Hannibal (2013-2015)
1x01 - “Apéritif”
I am Nevin Al-Sir, I live in Gaza, I am 27 years old, I used to work as an accountant in an accounting firm, I am married and have a child, I was also pregnant during the war, the war on Gaza, and when the evacuation order came from our area in Gaza, we fled through the corridor that the occupation lied to us about and the safe corridor was a disaster. We walked on foot, the longest distance I have ever walked in my life. I was displaced to a tent with the rest of my family, and it was very difficult, tiring and exhausting. Every time there was an evacuation in the southern areas, I was forced to evacuate again to a worse tent. Then I gave birth to my child in a field hospital because the hospitals were out of service. I gave birth to my son in the winter, the cold and the war together, which did not destroy my house and my tent. Now we live in a tent, me, my mother, my father, my husband, my brothers, my sisters and their children, and I need your support to try to survive.

You'd be absolutely right.
and if i said aging down alicent and aging up rhaenyra annoyed me because it completely whitewashes the sansa/cersei parallels so all alicent gets is the sad, palatable parts of cersei and all of rhaenyra's sansa-ness is completely scrubbed from her personality what then
im in a constant state of ‘would feel better if in a forest’
I’ve always found it funny how people argue that “a bastard can’t be a king” or “a bastard can’t inherit” when it comes to Rhaenyra’s sons (officially recognized as Velaryons)—even though they’re publicly acknowledged by her and Laenor as legitimate heirs. But when it’s Jon, suddenly anything is possible. Somehow, he’s seen as having a stronger claim to the throne (and dragons) than Daenerys or even Young Griff, despite his status as a bastard.
And that is why I say fuck the lot of them. (It certainly helps them to believe Rhaegar raped Lyanna or at least just kidnapped her, and that she--unike Rhaenyra--was never a passive nor active claimant for leadership despite any laws they'd try to bring up and her own will was never a part of how Jon came to be.)
Daemon went to his death absolutely willingly.
After getting a letter from Rhaenyra stating she no longer trusted him. And then he went to prove his loyalty to her. A letter that took the joy from his eyes. A letter that Rhaenyra sends in response to paranoia driven by Mysaria that also leads to Addam Velaryon choosing to prove his loyalty too. I mean seriously do people even read that part of the book ?
So much of the pushback against Daemon’s love for Rhaenyra — and like I’m talking before the show; from the book — is people who just don’t want Rhaenyra to be loved in that way. They don’t want her to have a husband that put his loyalty to her above everything.
The “he didn’t want her” or “he cheated” narrative is never really about Daemon at least from what I’ve seen. It’s always about what that says about Rhaenyra and her “undesirability”.
Everything, even the whole 'Daemon loved Laena more' is about Rhaenyra. It's about Rhaenyra not being good enough for them, it's about Rhaenyra having flaws, it's about them hating her and not wanting her to be loved. They hate that Daemon loved her. They hate her because she is a woman with ambition and flaws and for that they want everyone to not put her first. It's all about misogyny.
Dorne and house Martell week > day 3: favorite pre-series era Dornish(wo)man
Princess Elia Nymeros Martell was the fourth child and first daughter born to the ruling Unnamed Princess of Dorne, and the second surviving infancy after Doran. Born a month premature, her health was always delicate. Elia was said to be beautiful, slender with black eyes. She was gentle, kind and clever with a sweet wit. Born about a decade after Doran but one year before Oberyn, she was particularly close to her younger brother. Elia and Crown Prince Rhaegar Targaryen were betrothed in 279 AC and married the year after. Their marriage, although not romantic, seemed happy. Two children were born of their union: Rhaenys and Aegon, but the pregnancies strongly affected her health. Set up on his prophecy quest, Rhaegar humiliated her by crowning 16-year old Lyanna Stark Queen of Love and Beauty at the Tourney of Harrenhal, and then, by sparking Robert’s Rebellion following his kidnapping of Lyanna. During Robert’s Rebellion, she was kept with her children at King’s Landing by King Aerys II as hostages to prevent Dornish betrayal and to blackmail Kingsguard Lewyn Martell. She was murdered, alongside her children, during the Sack of King’s Landing by Gregor Clegane.
there’s something so special to me about the casual intimacy (both physical and emotional) of the stark family. robb carrying bran to his horse. bran holding robb’s hand to comfort him. jon ruffling arya’s hair and pushing her around and her laughing and pushing him right back. ned hugging sansa and arya in front of the entire king’s court. they’re always thinking about each other and missing each other. the kids cry and fight and play and are kids, and ned and catelyn are kind to one another, and it’s beautiful. it’s so warm, so human, in contrast with the coldness of other familial relationships in the book.
Probably off somewhere misusing free willFree palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸
