Warning: This article contains spoilers for episode 5 of The Place of the Winged Serpent. Aside from the fact that a mysterious love always loses, however, it appears to be a mysterious, eccentric love that will never have a happy ending. In the fifth episode of The Place of the Mythical Beast, Princess Rhaenyra (Milly Alcock) prepares for her union with Ser Laenor Velaryon (Theo Nate); before their wedding, Rhaenyra lets Laenor know that she discovers his sexual direction and suggests that they fulfill their illustrious obligations while having different boyfriends.
Rhaenyra wants to continue her problem with Ser Criston Cole (Fabien Frankel), but the fighter will not be her side piece. On the other hand, Laenor’s darling Ser Joffrey Lonmouth (Solly McLeod) is happy to oblige the course of action. Unfortunately, Joffrey and Laenor’s relationship doesn’t go far in light of the fact that Ser Criston Cole soon ends Joffrey’s life. At the end of the day, just after we meet the LGBTQ couple, the saying “cover your gays” makes its grand entrance. Watchers of ‘The Place of the Winged Serpent’ hammer the show for using the saying “cover your gays”.
For those uninformed, the adage “cover your gays” sees weird characters meeting their doom undeniably more regularly than their straight partners. All things considered, strange characters often linger and rarely have the opportunity to settle down. That saying is unimaginably obsolete these days, which explains why many fans have taken to web-based entertainment to share their disappointments regarding the heartbreaking development in Place of the Mythical Beast.
“Place of mythical beast meeting two gay characters with only one of them graphically slammed to the floor on screen twenty minutes after the fact, totally fuck this crap,” wrote one fan on Twitter. Another added: “How long did it take between acquainting an old gay man to the death of one of them, GOT? This is a #buryyourgays record.”
A third fan tweeted a statement from a new Los Angeles Times article that expresses: “The Round of High Positions and the Place of the Winged Serpent regularly acknowledges crossover, but cannot allow eccentric men to do their due, not to mention flourish, it’s more than discouraging. It is dangerous and harmful.”
“The Mythical Beast Place essayists have the significant privilege of designing the new ‘cover your gays’ figure of speech called ‘take down your gays with bare hands,’” a fourth fan wrote on Twitter. A fifth observer impressively expressed: “F-–k Place of the winged serpent. They may have been cold recently to gay individuals. Be that as it may, the cruelest death goes not so much to a primary person as to a gay side who simply needed to protect their man.”
Another observer assured, “if there is anything about gay connections in the Privileged Positions Round universe, there will never be a happy consummation.” Ugh – we wish this wasn’t correct, but in view of the establishment’s history, it is accurate.
Redditors also spoke about the use of the irrational saying, with a composition: “Why wouldn’t that be possible for a circular happy gay story segment? Why do we continually see gay characters being killed off? It’s an imaginary world, [so] Why do we have to see every gay person die or suffer inconceivable injuries?” Because of Redditor, some fans noted that the show is “disastrous for every single person”, while others expressed that killing off the strange characters would have been a sensible outcome during the period, as Westeros is “famously homophobic” and “doesn’t fit in.” into satisfying LGBTQ stories.”
The writers of House of the Dragon really said, “We can’t have gay people in a marriage without everything dissolving into complete chaos. It needs to be believable!”
