Portrait Commission❤️🐉

Baela the Brave and Jacaerys the Just; Lord and lady of the seven kingdoms❤️ I was asked to depict Baela and Jacaerys (had he survived) post dance of the dragons and had a lot of free rein so that was fun!

Referenced my lady jane, SapphireAndSage (Etsy) and EnchantedTudorRose (Etsy).

It’s wild that the three post-presidency achievements for Obama are kingmaking a brain-addled and genocidal Biden presidency, breaking an NBA strike, and castigating Black men (one of the most reliable Democrat voting demographic) about voting and misogyny.

I'm gonna be honest, I didn't know about the last part.

It feels like so many liberals are saying “you know what, before, I just didn’t care about the extermination of Palestinians. But now that Dems didn’t win the election, I’m actively pro-extermination of Palestinians.” These are terrifying times.

It's weird to contemplate how people will ignore basic things about why one wouldn't want to vote for or endorse a person who perpetuates violence against their community or ethnic group (even with the small number of Palestinian Americans who did vote for Harris). Like I said before, it didn't feel real enough or close to them, so they wanted to brush it under the rug like "all the other atrocities" they're used to seeing those close to them and others in America doing. They don't wish it to impact their own lives or contemplate how it could.

Alicent is a terrible mom. Brainwashing her children to believe that their sister will murder them, thus instilling a constant state of fear and anxiety in them for their entire lives as well as causing hatred between her children and half of their family is a horrible, cruel way to raise children. Not only that but she did, and encouraged her own children to, constantly poke the bear. “She will kill you when she takes the throne so make sure you consistently express your hatred for her and derision for her children.” Like, what?

Another thing: of all people in the show, Alicent would have the best understanding of Rhaenyra’s character and would have known damned well that Rhaenyra wouldn’t harm a hair on her siblings heads… unless her own children’s lives were at stake. She’s weak willed and let herself fall into the trap of her father’s making like the dumb little sheep that she is.

That's what I've bascially been saying in past, earlier posts like THIS and THIS (scroll to "Why I Think None of the "Accomplishments" or Any of the Cool!Alicent Moments of the Show Really Matter") and THIS about show!Alicent.

Zero respect for celebrities that refused to speak out for Palestine because they “wanted to stay out of politics” but suddenly felt the need to simp for Kamala Harris, one of the people enabling the genocide, for her to just lose anyway. Hope it was worth it.

I was wondering, what is your opinion on how the show turned many of the women supporting Rhaenyra against her? I see the very popular take 'the writers can't have a woman oppose Rhaenyra' -- which is laughably false. They turned Rhaenys into that bitter woman who went off on Rhaenyra even when she was 14 and still grieving her mother. HotD's Rhaenys seems to dislike the Velaryon boys and she openly dislikes Rhaenyra too (and even Rhaenyra acknowledges it); Jeyne Arryn's introduction was also so bad, the woman that also had to fight family members from usurping her, couldn't have her ''women must band together'' line instead she is beefing with Rhaena and incredibly cold towards her (even the line about her ''condolences for your grandmother''), and also Rhaena -- who is clearly upset with her role as a babysitter and has a mini fallout with Rhaenyra too. People scream how ''they turned Baela into Rhaenyra's cheerleader'' but HotD's Baela was given important tasks, spoke at the council and yes defended Rhaenyra and Jace, but all we know of book!Baela during that period is that she wanted to stay at Dragonstone and fight + marry Jace right away. Why wouldn't Baela defend Rhaenyra or show softness to Jace who is struggling? Like, people think ''intresting'' = is a family that cannot stand each other; because that is what the greens are.

For me, all of that is intentional as they desperately want to remove any female solidarity women might show for Rhaenyra; it is also funny how they greens are mad that women (in this case Baela) are cheering on Rhaenyra, because they have no women on their teams besides Helaena and Alicent, while Rhaenyra had women fighting for her or supporting her (Johanna Lannister is not a green no matter how much they claim her)

I've talked about Rhaenys and Rhaenyra/Rhaenys' characterization already HERE, HERE, and pessimisticpigeonsworld's post HERE goes exactly into what you're talking about, anon, when you say HotD fails to show the hints or suggestions of female unity/companionships.

