#team black vs team green

GRRM really wrote a story where the main lesson is there are no winners in war, power corrupts and ultimately there are no good sides then y’all are out here missing them point and fighting over who’s got the moral high ground out of all these power hungry war criminals who sit in their castles as the smallfolk suffer because of their war and weapons of mass destruction.

When you're on team 'Girls Are Stupid And Shouldn't Rule' and none of the men will let you rule because you're a girl and they think you're stupid. lol

Alicent watching the man that came from her, in her, and on her feet, all deny her the right to rule. lol

It's hilarious watching Alicent be a total "Pick Me" only for her to then have nothing to show for it. lol

Why I Dislike the Idea of Team Green vs. Team Black 🖤💚

Am I the only one who thinks it's weird how rivalry-focused the House of the Dragon season 2 marketing is?

Disclaimer: I love the idea of putting out trailers for both sides, it's asking the viewers to choose that seems off.

Cause from my view, you just choose your favorite characters randomly. Maybe I like show!Rhaenyra and show! Alicent the same. We can do that. We can root for both. 🤫

Of course you're free to pick a side, it just seems unusual since Westeros isn't the type of world where you'd normally stand fully behind a character, because things can get very messy.

Also I hate when fandoms have beef with each other over things like that, especially when women are pitted against each other (like Sansa and Arya often were) and we talk less about other topics

Choosing a side is an interesting thing to think and talk about but it can make you forget a very cool aspect of fiction as entertainment: you can enjoy things from multiple sides. 😊

"Fuck that crown and fuck the Gods! I'm running away." Alicent says her eyes bear true Targaryen Madness as she rebukes the things that were once all she stood for, shocking Nyra with the bravery of her declaration. Then, her eyes soften like they always do upon seeing Her. "Come with me."

"Yes," Rhaenyra said, without thinking.

B-b-but Rhaenyra's siblings were always in danger and even if she didn't think she'd need to kill them she definitely would have because of all these historical figures who killed or imprisoned those they saw as a threat to their claim:

[Insert list of historical rulers who were not named heirs and who came into power during a power vacuum or crisis where there was either no clear line of succession or where they used force to supplant the line of succession. Also insert list of competing heirs who refused to renounce their claim.]

HOTD Fandom Behavior

This is going to be a little long winded but this has been on my mind for awhile.

Why does it seem like it's only team black that gets put in the hot seat for fan behavior? I understand that team black makes up the majority of the fandom, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't address the rampant misogyny that has been present in the team green fandom since day one that has gone unchecked. The show amplified the voices of misogynists who feel drawn to the story of the dance because they enjoy Rhaenyra's suffering and tragedy. Not to mention the other, actual fans, who still just hate her for whatever reason and can't do so without being misogynistic just helping normalize that kind of behavior.

And I'm not talking about "well I just like Aegon more than Rhaenyra", but the fixation on Rhaenyra's sex life and weight, the ai slop photos or wojaks where she's a misogynistic caricature, the fact that there is genuinely a huge portion of team green fans that cannot admit to their dislike of Rhaenyra without falling into misogyny. Those people are not outliers, and they've made themselves very comfortable in that part of the fandom. They feel no shame and sometimes even get viral posts.

"I'm not team black because the fans ruined it for me" but the team green fans calling Rhaenyra a fat ho or saying she deserves everything she gets for daring to have sexual agency didn't turn you off from being team green?

(HOTD is just getting worse but I intend to enjoy the fandom response to it at least...so has anyone done this one yet?)

It wasn’t perfect but the team fighting wasn’t nearly as bad
