#this can also be about game of thrones

[trashy-greyjoy]

sometimes, it's not so much about the romance as it is about the devotion. the adoration.

#pacific rim #black sails #the x-files #the bear #game of thrones #raleigh x mako #jack x anne #msr #sydcarmy #theonsa #i could go on forever i think #for me personally it is also about the romance and i do think they should all kiss and be in love but thats not THE POINT- #*adam scott meme* its about the vulnerability and unconditional care one has with someone else #how many different ways can i make this same post lets count

[svtskneecaps]

also in terms of the bolas playlist it's fascinating to me that the songs added by each person have a slight tendency to represent a consistent aspect of bolas

like

the songs added by slime are their chaos

the songs added by philza are their rebellion

the songs added by cellbit are their rage

the songs added by baghera are their anguish

it's so fucking FASCINATING TO ME but i don't know enough music theory to elaborate lmfao this is Vibes Only

(mouse's songs i can't boil down to an easy noun which is why they aren't mentioned lmao anyway they go hard asf)

(also i went on the longest fucking unhinged elaboration in the tags lmfao i almost didn't have enough tags left to tag "long tags" at the end

(i could have even gone on longer in terms of where their characters were at entering purgatory [philza: cage for a cage; cellbit: fed worker murders; baghera: her past as a federation experiment; slime: turning into a code because of the code pretending to be his daughter] but i ran out of space and also time it's 4AM AAAAA)

#qsmp #qsmp purgatory #this is a sweeping generalization btw esp for baghera's she added a WIDE variety of music #qsmp bolas #sorry i forgot that tag existed lmao #i will elaborate slightly: #slime added: find your flame; gas gas gas extended; waltz of the meatball man; foghorn sound effect #philza added: b.y.o.b.; throne; the melting point of wax #cellbit added: hayloft II; brazilian dança phonk (which roier literally played during purg while beating the shit out of bbh lmao) #baghera added: can you feel my heart; still waiting; and coincidentally she added 'it's been so long' (the fnaf song lol) #TO BE CLEAR THESE ARE GENERALIZATIONS #baghera also added the government knows [REBELLION] and oops [CHAOS] #philza added given up [ANGUISH] #cellbit added zombie [ANGUISH] and tokyo drift [CHAOS] #slime added as above so below [ANGUISH] #it's not a perfect category; ESPECIALLY for baghera's songs i want to make that so clear in these tags #HOWEVER. it is interesting. #anyway i went after lyrics for these examples but just generally when going through the playlist the first time #i kind of learned that like. #music to murder to was probably cellbit; punk millenial music was probably philza #the wackiest shit was probably slime (was shocked to find out tokyo drift was a cellbit song for this reason lmao) #baghera's i usually could only pin down bc it didn't sound like anyone else's #and mouse's added songs i could not describe the vibe if you threatened me for it but it has one #i guess the closest vibe is 'a college radio station run by anime fans' and even then it's not that close #it kinda excludes songs like the b//ad bun//ny songs #unless college anime fans are also fans of them in which case great! #IDK IT'S 4 AM I WAS JUST MAKING MYSELF SAD ABOUT TILIN I NEED TO GO TO SLEEP #shut up vic #block game brainrot #long tags

We as a fandom don’t talk enough about how Game of Thrones decided to combine Jon Snow and Young Griff into one character and how that was absolutely ridiculous on like 1000 different levels. Because how do you combine two characters who are FOILS to one another and then play it completely straight?! Then to make matters worse they gave Jon the boy’s stupid name?! Goddamnit I knew they didn’t get Jon as a character pretty early on, but why mesh his arc with the one guy you shouldn’t combine with? 😭

#top 3 greatest got crimes I fear #talk about understanding neither character #like Aegon is there to serve as a foil to Jon and inform on a lot of the tropes grrm is deconstructing with Jon’s arc #you can’t make them the same character because you completely miss the whole point #also remember when they combined jon and stannis? #like people acknowledge that and are like yeah fine what ever but like…. #am I the only one who also freaking HATES that?!? #because Jon and Stannis are anti-parallels you CANT DO THAT #without completely ruining Jon’s arc #like idc if it ruins stannis’ plot line but I care about Jon because he’s one of the central/main characters!!! #you can’t combine his story line with more minor characters who are meant to serve as foils to him #but what else can I expect from the themes are for eighth grade book reports brigade #jon snow #aegon vi targaryen #young griff #asoiaf #game of thrones

BBC Merlin is a tragedy in that Merlin's choices that were all to save Arthur's life led to Arthur's death, but that doesn't mean it was all for nothing!! The events across their 10 years together led to a new world order which eventually brought about everything they had worked towards!! PLUS THEIR RELATIONSHIP BROUGHT JOY AND MEANING TO BOTH OF THEIR LIVES!! That means something!! GUYS!! listen guys that MEANS SOMETHING!!

