The most recent chapter of Half’n’Half has further de-aging shenanigans and poor Ford is in a hell of his own making. RIP dude

Have my take on Fiddleford and the HnH version of Nell

hotd fandom AND production team does not deserve the black actors (specifically the black women) in the cast at all bruh . making characters black just to absolutely butcher their plots isn’t inclusive btw!! they absolutely butchered laena and rhaenyras storyline, completely erase nettles and DONT even get me started on those fuckass wigs they keep putting on bethany and phoebe omg. and the way the fandom treats them and their characters?? like second or third thoughts?? black actors and characters on this show deserve more

Bethany and TGC exchanging playful banters about each other's characters is not the same as you insulting either of these actors. Some of you losers are so ignorant and lacking in intelligence, it's laughable! Bethany and Tom are co-stars who are probably friends; they most likely don't give much thought to their characters like some of you overly-obsessed individuals do.

Instead of fixating on these fictional characters, focus on getting a life maybe? I don't know.. 🤷‍♀️

Regarding your post about the fandom– what happened?

Bethany Antonia, the actress who plays Baela Targaryen has received this miserable, disgusting and racist message on IG. She herself has posted it on her account.

How the hotd fandom would feel like if SOME people didn't take their anger out on some of the cast:

Feel whatever you want to feel about the characters. Like them, love them, or hate them. But for the love of everything that is holy, LEAVE THE CAST ALONE. They are doing their jobs, people shouldn't take their anger out of them because of what their character did.

One of the funniest crack theories I've ever read is the one saying that La'an and Antonia from Star Trek Generations are the same person.

[asongofstarkandtargaryen]

Ι hope the actors/actresses who portray Baela and Rhaena ( Bethany Antonia and Phoebe Campbell) will get the spotlight they deserve on season 2.

First, bc their characters are both awesome and deserve the same spotlight team green's younger generation gets . And more importantly because both these people got so much unfair criticism by racists on season 1. They really deserve better!

The new Fall Out Boy album is still overwhelming my brain lol

Drew these at my favorite local coffee shop. I spend about two hours ever Saturday drawing there. It’s so nice 👍

I always say I hate getting into a fandom because of the inevitable discourse. You shippers remain some of the absolute worst part of the fandom. I'm not saying all shippers btw. The shippers who draw art of their favorite couples and “ship” different characters but also respect other people's “ships” cause y'know it's fiction and stuff at the end of the day, y'all are cool people. Just wanna say I love your unproblematic asses. You see the others, please go bite the dust. Why the fuck are you so mean? These people are NOT REAL!!!! The new season of hotd hasn't even started and y'all are already back on your bullshit. Being racist and sending death threats towards the cast and other people in the fandom and just overall being fuckin vile human beings because “your ship doesn't make sense or have chemistry or yadda yadda yadda blah blah blah” STFU!. LEAVE THE ACTORS ALONE, LEAVE THE PRODUCERS AND THE SHOW STAFF ALONE. LEAVE OTHER PEOPLE ALONE!! GO OUTSIDE AND BREATHE THE FRESH AIR, THE SHIT IS NEVER THAT SERIOUS. SEVEN FUCKIN HELLS MAN. Let's use Beth and Harry for an example, the stuff that comes from some of your accounts are absolutely vile and I wish you the fuckin worst. Then y'all love quoting “but they're not following the source material” to justify y'all being racist and nasty towards them. I have some news for you. If you read the books and not just gloss over what you wanna read you'd know that their characters were inevitably endgame had everything went right, there was no such thing as “BROKEBACK WINTERFELL”, as fun as that plot would've been, Jace and Cregan had a brotherly relationship and “Sara Snow” was just Mushroom only account and he wasn't even near or in Winterfell, so it was probably just his “fevered musings” she probably 100% didn't even exist, it was a campaign to slander Rhaenyra and her children and that's canon. Calling Bethany all sorts of vile things cause you're not in the writers room and can't write your headcanons is sick. Sending death threats to Harry is absolutely mental. Seek professional help!! Not just them alone but you get the gist. Please just try to be decent people. You don't have to like something everybody else probably likes but you also don't have to be a CUNT for no apparent reason. IT'S JUST FICTION. LET'S JUST WATCH THE SHITSHOW AND HAVE FUN.

Bad company

I said before about the Harry Potter fandom is how it risks enabling somebody else's sins, especially if these are things they're vulnerable to in some way or another. It's like you have a cousin who likes Harry Potter and is especially vulnerable to lust that reading a lot of Harry Potter slash is enough to give them a taste of gay porn in some way, it wouldn't be true for others but the fact that Harry Potter slash is a thing should tell you about how it could lead others to reading more M/M erotica.

