Show Jaime:

“I know I just slept with Brienne who I have a deep attachment to, and I’m about six seasons deep into a redemption arch but Ima peace out and get crushed by rocks with my sister wife”

Book Jaime literally in the middle of reading a letter from Cersei begging him to come and save her:

“I wonder what brienne is doing right now”

My villain origin story is D&D completely changing Brienne and Arya attitude towards girlhood.

There is NO WAY Arya would say "most girls are stupid" in the books. Even the Sansa/Arya "hate" is INSANE because book Arya thinks often about her sister and she misses her. The ones putting Arya against Sansa were the people that were comparing them (Sansa looks like her mother and she's more skilled in dancing, singing and knitting, while Arya looks more like her father, so less "feminine" and less cut out for those activities). Also for the record, she never thinks Sansa is dumb or stupid because she's more feminine, but instead feels bad that she can't be like her. She doesn't hate girlish activities or think they are stupid, she just doesn't feel able to do them. Also in the last seasons we see Arya becoming a "killing-robot", while in the books she has a DEVELOPING emotional sphere since SHE'S 9! NINE! at the beginning of the books.

This whole argument can go for Brienne too. We got show Brienne calling Jaime a woman as an insult, while book Brienne would NEVER say that. Like Arya, Brienne suffered from the pressure of not being able to meet those unrealistic standards that rule the lifes of all the women in the asoiaf world, mostly because of her physical appearance. She learned how to fight because she felt like becoming a knight was her only choice.

Why did D&D felt like Arya and Brienne needed to dislike their gender in order for them to be good at swordsmanship? I would REALLY like to know.

The Other said something in a language that Will did not know; his voice was like the cracking of ice on a winter lake, and the words were mocking.

I’m doing a reread of World of Ice and Fire, and I just realized that in the dedication, you can see where the maester who purportedly wrote the book erased Robert and then Joffrey’s names because the kings kept dying on him while he was writing.

But he kept the rest of the dedication the same because the titles never changed between the kings.

I think one of the worst things the HotD fandom did is their reaction to Alicent post-birth. There were so many posts flying around stating Alicent is a bad mom because she looked uninterested in her babies and used the nannies.

It never occurred to anyone that the girl who lost her mom at a young age would struggle with motherhood? It never occurred to anyone that the girl in a loveless marriage who was forcefully impregnated may not be happy after giving birth? People really looked at those sad, disassociated eyes as she cradled a baby the size of her upper body and thought, "Yeah she's the monster here".

To compare with Rhaenyra:

Alicent was a child giving birth to children, while Rhaenyra was at least a little bit older (Still not good for either of them).

Alicent was forced into pregnancy with a man she doesn't love, while Rhaenyra was able to choose and consent to her partner.

Alicent had no support system: her mom died when she was young, Viserys became uninterested after Aegon's birth wore off, and her own father was only interested in the kids' claim to the throne (Otto also left court- which made Alicent even more alone). Rhaenyra had Laenor, Harwin Strong, and seems Viserys is a bit more supportive towards her (Not by much though. It's like comparing a finger nail and a hair's width).

For the record, I don't think Rhaenyra's situation is that much better and both still have it bad. Rhaenyra was still expected to have kids and had them way to young.

I am trying to point out the fandom unjustly went after a teen mom/wife who probably suffered from postpartum depression.

#mom come pick me up i hate it here #it's almost as if the series is trying to show the PATRIARCHAL SYSTEM is bad #and show the complexities of the women who operate in it (SPOILERS: none of women really win)#this fandom is so backwards with the way it attacks women #alicent hightower #otto hightower #viserys targaryen #anti viserys i targaryen #house hightower #house targaryen #house of the dragon #HotD #grr martin #text post #mine

“The Blacks are on the same level as the Greens.”

“There are no sides to choose, they are all equally bad.”

“I’m the people’s team, but says mostly pro-green things.”

“I'm team Greens because they care about the people !”

Besides I note that out of 4 crimes out of 2 really counts in my eyes.

Blood and Cheese was a response to the murder of Lucerys, caused by the Greens, and the taxes were the fault of (well get that !) again the Greens who had emptied all the coffers !

Which means that only crimes number 2 and 3 are real crimes for me. And I don't know about you, but they always seem less serious than those of the Greens.

