Now and then I have a little giggle when I recall that JJ Abrams made Rey Palpatine's grandkid via some sort of nonsensical cloning plot. It's not the worst thing in the ST but I do think it's emblematic of why it's bad. Signifier without substance. Derivative *and* gutless. Tried to rip off ESB without understanding how the Vader reveal works as a narrative beat, gave Sheev spawn, and didn't even have enough courage of their convictions to admit that he fucks.
Like we all know Vader spent two decades pining gloomily after Padmé. But Palpatine? Sheev Palpatine? The guy whose two modes are smiling smug self-satisfied secret smiles to himself and crowing POWER, UNLIMITED POWER? The guy who cackles with maniacal relish anytime he gets to let his hair down and have a lightsaber fight? That guy is a hedonist. Tell me I'm wrong. That man is at all times enjoying the hell out of being irredeemably evil. He is a literal emperor, the vastly powerful and mostly unchallenged ruler of the galaxy, reveling in a victory he spent many years plotting and scheming for. And they had to invent some half-assed narrative afterthought of a cloning program rather than simply allowing us to assume that at some point in the two+ decades between ROTS and ROTJ, that man got laid? The cowardice. The incompetence. The sheer commitment to taking every conceivable L

i know for a fact that after finally reuniting the starklings sleep in bran’s room on a bunch of furs spread around for like a month because they’re freak out about losing each other. They all have insane nightmares and sleeping problems so they keep waking up to stare at each like owls and some how bran is always awake and jon wants to snuggle with ghost but he keeps abandoning him to sleep on bran’s bed or between the girls and when arya is listing her names they keep interrupting to talk about people they killed or saw die or people they want dead and she pretends to be pissed off but she enjoys being with her siblings and feeling understood. Initially she would be like: oh sansa won’t like if i keep talking about people i want to kill before bed every night and sansa is like: hey can you add a few names to your list for me? i have some people i want dead and detailed descriptions of the levels of suffering each of them deserve, do you want a spreadsheet? i can invent fantasy microsoft excel right now

DP x DC Idea
ok hear me out- Ghost King Jason Todd. Bear with me a tick.
At the end of the first millennium of his rule, Pariah Dark was required and compelled by Zone Law to name an heir should he retire or shatter. (Not that anyone expected him to do either.) Still, it was a law of the zone itself, and it needled at his core worse than the Observants and their constant prattling.\
So, eventually, he grew annoyed enough by it that he declared his heir to be a liminal being. If that wasn’t controversial enough, he picked a random name that had yet to popularize in the mortal world, specified that the death was a violent one, and the death date? The death date was just numbers he happened to glance at in the moment, with the year set thousands of years away from the time the heir was named.
Pariah Dark figured, what are the chances someone with this name, of liminal nature, will die on this random date? Well, he knew of Clockwork (maybe knew him well, even), and knew there was always some slim chance. Still, he figured he could simply find his presumed heir and destroy him before he could try to claim the throne.
He didn’t expect to be locked up in the Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep.
When he’s freed during Reign Storm and notices the date, it’s one of his priorities to send a lookout for the random kid who would happen to be his heir. Danny and co. lock him up before he receives any information, and that ends up being kind of that.
There’s discussion in the Zone after that, about a potential ruler. Some think right-by-conquest applies, but others argue the technicalities of the matter - Danny did not act alone, did not beat Pariah Dark without help. Thus, it doesn’t count as Conquest (though it does put him in the high recommendations for the next king’s knight). There begins the questioning then: did Pariah Dark ever declare an heir? Few were left who remembered such a thing, but it was confirmed that he had indeed, though the information about said heir was scant and somewhat inconsistent. One story said the heir’s name was Jackson, and that he died tragically; another called him Jensen and claimed he still lived. So the search began, with inconsistent clues. Any place in the mortal realm with enough ectoplasm to sustain a ghost was a potential hiding place for the heir. They started in Amity Park and spread to other towns and cities. Some ghosts sought out newly dead that had died the day Pariah was locked back up again.
But who’d’ve thought to connect that the same day the sarcophagus locked again, a boy named Jason Todd rose from his grave?

I’m putting it out here now. I better not see any team black or Daemon girlies suddenly love Aemond Targaryen when he gets hot and crazy. Y’all were cheering when he got mutilated as a ten year old boy. And therefore don’t get to like him in the future.
Y’all chose your crazy Targaryen man and he’s a misogynistic, evil person who has committed domestic violence and killed his wife, insults women because of their looks, cheats on his wives, ignores his daughters while they mourn their dead mother, laughs at his wife’s funeral, laughs at the expense of his “true love” and revels in her being in danger, grooms children, and is all around a woman hater and disrespecter.
Meanwhile, Aemond is actually good to women (as far as we know this far and from the book). He defended his sister against Aegon and respects her, wears an eyepatch so he doesn’t scare the ladies at court with his scars, and he’s most likely going to be devoted to his girl Alys Rivers, the witch queen of Harrenhal.

Alicent’s compassion towards Dyana gives me so much joy. And her yelling at Aegon once again *chefs kiss*
Any scene where Viserys was speaking made my heart heavy bro I legit had to hold my chest because I was so distraught, and his FACE. Yeah I cried shut up.
Aemond wanted all the smoke and I was here for it, Helaena can do no wrong she is so cute and weird and she’s my daughter and I love her, and it was nice to see Otto smile for a change.
There’s so much about this episode that I love and after seeing the preview for the next episode I literally started sobbing because I knew it was going to be so fucking fire GIVE ME MORE
HOWEVER, there was a lack of Larys and it disheartened me a little bit BUT OTHERWISE THIS WAS AN AMAZING EPISODE
