“The point of the show is that they are all terrible!!!”

Actually no at this point it’s really just fucking Shauna.

-Lottie is mentally ill and delusional

-Nat is a saint

-Misty hasn’t done much wrong since S1

-Van and Tai are just trying to survive and cope

-Melissa pulled away when she realized how crazy Shauna was

-Hannah did That because she would have died if she didn’t

-Travis and Akilah also saints

Everyone else is a pretty fair depiction of what trauma, desperation, and mob mentality can push fundamentally good people to do.

Shauna is just pure evil and a psychopath.

If Aegon was truly so empathetic, wouldn’t he like, not murder a dozen innocent rat catchers?

TGC calling Aegon empath was hilarious

real. if aegon was truly so empathetic wouldn't he like, not be a usurper? makes ya think

Am I the only one who has Last Boss as their least favorite AiB character?

Not in terms of how much I hate them as people. That (dis)honor belongs to Niragi. But at least with Niragi, I find his villainy either entertaining or genuinely horrifying, depending on the scene. Niragi evokes the emotions in me a villain is supposed to evoke- namely disgust, but still. Last Boss I just find... cringy. And I hate using that term because I am a firm believer that cringe should die and people can do whatever they like. There's nothing wrong with being weird, but you lose me when the ultimate manifestation of that weirdness is just... killing people. He acts as though he's this deep person embracing freedom and his true nature in Borderland, but no dude— you are just some asshole that likes killing people. That's it. You aren't deep. You aren't special. You aren't enlightened. Your response to being *freed from the bonds of society* is to get face tats, act like an edge lord, and stab innocent people with a sword. Stfu.

Sorry if this is an unpopular opinion, I certainly have no issue with people liking his character. But yeah... not for me. Kuina ate when she kicked his ass <3

Not the GTs who come screaming like little children to be believed that Lucerys deserves to die. They will never grow up. I just don't understand their obsession with Luke. Why do you have to find evidence of his "guilt" and write entire essays? None of that can deal with how shitty Aemond and Aegon are in the books and the show!

I'll never truly understand Green stans to be honest. I can understand the "both sides are awful people", but genuine Green defenders? People who actually think Luke is terrible and Aemond is fine? That's a level of delusion that I just marvel at.

[rynnthefangirl]

Luke and Jace (under Aegon's guidance…) bullied Aemond as children, so Aemond was completely justified in murdering Luke.

Aegon had mocked Aemond, so Aemond was completely justified in burning Aegon alive in an attempt to murder him.

If you have ever been someone's "bully," your "victim" should kill you. The "victim" is completely justified in this and should do it. It's logical.

Aemond was bullied as a child, so he is justified in burning the entire town alive in adulthood. After all, he was frustrated because his sister didn't want to murder people with him.

I know it's just a show, but let's look at it another way: David, when he was 5, was making fun of Stephan. Stephan is completely justified in breaking into the school with a gun and murdering David. And other innocent students, because he was frustrated.

Aemond is the medieval version of a school shooter. You won't change my mind.

I find it so funny that tv karube got fired, died and still ended up on the clock

Nothing about Luke's behavior was normal. Just accept that he was a spoiled brat who knew he would get away with his horrible actions, and that it was his parents' fault, but it didn't absolve him of responsibility. He was the adult at dinner and chose to smirk in the face of the man he had crippled. Not to mention that he himself is an extremely mediocre and uninteresting character who only matters because of Aemond. He is still remembered because of him. And his fans should have some sense not to act like Lucerys is an innocent bastard. He did something horrible and paid for it with his life. Period. Move on, don't whine.

I love this ask, it so perfectly demonstrates TG’s unique brand of butthurt biased assholery.