Midnight Pals: Cyclical Time

[at unicorn fuck club] Robert Jordan: thus as the wheel of time turns, so pass the ages of man! Jordan: a new epoch of magic and mystery settles upon the land! Jordan: it was an age of the distant past Jordan: and an age yet to come! Tolkien: wait a second Tolkien: which was it

Jordan: the gleeman vish taral’bid came to seek the blessing of ai’shidoo Tolkien: you’re dropping names like we should be familiar with them Jordan: you should be, we’ve been over this before Tolkien: we have? Jordan: in an age of the distant past Jordan: and an age yet to come

Jordan: it’s an epic tale of good & evil just like your lord of the rings Jordan: but the selling point here is that time is cyclical Tolkien: oh that’s interesting, i thought time was linear Jordan: oh no not at all Jordan: first you have to understand that space time is curved

Jordan: so nineva al’uvyf is all “oh you menfolk with yer dillying and your dallying! Guess it’s up to us womenfolk to fix this!” Jordan: “what’s that there? mud on the floor? ooo and i suppose you menfolk expect us womenfolk to clean that up mm? Just like you menfolk!”

Jordan: just imagine every woman in this world is that one really annoying Irish chick in Star Trek the Next Generation

Jordan: of course men channel saidin for dude magic Jordan: which is stronger, like how a dude is stronger than a lady Jordan: but the lady magic of ladies? well that‘s better for working together Jordan: the real magic is friendship

Jordan: let me tell you Jordan: women, huh? Jordan: who can understand them? Jordan: bitches be chanelin’ saidar

Jordan: so perin was on an epic quest to the desert of yarbalno GRR Martin: how smooth are the skirts? Jordan: oh actually they’re kinda wrinkled Jordan: better smooth ‘em out Jordan: thanks for reminding me! Jordan: wait a second Jordan: are you making fun of me!?

Jordan: you know if that’s how you’re gonna be, I’m just gonna go over to midnight society! Tolkien: you can’t do that, robert! You’re not telling a horror story! Jordan: well, there’s a dark one, that’s pretty spooky Jordan: you know what, just SHUT UP

[at midnight society] Jordan: anyway that’s when i came over here Barker: so how smooth are the skirts

Edward Lee: bro i don’t like to brag but Lee: i been to tar valon Lee: if you know what i mean Koontz: i don’t know what you mean Angela Carter: get off it, you have not been Carter: you wouldn’t be able to find it Tabitha King: oh ho ho! Zing! Patricia Highsmith: i’ve been

Robert Jordan: Braids -- tugged. Jordan: Skirts -- smoothed. Jordan: Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In My Lane. Focused. Flourishing.

[at unicorn fuck club] Robert Jordan: thus as the wheel of time turns, so pass the ages of man! Jordan: it was an age of the distant past Jordan: and an age yet to come! Tolkien: wait a second Tolkien: Tolkien: whoa, déjà vu

I think it's very funny that in Game of Thrones Catlyn gets a coded letter from Lysa, because you might assume it's in some kind of Westerosi Pig Latin, but if you've ever spoken to teenage girls you'll know that they just use ridiculous nicknames and weird references. There's a chance what the note actually said was:

"Goldilocks Cece and Uncle Blackfish's fanboy mothered Old J, stay Frey" instead of "Queen Cersei and Jamie killed Jon Arryn, be cautious"

One thing that always gets me, is Quellon Greyjoy. You got this ✨tall✨ scary dude who could have been a big fucking threat but decides to be a reformer. He tries to fix the reputation of the Iron Islands and the Greyjoys. And he dies in the most Ironborn way, in battle at sea, probably thinking at least "I did something to be proud of and the Islands are on the way to a better relationship with Westeros". But then his kids are literally an eldritch horror, a dumb thot, a religious fanatic and one short king and they just undo all of his work in like five mins. You cannot convince me that Quellon was not looking up from the depths of the Drowned God's watery halls like

#I just love the idea of Quellon just screaming in the afterlife because of his kids #Tywin is there too just catatonic over Cersei and Jaime &#the fact that Tyrion is actually impressing him in his whole Essos hot girl summer #Quellon Greyjoy #Nine sons born to this man and all disappointments #house greyjoy #asoiaf meta #Asoiaf #valyrianscrolls #a song of ice and fire #balon greyjoy #theon greyjoy #Asha Greyjoy #euron greyjoy #aeron greyjoy #victarion greyjoy #the iron islands #GRRM #grr martin

give me bitter and vengeful Rhaenyra, full of rage and heartbreak and spitefulness.

give me power hungry Alicent, paranoid and regretful and melancholic.

give me Rhaenyra, proud and headstrong laughing in the face of death.

give me Alicent, hateful and prideful until the bitter end.

give me flawed female characters, give me women who can’t be fixed by the narrative, in fact they are doomed.
