I think they are doing this to us on purpose...

I love this fandom, I was sad and depressed because of the 💩 ending but after reading all of this amazing jonerys fics I felt happy and no matter what I still found comfort on this.

Please I now it's a lot to ask but don't go don't let them took away this bubble of happiness (you and the others on this fandom created for all of us) from us too.

On purpose? Yes if by that you mean the purpose of doubling down on the season 8 ending and milking whatever they can from the old Game of Thrones fan base. You know, the same ones who are so easily swayed by CGI dragons and will tune in to watch The House Of The Dragon. And the ones who think that the only thing wrong with the ending was that Dany's turn was too quick (but they thought she was mad in the first place, so that's not why they're raging about the ending), the ones who wanted Jon to kill the Night King instead of Arya and the ones who wanted Jon to end up on the Iron Throne.

WE ARE NOT THE SAME WHAT THE FUCK IS NOT CLICKING

Now that I'm heated again and in light of what Emilia said, I'm gonna say this respectfully but you're giving too much credit to HBO AND Kit.

Let me refresh your memory!!!

HBO agreed to the ending we got. Have y'all suddenly forgotten?? The HBO CEO watched the rough cut of the 6 episodes and thought hey these are great

In fact HBO stood by the ending after the petition to redo the season gained worldwide popularity

HBO even thought it appropriate to insult the fans even further and stick by their ending when they gave D and D a cameo in Westworld in which they chop up Drogon

While Kit himself feared that the ending would be divisive, he thought that it was justified:

I'm not saying he wasn't traumatised because it obviously fucked with his head having to kill off his friend on screen (READ THAT AGAIN) I'm just saying y'all are mistaking his grief related to the end of GoT as to the grief for Dany's botched up story.

In fact Kit thought that Jon's ending was "really sweet" 🙃

I cannot overstate how much Kit has in fact stuck by the writing choices

Emilia saying now that this spin off (told y'all the news was real and legit, even if it the spin off might currently be in just the very beginning stages) is certified by Kit doesn't mean shit to us Dany fans!!!

Because tell me what in everything I showed you that Kit said regarding season 8 sounds like a man who would ONLY do a Jon Snow spin off in order to revive Dany and retcon season 8?? It just sounds to me that he loves the character so much he'd probably play it again in most circumstances now that he has had time to deal with his mental health.

Like an asoiaf podcaster said, who if given $10M to play Jon fucking Snow would say no out of principle?

Exactly.

And I'm not "letting them take away anything." Please. I was amongst the last women standing when the last episode aired. I was one of the few still trying to hold everyone's hand through the grief we've had to deal with. I have and still am pouring my heart into so many jonerys fics and I will continue to do so until I can't do it anymore. I've stuck with jonerys through all the shit Kit has said since the ending of GoT, I just tune him out now (after the proper rant ofc) because I really don't trust his judgement on a lot of things 😃

And before you come for me I can still like Kit and drag him for all the shitty things he's done and said. It's called nuance 🤍

Go read an old jonerys fic today and show the author some love. We don't need HBO. We don't need shitty spin offs. We've done well for ourselves for the last 3 years, this isn't going to suddenly make me love jonerys more. Thank god my love for Jon Snow (the legit one, not the s8 one), Daenerys Targaryen and jonerys doesn't depend on what Kit Harington says or does.

#alice has mail #anti game of thrones #anti hbo #anti house of the dragon #anti got #alice rants #the rage of seeing the shit kit has told lmfao i cant with this man??? the audacity of saying you cheered her on #it's giving gaslight gatekeep girlboss #y'all are free to do whatever you want just dont try to tell me this man wouldn't come back to hbo and have a very anti dany spin off lmao #the man who said Jon's true love was ygritte?is this your saviour?bestie even kit is confused he's mixing up his own wife with her characte #and hbo is just desperate to get back all the money they lost with the shitshow of an ending #fucking hell hbo has been trying to make spin offs out of everything under the sun #they just know that the only way it would work outside of cgi dragons is by having a house name attached to it #thats why the starks spinoff didn't work no one cared about the actors

okay so i'm annoyed and i've decided to rant about it

in my fic, i made pandora a lestrange. there isn't actual information on who she was before she became a lovegood, but i heard the lestrange rumor and liked it, so i made her one.

that should be all fine, but apparently it's not. the amount of comments i've gotton from people telling me i'm wrong, that she was a malfoy or a black, and telling me i wrote MY story wrong, is just frustrating.

this is my story. my FANFICTION. so what if she was actually a malfoy? i genuinley don't care. she's a lestrange in my fic so you can either suck it up or just not read it.

