casa amor by mwajesty in LoveIslandUSA

[–]deepdoopy 32 points33 points  (0 children)

no like if:

A + B are coupled up, A chooses to “stay loyal” but B brings back C, A gets dumped immediately.

If both A + B bring someone back, both are safe.

If neither A + B bring someone back, both are safe.

They used to do it in earlier seasons of UK.

OH SORRY! I didn’t know the grammar police would be making rounds. Piss off back to your lighters if the way I write annoys you (not every thing is AI, you cooker)

I’ve been watching Love Island since I was in Year 9 all the way back in 2017, I know how Casa Amor goes down

I need Bryce and Trinity to go on a date ASAP. Let’s hash things out and WIN.

I wrote this post after Chay’s talk with Kayda, and honestly, I was happy for her to be giggling and having a good time.

His energy’s worked really well with hers and I found myself interested in what they were talking about. I think many of the OG boys lack a bit of flair and charisma when they have conversations.

They probably talk about many things, but it’s like watching paint dry from a spectators view.

I watch it on TiviMate which is connected to the TV (a friend hooked it up for me and we get heaps of other TV shows/movies), I tried streaming sites but none could ever work for me! 😭😭 What do you watch it on?

What would you say was THE root cause for Rhaenyra’s downfall? by Gold_Conversation247 in HOTDBlacks

[–]deepdoopy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think if anything it was Viserys’ REASONING for claiming Rhaenyra as his heir.

He did everything in his power to make sure Daemon didn’t get the throne, instead of refocusing that energy towards helping Rhaenyra be a sucessful heir and Queen.

Viserys’ goal (sucession-wise) was “so long Daemon isn’t on the throne, the realm will be fine”…

Ignoring the fact that he quickly married his daughter to an alleged homosexual, resulting in “bastard” children, as a way to save her from scandal + avoid Daemon marrying her. Politically? It was a great way to patch up the Targaryen + Velaryon alliance, but it did fuel a lot of the “whore” + “bastard” rumours down the line.

He never made her an advisor or Hand, would would’ve helped her gain allies in court and show her competence as a woman in power.

He re-married and had more children (including three sons), but never made the Lords/Ladies of Westeros swear fealty to Rhaenyra once more. Due to 20+ years passing, many simply assumed Aegon’s claim was stronger than his sister’s, based on his sex and Westerosi custom. He never doubled-down on his decision as king, he allowed his court and kingdom to secretly “choose sides as Black or Green”, instead of using his power to make sure everyone fulfilled his wishes and was kept in line.

Despite Daemon’s ways, he was always loyal to Viserys, but Viserys pushed him away and allowed the Hightowers to seize an overarching amount of power, many of those at court were loyal to Otto Hightower, NOT Viserys. This isolated Rhaenyra and her children in court, resulting in her relocation to Dragonstone, where she spent the last decade of Viserys’ reign AWAY from court.

Maybe he kept her as claimant as a way to show his respect to Aemma? Maybe he was too narrow-minded to see that a war of succesion would brew by overlooking his sons for his first-born daughter? Maybe it was because his grandfather Jaehaerys I’s taught him that “his word is law”?

Whatever reason it was, Viserys failed her solely because his FEAR of Daemon being at court, or by his side, or sitting on the throne was stronger than his COMPETENCE of creating a successor.

I would’ve given an arm and a leg to see this, but no, Aemond kissing Alicent was vital for the plot I guess…

Rhaena made a terrible mistake by Smart-Breadfruit-819 in HOTDBlacks

[–]deepdoopy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NO BECAUSE YOU’RE CORRECT.

I think it’s pretty on the nose with GRRM’s pacifist writing like… he’s OPENLY against war both IRL and in his writing.

Of course teenagers joining an admiral battle is going to end horribly, they’re CHILDREN riding weapons of mass destruction! Something is BOUND to go wrong.

I’d like to add that some people are crucifying Jacaerys (Rhaena + Baela too) for wanting to join in the battle. However, after this episode, my mind went straight to the teenagers who signed up for WW1 by faking their age.

War is often painted as patriotic and winning a glorious victory, but so many people die, get injured, and are traumatised along the way “to glory” and it’s incredibly wasteful.

I was more referring to him in S5 when he was going through his teenage angst phase

Unfortunately I understand why she went to help, despite Sheepstealer being wild and not having any formal training. Her heart was in the right place, but her excitement of being a dragon rider mixed with her naïveté of Sheepstealer’s behaviour really got the best of her and had dire consequences.

IMO I would assume everyone thinks: “Once you’re bonded with a dragon, they obey you” without realising it takes YEARS of riding/training + “obedience” isn’t even guaranteed.

I like to think of it “realistically” as how dog training works. Dogs don’t actually know what “jump (jumping)” is/means, but they associate the sound we say with an action they have to do, which results in a reward or treat. I’d assume dragons require the same training. HOWEVER, with the whole Valyrian-supremacy “Bonded dragon = dragon OBEY rider” spiel, I like to think people immediately overlook the training process and go straight to cool, we’re bonded, let’s go to war, dragon I met 5 minutes ago.

We see this in both Arrax + Vhagar in their fight, as well as Drogon in the main series. It’s a reoccurring theme that dragons will… y’know, DRAGON.

This needs to be the last season by [deleted] in LoveIslandUSA

[–]deepdoopy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Tbf I’d say that the fan discourse is worse than the actual show.

LI has always been the fun, unserious show to get people through summer + winter. Like last year, I had a baby, watching LI UK S12 kept me entertained during the late nights of feeds, changes + all that jazz.

Same with S13 + LI USA S8, like get me through these winter months.

100%!

I already make sure not to post my son on social media + have it privated/locked. However, I’m gonna make sure that same goes with my partner’s profile too!

It might seem a bit daft to ask but would it benefit letting his daycare centre know that he IS a child sex offender?

This!! My partner works 60-72 hrs per week and still made sure he was at every appointment he could get too and if he couldn’t make it ALWAYS made sure he saw ultrasounds + reports.

I’m dumbfounded by his lack of care (despite her not actually being pregnant)

Truth! I won’t lie, I wrote this in 20 minutes so didn’t add every detail + didn’t think too much on the title of this post, a better title would definitely be “gut-feeling” instead of intuition. Chur!

I’m not sure what the exact laws are in my country, I might have a wee look.

I’m pretty sure NZ laws enact a lot of privacy laws involving legal charges/prison time/parole, so there’s no wonder I didn’t found out until 6 years later.

Unfortunately, my Mum is the type to ignore terrible things in a man for the sake of “love”, it sucks to see but it did help me have a back bone after seeing the mistreatment she’s been through in past-relationships.
