IN DEFENSE OF ARIANNE MARTELL

My 1980s and Other Essays, Wayne Koestenbaum // Looking in the Mirror, George Tsui. // A Feast for Crows, Chapter 40, Princess In The Tower

for @alicentcole, my long lost twin

lyanna stark || elia martell || sansa stark || arya stark || alicent hightower || jaehaera targaryen || cersei lannister || myrcella baratheon || joanna lannister || aemma arryn || catelyn stark || sansa stark (2) || margaery tyrell || rhaena targaryen, daughter of aenys i || arianne martell || aerea targaryen

#arianne martell #house martell #asoiaf #a song of ice and fire #web weave #webweaving #webweave #webweaves: asoiaf #game of thrones #got #i know i said targaryen girls were up next and i have the pictures ready! i do! but arianne martell man she caught me #and whispered in my ears house martell supremacy how could i deny her #@alicentcole i hope you like it! #listen. i know we love to talk about arianne and birthrights. but. way more talented people have done it before me. so #you get another flavour of arianne!! the way she doesn't see the betrayal coming! and how could she because she's always looking ahead! #(and how could she because she trusted them! she had them secured only to realise they were never hers!) #so the mirror potrait is delicious irony. she couldn't see the back in real life but she can in the mirror. #the past stares at her and never lets her forget!! #and i could have chose a better quote but again; mirror. also star in the qoute-> NYMERIA'S STAR! #that's it commentary end

i just finished dark heir

#me foaming at the mouth during the last chapters: HE IS! FUCKING! SAVING YOU! #i am huddled around will kempen hissing like a mama cat none of these fuckers are allowed to look at him #dark rise #okay but like. cyrian at literally every moment in the book you see will anticipating things and making connections #that you never make. doing things like a leader & being fucking smart and strategic. and your dumb ass really thought. #hm. must mean i shouldnt listen to him about the magic staff that can literally stop the end of the world. must be evil. #me: [screams into the abyss] #i know i cant expect characters to react like readers and they DID all react like i knew they would but god it was so infuriating!!!!! #and heart breaking! god!!!! god!!!!! will reliving his mother's initial betrayal over and over and OVER again #and thinking about all the little moments we get where the novel tells us: if these 'evil' characters had just been accepted #instead of tossed aside maybe they wouldnt have fallen. if they had been protected instead of killed maybe they would have #become protectors instead of killers. maybe if will's mom hadn't tried to butcher him for the sin of his own birth #he wouldn't have been so scared to tell people he lied to them. #anyway im not normal about will kempen and if book 3 doesnt give me his friends fucking accepting him i'll kill someone #me looking directly at visander: i dont care how charming you are i'll murder your ass about it #i read this book in like 5 hrs im being very normal about it

Does Joanne ever shut the fuck up ?

pretty please, my fellow progressives

Could we please all keep in mind that the concept of "The Jews In General, or A Specific Type Of Jew, Controls Education, Government, Media, and/or Banking", is a longstanding antisemitic trope?

And most of all, that it is false??

No, a marginalized group does not also control education, the government, the media, and/or banking?

No, Jews do not secretly control these things and just pretend to be marginalized? No, Jews have not secretly been accumulating power since the Holocaust, granted by too-generous gentiles, out of pity?

No, it isn't better if you just mean a specific subgroup or kind of Jews. It's still specifically Jews.

It's like when people who hate trans/queer people are fine with rich white cis gay men. So they think it's not bigoted to blame "people with blue hair and pronouns" for the downfall of society.

We all know this means, "I only see some of you as human like me. You have to speak and act a certain way to count. Everyone in your group has to pass a test to get into the Good group."

Doesn't work.

Sure, it gives them plausible deniability to the people who matter to them. But everyone else can see exactly how they feel.

We've all known for years that it's bad to think of a marginalized group as having some "good ones." Rein it the heck in, please.

