@sami_abdt With that definition we agree then ! It’s just the expression "choosen ones" may imply one is but a puppet of some gods.

@AemonSand7 The thing is: she made herself the chosen one
She is the one who actively operated towards the prophecy fulfillment, not because she knew it, but because she had faith in herself and in her dreams
That’s why I like how GRRM depicts prophecies and iconic figures

Everytime I see this person on my TL, it’s just truth nukes over truth nukes
All my respect and thank you for everything

@EPM106 @capybaroness You're proving once again that ASOIAF fans don't hate the chosen one trope, they just hate the fact that the chosen one is Dany.

@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.
English
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”

@targaerysm I'll need quotes from the books for Jon’s madness (and not quotes in which he merely sulks about his status lol)
"He's worse than Euron" like what the fuck is wrong with this fandom 😂
English
@AemonSand7 he does. thats why jon will go mad (even if he has already showed signs of being mad and evil) and the trope of the classic hero will be subverted especially when he comes back from the dead. he’s worse than euron actually
English
He is Rhaegar’s son, and let’s not forget that Rhaegar was obsessed with a prophecy he went mad. His son is doomed to go mad as well, he’ll have a Paul Atreides/Anakin arc and someone good or a hero will have to kill Jon (ASOIAF villain) to save the world
Wither@Tsukiya_a
Yes, I'm sure the guy who died for showing mercy to his enemies and took an oath to protect the realm would commit genocide to appease a woman he hasn't even met
English
@targaerysm Going from "George wants to be subversive" to "he's the mad bastard" requires some mental gymnastic.
And where does it come from that GRRM wants to be subversive. He does not subvert tropes for... the love of the game.

@Mister_Gob /2 Adapter un auteur, c’est faire passer sa vision artistique d’un medium à un autre. Le contenu de la dite vision est secondaire pour évaluer l’adaptation.
Français
@Mister_Gob C’est une très bonne question je trouve : Herbert était clairement homophobe (jsuis contre les procès d’intention d’habitude mais bon, là c’est évident au bout de 200 pages). Mais pour autant, je reste contre trahir ses idées dans une adaptation. 1/
Français
Herbert était tellement homophobe qu'il associait homosexualité et pédophilie mdr (un classique chez les homophobes à l'époque) et avait dit s'être inspiré du mode de vie des homosexuels pour écrire la famille Harkonnen
AstraSénèque@Maxaginternet
Apres de mémoire chez Herbert, la sexualité du baron cest pas tant d'être gay que d'être un giga pedocriminel

@rhaenyrazcc In the show Dorne is terrible while Oberyn is a hero while in the books it’s the opposite. Dorne seems the best place to live (since they had the good sense to stay off the fucking war) and Oberyn is a cringe douchebag who killed an innocent men in a gentleman duel over a ONS.
English
Dorne being this very iconic place that everyone lowkey loves. The land of deserts, spicy food, lemon trees. Rhaelya residing there. Jon being born there. Martells being the ruling house. Daynes being from there. Women having equal right to men. The water gardens. Just perfection
English
@redoorlemontree Would mean she abandonned Dany and Viserys. Unless she had some obscure and far feteched reasons to do so, she'd be an awful mom.
Plus I feel like all those "(S)he's not dead" theories for exemple "Rhaegar is Mance" ruin those characters' significance as haunting the narrative.
English
@redoorlemontree Lol. I especially love that the "exiled prince" be actually a 13yrs old princess.
Even after ASOIAF, i dont think i've seen that ever in fantasy/sci fy.
English
@Fucken_MadLad @SandyofCthulhu "George and his incessante crusade about hope or good" have you actually ever read ASOIAF or are you only telling what some stupid guys on twitter say ?
Because I promise you, there is goodness and there is hope in those books.
English
@SandyofCthulhu Something about George and his incessante crusade against any Spec of Hope or good in his Works never Sat well with me
I'm not saying dark and grimy stories are inherently bad, but his take on that style Just screams "i Want to talk about evil for Its own sake" to me.

Gandalf's resurrection was one of the very few times that a resurrection worked in fiction. It worked in Narnia because it was a reflection of Christ's. I hated it when they resurrected Superman after his death, because I knew for a fact they wouldn't let him die so it was a stupid and moronic attempt to play on our emotions from the get-go. Let's not talk about Palpatine's.

Should Gandalf have stayed dead??

@Elh_Mrr 1. Je ne pense pas que ça dérangerait Daemon, surtout sa version du livre.
2. Aucun interet à les tuer, il suffit de marrier ses filles à Jacaerys pour avoir sa lignée sur le trône si c’est ce qu’il souhaite.
Français
Venez on discute.
Si les Hightower n’avaient pas usurpé le trône et que Rhaenyra Targaryen était couronnée Reine, vous pensez vraiment que Daemon allait laisser Jacaerys Velaryon hériter du trône alors qu’il a 2 fils légitimes avec Rhaenyra, Aegon et Viserys?🤣🤣🤣

@gulaaab__ I feel like this sentiment does not really appear in The Hedge Knight, like if I had not been told, I would not have known. But for The Sworn Sword, they'll have touch it as it is part of Ser Eustace reasoning for supporting the Blackfyres.

@mxfrlll09 @JoseHill173253 @helenawsparta Was about to put the quote, you did it. Together the fandom, we shall erase D&D fanfiction's legacy and restore ASOIAF !
English
@JoseHill173253 @helenawsparta The point is that she never was like that in the books at first place, she says this in first book and that d&d rewrote her character so she can be more appealing to male fans
English
the girlboss "other girls are stupid" version of arya the show made are more acceptable for male fans which makes yall think everyone loves arya when i doubt they even read her povs
English
@decoyrobot The thing with ASOIAF is that it’s peak storyline after the other, but since it is so rooted in reality and history, it's not really finishable, as history never ends.
If Dany frees all the slaves, what happens to them after she leaves ? Do they remain free when she dies ?
English
@gulaaab__ Hating one of the most compelling character in the serie must be a though job.
English
@breakerofigs The ghiscari being so obviously Roman it’s not even subtle
English
y'all think that just because they're in a land foreign to Westeros that everyone there is brown but that's just not true. will y'all still bring up race when Dany burns the white Quartheen slavers or the slavers of Volantis who come from her same background of Old Valyria
Coconut Tree Faller Outer Ofer@Cam_Oflage
I'm not always satisfied w how GRRM handles it but it's still insane to think a vocal bleeding-heart lib would spend entire 2000s writing a plotline concluding "turns out u CAN fix a mideast country u don't understand by just killing all the evil brown guys but not the good ones"
