Gonna be a hater for a moment.

It's so sad that people are so desperate for queer representation that they glommed onto the Blackwood/Bracken kids so hard and made them into something the exact opposite of what they were represented in the 2 minutes of screentime they had. And on the flip side, we have Fabien Frankel and Freddie Fox making tons of jokes about how Gwayne and Criston are hot for each other, and Criston was fucking the wrong Hightower, but that gets ignored by fans. I wonder why....

But it's also a reminder of what had been stripped from the show. So many queer characters from the book are just gone. We should have seen Alysanne Blackwood and Sabitha Frey by now. We should have had time in the North to explore Jace and Cregan Stark's relationship. But the writers got rid of all of that to push a relationship that means nothing in the long run and has been very detrimental to the storyline overall.

i was not joking when I said that for me the tragedy of Aeron and Davos is more convincing than the tragedy of rhaenicent in two seasons. in a minute of screen time, they made me get into their story (and they also have more personality than some minor characters). also they remained faithful to their houses and brought the matter to an end without delay. i can't help but respect that.

They were more interesting than the main characters really and they did give us Aeron and Davos!
