i need ppl who are going to write fic from the pov of clearly, canonically, passionately green-aligned characters, to just commit. like tell me why someone's first paragraph in a fic, written from the perspective of aeron fucking bracken, is a whole bunch of 'the greens suck, rhaenyra is the true queen, and i totes didn't just involve myself in a massacre (in which i DIE) over my firm belief that the blacks are infant killers aha' :skull:

#me abt to sit down and start writing something for a ship that has a total of 3 minutes screen time out of sheer disappointment #cant we have nuance??? some nuance for the poor????#*bangs empty cup against prison bars*#hotd #its rly irritating because it just shows how little the writer understands the character and even the material that they're writing for #like dont get me wrong experiment in fic all you like and i'd never go into their comments and critique them for their narrative choices #but personally?? i cant even engage with fic that so obviously takes a meta 'side' in a series that is about how that kind of tribalism #benefits literally no one #anyway #.txt #hope this doesnt end up in the tag lmao #like i know the easiest solution for a lot of fic writers is just 'the dance didn't happen rhae ascended the end' but like.#that is so much different from having a character like aeron BRACKEN lament how awful the greens are #in his internal fucking monologue dude like cmon lmao #again theres nuance like hes clearly very young (so are all the guys involved in that scene btw)#but he's not just gonna have a complete change of heart abt the blacks 5 seconds after the massacre #hello #neither would davos in the reverse for that matter or any particular character involved in the dance
