#this is in order of how i watched it btw

i'm sorry but hotd positing that all women are innately cautious and peaceful and compassionate while men are rash warmongers is not a feminist win! i could see the value in everyone being hesitant to go to war at the onset of the story because it intensifies the tragedy of this house tearing itself apart, but at this stage, rhaenyra has as much reason for bloodlust (if not more) as the men on the show. it's pretty heavily implied that the shock of her usurpation killed her daughter, aemond killed lucerys, and one of aegon's kingsguard snuck into her quarters with the intent to assassinate her. most importantly, she has felt entitled to the throne since she was named heir as a child. she should be incensed! rhaenyra's inaction in the season 1 finale due to a sudden aversion to violence was already stretching believability -- this is the same woman who expressed nothing beyond mild shock at vaemond's beheading, who plotted with daemon to have an innocent man killed to facilitate laenor's escape while declaring that the realm should fear her. to have rhaenyra insist on peace at this point in the story, when war is already well underway, is incredibly irrational.

this problem is not limited to rhaenyra. alicent ordered larys to kill mysaria's network of spies and any suspected traitors in the red keep, presumably without any due process, and neither of these decisions was depicted with the gravity they deserved for a character who was once horrified by any bloodshed. meanwhile, aegon had a few extra ratcatchers executed, and not only was the direction sufficiently ominous, but we also got a lengthy monologue from otto about how it would spell his doom. it is probably pointless to bring up rhaenys because she is written less like a believable human being and more like a mouthpiece for the writers to assert whatever political opinion they believe is correct in a given episode -- but she did very much kill dozens if not hundreds of smallfolk last season. she did do that and very clearly did not care. why is she an advocate against war? for both alicent and rhaenys, there is a strange dissonance where their actions are at odds with their attitudes about opposing large-scale war for the good of the realm. i'm not saying this dissonance cannot exist, but it should at least be acknowledged.

helaena raising concerns about the losses suffered by the smallfolk might have worked in isolation, but for it to accompany everything above is exhausting. can none of these women be allowed to feel for themselves?

lmao remember when i said he's just a Guy to me

it wasn't technically a lie, i think being granted godhood would alter his appearance so he's... well he's still a Guy with additional stuff going on

champion and god boots morph to fit the person wearing them, so for acg it was weird mugs and evbo gets sneakers with his name on the soles because i think he'd enjoy jumping down onto a grass block and then seeing his name imprinted onto it

the higher you climb the more customised your stuff becomes, this applies to clothing as well (there's text that says "360" printed on the back of his hoodie, it became that way once he reached the master level)

in my head i think only the parkour champion and god would have somewhat functional wings, idk about everyone else but i'm leaning towards little vestigial ones only if any (looking directly at emf)

is the headband a permanent fixture on evbo now?

he's a godly entity, he's not supposed to make sense

either way, it can shrink back to looking like a normal headband if he wants, he can have a malleable form as a treat

the ahoge isn't new, he's had that since the start

also yes his eyes really are like that even though most of the time it's just part of my style, his are Like That for realsies

he could theoretically repair the rip in his jeans, but he thinks the hole makes him look cooler

yknow what with the strife building between forever and bad and the ripple effect that might have on the server at large i think now is the perfect time to fridge bad. go touch grass, mr boyhalo, it's time to see people either fall apart or come together without you. bc listen. listen. when the dms are bumpin with 'bad can you ___' every thirty seconds. sometimes you just gotta steal badboyhalo and see what the fuck happens. i just want to know.

and i also want bad to slEEP GODDAMNIT

My mourning is over, sure, time has swept it away. But the heart can't forget some things, the heart can't forget even if you want to. I still do not have a husband, my children still don't have a father. Sometimes, they ask me "Why did our father die? Who killed him?". I become speechless, your majesty, I can not say a word. I can not say that my brother killed him.

Shadowheart was so mad at Addy over finding out he was the one who started the cult of the Absolute, and for him not telling them. Even though Addy didn’t know before just then either. And they all know he has amnesia and he made no secret of this being a surprise to him while talking to Gortash.

Shadowheart, my girl, *you* have amnesia, have a little empathy.

I saw a video that mentioned how Radagon's name starts with R, fitting in with the also R-starting names of the Carian royals. And they wondered if it was possible that, since the Liurnian Wars were the first and only battles Radagon fought in before marrying Rennala, instantly solving those wars, that he might have been actually been 'made' with the very purpose of marrying her from the beginning. When I recall how under the Golden Order, Carian astrology 'withered on the vine' and how initially loyal all the Carian demigods were to Leyndell, I feel like it's really plausible. It's a wickedly tragic image, if that *was* the reason Radagon was created. Him being made like a key to the lock that was Liurnia.

INTERESTING…. never really thought about this theory, but I think it really fits with some thoughts I already have about Radagon and the Carians.

Radagon founded Golden Order fundamentalism after studying sorcery as Rennala’s husband, and as such, fundamentalist incantations are based on both faith AND intelligence. I swear this is relevant!! The Radagon Icon item description says this:

“As the husband of Rennala of Caria, the red-haired Radagon studied sorcery, and as the husband of Queen Marika, he studied incantations. Thus did the hero aspire to be complete.”

Completion, the way Radagon sees it, is this joining between faith and intelligence.

We also learn from Rogier about how glintstone sorcery was brought into the Golden Order:

“They were conceived at the great Academy of Raya Lucaria, to the north of this castle. In the past, they obeyed laws which contravened the Golden Order, or so I'm told. Fascinating, isn't it? That the Golden Order was pliable enough to absorb practices that contradicted itself in the past.”

So fundamentalism is an extension of a Golden Order that now encompasses glintstone sorcery. This also reflects the Golden Order’s Law of Regression, “all things yearn eternally to converge.”

Furthermore, just as Radagon’s fundamentalism is based on a joining of the Erdtree and the moon, so are his children with Rennala! I think this may have been why Ranni was an empyrean, chosen by the Two Fingers, since she stands to inherit BOTH lineages… as the god of the new age, she would ensure the moon would forever exist under the Erdtree. Of course, she ended up completely destroying the part of her that was connected to the Erdtree, so this didn’t happen at all 😎

Anyway, all of this makes it seem like a joining of the Erdtree and the moon was something desired by the Greater Will. So the idea that Radagon was specifically engineered for this purpose slots into this idea pretty neatly I think, especially since he went on to solidify the principles of the Golden Order based off of his experiences with sorcery. The idea that the family’s very existence might have been part of a wider agenda definitely puts a complicated spin on their character dynamics for sure

So you’re delusional too😂 losers

You wanna know what's funny about this message?

This greyface has waited months for me to respond to this. But they sent it after stalking @phoenixwrites, and I do mean stalking - they sent this because of a post I liked on a third party's page. Not their page, not stuff posted to my own page - stuff on a completely unrelated person's page.

So. You are stalking someone you don't like, and intentionally looking for people who like their posts so that you can hit that little anon button and send...this?

I'm sorry who's the delusional one here?

In the French dub of the movie, Melvin somehow sounds like he's 40 and 15 at the same time. Seriously.