DON'T leave me rude comments telling me how to write my story and my characters, because i am over it. i tried to write something fun and then there are people who continue to come at me because of a certain thing in my story they don't like.

like, its MY story. i'm writing this in my spare time, not getting paid for it, so stop treating my story as if its a published book you can tear a part, because you can't.

that's not what fanfiction is, and honestly i'm sick of it.

My thoughts on the death of Twitter.

Twitter is dying, hell it's pretty much already dead. I personally never had a twitter account, but it was important. With facebook arguably falling out of favor with the latest generations, twitter was the defacto social media platform for large swathes of people from every demographic and age group. It was a conversation space, and yes it could be hostile, toxic, and prone to mobs, but it also had intimately human moments. It holds so much of our culture, records of developments that will just fade to mild fluctuations in magnetic fields, as the hard drives that once contained crystalized pieces of our human journey, become nothing more than rubbish.

The internet is like an ecosystem. There's a balance to it, a push and pull. It has currents,tides and jet streams, complicated interconnected relationships that not even we as the participants fully understand. And now, one of the single biggest occupants of an ecological niche we do not even fully understand, is about to disappear. Not die, disappear. Because death implies decay and return, as if more than a decade of human communications are going to go somewhere, or return somewhere. But there is no place for it to go to, or return to. We are losing so much historical data, so much that we won't even know what we're going to miss until it's far too late.

And that's just about the historical records issue, because when twitter goes, there is one part of the platform that will need somewhere to go. The people. To paraphrase Aristotle, "Nature abhors a vacuum". Twitter is dying, and it's not going to leave anything behind except its users, and the people who built it. I cannot say what will happen next, but there are hundreds of software and firmware engineers without a job, and several hundred million people without a platform.

I was looking over an article on where Twitter users planned to go next. There were lists, and discussions of using mastodon, and explorations of discord group chats. I felt like I was looking at the build up to our mini apocalypse, and I was there for the tumblr exodus. I watched as the entire platform panicked, as we all ran around like chickens with our heads cut off. It felt like the entire platform was collapsing, and then I watched, as the platform shuddered, and groaned, and it held, but I remember watching communities talk about where they would go. I admit that I was genuinely scared, because I thought that this gestures vaguely might be over, and now I can't help but to think of twitter, and its users. Because for them, it really, probably, is over.

Imagine the level of panic that we went through during the 2016 ban, except instead of tens of thousands, imagine hundreds of millions of people, hundreds of thousands of communities packing up their bags and discussing their best options for survival. The absence of twitter as a platform is going to drastically all sorts of dynamics, and the energy from hundreds of millions of panicked people is not something that just fizzles out. The death of Twitter is going to have ripple effects we can't even being to understand yet, but this is an end of an era. Something big is coming, and while I can't pretend to know what it is, or what's going to happen next, this feels important. This feels like a moment that people are going to talk about in history books one day. We are watching the future unfold before our eyes, and we are cursed to not understand what it all means until it's over.

Viserys is just as despicable as Daemon and Otto, except in a different way

It's weird enough how King Viserys is widely well seen by the audience despite his evident selfishness, which is perhaps one of the most pronounced traits throughout the show. This perception is predominantly fueled by Rhaenyra's camp, who views Viserys' unequal treatment of his children in her favor as a redeeming quality of his character.

The subtle detail of Rhaenyra eagerly desiring a sister while her mother is still pregnant often goes unnoticed, just like her displease of the life she is supposed to endure going through many difficult pregnancies. Her strong insistence that it will be a girl contrasts with her father's wishes, hinting at an awareness of the changing dynamics within the royal family in case a boy is born. Despite spending her early years as the king's only child, the frequent pregnancies of Rhaella imply the king's persistent efforts to secure a male heir to the throne.

