I think people overestimate how feminist team black is. If someone brings up how Baela should be the heir to Driftmark, it's always "she would've been Queen if not for the Greens!", ignoring that 1, she would be Queen consort, not a Queen in her own right, and 2 she has a legitimate claim in her own right to Driftmark. Team Black's goal is to crown Rhaenyra, but Rhaenyra becoming Queen isn't a win for feminism because it does nothing to dismantle the rest of the patriarchal system that exists in Westeros. From what we've gotten so far, it reads that Rhaenyra wants to be the exception and not the rule. Rhaenyra has made a lot of bad political decisions, which means she can't acknowledge Baela's claim because it would weaken her own claim (blatantly admitting her eldest sons are illegitimate would not end well for her to say the least). So she betrothes Jace and Luke to Baela and Rhaena to kind of atone for that, like as a consolation prize Baela will be Queen and Rhaena will be lady of Driftmark, neither of them would hold either title in their own right. It's good matches because the kids like each other and will treat each other well, but it's not a feminist win or a feministic liberation. It's usurpation, usurpation that takes place because Rhaenyra has to do damage control after having illegitimate children and after a serious of bad political decisions (both hers and her fathers, Viserys is the arbiter of this entire mess). To me, Rhaenyra is very reminiscent of Mary Queen of Scots, I can see a lot of elements drawn from Mary's history in Rhaenyra's story and character, down to their sons eventually taking the crown they failed to claim/keep.

uncle nina!!! will u plz post some of the nsfw dialogue ur wiritng? we will be nice!
ahhhh jeez sakhdlhds. weeeelll...
....because you asked So Nicely, omg.
Time For Cringe! xx ;)
EDIT: OKAY I KNOW I HAVE TO POST THE MEME ITS NOT DONE!!! I’M SORRY I CAN ONLY WRITE THESE LIKE EVERY COUPLE OF HOURS OR I WILL VISIBLY CRINGE AND DIE OF EMBARRASSMENT. SOON. SOZ.
so idk what this is, i feel like it basically just looks like what that dialogue i posted at the bottom of that first nsfw meme looks like but, to be fair, That Is How Stuff Usually Goes For Them, lmao.
( i also did not write real actions or sentences...we know how i am. so, ur left w my cringe & nowhere to hide )
but anyways, i was just thinking about how for the most part, having a super best boyfriend that is a celebrity is nice in the sense that when you miss him there are hundreds of thousands of pictures, edits, videos, content of him that you have access to. that's nice, ofc.
however, with that said, the internet is full of raven content. who is not real. and almost completely devoid of stan content. who is real.
and jersey kyle, specifically down horrendously, does not want to watch Everyone Else's Raven, wear the little pants, exert crazy amounts of forced sensuality, do the fake dominant, bad boy personality, and shamelessly rizz and flirt w/ the entire world on tv...
kyle wants to watch His Stan get flustered and fall apart on the bathroom floor, needy and desperate, calling kyle while he's away on tour at like 3 AM in his hotel room bc the only way he can get off is to the sound of his voice, super embarrassed and struggling to tell kyle what he wants behind his hands, blushing, eyes wide, while he shows kyle exactly how much he wants and needs him.
...Anyways.
THAT is the high qual content that he's looking for, baby!
so...idk, i was just thinking about that i wrote this whack ass little dialogue scenario thing that i'm not that proud of, but you guys seem to enjoy my weird little writer girl stuff, even if i hate it.
tw for nsfw situations obvi ( i will say theres like no action bc i didnt write it...like i could...oof...anyways ) jersey being scary amounts of hot and mean also ravenstan being very pathetic and eager 2 please.
roll clip!
anyways...good heavens lol! which is not where i am going, no sir, no maam, oh my godslkhdksad. i am sorry for everyone who endured that i am deeply embarrassed by my actions. i will be paying for them while burning in nasty writer girl hell.
...but also....lowkey....i thought i kinda Slayed?
maybe? loL
it is extremely possible that i did not slay even a little but...idk idk idk...i feel like i'm an iconique dialogue queen. my hands are over my eyes. being percieved and existence is a prison...please clap. or laugh.
screaming crying and throwing up.
again...you're welcome or i'm sorry.
maybe i'll fill the actions in...and write the extremely down horrendous dialogue that i put in blurbs...idk.
spain w/o the s.
-i am not claiming this, please don't look at me
p.s. idk why im embarrassed like nothing happened like not only am i cringing there is also nothing to cringe at the way i am like is this too much or too little or LIKE DO YALL SEE WHY I AM BAD AT THIS?
edit x2: oh my god i reread it and i am ill; this is too cringe. everyone gets 2-3 hours max to read this before i throw it in the fire.

Hey Witcher fandom. I just wanna be assured that there are plenty of people besides me who are critical of certain aspects of the Netflix series while still being genuine fans of it right?
And there are a good number of people who care for more than Henry Cavill and Jaskier right?
I’m just so sick and tired of the constant negativity that I can’t escape from no matter how much time has passed since the last season dropped and I don’t wanna feel like I have to justify liking this show despite its faults

I have a lot of Erda Thoughts and I feel like they've finally fermented to the point where i can talk about them more in depth without sounding like an unhinged crazy person who can't form a sentence.
That being said, a big reason why I was so angry with people who passed off Erda as a "Crazy baby killing nut job" was because it felt like there was a massive double standard. Like, I suppose we can discuss the ethics of throwing your children into superhell, but a lot of people just. Don't consider why Erda did it or twist the reasons to make her sound unhinged. (The actual reasons: Not wanting the Human evolution to be artificially impacted, not wanting her kids to be used as living weapons, and not wanting the galaxy to be forced under the Emperor's fascist thumb (last one is more implied, but it's what I got out of Saturnine) Meanwhile, the Emperor took young boys and turned them into killing machines and that's okay, because his intentions are all that matters.
Conveniently, the Emperor's reasons for making the Primarchs and the Space Marines are always presented as noble and just, regardless of Emp's actual methods. Like, people tend to present the scattering as something that fucked over the Imperium from the get go, but they don't think about what the Imperium entailed. It's literally built on the exploitation of Child Soldiers, for god's sake. But Erda is the unhinged evil bitch for trying to stop the Emperor from raising the Primarchs.*
Could the Emperor be less fashy if he raised the Primarchs from birth himself? Honestly, I don't know. But the fact that he decided he wanted 20 legions of ultrastrong killing machines made from young boys (either given willingly, picked up off the street, or stolen) systemically brainwashed into following him and his sons only, and said sons being equally durable, functionally immortal, stuffed full of super charisma so no one could stop themselves from following them, who are ALSO made to blindly follow him says... a lot about his beliefs.
*Mind you, yeah. I'm not gonna act like the scattering is the best solution, I too am a traitor fan and feel a lot of sympathy for them. But man, I don't know what else people expected Erda to do. Sneak twenty babies out of a heavily guarded palace?
