#(same for Dani tbh)

[fromtheseventhhell]

What's crazy is that Barristan has the character development that people pretend Jaime has but because he supports Dany and doesn't spend all of his page time talking/thinking about how evil Targaryens are, it gets ignored

#daenerys targaryen #barristan selmy #how do you get outsold by a side character who doesn't even have a POV in the first few books? 🤨 #embarrassing tbh but then that's Jaime in a nutshell so it fits #if he was written the /exact/ same way but supported Stannis?? people would be writing essays on how brilliant his character is #instead he doesn't tell Dany how horrible Rhaegar is every 2 seconds so people have decided that he's just a delusional old man #one of the characters with the most experience regarding rulers and he gets ignored cause people disagree with him sdjsfksdkds #barristan: goes to Dany in disguise so that he can judge her character cause he wants to redeem himself and serve a worthy ruler #+ is the one to tell her about her father's madness fandom: he refuses to acknowledge any of his mistakes or have honest convos with Dany 😔 #I just have to laugh cause literally the only reason is that he validates Dany's ruling arc and people can't stand it 😭

Revanshe: There is some question as to what "A Song of Ice and Fire" refers to. Some people think it dwells on elements, such as the wall and Others and dragons, while others think it refers more to a character or characters, the favored one being Jon. Any comments?

GRRM: No comments on that one . . . except that I am known for titles that have several meanings

#grrm has said that ONE interpretation of the title is: #what’s going on north of the wall as ice #and dany and her dragons being the fire #and tbh he can’t really say ‘yeah jon is def the ice and fire’ because rlj is still unconfirmed as of now…😅 #so he chooses to ‘no comment’ as he often does with things that he will get to in later books #BUT!! it’s important to note that he does say the title has MULTIPLE meanings #therefore several things can be true at the same time #asoiaf #jon snow

aegon is brokenstar coded (child fighting enjoyer) and joffrey is breezepelt coded do you think if they were warriorcats aegon would be joffrey's evil dark forest mentor

#.txt #would joffrey train in the dark forest tho I'm not sure. doesnt really seem like the type tbh #you know who would train in the dark forest. euron 100%. sorry I mean croweye #btw semi related but in warriocat au sandor is joffrey's kind of evil mentor who makes him beat the shit out of other apprentices #and the other warriors are like knock it off dude what the hell. and he goes on a rant about how they're raising a generation of kittypets #I mean this happened in canon basically lol #joffrey would be sooooo annoying as an apprentice btw hed be like im stormstar's son you have to do what I say :3 #and sandor (houndclaw) would be like that's not how it works dipshit I hate my job #stormstar is robert's leader name ofc. not sure what his warrior name would be but I like storm as a prefix #also bc dany is stormflight and I think it's kinda funny for them to have the same prefix. robert's like no doubles kill that baby right no #renly is stagleap stannis is something lame like blackfur idk #I know stagleap is a canon name stfu it's cool and it fits renly

just watched a bunch of Cut's Truth or Drink videos and it's making me want to read a ted lasso fic where they do it as a team building exercise (being open and honest and vulnerable all that)

#like a very heart-achey fic though #like in the videos questions can range from sex to very deep shit like have you thought about death etc #i want questions that make them have to be raw #like someone asking Jamie why he reconnected with his dad and went to visit him if he's a piece of shit #or asking Nate why he did what he did or what he experienced at WH with Rupert as a boss #why is Roy just always so fucking angry and why is Ted always acting so fucking positive #(same for Dani tbh) #ted lasso #ted lasso prompt #ted lasso fic #ted lasso ao3 #roy kent #jamie tartt #colin hughes #nathan shelley #dani rojas

The triumphant return of Mr. Deus Ex Machina himself

#Danny Phantom #DP comic spoilers #as a partial Phantom Planet apologist this part did make me roll my eyes a little lol #kind of a cowardly move tbh #but at the same time I understand how much this opens up fun possibilities for a continuation #and it's just so on brand for Clockwork in the first place like pffft okay yeah we might as well #(and it's not a TOTAL reset because Danny and the gang all still remember and we have an extra(?) Val out there who remembers too) #(so it is a fun plot point in and of itself no doubt about that) #(I'm just going to quietly mourn the possibility of a canon exploration of how the Fentons reacted to the revelation. or what Danny's #day-to-day life was like as savior of the world. or how the Mansons reacted to Sam dating a hero/ghost. or where Dani's been. etc etc)

ted lasso writers: i love all the main characters of our show!! ted, beard, roy, colin, trent *looks at smudged writing on hand* roberta, kylie, isaiah *squints* sum, donny, and nut.

