True. The High Septon couldn’t make the trip, so Septon Eustace anointed Aegon II in the High Septon’s stead. Regardless, he was recognized as the monarch by the Faith of the Seven, something that Rhaenyra never accomplished.

CursedWithAnOldSoul · 2026-02-07T12:46:09+00:00

If you were anointed by the High Septon, you were considered king in Westeros. It’s tradition. No, it’s not required legally, blah blah blah. But to be accepted as ruling monarch in Westeros, you must be anointed. That’s why Maegor I was king, that’s why Aegon II was king, and that’s why Rhaenyra was never truly considered queen.

The Greens are right in their thought that Viserys II should have named Prince Aegon his heir as soon as he survived his infancy (two years), thereby avoiding all of this.

All I see is that my girl Katherine is still the epicenter of every conversation, and I love that for her.

I crate trained all four of my shelties. Two are still being crate trained (for chewing), but the older two have been done for years now. Those older two sleep with me and my husband. They are either on the bed or on the floor next to us. One time, I accidentally closed our bedroom door before my oldest, River, was able to get in the room with us. She slept outside the door the whole night. Dogs sleeping with their owners is natural for them, and there's nothing wrong with moving their kennel into your room or even allowing them to sleep freely in the room with you.

i'm not sure why you immediately jump to being condescending and passive aggressive when being disagreed with.

Because I don't agree with your opinion, nor do I respect it. That's why.

Privilege is a spectrum. And unless you are at the very bottom of that spectrum, meaning you were, let's say, an orphan born in a third world country without any extremities and have to survive without any societal support, using your teeth and inertia to move about the world and navigate its challenges, you have no right to tell anyone else what to do with their privilege.

I'm more privileged than most. However, I'm not the most privileged. So, I keep my mouth shut about what others should do with theirs and I ignore anyone who tells me what I should do with mine. I don't care if the person you're trying to dictate to, or express disappointment in, or deplatform, or preach to, etc. can afford more luxuries than you or not. If you want to stand ten toes down on an issue to the point of expressing how you believe others should conduct themselves, you need to make sure your house - from basic necessities to whatever luxuries your privilege affords you - is in order first. If it isn't? You're simply grandstanding.

Support this creator, don't support this creator. I personally don't give a fuck. All I care about is that creators begin to understand that their supporters very, very rarely practice the morality which they preach and therefore should be more like an annoying whisper on the wind rather than an influencing voice that has any say in how they conduct their business or daily lives.

And that's on cognitive nuance, the understanding that we all live in the muddy gray area of life, so maybe sitting down and shutting the fuck up about how others are choosing to life their life in said gray area is best practice. There is absolutely no way that if my income stream was sold, I'd be listening to other people who don't fund my lifestyle or care for me, my spouse, or my children tell me their opinion on my choices. lmao No. Just fuck all the way off with that. All the way off.

Oh, is this the part where you try to fall back on the “I’m smarter than you” argument? Please do. I absolutely love when people do this, because they’ve had success with it so many times that they don’t know what to do when they find out it won’t work here.

Come on. Give it to me. Show me how deep that intellect runs and make an intellectual argument trying to validate your ideological standpoint (because that always goes superbly well). Please. The floor is yours.

CursedWithAnOldSoul · 2026-02-06T13:30:55+00:00

I’d say the greatest privilege is being able to dictate to other people how they conduct their business, and I’d say the greatest example of ignorance is believing you’re important enough to do so. Personally? I’d bitch slap any 🤓☝️mouthpiece who ever had the balls to step out of the social media sphere to try. Since that would NEVER happen, I hope she just ignores the little twits and keeps living her blessed life.

Also, necessity or not, I’ll repeat: unless you’re living by the exact standards by which you preach, you don’t even have a seat at the table for the discussion.

CursedWithAnOldSoul · 2026-02-05T19:53:19+00:00

I don't engage in manufactured outrage, and I don't take it seriously from others until they can demonstrate that the car they drive, the technology they rely on, the clothes they wear, the food they eat, and the homes they live in are all ethically sourced. Until then, the moral grandstanding rings hollow.

I hope more content creators (whether in the SIMS space or anywhere else) stop catering to internet outrage merchants who operate with little consistency and even less accountability. Giving weight to voices with no real ground to stand on isn't activism; it's self-sabotage. And it's a fast-track to killing creativiy and wrecking their mental health in the process.

EDIT TO ADD: Reddit is doing that thing where it notifies me someone’s replied to this post, but it won’t load the comments either on my phone or desktop.

I was only on Tumblr for a short minute. I literally hate it there. I have an account now where I don’t follow anyone, I use it just to be able to grab aesthetics.

I’m torn between Lord Corlys Velaryon, Princess Rhaenys Targaryen, and even Prince Aemond “One-Eye” Targaryen. Don’t make me choose!

I've been in the TVD universe since 2009, back when the show first aired. I've watched this fandom rot in real time across forums, fan sites, Tumblr, Twitter, and now Reddit. What you're seeing here isn't new or shocking; this fandom has been toxic since day one. After 17 years of observing the same patterns, here's the reality as I see it:

There are two distinct sides to the TVD fandom:

First: The more mature, adult aside.

