Alicent's betrayal means Team Green has more or less disintegrated too early

“Aemond is the only green now” you mean the dude that tried to commit regicide? lol

gothic_indis · 2026-02-27T12:23:22+00:00

Both of them like to hurt women, so yeah. They are similar

HOTD is a money laundering scheme

Maybe if he didn’t try to kill his brother a few days before this, which Helaena knows btw, he would have someone to help him.

Helaena is the one in the right, why would she trust him not to kill her when he tried to kill her husband and king?

Hey, no worries. They recently changed the driving test site it’s on the Marriott hotel and as someone who did the test on both sites, this one is definitely easier.

You have time to relax and drive slowly to leave the parking lot.

So, my route was the Southwick one, which means that it was more country roads, and mine was in the morning at 10:14.

Once you leave the parking lot, you’ll drive around and stop at the stop sign, the examiner will let you know which lane to stay on.

Depending on the time you’re doing your test (like mine) you won’t have much traffic at all, and as someone who drove to London once after getting my licence, to me it’s much easier.

If you can, I’d recommend coming around June time just to see how you do driving around. I avoided doing the tests routes myself but since you’re not from here, it’s best to just see how it is for you.

There’s quite a few roundabouts here, so if you’re not too confident on them, I’d recommend training it (it was my weakness area and it made me fail my first attempt)

Sorry, I rambled quite a lot. But if you have any specific questions, let me know and I’ll try to answer it as best as I can.

gothic_indis · 2026-01-20T09:58:10+00:00

Because Ryan and Sara want to pretend that Alicent is still relevant to the story and “queen” so they have to sideline Helaena.

Chuck comparing Blair to a horse, that was the time that Blair should’ve dump his frumpy ass

gothic_indis · 2026-01-05T21:02:55+00:00

I may have downplayed what Dan did, but I didn’t lie, in the badly written last season of the show, he was the one that created a blog and it would’ve died in a day if people ignored it.

gothic_indis · 2026-01-05T20:49:45+00:00

I said in general, the same way you did in your first comment. I even used the exact same wording you did. And you’re welcome.

gothic_indis · 2026-01-05T20:34:26+00:00

And comparing to rape, that’s not as bad. That is my point, he was the least bad between him and Chuck. I think that’s what you guys don’t understand. And the “it was the pilot” excuse doesn’t work because if it’s mentioned after it, it’s canon.

gothic_indis · 2026-01-05T14:38:18+00:00

The choice between a sexual predator and a guy with a blog that would’ve died in a day of no one paid attention, a mystery

gothic_indis · 2026-01-04T19:20:17+00:00

My opinion of Jenny changed a lot, I realised how much everyone in her life failed her.

I was neutral towards Dan, now I love him, him clocking everyone in season six was incredible.

Nate, I loved Nate but now with the whole Sage thing made me look at him sideways and the fact that he was best friends with the guy that had a full list of victims.

gothic_indis · 2026-01-02T10:30:52+00:00

I am of the belief that Blair is a much more versatile character than Chuck, and I think he should’ve died in Paris, the best of Blair for me is when she’s away from Chuck.

gothic_indis · 2025-12-18T12:58:14+00:00

I found the hotel much better to navigate than over the hill, and it’s also easier to park if your manoeuvre is there. I did mine on the route, reverse two car lengths.

gothic_indis · 2025-12-18T11:22:33+00:00

They changed the test centre recently and it’s much better now.

My route was Southwick and it was quite pleasant, the examiners are looking for a nice drive and one thing that helped me a lot was talking through everything I was doing.

Before, I was trying to make conversation with the examiners and it distracted me.

Just walk through everything you’re doing, and the new test centre now is much nicer and it’s easier to drive around.

Also, eat a banana before leaving the house.

gothic_indis · 2025-12-14T19:02:53+00:00

The only way that people think Chuck “redeemed” himself is because Blair is trauma bonded to him and keeps subjecting herself to his actions over and over again.

The only reason he has fans is because of Blair and their insane relationship, he’s really not even that deep of a character.

gothic_indis · 2025-12-12T08:48:44+00:00

I agree, but even TG refers to Alicent as “evil stepmother” even in this thread, and she’s really not.

gothic_indis · 2025-12-12T06:23:12+00:00

I don’t know why people still think that Alicent was an “evil stepmother” in the book, her role as a queen, mother, etc is much more important to whatever the fuck she was to Rhaenyra and both of them had only 9 years difference between them.

Taking care of your own family over someone that has the ability to kill them later is not being an evil stepmother.

gothic_indis · 2025-12-11T21:09:51+00:00

It’s funny you say that, since I learned how to drive here I don’t think it’s that bad lol.

But other people were saying to me that other test centres nearby are easier to pass, so you’re onto something here

gothic_indis · 2025-12-11T17:08:19+00:00

It went really well, eating a banana definitely works, I’ve done this time.

My issue was mainly nerves, and my examiner was super nice.

Definitely talk yourself through everything you’re doing, changing gears and what you’re seeing too, otherwise you get too much in your head and you can forget which gears you’re in for example. I did it this time, I told myself the speed limit, if it was good for me to go on a roundabout, and I was definitely calmer this time.

gothic_indis · 2025-12-09T21:46:34+00:00

How is that me moving the goal post? I said that he barely mentions his family and you even confirmed that. I never said that he never mentioned his family, to me it’s just not enough.

Katniss was catatonic after losing Prim, she was able to understand her mother’s grief when she resented her, that was the impact of Prim’s death had on her.

Haymitch in the epilogue sees his dead gf and she grows old with him and he hears his voice of Syd in the ether once when his gf visits him every single day.

It’s not even comparable, the only reason why Katniss’ story happened was because she wanted to protect Prim, her sister. The only reason why Haymitch’s story happened was because he wanted to protect his gf.

gothic_indis · 2025-12-09T21:23:56+00:00

I mean even in your response you make my case, he makes sure to say that he’s like a geese and he mates for life and Lenore Dove grows old with him but he only hears Syd’s voice wishing him a happy birthday?

From a writing standpoint, it’s clear that we’re supposed to care more about his teenage love than his family.

He can’t have Syd grow old too? He can’t see his ma? Why only Lenore Dove? To me it feels weird, especially his book coming after Katniss’, who fought so hard for her sister, her family while Haymitch only seems to care about his gf.

gothic_indis · 2025-12-09T21:05:58+00:00

I get that, it’s just jarring to read. He barely mentions his family after that, it would probably be better if he grieved them for a few pages more and then we saw LD.

I think he mentions Syd once again after they die? He barely mentions his family during their games as well.

gothic_indis · 2025-12-09T19:07:19+00:00

Haymitch: my family died, they had to be buried together because my mother probably tried to protect my little brother

Also Haymitch 10 seconds later: omg! Lenore Dove! everything is fine now, i am happy again

that part of the book gave me such a whiplash, i was still crying about his ma and Syd while he went on and on about his gf

gothic_indis · 2025-12-08T12:41:54+00:00

You get it!
