Ponyboy's the kinda guy to say "NO!! 😡" whenever Darry asks him to do smth (but directly after he always ends up doing it)

I feel like using the words “Alicent picked this for herself” are not necessarily correct. She never truly had a choice, even though her manipulation and grooming since a young age gave both her (and us) the illusion of choice. Does that mean she’s forgiven for what she put Rhaenyra through? No. I think she’s always known this would happen, that it would be inevitable, and that even if she truly tried to fight for Rhaenyra, that she would be fighting a war already lost. The women in HOTD were never going to win and they never are. At the end of the day both women (Alicent & Rhaenyra) are victims of misogyny, are victims of a fight that has been lost even before it has begun. I think Alicent has known this a lot longer than Rhaenyra, and has given up trying to fight and simply fell into what was expected and groomed into her. This doesn’t mean she had the right to inflict and project her own hopelessness in the face of misogyny onto Rhaenyra. They’re not children anymore, and whilst young Rhaenyra and young Alicent cannot be held at fault for the abuse and grooming they both faced, which led to the mutual end (though ultimately done by the hands of their fathers) of their friendship- Both of them are now adults and whilst a lot of choices are not really their own, unnecessary pain inflicted on one another that they are responsible for, will not heal the wounds of their youth.

She really put three 9-ton stone pillars around me to corner me and said “go in the dark”

Since I've started taking way more breaks from drawing, I don't know how to draw things that I wanna draw without thinking too much on the pose. What do you mean you don't want to draw your favorite character of the week in the same pose like the last 50 times. At that point I just don't end up drawing and I go nowhere

Man, it really does suck that we just kinda have to vote blue all the way down the ballot just to prevent the worst option. They tell you to research your candidates, but then sometimes the other parties’ options sound better than the democratic candidates, but you can’t vote for them because it’s impossible for them to win because nobody’s heard of them, so any vote that isn’t blue or red may as well not be a vote at all.
