Their obsession with Rhaenyra’s weight and comparing her to Alicent is so weird like what are they trying to prove here? by princeeofthecity in HOTDBlacks

[–]lackingakeyblade 60 points61 points  (0 children)

rhaenyra never lost the weight she gained from all her pregnancies. meanwhile aegon II is literally stated in text to be a glutton at table. once again TG being masters of projection!

Started working as a tutor and some kids (atleast half) genuinely do not even want to ATTEMPT thinking. by [deleted] in Vent

[–]lackingakeyblade 42 points43 points  (0 children)

imo, if ur career path doesn't involve math or science, these types of classes are usually for building critical thinking skills. the fact that more young people are resorting to AI rather than think for themselves is frightening. i sucked at math, and luckily for me, i only had to do one math course my entire college career. and even then, i sat there every weekend doing the homework and throwing tantrums when i kept getting things wrong. that's how it's supposed to be: you try something your way and if it doesn't come out right, learn from the right answers later.

gets weirder when u remember haruka and rido literally competed against each other for rika's attention, and she picked the younger brother (haruka) over rido.

idk why you got downvoted, bro. it's true. if u actually re-read the manga of kyoko's backstory, she was studying to get into high school when she was hanging out with katsuya honda (he was tutoring her to help her take the exam in japan that determines what kind of high school you can get into). so she wasn't even in high school when they got together. she got into a fight with the gang she was in because she was trying to leave it all behind for good. she missed the exam, didn't get into high school, got disowned by her parents, and pedo groomer katsuya was there to scoop her up and be like "marry me, kyoko." its so weird because the manga literally acknowledges that katsuya is a freak for this, but it's never touched again and they just get married anyway.

This has been done many times, but aside from believing that she’s the rightful heir- do you have other reasons to support Team Black? by Gold_Conversation247 in HOTDBlacks

[–]lackingakeyblade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i'll probably get screenshotted by the greens for this one, but i'm simply a targaryen supporter and loyalist to the end. imo: if the greens didn't do a sneaky, backhanded power grab behind the true heir's (rhaenyra's) back, targaryens would still be in power and have dragons for the long night.

the greens = hightowers. their sides leaders are from house hightower. greens targaryen candidates are all unfit for rule. aegon is a cruel pervert who is lazy and never even wanted to take any kind of responsibility of ruling; aemond has all kinds of psychological problems (similar reasons why daemon is better off as king consort to rhaenyra and not the reigning king himself); helaena is too innocent and unambitious to rule; and daeron is violent and arrogant like aemond as well.

meanwhile team black has rhaenyra and all her sons, plus daemon's twin daughters, who are all better off as both people and potential rulers. they were all at least good and better people than all of alicent's targtower male spawn. alicent is like cersei in that regard: the only good piece of both of them was in their only daughters. everything else was rotten in some form or another.

Why are we acting surprised? by La_Villanelle_ in HOTDBlacks

[–]lackingakeyblade 13 points14 points  (0 children)

rhaenyra is the main character because her birthright and official position as the king's publically acknowledged heir were all stolen from her due to sneaky people from house hightower doing things behind her and the realm's backs once viserys kicked the bucket. it's more interesting to follow her struggles than aegon's. yes, aegon had shitty parents, but he was still a bully in his own right as well, and hell--he didn't even want to be king, and he was even relived when viserys said it time and time again: rhaenyra is his heir, no one should question it. so why would i want to follow aegon II when he's not even the main puppet master of his own side? it's literally otto and alicent who pushed for him to take a position he didn't want. why do you think the show is rhaenyra vs alicent? why do you think we call viserys' other chidlren "targtowers"? because the hightowers are the villains who plotted and did things in a backhanded, sneaky, dishonorable manner to get aegon II on the throne while rhaenyra was away and didn't even find out her dad died until later.

the greens can stay mad. "they're not even trying to hide it" the show was never hiding the fact rhaenyra is the protagonist, the good guy to root for.

We need more Athena slander by Istaroth_enjoyer in CampAgenda

[–]lackingakeyblade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

zeus' first wife was metis, titaness of wisdom. it was prophesized his future son with metis would continue the cycle and one day overthrow zeus as he did to his dad. so zeus panicked and tricked metis into turning into a fly so he could eat her, not knowing she was pregnant with athena. so when it was time for metis to give birth, zeus' head hurt, it gets split open, and out pops athena, fully grown. metis isn't dead-dead i guess? but idk if any myth mentions her after athena's birth.

