Obsessed with outwardly violence (allowed, approved, encouraged) as represented by Criston Cole vs hidden violence (seemingly discouraged, actually very much part of every fiber of this world) as represented by Larys Strong. Especially with their roles as kingsguard (state sanctioned violence) / master of whisperers (violence depended on by the state), and how alicent is in the center of it all. How she's not allowed to be violent, and yet still is enmeshed with it all, how she still has her moment of rage, of violence for violence (knife fight, an eye for an eye)

the only ‘coles’ in the main series being will and dick cole in the golden company is really funny mainly bc men in the golden company can take any name they want, often extinct great house names, but cole isn’t a great house there’s only one relevant cole ever meaning it seems to be a conscious reference to criston specifically. funny ass name to take in the putting a targaryen bastard line on the iron throne club he’d hate that

if they didnt want me to be attracted to ser criston cole maybe they shouldnt have given him big brown eyes and a chain and unruly ever-so-slightly long hair. i said what i said and i will not take it back.

Alicent: hey, Criston, do you know anything about maybe Rhaenyra and Daem-

Criston: YOU’RE RIGHT, I ADMIT IT! IT WAS ME! IT WAS MY SIN! PLEASE, I BEG OF YOU, SIMPLY BE MERCIFUL AND KILL ME!

Alicent: what the fuck

really really like how criston exhibits the medieval knightly virtues (generosity courtesy chastity fellowship and piety) more than almost any modern hero archetype and is unambiguously a bad person. he genuinely doesn’t believe he’s going to hell for killing a lot of people (that was for the greater good) he thinks it’s for having sex once

“criston wouldn't love alicent if he saw past her religious facade” my brother in christ he watches her lunge at a seven year old and attempt to slice his eye out and yet he still stays loyally by her side. i think he's in it for the long run

The reason why Criston has a different haircut is because he's going off to war and doesn't have his full 99-step haircair routine available to him so he decided to make things a little more manageable.

not to be dramatic but “everything that I’ve done, everything that I’ve sacrificed, all the awful things I’ve done in order in order to facilitate your ascension is because I love the bones of you” is literally burned into my brain forever. I have quite literally thought about it every day since I first read it. olivia cooke you are everything.

the alicent-criston-larys greenie triangle is soooo fun bc criston and larys are obviously supposed to be character foils (lowborn + highborn, able-bodied + disabled, conventionally attractive + conventionally ugly, knight + schemer, devout + depraved, actively homophobic + effete etc.) as alicent’s two allies but instead of it being a shoulder angel shoulder devil good and evil advisor it’s a lawful evil advisor and a chaotic evil advisor. if she asked either of them what she should do about her bastard step-grandkids they’d say i could kill them for you

Ah, yes. Team Green. Featuring a repressed lesbian still reeling from the fallout of her complicated situationship. An evil grandfather who eventually will become jobless. A guard who doubles as a stepfather and a hit man. An alcoholic. A doomed prophetess. An overpowered anime villain and his geriatric nuclear warhead. And a fourth child who may or may not exist.

I am sick to fucking death of these people.

I am sick of their hivemind, childish chants, I am sick of their desperate need for attention and to feel radikewl, and I am sick of them harassing Jewish people simply for existing. A Jewish person owning a fucking falafel restaurant is not committing genocide. Repeating the same trite chant doesn't suddenly change reality. These people really just decided to revive antisemitic mobs but sprinkled in buzzwords to make them seem progressive.

This is far from the only example of people doing this to Jewish businesses since 10/7, either, this is just what I immediately saw when I opened twitter.

the past isn’t behind you it coils inside your body that’s why some years you feel closer and more nostalgic for certain ages than others just fyi

Anyway, because I'm already seeing conspiracy theories going around, Spotify Wrapped dropped today because it's Wednesday. Last year it dropped Nov. 30th. A Wednesday. December 1st 2021? A Wednesday. That's why it was the 29th this year. They drop it on Wednesday. You're welcome.