Yes, Luke’s behavior is that scene was normal kid behavior. It was giggles over a childish prank played on a younger brother by an older brother. Giggles. And the prank itself was mean spirited, but not evil. He was not an adult at the dinner, he was 13. That isn’t even an adult by Westeros standards, let alone modern standards. He was a child. And I love the complete lack of addressing what I said about Aegon and Aemond. TG double standards are insane. Laughter = death sentence. Rape and murder = awww, they’re just poor twaumatized babies I love them🥺🫶

Ahh, then we have the classic TG insults:

1. TB is boring and uninteresting - that’s fine if you feel that way, like and dislike whatever characters you want! But usually greenies say this bc they know that their faves are vastly worse human beings so they have to instead shift the convo from character morality to character depth. Hence how it’s always said with overly dick-ish phrasing rather than just saying “I like TG because I find them more interesting”.

2. Annnnd there’s the term “bastard” ! TG challenge: have a convo about one of the Velaryon boys without calling them a “bastard”. Challenge: literally physically impossible. Y’all can’t help yourselves, you just vibrate in the excitement at any chance to cosplay as a medieval bigot. Weirdos😂

“Move on, don’t whine” I’m sorry who came into whose ask box?? I tag this shit anti-TG, it’s not for you, just scroll next time.

why did the writers make Luke like this? he was nice in the book...

Honestly? This is normal kid behavior and not a big deal. I grew up with three older brothers and they bullied me my entire childhood. I'm almost 30 and to this day my brother still mocks me over something from when I was 5 years old, and it still pisses me off. But guess what? I got over it like a normal person, and we have a great relationship.

Luke is being an immature teenager. That's it. He's not a terrible person, and he certainly doesn't deserve to DIE for giggling over an old prank from when he was five, that's insane. Luke IS nice in the show, we see how sweet he is in his interactions with Rhaenyra and Corlys. And in a show where the other person in this conversation literally burned entire villages full of innocent people to the ground with his Godzilla dragon, calling out Luke for some— admittedly mean-sprited— giggles is wildly hypocritical. Luke is a 13 year old who doesn't really understand how much Aemond was affected by their childish pranks. Aemond is an actual psychopathic murderer.

All of this of course ignoring the fact that Luke was just a 5 year old tagging along with his big cousin Aegon, the actual ring leader of Aemond's bullying. Ya know, the guy that TG adores and wants to have absolute power.

Ok but what if the plan works a little too well and Daeron gets out of rehab just in time for Maekar to kick it... anyways King Daeron lll Targaryen AU

Hahahaha I LOVE this!! King Daeron III, George we could have had it alllllll ! (uhh, still followed up by King Egg? Bc I love King Egg.)

^yes yes yes this this this!!!

I love Chota so much, he was my first favorite in the show (and still my favorite let’s be real), and deserves so much more recognition. Literally the embodiment of friendship how could you hate him??😭 Plus his and Arisu’s dynamic is so cute. They kind of remind me of Aang and Sokka tbh. Like that scene where Aang and Sokka are trying to act like fancy Earth Kingdom elites and accidentally bang their heads together? Absolutely Arisu and Chota coded. I adore Arisu and Karube’s dynamic, but Arisu and Chota can just be fun idiots together and I think that’s beautiful.

Also anyone who ever brings up manga Chota as a reason to hate the character, just know that I am mentally stabbing you with a fork. Like stfu let me enjoy my sweet silly little guy in peace, idgaf about the manga. And it’s always people commenting on posts that are so clearly and obviously about the show, or even straight up using pictures from the show??? Like if you want to make a post about the manga, that’s fine, but make it about the manga. I’ve come to realize that some people just genuinely do not understand the concept of separate canons, which blows my mind. How do you not understand separate canons?? It’s such a simple concept! Is the show 100% accurate to the manga in every way, with zero contradictions? No? Then what is true in the manga isn’t automatically true in the show! It’s literally just headcanon, which I guess if you want to headcanon a character as a creep go ahead, but don’t tell me that I have to. I’ll stick with the far superior version of the character thank you very much.

Okay, I’ll stop with the word vomit. But OP you are a real one, I love seeing Chota appreciation🫶 Our boy deserved so much better💔

HOT aib take but I hate hate hate when people only talk about Karube in the old trio. LIKE WHERES THE REP FOR MY MAN CHOUTA I LOVE HIM 🫶 and like. I get that in the manga Chouta is like an annoying ass character but for ppl who only watched the show like he's so loveable??

