Since I'm thinking constantly about ASoIaF (the main story) for a while now I have to say it's really exausting to be an Arya stan.
The community is great, yes. There is a lot of good people
But the thing is
You enter tumblr
You search her tag
And instead of pretty gifsets
Well written metas
And pretty fanarts
What you see the most is people (we know who) mischaracterizing her, attacking her stans, twisting the narrative of the books about something important that involves Arya into something that doesn't even make sense only to downplay her importance, denying the part she plays on the key 5, not to mention how fixed these people are with her appearance.
I don't know how the stans and content creators are dealing with anon hate nowadays because I have been off for a really long time, (and I will continue to be, tbh), but I remember they were terrible, (anons actually saying Lyanna deserved to be raped to other anons wishing op to slit their wrists and kill themselves)
It's tiring.
And it has been the same for like... years now.

so are condal & co making the unironic claim that Targaryens have the divine right of kings cause Aeg I had an ice zombie nightmare 100 years ago...
god forbid a woman go to war because she wants power i guess
#the way they're trying to enshrine the position of monarch and Rhaenyra's claim as having a higher purpose that absolves them of any#wrongdoing for the violence to come is... concerning#and very antithetical to EVERYTHING asoiaf stands for#like not even Viserys/Dany ever tried to justify their quest for the IT with this self-important bs#hotd critical#anti team black#anti targaryen

Y'ALL CAN EXCUSE RACISM?
Let's get one thing straight: I have no part in this chaotic mess (infact, I have blocked all the accounts mentioned below), but it's grinding my gears how it's devolving into another petty fanfic drama: case 607. I know this drama is getting the attention for certain individuals who are demonstrating mean girl behaviour and gossiping about other writers behind their backs. However, I am solely focused on addressing the racist and discriminatory remarks made by these individuals in the leaked text messages.
For those not in the loop, there's been a huge drama in the fanfic community involving leaked text messages from a group chat of four prominent members. In these messages, two users - Fae and Bel - have admitted to sending hate anons and talking smack about other writers behind their backs. Two other members left the group after it was revealed that B tried to make amends with someone who these two, Em and Ange, don't particularly care for. As a move to clear their names, Em exposed all the texts, trying to prove that Fae and Bel are the real villains here.
But wait, there's more! In these same chats, Bel not only mocked fellow non-English speakers but also bragged about sending rat emojis to an 18-year-old Pakistani writer who was already receiving racist anons. While everyone is focused on getting back at these two women for being shady af, it's mind-boggling how Em and Ange are suddenly jumping on the anti-racism train.
These two ladies stayed in the same chat as a fellow Pakistani writer was driven away because of racism, knowing full well that one of their own was contributing to it, and said NOTHING! Zero discouragement, no condemnation - they only hopped off when things got personal.
So here it is… I've had it with all of you hypocrites. You praise and encourage these women at every turn, feeding their egos like they're the second coming of Beyonce. But let's not forget who's always stirring up drama in this fandom - hint: it's these same people with a sense of entitlement the size of a planet. The issue is groupthink and y'all have all jumped on the bandwagon. You're worse than HBO's marketing department because just like their shitty teams, everyone involved here SUCKS ASS. You don't have to pick a side because they are all petty, mean losers. Bel and Fae are facing the consequences of their actions, which they rightfully deserve.
However, Em's exposé on Bel's racism seems more like an opportunistic move and it's disappointing that so many of you are supporting it. It's a predictable cycle now; there will be a half-hearted apology, an announcement of a hiatus, and then tons of people will flock to their inboxes to shower them with praise and excuses. It's ridiculous! I know there are many who feel the same way as me but are afraid to speak up because they don't want to upset the "village elders" and risk losing their connections and engagements. It's a joke atp!
Instead of taking responsibility for their own wrongdoings, they will come up with a list of 10 different cyber crimes by others to divert attention from their own nonsense. These very same women have confessed to creating multiple fake accounts, secretly stalking servers without mods noticing, and constantly harassing individuals through anon messages.
Yet, we are supposed to consider them as examples of moral integrity and ethical behavior? 😒

