of course it’s an alicent profile pic saying this shit:

the thing is, i would’ve agreed with the original sentiment of this post if it wasn’t for the tags, but then this person goes mask off and proves to me that they were only pretending to offer meaningful criticism.

cause all i see in these tags is buzzword 🗣️🗣️ buzzword 🗣️🗣️ buzzword 🗣️🗣️

i just wanna know, why are the targaryens always singled out as the house that ‘regularly cannibalizes its own?’

these don’t exist ig: the she-wolves of winterfell, the current lannisters, and literally every House ever.

why are the targaryens held to such an unfair standard? and why are they held responsible for the sins of their ancestors?

it is literally so funny. but like… in an astonishing kind of way.

in these tags there’s no objective language used 🙅‍♀️ no care for nuance 🙅‍♀️ and no meaningful interaction with the main themes of the series 🙅‍♀️

OP kind of tries to pretend, but it’s all surface level shit. it’s clear that they’re blinded by their hatred of the targs and dany.

because george never holds things his characters can’t control against them. what a character should be judged by is their actions, and imo, that’s what george writes about: how individual characters actions and choices can shape the world around them (bonus if the character is a cripple, bastard, or broken thing and is trying to protect others); and he also puts a lot of emphasis on a characters intentions and how they come to their decisions, which gets us his famous ‘human heart in conflict with itself’ thesis statement.

george, someone who’s interested in the choices of the individual and how they get there, clearly thinks it’s important to showcase how different characters handle great power, otherwise he wouldn’t have so many POV characters in positions of such great importance.

on that note, asoiaf isn’t an anti-monarchy piece. you could easily claim that it’s a criticism of systematic oppression, systematic violence, corrupt institutions, and unbalanced social structures; it’s a sort of think piece on how people in positions of power destroy the lives of the common in their petty fights of greed and ambition, all whilst ignoring the incoming humanity ending threat.

and through this thought process, you get the title of the first book: a game of thrones. the political shifts are a game for these powerful people, and this motif is one of the most important statements to understand in order to interact with the series discussion on what it means to be a good ruler. this motif also comes up in a conversation jorah and dany have about the smallfolk: “It is no matter to them if the high lords play their game of thrones, so long as they are left in peace. They never are.” it’s high lords, not royals. it’s a critique of the whole social structure and political system, not a criticism of one family.

so, if you’re of this belief that petty power disputes are dumb and are angry that most high lords don’t give a shit about their subjects, then you should love daenerys, who’s one of the few characters who’s using her power to make lasting societal change.

now, is she perfect? no. no she’s not. cause she’s a teenage girl trying to take down a slave trade that’s been around for thousands of years (hilarious that she’s actually fixing the mistakes of her ancestors…). but dany is learning and is doing her best to get better and is trying to empower the powerless. that sets her apart from almost every other ruler in asoiaf and makes her one of the most important POVs in this book series quest to find out what makes a good ruler. something something gods make kings and queens to protect those who can’t protect themselves…

with that in mind, i agree that the conclusion of the series won’t be a character sitting on a throne because of their blood or because of some divine right mumbo jumbo. imo, a character will only sit on a throne if they’ve been smart, gained allies, formed alliances, have control of an army, have gained loyalty from the people they wish to rule, have been honorable, maybe have a dragon or three, and are a hero.

dany has checked off almost all the boxes, so i think it’s safe to root for her. and considering the foreshadowing, i think it’s logical to guess that peace will be ushered in, even if it’s a hard won peace. and what’s wrong with believing that daenerys will be one of the ones who helps usher in this peace after all the work she’s done to protect those who don’t have the power to protect themselves?

When she's not helping every living soul in a 20 mile radius, hunting monsters out in the wild, or exploring every nook and cranny of the world; Arsay is keeping the Magitek Repeater -gifted from her friends at the Ironworks and armed with non-lethal rounds- in good use on the frontlines.

(OLD OC SKETCHES) Meet Sunnabelle Von Sunnoviche, final daughter of the Sunnoviche family. Peeking from behind a window, she witnessed a wizards final spell, one that reduced the world to a wasteland. Her noble blood damned her to [HELL], but unwanting to suffer with her family, she made a deal with the devil. She now hunts in his name. The top of her head was taken by the blast on that day. The fires of her spirit have boiled her blood into a super-heated plasma.

Y'all..

cant even remember wht subgenre of acute mental illness i was living with at 18 which gave me the ability to write ashara the way i did but im so glad i went thru that shit bc a solasmancer who acts essentially as a microcosm of the present day world and reflects the exact problems solas hates so much about it but still somehow comes to love is. objectively insane. and here she is 7.5 years later and about 3x worse

aah using this opportunity to throw you cassandra + sun☀️ (if you’d like!! 💕)

oh you knew what you were doing asking me this ㅠㅠ i will gladly write sth for this (i could yap about her for hours)

𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐚 - 𝐒𝐮𝐧

To some, Cass’s love of the sun might be expected, something clear as day; of course she would, as a daughter of Apollo. But her lineage was never the sole reason why she liked it.

No, it reminded her of the mornings getting ready with her siblings, the afternoons of training with the other campers, the evenings where it would set over Long Island South and people would gather around the campfire. 

With her powers, sunlight was her constant companion, even in a world so far from home. It had always found its own way to envelop what was dear to her and now it wrapped around her like a familiar song. In quiet moments, when she closed her eyes and soaked in its warmth, she could almost hear the melody of life back home.

“Oi, herbivore, you’re late.” 

“That’s because, unlike someone I know, I attend classes.”

It was a great reassurance that, despite their differences, their worlds shared some similarities as well. Between the lush greenery of the botanical gardens, Cass could see the setting sun, tinting the world in that fleeting golden glow as the night approached fast. And yet she couldn’t help but relish in this fragile moment, hoping it would last just a little longer.

general masterlist

some more yapping about cassandra under the cut bc this is the first time i mention her on main (i will write a proper intro for her... one day)

cassandra is my twst yuusona and is, as you may or may not have figured out, a demi god from the percy jackson universe. so she's not twsited from someone, she just got yoinked from camp half-blood into nrc. due to her being a half-god, she's used to a lot of magical nonsense, which means very little in twisted wonderland actually fazes her.

as a daughter of apollo, the sun is naturally a big symbol for her and that's also true for the guy i'm shipping her with, leona. where cass is the sunrise, leona is the sunset and it's a great visualisation of their relationship; they're too similar and yet too different in some areas for them to hit it off on the right note, yet they can't deny there's something there did someone say enemies to lovers (there is one major dissonance between them that i will elaborate on in the future, i'm just keeping it surface-level here)

and bc they both have a sun motif, i'm naming the ship "golden hour" for now, which is why they're meeting during golden hour here

and if you're wondering what that last line is about... it may or may not be about everyone's favourite angst topic: returning to your world vs staying in twst... :3c