#it's not like game of thrones which left us with the feeling that everything is pointless #bbc merlin #merlin #it was their love for each other that brought about the new world order!! #also I feel like people haven't watched the show in a while i keep seeing people say that Merlin betrayed his own kind #HE TRIED TO HELP THEM WHENEVER HE COULD #he introduced morgana to the druids!! He protected Gilli and told him about his magic even tho he couldve betrayed him!! #it's just that he HAD to also protect himself!! it was self preservation ok! #and sure eventually protecting arthur became more important to him than anything else #but how can ya'll play/watch TLOU and be like OBV Joel would doom the world for Ellie and then turn around and be like #merlin is a traitor to his people!! he did all he could for the promise of their future!!! and he's YOUNG and he DID HIS BEST #and how many people would let their loved ones die for a vague idea of a better society #yeah I'm a merlin apologist what of it #it's just such a nuanced issue you know i'm not saying he was right but i'm not saying he was wrong either

Why do dudebros hate a feast for crows so much? We get such interesting POVs like Cersei, Arianne and Brienne.

One literally said Sansa is still idiotic as fuck and Brienne should be finished because her story is boring and adds nothing to the plot.

Like, are we reading the same books? Do you understand the point the author’s trying to make? Are you that far up your own ass to be that blind?

#Oh and don’t even get me started on the prose is so pretentious #we know ‘pretentious’ is just a euphemism for ‘I can’t read’ #but that’s still slightly beside the point #the ugly stepchild of asoiaf #hope they had given this book 0.75 minutes on the show #huh? #I’ve only read it a little but the sand snakes are the best coolest characters I’ve ever encountered #in asoiaf and otherwise #and what’s the point of Brienne? #she IS the point #the foil to all the knights we have seen in the series till now #also yes Catelyn’s back you can die mad about it #I swear y’all read the books with your ass cheeks #🙄 #asoiaf #sansa stark #brienne of tarth #arianne martell #cersei lannister #game of thrones #affc #a feast for crows #why was I looking for reviews #sigh #it’s on me guys #they way their misogyny and racism just JUMPS out #you just wanna see people get murdered needlessly #you thought this was your manbro alphamale novel #and when it when it proved to be otherwise #with WOMEN’s POVs your dick shrank back inside huh

Daeron the Good ended the deeply troubling tradition of grooming children into incest. He was a good father to his children. He challenged his own shitty father's crazy schemes. He wed a Dornish princess whom he was a good husband to and did his best to get rid of the anti-Dornish sentiment in the Seven Kingdoms at the time. He kept wise and capable men around to advise him. He treated his bastard half-siblings with respect he didn't even owe them. He did what no Targaryen king before, including Aegon the Conqueror could and brought Dorne into the Seven Kingdoms, not by bloodshed but by diplomacy. He put down a massive rebellion. For 25 years he was king and the realm prospered under his rule. People literally remembered him as "the good".

But sure, Daemon Blackfyre should have been king because he had a cool sword and was a "True Targaryen". Because being a Targaryen king means being a bloodthirsty tyrant who mistreats the people around him and takes only his desires into account when making a move that will affect the lives of thousands. Daeron did everything just right, like no king has done before but still he is glossed over or worse, antagonized because he was simply not "cool enough".

King Daeron II cared, and to some people that is apparently boring.

#i can talk all day about how we don't appreciate daeron ii nearly enough for all he has done #everyone is like “omg targ men are abusive to their wives and children and don't care about the smallfolk” #but when one of them does they go “nah i like the bloodthirsty entitled maniac better” #daeron the good fucking challenged systematic racism in westeros #like come on him being criticized for bringing “dirty Dornishmen” into his court and treating them decently #guess what he also broke the incestuous cycle of abuse until jaehaerys ii and shaera ruined it #asoiaf #a song of ice and fire #hotd #house of the dragon #because fucking targaryens #house Targaryen #daeron ii targaryen #mariah martell #aegon iv targaryen #aegon the conqueror #daemon blackfyre #blackfyre rebellion #game of thrones #got

Realized I don't think Mei knew Scar was still alive when she left the country which is a bummer since I am very fond of their weird mutual adoption situation. Maybe the trade agreement with Ishval was her one policy contribution before she blissfully abandoned the political sphere to look cute and have a good time.