I genuinely swear it's bc the actor for Karube is conventionally attractive because the amount of favoritism I see for him is craaaaazy (looking at you tiktok fandom). Even in places like ao3 like I see so many works that are either chirisu or arisagi focused with background/past ArisuxKarube and they always just throw Chouta to the side?? Like he's either disregarded entirely or just called annoying and sensitive which pisses me off. Even in platonic fics where nothing happens Karube is always more important of a character

The magical part about that trio is that they all have different personalities that balance each other out. Like Chouta is so sensitive and sweet and is such an anchor especially for Karube when he gets hot headed and his bubbly personality cheers Arisu up even during the depths of his depression like how could you not love him

I could talk about the trio dynamics literally forever omg

[rynnthefangirl]

hey gamers I’ve started watching star trek does anyone else see the romantic tension between captain kirk and mr. spock

[rynnthefangirl]

Hot take, but even if we all agree that Paris kidnapped Helen from the very beginning, at worst, he's still pretty much the same as Achilles. Though I guess Paris didn't murder Helen's entire family and sack Sparta, so that might give him a leg up in the morality contest.

[rynnthefangirl]

They are 100% referring to Rosby and Stokeworth. Which is the DUMBEST, most bad-faith argument on the face of the planet, which falls apart with even the tiniest bit of critical thinking.

Rhaenyra’s claim is based on the idea that lords and kings have the right to choose their own heirs, even if that heir is a woman and goes against traditional succession order.

Lady Rosby and Lady Stokeworth were NOT— I repeat, NOT— named heir by their fathers. Both had brothers who were presumed heirs, and the lords who have the right to decide succession, never gave ANY indication that they wanted to change that. Rhaenyra didn’t steal anything from any women, because they were never set to inherit in the first place. What Rhaenyra did was not defy a lord’s wish to impose her own will on another house’s succession. She didn’t steal the sons’ inheritance to further her own political aims. Because that would make her a hypocrite.

Also, let’s not ignore what was ACTUALLY being proposed as the alternative. Because this wasn’t “oh women should inherit let’s establish gender neutral primogeniture”. DAEMON (who OP calls a misogynist) was the one who wanted to give the houses to the daughters… because he wanted to force them to marry Hugh Hammer and Ulf White. It was supposed to be a reward for Rhaenyra’s MALE supporters, so that THEY could be in control of the Houses/lands.

This was not about Rhaenyra thinking herself the exception, or taking anything away from other women. This was nothing more than her following the exact logic and argument that she is using to justify her right to the Iron Throne. Lords. Decide. Their. Own. Succession.

The Greens are back at it again with their delusional as fuck takes.

What exactly has Rhaenyra stolen from other women?

*Snap snap* Quickly.

She couldn't have stolen a throne from Rhaenys, by the time she's been named heir it's been like two fucking decades since the Great Council of 101, and it was actually Viserys and Jaehaerys and the lords/ladies that voted AGAINST her rule that took it away from her.

Not Rhaenyra.

She couldn't have stolen anything from Alicent. It's not Rhaenyra's fault that she was born a princess and Alicent was just a daughter of a second son from one of the great houses, that's just random chance on circumstance of birth. It's not Rhaenyra's fault that Alicent had to go after Viserys and then eventually married him, that's on Otto for forcing her and Viserys for choosing to marry her. It's not Rhaenyra's fault that Alicent is confined to suffer in silence and have zero happiness and no freedom because "that's just what women have to do," that's on their society and---as an adult---Alicent herself because she never even tried to make things better, not that's been shown or mentioned anyway.

All of that is on Otto, Viserys, society, and adult!Alicent making her own chains.

Not Rhaenyra.

She couldn't have stolen Daemon from Laena because in the books they were basically a throuple and in the show nothing happens, and Daemon and Rhaenyra literally don't even SEE each other, until she's already dead. And Daemon still pining after Rhaenyra while he's married isn't her fucking fault, she hasn't seen/talked to him in over ten fucking years, that's on Daemon.

