If a gap in the fandom bothers you - for God's sake - fill it your fucking self!!!

The "Fandom hates women" response to lack of F/F is so baffling to me. I can understand the "Fandom hates lesbians" response. I don't agree, but I can at least see the thought process that got them there. "Fandom doesn't write lesbians therefore fandom must hate lesbians." It's a very simple and inaccurate conclusion, but you can at least see the steps the person took. But "fandom hates all women because only a small percentage of them write F/F"? I just don't understand how someone could come to that conclusion. Plenty of Fandom is writing women. M/F is popular, even on Ao3, and at least some of the Gen fic must include female characters. Same with the M/M... Do these female characters not count? Do people think that writing a male character alongside a female one is the equivalent of hating that female character? Or that thinking men are hot together is somehow sexist towards women? I understand being frustrated that your preference is not the majority... but "no F/F fic means that fandom hates women"? Nope. Can't wrap my head around it.

It's a covert radfem thing involving a specific understanding of what it means to prioritize women.

Companion to my Rhaenys piece.

Since I drew her sister, I had to draw the coolest Targaryen also.

reminder that you can and most certainly should be self indulgent in your whump writing. no that's not too much blood. yes you should add a whipping scene. you think it's over the top? it's not enough. if you're not giggling and screeching internally and kicking your feet then what even is the point

Rhaenys the conqueror loved music, and dancing. She spent more time on dragonback than either of her siblings.

I drew Rhaenys as Aphrodite. This idea is from @charlottegospocic, who suggested Rhaenys as Hera. That was the original plan, but I ultimately think Hera fits better with someone like Rhaenyra, and the more I thought about it, the more Aphrodite fit better for Rhaenys.

The Luddites were a secret organisation of workers who smashed machines in the textile factories of England in the early 1800s, a period of increasing industrialisation, economic hardship due to expensive conflicts with France and the United States, and widespread unrest among the working class. They took their name from the apocryphal tale of Ned Ludd, a weaver’s apprentice who supposedly smashed two knitting machines in a fit of rage.

The contemporary usage of Luddite has the machine-smashing part correct — but that’s about all it gets right.

First, the Luddites were not indiscriminate. They were intentional and purposeful about which machines they smashed. They targeted those owned by manufacturers who were known to pay low wages, disregard workers’ safety, and/or speed up the pace of work. Even within a single factory — which would contain machines owned by different capitalists — some machines were destroyed and others pardoned depending on the business practices of their owners.

Second, the Luddites were not ignorant. Smashing machines was not a kneejerk reaction to new technology, but a tactical response by workers based on their understanding of how owners were using those machines to make labour conditions more exploitative. As historian David Noble puts it, they understood “technology in the present tense”, by analysing its immediate, material impacts and acting accordingly.

Luddism was a working-class movement opposed to the political consequences of industrial capitalism. The Luddites wanted technology to be deployed in ways that made work more humane and gave workers more autonomy. The bosses, on the other hand, wanted to drive down costs and increase productivity.

Third, the Luddites were not against innovation. Many of the technologies they destroyed weren’t even new inventions. As historian Adrian Randall points out, one machine they targeted, the gig mill, had been used for more than a century in textile manufacturing. Similarly, the power loom had been used for decades before the Luddite uprisings.

It wasn’t the invention of these machines that provoked the Luddites to action. They only banded together once factory owners began using these machines to displace and disempower workers.