Because YES, all of those examples are ones I've seen implied, or stated outright, over and over, within the progressive community. This month alone.

#antisemitism #anti-semitic #yes this is about how gentiles use zionism #yes this is about how fast it went from 'this isn't NECESSARILY antisemitic' to 'this ISN'T antisemitic' #yes this is about claiming that we claim antisemitism to deflect valid criticism #yes this is part of a larger pattern of violating every progressive standard but only for jews #none of us would ever say 'people are just claiming misogyny to deflect valid criticism' #we would never claim that trans people secretly control or “influence” the government #we would never treat Ukrainians like “'noble savages” who need us to speak for them #but we treat Palestinians like “noble savages” who need us to speak for them #we know to center the people affected and uplift their voices in every other situation #but in this situation we ignore the fact that we're supporting palestinians by talking ABOUT them #we swallow far-right Palestinian propaganda channeled through diaspora organizations #while Palestinians in Gaza demand completely different solutions and support #zionists echo Palestinian solutions and experiences because we know people in Israel and Palestine #and we get told we love genocide or just blocked #this is how Hamas propaganda is designed to work. Hamas has systematically silenced Palestinians for 18 years and now it's all you know #it is genuinely terrifying to see the entire progressive community sound exactly like the alt-right while it absolutely insists it's not #we also know to center marginalized people's voices about what harms them -- except the Jews? #honestly I think that progressives listened before Oct 7 and that the “no we just mean ZIONISTS are evil” has done wonders to reverse that #let's be real the zionists-not-jews trope comes from Hamas too #all it had to do was claim it definitely meant Zionists not Jews and that it was the Palestinian resistance and progressives flocked to it #its fighters were calling home from the massacre to boast about how many Jews they had killed. it has not changed. #i suppose that the zionists-not-jews thing gave freedom to unexamined antisemitism that people felt guilty about #but oh my god it caught on like absolute wildfire #wall of words

idk i wish people would talk more about papua when it comes to occupied nations.

free papua.

#we exist too. our villages are getting bombed. we get thrown in prisons for no reason. we're not allowed to fly our flag. #and the whole world ignores it because the grasberg mine is there and they care more about gold than they do about human lives. #and like. we've been begging people to acknowledge our genocide but nobody fucking listens #the death toll is estimated to be around 100k to 300k and still we get ignored #nobody fucking cares about us. i wonder if they'd care if our skin was lighter. #it makes me so fucking sick to think that we're dying and we still never get mentioned in discussions of occupied nations #and the un is so fucking useless when it comes to the conflict. they make half-assed attempts for brownie points if at all. #then they go back to letting the indonesian military bomb our homes. #i wish i could go home but i don't think i ever will be able to when it's been 50+ years of genocide and people still ignore us. #genocide cw

i think what most people fail to understand is that theres no fucking way that israel intelligence community wouldnt know about the attack that happened. they have spies literally everywhere and theyre frighteningly good at their job, just look at some cases of them stealing data from other countries and you will see. so the most likely scenario in my head is that israeli government decided to let the attack happen, let the people die, bc of the greater good of forcing more oppression onto palestinians and deeming any of the activists as terrorists. now they can say "look its not our fault!!! we're doing this for the security of the country, not just israelis, and our laws and legislations are only to control the terrorism" which is a big fat lie.

people need to understand that when oppression gets too suffocating radical groups are born. this is why there are alt right muslim extremists in europe, bc theyre being actively oppressed. but what they do benefits the government (as in, they can now point at the extremists and claim all muslims/middle easterns are like this). so in the end, theres a high chance that the recent hamas attack will benefit the genocide of the palestinian—a truly ironic tragedy, the acts of which we (the middle easterns) already know from memory.

my heart goes out to all of my palestinian siblings. i hope the nightmarish genocidal machine of israel finally dies, and that you can experience peace in the end 🇵🇸

