the fact that people are actually for-real using threads is insane. is this what weve come to as a society? i remember a time when google tried to make their own version of facebook and it was regarded as so lame it was almost immediately a punchline. now META of all cunts is making its own copy of TWITTER of all cesspools and people are voluntarily joining??? whats next?? are we all gonna use bing and the windows phone too?? you people make me sick id genuinely rather us all go to the jeremy renner app

Rhaenyra’s attitude to Daemon’s twin girls in comparison to her own children is…interesting. But I don’t think the writers themselves realised it was an issue so I doubt it will be addressed

First there is her decision to not let Jace ride out on his dragon (understandable after what just happened to Lucerys!) but she sends Baela instead. You could argue that she believes that Baela, as a woman, would be less hot-blooded than Jace would which matches the show’s theme of men being bloodthirsty and women being the peacemakers. But Baela is very much mini-Daemon judging by her mad chase after Criston Cole.

Does Rhaenerya not know her personality? Have they not lived together for years as one big happy family? Or is risking Baela preferable to her actual son?

Then there is the insane attitude towards Rhaena, who she can spare because she has no dragon. Rhaenyra can’t bear to let her boys go…but Rhaena will have to be “mother” to them now. She tells this kid, her stepdaughter, to mother her children and how hard this is for her, Rhaenyra. Rhaena’s own mother is dead and she’s 16 years old.

If I thought the writers were exploring some interesting issues with Rhaenyra such as; maybe she has internal misogyny like Alicent but it express itself in a different way; or maybe she like many stepmothers just doesn’t care as much about Daemon’s previous children; or maybe she’s getting colder and more selfish as the pressure piles on and she lost her son…..but I highly doubt this was the intention.

The writers so far have made it clear that we are supposed to see Rhaenyra as the “moral” character so she doesn’t get to have major flaws like this (terrible writing decision btw). But this is completely undermined by them not realising how her treatment of the twins looks to the audience

Astarion loves when his partner’s body reaches its peak and releases into his mouth. It’s one of the few things he can taste with great clarity and the warmth of a load competes with the heat of blood on his tongue.

Astarion slides his mouth off and climbs up higher on his body. He palms the side of his flushed face and presses their lips together in a tight kiss only to feel an eager tongue slip between his, breaking the seal. It is messy and it is good.

You are perfect, he thinks as the pale elf finds himself so fortunate to be with a lover inclined to share everything.

[lovetrenches]

At that moment I knew 

When I’m feeling tense all it takes is one touch from you

Your hand slowly approaching mine

Gripping firmly 

All worries drown out 

Vulnerable 

At that moment I knew 

With my heart opened 

and my guard down 

I could love you forever 

The way you look in my eyes tells a story that only you and I can see

Only you and I can read it 

What chapter is this ?

I don’t want it to finish 

Only you and I could've created this masterpiece

With my heart wide open

I can love you forever

Aegon’s little face when Aemond starts speaking to him in High Valyrian in front of EVERYONE. He’s so out of his depth, I feel so bad for him 😭

This little shit is throwing in words like lickspittles and sobriquet. High Valyrian 101 is probably as far as Aegon got

I started cracking up when Aegon stammered back some grammatically incorrect words just jumbled together after swilling some wine to delay the moment he’d have to speak. How did this loser become my favourite character to watch?

It’s also tragic because he never wanted this. He was literally ready to flee the country rather than be king. They forced him on the throne and then hate him for being the man on the throne

Hard Work

You can’t always bring everyone with you.

When you return he immediately puts his hands on you, to inspect every inch of skin broken and unbroken alike. He knows the scent of blood which is yours, which is not your own. You are covered in both, but bloodletting is little concern to you.

You take him in your arms yet can’t help averting your gaze under his scrutiny.

Red eyes trace the shape of you haloed by fire. Fingertips press against the rigid foundations of your jaw, your cheeks. His lips purse.

“I did miss that face, you know.”

Of course he did. He always does. You lift your gaze to meet his and see the resolve of a man who’s holding on to something real. Yes. This is real. And you would not have it any other way.
