when they start dating, red's definitely still traumatized and chloe's a lil gentleman, so game night becomes a staple indoor date for them. When they play monopoly for the first time, and chloe sees her girlfriends eyes light up and her smile get bigger when she spots the metal top hat she asks why it makes her happy, she learns about a mad hatter named Maddox, a man who cared for Red like she was his daughter.

So when the next time they play, chloe can't find the top hat piece, and when she looks at Red who's gotten up to fetch something out of the jacket she's been wearing that day and sees her come back with a mini metal top hat, she just smiles, because she's so happy that Red can find a little bit of comfort in that tiny little figure in her hand.

I love love love this episode so much because yes, they will make you cry because your girl Rhaenys is dead and the Red Queen Meleys went with her, but they will hit you after mere seconds with the devastation that a fight between three dragons, between two factions of the same House, between two Targaryens can cause. Cole touching a soldier and realizing he became dust in the wind because of the dragons' fire, the soldiers getting crushed by Vaghar's pawn in slow motion and the way it highlighted the enormous size difference between her and them- the fact that Meleys' corpse hit the same castle she was supposed to protect. the way that it is so clear what it truly means, a war fought by dragons.

I want to pick apart the brains of every winx fan who genuinely believes tecna should have long hair.

Just to know how it’s possible to be so incredibly wrong.

Reasons Why Daenerys Sacrificing Herself is Stupid

So, I have seen from the fandom points on that while people might not believe Daenerys will be killed, she will die sacrificing herself for the good of humanity against the Others in the books. Thus ending her arc in a 'better' manner. Yet this STILL includes harping on a female characters death, even if it is 'heroic', it's still just as bad as contemplating Dany dying by being killed by anything else. Some reasonings based on this theory vary:

-Some say Dany sacrificing herself will be a 'redemption' after she goes mad in the books and burns shit down (which is as ooc as it is and stems off of misogyny).

-Some say it is better for Dany to die sacrificing herself as a hero to rid/atone of the 'sins' of her ancestors (also misogynistic, and stupid.)

-Some say they'd rather see Dany die through self-sacrifice than any other way (but why see Dany die at all? Why not want for her to live happily instead, either as Queen or in a home of her own choosing?)

-Some say Dany will sacrifice herself to Jon as Nissa Nissa for the good of humanity (also misogynistic. Reduces Dany as a character. Dany is Azor Ahai, not Nissa Nissa).

The issue within Dany sacrificing herself overall, is it is an inherently misogynistic act within itself perturbed by those who want it to happen. Either way Dany sacrificing herself makes her a plot device, no matter how it happens. It strips away her character and what she represents.

-Dany sacrificing herself as Nissa Nissa is misogynistic in the way it strips Dany down from her character and simply makes her a tool. A vessel used for 'man pain' and only given a role for the man to be the hero. The woman dies so the man can continue on. She dies for the man and that is her only role in this portrayal. Even if Dany 'willingly' made herself Nissa Nissa and allowed it, overall it leaves a bad taste. It paints a narrative that her only use was for another man. A narrative that she was only useful for being a man's 'lover' and murdered in the end. A piece to be used and tossed away once done with.

Let's face the truth here, Dany is Azor Ahai. Her dragons Lightbringer. Dany does not need to be Nissa Nissa, because she already fulfilled the prophecy. Drogo was the sacrifice in this situation instead of Dany. The roles were reversed.

-Dany sacrificing herself (through battle or other means) also paints a misogynistic narrative. Her being a piece for sacrifice strips her of all her qualities; her intelligence, her ability and skill, her overall character arc and what she has done and achieved. It paints a picture that she is only of use to die. It makes everything she has ever achieved and accomplished and learned wasted on nothing. What is the point of her arc and all that she has learned and done if it's all just going to be wasted on her death in the end? Her apparently 'sacrificing' herself?

