They're so angry Nettles is coming now they want to say she's not black oml

They’ve been saying this for months now sadly 🤦🏽‍♀️ Scratch that. Some of them have tried to whitewash Nettles for years now 😗:

Only the one made in 2013 has an “excuse” because there was no official artwork of her yet, but even then she is described as having brown skin in The Princess and the Queen so🤷🏽‍♀️

The rest 😬 You could make the argument that they didn’t know about the Dance lore DVD , but that came out in early 2016 and if you knew about Nettles enough to draw her you should’ve seen that video where she looks like this:

(Even little ole me, a person who was only able to get through Fire & Blood early last year after attempting to read it in late 2020, has known about that lore video for 7 years now☺️).

I will say that ever since the show ended, the attempted race-bending has gotten worse.

Prior to HOTD (2-10 years ago) most of the fandom(minus the people drawing Nettles as a tan non-Black woman or just straight-up white and that one fancast 🙃) acknowledged that Nettles was at least Blackish cause the actresses they used in their fancasts for her were Black or Blackish 🤷🏽‍♀️:

Hell, go on Reddit and everyone wanted Zendaya to play her:

This is a terrible pick for so many reasons, but still better than what they are doing now🫠

Now it seems like the only way they can cope with Nettles being on the show is to imagine her being completely non-Black(and insisting she’s in Blackface cause in 2023 HBO would definitely be able to get away with that without facing 0 backlash 👍🏽).

I blame this switch in large part on Dumbnyra’s deranged rabidly racist fanbase who somehow thought HOTD was going to cater to their every whim and demand, axe Nettles(or make her into a child or a sexless mammy figure which is why they cried about her potential actress wearing a dress😚), and give them their great white incest ship after they “screwed over” Jonerys 🤣🤣🤣

They are butthurt, refuse to relate to Nettles cause of her race(which is why some have tried to whitewash her for years), and they definitely don’t want to see a Negro with Daemon. So they’ve stooped to starting an aggressive race-bending campaign🤷🏽‍♀️

When that doesn’t work they’ll put all their energy into saying how Daemon and Nettles are better off staying platonic pals in s3 🙃

And if HBO does give us Dettles(and doesn't try to pull some more racist bs) then they’ll just start labeling Nettles a whore and saying how evil she is to “steal” Daemon away from his family🤷🏽‍♀️ All while having mental breakdowns every five seconds, endlessly making more gifs/edits of that dry beach scene another million times, and putting in the tags/comments “what we had before the dirty Jezebel showed up”🤣

It’s funny and sad at the same time, but besides wanting an non-Black woman to be in Blackface, there is nothing new to see here🤷🏽‍♀️

20 Questions: Writer’s Edition

Tagged by @muttpeeta @nadja-antipaxos @rayondeneige @hot-auntie-dany & @jupiterix thank you 🤍

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

41 oop...

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

329727 not bad not bad

3. How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

1 so far, which is jonerys obvi 😚

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

For the Cameras

Meet Me Halfway

My One

The Night Train to Winterfell

Two Days

5. Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

Absolutely. Because as a reader I get super giddy and excited when an author replies to me, so I can only hope I have the same effect on my readers 🥰 Plus they took actual time out of their day to leave me that comment. Replying is the least I can do!

6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

I really thought about this and nothing comes to mind. I think that somehow I've managed to not have angsty endings? Don't get me wrong, I love angst, and I'll bury you in it. But I usually resolve it in the ending so that you still get a sort of HEA. I think season 8 of GoT left me so jaded, I wouldn't want my fics to have that kind of painful ending. At most I'll do an open ending. It might also stem from the fact that this year I accidentally read some fics with very angsty endings and honestly one of them was so sad it left me pretty much a mess and I didn't trust that author again 😂 so as much as I love angst...I try to not write angsty endings.