Not Rhaenyra.

She couldn't have stolen Laena's daughter's "right to Driftmark" for her sons because it's Corlys who decided/decides on the succession, and Rhaenyra even GIVES HER DAUGHTERS MORE by betrothing them to her sons---making Baela the future Queen and Rhaena the future Lady of Driftmark anyway. Even if she didn't, though, the fact that Laena's daughters weren't named the heirs to Driftmark was on Corlys.

Not Rhaenyra.

She couldn't have taken Jaehaerys from Helaena, she had no idea Blood and Cheese was going on/had happened, and we even SEE Rhaenyra get angry about it on Helaena's behalf. B&C was Daemon's doing and so Daemon is responsible for Jaehaerys' death.

Not Rhaenyra.

Like...there's literally nothing she could've possibly "stolen" from other women, so I have no fucking clue what this person could possibly be referring to.

And as for Rhaenyra "not doing anything about her misogynistic incel husband," do you mean the same way that Alicent doesn't do anything about her misogynistic rapist son? The same way Alicent doesn't do anything about her incel kinslayer son (who eventually also is a rapist)? The same way Alicent literally does EVERYTHING SHE CAN to uphold misogyny and weaponize it against other women, including to abuse and humiliate them and even THREATEN a rape victim?

Like that?

And, call me crazy, but compared to a vast number of men in that show Daemon is not a misogynistic incel.

He showed care and understanding of Rhaenyra's fear of childbirth, he gave let Laena decide what she wanted to do when she was dying in childbirth and actually cared about her survival, (in a deleted scene) he cared for and comforted his daughters and he was never shown to only give af about having a son, he never said anything negative about Rhaenyra having a sexual relationship outside of her marriage and even showed interest and care for her in regards to it, he defended her against a man calling her a whore as well as others that threatened her/their family, he stayed faithful to her, and he is ACTIVELY FIGHTING and eventually DIES fighting for HER claim to the throne.

The bar is in hell, yeah, but Daemon is jumping over it---which is more than I can say for the men Alicent associates with, since we're judging them on that.

And Alicent was NOT supported by "everyone" be so fucking serious right now 💀 the only people who "supported" her were the Greens, and even then she never actually had any genuine support. She was only supported by her father and the other Greens because she was useful in their plans, they didn't give a fuck about her once they had what they wanted, which was Aegon on the throne.

They didn't give a fuck about her because TG is nothing but a bunch of misogynists and Alicent is a WOMAN, she ain't anymore "special" than every other woman and she's gonna be subjected to the same treatment as everyone else---which is why she's supposedly "licking Rhaenyra's boots."

She fought FOR sexism and misogyny and the oppression of women, but when she suddenly realized that she wasn't gonna be the exception to the rule because she's so "special," she got upset and wanted to backtrack because suddenly misogyny isn't so fun anymore. If you ask me, that sounds like a hypocrite and a moron.

Not to mention that, before this, Alicent wasn't even "licking Rhaenyra's boots"---she literally fought for her usurpation, spread rumors that could get her [Rhaenyra's] sons killed, injured her, abused her for 10+ years, humiliated her every chance she got, and betrayed her at every turn.

The "nicest" thing she did for her was say that she shouldn't be killed.

That's literally it.

Alicent offering Aegon and Aemond's heads on a silver platter to Rhaenyra was less about "uwu I wuve Rhaenyra so muwch" and more her covering her ass because she doesn't wanna be on Team Sexism anymore because they're not treating her special and trying to cop out of any consequences.

So yeah, literally every sentence of that take was wrong 🤷‍♀️

[rynnthefangirl]

Team Green is so fucking delusional, I swear, but what’s new?

First of all, there ARE thousands of smallfolk on Dragonstone, that’s literally the point. Dragonstone is the seat of the heir to the throne, where they’re meant to rule a populated island in preparation for them ruling the Seven Kingdoms, kind of like a practice run and a test of their skills before they actually rule. Just because the writers of HotD ignore all the political intricacies and world building of asoiaf- (political intricacies and world building that made GoT so popular, I might add) -in favor of “cooler” action scenes and “blah blah blah Rhaenicent” doesn’t make it any less true.