Therefore, Rhaenyra is effectively being sidelined as a potential heir in favor of a yet-to-be-born phantom brother. The king's intense desire for a male heir leads him to make the drastic decision of sacrificing his own wife during childbirth. While it's understandable that a mother would prioritize her child's life over her own, the scene becomes disturbing due to Aemma's clear distress and pleas for help let alone the fact that she was literally cut open while being awake, highlighting the king's unwavering determination that will lead to others suffering and this is a leit motive for the rest of his life, be it physically or emotionally.

The claim that Viserys, a now seasoned king, was manipulated by a teenager into marriage is one of the most absurd ones in this fandom, especially if we take into account how Alicent is portrayed. In reality, it was another self-centered choice driven by his own desires. Alicent, despite being urged by her ambitious father to seduce the grieving king (much to her horror), maintains the demeanor of a respectable lady. During her time with Viserys, the focus is on shared interests such as history and books, creating a dynamic more akin to a father spending time with his daughter. Alicent even mends the temporary rift between him and Rhaenyra giving him genuine advice. Viserys undoubtedly married Alicent out of his own desire, not coercion as some suggest. The scene where he announces it reveals Alicent's almost shocked reaction, indicating her lingering hope that he might not proceed with the idea. If Viserys were a virtuous man, he would have found Alicent a suitable match with a respected lord to acknowledge her services and simultaneously spite her father's ulterior motives.

Viserys continues to treat Alicent as an object throughout their marriage, often demanding her to fulfill his physical needs, even after he is plagued by illness and Alicent shown to be visibly uncomfortable because of it. After a somewhat "honeymoon" phase, which is still marred by a strained relationship between Alicent and Rhaenyra which puts the former in isolation despite her efforts to show support for her as the heir, Viserys is suddenly consumed by guilt for his actions towards Aemma. At this point, Alicent and their son Aegon (and by consequence their future three children) cease to exist for him. It's important to highlight that despite this epiphany and subsequent emotional neglect, Viserys' requests for physical intimacy with Alicent persist, which only makes him more of an hypocrite who still can't help but indulge in his selfish needs at the expense of others.

Viserys' insensitivity towards Alicent is further emphasized when Daemon returns to King's Landing and both he and Viserys mock Alicent's attempts at conversation about the new tapestries. Even Rhaenyra is visibly appalled by their behavior and chooses to support Alicent to prevent her from feeling humiliated. The temporary resumption of friendship between the two women adds layers to their tragedy, as their later falling out is ultimately induced by the men who view them merely as tools of power.

In addition to Daemon's emotional hold on Rhaenyra that will lead to their scandalous marriage, Otto's influence over Alicent, and his manipulative schemes, Viserys perpetuates the conflict through his inaction and convenient stance in the middle ground. He neglects his other children, projecting guilt towards Aemma onto them and Alicent. While he outwardly shows love and favoritism for Rhaenyra and ignores her infractions, it seems more like a projection of guilt rather than genuine support, as he fails to take concrete steps to legitimize her ascension, especially now with the presence of sons. Viserys' actions ultimately work against Rhaenyra's favor, rather than supporting her. His handling of the family feud after Laena's funeral closes the door for any potential reconciliation between the queen and the princess.

The truce dinner in episode 8 is unmistakably a ticking time bomb. The Rubicon was crossed years ago, but Viserys prefers to maintain the illusion of a happy family, akin to the illusion of Alicent being Aemma, for his own peace of mind. Rather than addressing the underlying issues, he opts to create a facade to avoid dealing with the potential chaos of his family members turning against each other once he is gone.

In conclusion, Viserys embodies those problematic people who often evade accountability for their actions due to their seemingly kind and sympathetic demeanor. His ability to project an amiable facade masks the deeper issues and consequences of his decisions, allowing him to avoid the scrutiny he might otherwise face.

I liked Heartstopper from the start, but where it really became THE comfort show for me was the bowling party in S01E05. At that point, I didn't know so much about the show yet and how wholesome it was overall. Plus it was half of the season so I expected something to go really downhill.

But like...

The scene where Tao tells Nick that Charlie really likes him, and he better stop messing with him or else? And Nick is just like "Okay, fair enough" ?

Like, no arguing. No back talk. Nothing. Nick just acknowledges this is how Charlie feels about him and how it looks like to other people, especially to his friends. Obviously we know he's not really messing with Charlie, but that doesn't matter. For others, it looks like that. And Nick knows, that's not right. There's no ego involved.

And the scene where Nick overhears Charlie and Tao in the bathroom??

