GAME OF THRONES SPOILERS

TW for brief mentions of violence

I’m one of those people who prides myself on being a good judge of what will come next in TV shows and movies. Idk why but I’m good at it and it’s fun. Anyway, I love Game of Thrones and it pleasantly surprised me with shocking moments I didn’t expect. Even though these moments may have been obvious to some, to me they weren’t totally predictable. Here’s some of my top “holy crap I did not see that coming” moments from game of thrones: (apologies for any misspellings)

- When Jeoffrey had the 2 women hurt each other while he watched. I knew he was truly evil but I admit I didn’t expect him to get any pleasure out of that sort of thing. Seemed like mind games and straight up murder was more his game before that moment.

- Tommen’s suicide…JAW DROPPING moment even though it was set up quite well looking back. I knew he’d probably die but I thought it would go differently. I felt a lot of sympathy for his character because he was so manipulated and used.

- Margery’s death…Cersei was incredibly clever and cruel to pull off the explosion of the sept. That moment had me so shocked, but it was a totally sensible move by Cersei. (Obviously I wasn’t shocked in the scenes directly beforehand showing the explosion about to happen.) But it was such an extreme act of revenge, it just had my jaw on the floor. It wasn’t out of character or anything it was just very bold.

- Finally, the last shocking moment for me, was Bran getting named king of the seven kingdoms. It wasn’t a dramatic scene or anything like the rest that surprised me, but it was shock/disappointment. I hated that moment because so many other characters would’ve made more sense and deserved the role more. I really would’ve preferred ANYONE to him. I kinda thought Tyrion might end up king, with his background being hated by his own family and his characterization being nothing like the rest of the Lannister’s. I also thought Sansa would make a good choice. But neither of those happened, unfortunately.

This is all I've been thinking about for the past few days

[inkskinned]

i. about 2 weeks ago, i was told there's a good chance that in 5 or so years, i'll need a wheelchair.

ii. okay. i loved harry potter as a kid. i have a hypothesis about this to be honest - why people still kind of like it. it's that she got very lucky. she managed to make a cross-generational hit. it was something shared for both parents and kids. it was right at the start of a huge cultural shift from pre to post-internet. i genuinely think many people were just seeking community; not her writing. it was a nice shorthand to create connection. which is a long way of saying - she didn't build this legacy, we built it for her. she got lucky, just once. that's all.

iii. to be real with you, i still struggle with identifying as someone with a disability, which is wild, especially given the ways my life has changed. i always come up against internalized ableism and shame - convinced even right now that i'm faking it for attention. i passed out in a grocery store recently. i hit my head on the shelves while i went down.

iv. he raises his eyebrows while he sends me a look. her most recent new book has POTS featured in it. okay, i say. i already don't like where this is going. we both take another bite of ramen. it is a trait of the villain, he says. we both roll our eyes about it.

v. so one of the things about being nonbinary but previously super into harry potter is that i super hate jk rowling. but it is also not good for my mental health to regret any form of joy i engaged with as a kid. i can't punish my young self for being so into the books - it was a passion, and it was how i made most of my friends. everyone knew about it. i felt like everyone had my same joy, my same fixation. as a "weird kid", this sense of belonging resonated with me so loudly that i would have done anything to protect it.

vi. as a present, my parents once took me out of school to go see the second movie. it is an incredibly precious memory: my mom straight-up lying about a dentist appointment. us snickering and sneaking into the weekday matinee. within seven years of this experience, the internet would be a necessity to get my homework finished. the world had permanently changed. harry potter was a relic, a way any of us could hold onto something of the analog.

vii. by sheer luck, the year that i started figuring out the whole gender fluid thing was also the first year people started to point out that she might have some internalized biases. i remember tumblr before that; how often her name was treated as godhood. how harry potter was kind of a word synonymous for "nerdy but cool." i would walk out of that year tasting he/him and they/them; she would walk out snarling and snapping about it.

viii. when i teach older kids creative writing, i usually tell them - so, she did change the face of young adult fiction, there's no denying that. she had a lot more opportunities than many of us will - there were more publishing houses, less push for "virally" popular content creators. but beyond reading another book, we need to write more books. we need to uplift the voices of those who remain unrepresented. we need to push for an exposure to the bigotry baked into the publishing system. and i promise you: you can write better than she ever did. nothing she did was what was magical - it was the way that the community responded to it.

ix. i get home from ramen. three other people have screenshotted the POTS thing and sent it to me. can you fucking believe we're still hearing this shit from her when it's almost twenty-fucking-twenty-three. the villain is notably also popular on tumblr. i just think that's funny. this woman is a billionaire and she's mad that she can't control the opinions of some people on a dying blue site that makes no money. lady, and i mean this - get a fucking life.

x. i am sorry to the kid i was. maybe the kid you were too. none of us deserved to see something like this ruined. that thing used to be precious to me. and now - all those good times; measured into dust.

