askiheartdandelions: 2/2 It’s wrong on a number of levels. For a start, I like her, but Arya is my main fave after Jon, and I like Cersei and Brienne too. And the fact that they use “sjw” as a pejorative is weird. Is that referring to the fact that we push back at the stupid... Continue Reading →
What could happen, precisely, to the South if Daenerys took all her forces North?
instantbouquetface-me: tatticstudio55: @lakia1250 I’ll tag you here because I know this is a subject you brought up in your latest reblog. Dorne The wildest card of the bunch. Yara’s fleet is gone and the Reach is under a question mark (for now), but we have no idea what’s going on with Dorne. Ellaria and the... Continue Reading →
The conqueror savior fallacy
shipbellarkelikeapsycho: tatticstudio55: I finally put my finger on something that really gnaws at me with the antis’s discourse. Here’s the thing: 1) Most of them will argue that Dany’s invasion of Westeros is unjustified, that nobody wants her in Westeros, that she’s an aggressor motivated at the core by selfish reasons. Westeros doesn’t belong to... Continue Reading →
Why did she do it?
I’ve seen it discussed a lot: Dany barges in the gold road with Drogon and dothraki and completely destroys the Lannister&Tarly forces. They obviously were at a disadvantage and the battle was basically lost before it started… so why did Dany do it? Why bringing out the dragon when it wasn’t even necessary to win?...

repeat-script: GoT 2x10 rewatch I caught a rerun of the last episode of season two on sky, and one scene stood out to me. In it, Brienne, along with her prisoner Jaime, come across the bodies of three women, hanged for consorting with Lannister soldiers. The Northern soldiers who did the deed soon appear, unapologetic,... Continue Reading →
On the matter of PoliticalJ0n and misogyny
Would such a scenario indeed be considered sexist and/or misogynist? Let’s - hypothetically - say that the PJ stans were right, that Jon could see no other way to get Daenerys Targaryen North, was desperate and chose the survival of humanity over the feelings of a girl. So he ate some of Davos’s fermented crab... Continue Reading →
“Dany keep abandoning her people”
My poor @strickland527, I’ve seen you engage in an unfortunate “discussion” with shinynewrevulsion thingy. A fascinating study of Dany hate, that fella. What did she tell you? That Dany was notorious for “abandoning” her people? How lovely. I would’ve answered her directly, but alas, it appears I’m on her blocklist (I recall she even turned that into... Continue Reading →
What do you think of daenerys ordering the execution of every man above the age of 12 in mereen?
instantbouquetface-me: iheartdandelions: infinitestalia: I don’t think highly of Daenerys in any regard whatsoever beyond perhaps AGoT, so nothing good. That line always stood out to me for so many reasons, mostly because it was her great moment of glory and nobody even batted an eyelash at what she was saying. Let’s put aside the impossibility...

You know I’m not going to let Cersei stay on the Iron Throne…
“I never expected that you would” - Jon/Dany chat, 7x03 When I heard those lines for the first time, I never second guessed their meaning. To me, it was just… clear that Dany’s words meant “you know I’m not going to let the woman who murdered your father, drove your little sister into exile, kept your... Continue Reading →
Good queens, bad queen…
NOTHING makes me cringes more than reading stuff that goes like “there’s really no difference between Cersei and Daenerys”, and “in season 7, while C and D were squabbling over the IT, Sansa was the responsible one, ruling the North like a worthy queen should, hence she’s the one who truly deserves to rule.” Uurgh. Stop right... Continue Reading →
