jace is not ‘pushing for war’ in the same way aegon and aemond are, and to insinuate so is ridiculous 😭
aemond specifically started a war because of his butthurt ego and inability to control his dragon, aegon celebrates this fact with a party. jace just doesn’t want his brothers death to be in vain and knows that his and his families lives are forfeit if they don’t fight back. he’s one of the only male characters in fire and blood that has to deal with the repercussions of misogynistic attacks; his mother is usurped (on account of her gender), loyalists at court (that he surely knew) were put to death for supporting his mother, she loses his baby sister in a traumatic stillbirth because of the usurpation, his brother is murdered in cold blood (he most likely blames himself for the plan that sent him to storm’s end), he’s going to die thinking he failed to save yet another brother. why would he not push for war? and why are violent misogynist one and two (who STARTED the war in the first place) allowed to react, to want revenge, to want to hurt others in response to their losses, but jace isn’t?
we can complain about the way the show frames women as the pacifist pushovers to the men being violent warmongers all day long but jace of all the male characters on screen is *not* included in that, come ON people 😒

This man has a PhD.
————
I honestly love how unhinged this man is in the movie. He casually strolls into Jerome Horwitz Elementary, gets a job, immediately clocks Melvin as a suck up teacher's pet, then reveals his evil motive to a classroom of children. He carries around a portable cage in his pocket. He refused the Nobel prize because he was slighted (fair tbh). His first thought when seeing a man-shaped hole in the principle's office was that he'd found the right batshit insane place to use as cover.
What an iconic little maniac. He deserves a spin-off.

When it comes to Penelope I feel like a lot of her fans take any valid criticism towards her and turn it into hate, which does her character a disservice. While some people do hate on her, a lot of it holds valid reasons. Admitting that she has hurt many people isn't wrong because she has, it's been shown on throughout the show and the impacts it can have. From labeling Daphne as "unmarriageable" during her first season and events that followed, her labeling Eloise as being part of a group of rebels, the terms she used to describe Kate [and Simon]-- which carried racial undertones no matter how you try to spin it, who didn't even know personally at that point, what she did Marina. All of these were very harmful and to say that none of these characters should feel angry, that they should just forgive Penelope without any work put into it is very laughable (especially because she's still writing as Whistledown and put many, namely women, at risk during a time where reputation is everything--something in which Penelope herself faces). With this being said, criticizing her actions, at least for me, doesn't come from a complete place of hate but more so from believing that she can be better if she puts in the work. By ignoring all that she's done and having her get her happily ever after so easily in the end, to be honest, would ultimately feel lackluster. I feel like she still has room to grow, but it will take a lot of work and, I personally, think seeing her renavigate who she is with who she wants to be outside of Lady Whistledown would be very interesting.

♱✮♱Simeon is the type to... ♱✮♱
Simeon is the type who would fit into your family without any problems. On the day when you decided to introduce your partner to your family, he did not feel any discomfort and quickly found a common language with them. Both of your parents gave their blessing and wished you two a wonderful future.
Simeon loves children, you've known that for a long time. If you have younger brothers and sisters, then know that they are now his relatives too. He would often suggest taking the younger ones on your walks. And he would often spoil them with all sorts of goodies and gifts.
Simeon would also suggest that Luke make friends with your siblings.
Angel would suggest creating a family early, if you certainly don't mind (including the possibility of adopting someone). There are times when he slips thoughts out loud about what a wonderful family you two would be.
Simeon is the type who prefers to give. Did you want the last piece of delicious pie? Of course it's yours. Do you need his attention? He will try to finish his business as soon as possible to give you what you want. Do you want a kiss? He's already climbing up to you to kiss you gently.
However, Simeon also likes to receive. Although it will be unusual for him at first, but in the end he will quickly get used to it. He will not require you to take care of him, but he will always be grateful to receive signs of attention from you.
He's the type who likes moderate spontaneity. Let's say, after a good dinner in a restaurant, you walk home and hear music from afar. He will offer you to dance to it. Both of you are dancing under the moonbeams, fortunately the streets surrounding you are illuminated and you can admire each other. You don't care that people stop to look at you and that they pay attention to your actions. Does it really matter? After all, you and Simeon having so much fun.
Simeon is the type who likes to walk in the rain. He likes to fool around with you and show youthful behavior. And he also likes the well-known cliche moment, where partners share one umbrella for two. He will ask you to get as close to him as possible so that you don't get wet. Angel also likes to wrap his arms around your waist and stroke you.
An angel does not mind just wrapping up in a blanket and reading a book in rainy weather. He invites you to spend this time alone with him. At such moments, each of you are doing your own business, sitting on the same sofa, sharing your warm blanket and hugging each other.
Simeon is the type who is always looking for inspiration in everything. Every creator needs to draw an idea from something, as this greatly simplifies the work process. Therefore, the angel is always looking for something new that can catch his eye. But inspiration comes and goes, and some things remain. Such as a personal muse. Simeon only needs one look at you, and he already feels much better. He can light you a dozen books and never lose ideas.
In addition, he likes to leave little references about you in each of his published books. He gives his characters some of your character traits and your habits. Reading his work, you always notice these references and are touched by this