#'we should build a train there' #'oh for trade relationships' #'sure but also so I can visit my dad <3' #meanwhile her collection of middleaged dads knew about the whole fratricidal game of thrones thing #so their reaction to hearing that she got hauled off by one of her siblings was probably D:< #Scar writing a letter to the guy his one encounter with was him popping out of a sewer drain #and forcefeeding a monster a grenade like #'I am currently taking a break from assassinating political figures but I can start again at any time' #it's fine. she can take care of herself #perpetual perpetual ladies night #fma

Idk why so many fantasy otome games have the mc get dropped into a school setting and they just??? Go along with it??? After not being in school for a few years sometimes? "You gotta pass your classes or else" or else what, evil headmaster who is probably the reason I'm here? You're gonna kick me out of the school i don't want to be at??? Bro I'm 25 I'm not doing highschool again. I'm gonna go hang out in the evil magic woods and probably die cause I'd rather do that then magic algebra.

#otome games #mostly about uhhh #court of darkness #but also #obey me #and any other one you can think of #dont tell anyone of your magic powers. they say. go to class. they scold. get good grades. they comand #im a grown adult you cant tell me what to do youre not my real dad #if i were in cod id never go to class and tell the ira king and guys dad that i have power but they gotta fight over me #and cause a war so that iras king dies so lance could take the throne and redistribute the wealth #and then demolish the kingdom and tuen it into a democracy i think he'd enjoy that

#Went to Confession (again) #am still at my most miserable and confused #look I am aware I cannot ask of the priest to tell me <<oh that was only a venial sin you needn't mind>> #but it's also just really freaking hard when you just cannot tell a venial sin from a mortal one #and I know - I know - if you looked at it my attitude towards life is pretty dumb #to write a scathing report: i view life as a path of least resistance.

I have a terrible habit of not reading the books I own, so I am going to post here on tumblr to force myself to act. I am like 130 pages from the end of game of thrones, 1/3 of the way through brave new world, halfway through rethinking suicide, and very near the beginning of my late granddad's memoire. I want to finish game of thrones this week, and get further through brave new world. I will do this. this will definitely work. I never make false promises as far as goals are concerned I promise...

I don't understand why the hell HBO Rome (or as I call it, Game of Romes, since it feels like a re-skin of Game of Thrones ngl) needs to significantly change historical events.

The show takes place during the fall of the Roman republic! AKA one of THE most interesting, densely packed 15-year periods of history to ever take place!!!!

There is shit that happened during that time that is unbelievable except for the fact that we have proof! And if you as a writer want us to be able to believe those moments, you can't just randomly change shit to make it so actually it was your special OCs who brought down the Roman Republic!!!

Special shout out to Roman Cersei AKA 'Octavian's mom but for some reason she is literally just Cersei from Game of Thrones' [edit: I have just been informed this show came out like 10 years before Game of Thrones. So I guess Cersei is actually the new Atia!]

#listen I don't know that much about the actual historical Julia of the Atii but from what I can tell there are no accounts of her being #anything like Cersei Lannister. I'm guessing some HBO executive was like #the people love Cersei Lannister on Game of Thrones. therefore this show also needs a Cersei Lannister. the chart says that Cersei sells!! #original #roman history #Julius Caesar #Marc Anthony #Cicero #Octavian Caesar #Octavius Caesar #Augustus Caesar #the Roman Republic #the Roman Empire #I mean it just drives me fucking insane it is already a fascinating period of history #within which you could easily write incredible and accurate historical fiction! #having your two main characters be two of Caesar's soldiers is a good idea! they could get up to incredibly interesting things! #who's to say they wouldn't be interacting with great historical figures?? #but there's absolutely no need to actually change the historical events! #I cannot stress enough that the 8 years in which this show takes place WERE. FUCKING. WILD. #Cleopatra legitimately had herself delivered to Caesar in a laundry bag! as far as we know that actually happened!!! #it is enough to have your soldiers represent the lives of the everyman in a history mostly remembered thru the acts of 'Great Men'! #I actually think that is a hugely important aspect of historical dramas! but it doesn't work! if actually! they aren't everymen!!!! #when they pull off some weird rewriting of a major historical event it's distracting bc I actually would like to know what really happened! #and how a person who cannot control the tide of History was affected by that!! #but nooOoooOooo #instead I have to second guess every single fact presented because who gives a fuck! gods!! I was hoping to learn something!!! #hbo rome #woops i meant Atia of the Julii.
