scenes like that always grind my gears a little because it's very much the ol' reliable "how can you sleep at night knowing that you defend rapists and murderers in court, you monster. do you hate babies and the concept of justice" shit defense attorneys, esp PDs, hear all the time 🙄

my job is not to find the truth. my job is not to ascertain or judge guilt. my job is to make the state justify its actions in accordance with the democratically established laws of the union.

because the police should not be allowed to do shoddy work. because failing to defend and maintain the system of checks and balances on law enforcement would erode the foundation of our government and allow for authoritarianism and corruption to fester.

"why should the state have such a high burden of proof when the guy definitely did it?" you may ask, aghast. easy. because the burden of proof for a guilty party and the burden of proof for an innocent one is the same. because the criminal justice system should not mete out punishment without cause.

my job is not to prove that my client didn't do it. my job is to make the state prove that my client did it. if the state cannot prove beyond reasonable doubt that my client committed a crime, then they don't deserve the conviction. what my client did or didn't do is irrelevant. prove it

i do fear this is the truth, unfortunately. it’s funnier to think that lyanna could only think of one targaryen name but i think the real answer is just that the showrunners were bad. tragic
December 1, 2025 at 6:28 PM
actually scratch that. the funnier option is that lyanna named the baby because she forgot the name of rhaegar's other kids. in her final moments after "promise me, ned," her actual last words were "ah shit, wait, fuck-" as it dawned on her too late. that's what i'm going with

this does not work whatsoever though because... rhaegar's son still existed in the show. they explicitly talk about rhaegar's kids by elia martell. the dvd extras specifically name them. so we just have. aegon and Other Aegon. good job rhaegar
December 1, 2025 at 8:24 AM
in the books there's actually a character who claims to BE rhaegar's firstborn son, aegon vi, who is very important and who got yeeted out of the show (which is partially why it fell apart at the end), so presumably they did this as a nod or something?

the idea of rhaegar coming home to king's landing like "hello everyone, i've divorced my wife and am deciding to ignore my kids. in the spirit of this, everyone welcome New Aegon"

you. you get me.

if you want to analyze the text beyond that or find alternative interpretations then that's one thing. i think the book is significant and interesting in a meta-way. but so many people just simply do not seem to grasp the actual meaning of anything stoker is saying beyond the aesthetics.

it's a political malignant shitshow penned by a closeted gay man shitting himself in terror and anxiety over the trial of oscar wilde. the entire book is about the horrors of sexual desire and the evils of sexual temptation. it's bad!
November 25, 2025 at 10:36 PM
i don't understand how people hand wring about the moral purity of like, i don't even know, wuthering heights or some shit, and then meanwhile dracula has some of the most ass-backwards stupid fucking politics of any book i've ever read. and there are simply crickets.
November 25, 2025 at 10:33 PM
to be fair i hate teeth stuff as like, a sensory thing. even biting something Unpleasant makes me never want to open my mouth again, so somebody ramming their mouth bones into mine makes me want to expire
November 22, 2025 at 5:05 AM
LITERALLY and they always just brush it off. like absolutely not. get away from my mouth for the next 3 minutes
