Most directors (it seems): The sexiest thing is sex.

Me: The sexiest thing is when two people spend weeks staring at each other in longing and then their hands brush against each other, and then they hug, but like with their whole bodies and one person puts their hand on the back of the other's head and it feels like they will never stop hugging because they've wanted it so bad, and then they kiss ONCE (1 time) but it feels earned.

gay people can never say 'I love you' it's always gotta be some shit like "I have never been so wrong, in all my life"

Do you ever think about how Tolkien’s vision of the greatest evil in the universe was something he referred to as “The Machine” which was his way of talking about accelerated industrialism and mass surveillance and he wrote multiple books where the main villains were a dragon who sits on a huge pile of treasure that he never intends to use but incinerates anyone who comes near it, a man in a giant tower who’s wrecking the environment with his factories, and an evil being who uses what’s essentially a listening device to control the citizens of middle earth. And now Amazon is making a Tolkien show. Do you ever think about that.

In honor of Earth Day, here’s Tolkien as the Lorax (I was inspired by their shared love of trees).

THE STARKS ARE BY FAR THE MOST PROLIFIC FAMILY IN THE UPPER ECHELONS OF SOCIETY

Arya Stark travels a lot. If interrogated on the subject, she’d justify saying that there’s just much more of the world then the eternal circle that the aristocracy lives on. The answer matches her personality so much that rarely ever someone second guesses it, even Gendry, who knows her better than most.

Frequenting the Starks manor for years now, he has spent a lot of time silently observing Arya, her easy-going way, her enchanting smile and her sharp tongue, inwardly scribbing a life where he could ever ask for her hand. However, as the bastard he is, he has to content himself with his quiet yearning.

It’s all bound to remain the same forever, until they spend more and more time together and their perception of each other start to change, making both of them question what they thought they knew about each other—and themselves.

THE STARKS ARE BY FAR THE MOST PROLIFIC FAMILY IN THE UPPER ECHELONS OF SOCIETY

Jon Snow has always felt apart from the rest of his family. It’s not only the name or the fact he doesn’t share the parentage with the ones he calls siblings. He’s also confused about his part on society; he doesn’t feel truly seen by anyone.

Once he shares a special moment with a strange man in a masquerade, he feels that his trajectory is traced: finding that person that changed him inside.

One, two, three years pass without him ever knowing that he met this man again, until he crosses paths with Satin Flowers, a servant with whom he gets along straight away. He can even feel the sparks flying once again, like they did in that night, but it will take a lot of him to understand that they might be the same person—and that they aren’t from such different worlds.

THE STARKS ARE BY FAR THE MOST PROLIFIC FAMILY IN THE UPPER ECHELONS OF SOCIETY

     Robb Stark has been carrying much responsability from a young age. Ever since his father died, he has been taking care of all his family’s necessities.      Is thinking of his duty that his put aside the last trace of his youth and decides to marry. However, remembering the state of his mother after the death of Ned Stark, he’s determined to settle in a loveless match: a wedding with an agreable woman, but not one he desires passionately, will make his obligations much easier to execute.      That is, until Jeyne Westerling enters the scene. Neither of them would think she’d be a problem to his plan; she’s not extraordinarily beautiful or has the most docile personality, her house name doesn’t compare to his, nor does her fortunes. And yet, Robb catches himself more and more attracted to her person and by the sparkles that come from all their—bickering—encounters.

THE STARKS ARE BY FAR THE MOST PROLIFIC FAMILY IN THE UPPER ECHELONS OF SOCIETY

⠀   Sansa Stark has all that a debutant might wish for herself: she’s the first daughter of a lord of great name and fortune, has beauty that goes beyond words and all the manners and talents a lady ought to possess. But apparently these aren’t enough attributes, because the end of her first season is approaching and she hasn’t received any considerable proposal.

⠀ That is, until her older brother’s best friend suggestes a ruse that might help her attract the attention she seeks: he’ll pretend to court her.

⠀ It’s only acting, of course, since Theon Greyjoy is not only an infamous rake, but also has no intention of ever marrying. But the effect is immediate and undeniable, and every pair of eyes in polite society is turned to them, while they exchange seductive glances and smiles that will blur the line between reality and make-believe and leave both Sansa and Theon conflicted by the strong attraction they feel toward each other when both want completely different things for their lives.
