The worst thing about Rhaenyra is the inherent need her fans have to moralize the protagonist. Rhaenyra isn't a good person.

That's okay.

Rhaenyra isn't a feminist.

That's okay.

She is not a girl's girl and that's fine.

It's so unfair that people can unapologetically Stan Aegon and Daemon but draw the line at morally questionable women.

We love gray characters until a character is truly gray and a woman.

Rhaenyra isn't better than Alicent, nor is Alicent better than Rhaenyra. These women are both brought to the heel of their patriarchal society at the helm of the most power it affords to women.

Neither of them are intersectional thinkers or necessarily progressing women's rights. Rhaenyra would rule then her son. Alicent will just have her son and grandson's rule.

It's a disservice to her character to pander to the idea of moral righteousness or bettering.

What happens to her happens because she is a woman. At every turn, her womanhood and the role of it will pigeon hold her in this society. That does not excuse her very questionable behavior.

Two things can be true.

For example, using my favorite girl, Nettles.

Under Viserys' rule with Alicent and Otto ruling this young girl is a sex worker to sustain her life. She is assumed to have lost her virginity to eat and was disfigured as punishment for wanting to eat. That was her assumed life under their rule. The entire time she has the capability to be a dragon rider.

Had it fallen normally to Rhaenyra nothing would've changed for her and like most of the women we see in that line of work she'd die at the hands of someone or from illness or pregnancy all while being able to claim a dragon.

Women do not need to be exceptional.

( Not everyone can be Nettles)

Women can just be legally named the heir and be heir.

But to impose a moral code that these characters can never live up to is unfortunate. Again, I rise and say I love Rhaenyra, and I understand that she's been groomed by a crazy person and has the moral compass of every Targaryen after the conquest. She's that girl. I'm sorry for those who don't get it or feel the need to justify it.

I also love Alicent, and as a victim of white people's nonsense in 2020 and the Hollywoodification of the feminist movement in the 2010s, you'll never see hate a woman when men are to blame. Seeing someone try to care about something, she has no understanding or ability to truly escape from is hard and a lot of you project the lack of understanding most people have had when it comes to feminism on her as a means to seem above her and what she does. We all fall short and to villanize her for it, is crazy, especially when the person we compare her to has access to do better and doesn’t pursue it.

I'm still waiting for y'all to dislike Daemon for killing a wife, sleeping with a woman at his wife's funeral, and strangling the other after she miscarried their child. Let's not mistake splinters for planks.

#house of the dragon #hotd #a song of ice and fire #rhaenyra targaryen #alicent hightower #nettles #i love women #stop letting men ruin things #targ men deserve to burn #queen rhaenyra #yall like her because of daemon #i like her inspite of him #i like women inspite of Daemon #burn in hell phantom of the opera stan #anti viserys i targaryen #anti daemon targaryen #one kiss would end all this confusion #Rhaenyra doesn't need to be good #let women be evil #let women be morally gray #rhaenyra being right doesnt discredit wrongs #anti asoiaf men #i say we can always blame these men for most of the issues we have #house targaryen #nettles is the bar i hold people to #she's a good bar to set #alicent being right doesn’t discredit her wrongs

I'm halfway through the show, Queen of Tears, and something that I've seen floating across is the anti Hyun Woo sentiment regarding how he treated Hae In initially and was just trying to do it all for the will.

Something to understand here is that in situations such as his, where he was emotionally empty and just a shell of himself who was just functioning, he didn't have the bandwidth to understand the gravity of situation that was Hae In's terminal illness.

In Hyun Woo's mind, he didn't have Hae In's support anywhere, be it against his in-Laws or in the company. She is silent against her family and hostile and argumentative in the company. He doesn't know what all she does for him on the sly or in backstage. He is not aware and Hae In never made the effort to change that situation.

All that pressure, anxiety, gear and emotional drain took its toll on Hyun Woo's emotional capacity. Stuck in a state of constant negativity, his initial reaction to Hae In's illness might be a form of self-preservation. He shuts down completely, unable to process the additional emotional burden of her mortality.

Something to remember is also the fact, that although he was thinking of it, the one thing that pushed him to draft the divorce papers were the talk of their child, whose entire identity and life was being decided by Hae In's family while she had no opinion on that and couldn't care less. This entire situation fueled the fire of resentment burning within Hyun Woo. Here was Hae In, seemingly indifferent to the future of their potential child, the very thing that initially distanced them. It felt like a repeat of their early struggles, where her family held all the cards and Hae In remained silent, leaving him to battle alone.

This perception, however flawed it might be, explains his impulsive decision to draft the divorce papers. Exhausted and emotionally hollowed out, he saw the child issue as the final straw, a symbol of their inability to stand together. He might have been grasping at a desperate solution, a way to force a change in their dynamic, a cry for her to finally fight for him and their future.

