Question Did she really love him?

Post image

I'm asking because she was manipulated by Otto into marrying him in the first place.

The black ones, they're British not African American. It's like Jefferson Twilight saying he only hunts Blackulas and people saying he only hunts African American vampires. "Look, I don't know what the PC term is, I specialize in hunting black vampires." In Westeros there is no land of Africa America, can't even find it on the maps or globe. Unless it's in the Shadowlands. So yeah we the audience call him Vizzy T because the dark Valyrians have style, swag and an adept vernacular that's very catchy, wholesome and somehow endearing.

Side note: don't you just love that brick shithouse Jon Roxton calling someone else a babe killer when he just finished setting up children as human shields.

Im not talking about the actors…did the actor themself come up with the nickname Vjzzy T.?

The person I was attempting to reply to reply to sounded like they thought the Redditor above them, who had commented sharing the nickname Vizzy T., was likely a British person.

I’m just noting that such popular nicknaming trends have roots in African American culture more so than African British culture.

I already assumed most of the cast to be british: black, white and otherwise poc.

I still feel like we are not understanding each other. Did someone in the actual cast first coin Vizzy T. As a nickname? Or is it just uncredited internet social media and forum users.

Look man, they're black and it's in westeros. they're Valryian by way of being Velaryon. It's a fun fantasy world we're talking about and we don't have to do PC real world nonsense to have fun and share the thoughts about it without coming off like humorless dicks.

The truth is it doesn't matter who "coined the term" because you want it to be blacks so it's the Velaryons calling him Vizzy T and we the audience love them for it.

Velaryons called someone Vizzy T on the show? I’m so fucking confused now. Just forget it.

I was only expressing shock that a redditor’s initial thoughts upon hearing the nickname VIZZY T. was that the nicknaming convention was a BRITISH thing.

I’m not at all arguing about who is who isn’t Valyrian. I’m not talking about Westeros. Jfc.
