Ok I'll tell you what works FOR ME wrt picking sides in the dragon show: it isn't about who has the rightful claim or has done fewer/more war crimes, it's about which of the fictional guys entertain me the most. *I'm* the queen and they are my little jesters
You don't need to make up reasons to justify when a ship doesn't do it for you... Just say it doesn't make your pussy or heart or brain go brr that's justification enough
I used to know a guy who was going to become a priest, was in seminar and everything and then when he saw "The Claw" in Toy Story he lost his faith and dropped out
👑 Denmark’s Queen just stripped 4 of her grandchildren of their royal titles so that they can “shape their own existence.”
The kids and their parents aren’t happy. 🧵

Lmao Italy also banned smoking indoors circa 20 years ago and after some initial grumbling smokers did fine by going outside and everyone else enjoyed their meals/dance night/whatever with clear air 😭

Also she conveniently overlooks the part where Sabrina explicitly says “can we take public transport since I’m short on money” and girl

completely ignores her clearly worded, polite request… *she* is the one not respecting boundaries…….
We need to have a conversation on how pop culture from previous generations currently has a harder time trickling down to young people than ever before

This reminds of when someone explained to me that horses have to be actively trained to jump over hurdles because their first instinct would be to logically go around them and save that energy...
Lyanna Stark and ser Gerold Hightower at the Tower of Joy.
A scenario conceived by seaworthit @ tumblr, scripted by
@MaloraHightower
and adapted into a comic by me.
Tbf lots of medieval and Renaissance art depicting Mary with baby Jesus contain allegorical details foreshadowing his death, they just aren’t obvious to us and have been lost in the watered down, commodified version circulating in modern times
I think people didn't notice this yet (sorry if anyone did), but look at Rhaenyra's golden necklace/chain. Each piece has the sigil of one of the noble Houses. You can see the Tully's sigil right beside the Targaryen, and the Lannister (?) on the other side.

If George RR Martin actually released Winds of Winter would anyone actually read it at this point?
It's been like 10 years since I read ASOIAF and I have absolutely no interest in picking it back up.
when Ryan Condal said his favorite asoiaf book is Feast because it's made by smaller, ground level stories and has this theme of the effects of war... I was so used to giving and now I get to receive
Olivia being depressed because people don’t know how to hate Alicent but respect/praise the actress… but they act like we’re delusional because we’re so defensive of her.
@andythelemon_
Italian cooking as well😫 I spent years trying to get my grandmother to teach me her recipes but she was always like "oh I don't know I just eyeball it" and literally took them to her grave
It’s almost like it’s a theme in asoiaf that for all their claims about the rule of law, legitimacy etc. at the end of the day characters are moved primarily by their own goals and passions. Like that might not be the book you want to read but it’s definitely intentional
One thing I've noticed about Game of Thrones is just how little actual politics there is in it, for all its claims to political realism. All of the conflicts are basically personal, (and usually about sex) not about laws, ideology, interests, the structure of political order etc.
I am afraid I am slipping into conspiracy theory territory with the Kate Middleton thing... Because a) it would be so easy to fix with an official video/photo op/statement that isn't vague af and still they do not do it, b) it's FUN
Tangled is the Casino Royale of the Disney Princess franchise meaning that it effectively restarted it and it holds up years later with endless rewatchability but then everyone focused on Frozen (Skyfall) which was bigger and had a better song but a weaker script
I have a theory about why Tangled never really became that popular. It’s not written for kids. The script is funny in a way that appeals more to adults, and the villain is a narcissistic abuser who gaslights and manipulates

I think protestant horror basically has two mainstays: witch hysteria (much more of a thing in Protestant countries than in catholicism) and isolationist/fundie cults (I’d put something like whatever Carrie’s mom was into in this category)
This is beautiful and a much needed counterpoint to all those r/relationships posts about men hating their wives but the dude who manifested his dream partner through a painting needs to let me in on his secrets
your D cup Breasts are a putrid display of opulence, while my A cups (of Which i am NOT insecure about!!) show dignity , nobility, a refined and Modest way of Life.
Just came across a tumblr post re: Targaryens losing their magic that boiled down to "GRRM definitely intended to show that mixing bloodlines is Bad" and like are you sure. Do you realize what that sounds like.
truth be told this is applies to most people projecting onto the past and almost always picturing themselves in an upper class position, when statistically it would be more likely for them to end up as part of the lower class masses and that was a hard, harsh life
the narrative of girls thinking they wouldve been a housewife to an aristocrat if “women didn’t fight to work” needs to die. ur ass would’ve been in the washhouse, burning the tips of your fingers with chemicals while ur kid bites ur ankles cause u couldnt pay their school fees
People are really clutching their pearls about sansan being a top 10 asoiaf ship on ao3... girl george railroad martin has sansan art in his house, you don't get more mainstream than that
Hellraiser is literally the story of a guy who, broadly speaking, opens the gates of hell because he had tried so many extreme sexual experiences on this plane of existence he felt he could only upgrade if he unlocked another dimension. He was THAT horny
Ah fuck it, nobody is going to see it on a Sunday night but I might as well post this super loose doodle of Sandor as a kingsguard, spacing out because he hates his job
GRRM really said: what if I made up a hulking, lethal royal bodyguard who's so severely disfigured he terrifies people but is also secretly sensitive and I called him Sando...q

I'll take similar attractiveness levels but there has to be a different, yet complementary vibe, like stuck up vs carefree? Also they're both blondes! Switch it up at least in the hair department!
Mental 5k of u reading what I write n also punctuation police been on at me (mother) n she says I have to write in sentences but I can reply to comments in text 🙄 also check this pic n promise Im not showing off just feel so happy n also Sorry if I sound like Barry Potter
Brienne cut two wooden swords from fallen branches to get a sense of Podrick's skills. The boy was slow of speech but not of hand, she was pleased to learn. Though fearless and attentive, he was also underfed and skinny, and not near strong enough.

This sort of stuff is my villain origin story, not only it erases the original artist’s (Charlie in this case) authorship, it also spreads misinformation about art history. If I had a dollar for every time I’ve seen obvious tributes/imitations attributed to i.e. Klimt...

- found this chonky fella guarding the island of Torcello, Venice. Very enthusiastic for scritches and even withstood a toddler's attack while keeping an eye on a dog passing by. 20/10 would rub those fat cheeks again
Ridley Scott says ‘THE LAST DUEL’ bombing is because “what we’ve got today [are] the audiences who were brought up on these fucking cell phones. The millennian, [who] do not ever want to be taught anything unless you told it on the cell phone.”

Sam needed sleep as well, but he was drunk on rum and mother's milk and Gilly. He knew he ought to crawl back to his own hammock in the men's cabin, but she felt so good curled up against him that somehow he could not move. (A Feast for Crows, Samwell IV)