#ted lasso #ted lasso critical #i'm sorry they may like keeley but they did NOT know what to do with her this season at all and it showed #same with rebecca tbh #and don't get me started on sam and dani. i'd complain about their arcs but What Were They

[danidoesathing]

found these in the Night We Met lyric video. hm

#DAMN WONDER WHAT THAT MEANS #the French translates to exactly what you think it does #probably not the first one to find these tbh but im still excited. IM new to this leave me be #I love the hints of future albums/storylines in these videos #its really neat and encourages the audience to do some fun detective work #mentions of Z'Oiseau jasper and hontanx years before the movie #no clue when the movie was filmed but damn this is pretty early for all that #also pretty sure the actor for Buck here (Daniel Wilkenson) is the same on in whispering pine's version of Dead Man's Hand #so when the hell was THAT filmed #tbf I THINK it might have been the same clip shown in the strange trails teaser. just the full version they filmed #but since Johnnie's face is all blurred and Johnnie's face is literally the only part we see in the teaser. so yeah #now. what does that mean that its shown on an in universe television show that has the same actor/car/general look as that clip? #I. I dont know. but its cool! #lord huron #dani speaks #also. confirmation that vide noir takes place in 1967. sweet #thats the year I already mentally picked out for it for writing. so thats cool also

The subreddit for tsc/tscs is actually wildin lmao, they've spent the past two days being like "GOSH GOLLY CAN'T WAIT FOR SEASON 3" which hasn't even been confirmed yet (and hopefully WON'T BE) and the posts read in such a way that I'm convinced they're like bots or smth

#they give me the same vibes as the potc subs #which is the speculation of continuation of the media lol #BOTH of these franchises need to DIE tbh and be LEFT ALONE bc HOT DAMN. THE SEQUELS HAVE BEEN BAD #dani speaks

Okay, I'm gonna post this, probably it's stupid (perhaps it definitely is) and maybe I might delete it later because it's 2 am and my english is bad so probably this won't be coherent, but I have come across these posts on the obikin tag and it has become frustrating.

The fact that people don't know how to differentiate fiction from reality is outstanding to the point that's it's not even funny anymore, and the amount of them accusing people who like or interact with the ship of being pedophiles and groomers is even more upsetting.

No one is normalizing grooming, no one is glorifying pedophilia, and no one is fetichizing mlm relationships. Most of the obikin shippers are against these stuff and would report that shit to the authorities if they see it happen on real life, because that's the thing, it's fucking fiction not the real life, these aren't real people, these are fictional characters living in a fictional world.

Also, most of the content of obikin is about when both Obi-Wan and Anakin are ADULTS and that one of them develops their attraction towards the other at the beginning or in the middle of the clone wars (when Anakin is no longer Obi-Wan's apprentice and is a Jedi Knight and a fucking general, tho there are exceptions, however it's treated like something complicated and complex. No to mention that sometimes is where the creator themself can project onto the characters and maybe vent on them, have that in mind).

In no way is fetichizing mlm relationships because most of the people who ship it are lgbtq+ people themselves.

They are also using the whole argument of: "oh but they are convincing and exposing children of this type of content and therefore confusing them and manipulating them 😭😭" I'm sorry, but most of the obikin blogs and content are 18+ y'know? Stuff that is made by ADULTS FOR OTHER ADULTS, it's not their fault that minors are sneaking into their blogs and creations even when they have explicitly implied that it is not for kids. They have also leave the corresponding trigger warnings, content warnings and additional tags when they post a drawing, edit, gif or fic to precisely prevent from children stumbling across that content.

