What are your tought's on the whole : "Rhaenyra and Daemon had an open marriage so he didn't REALLY cheat on her with Mysaria" thing? Because to me it smells like a bullshit excuse to salvage this ship already shaky relationship status

Hi anon! Sorry for being so late in answering this! So, before I get into my answer, just to be clear, I don't have a problem with people headcanoning Daemon and Rhaenyra as having an open relationship, or depicting the relationship this way in fanfic. Fics and headcanons exist for a reason. I assume you're talking about people who use these arguments when discussing the book and/or show canon, or insist this interpretation is the only correct interpretation. In which case, I agree that's mostly an attempt to smooth away the rough edges of those relationships.

First, I think it's important to recognize that the very concept of "open marriage," as we understand it, that is, a mutually consensual agreement to be non-monogamous, with clearly negotiated terms and boundaries, is very modern. I think applying the term "open marriage" to Daemon and Rhaenyra softens what is going on with them a way that is meant to make criticism of the relationship seem socially regressive. I could say similar things about how the relationship between Laenor, Rhaenyra, and Harwin is often characterized by fans as being a completely happy consensual "family of choice" dynamic in which Laenor is usually depicted not as depressed and checked out, as he's shown to be in both the book and the show, but as an eager and involved father who has entered into a sort of surrogate father arrangement with Harwin and Rhaenyra, or the supposed happy "dragonstone polycule" that fans insist existed between Laena/Daemon and Rhaenyra/Harwin/Laenor. It's fine if fans want to imagine happier versions of these relationships-- fans do this all the time, especially in fic or in art, I do it myself-- but do I think that's what's on the page, textually or even subtextually? No.

That said, I don't think Daemon's off and on again relationship with Mysaria was a big issue for Rhaenyra, not because they had an "open relationship," per se, but because Rhaenyra did not perceive Mysaria as a threat to her marriage. Rhaenyra clearly did have a problem with Daemon's relationship with Nettles, for instance, which suggests to me that the relationship was not an open relationship or a polyamorous relationship. Rather, it's more likely that Rhaenyra was like most other Westerosi noblewomen in that she tolerated her husband visiting brothels and prostitutes as this was considered, at the time, a socially acceptable way for a husband to step outside the marriage. While Mysaria was Daemon's long standing paramour, and I think there was likely some sort of emotional attachment there, if Daemon was going to cast aside Rhaenyra in favor of Mysaria he would have done that long ago. Mysaria was not only an aging prostitute, she was a known entity, someone Rhaenyra was aware of before she ever married Daemon. Not only that, but there was clearly some sort of trust (and perhaps more?) between Rhaenyra and Mysaria, as Mysaria was the one who apparently convinced Rhaenyra to send her final letter to Daemon demanding he turn over Nettles. I think it's fair to say that Rhaenyra knew Daemon's tastes and despite her (rather racist) protests that Daemon would never lie with someone like Nettles and that it had to be sorcery, Nettles was a young dragonrider, bold and daring, just the sort of person Daemon has been attracted to in the past.

So I suppose the short answer is no, it's not an open marriage in any meaningful sense. Even in a hypothetical situation in which a couple had a sort of "you do your thing I'll do mine," type agreement, medieval marriage was such an coercive institution as a whole, dynastic royal marriage particularly so, that I don't think there's much utility, in terms of analysis, in viewing it through that lens.

You know. Something I really hate about a lot of popular fantasy books, and it's especially prevalent in Romantasy, is what passes for Feminism in them. It's a toothless fake, used as an aesthetic/seasoning. A sprinkle of *strong female character* and a dash of deceptively misogynistic everything else, and for the finishing touch a pinch of man who's slightly better than being openly sexist and Boom. Fantasy series led by a FMC.

Generally, the Female Main character either starts out or becomes incredibly powerful, but always, always, always her power is linked to the men around her. She supposedly has agency and makes her own choices but the choices she makes are between choices provided to her by men. Her male love interest is more powerful in SOME way, and ends up besting her in some way. Experience, training, power, there's always some way the man is better than her. Female characters are never allowed to just BE powerful. Or even just BE single. Often they give up their powers, or are forcibly stripped of them. They look down on other female characters for doing "feminine" work. And, they're stupid as hell to supposedly make them relatable or endearing. Often, the male mc is concerningly abusive but it's portrayed as dreamy, romantic and Ideal. (I genuinely get the love for villains, and enemies to not, and the love for morally grey characters, I genuinely do, but this isn't that, what happens in these books is just genuinely bad (if they actually were people) being portrayed through rose colored glasses) [And in some stories that could be genuinely interesting!] If there's a second Love Interest, he will just do the same awful shit to the MC but it's better now bc it's him.

If the female character isn't white, all of this + a staggering amount of racism. They're rarely MCs. They're fridged for the MCs, they serve the MCs, they're never as beautiful or powerful as the MC, they're stereotyped and portrayed as savage, vapid, comically evil, or just as a good guy with no character at all.

These books are presented as feminist and it pisses me off. Feminism is equality for all, and the fight for Women to be equal and have their own agency. To make their own decisions. Genuinely I believe writers should be able to write whatever they want. I have no issues with having "problematic" stuff in books. My issue is when people start to believe that this shit is feminist, and the author is so skilled and amazing, and it's a masterpiece! Fuck that.

I'm so sick of finding pornographic content in the trans tags. I understand that most of them are porn bots, but I wish the ones that aren't would just tag their stuff properly.

I just want to be able to comfortably scroll through memes and comfort content in these tags without getting immediately flashbanged :/

it's my neo-noir and i get to paint the cover

i'll be making a masterpost when dead woman walking is out, so i figured it'd be cute to make a themed cover for both. this'll be for the first one and i'll fill in all the text later on when it's all ready to go

speedpaint as always. i did this all in one sitting because i'm quite sick at the moment and needed the distraction. i would not recommend doing this. actually, i'd advise against it

While everyone is crying about the trailer and whatnot. u/Psychological-Bed543 found a nice detail regarding Cheese' fate:

A passage to the black cells had been found, and a stone well that seemed to have no bottom. They had found a chamber full of skulls and yellowed bones, and four sacks of tarnished silver coins from the reign of the first King Viserys. They had found a thousand rats as well... but neither Tyrion nor Varys had been amongst them,
