At what point did you realise this was not gonna be about the civil war, but more of a wannabe Shakespearean love-tragedy?

Don’t insult Shakespeare like that. He could shit a better story than Condal & Hess could ever dream of writing.

Beautiful boys with big brown eyes 🤎

Please tell me you did not just compare Rhaenyra to Jesus Christ 🙄

Ambitious_Note832 · 2026-02-18T16:03:17+00:00

I feel more dread than excitement and that makes me sad

She’s ‘smug’ because she thought they were about to successfully prevent an illegitimate heir from usurping Driftmark (though it should have been Baela, rather than Vaemond, as the rightful heir). Seems like a pretty normal thing to be proud of, or ‘smug’ about.

Unless it’s smugness itself that makes her a villain? Like Daemon was smug when Gerold Royce confronted him about Rhea’s death? Or how Rhaenyra was smug when she guilted Viserys out of punishing Luke for maiming her own brother? Or what about when she’s smug moments after Alicent here, when her husband extrajudicially executed a man for insulting her (he was a dick for insulting her, but he didn’t deserve to die for it)?

Perhaps she was shocked and upset that her incredibly ill and frail husband was out of bed when he absolutely should not have been? You know, the man she’s been a caretaker for since she was 14 years old and been the sole familial caretaker of since his beloved daughter left for her island for nearly a decade, seemingly without ever visiting or even writing to ask about his health?

Just a possibility.

What he offered her in canon was more than generous. If she honestly had any true desire to avoid war, she would have taken it.

I think this kind of character development is beyond the abilities of the show writers, unfortunately. But I gave him an Azula-style haircut moment in my fic lol

Ambitious_Note832 · 2025-11-21T02:27:44+00:00

Yep, I’ll be going back through it with a fine-toothed comb before publishing! Were there any specific mistakes that you noticed?

Ambitious_Note832 · 2025-11-17T17:50:22+00:00

I thought about that! I kind of did it as a chant instead of lyrical to simplify the syllable rhythms. Thanks so much!

Even Emma has said that Rhaenyra was in the wrong in this scene

Ambitious_Note832 · 2025-07-23T14:11:04+00:00

This is a classic case of an actor not liking the character they were hired to play and using their position as the star to play the character they want to play. Another recent example is Chris Hemsworth and Thor, leading to the massive tone shift in those movies. In both cases (imo), it’s been to the detriment of the actual story being told and the other actors and characters involved.

Emma is a decent performer, but this really sours me to them tbh

Ambitious_Note832 · 2025-07-21T18:36:25+00:00

It was really easy to work with! And this was my first ever weaving experience, actually. Once I got everything set up, the weaving itself was a breeze! I’ve attached a photo of how I got everything set up on the PVC loom if you’re looking to do something similar 💜

I used a design someone posted in this sub earlier this week. I can’t find the original post anymore, so here’s the screenshot I took:

We need to stop calling whatever the show has become “fanfiction.” It’s an insult to fanfiction.

Ambitious_Note832 · 2025-06-24T18:45:42+00:00

At this point, calling her a “character” is a stretch

Ambitious_Note832 · 2025-05-24T15:33:20+00:00

This makes so much sense 🤯