#Palestine #also i need the western leftists to check their sources before quoting any palestine advocate bc some of them are the iranian government #which i do not need to get into to explain why thats not correct and u shouldn't listen to them. hopefully #god im just. head in hands #when will the horrors end #people can never understand the experience of living in middle east #its truly hellish #and everything is out of our control #and bc we are brown our lives just. don't fucking matter #they way everyone treats us like trash like we deserve whats happening #like we deserve the war the west is forcing on us #im so so so tired. the pain never goes away #it just piles up.

stranger things fandom never heard the phrase "every saint has a past and every sinner has a future" and it shows

#the way yall can NOT grasp the complexity of the human experience never ceases to baffle me #if you go around with the attitude of 'if you do anything wrong ever you will always be a Bad person even if you try to make ammends' it #will genuinely ruin your life #AND what kills me is yall tout yourselves as these open minded liberals who are anti cop anti justice system #we need to be more accepting !!! #until the SECOND a person you personally dont like starts acting up #and then the republican comes out REAL quick #the evangelical conservative bible thumper JUMPS out #you know how to be an open minded accepting person? #listen to the people you dont like #hear their stories #offer help #a good person does not only extent a hand to people they like #which... you all watch stranger things i understand why you dont get that message #cuz this is the show of 'the only good guys are the ones who think and act just like us' #so #i see what we're dealing with

I need a completely rewritten teen wolf series with Derek Hale as the main character. I think it would heal me.

#we follow Derek from New York. Laura left for beacon hills. it’s been six years since he was back but he hasn’t heard from her #and hes going stir crazy waiting. he packs up and travels back. it’s almost too much immediately. he still can’t get a hold of Laura #he can’t resist going home. it’s like a natural pull that guides him back. all at once he’s 16 again. staring at the wreckage of his life #deputy stilinski is sherrif now. it’s reassuring in the slightest that the police force seems to have moved on from how corrupt it was #he catches her scent and it’s putrid. bile catches in his throat. he seeks it out. still in denial to what he knows it means. #when he finds Laura it’s like the world ends all over again. he can’t stand to see her like this. he gives her a proper burial. #the best he can do at least #he visits Peter. he’s not the man Derek remembers- so full of fire and cunning. their relationship may have been strained at times. #often Derek felt more like Eve being swayed by the snake than a normal friendship #but this isn’t the sharp tongued uncle who guided him. this is a broken shell. all that remained of his family. he was so lost. #22 but he barely knew how to function without his family- his pack paving the way #Laura handled everything. she got the apartment. she made sure they had food. Derek looks back and feels so useless #he was so lost in his grief. Laura must of felt the same way but she never let them drown in it #she made sure he got his GED. even got him to enroll in community college classes. #he took them online. he never was able to warm up to people the same way. he used to be so full of life. now he just wanted to be left alone #he studied English. never finished his degree. doesn’t look like he ever will now. he can’t go back to Laura and his shared home. #can’t bare to see another shell of a home #he vents to the vacant audience of Peter and his cold fixed eyes #Derek leaves. he wants to promise he’ll return soon #but promises feel costly these days #he decides to go back to the reserve. maybe he can find some clue as to what happened to Laura #someone lured her here. someone who knew them and their history here #his mind went to the worst. Kate. why would she go through the trouble six years later. why wait so long. #Derek couldn’t stomach the thought of facing her. he focused on the woods. the scents were all over the place. #clearly multiple people had been through here recently. two scents were much stronger. Derek follows them #but when he hears the crunch of leaves he realizes why the scents are so strong. they’re still here #he ducks behind some trees. listening in on their conversation. but an echo of their scent catches his attention #he spots an inhaler on the ground. he puts two and two together and swipes it from the leaves. #he comes out once they’re closer. tossing over the inhaler- he figures they’ll leave. dumb kids messing around in the woods #he reminds them this is private property. though that may not be true anymore. he recognizes the scent of a new beta. interesting.