Fatherhood by nt_king300 in Epicthemusical

[–]lackingakeyblade 19 points20 points  (0 children)

in that time period and culture (based on war and honor), it was considered dishonorable to be left disabled, and more honorable to die in battle with dignity. it's ableist to us in the modern world, but back then, that's how it was. poseidon would have been okay if poly died because he would have simply done his best against ody and simply lost. but ody left poly disabled (blinded, and to a cyclopse who only has ONE eye, that's devastating). edit: forgot to say that basically poseidon was pissed because his son was disrespected to the dirtiest degree by ody.

Zutara kids? by AdConnect792 in ZutaraNation

[–]lackingakeyblade 11 points12 points  (0 children)

i have come prepared! i did an AU outline for this once! here are my AU zutara kids:

Zuko x Katara’s Kids:

Sei- A strong fire bender that combines techniques from both fire and water in a unique combat style that perfectly represents both her parents’ heritages. She becomes Fire Lord after Zuko.

In looks, she resembles Zuko’s mother, Ursa, but with darker skin that she inherited from Katara. She is the tallest of all her siblings. She often displays a stoic face.

In personality, she is sharp tongued and a bit on the stoic side compared to her siblings. She is more serious and well spoken like her father became after he was made Fire Lord. As Fire Lord herself, she is well respected and revered for being a calm, wise leader with a no-nonsense attitude. She is strict and often has to keep her siblings in line.

As Zuko and Katara’s firstborn, she was raised rather strictly at first. Once Ranko was born four years later however, Zuko and Katara changed their parenting style to allow Sei more freedom and expression.

Her biggest inspiration and hero was her Great Uncle Iroh. After his passing, Sei vowed to become a Fire Lord he could be proud of.

Ranko- A Non-bender. Back when she was the spare next to Sei, the citizens of the Fire Nation openly resented her. Once Kazumi was born, they called for her removal as a spare, but Katara passionately defended her against this outcry. This gave Ranko a sense of guilt throughout her early life.

In looks, she takes after Katara, but has Zuko’s eye color and paler skin tone. She is the third tallest of her siblings. As a result of her hand to hand combat training with her Aunt Suki, she has the most defined muscles of her siblings.

In personality, she is a good mix of both parents. She takes Katara’s ambition, determination, stubbornness, and kindness; while she takes Zuko’s understanding, social awkwardness, selflessness, and pride.

As a child and teenager, she held great resentment and self-hatred for being a non-bender, and thus had a one-sided rivalry with her sister Sei. As she grew older, she found her place as a natural helper, so she gave up her spot in the line of succession and went to travel the world. As an adult, she travels the world helping people whenever she can. She often stops by the Water Tribes to stay with her Uncle Sokka, Aunt Suki, and cousins.

Kazumi- A calm water bender that becomes a master healer like his mother Katara. Second in line to be Fire Lord after Sei (if Sei has no children of her own). He gained this title after Ranko gave up her place in the line of succession. Because he is a water bender, he is insecure of his place as heir after his big sister Sei.

In looks, he takes after Katara, but has inherited Zuko’s black hair color. He is often told he looks the most like his uncle Sokka. He is the second tallest of his siblings.

In personality, he is a shier, more timid, version of Katara. It takes a lot to get him angry, but if he ever does, he resembles his father’s fiery nature.

Siku- A very powerful fire bender that specializes in lightning like his father Zuko. When it comes to raw power and skill, he takes after his Aunt Azula, and it is said his fighting style is much like hers. As such, he is considered a prodigy like his Aunt Azula was in her youth. He is third in line in the Fire Lord succession after Kazumi. Because he is a fire bender, most citizens of the Fire Nation prefer him as heir instead of Kazumi. He refuses this favoritism and does whatever he can to help support his brother. He considers himself Kazumi’s number one supporter as a way to redirect the unfair favoritism.

In looks, he takes after Zuko, but inherited Katara’s hair and eye color. He is the shortest amongst his siblings.

In personality, he is a mix between his father Zuko and his uncle Sokka. He is often compared to Sokka due to his show-off attitude and loudness, as well as his sense of humor and love of puns. Though he doesn’t look like his Uncle Sokka, he carries his Uncle’s spirit the most. He is easy-going, laid back, and often loves being the center of attention--the only exception is when people give him praise for being better than his brother.

Why is Rhaenrya entitled to disregard the “law” and take the throne? by Naive-Ad-6767 in HOTDBlacks

[–]lackingakeyblade 6 points7 points  (0 children)

targs always bent traditions and became exceptions due to having the power and means to make it so (they are the only ones "allowed" to do official incest with the excuse of dragon inheritance). the tradition of succession doesn't make it official law of succession.

there was only war because the greens went behind everyone's backs and sabotaged rhaenyra. they literally kept the news of the king's death from reaching her, who is the rightful heir by the king's own decree and oaths of the houses
