It's funny to me that certain fandoms have a common enemy and most times it's either the author themselves or the showrunner😂😂😂😂 Dramione =Jkr public enemy #1 and Bellarke The 100 =JRoth public enemy#2. We know why we hate them I ain't gonna explain that.
We had fun narrowing down Moira Rose’s wigs for the past 5 weeks and you have spoken (through voting on @unboiled’s instastory).
Moira’s pastel pink “rocker” wig 👩🏻🎤 outlasted the competition to be SIMPLY THE BEST — oh, and because we love alliteration, you can call this: The Wackiest Wig 🙌
What franchise should we do a bracket for next? Let us know in the comments. 👇
I just wanted to give a huge shout out to Merakii designs. They can be found on Etsy, tik tok, Instagram and Twitter. They write personalized comfort character letters and I just wanted to show how much I loved mine. It came with not only the letter but a postcard, 2 Polaroids, an Eddie playlist, and I got hit guitar pick. You can get them for other characters in stranger things like Steve or Robin or any comfort character. Even from other fandoms if you want. Just something cute I thought others on tumblr might be interested in.

Seven of my #eccc arts framed and ready to hang! Seven to go! (Actually six? One thing to hang is a poster from China) #fandomlife #lookattheart #itsamazing https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpl6piCL2rI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
OH MY CHUCK, have you seen the Winchesters from Supernatural?! They are like the hottest, coolest, most badass demon-hunting brothers EVER! Sam is like a giant, brainy teddy bear, while Dean is like a leather-jacket-wearing, muscle-car-driving, karaoke-singing, macho man. And let's not forget their angelic friend Cas, who is like a walking, trenchcoat-wearing meme. Together, they battle the forces of evil, including vampires, werewolves, ghosts, demons, and even God. Yes, you heard that right, God. If you haven't watched Supernatural yet, what are you even doing with your life? Go binge-watch it now, and join the Winchester fandom, or else we'll hunt you down! 🔪😈
I saw this confession in regard to fans casting indigenous actors for House Stark: tumblr(.)com/fandomlife-confessions/738947497242869760 and I do agree. It did get me thinking about whether or not making House Velaryon black was a good idea. Especially when Aegon III’s children will be black.
I have my own issues with the First Men being framed as indigenous. I cannot actually remember if I have gotten it out anywhere else but I'll summarise it here.
I find the Starks/First Men being indigenous (in the story) problematic because that narrative erases those who sing the song of the earth, the giants and all the other old races who fought, bled and died to keep their home/land. I have a lot of issues with Game of Thrones' portrayal of the old races and I could rant about it for hours but that's not the point of this ask.
To your point, I have repeatedly argued here and elsewhere that making the Velaryon the Black House™ was a decision that lacked forethought. It is a textbook example of benevolent racism, superficial visuals and the emptiness of the diversity movement.
I'm not sure what you mean by the last part but to be honest, I truly believe that the show is going to erase Daenaera to push some bullshit the greens and the blacks made peace with Jaehaera and Aegon the Sad's marriage. So, I don't think the Blackness of Aegon's kids will ever be an issue.
I think some aspects are a bit jumping the shark, but I can see Alicent voice regret Helaena didn’t marry Jace and I can also see her help Rhaenyra as an advisor.
Oof okay, the confession definitely enters...fanfic territory and (as you've said) jumps the shark, but I'll try to address the points that concern S2.
Guilt for Luke's death = I think what will cause Alicent's guilt will be shock; it's so early on in the war, that the death of a Targaryen prince and his dragon by the hands of her favoured son would provoke a reaction from most people.
Become disillusioned = This is a biiiit OOC for her, she might have regrets, but I just can't see her become completely disillusioned.
Realising she gains nothing from the patriarchy = I don't think Alicent will...ever realise that. She's a product of her environment and how she was raised, and I don't think she'll ever quite reach that stage.
Quest for Rhaenyra's forgiveness = Rather than forgiveness, I think what will lead her to Dragonstone will be desperation; perhaps this is the last and final attempt Alicent will ever try at peace before she realises that nothing can be done. The realm is at war.
Helaena and Jace = I can't see Alicent admitting to that, and her reasons for refusing were valid. With Helaena, TB have a hostage, and Alicent would never regret NOT putting her only girl in danger for a half measure.
Advisor Alicent = I've got no idea; it really depends how that Dragonstone conversation goes, but I really don't think Alicent would assist or advise Rhaenyra. I think Alicent would try and settle her guilt and choose peace, not continue the war and aid the people attempting to kill her family.
Overall, I've got no clue what S2 is cooking up for my war wives, and all of my thoughts could mean nothing by the end of the season.
Now that my boxes have arrived, I can put the rest of my pins up. Combo of the ones from China and the ones from #eccc this past weekend. This new collecting habit is entirely @ndfirish20 ‘s fault (love you, babe! Lol). #pinsofinstagram #pincollection #fandomlife #nerdlife #geeklife https://www.instagram.com/p/CplXxoKvnKC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