btw what theon went through is what thousands upon thousands upon thousands of slaves still go through in essos. so, do you still feel pity for the slavers that were crucified? do you still pity the slavers killed when daenerys freed the unsullied?
i ask these questions, and yet i know that there are still many people who believe that the violence against the slavers wasn’t justified, or believe that it was simply “too much” or “not fair.” truly… what an insane hill to die on.
maybe these people should spare more empathy for the formerly enslaved instead of wasting time making up excuses (that are not supported by the text) for why the slave masters' deaths were somehow not justified 🫶
#you guys will not believe how many people try to argue in favor of the slave masters#and the other side almost always ends up saying something along the lines of:#‘what if the slavers were just secretly good and were trying to end slavery? dany never gave them a fair trial 😡’#like w h a t tf#it’s always annoying when people make up bs excuses to hate on dany by MAKING UP things that are NOT in the text !!#honestly how am i supposed to argue against what ifs#actually i can do it too: what if all the slavers were actually all psychopaths who enjoyed brutally destroying other human beings?#my ‘what if’ at least has some textual support#i honestly do not know why these people are reading the books if they just wish to change one of the most important characters storyline#asoiaf fandom critical#daenerys targaryen#daenerys appreciation#pro daenerys#anti sansa stans#cause it’s always them at the scene of the crime 😭#poor sansa you’d hate ur stans they’re nasty manipulative liars (not all just to be clear)#formally enslaved includes dany btw#i honestly think that there is something wrong with people who make excuses for fictional slave masters

Babes, I need to tell you something...
If you're one of the 'DaNy StAnS' who believe that Dany has to die to fulfill some bittersweet/tragic ending while also wanting the other characters especially the Starks to live happy health lives and become kings and queens you're not a real Dany stan.
You're just a Daenerys anti. The only difference between you and the antis is that the antis are more honest about how they actually feel about her.
#Anti asoiaf fandom#Daenerys targaryen#I've never seen any actual Dany stan talk about how she needs to die and sacrifice herself#Like just admit you want her out the way so you're actual faves can get the ending you want for them#Dont do the fake stan bs#pro daenerys#Sorry but mother isn't going anywhere#She's going to live and be happy

I saw someone repeat for the umpteenth time that Arya's endgame is being consumed by revenge and dying alone in the snow with Needle locked between her frozen fingers. BUT the thing that left me perplexed is seeing her list defined as "ever growing"...
People, do you know how long it's been since Arya's list grown with a new name? Literally it doesn't happen since book 2!!

Targ stans who go on and on about "The blood of Old Valyria" and "filthy Andal blood and traditions" always manage to baffle me when they start talking about religion in Westeros.
Like, High Valyrians with their Valyrian Gods partaked in human sacrifice, human experiments, unimaginable types of torture, slavery, eugenics, all types of familial incest and were basically fantasy nazis in their society built upon the enslavement and forced hard labor of the races they saw as "lesser" but clearly, the evilest religion is the one where people pray to the humanoid aspects of their God and read their bejeweled little book.

There is something on TikTok that made me pisssed. AGAIN.
And guess about what. Arya looks. Of course. It had to be about her looks. Since you cant make her look bad on lore, let's take something as superficial in how she looks like.
Basically, the person was talking about the appearence of the characters book vs show.
And while OP pointed the differences AGoT to Dance on how they look, how they got prettier with time, or if they suffered an incident, etc, I was really expecting/hoping that with Arya this person would point book 3 to 5 differences of how she is treated regarding her appearence. But nooooo.
She kept the description of book 1. Only with Arya.
Dirty, many times mistook as a boy.
S@nsa's friend (and S@nsa, she didnt want to say it) would call her horseface
I don't understand, what is the fucking reason for this... fr. Why the criteria to define if Arya is pretty or not comes from the fucking first book, why her "sister's friend" is such a reliable opinion(a person who bullied Arya) . Tiring. Asoiaf fandom on TikTok is tiring as hell. On Tumblr too.
But for goddamm sake. I'm sick of it.
#“Oh. But Arya is a kid. She doesnt have to be described as beautiful and pretty”#what is fair#but#GUESS WHO ELSE IS ALSO A FUCKING CHILD AND MANY MANY TIMES IS DESCRIBED AS BEAUTIFUL AND PRETTY???#Yes! S@nsa! She started the series with 11 the same age of Arya on Dance#and since the very beginning people would always point out S@nsa's looks as something to cheer and adimire#the funny thing? I havent seen one single soul complaining about it or talking that calling a 11yrls old ginger girl 'pretty' is problemati#but with Arya???#ha#“It's creepy”#hypocrisy! that is what it is!#asoiaf bs#probably going to delete later#im so pissed its not even funny#arya stark

