#and she did :')

[queen-morgana91]

Another day another Aang's haters rewatch properly the southern raiders (without shipping glasses)

Aang wasn't try to stop Katara. Aang wasn't try to impose his beliefs on Katara

Both him and Sokka genuinely wanted to help her because they do care for her

The whole thing was not letting her anger get the best of her. She didn’t need someones life on her conscience at such a young age. And that’s why Aang did ask her to forgive him (aka let her anger go for her own sake, not becoming friends or something lol)

This is the same girl who was traumatized when she used bloodbending. She's a nice and empathetic person, not a murderer

There's a reason if Sokka agrees with Aang (you know, Katara's BROTHER. Kya's SON). There's a reason if Zuko said Aang was right (the guy who was with Katara in that episode)

It's crazy how some of you believe Aang and Sokka, of ALL people, had ill intentions towards her

Are you kidding me.....

Never forget that Inej canonically rejected Kaz when he confessed his feelings for her after the ice court heist (as she should have) and he took it like a champ (as he should have). He literally quipped with her on the island in front of Van Eck before shit hit the fan and said something like “I’m not big on bluffing am I, Inej?”

Everything went back to normal between the two of them and I have no choice but to stan.

Thinking about poor, doomed Young Griff and how it’s not even important if he is or isn’t Rhaegar’s real son. Because what makes him a fake goes beyond blood - it’s really down to intent and experience. He’s a poor rich man’s Aegon V, but like without the organic hero’s journey.

He’s a lab experiment pretty much. However well intentioned he is, there isn’t much indication that his journey has been authentic. Varys and Illyrio are trying to recreate Aegon V with a fake...literally down to the “let’s hide his hair” scheme. They even gave the boy Aegon’s freaking name (it’s a king’s name after all so I can’t blame them). But they missed like the biggest, most important lesson of all. Aegon V CHOSE to go out. HE made himself, no one else did. His journey was organic as it was derived out of his own autonomous decisions, not manufactured down to the smallest detail (does YG really know what it means to starve and be homeless and hunted?). And there was no promise of a reward (I.e., kingship). Egg didn’t know that he’d be king and even after his dad rose to the throne, there were a ton of people ahead of him. FFS he’s called Aegon the Unlikely. Bro just woke up one day and was like “ay wouldn’t it be nice to actually experience this realm from the perspective of a disenfranchised person?”

Meanwhile, our poor Young Griff is being made to go through all this with the expectation that it’s all going to pay off when he becomes king. BUT (big but!), who’s to say that he actually gets it? Like does he really get why he needs to see how this horrible feudalistic society preys on the smallfolk and makes corpses out of them? Wait, does he even know or recognize that the system needs changing? Like did Varys and Illyrio just tell him “people poor” and leave it at that? Why are they poor Young Griff? How did they get there?! Do Varys and Illyrio even get it? Do they understand that Aegon V was a radical change maker?

How hollow is it that it’s not Young Griff making the conscious decision to actually try and see how his subjects live. He’s not making the conscious decision to be a change maker, no matter what Varys and Illyrio say. People in this fandom will talk about how Young Griff will be the perfect king but…perfect for whom? In what way? In a series that critiques this entire system, what about YG screams that he’s going to actually tackle some of the systemic issues that need tackling - the systemic issues that Aegon V tried to tackle after organically going through his own journey?

WELLLLL….isn’t it cool that Jon and Dany are the true heirs to Aegon V’s legacy not because of blood, but because they actually get to the heart of Aegon V’s journey? Say what you want about them but they are radical as it gets (Jon at the Wall and Dany all over Slaver’s Bay). No one manufactured them. No one told them they had to care about people. No one told them they had to do this lab experiment to become king/queen. They actually did their own thing, while themselves being disenfranchised (GRRM identifies both as outsiders). And without the expectation of a reward (like Jon is literally told that his entire life will basically amount to nothing).

And it’s even better that they were unlikely. Young Griff is meant to happen - well someone is pulling the strings to make sure he works. He’s taking the role of someone who was always meant to be king - for Rhaegar’s son was meant to be king. But Jon and Dany are actually following the Aegon V blueprint because they weren’t meant to happen. Jon is a second son who is presumably a bastard with a contentious claim, and Dany is a daughter who was never meant to survive being sold off to slavery let alone rise to queenship. Neither one of them was meant to be on the throne. No one told them to do the things they did. No one took them and placed them in the positions they’re in. They rose to the occasion by themselves and made changes by their own volition - just as it was with Aegon V. And what makes it even better is that just as Aegon V was chosen to be king, so were Jon and Dany (Jon was literally elected into office and basically won over the wildlings while Dany was dubbed “mhysa” because of her actions in Slaver’s Bay).

Love that Anne was like what if I took the boy consort of a Roman pederast whose primary skills are scheming and topping from the bottom and had him live up to the present to inflict his insanity and huge feelings on random hot gays throughout history

Like yes Anne say that tell me more

I am so mad at myself for letting Astarion ascend in my first playthrough because OH MY GOD. THIS POOR BABY. I WANT TO HUG HIM.

And then there was the conversation in camp afterwards, with the “This is a gift, you know. I won’t forget it” line. That hit me so much harder bc I’m currently doing a good playthrough, so my Tav has been nothing but kind and understanding to Astarion (even when he is being a little shit), so having that line repeat…oh my fuck. I imagine it would hit even harder if i was actually romancing him this playthrough.

I just. *inhales* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA /pos

> Dies

> comes back wrong

> Dies again

> Comes back RIGHT this time. Turns out comming back wrong was actually the much needed push for them to not only put there needs first and understand there own inherent worth but also to find what they really want in life and broaden there horizons.
