Heyy!! What are your thoughts on Jaeherys and Alysanne's daughters?

well when your father looks at you and only sees an incarnation of his own sister-wife because you were put on this earth for him to groom into a future child bride for his sons or summarily disposed of it is a bit of a crazymaking situation.

I think the reason Jaehaerys acted inexplicably genuinely shocked every single time one of his teenage daughters got to marrying age and someone suggested that they get married was because he thought that he was going to be the only man in their lives forever because there is something deeply wrong with him. and then their mom is arranging these crazyass matches with older men to live vicariously through them because she never got to choose a partner, so it really is just a complete and total psychosexual codependency enmeshment nightmare.

-think something had to be extremely wrong with valyrian tradwife never allowed to develop an independent identity Alyssa below the surface. because being named the golden child by responding positively to the grooming telling you to peg your brother and wanting to birth him an entire army of sons before dying at 23 definitely speaks to….something. where else do daemon‘s mommy issues come from

-Daella exists to be a victim and dies giving birth to her daughter who also exists to be a victim. sacrificial lamb parthenogenesis.

-Maegelle got out of everything else simply by being conceived with the explicit intention of being a living tithe. somehow the least crazy situation on this list. 

-I don’t know whether or not it is intentional that Saera is written exhibiting so many of the behaviors indicative of being a CSA victim. hypersexual alcoholic dysregulated fifteen year-old being held down and forced to watch her father chop her boyfriend in half by her mom‘s codependent female bodyguard is an experience you could throw the entire works of Sigmund Freud at and come up lacking. i hope lys was nice.

-Viserra being exiled for absorbing too much of the Targaryen grooming background radiation and getting falling down drunk at 15 before making a move on her brother. this just keeps happening to them. I’m sure it’s a coincidence. insane that Alysanne really felt like she was competing with her own daughter here because I know she was a #boymom with baelon and aemon.

-I think it’s interesting how no one mentions Gael ever again after she kills herself and no one seems to think of her at all given the fact that she’s daemon’s age and presumably would’ve interacted with any of the grandkids. I know it’s because textually she’s just an afterthought, but I think it would be interesting if her yellow wallpaper ass existence and the fact that she is basically a pet for her mother her entire life just sort of renders her posthumously unspeakable. no one wants to talk about what happened to her.

In your mind Who was the father of Gaels stillborn child? A random Singer? A Kingsguard? One Of her brothers? Jaehaerys himself?

if i wanted to be messy i could say well isn’t it kind of weird daemon who was gael’s same age did get unceremoniously and unwillingly married off far far away to the vale right around that time as arranged by queen alysanne gael’s codependent mother herself.

but really i don’t think it matters the whole point to me if there even is a point beyond her single paragraph of flavor text is that she is so isolated and no one knows her at all for her whole life that even the circumstances surrounding her decision to end it are hidden and obscured until both of her parents die years later.

Hello, If Bloodraven was alive during the Dance, do you think he'd have a dragon? Id if so, what dragon do you think he'd have?

i really think that bloodraven’s personality and relationship with power is fundamentally shaped by being kind of an underdog in that he is a bastard, he’s albino which people treat him very badly for, and I think he sees himself as the only person willing to do what needs to be done at the cost of everyone hating him (whether it actually needs to be done is another question.) As a result he consolidates power very quietly. He’s a trickster. He has to be planning and plotting because that sort of might makes right approach is not something that is ever going to fully work for him. Because of all of that I think having a dragon would change him so significantly that he wouldn’t be recognizably bloodraven anymore. So, none.

could not log off for the week i am WEAK!!! i kept wanting to check dms....

i know i said id log off and i did but i had to go see lexiiicon's art again and then i saw braime stuff adn you know how i am with braime. i swear im logging off for real now i swear for real

no im not even kidding ive just seen a TikTok that appears to reason that Jaime and Brienne are sexually attracted to each other but in a platonic way. that they are into each other but incompatible with intimacy it would be wrong for them. they are a romantic beauty and the best but in a platonic way. DO YOU PEOPLE UNDERSTAND HOW RIDICULOUS YOU SOUND I CANT DO THIS ANYMORE

Nothing annoys me more than when people say Jaime and Brienne are “so pure” that their relationship would be ruined by sex.

Like, what planet are you on? They’re not pure, they’re utter filth.

They try to have a sword fight, but end up having a metaphorical sex scene that is all swords kissing, forwards backwards, blood on thigh, straddling.

Jaime tells Brienne his great secret and she’s like *he looked so hot in that bath, couldn’t tell you a word he said but he looked smoking*.

Jaime goes within four feet of some slightly tepid water and he’s like *do you remember Brienne naked in that bath? Cos I sure do!*

They both try to think about normal things and then *unbidden* they’re both thinking about each other in conjunction with sex and babiez.

Like, where is the purity?

LOGGING OFF FOR THE WEEK

Sorry, I don't make the rules: over-emphasis on religious celibacy is always going to make a man a little bit more desirable. Playing hard to get on an institutional scale.