Listen, if you don't like obikin because it's not you thing or it squicks you or because it triggers something that's totally valid and okay, and you are in your right to elaborate on why it doesn't suit to you and why you want to avoid it (there are content that I personally dislike and gives me the ick, I myself feel uncomfortable when people ship Obi-Wan and Anakin when they are still in their master/padawan dynamic, so I just avoid it most of the time) but for the love of God don't go harassing people and accusing them of shit that it's not true, you don't know that person and what are they up to, so there's no way of you knowing if they are actually the monsters you think they are.

People tend to forget that fiction is there to explore stuff that is unethical and questionable in real life without hurting anyone, that sometimes people enjoy that content not because they think it's okay but because to them it's interesting, intriguing, because they are just curious, and sometimes they even consume it because it's comforting to them (something they can vent to when it's associated to something traumatic or unpleasant they went through).

#this is just annoying tbh #its like those people who were demonizing hannigram shippers because its problematic #NO SHIT ITS PROBLEMATIC #people just like it becuase its interesting #the same here #everyone agrees that having a teacher/student relationship is fucked up and is problematic af #and that obikin is a miscommunication and even toxic mess at times #but we like it bc its interesting #and you gotta be honest they have a very weird thing going on that sometimes the 'they are brothers' thing feels off 💀 #im looking at you mathew stover and deborah chow #not art #dani rambling stuff #obikin

being crazy about ted lasso and bg3 at the same time is making me kinda crazy i think. doing dnd shit to those soccer guys in my brain

#beebles #ted lasso #bg3 #ramblings of a madman inbound #here's the thing #ted and beard are a cleric and paladin of the same faith (sports) #roy is the most barbarian-coded character i have seen in ages #and i think since all the lads are soccer guys they're inherently monk-coded by nature of being in a sport where you have to be so so fast #but i think they're all chronic multiclassers tho #jamie's got a couple levels in fighter #dani's got a pool of bardic inspiration #moe is absoLUTELY a rogue #isaac might also have a little barbarian in him? but tbh i think he could also have some fighter in him w champion subclass or sentinel feat #definitely protection fighting style #i could see beard picking up a couple levels in wizard that man loves booklearnin #i'm not sure about sam tbh there's a lot i can sort of see him doing #leaning toward paladin at the mo because i think he would rock the armor and also an oath of justice #colin is an interesting creature to me i think maybe rogue with actor feat? #some arguments could be made for bard but i think sticking to the shadows+being a chameleon lends itself to rogue #don't think there's a lot of casters in here #Do think mo might take arcane trickster subclass but idk thief maybe #gotta steal those documents #richard does strike me as some sort of warlock or perhaps sorcerer with a noble background #not sure about thierry either but Maybe sentinel feat again vis a vis being stuck at da goal #you see the logic. opportunity attacks against the ball when it comes within five feet of him #jan maas sort of illudes me tho #maybe bard again ?? viscous mockery but it's just him telling horrible truths? #maybe ranger??? idk

tinfoil hat time: the faceless men are slowly poisoning the sealord bc or their agenda against the “dragonlords”. 

"It wasn't stealing. I took one of his, but I left him one of ours." The kindly man understood. "And with that coin and the others in his purse, he paid a certain man. Soon after that man's heart gave out. Is that the way of it? Very sad." The priest picked up the coin and tossed it into the pool. (Arya, ADWD) 

first of all; the faceless men are known for making their assassinations look like accidents (ie: animal attacks, a fall, ect) or from natural causes. its part of the reason their services are expensive. arya herself utilized one of their poisons in adwd to make it look like the insurance man died of cardiac arrest. arya spends a lot of time learning about poison in general and the FM are one of the few groups that know how to create the strangler, ect. this is very much their m.o.

"The Sealord is still sick." "This is no new thing. The Sealord was sick yesterday, and he will still be sick upon the morrow." (Arya, ADWD) 

the kindly man seems a little too confident that the sealord will still be sick in the future. why rule out the chance he could recover? the FM teach arya to not speculate without reason so it feels like he could have some insight into the sealord’s sickness to make this claim. 

