You're following me. Am I?
What do I say? Whatever you wish. It's only for you and the gods to know.
I think we should be friends.
Alicent, this matter is finished.
In all of Kings Landing, is there no one to take my side?

I tried to teach you the way this great game we find ourselves in is played. Well, even if I say it myself, I have been a most excellent teacher. And lessons are complete. Or perhaps you never needed them.
It’s a great game of keep or kill to them all. I will not be killed.
6, 9, and 18?
6. Favorite movies of the year
Everything everywhere all at once. it has all the rave reviews, it has michelle yeoh, it has the multiverse, it's an a24 production...and I dragged my feet on watching it because (I say this as an asian american, to be clear) I'm at this stage where I'm tired of watching asian american movies/reading asian american books that are like...behold, this is The Asian American Experience, trapped between two worlds/older and younger generations struggle to connect/have you eaten yet means I love you etc etc. everything everywhere all at once is I guess about "the asian american experience", true, but it feels bigger than that, it doesn't stop with that. it has hot dog fingers and googly eyes and michelle yeoh busting up some windows with a baseball bat. it's great.
9. Best new fandom discovery of the year
the story killshot, baby by thefudge. you know a writer is good when they can get you invested in a ship you hadn't considered seriously before. and with a big fandom like house of the dragon, there's so much volume to sift through and a lot of stuff that is simply not for me...but if you can wade through it, there is also some mind blowing talent out there.
18. Fandom that you never expected to get into
hmm, rings of power? wasn't really planning to watch it, I'm very much a casual lotr fan and it just was not on my radar, but I'm glad I gave it a chance. now I've discovered galadriel x sauron is kind of hot and many other people think so too. what a world.
Rhaenyra Targaryen, First of her Name, Queen of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lady of the Seven Kingdoms, and Protector of the Realm/ Aegon, Second of his Name, King of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, and Protector of the Realm…
Whoever is in charge of the crowns props has a bad taste. First Sansa bland one instead of the bronze and iron Kings in the North first men crown. Now these ugly things instead of the circlets of Fire & Blood art.
I don’t usually respond to comments but this is incredibly rude. you are free to make your own post on your own blog where I don’t have to see it. thanks.
The Land of the Star, the westernmost of all mortal realms...

I will never be at your side.
