Hmmm It's Called House Of The Dragon But We Got Surprisingly Little Dragon Content. House Of The Crazy

Maya, Joe, Joseph, Noah, and Finn really be carrying this show on their backs

ever since maya and natalie have been talking about leaning into ronance & joseph quinn has been saying a lot of things about how he changed eddie’s characters from the original creation done by the duffer brothers (his rings, being more friendly than mean, his queerness), i’ve been thinking a lot more about the way that fandom perceives writers opinions v actors' acting choices.

i think that fans tend to value the opinions of writers more than actors because we have been taught by some fandoms *cough cough* that actors' decisions are unimportant. when in reality, i think characters' personalities heavily come from the way the actor plays them and perceives them. this is very evident in joe and maya discussing the bathroom scene in s3 and joseph creating eddie's image.

no way in hell the duffer brothers intended for eddie to be a queer character. they have shown time and time again they don’t care about queer characters, let alone enough to make them well-written queer characters. however, joseph has stated that he intentionally played up eddie's attraction/flirtation to steve because he thought it fit his character.

i think in fandom we’re very easily dismissive of ourselves and our interpretations of media because we’ve been so harmed in the past by creators and writers of shows. i think a lot more emphasis needs to be placed on the way that actors interpret characters, because generally they are the ones that know the best since they play them.

this was long and rambly but heavily inspired by @wastedonyoursmile 's post about the duffers & queerbaiting.

no words

Sonia: You are not good enough for my son, and I don't want you around him. End. Of. Story.

Richie *at the door with a guitar*: So why don't you give me one more-

Sonia: *slams the door close*

The truth isn’t that Gabriel hates Marinette, it’s actually that he’s a Marichat stan and thinks that Adrinette is getting in the way of his ship

I mean can you see the excitement on this guy?!?!

Labour by Paris Paloma was written for Alicent Hightower btw.

rick and michonne from the walking dead are an iconic bi4bi couple but y'all aren't ready to hear that

‘nothing in canon points to Hermione being a lesbian’

So. Um. I just found out that there are Daemon stans editing Blood and Cheese and saying that they’re excited to “see the Greens get what they deserve.” And I just…. 😟

What the actual fuck is wrong with you guys?

I knew y’all were… unique in a bad way. But.

You really have no qualms about going on the internet and saying that you’re EXCITED to watch a literal toddler get murdered in front of his mother and young siblings?????? And you think that the toddler and his family deserves that???? And you worship the man who endorsed this murder and act like it’s some great war strategy or honorable act of vengeance? 🤨

rhaenyra not wanting to get married in the show and ‘do her duty’ has nothing to do with viserys ‘spoiling her’ or her being a ‘selfish brat’ but everything to do with watching her mother be forced into pregnancy over and over again, each time resulting in a dead baby and eventually DYING because of this; she views marriage as a death sentence.
