The real reason your sapient dragon character needs a "rider":

Dragons on the wing are vulnerable to being mobbed by smaller, more agile flyers, particularly in your large rear blind spot, like a bird of prey being mobbed by crows. Having a human armed with a long spear perched on your back helps to dissuade anyone from getting any funny ideas.

Breath weapons are impressive enough on the ground, but in flight they're really only good for strafing stationary targets; trying to use your breath weapon in an aerial dogfight is a good way to get fire up your nose. A real fight calls for sterner measures – and, concomitantly, a crew to aim and reload the cannons.

In today's competitive world, it's not enough to devour a flock of sheep and call it a day if you want to keep your edge. You're accompanied at all times by a qualified personal alchemist tasked with carefully regulating your internal furnace to ensure peak performance, and sometimes you even listen to them.

No dragon of any quality would be caught dead without their valet. It's not as though you can announce your numerous long-winded titles yourself when introductions are called for, can you? You suppose next you'll be expected to pick up the spoils of your conquests yourself, like a common brigand. Perish the thought!

alicent haters be like she should have girlbossed her way out of being a child bride with no material resources or support. she should have been a good mother too in an society and family system that situated her as a brood mother for power

i’m the person who puts politics into art. every work of art (every movie, book, tv show, video game, etc) is created apolitically and then they hire me as a consultant to put politics in. and then i put in the politics, and then it is published with the politics in it. and everyone just has to suffer because it makes me money.

Give yourself kindness when things are a mess! Whether it's physically in your space, or more abstractly in your life, we all need time to sort things out and get the right processes in place.

i know i've said this before but i'm going to say it again because the more i work with geriatric women the stronger i feel about the fact that the only anti-aging that women in their 20s/30s should be obsessed with is building strong bones and muscle mass. that's like the most important thing you can you can do right now to lay a good foundation for healthy aging. you can botox the shit out of your face but that's not going to do anything to save you from dying prematurely from a fatal hip fracture that you can't bounce back from because you didn't do anything to prevent yourself from becoming frail and breakable. like i know that sounds harsh but that is reality for a lot of older women and i don't want that to be you.

Once you realize Rhaenyra and Alicent are the loves of each other’s lives, the whole show, the characters’ decisions, dynamics and emotional responses make a LOT more sense. These are two queer women who have no sense of what that means for the time they live in, they just know there remains a shared love between them that transcends all the strife they’ve been through. Ultimately, they want to be together, even if it’s not in a literal “get married, grow old together” type of way.