I agree, basically. They dislike Rhaenyra most of all, in a word. Green stans and many neutrals refuse to reckon with all the obvious signs that their chosen people were not those who GRRM favored nor was even "fair" towards in accordance to "two sides bad, not about misogyny" shtick.

So they're floundering and denying or have never read ther text: Baela, Rhaena-Jeyne Arryn, the fact that the little women who are in the green side or are greens themselves are not real actors during the war and really it's only alicent....and that there is a reason for that; they can't point out impressive F&B Dance women on the green side other then Alicent. Which is partly why they ride for her so much. As for the writing, I think it's a mixture of ignorance and deliberate isolation, because they wanted to present an all-suffering kind of heroine for people to like or sympathize with her enough. Because that's the sort of society we are in.

Why wouldn't Baela defend Rhaenyra or show softness to Jace who is struggling? Like, people think ''intresting'' = is a family that cannot stand each other; because that is what the greens are.

" What ended the actual war was Rhaenyra and Aegon's deaths" and I think this is how HOTD will end, and if we are lucky with Aegon III being king to show the public that somehow rhaenyra won.

ryan loves to talk about nuances but delivers something totally different

Yeah, this seems the most likely one, but who knows, maybe Condal will work out of spite (since I know he [or whatever team he's giving instructions to] loves to stoke out fandoms or review them for the tea so he can attmept to stop burning when he tries to brew some stuff).

I initially assumed the insistence on Sara Snow came from the Rhaegar and Lyanna resemblance, but then I found out it was actually about Jonsa resemblance, which makes less sense... ok you have a Stark bastard, but where does Sansa fit into all of this?

A)

The jonsa ship? Sansa stans who ship this seem to hope for Sansa to become Lady of Winterfell and be "compensated" for all her suffering in the bk or the show, and having Jon be married and/o emotionally devoted to her serves to make a moody pretty boy with skills be her commander, a la Daemon for Rhaenyra you might say. This is the priority from what I've seen so far.

It's another illicit or forbidden love as he's her brother and a bastard who her own mother who died for their older brother and them all disliked. It's also, I think, a fuck-you to GRRM's orig plan to have Jon fall for Arya not bc Arya was also his sister and even younger than Sansa, but primarily bec this, to them, places Arya as the "true" Lady of Winterfell.

I'd take a gander to say this is actually the issue and why some might say it's a Jonsa thing. Perhaps they make similar how Sansa's father has a hand in her encountering danger through her planned betrothal to Joffrey (Aerys continually endangering Rhaegar and his his family, Jon maybe in thei minds being the "cause" of Sansa/Rhaegar's family's destruction) or they posit an unwanted marriage parallel of Sansa-Tyrion and Elia-Rhaegar? There might be more, but I can't think of anything else?

B)

When you say "resemblance", do you mean to say Sara Snow x Jacaerys Velaryon as a true thing that happened, or this story of such meant to parallel the couple of Lyanna and Rhaegar? Perhaps it's the element of her also not having any hope to marry and--pursue a longer and enduring relationship due to the political circumstances--an unavailable noble man, like with Lyanna and Rhaegar? That Jace comes from a Targaryen royal lineage and Sara from a Stark one? Or is it that this ship is in close proximity to the Pact of Ice and Fire, which some people espouse had to do with the actual prophecy Aegon I is said to have had and maybe told to Torrhen Stark, the King who Knelt, that got him to surrender, and thus Creagn and Jace agreed to have their childrne marry--thus being some sort of precursor and affirmation of Lyanna-Rhaegar narratively & metaphorically "destined" to shape the history of their society throught their own singular action? That Torrhen might have already known, as others say? Which all, I believe , is an argument meant for Jon being the Prince that was promised?

Bc these latter two "ran off" bec their personalities and personal goals/values didn't jive with the "obligations" both had; those that were like stones set against their own and those around them (Lyanna with her marriage and the entire woman-must-obey thing/her being found out about being the Knight of the Laughing Tree and thus punished vs Rhaegar and the prophecy against the legacy of his house/wanting to build a different Westeros from his crazy father through said prophecy, to "fix" Westeros and/or the world in a way Dany is seemingly supposed to).

