Hotd Purposefully Making All The Greens Look Incompetent Af To Highlight How Great Their TB Protagonists

I know it’s been said but, damn, I really do hate the way the show turned what was supposed to be a story about how the Targaryens ate themselves because of ego, about two spoiled yet neglected brats wanting to be The One despite already being the most powerful people in the world who horde wealth and ride dragons while average people struggle to find enough to eat and turned it into “Meanie Hightowers attacked the innocent, perfect dragons-and-incest family” just reinforcing the very same arrogance, short-sightedness, and exceptionalism of not just the Targaryens but this whole system that GRRM was trying to criticize.

Ugh 🥵

I miss our One-Eyed Prince so I decided to do some picture enhancing to deal with it.

Yes, I know half his scar is missing in the last one. It wasn't clear enough to survive the edit 😆🫥

The comments under the new HBO podcast episode with Ryan Condal can’t be fit in one post but here are some of them to give you the idea of what’s going on:

In a nutshell, this fandom learned not to hold back from GRRM himself.

AEMOND TARGARYEN House of the Dragon (2024) 2.01

What did Aemond say to Cole (about his mother?) ? I can't really make out what he's saying before "That makes her a fool"

“Alicent still has love for our enemy and that makes her a fool”

Disrespectful little toad should support his mother’s right to a lesbian life partner.

I always end up liking your Aemond stories! I love your writing style

Thank you 😭🫶🏻 it means a lot to me to get such lovely messages 💕

"Your beauty never ever scared me"

You tell me it's not about Aemond Targaryen? The scared insecure child that he is inside? The one who deems himself unworthy because he didn't get a dragon as fast as others? The one that a second something worked for him (claiming Vhagar) he lost an eye? Making him "ugly" and "scary looking"? Aemond whi covers his eye so they don't look at him with disgust? Insecurities turning into rage/hatred

And there is the Reader who loves him despite the anger and hurt he carries inside of him. Reader finds it beautiful.

I’m about to get called a “big old mean internalized misogynist” for dragging Sara Hess’s public statements again but the contrast between saying “a character being fat is just negative biased propaganda against them” …VS… GRRM’s recent statement where he said being “fat is not offensive” publicly… couldn’t be more chef’s kiss for me.
