jj was the heart and soul of the pogues, from the literal beginning him and the maybank name were the standard for what it means to be a pogue at its core. if you go even further back he’s probably the one who banded the pogue friendship group together as it is. jj kept the dynamic alive and if u can’t see that then u don’t know this show well enough.

Some of the Greens are crazy. Oh Rhaenyra doesn't deserve the throne because she was a spoiled little girl that always hid behind daddy. She didn't 'earn' her position as heir. Like due, it is a medieval world and Aegon (the teenage drunk rapist) only is considered a king because he has a dick. Like even if Rhaenyra dutifully 'suffered', it still wouldn't affect her right to the throne one way or the other.

yeah, i mean i definitely have joked (i hope everyone realizes i'm joking, i do Not believe in the divine right of kings and generally i think most rich people should be [redacted]) about being ~deserving of power or whatever, but that's more in a narrative context (ie, Bran is on a Hero's Journey and He Will Earn His Ending Narratively, not that I actually believe he is divinely chosen - because he is but as we see in the cave in the true north, being divinely chosen isn't a good thing because the gods do not give a shit about you they want to eat you.

and definitely the most insane thing about hotd discourse (or one of the most insane things) is that people will really genuinely talk about rhaenyra not deserving the throne because she's ~spoiled~ and aegon has the right because he's the boy. and before someone argues "well actually we're saying-" no, i'm saying there are some crazy ass people who will genuinely sit there and argue with you that male primogeniture should be respected it is mind boggling.

but even beyond that, i find the "rhaenyra is spoiled she doesn't deserve it" thing to be a really disingenuous way of framing the whole conflict. first of all, No One Deserves To Be King Or Queen, nor, as you say, is something like that earned it's inherited. She doesn't need to earn it, she was chosen by her father and that's the end of the conversation because that's how shit like that works. and if you want to contrast that with the other people who are in the line of succession - whomst exactly "deserves" power? Aemond??? Daeron?????? "oh well Helaena" cool so you're saying women should in fact be included in the line of succession???? like, what a stupid way of framing this whole thing lmao, the only character who even marginally "deserves" power is like, jacaerys and rhaenys and corlys (and helaena) because when given power they don't immediately use it to brutally torment other people but when you say "jace would be a good ruler" people just focus in on the bastard thing and then I just kinda stop paying attention lajdsf. and beyond that, like, the heir isn't "hiding behind daddy" she is attempting to turn to her own damn father for help and that should be fine, actually??? to ask your goddamn dad who put you in this position to go "hey i need backup."

anyways yeah, every time someone is like "well the war is right rhaenyra doesn't deserve to be queen" neither did jaehaerys' bitch ass but he was the next oldest and got the throne because, ya know, deserve has very little to do with legal authority!

at this point one of ours cunting the ball against arse’s goalpost and it bouncing back all the way into our net is more realistic than us just scoring a goal

bye i just saw this video of a girl saying it’s okay that some wives don’t get a single gift for xmas and that she should just “speak up” if she wants a gift so bad…

Also also it is so obvious that tim stans went “oh tim came right after the dead kid of course Bruce would hate him” and tried to find evidence for it instead of reading through the shit and thinking for themselves I’m sick

I thought techno was only against people using his brand for profit? This goes to charity. I saw creator say she’s gonna ask technodad for permission which I think is good. Also a lot of other members are also excluded not just dream.

techno was always anti fanart of himself being sold even if you say for charity His merch that gets split between charity and his family is what his family still promotes... also it's the DREAM smp don't be fucking stupid schlatt made it in before the owner of the server? bffr💀

Of the 19 hijackers who carried out the Sept 11 attacks:

15 were from Saudi Arabia (a powerful/oil-rich country the U.S. works hard to maintain diplomatic relations with)

2 were from the United Arab Emirates (also a powerful/oil-rich country the U.S. works hard to maintain diplomatic relations with)

1 was from Egypt, 1 from Lebanon.

None of the hijackers were from Iraq.

None of the Sept 11 hijackers were Iraqi.

None of the 9/11 hijackers were from Iraq.

No but on that note the reason I’m so outspoken about fandom racism and internal bias is bc I know what it’s like and IK the time and work it takes to deconstruct it. Like I can talk about the tim favoritism the “besties” comments whenever it’s a black woman the casual disregard for nonwhite characters bc I know what the fuck I’m talking about.
