I'm sorry this show will never make me care about Mysaria of all people. Mysaria? Who's greatest (book) contributions were procuring young maids for Daemon to deflower, organizing the murder of a six-year-old, having said six-year-old's sister, mother, and grandmother brutalized, (allegedly) suggesting Alicent and Helaena be sent to the brothels and be forced to have bastards, (allegedly) playing a role in Helaena's death, and convincing Rhaenyra to put a hit out on a sixteen-year-old black girl. That Mysaria?

but of course, hotd would have us think her ultimate goal is protecting vulnerable women and teaming up with Rhae to fight the patriarchy when her book counterpart gained all her power and influence by exploiting the weakest and most vulnerable women and young girls in King's Landing. something something women will take advantage of other women to carve out a scrap of power and safety in a patriarchal world but she's not on team green so of course she can't be bad.

Anyways... every time a king's landing character speaks of Mysaria positively know that there's a reason they called her "Lady Misery" in the books 🙃

If Rhaena claims sheepstealer I’m telling you know that the ratings and fandom is going to go downhill just like season 7 and 8 of Games of Thrones. Like I honestly don’t understand who thought that was a good idea like Rhaena has a dragon her name is morning

Morning definitely would fit in the show especially when you consider that they made Rhaena into this sad unfortunate girl who is rejected by her Valyrian supremacy-obsessed father since she doesn’t have a dragon.

She’s the last Targaryen dragonrider before Dany. Having her hatch a dragon(something even her father could not or did not do) is a million times more powerful than having her claim Sheepstealer.

If they wanted to give her something else to do(this is the absolute worst excuse I’ve seen for hijacking Nettles dragon; these people could care less about Rhaena) on top of her canonical story arc have it be something political in nature or write a Romeo and Juliet romance between her and one of the #teamgreen men(Gwayne, Daeron, or bring in my beloved Garmund).

I’d also like to point out that Rhaena is only getting a part of Nettles story(claiming Sheepstealer).

Other characters like Addam(a Black black haired dragonseed), Mysaria(the scar), and Ulf White(non-Valyrian dragonseed), whoever they have fucking Daemon at Maidenpool, and whoever Daemon is willing to risk his life and turn his back on his wife and queen to save (if they even keep that plot) are getting the other parts of her.

This is what makes this all the more hilarious when you consider how people keep saying Nettles is a character who can simply just be cut and replaced.

I can’t reiterate this enough, if Nettles was as irrelevant and unimportant as these people say she was they wouldn’t be trying to cipher off her story to multiple characters and hoping by some miracle that it will all come together.

This show is really just Ryan Condal’s love letter to the worst Targaryen queen fanfiction at this point. Anybody taking it seriously or saying that it trumps the actual book canon…

but what if Baela the lesbian 🤔

[shes-got-a-gold-tooth]

getting to the point of unironically listening to Netty's Girl is a trip

also to Some Dumb Cop Gave Me Two Tickets Already

in conclusion, I love a good, chaotic Mike D led Beasties joke track

Looking back on my childhood...some things become much funnier and also much sadder in hindsight.

@publicabsent said: the month of march is a strange one — but that’s beside the point. it’s leland’s birthday, & she’s made cherry-chocolate cupcakes, with purplish red cherry frosting. it’s a box of a dozen, with a small birthday card on the box. happy birthday, lee.

the timing is awkward — he's just walking out of his dorm as she's setting down the box next to the door. a beat, where she straightens, and he folds his arms;

❝ so... a baked goods hit and run, huh? ❞ he quirks a brow at her with playful accusation. corners of his eyes crinkle with his smile. his eyes fall to the box, and the little card — it does have his name on it. ❝ ... you really made these, for me? ❞ annette always seemed so busy, but she'd taken the time to bake him cupcakes for a day he'd almost forgotten, himself. he almost laughs; it was just like her to make a gift-giving gesture so unassumingly.

anyway — without really waiting for her answer, leland all but pulls her off her feet in a squeeze of a bear hug — lifting her from the floor momentarily in his enthusiasm. but he's gentle, as always, when he sets her down again. he sees he's jostled her glasses askew, and he mumbles a sheepish half-apology, as he fixes them on her nose for her.

❝ um. thank you, nettie. it means a lot. ❞ leland says, as he lets go. and he crouches down to scoop up the box, careful not to drop the little card fixed to it. ❝ — but seriously — ❞ he continues, ❝ you can't leave me unattended with all these cupcakes, nettie, c'mon. come hang out, if you want. jules and connie and everyone are gonna be here in a bit. we can watch bad movies or something, and then all sugar crash. ❞ he opens the door wider, and gives her his best sad-puppy-dog. ❝ please? ❞

Now on to something entirely too personal. HBO, please hire black women to do black hair. Like the Bailey sisters have been on this earth long enough for you not to hate crime Rhaena and Laenor. Baela and Laena suffer from the white mom with mixed daughters' agenda. Corlys has his buss down, side part, lace front but it sits that way because Steve, the actor, is bald. There isn't a clear part in sight for the richest house in Westeros. I don't understand why the Velaryons have ash-gray roots. With Addam, Alyn, and Nettles dawning on us soon please do better. Some thoughts for your labour ahead.

Utilize the Bailey sisters and their contributions to styled locs for Rhaena’s sake.

2. Cut Baela’s hair. For her sake focus on braids and beads.

3. Allow her to usher in a wave for the girls with her appearance. Nettles would gag them.

4. Our last girl. The Princess Dianna of Westeros. Lady Laena deserved better while with us. Walk with me.

5. In a bigger step towards the right direction and with the pride black people have when it comes to hair, why would we not style the men's locs. Corlys will guide us.

6. Laenor sweetie I'm so sorry for the helmet wig they gave you.

7/8. The Of Hull boys will bring us hope and prosperity. Marilda won't have them looking messy on the Hull shores.

All in all, I hope the stylists use their time off to hire black people. Entire stories could've been told with Laena, Rhaena, and Baela’s hair on the show, same with Corlys and Laenor but instead, we went with inspired choices that fell flat with the execution. Locs are some of the most versatile styles and curls are stunning. Hair, especially textured hair care and styling is a labor of love and I hope it's shown in upcoming seasons.

By any name, she was black-haired, brown-eyed, brown-skinned, skinny, foul-mouthed, fearless...
