- All men fear death. - No, not death. I fear I never again see Missandei from the Island of Naath.
I will literally never forgive Jon Snow for leaving Ghost without saying goodbye. Like literally fuck Jon Snow, I want Dany to burn him alive.
hot take: if you have to continuously abuse a young female character, have assassins sent to kill her as a child, grow up impoverished on the streets with her only family being her abusive brother, sell her to a warlord to be raped, have her husband and baby killed by a woman she trusted, have her friend betray her, have all her people slaughtered, have her underappreciated by the people she’s saving, threaten to take away her birthright — something she’s worked her entire life towards — because of yet another man having more “power”, kill all of her friends and allies, or have her betrayed by all of her allies, in order for her to “go crazy” and become the mad queen?
SHE IS NOT A MAD QUEEN.
SHE IS A TORTURED AND ABUSED WOMAN JUSTIFYABLE IN HER ANGER AND HER ACTIONS IN DESTROYING THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF HER ENTIRE LIFE.
Missandei’s death was fucking horrendous
She was put back in chains, paraded around and humiliated by Cersei, killed in front of her love, in front of her closest friend and queen
It wasn’t Rhaegar’s death that ignited the war and sealed Cersei’s fate
It was Missandei’s
so missandei grew up a slave, constantly being abused, was ripped away from her family, and her character ends by being abused, ripped away from her family, and ends up in chains before dying? YEAH FUCK D&D YOU DUMB ASS PIECES OF SHIT

everyone:
You know what? Fuck this shit. Dany’s arc in the books was what convinced me to watch the show. It was uplifting. It was a story about a girl who was repeatedly abused and hurt and put down, and who chose to harness her pain for good, to turn her pain and her newfound power into compassion, to use it to help others, to free them, to save them. It sure wasn’t perfect but it was so goddamn empowering to read as a sixteen-year-old girl who had been vulnerable in so many of the same ways as Daenerys. Literally fuck this one-dimensional nonsense the show has done with her
Daenerys has suffered some of the worst things on this show and now it means nothing. All her hard work and talk of breaking the wheel for nothing. All this talk of her being different and just and “see you for who you are” for absolutely nothing. She was nothing but a name and she came from nothing but a name and now she will be nothing but another “mad targaryen”
So, basically, Jon is the worst thing that ever happened to Daenerys. She lost everything because of him and then she’s going to get killed by him as well.
Wow, I have no words.
Episode three:
Episode four: Hold my beer
i hate that ambition in women is always used as a bad trait, male characters can be as ambitious as they please and it’s celebrated but the moment a female character is she’s a mad evil bitch, i hate it and i’m so goddamn tired of it
So you want to tell me that Daenerys gets killed by Jon, the person she saved three times because she will probably kill some innocent people while taking revenge on Cersei and everyone else who killed her family and her friends?
Jon, the Wildlings killed innocent people as well yet you teamed up with them because of MeRcY. Jaime Lannister did some shitty things but you accept him. You slept with a girl who killed a whole village, but you think you have to kill Dany for taking revenge while totally furious because Cersei took everything from her?
Dany, honey, sweetie, baby, go back to essos where people love and appreciate you, can’t you see these white people are too dumb for their own good???
In other news, The Lord of The Rings is still the best high fantasy series and franchise of all time and Peter Jackson is still the best high fantasy screenwriter & director of this generation and I hope D&D die mad about it.
