The true crime documentaries to fictionalized movie and tv versions of crimes to true crime podcasts to true crime youtube channels with sponsors and merch to TV mini series being made about crimes less than a decade old that many victims speak out against for profiting of off their/their deceased love one’s trauma while misrepresenting the truth to a film being made about a domestic violence court case that was already live streamed and treated like a tv show being turned into a film the same year it happens pipeline

i love counterspell. "i cast fireball!" no you dont

i fucking haaate being a castle guard dude the king's coat of arms is fucking stupid and all the female courtiers laugh at my tabard. can somebody come usurp this guy already

thinking about how ‘what have i ever done but what was expected of me’ is SUCH a catelyn theon ned victarion cersei line. because theyre RIGHT. and they all want out of the system so bad but they hate anyone whose outside of that system. crabs in a bucket all of them. cersei hates sansa for being that little girl who believes in songs that she used to be and tries to kill the girl in her. victarion acts like a sad soft baby for BEATING HIS WIFE TO DEATH --but by all the laws he knows, this was what he knows to be right. and he hates that he does it but hes too stupid to realize that he was the bad guy. even the Honorable ned looks down on jaime for the crime of *checks notes* killing a tyrant king. the wheel keeps turning. and who will break it?

You think Theon is getting out of everything alive? I am absolutely desperate for a Theon survival even though tbh I don't think it looks very good for him

that’s one of the ones i do not really doubt. all of balon greyjoy’s sons died and he lived. he spent his entire childhood thinking he could be killed at any minute for something that wasn’t his fault and he lived. he turned his cloak and burned winterfell and killed his kin and he lived. he survived ramsay and he wanted to die every day and he jumped off the walls of winterfell with jeyne and he lived. the person he thinks he should have died with is gone. now he has to live.

This is it. This is the whole book. Everyone go home.

Vermithor and Vhagar participating in the dance but having no clue what’s going on:

i hate how people read asoiaf and go But what if they were more strategic. oh renly was so dumb to usurp his brother. cersei was so dumb when she [everything she ever did]. daemon was dumb when he did blood and cheese. and its like but they did those things because theyre renly cersei daemon. renly is an attention whore cos he has no parents and two brothers one of whom is a pussy-slaying frat bro and the other is a closeted middle manager. cersei did dumb things because she was raised by tywin 'caesar was right' lannister in the seven 'patriarchy' kingdoms. and daemon is daemon. you guys just want a book where everyone is a flat personality 500iq MENSA logician. and that sounds like dogshit!

Sansa doods

lyanna and her nieces, had she survived

lyanna talking to arya about swordsmanship, and lyanna gifting sansa a no-face doll (the starks are native and no one can tell me otherwise)

Ned lying to Robert about his bastard and then threatening to expose Cersei for lying to Robert about her bastards was insane behaviour because none of this needed to happen really. His sister’s bastard is entitled to protection but Cersei’s bastards aren’t ? The calls literally coming from inside the house.

And before someone says “Cersei passing off her bastards as legitimate is wrong” should she abandon her children to be openly dehumanised and mistreated to the extreme or murdered then ? “But she shouldn’t have had them in the first place, she is breaking the law” why is Cersei supposed to accept having her body and life policed ? Laws that treat women like chattel and natural children like subhumans are meant to be broken.

Response to this post.

I have to go back to read how his thought process motivated him to continue in spite of a realization he had about what Catelyn would do to protect their kids. Either way, from an aerial view I agree with you. All of it didn't need to happen. But that privileged naivete got him on the search for the truth and Cersei's kids not being his or his family made the decision easier.

Also, any protests about Cersei and her kids, refer to anon's second paragraph.

the cloth motherification of joanna lannister is so evil. me personally i think she would a little bit despise tyrion i think she'd be a bit snobby i think the woman who loved tywin didn't have a heart of gold. WIRE MOTHER!!!!!

Names on Naboo

Something fun: names on Naboo! I love populating my worlds with OCs and I like having names that either sound similar to regular names but suited to fit the language (i.e. Isabella, Isabeau, Isobel) and names that have the same meaning but sound totally different.

So, some [non-canon] names on Naboo, definitely not an exhaustive list though, and their meanings:

Note: For names I have not kept to my own spelling rules, because they're names and they look prettier this way and also that's exactly how Naberrie works. Most are the exact same, but if a name ends with an "e", it is actually an extension of the previous vowel, i.e. Câlude would be spelled "câlood" and pronounced /ca:lu:d/ not /ca:lʊde/.

Everytime a family member belittles Edmure Tully:

GRRM writing female characters: l want to explore the depths of woman. Femininity is so complex and really is at the core of any female character, especially in a medieval system driven by the patriarchy. I want to explore that I want to write women as people so here have a widowed mother who’s watching her teen son become a king and she ends up helping his downfall not because she’s malicious but because she’s his mother and was trying to protect him. And here’s two sister wives who arguably were more influential than their brother and husband and king. And here’s a canonically ugly teenager who’s trying to find her place in the world when she can fit into neither the category of lady or knight. Here are two young sisters both using their specific strengths to survive in environments that wants them dead. I am so good at complex women.

Also GRRM writing female characters: look at this beautiful young lady no one is hotter than her. Men from all over the world chase after her hand. A bastion of grace and class and elegance. Built by the gods themselves to bless this earth. Look here she is getting married and being a dutiful wife and mother. What’s that, you want to learn more about the intricacies of her character? I just told you. She’s the hottest girl in the seven kingdoms and she’s a good wife. Also she’s twelve.

we don’t talk enough about how great a job parisa fakhri is doing playing marwa, especially considering the restraints of the role. the way her mannerisms and tone of voice get more and more “cutesy” as the episodes go by and her true personality is altered by the djinn’s magic is honestly horror movie material, and she does it really subtly and gradually. i didn’t even notice at first but if you compare her speech in 4x02 to when she asks nandor about the flowers or her parents in 4x06, the change is noticeable, her voice is much more high-pitched. even in the wedding itself, her voice only lowers in register when she mentions she has had doubts about the wedding - the only moment where her real thoughts are coming through. as soon as she starts talking about how a feeling came over her and now she wants what nandor wants, her voice gets higher again. i may be wrong but i get the feeling that’s an acting choice on her part, and it really adds a new layer of depth to her moments on the show

i think it’s so fun that westeros is not remotely an imperial or political or trade power outside of westeros and no one gives a shit about it and everyone in essos thinks of it as an irrelevant backwater, which it is. that scene when xaro gives dany the big map and is like and westeros is … somewhere off to the side over there somewhere i don’t know who gives a shit. you should go there. take your ass back to nebraska

this is gonna get me put on a list somewhere but if Rhaenyra and Daenerys could have met they would not end that interaction as friends Rhaenyra would be putting Daenerys in the SJW cringe compilation

Estoy estresada por la entrega de un proyecto de investigación de la universidad

Esta Laena me ayudó a concentrarme en algo más

ok everything else I say about arthur aside I can’t be convinced that he didn’t slice jaime’s shoulders up on purpose while knighting him. oh dawn was just so sharp that he tapped him with the flat of the blade and the side cut his neck/shoulder by accident. yeah right he had jaime on his bloody knees in a sept and saw the bloody knees and said “blood is the seal of our devotion” and cut him up again. maidens blood style. arthur dayne I know what you are and you can pry my reading of this as a facet of grrm’s knighthood critique in this case specifically about knighthood as a predatory institution. out of my cold dead hands