Very funny to me how Stansas present her character as being so interesting and complex because of her vulnerabilities, while simultaneously ignoring those same vulnerabilities in other characters. Dany is sold as a bridal slave and lacks agency throughout AGOT and after. Her dragons are either too young/small to utilize effectively or locked away for the majority of the story. They aren't some all-powerful trump card that protects her from harm. Arya is captured as a prisoner of war, forced to watch countless people tortured and murdered, and then essentially enslaved in Harrenhal with no way to fight back. She has an entire arc of feeling powerless, of being a "mouse", during ACOK. She doesn't have "kung-fu" or the ability to magically fight her way out of every situation, she's a young child lacking physical strength with only the most basic sword training.
Sansa isn't the only female character, she isn't the only young character, she isn't the only character who suffered, and no one is obligated to prioritize her. I'm so tired of Dany and Arya being mischaracterized and having their stories erased to prop Sansa up. "Sansa has kept her dignity" In other words, let's praise her for having a level of security that Dany and Arya don't have access to. She hasn't ever been forced to make a hard decision which of course means that she's morally superior to them. They can't even admit to themselves that her lack of action is due to her own passivity. If it doesn't fit their delusion, they erase it from the story and expect the rest of us to play along. Ask one of them what they like about her character without bringing up her being the ultimate victim, and I genuinely don't believe they'd be able to give you an answer. They belittle other characters more than they talk about her and these takes just scream insecurity/jealousy at the content and development other characters have in their POVs.

If Alicent had slept with Viserys the night of Aemma’s funeral like Rhaenyra and Daemon did the night of Laena’s funeral you all would be calling her so much worse than Alicunt and going on and on about how awful and gross and evil she is even more than you already do. But when Rhaenyra does it she’s a girl boss and you’re cheering her on bc somehow that makes her a feminist…..🤡
#alicent hightower#rhaenyra targeryan#viserys ii targaryen#daemon targaryen#laena velaryon#aemma targaryen#this isn’t anti-rhaenyra btw just anti-fandom#I like Nyra as a character but her stand are so annoying (not that Alicents aren’t tho)#like you don’t have to love alicent but you can’t be a hypocrite#also the fact people see this as a girl boss moment and not all of Desmond grooming finally coming to a head here#it’s not romantic it’s sad bc he cares about the throne not her#anti hotd fandom#hotd fandom bs#asoiaf fandom bs#anti team back stans#just to be safe#Alicent also isn’t a feminist girl boss by any means don’t get me wrong but neither is Rhaenyra

Imagine genuinely going: "only MY favorite character is allowed to like flowers and be seen with flower imagery. her sister being drawn with flowers is STEALING!!1!1!" Like that's a real point of contention for you. wtf is going on with #that side of the fandom.
Yes, Arya does indeed like flowers. Sansa also likes flowers. Most people like flowers in some capacity. It's not some super-special hyper-individualist personality trait, lmao.
(In my opinion, Arya cataloging the different species of flower she sees on the Kingsroad & being willing to get dirty picking flowers for Eddard is mostly about her inherent connection to & comfort within nature. Arya paid attention to the flowers, yes, but she also paid attention to the animals & the trees & the mud. She’s the Maiden of the Tree. But Arya's connections to these other parts of nature are rarely emphasized the way her connection to flowers is, because they can't be used to over-state her femininity. It's extremely obvious that's what's happening here & I hate hate hate it.)
#I've said it before & I'll say it again: there's this subgroup of arya fans who are simply obsessed with proving how#super-duper girly & hot & motherly & actually traditionally feminine arya is (& she's secretly WAY more feminine than mean ol' sansa !1!!)#and I will forever question what (if anything) they even like about arya beyond the ugly-duckling-to-beautiful-swan facet of her story.#because that's all they ever seem to care about in the end.#anti arya stans#anti arya#I love arya but I'm tagging it like this just so no one can whine about there being 'hate' in the arya tag lol#asoiaf#a song of ice and fire#fandom bs

George R R Martin has failed to establish any female warriors in/from Dorne (it should be noted that Nymeria of Ny Sar was a leader/general, not a soldier) apart from the Sand Snakes (whose Dad is actual royalty) so *IF* he wants to make Dorne this actual feminist safe haven with women warriors and stuff he’s got to a) explain why Brienne didn’t have dreams of going to Dorne where she’d be accepted and b) make Allyria Dayne the Sword of the Morning c) give Myriah Martell a female personal bodyguard, a la Jonquil Darke, who tags along from Dorne and at some point beats Daemon Blackfyre/Aegor River’s ass in this essay I will
#*enters staring contest with george*#asoiaf#valyrianscrolls#dorne#allyria dayne#brienne of tarth#I mean actually I don’t think he WAS planning on doing any of that this is more aimed at fandom.#but the myriah bodyguard thing could be SO good. george are you listening#actually since daemon is the same age as baelor#this could be a friend of baelor’s or like the daughter of one of myriah’s Dornish ladies in waiting#and the kids get in a scrap in a PERFECT ECHO of the strong v targtower boys knife fight. only w a Dornish girl here too#(baelor bs. not baelor i. in case that wasn’t clear)