And Team Green forgets, or likely ignores since it contradicts their “TG cares about family” bullshit, but Aegon and Helaena- (Jaehaerys’ PARENTS) -literally didn’t want the funeral to happen.

Otto outright TELLS US ON SCREEN that the reason they’re doing it is to garner sympathy and turn people away from the Blacks- (which is why the announcer is saying “behold the work of Rhaenyra the Cruel” rather than a eulogy or anything about Jaehaerys) -and then we see both Aegon and Helaena oppose that, only to get steamrolled by Otto and Alicent. Helaena says she doesn’t want to grieve in front of the smallfolk, but then Alicent pressures her before trying to cover her ass about Criston. Aegon literally states outright that he doesn’t want his son’s body dragged through the streets and looks to Alicent for help, but she ignores him and—by how Otto acts in that scene—we can assume that Otto pushed until he got his way or simply did it without Aegon’s consent.

They likely WANTED a private funeral like Rhaenyra had, but unlike Rhaenyra- (who was surrounded by people who actually cared about her and Lucaerys, which is why we don’t get “behold the work of Aegon the Cruel” and using her son’s body as a political pawn) -Aegon and Helaena were surrounded by people who cared more about power than their actual family, despite what TG would have you think.

As for Team Black supposedly “not caring about the smallfolk like Team Green,” where’s the damn proof?

Rhaenyra getting mad and making a petulant comment at seventeen after watching a play they held making fun of an insecurity she’s had for years? Daemon killing a random guy as a body double for Laenor in a scene that doesn’t exist in the books? Rhaenys making her entrance at Aegon’s coronation in another scene that never happens in the books? The dragonseed scene which, again, NEVER HAPPENS IN THE BOOKS?

At this point, the show is basically fan fiction and I’m gonna treat it as such- (but with much less respect tbh) -because say what you will about F&B being a “biased history book,” but y’all know damn well that the Maesters would’ve JUMPED at the chance to talk all about how terrible TB was if any of that shit had actually happened.

But hey, if TG wants to use it as evidence in their arguments, so can I!

Did TG care about the smallfolk when Aegon raped a serving girl and Alicent threatened her into silence? Did TG care about the smallfolk when they started a war they knew damn well would result in the deaths and suffering of smallfolk? Did TG care about the smallfolk when Aegon killed all the rat catchers, including innocent people who didn’t do anything? Did TG care about the smallfolk when they spent money on lavish feasts for themselves while the smallfolk of King’s Landing starved?

And that’s not even including anything from the books, in which they—unsurprisingly—murder smallfolk on a much bigger scale, like Aemond burning the Riverlands.

But hey, Team Green is “team smallfolk,” right?

Call me crazy but I’m not gonna take a single scene where Aegon is nice to a peasant who is ACTIVELY STROKING HIS EGO as evidence of him and his side giving a damn about the smallfolk when everything else they do is in opposition to that.

And, not for nothing, but Rhaenyra was said to have charmed and earned the love of the smallfolk in the books, who quite literally went to FIGHT and DIE for her—not to mention that it’s someone from TEAM BLACK in the books who points out the fact that smallfolk are dying and that that’s a bad thing:

“I’ll have no songs about how brave you died, Kingmaker. There’s tens o’ thousands dead on your account.” — Plate Longleaf to Criston Cole

So like…yeah.

I’m not gonna sit here and say that Rhaenyra and co. were out on the streets handing out soup to the homeless or had plans of turning KL into a classless communist utopia or whatever, but let’s not pretend that Team Green was any better.

And if either side is “team smallfolk” it’s not the ones who started a war over greed, knowing how badly it would harm the people of the realm 🤷‍♀️

[rynnthefangirl]

Definitely the latter. He acts tough but he’ll crumble immediately when faced when Chota’s legitimately serious money/family issues or Arisu’s pathetic wet puppy dog aura.
