#rather the slow decay of the figure of monarch& 'stability' preceding the dance

[octavianacidicbreastmilk]

likely thing to happen etcetc, but so many popular asoiaf&hotd bloggers have reached a point where their 'meaningful' and 'serious' commentary has to be wrapped in fifteen layers of purple prose that is also, at the same time, so icky.

theres this post about viserys&aegon&alicent that goes: and viserys put his ROT, his disgusting ILLNESS inside her, and aegon was born and that rot is slowly FESTERING.

and like, you can just say viserys raped alicent? actually, it would be better to just say that, instead of that weird conflation between leprosy and moral rot, and that weird imaginary fiction of the ontological poison dripping through to the children or whatever the fuck. aegon's faults as a person (dyanas rape etc) are because of he's a man benefitting from a violent patriarchal system and he's fine with that.