Thinking about Aegon being absolutely whipped for his wife...

warnings: yandere content, aegon ig, idk he's horrible but not here lol, sexual content, babytrapping, I have baby fever again, ppl who write him as a top blow my mind bc what part of this man screams dom to you lmao 🤣

(Name), his precious wife, is the absolute center of Aegon's world. To be fair, there isn't much else going on with him, but it's the thought that counts.

She's the oldest child and only daughter of his half-sister, so many would imagine that their marriage is somewhat toxic, which is true, just not in the way most people think. Aegon is so dependent on the affection from his wife that he hardly has time for anything else. She's his savior in many ways, and Aegon's terrified of losing her.

Just thinking about how Rhaenyra would want to annul their marriage because she doesn't believe that Aegon is good enough for her baby girl! Aegon hears this from his brother and cries the entire night.

He would be absolutely lost without his dear wife and knows that his life would mean nothing without her.

Then he comes up with an ingenious plan.

He'll pump her full of his babies so the marriage can't be annulled!

Aegon uses that pathetic puppy look every night to convince his lovely wife to fuck him. He's on his back each evening as she rides him as though he were her dragon, and Aegon absolutely loves it.

He's such a whore for her, too. Aegon always puts on a performance for his wife, and he's incredibly insatiable.

And once she starts to swell in her midsection, Aegon can't help but feel relieved. The next time his sister returns to Kings Landing, she finds her daughter heavily pregnant.

Aegon couldn't be more smug.

idk guys, he looks like he'd call me mommy and let me peg him 🤧

a little WIP of Daenerys Targaryen in A Game of Thrones

[fyeaheddiemunson]

[tennessoui]

this has been done i know this has been done im sure this has been done but currently obsessed with the brainworm of captain of the king's guard obi-wan kenobi and prince anakin in some fantasy medieval star wars setting of some sort where it's just game of thrones-y enough that when the royal family is overthrown, it's violent and bloody and obi-wan knows that anakin will absolutely be killed in the revolution so he takes him and he runs back to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant that he left years and years ago, when he was just a boy himself.

and anakin is absolutely furious for multiple reasons--mostly he thinks they should have stayed and fought! that they fled like cowards from his homeland is a shame that he can hardly bear. so he's angry at obi-wan for basically kidnapping him and forcing him away from his kingdom when she needed him, and he's angry at the jedi order for accepting them into their ranks but only if they agree to pretend to be Jedi while they're at the Temple. and he's angry at the jedi council because obi-wan had to beg to be given aid and his proud captain of the guards should never have to beg for anything, and yet here he is, begging for help for anakin's sake!

anakin is probably like. nine, obi-wan is twenty-five, and they stay at the temple basically incognito for ten years with anakin 'training to be a padawan' (because he's so strong in the Force that obi-wan points out that it may be a good idea to give him all the lessons in anger management and force control even though he isn't really a padawan in case any of the material sinks in) and obi-wan as a worker in the temple hangar bay.

then the clone wars break out and obi-wan instinctively wants to join the fight with the jedi because he owes them a great debt. not only did they raise him until he was fifteen, but they took him in---took anakin in when they needed them

but anakin has never had any loyalty to the jedi. he is loyal to his planet, which he will return to one day. and he is loyal to his family and to obi-wan, for saving him. but obi-wan should be loyal to him and him alone. only to the crown. only to anakin.

what im getting at is like. a scene where nineteen year old anakin demands obi-wan swear fealty to him as the king of his planet on the eve of the clone wars because he needs obi-wan to know that he's his. his captain. his guard. kneeling and ring kissing is involved.

obi-wan swearing fealty and then probably fucking anakin and then probably leaving during the night to fight in the clone wars without waking anakin is also involved.

jaime and sansa had always been the sort of golden child of their family but never felt the pressure of expection because they lived up to what everyone thought of them but then something happens that makes them second guess themselves and if they ever really deserved such praise.

sansa was the exemplary daughter polite and gentle but then she goes to kingslanding and didn’t feel like a princess in one of those stories she felt like a stupid little girl to blind to see the monsters in front of her face.

jaime was a golden lion the perfect heir but then he becomes a kingsguard and all those stories of chivalry he filled his head with turned to ash. it was one big lie and he was one of the great defenders of said lie.

I mean... if an undead zombie is coming to attack me and a sword happens to be at my feet, I am picking it up. If I am planning a war and there are a bunch of swords on the table... I'm picking one up. If I'm in an active war and I already ride a fucking dragon, I might also think, "Hey, why not have this crossbow as well because you know... there is literally a WAR happening." If someone cuts out my kid's eye and my husband has a dagger hanging from his belt, I'm grabbing that dagger and demanding revenge. If I'm in a crypt full of wights and my sister gave me a dragonglass dagger, even if I haven't been trained to use it, I am going to TRY. Like you don't have to be trained in the "masculine arts of warfare" to defend yourself or seek revenge or just like want to pick up a sword if they are literally right there. Granted many long swords are heavy as fuck, I get it. And yeah you need training to learn to wield weapons safely and responsibly. But like ANYONE would pick up a weapon and try to defend themselves if threatened. They wouldn't think, "Wait. Will this make me look too much like a girlboss? Or worse- A Mary SUE????"