Of course, this doesn't paint Hyun Woo as a hero. His actions were undeniably hurtful, a clumsy and emotionally charged attempt to solve a complex situation. But by understanding the immense pressure he was under, the constant negativity seeping into his core, we can see a flicker of vulnerability beneath his anger. He craved Hae In's support, her voice alongside his in the face of adversity. Perhaps, the divorce papers were a twisted plea for her to finally break her silence, to acknowledge his pain and fight for their future together.

Here's where empathy becomes crucial. While his actions are undeniably hurtful, it's important to consider if they stem from malice or a desperate attempt to cope.

Think about it this way: Imagine a cup overflowing with negativity. Hyun Woo's daily struggles with his in-laws, the lack of support at work, and the constant emotional strain have already filled his cup to the brim. When Hae In's illness is revealed, it's simply too much for him to handle at that moment. He doesn't have the emotional space to understand the gravity of her situation, let alone offer support. in fact, it's easy for him to consider her death as an easy escape since his capacity for empathy or his love for her was essentially buried under all that negativity.

#It was not that he didn't love her #its just the fact that he is tired and had easily given up on their relationship #there is also the fact that for all his calm he does have passive aggressive tendencies #He tends to avoid conflict so it all results in him reaching for the worst conclusion without arguing or hearing another person talk #as evident in the show the more hae in talked and was vulnerable the more he was reminded that he indeed love her #he was also easily jealous of eun seong inspite of not caring much of her #according to him #which just proves that he did love her but in all their struggle that love was lost #honestly #for all his smarts he is a disaster #how did he even graduate from SNU #baek hyun woo #hong hae in #baekhong #queen of tears #kdrama

not to be like that™ but i also really want to see chan being jealous! tinn is handsome and young and kind and caring and im pretty sure all the old people in the market he's friends with have already shown tinn their grandchildren/nieces.

"oh? he has a kid! that's great! shows that he's responsible."

"oh? he's not into women? No worries at ALL. *proceeds to show pictures of their nephews and/or grandsons*"

sometimes, the people these elders want to set him up with end up making an appearance out of the blue, just to help tinn carry his groceries back home so that they have a chance to talk™.

tinn always politely laughs as though they're joking, and refuses. however, the elders have strangely grown protective over him and want him to find someone he can settle with and make a home with.

now, imagine chan going grocery shopping with tinn before they get together. chan sees just how well loved tinn is amongst the elderly. they all eye him in suspicion, but are extremely sweet to Tinn.

and then, he sees a flustered man — younger than tinn is — politely waving a hi and a (handsome) burly man — older than chan is — deliberately touch tinn's fingertips while giving him change and something in him rattles.

chan: *i may need to confess to tinn asap so that i can tell them all that he's taken???* 😠☹️😣

the elders: *is This the kind of man tinn likes?* 😓🤨🧐📝

tinn: *acutely aware of everything going on and choosing to ignore it for the sake of his mental well-being* 😇😊😋

Where’s that Ninjago sin post I’ve come to accept that my Ninjago sin is wrath and it’s wrath over the flanderisation of Kai Ninjago seriously I cannot shut up abt him it is an issue

#I’m so sorry Ninjago fans who do this like y’all do what you want #but in my heart a rabid little dog wants to bite you #ehuagahjsjsk #anyways #Ninjago fans be like here’s kai and his 10 million smoking addictions #while canon kai becomes a fucking martial arts teacher bc he actually has healthier coping mechanisms and doesn’t live in gloom and doom #like people want him too #the people who ignore how he coped with Seabound because they think crying for a year is the only valid way to grieve #still gets me #I’m sure he was sad and yeah we could’ve seen more focus with him #but like man did not go on an angst arc he healed he tried to put good in the world and uphold his sisters memory #it was sweet to see and it showcases his character growth from his arc in s11 #doing what he can inspite of loss and doing it for the kids #WHY DO WE IGNORE THIS #AHHHH #ninjago

Love to all of you who put up with my first draft typos of repeating words and missing letters and swapping letters so much the words are something else.

I read over them, truly, just my brain parses words and letters miserably sometimes, esp when feeling unwell (which has been since, like, November).

You're all darlings~

#this is not an invitation #to point them out btw #this is why I'm so lucky to have Moku as my darling beta #before things go to ao3 #just glad you all stick around inspite of them #blathersandbits

Pairing: Link/Revali

Rating: Explicit

Summary:

Apparently "it's over" isn't the same as things actually being, you know, over. If only Revali learned this before he set off a chain of events that brought his ex-boyfriend to his bed.

--

Two years to the day of first coming up with the thought, here is the short version of an AoC!AU (in which Revalink's character dynamic is adjusted to account for the butterfly effects AoC forgot about.)

#revalink #revalink fic #botw fic #aoc fic (sort of) #age of calamity au #in which revali is seethingly jealous of a sword #I accidentally mistagged this as “inspited by age of calamity” and. well. not untrue. #revali is a bundle of projection and panic #exes with drawbacks #ginnefic