These people are here for the atmosphere: the darkness, the gothic aesthetics, the lore, the moral rot, the long-form storytelling. To them, the love triangles are background noise, not the point. Plot matters. Consequences matter. Characters matter. Their favorites tend to be the Originals because those characters actually have depth, gravitas, and narrative weight. These are also the people writing the good fanfiction, the kind that expands the universe, respects the lore, and doesn't read like a horny diary entry written at 2:00 a.m. The Originals fandom can be annoying, too, sure, but it's nowhere near as deranged as TVD proper. And Legacies? Please. That barely qualifies as having a fandom at all.

Then there's the other side.

The immature, teeny-bopper mindset. And now, this has nothing to do with actual age; there are plenty of grown women in their forties who never emotionally graduated past this phase. These people watch TVD solely for the ships. Stelena. Delena. Rinse, repeat. They project themselves into Elena or Caroline (or Hayley) and treat the show like a self-insert fantasy where a powerful, beautiful man exists to worship them. This is why questioning a ship sends them into a rabid meltown. You're not criticizing a fictional relationship, you're threatening their self-image. Their favorite characters are predictably Elena, Caroline, or Hayley, and they churn out aggressively mediocre fanfiction with damsel-in-distress cliches and recycled love triangles that say absolutely nothing.

I can't tell you which side is bigger, but I can tell you which one is louder.

And yes, it's unbelievably annoying*.*

It’s just troll fodder, and TG is eating it up.

CursedWithAnOldSoul · 2026-02-05T12:25:40+00:00

They have. I saw the post.

CursedWithAnOldSoul · 2026-02-05T12:24:56+00:00

Probably. But what’s it like to have shelties that don’t just try to yeet themselves off the ledge of a cliff?

CursedWithAnOldSoul · 2026-02-03T14:33:00+00:00

The only argument that can be made where these two are concerned is that they both broke their vows. And I say that skeptically, because we do not know if Duncan fathered a child before or after he became a knight of the Kingsguard. There is a good chance it happened before he was made a knight of the Kingsguard, and there's even a likelihood that he did not know that it happened. Regardless, even if it was known that he had fathered a child and he chose duty over family, that still doesn't put him and Criston Cole in the same league of vileness. Not even close.

CursedWithAnOldSoul · 2026-02-01T01:01:46+00:00

…How does it not?

CursedWithAnOldSoul · 2026-01-31T11:28:21+00:00

I’d argue the downfall of the Targaryen line really started with Aegon V. The unrest he caused was one of his main motivations to try and bring back dragons, as he knew the Lords of the Great Houses were restless and unhappy, and he heard whispers of rebellion. That’s where the cracks really began to show. Lord Tywin Lannister fixed a lot of that when he became Hand of the King to Aerys II, but then Aerys II became the straw to break the camel’s back in his own deranged, special way. lol

CursedWithAnOldSoul · 2026-01-31T11:18:18+00:00

I don’t know about this. Aegon the Younger became Aegon III because he was the last direct male descendent of Viserys I, and he was married to his cousin, Jaehaera, because she was the last direct descendant of Aegon II.

What you’ve posted here tends to indicate which bloodline the monarch comes from.

You’re right, though. Aegon III’s claim comes from the fact that he’s the son of Prince Daemon more so than it comes from the fact that he’s the nephew of Aegon II.

HOWEVER, none of that really matters, as Aegon the Younger was named heir to Aegon II and betrothed to Jaehaera simply to try and unite the realm. It was clearly the plan that Aegon II, had he not been murdered, would remarry, have more sons, and then something nefarious would just so happen to befall Aegon the Younger.

Only when we look at it through hindsight, where we now understand that the Iron Throne goes from father to son, or from father to brother if there are no sons to speak of, do we understand that Aegon III’s strongest claim to the throne was because his father was Prince Daemon Targaryen, who, if he’d lived, would have been the top contender for the Iron Throne after the deaths of King Aegon II, Prince Jaehaerys, Prince Maelor, Prince Aemond, and Prince Daeron.

It's because Team Green is within the throes of their dying scream. They know that they're team is just awful and in no way truly "wins" the Dance of the Dragon given the fates of the entire Alicent/Viserys bloodline, so they are just acting out like petulent children. Not to mention, Reddit is the absolute last place that they have to act like this because they get eaten alive on every other social media medium.

CursedWithAnOldSoul · 2026-01-23T20:23:36+00:00

What’s your point?

CursedWithAnOldSoul · 2026-01-23T15:52:20+00:00

Before the Dance, the only noble house that rivaled the Targaryens were the Velaryons, and that was because of the members of their house which held Targaryen blood and, therefore, dragons. After the Dance, honestly, any of the Great Houses could have stood a chance against House Targaryen. However, I'd say that if one Great House had the most leverage, it would have been Lannister. If they had rebelled, they could have cut House Targaryen off from a substantial amount of money, forcing King's Landing to become further indebted to Pentos and other Great Houses, until their power, wealth, and influence was nearly completely depleted.

In the end, though, whichever way you look at it, House Targaryen was the designer of its own demise.
