This Episode Is Annoying Me For A Number Of Reasons But The Pure Burning Rage I Felt When That Pathetic

Am I an avid Team Black supporter? Yes.

Do I understand where the Greens are coming from? Also yes.

Aegon would have been the better choice for heir initially because a male heir would have been less contentious. That’s a simple fact. Unfortunately, he wasn’t raised to be king, Rhaenyra was, and there was no way she wouldn’t have pressed her claim.

Frankly, Viserys and Otto were responsible for this whole mess, and they are the only two characters that I actually dislike (their actors did an excellent job).

FATE: THE WINX SAGA relationships FARAH DOWLING and BLOOM PETERS

it's insane because Mon is going to flee the Empire. we know this. things are going to get fucked enough that it's not safe for her to stay. but how on earth her husband and daughter fit into this we have no idea.

i assume she is going to work with the Chandrilan mob guy.

i mean i feel like, just based on assumptions, Lieda is definitely going to be at least initially into meeting this random cute boy and then after Mon has convinced herself it was just an introduction that's definitely not all it will stay. and i mean.... i imagine in order for her to give the speech she gives in Rebels (which is during season 3 so i think that's actually 3BBY) we'll see how all of that plays out next season on Andor, or more specifically what leads up to that. but i imagine things have to be completely fucked already. she knows she'll have to flee after that speech. so maybe things were already at that point and she had nothing to lose and everything to gain. she went out speaking the truth and becoming a 'traitor.'

I name the Emperor, himself, for ordering the brutal attacks on the people of Ghorman. Their peaceful world is one of countless systems helpless against his oppressive rule. This massacre is proof that our self-appointed Emperor is little more than a lying executioner, imposing his tyranny under the pretense of security. We cannot allow this evil to stand.

and then she doesn't just disappear she gives a speech, from the Ghost, to bring together the Alliance to Restore the Republic

This is Senator Mon Mothma. I have been called a traitor for speaking out against a corrupt Galactic Senate. A Senate manipulated by the sinister tactics of the Emperor. For too long I have watched the heavy hand of the Empire strangle our liberties, stifling our freedoms in the name of ensuring our safety. No longer! Despite Imperial threats, despite the Emperor himself, I have no fear as I take new action. For I am not alone. Beginning today we stand together as allies. I hereby resign from the Senate to fight for you, not from the distant hall of politics but from the front lines. We will not rest until we bring an end to the Empire, until we restore our Republic! Are you with me?

anyway I'm so interested to see how she gets from Andor episode 10 to here.

I love that they included every house she represents, even Baratheon!!

You like one you end up going through all of them it’s just facts

Sorry darling I don’t make the rules

Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

Not to get all philosophical or anything, but that’s like a really good metaphor.

People who start out with everything and lose half are upset, but people who start out with nothing and gain half are excited.

So maybe you were asking the right question, because whether someone’s an optimist or a pessimist can have a lot to do with how the liquid got there in the first place.

when i was a kid i used to respond to the "glass half full/half empty" question by asking how the liquid in the glass got there in the first place. nobody ever gave me a chance to explain my reasoning so i'm doing it now

if you have a glass and it has some liquid in it, up to the halfway line, whether it is empty or full depends on what happened before the question was asked. if you started with a full glass and poured half out until only half remained, the glass is half empty, because if you continued pouring it would be fully empty. however, if you started with an empty glass and poured liquid from another container into the glass up to the halfway line, the glass is half full because if you continued pouring it would be all the way full. logical, no?

i was 13 years old when somebody finally told me it was supposed to be some kind of optimism/pessimism thing. i always thought it was a riddle that nobody let me solve

The Empire are Space Nazis.

Louder for the people in the back: THE EMPIRE ARE SPACE NAZIS.

Whatever else they are, whatever representations of more modern evils they might be used as, The Empire was created to be Space Nazis.

I might be the last one to the party here, but what if one of the reasons River sacrificed herself in the Library was because she knew her time with the doctor was up, in the sense that she would never meet a Doctor who knew her again? Like, she said that the day she was most afraid of was the day he wouldn’t recognize her anymore and that she was more afraid of that that the Doctor’s death or her own, so what if part of her reason for choosing to die that day was the fact that she couldn’t bear to look him in the eye again, knowing he would never recognize her from that moment on
