cersei being misogynistic isn’t a contradiction, it’s the logical result of the world she grew up in. cersei is both product and perpetuator of that system

- cersei isn’t a feminist and that’s fine, but rebelling against the patriarchy is still part of her character arc especially considering everything she’s been through. that hunger for power didn’t come out of nowhere. i thought that was obvious…
- i’m already apologizing for the terrible person i’ll become once the first photo of elle fanning as effie trinket drops
- and once again i’ll say it: you all ask for complex female characters but can’t even handle cersei lannister.
- Replying to @assadkisseri don't even think they forgot they just choose to ignore it because it suits them
- there’s a really weird habit i’ve noticed in one side of asoiaftwt where everything about cersei gets invalidated her sexuality, her grief over her children, the way she fights against patriarchy, her paranoia, her anger, even her humanity itself
- the hunger games fandom is the only one that gets mad when you post a fic or hc, even tho fandom culture is literally built on hcs & fanfics
- it’s ironically funny how they exclude elle every chance they get like it’s sooo obvious they just can’t separate actor from character but specifically everyone knows it’s all because of a ship war
- let’s not pretend wanting elle fanning as zelda isn’t just a cover for y’all’s transphobia toward hunter schafer
- i love when effie trinket antis censor her name and call her “that woman” like imagine being so pathetic you’re scared to say a fictional character’s name
- people keep missing the point of asoiaf women: they’re not interchangeable archetypes. cersei, sansa, daenerys, catelyn each one shows a different survival strategy under patriarchy. dismissing cersei as ‘just evil’ flattens the whole nuance martin built into his women.