Holy moly. So many things could go wrong here. I was really worried.

I was expecting Nick to either stay there and confront Charlie about it somehow, or leave and stay radio silent.... anything but hugging Charlie and nearly crying in his arms. Then afterwards, Nick immediately sets the record straight on everything - explains to Charlie the thing with the date, expresses his feelings for him... admits he's made a mistake that is worth saying the banned "S" word. Just wow.

(The way it feels so unrealistic tho, when it's literally just good communication. The bar irl is in hell,huh?)

Of course Nick isn't the perfect human and he messes up sometimes, but he always owns up to it. Like the next day, when he explains everything to Imogen as well. He doesn't sugarcoat stuff, just tells her that's how he feels. And she listens. She is obviously hurt, but doesn't put him down for it, not even the next day in front of the rugby lads.

Incredible.

The way this show handles communication is so great.

Truly one of a kind💜

[wishesofeternity]

“You toil still in service to men. Your father, your husband, your son. You desire not to be free, but to make a window in the wall of your prison. Have you never imagined yourself on the Iron Throne?”

A couple of things:

1)  Alicent is a queen consort and is a Hightower by birth, so no, she cannot imagine herself on the Iron Throne, because Targaryen succession does not work like that. This is basic knowledge that 5-year-olds would presumably be expected to know, and I am astounded and embarrassed that Rhaenys, with her age and experience, lacks this fundamental bit of common sense.

2) Alicent has been the functional regent of Westeros for the past six years. In the previous episode, we see her actively governing the realm and overseeing all royal matters (while Rhaenyra sits on her ass with her loser husband in Dragonstone). We also literally hear Vaemond tell Rhaenys “It’s not a king who sits the Iron Throne these days, good sister. It’s the queen”, so I can assure you, Rhaenys, that Alicent has physically sat on the Iron Throne just fine. She lacks authority, obviously, as she is the consort and not the king, but she certainly did not and does not lack power, to say nothing about influence. This ridiculous show, however, does not seem to be able to differentiate these terms.

3) Does this show not understand that Alicent installing her son as King is not just beneficial to him (which the show acknowledges) but also directly beneficial to her? This is a patriarchal and patrimony-inclined world; Alicent’s son being King would not only mean immense prestige for her family; it would also mean the ultimate peak of power and influence for her (which we see her unapologetically wield in the books). In Westeros, we see Visenya Targaryen supporting her brother and her son’s kingship rather than angling for the throne in her own right, and wielding absolute power and authority in their reigns. Historically, Empress Matilda (the female claimant to the throne in the Anarchy, the war this story is based off) relinquished her claim in favor of her son, Henry II, presumably because she recognized he stood a better chance at gaining the throne (which he did) and continuing her legacy. Joanna of Flanders, who literally wore armor and led troops into battle, did it to support the cause of her husband in direct opposition to the claim of his niece. Yet according to this show’s logic, every single woman who has fought for their fathers and brothers and husbands and sons subscribes to internalized misogyny rather than, idk, supporting their families and gaining power, security and status in the process. Not to mention, Alicent relinquishing her children’s claim and stepping aside would not only be utterly humiliating and degrading for her from a political and personal standpoint, but also legitimately life-threatening for her children and her family. More competent writers would understand that she did not have much of a choice.

4) “You desire not to be free but make a window in the wall of your prison” is the MOST SICKENING PIECE OF VICTIM-BLAMING BULLSHIT I have ever heard in a long, long time. Alicent was a teenager when she had to marry the much-older King (her best friend’s own father) because of his desire for her. He repeatedly raped her and forced at least four pregnancies on her that she did not want. She was utterly isolated at court after her marriage, lacking comfort and friends (including Rhaenyra, who abandoned Alicent for three years after learning that she was being made to marry her father and, based on the comments she made, did not even stop to consider the awfulness of Alicent’s predicament). She had to endure the humiliation of her father being fired and made to leave court, leaving her even more alone than she previously was. She had to endure her husband constantly favoring his firstborn and his grandchildren by his firstborn rather than Alicent’s children who were a direct result of her rape by him. Her son was maimed and bleeding and her husband chose to defend his firstborn’s moronic decisions rather than bring him justice.  She is not a Targaryen, she does not and cannot ride a dragon. WHAT WAS ALICENT SUPPOSED TO EXCEPT TRY AND SURVIVE? HOW ON EARTH IS SHE BEING JUDGED FOR IT?

