Literally, the only rule I follow now when it comes to enjoying any piece of media is: Does this spark joy? Yes? Okay, we're keeping this.

#dreamer talks #fandom #fandom experience #idk what to tell people #other than i enjoy what i enjoy #and that's all there is to it #i think also escaping a “media purist” head space #has made things a lot more enjoyable #for me than they were before #canon does matter #but it's not the only sole part of my experience #and that's perfectly okay

Do you think they’ll show daemon and rhaenrya mourning the lost of their partners next episode with them getting together? Because I’m not sure if that’s what “love” is only comfort in one another. People were also saying rhaenrya seemed so happy with harwin but tbh she looked sad most of the episode and kind of lost. If she was with the love of her life then I presume she would’ve been happier or maybe she’s under a lot of stress. What are your thoughts?

*sigh* I honestly don't know where people got the idea that Daemon was deeply in love with Laena, or that Rhaenrya was so in love with Harwin. Because it was JUST NOT IN THERE on the screen.

Let's take a look at the couple scenes.

Daemon/Laena: The only time he looked happy was when he was flying Caraxes. Other than that we never saw the man happy, not at all. He was muted, depressed, miserable. When the offer was made to stay in Pentos, he considered it without taking into account Laena's point of view. He spent his time poring over stories and accounts of the Targaryen kings, the Targaryen legacy. He kept up to date on what was going on with Rhaenrya. When her name came up, he broke out of his muted stupor for a bit, and there was bitterness and jealousy in his tone.

Yes, he cared for Laena. Yes, he loves his daughters, but the man was clearly living in a world of muted grey, living half a life where he is cut off from what makes him burn.

Now, let's take the final scenes. Many like to compare it to the Viserys/Aemma childbirth scene and how Daemon is so much better because he didn't choose the child over the mother. I agree with that, yes, it was great that Daemon made that choice. On the other hand, I feel that a LOT is being missed.

Viserys was/is the King of the Seven Kingdoms. He believed he was a dreamer who had the sight, and his vision saw his son (he believed his and Aemma's son) on the throne. If he was given this vision, surely it had to be of some huge import for the realm. Viserys was driven by something greater than just "me man, must have son!" pounds chest!

Also, he was devastated. He held her hand; he wept. He told her he loved her. And despite the horrid, terrible thing happening, we know that he did absolutely love her. On the other hand, Daemon stood outside the room calmly, a pained look on his face. He wasn't there by Laena's side. He wasn't holding her hand. He wasn't there FOR HER. Laena was able to escape the room because Damon wasn't with her.

And then when he saw her, he called her name, he looked on in pain, in grief, but I'm sorry to those who said so, but that was not devastation. Matt Smith is a tremendous actor. If he wanted to show a Daemon who was devastated, he would have. Miguel Sapochnick is a tremendous director. If he wanted us to see a Daemon who was devastated we would have seen it. We would have seen a Daemon RUNNING, RACING, CHARGING to her.

We did not.

We would have seen a Daemon falling to his knees in agony, raggedly running his hands through his hair in torment. Crying. Trying to get closer to her burnt corpse.

We did not.

What we got was a muted Daemon staring in pain at the burnt body of his wife of ten years who had just lost their child and willingly chose to die by dragonfire rather than bleed out for days in agony. And he just stood there. It hurt. He was hurting, yes. But he wasn't devastated.

Now to Rhaenrya/Harwin. She looked on pleased to introduce Harwin to Joffrey. She smiled at his joke about the babe's insolence. She used the secret tunnels that Daemon had shown her to listen in on Lyonel's rant to Harwin and looked sad and guilty about it. She looked sad when he had to say goodbye to the boys.

And, erm, that was it.

On the other hand, she was playing with the same ball-thing in the Small Council meeting that was Daemon's, and it was only when HIS name came up that we FINALLY saw some of that old Rhaenrya fire.

So, after this very (very, very) long-winded response, no, anon, we don't have to worry about Daemon and Rhaenrya getting together because they are mourning their dead partners. Daemon was with Laena because he could not be with Rhaenrya. Laena even all but said she knew that she was his second choice. She told him she was not the wife he would have chosen. He didn't deny it, he just said her name apologetically.

Once Daemon sees Rhaenrya, it's going to be: YAAAAS! My QUEEN! She is his love. SHE is his first choice. Always has been.

As for Rhaenrya, what, where was Rhaenrya looking so happy with Harwin? It didn't happen in episode 06, so I don't know where they saw it.

And same as above.... once Rhaenrya sees Daemon, it's going to be: YAAAAAS! My KING! HE is her love. HE is her choice. Always has been.

We don't have time to unpack all this, but I was reminded this weekend during the wedding ceremony that at the core of it, I wanted to be able to officiate weddings because I didn't want to be the friend not picked for the wedding party. And adult me is just vibing and having a good time showering my friends in love.

But child me, mate, child me was so, so worried about being forgotten or left out. I have to protect her. I'm so glad I'm here to protect her.

#personal #greye talks #this isn't a post about billy #but #adult billy should have been allowed to protect child billy #and that's all there is to it

So yeah...as you could probably tell from some of the posts I’ve reblogged in the past, I absolutely HATE the ‘humans are inherently bad and selfish/humanity is evil’ mindset, both in fiction, and ESPECIALLY in real life.

Like...I GET IT. There can definitely be some evil, awful people in the world--I’ve heard of, and even run into some myself, but to act like every single human ever is evil, just by way of being human?????? Not only is that giving truly bad/awful people an excuse not to change their behavior because hey, ‘humankind is selfish/awful by default’, in my opinion it’s literally just another form of prejudice, like racism or sexism, but elevated to AN ENTIRE SPECIES.

Yes, even if it’s another human saying it in real life, don’t @ me.

#rhys-ravenfeather signing in #okay to reblog #my mindset is that humankind as a whole is flawed--there are people who are good and people who are bad--some more one than another #even the best people have their flaws but THAT'S WHAT MAKES US HUMAN and THAT'S OKAY!#all that matters is that we try to be good and help others especially the weakest among us the best that we can #and that's all there is to it #and yeah i'm PROBABLY making too big a deal out of this but i've already been dumped on for being a girl #for being autistic #and (possibly) for my race (or my perceived race) i do NOT want to listen to anyone fictional or real dumping on me for my species too #nor that of any other person

in the hour or so it took me to draw this op turned reblogs off

EDIT: reblogs are STAYING OFF. op was right and correct and i have never regretted making a post as much as this one. if you want to reblog my art you can reblog something else from my blog. or commission me, lord knows i deserve financial compensation for the nightmare this post has put me through

#art #i had to block multiple people because of this post and i easily could have blocked more #do you guys have any idea how exhausting it is to hear 400 people make the exact same unfunny joke each thinking they're being original #or worry that another person might get harassed over a post i made because of the way people are talking about them #or be harassed/insulted YOURSELF because some people don't know how to fucking behave #you guys don't get reblogs back. you should be grateful i'm leaving the post up at all.