7. What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

It has to be ...you'll find the real thing instead —it was a pretty cheesy ending 🤭

8. Do you write crossovers? If yes, what’s the craziest thing you’ve written?

I adore them...but they have to be done right, you know. The craziest one I did has to be Scorching Bloodlust because I don't think anyone wanted A World of Warcraft Jonerys AU yet I decided it needed to exist anyway 😂

9. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Unfortunately it has become a rite of passage in this fandom... If I remember correctly it was on two fics. The fic that attracted a lot of incels and mean comments was Suburban Thrills. Apparently some people were mad at me for writing Dany as being married to Dr*go in this modern AU. I even got called a "r*pe apologist* for it... when in reality they were mostly mad that Jon was just a pool boy, while Dany was the rich and powerful one. The other thing they were mad about was that the fic contains a Dany/Dr*go smut scene, which apparently was hotter than the jonerys one 🤣. Allegedly. There was this comment that legit sounded more like "how dare you make me find them hot???" Seems like some people don't understand the concept of voyeurism 😃...

The other fic that got me hate was Inevitable. Again this fic has Dany being with someone else before Jon, and obviously this is wrong since how dare she even look at a man who's not Jon Snow 🙄🙄.

You can clealry see a theme with the hate comments I was getting on both fics.

10. Do you write smut? If so what kind?

Do I? DO I??? *looks at the numerous pwp fics I've written* all kinds tbh. I have a short list of squicks. The rest is fair game. Check out the tags on my fics, I like trying new things in fics all the time 🤭

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I hope not. Not that I know of, in any case. I have friends in other fandoms who had entire fics posted on other websites and it is the most horrible thing to experience as a writer. There was however a situation maybe a little over a year ago, but it turned out to be an entirely different thing on top of low key stealing my fic lmao. Such a wild story, the proof is somewhere on my blog... I still can't believe that happened 🥴 seems like a lifetime ago.

Now, if we're talking about fic concepts and certain elements... yep 🙃🙃🙃🙃 (and no, I don't mean tropes). Lately t's become an entire thing across the board and unfortunately not much can be done about it. Which is sad in such a small fandom, especially when I see how things are in bigger ones. Guess some people think that just because it's fanfic, everything is fair game, yet they forget we all have our grain of originality we put into our fics. Just because we're all writing fics doesn't mean you're less of a dick if you take something you know someone else came up with in that fandom and pass it off as your own. The concept of giving credit as a courtesy seems to have been lost, along with so many other things that we all thought were common sense and fandom etiquette. As always, fanfic writing is shunned to the side and considered as the least original thing in fandoms, when it's not the case at all. But that's a bigger debate, too long and complicated for this post. At the end of the day, it is what it is, I guess 🙃 but it has definitely turned me off some of the very things I used to love

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope, I don't think our fandom does this, it's too small for it.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic?

Yep, quite a few 🤭:

For the Cameras with @muttpeeta

The Wrong Impression of the Right One with @tomakeitbeautifultolive & @thescarletgarden1990

Moonlight with @tomakeitbeautifultolive

If its the last thing I do with @thescarletgarden1990

Blood Runs Cold with @tomakeitbeautifultolive

The girl in my story has always been you with @thescarletgarden1990

The Perks of Being a Good Boy with @thescarletgarden1990

14. What’s your all time favourite ship?

It's too hard to pick, but jonerys is pretty much my obsession and they consume most of my thoughts

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

Oof I really wanna try to finish them all!

16. What’s your writing strengths?

Aesthetics. Setting up a certain mood or vibe. I'm pretty good at descriptions in general tbh. Oh and I've been told I'm good at transition scenes.

17. What’s your writing weaknesses?

Dialogue 😭. I always feel like I can never be as good as others, so when it comes to scenes that are important to me, dialogue intimidates me. I always work 4x as much on dialogue than I do on anything else.

18. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in fic?

Love it. I'd do it more often tbh if I knew others liked it too!

19. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Jonerys 😌

20. What’s your favourite fic you’ve written?

I cheated and picked 2 absolute faves:

Paint My Soul Anew —maybe because I'm very happy with how the prompt turned out. I think I managed to pack so much plot in such a short fic.

And, of course, our souls, intertwined —there are just so many things I love about this fic I'll never stop loving it tbh 🤭
