rachel zegler is so much better than me because if i had to work with a literal war criminal who can't act for shit and a movie that used cgi dwarves and had a poorly written script and then was blamed for the failure of the movie because i had the guts to say free palestine despite being the only saving grace of the film, i would 100% crash out

You really got down to the core of what bothers me with how the fandom discusses this topic. Instead of what's actually happening, which is this behaviour being normalized in their society it's treated like an individual's predatory behaviour/sexual perversion when the former is just so much more fucked up.
i hate “pedophilia” in almost all cases it’s used in but it’s especially frustrating to me here because the culturally normative eroticization of young women is not an individual pathology but a master key to westerosi society’s particular system of gendered subjugation. men are really into pubescent virgin girls because of a social system where the total control of women’s reproductive capacity and thus sexuality by men, fathers and then husbands, is the foundation of the ordering hierarchy of a society obsessed with passing on property and power through the male line. young girls are idealized erotic objects because they are “untouched” by other men and easier to achieve various forms of emotional mastery over to make easier the social mastery that is integral to uncontested patriarchal succession by blood; the social mastery makes emotional mastery inevitable; that social and emotional mastery means that young women are available to be used sexually by men without regards for their own wishes or agency or sexual fulfillment. its feminism 101 shit and frameworks like “pedophilia” discard it to make it about individual creeps. it’s frustrating in modern contexts too; the secret to csa is largely not the aberrant desire for children but that the domination of children by adults is still a structuring hierarchy of society and that this is processed erotically and the subordination of children is both used by people for unethical sexual satisfaction and that sexual violence is used to further subordinate children.

“so lucerys / jaehaerys / rhaenys died for nothing?”
that’s the point that’s the point that’s the entire fucking point - in the book as well!! there was never any POINT!! there is never going to be a winner here!!
rhaenyra will die, aegon will die, alicent and daemon and jace and aemond and helaena will die. for nothing. because the end of this will be a broken, traumatised, dead-inside eleven year old aegon iii on the iron throne with an eight year old jaehaera for a wife who commits suicide at the age of ten, two years after being forced to marry the broken king.
the dance of the dragons is a dragon eating its own tail. it’s all for nothing and no one wins.
seeing a post i made yesterday: no one should have this much access to previous versions of themselves

the fact that there is a “aegon ii targaryen is not a rapist” ao3 tag (he is canonically a rapist) with hundreds of works is pretty grim to me. i don’t mind the underlying phenomenon in isolation - just ignoring the fact a hot guy is a perpetrator of sexual violence because you are hot for him and want to write fic that’s enjoyable to you - like whatever, it’s not that serious even if i am not into it. but there is something deeply sinister in the fact that there is a whole like. fic culture about leeching that from the story and character and signaling that neutralization for comfort and pleasure. as far as i’m aware there isn’t an equivalent for any other character so that kind of wins.
A war being mutually destructive and devastating =/= both sides being equally in the wrong. The Dance progressed to a point that victory couldn't be anything but phyrric and the two factions came undone yet that doesn't preclude us from identifying the agressor and the victim. Who drove the realm to war by contesting the claim of the named heir, by explicitly going against the will of the monarch, by holding their coup in the dead of night and leaving the king's body to rot in order to preserve secrecy ? By murdering a prince under the peace banner, by allowing and applauding treachery and oathbreaking ? Intent matters. Acknowledging that conflicts aren't always a result of some inherent moral wrongness on both sides despite how the toll of war may deteriorate the participants also matters. The original will and motivation of the people involved is not made meaningless by the cost and evil of war. In the end, that's what's worth remembering.
Edit: Anon lifted @desaretaa’s twitter thread about this.
Exactly.
If that wasn’t enough, GRRM made it obvious in the story as the Greens' bloodline went extinct when Aegon II was killed, but not the Blacks'. Viserys II, son of Rhaenyra and Daemon, was succeeded by his son Aegon IV. Aegon IV was succeeded by his son Daeron II. Daeron II was succeeded by his son Aerys I. Aerys I was succeeded by his brother Maekar. Maekar was succeeded by his son Aegon V. Aegon V was succeeded by his son Jaeherys II. Jaeherys II was succeeded by his son Aerys II, who had a daughter with Rhaella named Daenerys Targaryen. Dany is Nyra’s descendant. It’s not a coincidence, there’s a message here guys about the fact Rhaenyra’s bloodline is still alive in the ASOIAF novels.
attributing all failings of house targaryen to 'rot' they have inherited from their valyrian ancestors, to me, feels one metaphor away from interpreting generations of one family as ontologically predisposed to ruin. i understand the intent here is to speak of the general decline of their monarchical power, but dynastic declines don't happen in a vacuum because of there being something specifically, inherently wrong with one family. they're all actors within a violently misogynistic, feudal society. this obviously isn't an extraordinary observation, and discussions involving other noble houses get this, yet when it comes to the targaryens everything has to be chalked up to 'valyrian supremacy'. sorry but i don't think this achieves anything beyond simply moralising their behaviour in itself without recognising how it has been influenced and enabled by westerosi society.
