girl help asoiaf tiktok just found out rhaenyra was fat in the books. discourse falling somewhere between ‘well as a big girl there’s nothing wrong with that! and daemon didn’t have any complaints ;)’ ‘it’s green propaganda and classic hypocrisy! aegon was also fat’ and ‘in medieval times people would have found fat rhaenyra more beautiful than thin alicent! ahistorical fatphobia’. do you think during a war that caused famine and horrific levels of suffering among the peasantry both the royal figureheads being fat is apolitical. do you think it was still admirable when the people were starving. ‘i can’t believe the french revolution fatshamed aristocrats’ level of thinking

#grrm uses the body as a political entity quite a lot it’s interesting #related alicent being thin as relates to the anemic self-denying the real life is in the afterlife catholic martyr #luther railed against. many such cases coldness unrelatability inhumanity of faith etc #anyway go read martin luther’s body: the stout doctor and his biographers 🫵#asoiaf #a song of ice and fire #rhaenyra targaryen #aegon ii #house of the dragon #hotd