thinking about the time they actually gave joey dialogue in the new teen titans: games…

“He could be role-playing with us. Art represents civilization. Maybe he’s showing us his end game?”

this says sooo much about him: his deductive reasoning skills, his appreciation for art, his understanding of other people’s psychology. i need more stories where joey gets to play detective, especially in an art or music history context, and i NEED him to have proper dialogue

#imagining an art heist job with his mom in the searchers inc. comic that exists in my head #let him be thoughtful & have a personality beyond just the sweet helpful guy who’s a good listener #we see some of this skill as a tactician in ntt #(that issue where titans tower gets attacked by the hybrid comes to mind #plus the super inventive ways he uses his powers in general) #but there’s a level of characterization you get from dialogue that he’s almost never given in ntt #there are some narration boxes that kind of give insight into his thoughts #and then there’s that issue in late late ntt that has excerpts from a book he’s writing about the titans #but in general other characters vaguely paraphrase things he signs or we just see their response & what he even said is only implied #really it wouldn’t be hard to give him dialogue like at all they did it here with text boxes that have quotation marks #you could also use angle brackets like they do in american comics when a character’s speaking in a language other than english #just have a little ‘*translated from american sign language’ as an editor’s note & people will know what’s going on #joey wilson #the new teen titans: games #undescribed

Nobody understands Daniel Ricciardo Like Red Bull do

#the way it took only one race for daniel to show he was never the problem at mclaren #nobody understands daniel like redbull do #its such a simple statement but soooo - #when you think about christian horner saying this is not the daniel we knew. the drives he had with us #like he couldnt understand who that Daniel was. couldn't understand how he could end up where he was with mclaren #i just cant imagine how draining those two years at mclaren was for him having to change the basic core of himself as a driver and #having to go against his won instincts and the first race back? AT giving him that trust and confidence in himself by listening to him #and for the people constantly saying why redbull is giving a second chance to a driver who's apparently finished - #he doesnt have to prove himself to them. they know what he can do. they know how to get that performance out of him #daniel ricciardo

hey quick message to adults, if you're condescending when trying to teach teenagers about shit, then they aren't gonna listen to you no matter how important the shit you're saying is.

#moral of the story is that while you may have valid concerns and want to teach teenagers about those things #then dont be an asshole about it #because that. will. not. make. make. them. learn. or. listen. to what. you're. saying. #also i get the concern about safety on the internet and not really knowing who you're talking to #and learning and knowing how to stay safe on the internet is really important #but like if all you do is say that “you never know it could be a 40 year old man you're talking to” or some shit and dont actually teach us #then you arent doing jackshit to help #and it also kinda says that you dont trust teenagers judgement #which could maybe be a kinda fair concern because idk we may trust people too easily #but when you way it up #it just says you dont trust our judgement more #and like you dont think we can know its a fucking forty year old man #like almost all my mutuals are also mentally ill teenagers like myself #if a forty year old man could impersonate them that well then honestly they have my fucking respect #sam screams into the void

one reason I really wish we got to see the royjamiekeeley ot3 was so we could see Keeley fall in love with this new version of Jamie. She’s a large part of the reason he learns to trust others and be more kind and open. you can see it in all the ways she smiles at him in s3 that her heart was so full to see him finally be the best version of himself, jumping at the chance to help him when Roy asks. there’s such a pure connection between them that I wish we got to see come to fruition

#I’ll be honest I’m not the biggest ot3 person but like the potential is undeniable #and I see a lot of people giving Roy a lot of credit for who Jamie is now #which is fair cuz he does learn a lot from Roy #but Keeley is the one who was there from day one the one who listens to him behind his smugness and get out of his own way #we never really got to see them be a couple cuz they broke up so early in the show #so there’s is so so much there to explore #jamie x keeley #royjamiekeeley #roy x jamie x keeley #ot3: triangles #keeley jones #jamie tartt
