no bc i couldn't figure out how to put what i was thinking about everyone dogging on season 2 into words, but this is exactly it

Hot take: I think it's genuinely funny that people are upset about season 2.

Like you're upset that we didn't see Rhaena tame Sheepstealer? That's kind of the point. She's supposed to be exactly the same as Sheepstealer, wild and desperate, and we needed to see how she became on equal footing as the dragon she's meant to tame. You didn't like Daemon at Harrenhal, but his journey was paramount to his character arc. He had to get a bit haunted along the way, but you said that that wasn't your Daemon. Uh, yeah, that was kind of the point.

I feel like this is an instant gratification issue. Disastisfied fans want the ending as soon as possible instead of enjoying excellent storytelling.

And let me tell you, House of the Dragon is excellent storytelling.

Season 2 wasn't bad. You're just impatient.

i am having such a fleabag moment (i feel as though i am living my life incorrectly and i need somebody to tell me what exactly to do, how to feel, who to want because i currently feel unqualified and incapable to make any rational decisions for myself)

“A statue isn’t built from the ground up—it’s chiseled out of a block of marble—and I often wonder if we aren’t likewise shaped by the qualities we lack, outlined by the empty space where the marble used to be. I’ll be sitting on a train. I’ll be lying awake in bed. I’ll be watching a movie; I’ll be laughing. And then, all of a sudden, I’ll be struck by the paralyzing truth: it’s not what we do that makes us who we are. It’s what we don’t do that defines us.”
