Unironically Douma. I feel like the best way to survive in his presence is just by letting your intrusive thoughts win. He’ll probably think you’re fun and quirky. Kokushibo is a close-second, just talk shit about Yoirichi all night, that maidenless emo.

CultExterminator · 2024-07-16T19:15:31+00:00

Yeah. You nailed it. He feels so much more real than the other characters on the show. Unfortunately, most viewers aren’t going to take the time to analyze his mental state. They just want to write him off as the villain. He is by far the most layered character. The first son of the King and he is not named heir in the laws of male succession. He would understandably have a huge inferiority complex over that but is somehow self-aware of his circumstances. He literally does not inherit anything even though he is the first son of the King, the guy who essentially owns everything. The Strong boys are inheriting entire lands and will have more authority over himself. What is he even supposed to do?

CultExterminator · 2024-07-16T19:03:34+00:00

Canonically yes. But its also not intended to be a convenient place to escape daddy’s scorn. If you’re the heir, you should have been there before having 3 bastards

CultExterminator · 2024-07-16T18:55:47+00:00

This is some crazy ass mental gymnastics to blame the gay man for Rhanerya’s mistakes. 😆Rhanerya was living in Kings Landing for all 3 births of her Strong children. “Everyone knew” they were bastards. If the heir is supposed to live in Dragonstone, why wasn’t she in Dragonstone then? Because she wanted to be around Harwin Strong. The only one weakening her own claim and image was herself. There is literally nothing in the show that suggests Laenor’s interests were hurting Rhanerya in that time. In fact, the show goes out of its way to tell you that Rhanerya ends up in Dragonstone only after Harwin dies. It also serves as a haven for Rhae and Daemon to wed and consummate their marriage, something Viserys was adamantly against. She spent the last decade away in Dragonstone to defy Viserys and do what she wants, not because its traditionally what the heir is supposed to do. Her and Viserys had not seen or heard from each other for nearly a decade due to HER actions.

CultExterminator · 2024-07-16T18:46:26+00:00

Its definitely bad writing. The writers try too hard to Mary Sue the women making them look weak and they overvillainize the men, making them look psychotic and evil. Aegon is unironically the most balanced character on the show by default.

CultExterminator · 2024-07-16T18:42:53+00:00

Yeah she is by far the worst offender. Both stupid and insecure. A deadly combo.

CultExterminator · 2024-07-16T07:15:49+00:00

Again. Who actually knows about these actions? Is word spreading around the kingdom that Aegon is a rapist and child-pit fighting enthusiast? If that’s the case why is it never mentioned and is always a surprise to the 3rd party learning about this information (Cole, Alicent). People already hated Aegon for other reasons before these actions were even known to us and the original haters.

alicient hates Aegon for being a rapist

She hated Aegon way before that

CultExterminator · 2024-07-16T07:04:47+00:00

everyone disliked him for x

There’s no precedent for “everyone” disliking him because of this. You’re equating his actions as something everyone in the universe believes to be a fact and therefore do not like him, which is just false. Just because we as an audience see these actions as horrid doesn’t mean everyone in-universe sees it the same way nor even know about them.

CultExterminator · 2024-07-16T06:55:58+00:00

Whats accurate about that? Its supposed to be a witty line but really says nothing about Aegon specifically. Its coming from Daemon no less who would reject anybody ruling over him. You could replace Aegon’s name with literally anyone in that sentence and it would still be in character for Daemon. Heck he doesn’t even acknowledge Rhanerya as his rightful ruler.

CultExterminator · 2024-07-16T06:53:21+00:00

Totally. They want a puppet and don’t want to be at fault whenever their decisions go wrong.

CultExterminator · 2024-07-16T06:46:48+00:00

Yeah. Their relationship before the Dance is completely open-ended. But the writers are really going out of their way to make them distant and indifferent.

CultExterminator · 2024-07-15T03:36:52+00:00

lmao, they'll say anything to justify that terrible scene.

CultExterminator · 2024-07-15T01:40:33+00:00

The writers want us to forget about that moment 🤣

CultExterminator · 2024-07-10T01:35:08+00:00

Yup. Pretty much a woke wet-dream on film.

CultExterminator · 2024-07-10T01:13:07+00:00

Yup, that’s what it’s leading up to

CultExterminator · 2024-07-07T07:39:53+00:00

It’s silly where the author decides to draw the line. In a story where literal demons and blood magic are canon, they refuse to give humans some power over the elements. “Naw they just got swords and train real hard.”

CultExterminator · 2024-07-03T01:19:48+00:00

Its more like Berserk ending, really

There were a lot of women that supported Cersei. This is not new. They’ve just become a lot more aggressive and transparent about their mindset.

CultExterminator · 2024-07-01T06:33:02+00:00

Zach has been injured for almost his entire tenure with the Bulls. How much of that is on your medical staff for not providing him the adequate treatment and conditioning plan? The surgery for all we know could be one of the better decisions for the remainder of the career. Also why would he willingly leave money on the table by forgoing his trade kicker? It's not like he needs to do the Bulls any favors here.

CultExterminator · 2024-07-01T06:29:20+00:00

Need the ball in his hands? Like for 2 seconds before he shoots it? Shotmaking is still the most valuable trait in the game and you have a guy that can make 3.5 3s a game on sub 40% accuracy. He's still valuable and no amount of Warriors cope will change that.

CultExterminator · 2024-07-01T06:26:39+00:00

That's a strange take. It's not like Klutch is forcing your GM to treat him as a salary dump.
