[mummer]

the take that “actually the blacks won the dance of the dragons because their bloodline got the throne hehe” has always been very funny to me because the entire point of aegon iii is to ask: who cares? what did it matter? what was it all for? misery and tragedy, pointless mass death, everyone alone and betrayed and caged, a king like his land and his people: ravaged, broken, a shell. and nothing was fixed. and nothing was solved. no revolution made, no justice served, just fields of dead and charred bones and a sad sad little boy. the point— if that’s what winning is, why play?

#hotd has the chance to deliver on the pointlessness so hard. i love you tragedy. #like all the show has to do. at all. is successfully build up to a crucial moment where you realize every single character is asking #why did we do this? what was the point? what would have been enough? #but theyve all gone too far now. and theres no way out #hotd #asoiaf #youre reading the anti war books and cheering on the war 💔 #thinking about aegon iii wanting nothing and wandering around the palace looking at the stars. rn
