This is a slow fandom zone
None of that "Oh no they bomb-dropped all the episodes in a week 1 month ago, I'm late!" "The tag hasn't been active all week is the fandom dead?" "I only got a hundred shares the first hour no one cares about my art"
Slow down
Take a deep breath and slow down
Fandom is YOU. And me and everyone. If we doodle stick figures for a show that ended 30 years ago we aren't "late" or "doing too little", we're playing dolls in our own time and having fun with works of art that mean a lot to us
You can literally watch and engage with something that aired in 2004 as if it aired yesterday
If the tag hasn't been active for 14 months guess what? If YOU post there, it isn't dead. Literally you can talk about anything you want whenever you want there is no weird law against watching things that people aren't actively talk about
Let's be deranged about stories together
“I can’t wait for Lucerys to haunt Aemond at Harrenhall.”
You say that as if he’s not haunted every moment of his pointless little life.
His entire persona is a facade. An act of high performance and winning, but nothing would satisfy him. If he claimed the Iron Throne outright, he wouldn’t be content, his soul ever restless.
He’s an open wound and the entire world can’t fill it.
He goes to the council where Alicent says that his actions were unacceptable, and tells him that he needs to learn to let go, that his past has been avenged. So why doesn’t he?
He went to brothels for comfort and to talk freely about his regret. Regret over what?
He commits a massacre of all the Strongs and their bastards for what? Daemon? Jace? Joffrey?
He picks Strong bastard, Alys Rivers, as a “prize of war” immediately after. With her, he’s clinging onto the last sliver, of what?
His entire existence is a curse.
And when they find his body by Vhagar’s skull, nobody notices that he dies losing an eye, right by his soulmate’s place of death.
Rhaenyra gets the crown...maybe her dad waits to die just a bit longer, they are all there. So Baela and Jace are in their *starry eyed young engaged people* haze. Aegon is...on a sobriety kick because Rhaenyra ordered it. Helaena and Rhaena have bonded and since Rhaena is always with Luke, Helaena is now also always with Luke. (Helaena didn't know so many people could be actively nice to you...) the little twins are also very attached to their new realtives, and with four royal toddlers about it's all hands on deck. Rhaenyra and Helaena are also bonding a bit over being pregnant together.
Aemond wants to kill Lucerys...or...no...no or. He wants his eye!
Rhaena has caught on though, since she listens to Helaena and has decided that needling the man who insulted her and her sister, stole her mother's dragon (it would be one thing if he'd waited just a little but really) and has hated Luke for causing an injury in a fight.
So she pokes at all his sore spots with (totally malicious) glee. Oh yes, she and Luke are all but married, and she has an egg now and it will hatch and likely that hatchling and Arrax might eventually mate and won't it just be lovely how untterly bound she and Luke are?
Helaena...finally in a position to...poke at her brother and well, Luke always attends her and Rhaena at balls, and sees her beyond "something Aegon has".
So she might just join in that the twins are getting so attached to Luke, why, he's taken each out on Arrax already for a first proper flight. (He's also one of the first people to begin undoing some of the over-spoiling Aegon had done on Jaehaerys inparticular...)
Helaena is aware that rumors abound that she's practically Luke's mistress the "way they all act...or his second wife" (Luke wants to know how just...actually speaking to Helaena, and treating her like a human being worth acknowledging beyond her baby making abilities makes him a seducer...)
Poor Luke is standing there with two ladies extolling his vitues and how close they are to him while Aemond is glaring dagger(s) at all three of them, mostly him....and dammit Aemond kinda also wants to be Luke's mistress...or wife....no no he does not... (it all gets worse when Addam arrives at court...) (he's nice to Luke!, Luke smiles at him!)
Daemond thinks he should sort of step in...but it's all really, really funny. Also he'd never realized how much of his little shit self Rhaena had inherited....
"You said I killed you haunt me, then! Be with me always, take any form, drive me mad, only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you." This screams lucemond. 😭
TLK Uhtred/Alfred log (do they have a ship name may i ask)
(He’s thinking about Uhtred’s shabby church in Cocham)
The king himself (aka my pathetic babygirl)

Why am i so obsessed with these two silly stubborn gays
You guys realise that Daemon literally *manifested* a freaking army? Like the dude procrastinated all those episodes (only with the Bracken attempt to gain soldiers) while being in his Silent Hill arc and all he had to do was wait 3 days until a dude died so he could get an army for Rhaenyra? We love this diva 💅 and his goth BFF of course 👌
what they don't tell you is that a well-written fic can get you to ship anything, and i mean ANYTHING. notp? not anymore. you will stay up late thinking about and crying over them for the rest of your life. characters you don't even know from a piece of media you've never engaged with? fuck it, they belong to you now. problematic ship that you loved to hate and now just love to love, that you must never tell your friends about? don't worry, ao3 knows how to keep a secret. like. a well-written fic will have you acting UP and that's a fact baby !!