Once chosen, Sealords serve for life. Inevitably, there are always those who wish to cut that life short to effect some change in policy. (TWOIAF) 

and we know that sometimes sealords are killed to influence policy within braavos. but what are the faceless men looking to control?

conspiracy theories aside all the info we currently have indicates dany was living in braavos during her earliest years. she might or might not have stayed with the sealord, but there is a document that says he was aware of existence. 

"It is a secret pact," Dany said, "made in Braavos when I was just a little girl. Ser Willem Darry signed for us, the man who spirited my brother and myself away from Dragonstone before the Usurper's men could take us. Prince Oberyn Martell signed for Dorne, with the Sealord of Braavos as witness." (Dany, ADWD)

unless this pact is a lie (possible? but currently theres nothing to suggest that it is) then the sealord was involved with a potential alliance between the martells and targaryens. this means that the sealord is probably somewhat sympathetic, at least, to the targs. were dany and viserys turned out bc of braavos’ past with the dragonlords of valryia? we know its a very sore subject among some braavosi.

But these men and their ships are well-known to us. No, these other sails … from farther east, perhaps … one hears queer talk of dragons." "Would that we had one here. A dragon might warm things up a bit." "My lord jests. You will forgive me if I do not laugh. We Braavosi are descended from those who fled Valyria and the wroth of its dragonlords. We do not jape of dragons." (Jon, ADWD)

jon gets shit for merely joking about dragons in theory to the iron bank’s representative tycho nestoris. the iron bank’s interests seem to frequently align with the faceless men and vice versa.

“We have flowered in Braavos amongst these northern fogs, but we first took root in Valyria, amongst the wretched slaves who toiled in the deep mines beneath the Fourteen Flames that lit the Freehold's nights of old.”

Arya drew back from him. "He killed the slave?" That did not sound right. "He should have killed the masters!" "He would bring the gift to them as well . . . but that is a tale for another day, one best shared with no one." (Arya, AFFC)

braavos was founded by escaped slaves and the faceless men originated in the mines of valyria. the kindly man even implies they were responsible for the doom that destroyed valyria; an entire civilization. they’re willing to go to extreme lengths. which is probably why they also have an operative (the assassin formerly known as jaqen h’ghar) in the citadel. 

"Learn three new things before you come back to us," the kindly man had commanded Cat, when he sent her forth into the city. She always did. Sometimes it was no more than three new words of the Braavosi tongue. Sometimes she brought back sailor's tales, of strange and wondrous happenings from the wide wet world beyond the isles of Braavos, wars and rains of toads and dragons hatching. (Arya, AFFC)

the faceless men know the rumors of dragon’s hatching from arya’s reports if nothing else, but i am sure they have even better intel and known these strange tales are very true. dragons have returned to the world. if the faceless men believe the sealord could potentially align braavos with this dragon queen (again) they would likely want to put an end to it far in advance.

there are also 4 references in 4 books to the sealord’s sense of humor. it seems like he is an easy going guy. maybe not the sort to stand firm against the powers that will soon be making their way west. 

so the faceless men poison the sealord to put someone sterner and more suited to their agenda in charge of braavos. 

This would make trouble for the Sealord and the envoy with the chicken on his chest, she did not doubt. (Arya, TWOW)

bonus point: in mercy arya notes that her assassination of raff the sweetling (+ framing him for mercy’s murder) will cause problems for the sealord - not just the westerosi envoy. assuming arya was acting on orders (i think she was) then we known the faceless men are deliberately acting against the sealord. and thats something arya will only become more involved with in twow. 

#asoiaf nonsense #is it so far from madness to wisdom???? #tbh i dont actually think this is THAT insane of a theory #the FM poisoning the sealord tracks #its their motive that isnt clear #but this feels like a more practical way to explore the FM's anti targ antics #then smth like arya being sent to kill dany #idk im trying to connect all the sealord dots #bc he's clearly going to be important somehow #and this is what ive got lol #sn: i realized i was conflating the sealord serving for life with the first sword #oops #which means!!!! ferrego is likely the same sealord syrio served #and all 4 laughing refs are about ferrego after all #oh arya is def meeting him
