Father Alduin

@comicscurated like look....... maegor's funny about it is the thing

@Zolan_Official Can't wait for him to make his review using only images of the live action crab

do you think schaff like mentally felt everybody immediately thinking of him the moment this image dropped

Skyrim is an incredibly flawed game but there’s just a real magic to it that so many have tried and failed to capture since that you can’t not consider it one of the greatest games of it era

@FatherAlduin also, they clearly demonize dany for burning mirri which they don't do with mirri for slaying rhaego

for a guy who always yaps about reading GRRM's other works, you should know that one thing which is always prevalent in his writings is that murder of children no matter what your cause, is wrong and that will only benefit the side you are fighting against like how mirri's-

@phhhjay Yea, I don't think anyone who genuinely believes she was externally justified in killing a baby and taking a child slave's ability to have children is someone we should take seriously, anyone who genuinely believes that are just looking for a reason to hate Dany and tis pathetic

@FatherAlduin yeah i mean this is what makes mmd compelling to me, i will let you know tho i have seen MANY people straight up sayin mirri is externally justified

ok putting killing rhaego aside, assume that’s justified (which like seems crazy to me) what the explanation for why it is justified for mirri to harm and sterilize dany like there’s clearly supposed to be nuance here how are people saying EVERYTHING mirri did is justified

@bhindinerys What leads you to believe they're framing it as heroic?

@FatherAlduin the op frames mirri's choice of killing rhaego as heroic so no, I don't think that they mean what you are trying to imply

@aminaalina22 @TwasBrillig1 Almost all of those characters are specifically highlighted as getting prophecies wrong. Melisandre's whole thing with Stannis is that she's wrong, Aemon specifically references that TPTWP prophecy was being interpreted wrong, his brothers all died because of dragon dreams, ect

@FatherAlduin @TwasBrillig1 marwin , mocoro bonero melisandre even aemon they all know prophecy can't be avoided same as us readers know it can't be avoided. That's why no matter what cersei does to change maggys prophecy it won't work. same with green dreams there's no stopping it jojen knows this

"it's racist to describe Dany's baby that way" - that is how *the Dothraki* describe him. it's how he's presented to Mirri. and Mirri doesn't need to believe in "the stallion that mounts the world" in order to decide she'd rather finish Drogo and his child than live as a slave

@FatherAlduin intentions regarding mirri and child sacrifice because just because it was justified from mirri's perspective does not mean the text justifies it as well and calling rhaego 'baby hitler' to get your point across is weird

@aminaalina22 @TwasBrillig1 I'm curious what leads you to believe MMD thought that? I don't think that's ever really implied or hinted at anywhere, at least not that I can remember

@FatherAlduin @TwasBrillig1 prophecies can't be stopped and she knows that she just wanted to make sure it wasn't rhaego who was the stallion

naught but add to that oppression and unlike asoiaf GRRM is not even subtle about this in his other books he constantly beats you over the head with this, so I ask you which grrm books did you read?

@AemonSand7 @sullibible This is a very reductive and western way of viewing the mongols; there's a reason why their successor states were able to last generations past their dissolution. You should look into the Pax Mongolia and how the mongols actually ruled, I think you'd find it interesting.

@sullibible Medieval Mongolian were monsters who built nothing lasting and killed, raped and destroyed their way across the world. They left no litterature, infrastructure, religion nor anything. They would either wipe out a city or ask tribute and... do nothing. Dothraki arent so weird tbh.

How is it our fault that grrm lazy ass made the most racist depiction of brown nomads ever w the Dothraki? “Oh there’s this collective of ppl w a primitive language, 0 concept of a common good, ritualistically sacrifices babies, elderly, disabled bc theyre seen as useless eaters”

this “dany vs. mirri maz dur” discourse is the epitome of multiple things being true at once that most of y’all refuse to acknowledge

i feel like Tom if he caught Jerry

@EPM106 Roughly 85% of noble cousins in Westeros are from House Frey alone.

@sullibible Like, yes, it sucks for Dany, and it's 100% understandable why she retaliated; it's also 100% understandable that, from MMD's perspective, she was killing super-rape-hitler and saving thousands of lives from a people who had destroyed everything she ever loved and violated her

At the end of the day Rhaego was gon hold Dany back and he absolutely would’ve been a plight upon the world at large if he was allowed to live. That’s why him and his ugly ass daddy had to go! Dany got her lick back in the end anyways so idk what y’all even arguing abt atp

Y’all been on the timeline all day acting like Rhaego didn’t need to die to progress the plot. Did Rhaego play at the park with y’all kids or something ?

@shieldgating @21Veltan Wait, that's the thing that shows up on top of the arcane machine, isn't it? Guess I was wrong here lmao x.com/i/status/20313…
