So what I'm gathering so far is Joe Alwyn's biggest crimes are apparently not wanting to marry her and... having depression?

yes...and she made him go through hell for that....

[bakedgoodsforbucky]

This is how you all sound right now:

[bakedgoodsforbucky]

Omg the tide is finally turning!!! I’ve just seen two threads from SWIFITES talking about how low Taylor has been letting joe take this massive amount of hate and she herself fueling it!! Bc his only crimes were being depressed and not wanting to marry her! Talking about how questionable her morals are now 😅😅 Happy fucking days peopleeeee

joe alwyn you’ll always be superior

[bakedgoodsforbucky]

Smiley Joe ☀️

[bakedgoodsforbucky]

Shoutout to joe! Time really does heal all wounds (alwyn wounds idk) 6 years with her and he probably realized all he had to do was keep his mouth shut while Taylor ruined everything herself. He is truly the bigger man.

I never saw him reacting to this in the first place but he’s definitely held his ground on not giving into what she wants him to do.

[bakedgoodsforbucky]

The more script leaks and news of cut scenes we get, the sicker I become. Because what do you mean such weighty scenes delving deeper into characters and their relationships with each other were removed? Scenes that would make all of us more invested in these characters and their relationships??? Alicent voicing her clear powerlessness against her forced marriage to Viserys, Rhaenyra being willing to wield her power to save her (while cruelly but also understandably doubting Alicent's virtue in the matter with Viserys)? Rhaenyra and Alicent reaching a sorrowful resignation to their fate while preparing for the wedding? Harwin rowdily and tactlessly defending Larys from a bully while Larys begrudges him for drawing attention, showing the latter's desire to not be perceived and to maintain an agreeable public/political presence? Baela convincing Rhaenys to join Rhaenyra in the war, appealing to what Laena would have done and who she was? Are you fucking kidding me???? Why did the producers cut these meaty informative scenes and keep some rather empty, indulgent and unnecessary ones like the Larys foot scene??? What happened to insightful storytelling???

[bakedgoodsforbucky]

i’ll never forgive the hotd writers for benching laena in order to make rhaenyra look bad. RHAENYRA & LAENA made the Jace/Baela and Luke/Rhaena betrothals, not Rhaenys. Rhaenys was never involved. But instead we get Rhaenyra making this desperate last attempt to secure Rhaenys’s support at the when Luke’s inheritance is about to be taken away. No, Laena went to her grave with the expectation that her daughters would be Queen Consort of the Seven Kingdoms and Lady of Driftmark because of the matchmaking she did. Not Daemon. Not Rhaenys. Her.

BAELA TARGARYEN in HOUSE OF THE DRAGON Dialogue from the Season 1 Deleted Scene

[bakedgoodsforbucky]

Daemon named his daughters after his father & Laena’s mother, he “begged” Viserys to return from exile in order to get his blessing for the girls & didn’t punish Baela for being non conforming and having sex outside marriage when he was told to do so. Daemon IS a girldad according to GRRM’s own text.

Daemon Targaryen is a girldad and that's canon. In the book they refer to Aegon as "his long awaited son" but given the way it was written I'm not keen to believe that that was how Daemon felt. The book is almost entirely written by pro-Greens (misogynistic) "historians" with the exception of Mushroom who was the court's jester. And while Mushroom does give us a lot of gems and truths the others don't, it doesn't mean everything he says is the truth.

In the minds of the maesters and septons who wrote the book, Daemon would be very glad to finally have a son. What men wouldn't? What men wouldn't prefer a boy over a girl? Why would Daemon have any enthusiasm for having daughters. Everyone knows daughters are useless/s

I think Daemon didn't care about the gender of his children, he was just glad they were born healthy after Mysaria's child and Laena's both died. He loved them all. I do think that Baela was his favourite, but that may be because she was his first born and the one he related the most to. Obviously not everyone prefers their eldest child, but it's just the vibe I get from him.

Someone should’ve told Brandon the Builder that only Daenerys’ dragons can defeat the Others 😔 That poor man built a geothermal powered castle designed to withstand a zombie army and a continental-wide wall for nothing 😔 If only he’d studied the magical problem in depth before building those huge magical fortifications, he would’ve figured that only fire magic works against ice magic 😔

Heres the thing: Danys idea of ruling with an iron fist is to cruely punish all she deems as wrong doers with no due process and then is defensive about pushback. Such as her refusing to acknowledge that she crucified Hizdahr Zo Loraq's father, then when he informs her his father was an intelligent and highly respected man who tried pushing back against the other more cruel masters behavior, she did not say anything but scornfully remind Hizdahr that shes in charge and to watch what he says.

She doesn't see people who engage in bad behavior as worthy of redemption when it's a crime she views as irredeemable.

Jon starts the story somewhat uncomfortable with the fact that some of his brothers in the Nights Watch have done awful things. There are criminals, thieves, murderers, and rapists who are all now his brothers.

But the longer Jon is there, the less he judges them for it because now he sees them as people trying to find new footing in life. He condemns those who decide to re engage in awful behavior, and punishes where needed. But he is not cruel in the punishment and gives them every fair process.

He takes Janos Slynts head as it is traditional Northern practice of execution, and he is very respectful and calm when telling him he is allowed to say his final words. Jon looks him in the eye, and hears his final words before executing him as he does Bowen Marsh, Othell Yarwick, and Ser Alliser Thorne in season 6 when he hangs them. He takes ending a life with respect, because he is not punishing them to be cruel.

Jon does not look down on his brothers for being criminals in their past, because he grows to consider the Nights Watch a chance at redemption.

Dany punishes with cruelty as she sees fit because she is black and white about when someone does something wrong. Jon gives those men a chance to prove they can better themselves after having committed that crime.

These two could never even have a civil discussion because Jon's entire thing is giving people a second chance to prove they are more then their worst moments. Danys entire thing is deciding her viewpoint of right and wrong is the only justification she needs to punish.

Jon executes men himself in what is seen as fair and just practices of execution that respects the criminals right to speak his last words or make a final request and does not feel any joy when doing so. He takes it seriously because even in death, these bad people are still human just like Jon.

Dany gets her army to crucify hundreds of men without any hesitation, and stands up at the top of her newly claimed temple with pride as men in the city scream in dying pain.

Jon rescued six direwolf pups by imploring his fathers empathy that his children were meant to have them. And does not raise Ghost to be a killing machine, but instead utilizes Ghost as a means of defences and protection. His direwolf is an extension of his identity and raises Ghost to value life as he does.

Dany considers her dragons her children and only once condemns them after one of them has done irreversible and horrific harm to an innocent child. Dany burned alive her own slave, a healer who was gang raped by Danys own people, doing so for her political cause, and killed her in what we know Jon considers a horrible way to die, all to birth dragons who she repeatedly uses on purpose to cause massive damage and harm.

These two would never even get along at a basic functioning level.

I think its funny that technically Jon has "the blood of Old Valyria" in him as well. But if you told him that as if it meant something, you know Jon would dismiss it entierly as unimportant, and that he does not give a single shit about it. Being Valyrian is so integral to someone like Danaerys or really any mainstream Targaryeans identity.

Then you have Jon Snow whose just like "I have things to do, I don't care" literally anytime something tries to convince Jon hes special. He's the opposite of everything Valyrians stand for and it would be so funny if hes the only one with Targaryean blood to survive, so that the last living relic of the ancient Valyrian Freehold is stuck inside the most grouchy, anti prophecy Northerner known to man.
