Do we think "Israel" brazenly bragging about not allowing humanitarian aid through the border will be enough for people to stop scolding Gazans for making individual/family fundraisers because "it's better to donate to trusted orgs instead" or are they never going to get it?
Have you ever felt like Martin doesn't like Cersei? The way he writes about her made me question? I mean she is both evil and stupid and it seems like we are supposed to laugh at her.
Cersei is pretty evil, and while I don't believe she's stupid, it's hard not to laugh (incredulously or otherwise) at her many, many bad ideas over the course of the series. Especially in AFFC.
But it's also clear to me that GRRM has compassion for this villain he's created - and that he has right from the start.
Let's put this under a cut for domestic violence and sheer length.
Ned touched her cheek gently. "Has he done this before?" "Once or twice." She shied away from his hand. "Never on the face before. Jaime would have killed him, even if it meant his own life." Cersei looked at him defiantly. "My brother is worth a hundred of your friend." Eddard XII, AGoT
GRRM chooses to frame the pivotal confrontation between Ned and Cersei with the reality of the domestic violence Cersei has experienced. Whatever else happens in that scene, whatever else she's done that might or might not be justified, the author makes sure the reader knows, Ned knows, that Cersei has good reason to hate Robert.
When she hesitated, then sat, Tyrion knew she was lost, despite her loud declaration of, "I will not marry again!" "You will marry and you will breed. Every child you birth makes Stannis more a liar." Their father's eyes seemed to pin her to her chair. Tyrion III, ASoS
This is re-emphasised as Tyrion witnesses Tywin's abuse of Cersei. Even Tyrion, who also has good reason to hate Cersei, cannot help but see how their father completely ignores Cersei's desires, reduces her autonomy to rubble, and above all makes her feel small. This is quite deliberately in Tyrion's PoV to make that dissonance stronger. Cersei is awful, but Tyrion can take no satisfaction in Tywin mistreating her.
Similarly,
His sister sat in a puddle of wine, cradling her son's body. Her gown was torn and stained, her face white as chalk. A thin black dog crept up beside her, sniffing at Joffrey's corpse. "The boy is gone, Cersei," Lord Tywin said. He put his gloved hand on his daughter's shoulder as one of his guardsmen shooed away the dog. "Unhand him now. Let him go." She did not hear. It took two Kingsguard to pry loose her fingers, so the body of King Joffrey Baratheon could slide limp and lifeless to the floor. Tyrion VIII, ASoS
Cersei's grief over watching her son murdered in front of her is a key character moment for her. Is Joffrey a good person? No. Is Cersei's immediate response of demanding Tyrion's arrest a good and just idea? No. Is that grief still real? Absolutely.
It was more than Cersei could stand. I cannot let them see me cry, she thought, when she felt the tears welling in her eyes. She walked past Ser Meryn Trant and out into the back passage. Alone beneath a tallow candle, she allowed herself a shuddering sob, then another. A woman may weep, but not a queen. Cersei III, AFFC
That lasts. It's not healthy but it is genuine. The author isn't putting this in here so we laugh at her. The author is putting this here to help us remember throughout the parade of evil and stupid crap Cersei's about to do that Cersei is a human with human emotions.
And when all that crap has backfired on Cersei, the author makes sure we know that the punishment inflicted on her is not for her sins but instead for her biological sex. He shows her break from that treatment.
Words are wind, she thought, words cannot hurt me. I am beautiful, the most beautiful woman in all Westeros, Jaime says so, Jaime would never lie to me. Even Robert, Robert never loved me, but he saw that I was beautiful, he wanted me. She did not feel beautiful, though. She felt old, used, filthy, ugly. Cersei II, ADWD
The walk of shame is just misogyny, pure and simple, nothing to do with what Cersei's actually done wrong. It is deliberately not karma out to get Cersei. It is deliberately not comeuppance. It is a reminder that Cersei has a point all those times when she points out she's been treated differently because of her sex - even if it's not the whole of the reason people don't respect her.