Whereas Sara Snow and Jace either don't have such obligations (Sara) or don't have such relationships or regards to their obligations (Jace). Unlike Lyanna Stark, Sara Snow--if she ever even existed. I don't think she ever did, Mushroom is Mushroom and was never there to witness what he said happened--was reported to be a bastard girl, who Cregan, her supposed brother, would never confront anyone about or for if she were to have pursued a relationship for precisely because she was a bastard girl who no one could leverage like Lyanna's father tried to when he betrothed her to Robert Baratheon. Rhaegar had to leave Elia with his father when said madman ordered Elia and their kids to return to KL/the Red Keep while Rhaegar was away; he also had several "engagements" that Jace did not have a like to before the war that Rhaegar was compelled to act on, presumably for the world and not just his own father, wife, etc. Jace was just living with Rhaenyra before the war, anticipating marrying a girl he had been close woth for ages since childhood, and he was barely in his own majority when he died not so late after the war broke out.

Jace's story, unlike Rhaegar, was that he was suspected as a bastard/not his father's son and that the Westerosi stigma against bastards and their character and ability to have loyalty is unsettled by his utter devotion to his family and mother's claim--in other words, he was all in both because of and despite the logic of those rumors, ironic bec of later when Rhaenyra's compelled and unethically chooses to arrest the dragonseeds when her council basically demanded that punishment--in a way, Jace's work was…troubled by this, even with Jeyne Arryn, the Manderlys, and Cregan Stark pulling through later but too late.

In other words, the stakes are too different and the characters are not so similar for Jace to act like Rhaegar or have the room & circumstance to do so. Whether you think Rhaegar was chaotic good, chaotic evil, or just pathetic. This is also not me sayign that Rhaegar wasn't devoted to his family/family's legacy, but that his motivations were layered and has a chance of being more about, again, saving the world. The Pact of Ice and Fire was bt Cregan and Jace also, again, was for their kids to marry, not Jace to marry a Stark bastard girl and disobey his mother at a time when she needed

What exactly are we meant to take away from Jace being with Sara Snow for the narrative apart and what does this contribute or explain exegetically or diegetically apart from it from the pattern of in-world speculation in F&B? Yes they share those that I listed, but they hardly have similar narratives or "points"?

I can’t believe that on my tl I’ve got Palestinians who have nothing but worm infested flour to eat, and simultaneously screenshots of Americans wishing for them to be wiped out because the psychopath candidate (and party) responsible for their genocide lost the elections.

Which is why i just don't care about the "we're not allowed to be angry" thing when some people are counterargue or criticized for doing this or even just saying it without having actually done it. Palestinians share the internet, you're basically punishing them similar to how white people & PoCs have done to Black people online multiple times. I mean for the sake of morality, when it comes to fairness, there's a discussion to be had but the anger and rawness has to dissapear first. (funny how already there has been a few people tryign to explain or shift gears, though)

A majority of white women, the largest single group of voters, voted for Trump once again, but liberals will keep blaming Black and Latino men, Palestinians, Muslims, Arabs and other long-time victims of the Democratic Party, claiming they don’t care about women’s rights. Also, how are liberals gonna complain about Muslims voting 3rd party for JILL STEIN and then come back around to claim they didn’t vote for Kamala Harris because she’s a woman???

I believe that it has a xenophobic root to it, bc this is also giving credit of a singular action to a specific group when said group could--like any others--respond to the same problem or issue differently. It's a quick dismissal beside the rage at not obtaining the same hinors as other identities are graced with. Kamala, though, incarcerated several people, so that's funny. idk

So… Americans’ plan of solidarity with Palestine was boycotting a few deeply nonessential businesses. In return you expected arab americans to stand in solidarity with you by voting for the administration that is funding their genocide and has made no clear promises to stop ? They stop going to McDonald’s and they think the fair trade off, the least Palestinians can do, is vote for the people who are sending literally billions of dollars to the colonial project hell bent on wiping them from the planet and history ? Are liberals fucking unwell ?

Seems like it. It's not been a very great week to be American, I'll tell you that.

Honestly it’s not even about the election result. They’ve been gagging for a reason to shit all over pro-Palestinians because they don’t have a problem with what Israel does, the mistake is assuming these guys are progressive by default.

I certainly think that because thye don't feel all that close to it, it's just not "real" enough to them and to what they think they must do fot themselves.
