#reading every dorne chapter like: why couldn't we have gotten this in the show? 😭

Arianne being excluded from the show was one of the worst decisions D&D made cause it led to the collapse of the Dorne plot, which could've been adapted so well to screen if they had actually cared to put in the effort

#arianne martell #asoiaf #Arianne really is the center of the dornish plot and there wasn't much they could do without her tbh #need more people to put respect on her and the sand snakes cause they outsell a lot of secondary characters #that + excluding Lady Stoneheart so we just got a nonsensical partial mesh of the two which ended up making no sense #and was truly the beginning of the show's decline in quality #reading every dorne chapter like: why couldn't we have gotten this in the show? 😭 #answer: cause D&d were lazy / misogynistic / and didn't want other characters with positive associations with Dany #although on some level I'm glad they didn't include her cause they would've just ruined her character like so many others #think they get a bad wrap cause they were introduced in AFFC but their plot has a much better execution than the iron islands #outside of Asha those chapters are just excruciating to get though + I don't care what anyone says Arianne's chapters are GOOD
