hello anon!

i’ve talked with ithrii about this. honestly, it’s not my place to say, but i’m sure ithrii will tell you about how they’re feeling if you contact them. also, it might be good too, to show support! 🤍

what i’m going to do is make the most of this ask and say a few things that have been on my mind for a while.

first and foremost, this fandom is wild. i’ve been in so many fandoms for the best part of 15 years now and house of the dragon is so far the most draining and toxic fandom i’ve been part of.

this doesn’t mean everyone’s terrible. i’ve met numerous people who are kind and brilliant, whom i consider good friends or admire a lot, and i’ve found people with whom i feel such a deep and strong connection. truly, some of the best people i know have come from this fandom. also, house of the dragon has some of the best fandom creators ever, both in writing and in art. specially lucemond, the quality of the content we get for them in insanely good. we’re truly blessed.

but yeah, some of the rudest people i’ve ever seen are part of this too. haters in this fandom just hit different, they’re unrelenting.

ithrii has been harassed for months, their stories have been receiving so much negative comments from both haters or insensitive readers and at the end of the day, it has been too much. and just like what’s happening with ithrii, this happens so much with lots of content creators. even right now as we speak, if you are part of the twitter fandom, and you follow ithrii, you can see the kind of comments they have to put up with.

that’s why i want to remind everyone that leaving positive feedback is very important. you don’t have to be best friends with the author, but leaving kudos is one click away, dropping a “that was so good!” takes just 10 seconds of our days. and it can change the life of a fandom writer. i don’t know why most people who put their passion into the comments are always the ones trying to hate, but we have to help authors to know they have people supporting them. i understand if you’re shy, my social anxiety skyrockets every single time i have to interact with someone, but this is so helpful and so necessary.

ithrii doesn’t deserve this. they’re an author that has always been real about what they write and what they like. and they’ve been such a fantastic friend. it pains me it has come to this. they deserve better, they deserve to feel they have a place in this fandom. so i really encourage you to go and talk to them, because they need to know we care about what’s going on!

thank you for the ask, dear anon. i’m sorry i cannot go about personal details because that’s ithrii’s story to tell. i just can tell you that any support will be appreciated. and also, this answer wasn’t specific just to your ask, i just wanted to seize the opportunity 🤍

my sweet, my love, my queen.

oh my god, you cannot even imagine how much I love this 😭

seeing elliot have a growing spurt and becoming taller than harry is such a treat! also they’re so cute, i love their friendship so much. harry must’ve felt like a real older brother, seeing his baby brother growing up so fast! 🥺 the teasing is so cute, they’re truly the best. i just imagine harry like “let’s not talk about that!” gsajhgdjhd

as for jaceluke, imagine if lucerys does grow taller than jace… oh my god 🫢 someone would most definitely have mixed feelings about this hihihi <3