Actually it needn't to be Harry Potter to do the job, any other fandom would do and it would be the same thing. I remember this blog post by somebody who said that while they didn't really get into the occult from being into Harry Potter a lot, it did make them doubt God and do idolatry that they grew more cautious towards it. A love of Harry Potter wouldn't necessarily lead somebody to the occult, but if somebody has issues with lust that a mere romantic attraction to a certain character could risk setting up a wildfire.

Like if they have the hots for say Severus Snape that they feel compelled to sexualise him a lot more, seek out stories that do the same and so on and so forth. It needn't to be him to do the trick, any other Harry Potter would do and it would still be the same thing. Liking Harry Potter in isolation could pose a problem, but the attendant fandom magnifies the risk, especially to those who're spiritually immature and vulnerable to any particular sin. Especially when it comes to things like idolatry and lust.

I feel all fandoms are concentrated forms of idolatry, like whatever time is spent on knowing a lot about well, say Warhammer lore should've been spent on reading the Bible, devotionals and listening to sermons. I feel any story with anti-Christian tendencies could still pose problems for those with a weaker conscience, in the sense of glorifying said sin unless if somebody intercedes for someone else's salvation. I did this to Antonia Fraser because she has a character who cheats a lot.

I prayed to God to help her write a story where this character no longer cheats and is married, in addition to praying for her salvation that in the foreseeable future she could do more than that really. This character will no longer cheat and become a married mother instead, one who goes to church and is married to a Christian pastor or something. The author herself would even write devotionals, so that's off to a good start. One could do the same with JK Rowling, really if someone's willing to.

Or any other author one wants to settle scores with and/or is sympathetic to on some level, if you intercede for their salvation God will grant you more than that really. That you prevented them from going to Hell is a good accomplishment for as long as they're still alive, I guess if more people are willing to pray for their authors' salvation and have them stop certain bad habits, then God can do that and much more.

But I feel for other people, it's easier to make an idol out of something and it's something I've done before so, than it is to trust God fully because sometimes we tend to worry a lot or distrust him on some level. So I feel with secular fandoms, they provide a kind of relief. Though it's a relief more akin to drugs, which gets more apt when it comes to wanting more of the same bad thing. It's not healthy, it's no good and it's never good to begin with.

While it is possible to pray for the salvation of JK Rowling and have her stop certain bad habits, like I did with Antonia Fraser, when it comes to something as immersive as Harry Potter the risk of idolatry would be way too easy. One may not develop an interest in witchcraft because of Harry Potter, but one could turn Harry Potter into a idol by neglecting a relationship with God or anything else in his place really.

It's hard because you want to do something, but you put more faith in something than in him that you better repent or something, as hard as it is as I know from experience. It could be said that it's not wrong to like Harry Potter for as long as it doesn't become an idol in your life, but the thing with any fandom is that it's this easy to slip into idolatry. Especially when such enthusiasm for those stories begins to mimic religious devotion to the Lord that it replaces it at times.

Regardless if it's Harry Potter or not, secular fandom will always pose a problem to those who're spiritually immature. Being not too set in their faith, they risk being vulnerable to worshipping anything other than God that they need somebody more spiritually mature to set them straight or some event to make them draw closer to him again. Secular fandom will also lead them to other problems, especially those that take advantage of their other vices.

Like if your cousin is vulnerable to lust that a romantic attraction to a certain character would take them to a really bad place, like they might come out admitting they got into gay porn because they read HP slash a lot and they fetishise black men a lot because they had a crush on say Blaise Zabini for instance. It needn't to even be him to do the trick, but the risk is always there if somebody's vulnerable to certain bad habits like these.

So as what the Bible says, it's best to stay away from bad company lest they take you to places that'll corrupt you all the more. Perhaps by discovering and joining more Christian Facebook groups and discovering better influences, I may not always get on track but at least I have somebody else who'll lead me on the right track. Along with my growing addiction to devotionals and sermons that these are all good influences on me, after a period of backsliding.

This could help for others, especially when it comes to discovering and/or seeking out better influences, to put themselves on the right track. It's not necessarily wrong to like Harry Potter, but if you're spiritually immature you're way better off following more mature Christians instead. The path isn't easy, you'll still sin from time to time, but you'll learn to grow from your experiences and develop a stronger bond with God as you mature in your faith.

We told y’all as soon as they killed Laena that the HOTD writers were living out some weird fantasy and being antiblack. We’ve been telling y’all for MONTHS that the HOTD/GOT fandom was filled with a bunch of racist idiots. Y’all never listened. We voiced our concerns with Nettles in s2 and you called us everything but children of god. You also proved that not only can’t some of y’all read but that you have no comprehension skills and that Black ppl are an afterthought in your minds. There’s no way you didn’t know Nettles was Black when that’s quite literally the only way she looks in her fanart and how she is described in the book. It should not take Bethany having a racist experience for y’all to believe us. You can never shut up and listen. You have to run your mouths cuz you can’t fathom Black ppl existing anywhere.
