JOHN LOCKE IS REALLY DEAD WHAT THR FUCK

[nedmelting]

becoming mildly obsessed with frieren beyond journeys end (the demons are so evocative and cool)

a million issues with hotd s2, which have all been litigated to death. but given how much focus alicent gets, and how central the schism between alicent & her children was to the finale, it's baffling that we don't see the scene where aemond returns from storms end, and doubles down on his new reputation as a kinslayer.

adapting aegon's conquest is such a bad idea. the conquest is a very straightforward story of some guy winning over and over. and aegon works much better as a larger-than-life figure that people aspire to than as a real guy.

adapting maegor's ascension and rule would be way better. balerion in the hands of a monster is a way more compelling pitch & striking image. you could flesh out such an interesting relationship between maegor and his brothers & nephew. you get a really good mix of closeness and distance from aegon the conqueror by focusing on his sons. visenya rocks during the maegor years. you get the trial, the conflict with the faith, and a really good mysterious ending to play with. i genuinely think this would rip a lot.

aegons "dragoncock" moniker was foreshadowing his penis catching fire

very funny that helaena and allicent act like aemond is crazy for wanting his side of the war to make use of their only other functional full size WMD

Tiny kitty that can be made with 2 pipe cleaners. If you care. If you even care.

Addam Velaryon is in an entirely different kind of fantasy series as everyone else where he’s an orphan that found a magical creature and is about to be picked up by his secret rich dad, presented by pixar. Good for him

[nedmelting]

loved the sibling motif this episode. daemon, aemond, and allicent all coveted what their brothers had and resented them for it. daemon is wallowing in regret for how he fucked things up with viserys, aemond has turned into the joker, and only allicent succeeds in meaningfully relating to her sibling. maybe it's because gwayne reciprocated her jealousy. maybe its because their different genders, making their different wants unactionable. really great stuff. olivia, ewan, and matt are going sicko mode

[nedmelting]

allicent concluding that she is the rot ruining her children and sending her youngest to foster in oldtown for fear of infecting him 🤪 i feel fine

[nedmelting]

mhmm...

[nedmelting]

kind of obsessed with this side of tiktok that im on where "tv people" will be doing like head to heads of their favourite shows with some pretty reasonable categories (best protagonist, best comedy) and then stuff like "dynamics" and "enjoyment". they invented powerscalers for art

[nedmelting]

wheres that joke post the other day that was like the smallfolk pray every day theyll have the honour of being crushed to death by one of the targaryen dragons that they worship and adore. anyway theyre saying that without a shred of irony on tiktok

[nedmelting]

if he can chop 50 more kilos of lumber he can repay his debt to tom nook

ik whatever’s coming daemon is gonna be doing something utterly painfully stupid

[nedmelting]

aegon sleeping through alicent holding his hand and sitting at his bedside and cupping his cheek and waking only in time to see her retreating back and mumbling "mummy" is so sick and twisted holy shit

my apologies to the shibuya incident jjk i wasnt familiar with ur game

[nedmelting]

the blacks need to be so much messier like the greens have allicent constantly telling her son to fuck off, valyrian pissing contests, tyland being a horse, etc and the blacks are having the same argument every episode about choosing war/not choosing war. they gotta bring daemon back so he & rhae can have a public fight about who gets vermithor in the divorce
