Today has been a great day for Todd Howard on Wikipedia! Happy Birthday Todd Coward!

[oilooknohands]

My point was the lesser of two evils, and staying out of it means the war continues, which actually helps the thalmor more. they say as much in their embassy's  notes. 

i’m going on an angry thalmor rage cause i’ve been playing lots of oblivion. then, i was reading a FUCK ton of lore on the wiki and like. i knew the thalmor claimed to end the oblivion crisis but? they’re claim makes no sense. so their crystal tower was the last thing standing during the invasion and when it finally fell, the daedra suddenly stopped, so then they just claim that tower falling=stopping oblivion crisis??? what those assholes don’t want to realize is that, as that tower fell, several countries away in cyrodiil, martin septim bids the hero of kvatch farewell and runs up to dagon and turns into an aspect of akatosh (who also sorta like his dad) and beats the ever living shit outta dagon.

like i get you hate the septims and shit but you know that there have been altmer septims before? right? pelagius for example, was half altmer.

also, what martin did has nothing to do with his humanity. he was kind and humble, something no thalmor ever was. he killed himself (or did he? illuminati confirmed), he committed suicide so that the thalmor that refuse to acknowledge his sacrifice might live to see the fourth era. 

tiber septim is most certainly talos, if not, he would have been seen in sovngarde. also, it’s possible that he was breton, making him part mer and part man. 

mostly, i’m just angry and i make myself upset thinking about what martin would say if he saw the state tamriel now lies in. martin said he couldn’t stay to rebuild tamriel but… that rebuilding never came, only more destruction at the hands of its own people because, after the daedra were gone, they turnede towards each other. 

what frustrates me more than anything, is how the stormcloaks and the imperials can’t put the goddamned weapons down for one second and see that with the dragonborn on their side, they could go to war with them and WIN. but the thalmor just keep pulling their puppet strings.

*controversal opinion incoming*

Thats why I joined the stormcloaks, as Ulfric sacrificed himself and his men for the empire's promise and they then went over to the elves in return and threw him in Prison, none of the honor that the septim emperor's brought was still there.

Reading Harry Potter for the first time (Yeah I know, whatever) and so far the most abnormal thing in these books about magic and wizards is that Ron carries his rat around in his pocket.

Book reader marches around Stannis as he's wounded on the field

BR: Say her name. Shireen Baratheon. Say her name. You burnt her. You killed your child. SHIREEN BARATHEON 

Points to showrunners.

Seriously? All the character arcs and world-building in this series, and the first thing you talk about is the colour for a character? If that was all it took to please fans, Paolini wouldn’t have worked so hard. 

things eragon did right: • a black woman in a position of power (arguably one of the highest positions in the series itself) • men openly showing emotions (crying, having breakdowns, etc) • women calling men out on their sexism and shutting them the fuck down • women being shown as being stronger than men (emotionally and physically) several times throughout the book and series • are you kidding me I could go on for hours about this series • it influenced the way I viewed the world and for that I will forever be in love with it holy shit • also dragons

Oh cool a reblog. Well this will be my last response.

My point about the show was that its far from reliable for representing the books' themes, so I'd suggest they have zero credibility in this way. They don't even understand some of the more basic things about the books, let alone underlying themes. Targaryens are not immune to fire, for one. Roberts rebellion was not "built on a lie" because the deaths of Rickard and Brandon were what really started it. It almost looks like they've reduced the cast to being good guys vs bad guys in later seasons, despite asoiaf being a series about human evil, human struggle and grey morality. Dany killing Randyll is poetic in some ways, but the producers are so incompetent they probably didnt even mean for it to be.

People have been saying that Randyll Tarly’s death was unjust because even though he was an abusive twatwad, Dany killed him for undermining her authority.

Guess what widely celebrated event in asoiaf this reminds me of?

 "The smile that Lord Janos Slynt smiled then had all the sweetness of rancid butter. Until Jon said, “Edd, fetch me a block,” and unsheathed Longclaw.“

We celebrate this because earlier in the series Sansa had wished this very thing:

“Sansa stared hard at his ugly face, remembering how he had thrown down her father for Ser Ilyn to behead, wishing she could hurt him, wishing that some hero would throw him down and cut off his head. But a voice inside her whispered, There are no heros…”

One of the themes of asoiaf is that although the world is often horrible, that does not mean we should abandon hope and love and goodness, and that there are true heroes out there still.

Sansa’s wish for justice for people who hurt others echoes what Gilly says in season 6 about Randyll Tarly, how abusive people should not be allowed to get away with it.

