"Fuck canon" has its virtues as an interpretive stance, but you've gotta know what the canon is before you can fuck it.

“Fanfics are unrealistic” hell yeah they are, otherwise modern AU Rhaenicent fics would just be about how Alicent can’t climax thanks to the amount of SSRI in her system.

this is the best type of fanfic material actually

“It’s photoshopped” honestly in the age of AI that has a homey sort of nostalgia to it. Remember when people used to put effort into faking things?

just realized the tag that anon is so mad about is from 2023 like brother get over it at that point you’re searching my blog just to find something to get mad at

What do you think of Daenerys relationship with her handmaidens

I think it’s a bit of a mess tbh and that mostly hinges on the fact that Irri and Jhiqui are severely underwritten. They have no truly distinct traits from each other, they have no motives or aspirations besides helping and hanging out w Dany, they rarely weigh in with their own thoughts on Dany’s humanitarian and political projects besides in a very ‘yes man’ manner, and this is never meaningfully unpicked. And then the Dany/Irri sexual stuff is just. yeah a complete and total mess that I won’t go into fully but I do think it’s bizarre that in the first scene this takes place we reckon w what it means for Irri to do this for Dany within their power dynamic, and Dany interrogating this for herself has its part in driving her to do what she then does in Astapor. But then weirdly it happens twice (I think?) again in later chapters without any level of reflection, or any real reason WHY it would’ve happened again, and I find this difficult to make sense of. It seems really OOC for Dany to basically renege on what she realised about their power dynamic on like. a horny whim?? and ofc we never get Irri’s thoughts on it. So yeah it’s a total mess and hugely symptomatic of GRRM’s severe disservice to his Dothraki characters.
