I’m so sorry to capitalism but ever since I started my studies in literature I have had an intellectual awakening and have become such a hater to over-the-counter storytelling.

I’m very excited for Sunrise on the Reaping but I’m not excited for how the fandom is going to react to Haymitch’s character after seeing how people reacted to Snow

I'm just waiting for way too many people to only care about the young version of Haymitch and disregard the older, traumatized, self-medicating disaster of a man who deserves just as much as this portrayal. I can already see his character getting a whooooole lot of new fans because of being played by a young conventionally attractive actor and I'm going to be here with the small handful of people who have been a fan of his character for Years

If I start seeing bitches trying to sanitize the original trilogy portrayal of his character I'm going to start biting people

Shades of Alicent Hightower — HOUSE OF THE DRAGON (2022 - )

[fromevertonow]

I think I've seen this film before-

[fromevertonow]

the one thing i want to be able to do as a writer is make people come back to something ive written. i want that piece of text to haunt them, i want their thoughts to be briefly consumed by this. i want this to be something they remember long after its time. thats the one thing i want to do

Writing is all fun and games until you have to describe a room.

RIP Robb Stark, you would've loved to see a stark army crossing the twins 😔😔😔

failing to accept that the whole of House of the Dragon's conflict & narrative are founded entirely upon the love between Rhaenyra and Alicent is why so many people seem to be confused as to what the show is about. if you sit there and try to rationalize that the point of this show is to be a Game of Thrones prequel and nothing else, I can see why you'd be upset & confused... but the only way to come to that conclusion is to intentionally ignore that this show is all about the tragedy found in the fact that two women who love each other are being forced to destroy each others peace, family, joy and sense of self... they are, due to the circumstances of their births and lineage, being forced to abandon their most deeply held values in an effort to save their legacies and, in the process, forced to see their legacies destroyed. HOTD has been, from the very start, been about the tragedy and love that is carried between these two women.

the story, no matter how many GOT prequel dressing bits there are, is going to center around Rhaenyra and Alicent in an emotional sense. it's about that foundational and life defining love that they found in girlhood and held onto the rest of their lives, whether people choose to see it or not, and how that love never ceases to exist. no matter how much bloodshed there is and no matter how much the patriarchal society that essentially doomed them tries to rob them of it... that love will ultimately survive even when the world they knew prior to the dance is snuffed out.

"but in the book--"

this isn't the book! this is House of the Dragon! book discourse doesn't have any weight within the context of discussing this series. it hasn't since day one! why would it now? clinging to the canon of a book that isn't even written as a traditional narrative, especially when it's been followed so loosely since the very first episode... is silly. just give it up.

HOTD S2 🤝 The Bear S3

People with 0 media literacy skills complaining there wasn’t enough action and too much character building as if each respective story wasn’t blatantly obvious more ABOUT the characters than the plot

[fromevertonow]

the framing of rhaenyra being crushed under the literal weight of history and resigned to her own little cubbyhole of expectation versus alicent framed with the wide-open sky, reversed for the first time in their lives

Let them think what they must. I am at last myself.