Season 7, here comes Dany on a dragon. Dany does not kill Tarly for his abuse of Sam, true, but Jon also did not kill Slynt for the reasons Sansa wants him dead, but because Slynt undermined him and tried to raise arms against him.

Is it cutting off someone’s head that is supposed to be more heroic here, (because as far as humane ways to perform an execution go, beheading is not one) or is it that Dany is a woman enacting karmic vengeance that another woman wished for and that does not fit our heteronormative conception of heroes and villians? Or maybe it’s that Gilly isn’t a princess (she’s a poor single mother and incest victim) or that Sam’s abuse happened as punishment for him not being “manly” enough so we don’t get as outraged about it because it fits patriarchal conceptions of what men and women should be? We should know by now that GRRM loves to play with our conceptions of chivalry, which also goes with subverting gender norms. A woman being the hero who enacts justice against Tarly (a woman no one suspected because “no one ever looked for a girl”) is thematically perfect.

[oilooknohands]

A difference that should be considered is that Randyll Tarly had not sworn allegiance to Dany, whereas Janos had presumably said his Night’s Watch vows when he refused to obey his lord commander. Janos undermining Jon’s leadership was treason, and Jon beheaded him as befits a traitor (in northern style, not necessarily heroic). Daenarys and Randyll, however, were simply on opposite sides of a war. I’m not attacking or defending Randyll or Dany, but these scenarios are not a good comparison. A closer comparison would be Euron Greyjoy drowning Sawane Botley for not supporting his claim to the Seastone chair, because like it or not, Dany is an exile. To call her otherwise would be to deny the justification behind Robert’s rebellion, which could not have been more justified. 

It’s also not good to judge a scenario’s morality based on how we, as the audience, perceive it. For example, from Joffrey’s perspective, he is Robert’s son and Eddard is denying his claim to his perceived birthright. Even if Joffrey kept his promise and let Ned join the Wall, we would still dislike it because we, the audience, LIKE Ned, despite the fact that Joffrey is acting as expected from someone not having the knowledge of his parentage.

And honestly, who the fuck cares about HBO’s fanfiction anyway? Sandor Clegane’s gravedigger was meant to symbolically say that people can find peace despite their demons, which is great for an anti-war series, and HBO’s series brought the hound back to make him slaughter a bunch of people because he was “badass” or whatever.

Vicente Valtieri headcanons.

His calm demeanour was only shown towards his fellow members of the Dark Brotherhood. Though naturally cunning and smart, towards his enemies he was fiercely brutal and sadistic. 

During his early ventures as a creature of the night, he once turned the warden for a prison in Vvardenfell into his thrall, and used the prisoners as his source of blood. When he was discovered, he hid from civilisation and hunted alone, until a vampire member of the black hand heard of his exploits, and was impressed enough to recruit him. 

He liked playing dice games with Gogron gro-Bolmog, because despite his friendly demeanour, Gogron was a sore loser, and when he lost a game, it usually ends with a smashed table. Ocheeva has asked Vicente to let Gogron win, because the tables are getting expensive. 

His natural hair-colour before being turned was blonde. If it had stayed blonde, he would’ve had to cut it to remain inconspicuous, so that was a huge relief.

His Night-Eye and Detect Life abilities as a vampire made him a proficient archer, but he preferred to fight with a clamour, so he can enjoy the smell of blood.  

To escape some pursuing guards, he once climbed to the top of the White-Gold Tower. Or rather, he started to, but once the guards lost sight and assumed he went to the top, he turned invisible and slipped away. The guards waited outside the tower for a week.

The first and only thing he bought from Mraaj-Dar was a lock for his chambers.

His favourite drink after blood was Colovian Brady. Unfortunately, vampires find it harder to get drunk.  

His personal motto for many years was “You don’t need to be mortal to satisfy every woman you meet.” 

He once confronted Telaendril about Gogron and said “You know we’re a brotherhood, right? Brothers and sisters? So please be more subtle. I drink blood, and your grossing even me out.”

He was bros with Babette. They had a great friendship, and fiercely agreed on everything except alchemy. His problem with Garlic made it unlikable, to say the least.

He once used his Vampire Seduction to subdue a Dremora during the oblivion crisis. He undid his Dremora armour and dressed him in a black cloak, and told him to go the centre of town in Cheydinhal. This erupted in a brawl and a lot of screaming, not that Vicente cared. He gave the armour to Gogron as an apology for constantly beating him at Liar’s Dice. Gogron was happy to accept, and didn’t realise Vicente low-key was making fun of him. 

Rest in peace, my mentor. Over ten years on and we all still miss you.
