What aunt_Zelda Thinks: Breaker of Chains
X-Posted to my tumblr because why not.
GET YOUR FILTHY PAWS OFF THAT CHILDBRIDE, YOU FREAK.
Ahem.
I don't like that guy. He skeeves me out so bad. I hope Sansa stabs him in the night. And takes command of the ship. And becomes a pirate queen. I don't care if that's not what happens in the books. Fuck you. Sansa for Pirate Queen. She can marry Yara and rule the Iron Isles together.
Also, whoa, Dontos got killed. That makes me sad. I think he was genuine and Baelish used him and disposed of him when he was no longer of use.
Looks like Margaery didn't know Joffrey was gonna be poisoned.
Excuse me who else would pay good money to hear Tywin Lannister give The Talk? I bet he doesn't know a thing about cunnilingus, he's one of those assholes who's like "just stick it in her until you come, it's about making heirs, not making her happy. Know what makes women happy? Babies! Missionary is the only way!"
And … and then there is a rape scene.
And I am disturbed. And upset. That's TWO rape scenes that were not rape scenes in the books (that I know of, there's probably more), with women saying "no" explicitly and the man not caring and going ahead. First the Dany and Drogo scene in S1, and now this.
Who the hell thought that was a good idea!??!?!?!?! Seriously, all of Jaime's character development just flew the fuck out the window. He's actually WORSE OFF than he was before all his character development because they took away his one good quality, that he cared about his sister. Now even that's been taken away.
Awwww, Sam.
STANNIS! STANNIS! DAVOS! DAVOS! DAVOS!
DAVOS AND SHIREEN. READING LESSONS.
"Your father lacks an appreciation of the finer points of bad behavior."
Awwwww.
Can we just have the Davos and Shireen Show. No rape, no murder, no major character death, just history stories of Westeros. And like, Davos can make projects on the histories of the seven kingdoms and Shireen can grade them.
BISEXUAL POLYAMOROUS ORGY YAAAAAAAAY. I DON'T CARE IF IT'S SEXPOSITION I DON'T CARE IF IT'S "ALL BISEXUALS ARE SLUTS" I DON'T CARE IF IT'S "LOOKIT THESE ETHNIC AMOROUS PEOPLE." I NEED TO TAKE HAPPINESS WHERE I CAN IN THIS EPISODE AND I WILL CLING TO THIS LIKE A LIFEBOAT OK.
AAHHAHAHAAA, Lord Tywin Lannister, cockblocking everyone. AHAHAHAHAHA. I love that he gets to see that scene.
Well, that was quite a good scene, I'm happy. Tywin and Oberyn Martell, talking politics. I enjoyed that a lot.
Auuuuuwwww, Pod. He's a good lad.
"They want you to send your own champion against him."
Send a dragon. Barbecued champion of the city: they lose.
I swear to god if Dany does that bullshit "I can make 10 more sons" thing that urban legend says Caterina Sforza did (she did not) I will turn off this show.
I know it's very White Savior, I know it's not ok, White Woman Saving Brown Women From Brown Men. That is not ok. That's taking the agency away from the people and making it all about this white savior woman coming in and rescuing them so she feels better about herself. It's just another power fantasy.
But it makes me happy that Dany is going around, not appealing to the rich and wealthy, but those that the rich and wealthy don't even think about, and that's how she's building her army. She could easily go in and take the support of the rich and powerful, and ignore the slaves, or take, say, an army of slaves and not worry about that. But she's not. She's freeing the slaves wherever she goes. Now, whether this is an economically viable practice considering the empires constructed on slave labor she is systematically destroying as she goes, that remains to be seen (how is this army being fed? I want to KNOW!) but she is trying at least. And considering some of the horrible stuff going on in this show, a woman with a White Savior Complex who is going around and actually freeing thousands of slaves and dismantling oppressive city states … that's not the worst thing going on here by far.
Next week: looks like no Stannis. Or Davos. Or Melisandre. Or Shireen. D:
Team Dragonstone! *waves flag* One of the only teams that hasn't condoned rape … yet!
Also Team Martell, Team Bisexual Stereotypes. Because fuck you, I will take happy poly couples where I can find them.