I do not see anyone discussed more of sacrificing themselves than Dany. And it's sad how people cannot enjoy a deeply written and amazing character without speculating on how they're going to die. It's sad people cannot enjoy Dany just for what she is without needing to make up theories just for how she will die. Why must she die? Why can't she live and have an accomplished and complete arc that results in her eventual happiness?

-The theory that Dany sacrificing herself for redemption after burning a city (like KL) is gross. Season 8 isn't canon, it isn't a part of G.R.R.M's ending. I highly doubt Dany is just gonna go crazy and start massacring people, when that has never been the point of her character and arc. G.R.R.M paints Dany as a HERO. Her narrative arc overall is that of a heroic one (but that doesn't have to include self-sacrifice done as a 'heroic' or 'redeemable act' either). G.R.R.M has also already denied a theory speculating Dany burning down the Water Gardens, why would he have her burn down KL instead? It makes no sense and would be a very ooc thing for Dany to do (no matter the circumstances). It is again, misogyny, to believe that Dany would just suddenly go crazy and burn shit, only to be able to 'redeem' her actions later by sacrificing herself and getting killed. If I needed that shit of an idea as an arc for Dany in the books, I might as well just ring up D&D and ask them to finish the books instead.

-Dany sacrificing herself to atone for the 'sins' of her ancestors/bloodline is also just as bad. What sins have her ancestors committed that she needs to atone for? I'd say most of her blood already atoned for their own sins given the tragedy that befell many Targs throughout the years. It does NOT fall on Dany to 'atone' for what her ancestors have done by sacrificing herself. There is the saying 'not to judge a person by the sins of their family'. Dany is not her family. She does not need to 'atone' for any sins. I'd say she's already doing a pretty good damn job of it already by upending the slavery economy, and being the person that she is- kind, compassionate, etc.

-As for theorizing she will sacrifice herself because there is no other vision for her death- again, I ask the question: why does she need to die at all?

Dany doesn't need to sacrifice herself. I doubt her arc will lead to that for her end. She is TPTWP, Azor Ahai. Her role against the Others will be one of triumph, not death. Dany is fire, she is life, she is Mother. There would be no point in her entire narrative arc, or even her written existence for that matter being raised up as such a large role, just for her to die in the end through 'self sacrifice'. I am sure many sacrifices will be needed during the Long Night, but Dany won't be one of them.

Let's not forget that Dany is the only person to

-First learn of the Song of Ice and Fire within the books

-Bring dragons back from extinction into the world

-Upend the slave trade/economy to help those enslaved

-Walk through fire to hatch dragons from stone

It is not her role to simply be used and traded off as some pawn for sacrifice. Her role is much bigger than just that. Dany is one of the main central characters within ASOIAF, she is the Fire in the title: A Song of Ice and Fire. Her role is not to sacrifice herself to the Others, but to end the coming darkness and bring Spring.

Dany is a hero, and she will continue to slay. Stay mad about it.

Negative Spaces

[strugglingsapphic]

Chad being Chloe's best man at her wedding because he's the first person she told about her feelings for Red and he talked her out of the ridiculous notion that Red didn't feel the same because he had watched those two girls grow up and seen how Red looked at his sister and he'd be damned if he let his sister throw away the best thing to ever happen to her.

Chad being her best man because there had been no one more supportive than him because as douchey as he could be, he loved his sister above all else and he was going to stand behind her happiness always, whether it was with a VK or not, he also loved red because even though she was an absolute smart ass, she made his sister happy and they had an agreement that chloe was the most important thing in the world

Chad being her best man because he helped her plan the proposal and talked some sense into her when she didn't know if she could do it, too scared of rejection when he had insider knowledge of also helping red plan her proposal for the exact same night and he couldn't wait to cackle with audrey when they realized he had been helping them both

Chad being her best man because other than red, He was and is her best friend and the best brother she could've ever asked for and how better for her to thank him than to have him stand by her side in what will be one of the most important days of her life (second to the birth of her children)
