@RevolutionandIR @saruman_desage @belladonnafeli Could be, but at the same time I feel that the "established lore" is often trying to tell us that the Targaryens aren't as exceptional as they try to make themselves seem. They were able to die of sickness (unlike Jaehaerys suggested) and often pretty crazy (from inbreeding)

@saruman_desage @Throwaway15910 @belladonnafeli Or she's a Dragonseed, or Daemon's illegitimate daughter, or she has whatever the original rare magic thing the original Valyrians had. One ambiguous story in a book with an unreliable narrator doesn't definitively overturn established lore.

It’s scaring me how much this fandom thinks kings blood is a real thing. One of the central themes is power resides where men believe it resides. 😭

@RevolutionandIR @belladonnafeli I mean, it's also very much possible that a regular person can ride a dragon, they just lacked the opportunities to do so. I think Nettles is a good way of implying this. It would also sort of match up thematically with the Targaryen's general delusions about their superiority

@belladonnafeli In fairness, the Targaryens do have magic blood that lets them ride dragons.

@rhaenyrism Fair, I undoubtedly wish they could just copy and paste everything from the books visuals wise... Would be sooo sick (esp game of thrones which was so bland compared to the books where it's just a feast of different colours and flamboyant outfits and armour)

@rhaenyrism With all due respect, those insane (and beautiful) walls are probably pretty hard to replicate, I feel like dragonstone is already pretty sick, especially the throne there as well as the painted table.

@TheAlexSylvian Also if they bothered to read asoiaf they'd realize there's some EXTREMELY ungray characters lmao

if those "george rr martin is a bad person because he writes a morally grey universe as opposed to tolkien" people ever read the dunk and egg stories they would lose their shit

@FPLMaineRoad Idk, even as a city fan I disagree. They played well, they looked super in control of the game. Had two shots hit the crossbar as well. Pretty much just unlucky to win by as fine of a margin as they did.

I’d be surprised if Arsenal stay in the title race if they carry on playing like this. I can’t see it continuing, they’ve got too many class players, but feels like they’re robbing points every week at the minute.

@STEPHENSSANN @theMadridZone What is this AI reply

@theMadridZone A recent photo of the duo arm-in-arm illustrates their lasting friendship, bridging Ribéry's Bayern legacy with Alaba's current role at Real Madrid, where he's been sidelined by ACL injuries since December 2023.

🗣️ Franck Ribéry: “I invited David Alaba to my home when he was 16 years old. He saw my Ferrari and my gold watch and then I got angry at him. I said to him, ‘Don't look at these things, just think about developing on the field, because the rest will come later.’ David indeed did that and thanked me for the advice.”

@BooYaKaSha20 @JuriRs3 @iMiaSanMia I would of course choose football given the insane wages, but imo you can't deny the schedules nowadays for them are tough, which is demonstrated by the fact that there's been a sharp rise in short and long term injuries recently. FIFA only cares for the viewer count, not players

Kompany on the winter break: "11 years as a professional player, two years as a coach – in total, I had no winter break, no vacation for 13 years in England. You don't realize how much you can use that later on, also to maintain that energy level. For the players in England, things continue as normal; they actually have more games in this period. Then it goes on until the World Cup. I can remember that as a player, I once had six days off in an entire year. For physical and mental health, I can now feel how valuable this is."

@bearssegi I think (and hope) it's a bit different this time. A shit ton will happen in S3, simply has to, given how slow S2 was. A lot of people will die. I feel like that could explain those faces

i think i've seen this film before and i didn't like the ending 🤸🏻

@danymeria What?? I mean ik he's inexperienced and a bit of a goof but in the books he fights hard to protect his smallfolk and isn't a bad strategist

edmure is genuinely so pathetic, i thought maybe he was cooler in the books than in the show because i heard he has stans but he's really not. this is catelyn, brynden, and edmure

@reddrakonmo @belladonnafeli Could you explain a bit? I'm not denying it, but I just genuinely don't know what aspects of his writing of female characters demonstrates misogyny, and am curious to know

@belladonnafeli seeing his battle on the page with misogyny is very interesting bc he's got some of the Most interesting female characters ever that he clearly adores, wants to explore, and use to critique patriarchy yet he's Still inherently a participant in/perpetrating patriarchy on paper

You know George has misogynistic writing at times but I actually think he prefers most of his female characters over his male characters

@HLTVorg @thunderpickco Dust2 was some absolute cinema

Falcons come back from map down to secure the final playoff spot in Budapest 🦅🔥

@alexlockin @FabrizioRomano @ViaplayFotboll If you consistently don't play well, you don't start. It's as simple as that. Why should goals that he scored in the past give him the starting spot when he's not playing well now?

@FabrizioRomano @ViaplayFotboll 250 goals, 8 years of carrying the club on his back and now getting treated like a squad player 😭

🚨 Mo Salah: “After what I have done for the club it really hurts. You can imagine, really”. “I know the club too well, I have been here many years. Tomorrow Jamie Carragher is going to go for me again and again and that’s fine”, told @ViaplayFotboll.

@DoesKnowWheel @Axon122039 @Mauisnake Lol Dexter aint international

Vexite going from the #1 highest Rated (1.64) player in Stage 1 to the literally 80/80th lowest Rated (0.55) is the craziest swing of individual form I have ever seen in a week's time

@georgegalloway Bruh you're taking this so out of context...

“No Ma’am he’s not an Arab, he’s a decent family man”…

@Charleemanderz @AltSchwiftX I remember this got mentioned on some food ranking stream, and i think they said they would, but with a slightly more minor character like Stannis so that it won’t be such a huge project again

@AltSchwiftX Do you guys have any plans to make “the fake so&so” into a character series? I know the fake Jon Snow was an insane amount of time and work, but I’ve watched it 3 times in its entirely and just love it. You guys are the best, happy for whatever you livestream next

What should the next Alt Schwift X Glidus livestream be about.

@nutriiiaaa99 @viishnuuu @erafps That's quite literally what the person is saying... "IF she works on that, she'll be on par", not "she IS on par"

@viishnuuu @erafps don’t compare florescent to aspas, derke, kangkang, keznit, etc, he is still one step below.

florescent 😭

@purebredpleb @oldbooksguy And yes, the Targs did bring some semblance of peace to the realm, but they were just too unstable and fiery, and fumbled their dragons (and thus a lot of their power), but they also allowed FIVE Blackfyre rebellions to happen, and Aerys caused Roberts Rebellion.

@purebredpleb @oldbooksguy I literally read all the ASOIAF books lol. Yea, we don't know for sure how it happened, but a source in TWOIAF suggests its because the warring of the Valyrian factions caused the death of the fire mages who controlled the volcanoes, which I personally find very believable