(And this ridiculously condescending comment is coming from Rhaenys of all people, lmao. A dragon-riding Targaryen who was an actual claimant to the Iron Throne, unlike Alicent. So, what was stopping HER from seizing power, pray tell? After all, she even has the Velaryon forces to back her claim. Instead, in her own words, she made peace with her sidelining. She constantly disagreed with her husband’s ambition regarding her claim and her family’s power. She volunteered her 12-year-old daughter as a child bride for her own aging cousin. The hypocrisy and double standards here is pathetic, and the lack of self-awareness on the part of the show is even worse)

Alicent was legitimately terrified for her children and her family’s lives, and she was entirely justified in doing so: if Rhaenyra ascended the throne, Alicent’s children would inevitably become threats to her whether or not they directly opposed her. This is unavoidable. Look up any historical usurpation, and that’s the inescapable result - and that’s not even going into the fact that Rhaenyra and Daemon are people who are reckless, cruel and indifferent to violence, and would not hesitate to kill any opposition to their reign. The show’s so-called claim that Alicent is upholding the patriarchy falls apart when you consider the fact that this is the only solution that guarantees the security of her children and herself. How is Alicent’s perfectly understandable motivation written as internalized misogyny? 

And moreover, from a writing perspective ... why give her this arc at all? Fire & Blood was badly written, but it doesn’t change the fact that they looked at an ambitious woman who wanted to enhance her power and improve her family’s standing, who directly defied her husband’s wishes in terms of succession in favor of her own, and rewrote this choice into one borne from internalized misogyny. They wrote her as a child bride, a rape victim, an abuse victim and a teen mother and then used this backstory to say that she was conditioned to become the so-called agent of patriarchy (which they do not support with believable evidence) who opposes their so-called feminist protagonist (whose primary enabler is Alicent’s rapist and abuser, btw, not that his abuse is acknowledged nearly enough by the narrative considering how heavily he was romanticized in the last few episodes) It’s a heinous, disrespectful, absolutely terrible writing choice, and I cannot emphasize this nearly enough.

(Oh, and speaking of Rhaenyra, let’s talk about how her queenship solidifies Viserys’s claim over Rhaenys’s. Let’s talk about if she truly cared about women inheriting the Iron Throne - as opposed to just herself - she would have considered this. Let’s talk about how she disregarded the claims of Baela and Rhaena in favour of her son when it came to Driftmark. Rhaenyra is not challenging the patriarchy, her ascension to the Iron Throne will not change anything for anyone except for herself, do not make me laugh by claiming otherwise)

ON TOP OF THIS, the show can’t even decide on a consistent motivation or characterization for Alicent. They repeatedly show us her visceral and justified fear for her children’s lives, which is somehow forgotten in episode eight in favor of her saying that Rhaenyra will be a good queen. Her desire to see her son crowned and thus ensure her children’s safety is disregarded in favor of her actually wanting to fulfil Viserys’s half-baked wishes on his deathbed. They have her say that everyone knows Aegon will be king, and then act surprised when the Green council plots to install him as King. They do not care about Alicent’s personhood and individual character; what they care about is her position as a foil and antagonist to Rhaenyra.

In conclusion: this show sucks. It shows absolutely no understanding regarding the politics of its own world and our medieval history and is a parody and a travesty of respectful storytelling. It has inconsistent and baffling character motivations and downright misogynistic writing, and this is not acknowledged nearly enough by the fandom.

OMG no don't leave the fandom 😥💔

I know this is coming from a good place but I need y'all to understand that some of us have been here since 2016-2017 consuming and especially creating content. That's five fucking years of our lives. And while some of us have managed to somehow stick with the ship through JON LITERALLY KILLING DANY, that's not the case for everyone.

Because we lost so so many READERS (it breaks my heart that I'll never see certain usernames in my comment sections but i UNDERSTAND because I know it fucking hurts), content creators, meta writers, gif makers, fic writers, etc. who have been in the fandom for just as long or way before that, people who literally STARTED CONTENT FOR THE SHIP??? Back when jonerys had 5 fic writers and all the fics on ao3 could be traced to them. Back when there was no fucking hype around jonerys besides the clues hidden in the books. Back when even show-wise it didn't seem like they'd ever even meet. BACK WHEN WE WERE A FUCKING CRACKSHIP SO NOT EVEN RAREPAIR STATUS. Yes, that's how long ago.

