i feel so gross now
i loved anders and his storyline in da2
but knowing now how the writer was using his character and how it perpetuates misinformation and stigma against bipolar disorder makes me wish i had never found out tbh
like i feel genuinely unclean
sigh at least ER did bipolar characters justice by showing how difficult the disease can be for both sides— not just the ones who aren’t struggling with the disease

I will never accept any ending in which dany has to die "for the good of the world", whether it's being treated like a rabid dog in the show (gross) or if she has to somehow sacrifice or martyr herself to stop the Others or whatever, idc I hate that. Like I've heard it said before and I completely agree that there's something Weird and Icky about the idea that Daenerys *has* to die to be a hero but no one ever says that about any of the other main characters? Like I think about the subset of people (*cough*cis white men*cough*) in the fandom who *insist* that Stannis is really [redacted] somehow and they never say that he should sacrifice himself for the sake of the world. When the hero is a man, it's a "subversion" for them to die for the sake of tragedy, but when it's a woman, suddenly she HAS to die because "it's expected" and "the natural conclusion to her arc" like WHAT???? get the fuck out of here