Even if a reader doesn't think Cersei deserves mercy, even if a reader finds her political bumbling funny, there's a lot around her that shows us that the author wants us to think carefully about what made Cersei both a horrible person and a horrible politician. She is most definitely not there just to be the butt of the author's joke. That's Victarion.
ooohhh when dany gets to the wall and jon and jorah meet.... he has his ANCESTRAL SWORD, he has his FATHER'S LOVE, and now he's trying to steal his GIRL. plus he's ned stark's son. it's about to get messyyy
where the fuck did people get the idea that aegon2 and sunfyre have βthe strongest dragonrider bondβ
this- this is not a thing. it is not in fire&blood. itβs pretty explicitly just something states by the most pro-green F&b source to try and lend more legitimacy and mysticism to aegon2 as a ruler and a targaryen
like, ok, Sunfyre came to Dragonstone βsensing Aegon2βs needβ. β¦ Or, a deeply injured dragon just wanted to go home, to where he hatched, to where dragons thrive best, to try and heal. And even if it WAS thatβ¦ We see that with multiple dragonriders and dragon bonds. We see it with Dany and Drogon- itβs heavily implied with just about everything about Daemon and Caraxes, and none of the sources were ever there to report on Rhaenyra and Syraxβs bond- but itβs not insignificant that Rhaenyra was the youngest dragonrider to known history.
Like, sorry not sorry, but no. Aegon2 does not have the strongest bond. Please reread F&B - because as soon as heβs done crying about the death of the dragon who died due to HIS choices, Aegon states βI shall have a new Sunfyre, prouder and fiercer than the last.β with his intent to hatch an egg. That dragon was a tool to him more than anything else. And thatβsβ¦ deeply sad. Sunfyre deserved so much better than that.
For all that Rhaenyra intended to hatch eggs, she never is reported to start sheβd have a βnewβ or βbetterβ Syrax.

and what if i said thats my baby girl. my cinnamon apple <3
thereβs 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 robbβs hand to comfort him. jon ruffling aryaβs hair and pushing her around and her laughing and pushing him right back. ned hugging sansa and arya in front of the entire kingβs court. theyβre 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 itβs beautiful. itβs so warm, so human, in contrast with the coldness of other familial relationships in the book.
I'm glad more people are on the "hating the way condal and co write alicent" train, but it's a bit funny that people are only now starting to see it for what it is. Unfortunately, this is where it has been heading at least since s1ep8.
Interesting how alicent's "bastard blood shed at war" is a gag or her maybe bathing in the blood of innocents is iconic, metal, you name it. But, rhaenyra's "thank you, father" is a potent of her madness, She wanted aemond sharply questioned? What a cruel bitch!! she would've been worse than maegor himself, good thing she was usurped!! possibly involved in b&c? She deserves everything that happened to her!! Anyone but her for the throne!! Never mind aegon is a rapist or whatever.
aegon and Daenaera enjoying Their time in the godwoods near red keep
Again happy new year and aegonaera day

βi can fix herβ well i think the atrocities make her funny
hai i miss them !!!!!!!!!!!!! ok baii >_<
i think strange and off-putting wylan is the best. you know how he is in those fanfictions where he just. stares. and creeps people out. in the inside, he's having ten different panic attacks, but on the outside it's all just big blue bambi eyes and an entirely unresponsive demeanor. things happen around him and he doesn't react. he doesn't move. he doesn't blink. he just stares. he's weird and there and that's it. jesper instantly needs him carnally and all he did was look at him blankly and ignore him from then on. nina finds him hilarious. matthias finds him a little weird but also the most normal person in the crows. inej gives him a knife to protect himself but he's already got a whole lot of bombs hidden in his little gay satchel that he's told no one about and will bring out in the middle of a random fight where he will romantically lock eyes with jesper and then blow up a bunch of people. kaz glares at him and wylan just looks back without flinching so kaz hires him because how the fuck??? how??
idk i just love off-putting wylan he's my favorite
i just love being lazy iβm sorry i canβt help it like unless a itβs life or death situation why are we expending an insane amount of effort. we could be laying in the grass watching the word go by. take my hand
The sansa stark experience
I don't get the people who says Sansa = Alicent. No my brother in R'hllor, Sansa has this self awakening tragic life shattering journey where she realizes that life is not a song, the system that she lived in is sucks and men can be monsters. She won't support the patriarchy