So yes I'm fucking mad because the ending of this show has given me ptsd. I've been angry since I woke up to this news. So if I want to be mad at potentially having to live through hbo doubling down on the ending, I'm going to be mad about it.

This is literally me working through my emotions. And yes when s8 aired I was delusional to hope that the show could recover even if they finished the Others plotline too soon in the season, but once I saw Rhaegal and Missandei go... I don't ever ever want to go through the night of watching episode 4. I'm not even exaggerating how much it broke me. To this day I haven't watched the rest of s8 because I don't fucking want it???

Do you know how much it pains me to see that half of the people who used to be on here during and after s7 aren't here anymore??? Not saying that new people aren't welcome. They always were and always will be. But this isn't about that. I need you to read that again.

What more could I give to this fandom? After all the hundreds of Ks of words I've given it in fanfic, in moodboards and in beta work. Because at one point I was doing beta reading for ten people. For free. Out of passion for this ship.

And if I'm fucking angry IT IS BECAUSE I FUCKING CARE TOO MUCH

#alice rants #i know your intentions are good but you gotta let us work through it #and yes after having lived in the fanfom through s8 i am fucking jaded and pessimistic and no i will not censor myself on my blog my god #maybe dont ask me if im leaving the fandom #i can multitaski #i can be mad at kit and still write fics i am a woman of many talents #i havent decided yet but im allowed to be angry. okay? okay.

[loonylupinblack3]

okay so i saw something on my fyp on tik tok and it really just... irked me so i want to talk about it here

basically it was about an episode in the vampire diaries where elena compells (mind controls him for any non tvd fans) her brother to leave town so he can escape the dangerous world of supernatural and her best friend bonnie thinks its wrong.

anyway they have this whole fight abt why elena did it and how bonnie didn't think she should have and this is what they says for context:

Bonnie: i just feel it's really wrong that you compelled jeremy (elenas brother) to leave town

Elena: i'm doing it to protect him. i want to give him a chance at a happily normal life

Bonnie: he should be able to choose how he wants to live it, you're taking his choices away

Elena: bonnie you can't tell him

um so i felt all yucky after that and the caption was 'do you agree with bonnie?' so i checked the comments and... majority of them sided with elena.

i just can't understand it. it physically makes me ill thinking about it because how can you agree with someone when they take your choices away? it's your life, you should be able to choose what to do with it.

anyway i was just shocked that so many people believed elena was in the right and now i can't get it out of my head so yeah here i am talking about it bc idk what else to do

arianne and doran's relationship is genuinely one of my fav parent-child relationships in the series, like no my child your plans were convoluted and doomed to fail. let me tell you instead about my even more convoluted plan, which is currently failing as we speak. like the whole time she was whining about lord yronwood he and doran were doing p much the same thing she was!!! she thought her father was about to disinherit her but she could not be more of his heir!!!

[nonbinarylesbianherb]

people be like “it was Alicent who ruined the friendship!”

“No it was Rhaenyra!”

It was neither.

Both of them were young teens, both dealt with horrible situations.

“Alicent should have told Rhaenyra” Her options were extremely limited, she did the safest thing. She did not choose to marry Viserys, she was used by her father for political gain.

“Rhaenyra shouldn’t have lied to Alicent” She had been groomed by her uncle (also for political gain) and then thrown away. She felt ashamed and humiliated, it is understandable she lied.

They were both children and victims, neither of them were at fault for anything that happened to them.

The real fault lies on the men. Literally just the men, otto, viserys, daemon. All these adult men are the ones to blame. For everything in the show honestly not just the end of rhaenyra’s/alicent’s friendship.

ALICENT HIGHTOWER: The war will be fought, many will die, and the victor will eventually ascend the throne.

To be honest, when Alicent said that in the trailer, I was like, “Didn’t expect that when you plotted to usurp Rhaenyra all these years and now you care?”

She literally raised her children to hate their older sister and her children. What is she going to expect? That they gets along, singing kumbaya?

And again with these sad puppy eyes. It makes me infuriated. I’m so so sorry for what will happen to Helaena, but her family started the war.
