Regardless if my new fic Sandstorm turns out to be successful or not, I’ll be writing and posting for that until Season 3 of The Mandalorian comes out so I can continue with my series on that show! I WILL REWRITE THAT SERIES, but not until February!
So till then I’ll write for Sandstorm! Ill upload the summary and masterlist tomorrow hopefully, until then have this…
Tony: You're not religious, Pete. You don't even believe in hell
Peter: I beat up a blind man
Tony: What. The. Fuck.
Clint: Not cool, man
Peter: I didn't know he was blind!
Tony: how could you not tell he was blind!?
Peter: he was wearing a costume and I thought he was trying to mug some guys so I stopped him but it turns out he was stopping them from chasing this other guy!
Tony: A blind man was beating people up? Thats pretty impressive
Peter: Right!? Then he went to a dumpster-
Clint: Oh don't worry about that Pete- that's just Matt
Peter: you know him?
Clint: yeah he's a great guy, we shared a dumpster once. He always loses his canes
Tony: a deaf guy is friends with a blind guy? How do you talk?
Clint: we usually just skip the talking and get straight to the vigilante stuff
"The she-wolf laid into the squires with a tourney sword, scattering them all. The crannogman was bruised and bloodied, so she took him back to her lair to clean his cuts and bind them up with linen."
I personally don’t mind the reveal that Aegon the Conqueror was motivated by dragon dreams about tptwp/war for the dawn; I actually like it quite a lot. Mostly because I like how Aegon’s legacy basically becomes: the unification of the realm and its peoples (a wholly positive thing) AND the iron throne (which has become a symbol of war and destruction). Aegon brought the realm together, but he also created that stupid pointy chair. The irony is that this chair, made of swords from all over the realm thus being a representation of all the different peoples in Aegon’s new kingdom, is meant to be the symbol of peace and unity. But in the current story, it’s become the driving force of disunity. And now hundreds of years later, now that the real threat that Aegon dreamed of has actually arrived, the realm is much too focused on who gets to sit on the silly chair more than anything else. Which imo would fall in quite nicely with GRRM’s deconstruction of prophecy, how people interpret it, and the ripple effects from those actions.
obv wouldn’t happen bc then there’d be no book but it would have been so funny if ned rlly did just grab the girls and fuck off back to winterfell after his big fight w bobby b. the entire realm still ends up at war with each other somehow and the starks are just chilling up north, ned and cat singlehandedly repopulating the bloodline by popping out yet another kid. iconic.
crazy how in c2 they'll have three extensive convos checking in with each other while traveling like an hour in-game meanwhile in c3 they've been on the moon for days and still haven't discussed the following:
laudna fucking ate a guy
imogen's mom is a mythical legend amongst the enemy
orym vs. laudna's response to imogen giving into predathos
how did chetney suddenly learn to make hypnotizing toys
delilah briarwood
"some of us are expendable, we should get captured"
anything and everything they said during the trust exercise, including but not limited to:
laudna not being able to distinguish her thoughts from delilah's
imogen's disgust at delilah's inevitable presence
chetney's fear that his new family will leave him
orym's feelings about dorian
fcg relieving stress through murder
fearne's insecurities about their chances of success
One part of me: I love that they are showing strong masculine friendships, two men being vulnerable, two incredibly masculine men in a very masculine profession, no less, being supportive of each other, showcasing a different way to have a family, a friendship that runs deep, they don't need to make it romantic because it's already amazing, the fact that it's on television is such a huge step, fab. 10/10.
Also me: TO THE CORE TO THE CORE TO THE COOOOORRRREEEEE! 😍
