Eddard Stark, Warden of the North
Long stern face, beard going grey (making him look older than he is), lots of greys and whites and direwolves. I am aware of the show criticisms about the shoulder pelts, I know. BUT, sometimes things are about how cool/iconic they look when it comes to fantasy fashion design especially. Besides fur coats and rich people in general wore fur over their shoulders all the time. From ermine mantles to fox-scarves, it existed, you’re just gonna have to let me have this.

laena and rhaenyra were just friends.
As an active sapphic finder, I entirely disagree. In the show, they were definitely, mostly because Laena was reduced to a plot driver rather than a character, but in the books, they were not just friends.
And I have proof.
So fond and its derivatives are often used in Fire and Blood to describe an adoration of something or a sexual undercurrent of thought. Basically, when you see someone who is especially fond of a person in the asoiaf universe, it's a cheat code for knowing that they definitely at least kissed.
A big thing with fire and blood as well is its a revisionist retelling of historical events by maesters who, at it's writing are trying to write Targaryen history in Robert Baratheon's reign.
But at the time the information is recorded its the maesters trying not to piss of the Rulers of the realm with their recordings, so being fond of someone is a good way to record a relationship while maintaining a barrier of liking them or having a crush. Context is important.
Tumblr media
Daemon is 'more than fond' of Nettles. The person he's taking baths with and is accused and alluded to sleeping with.
Tumblr media
The lesbian icon Rhaena Targaryen the first had a great fondness for her girlfriend and good sister.
Lady Baela, who's out here touching on boys is said to be overly fond of them. They catch one of them with his hand down her shirt.
Tumblr media
So with this context when Rhaenyra us described to be fond off and then more than fond of Laena it alludes to the progression of a relationship between them. The same with Daemon and Rhaena and Baela. In the book they use it with Rhaena and her first husband, the Good Queen and Lord Stark and most importantly, with more sapphics.
Lady Alysanne Blackwood and Lady Sabitha Frey, aka, the sapphics of the neck.
Tumblr media
I understand that the show added and took away a lot from the books, but that doesn't discredit the source material. The fondness they have is active participation in queer Targaryen activities.
I also love that in the books, they frame it in active contrast to her dislike of Alicent. The disdain towards Alicent is in contrast to the clear love, infatuation she has with Laena. Actively grieving her and making her way to her throughout their short time together.
Rhaelaena/ Laenyra today, tomorrow, and forever, I say.

the funniest part about oliver saying that buck's intro to eddie could very possibly have been misplaced jealousy because he didn't properly understand his own feelings is the fact that the exact same thing has happened yet again in 7x01 with a shirtless eddie in the locker room, and in 7x04 with misplaced jealousy because he still doesn't properly understand his own feelings

i'm still processing everything and my mind is both all over the place and hyperfixated on that final scene.
but.
oliver said there have been crumbs throughout the show for years
oliver said this is how he has always seen buck
oliver said the fans weren't crazy for clocking buck as queer, because he himself saw it too
oliver said he had to pull back from fan interaction on social media because he wanted to validate our feelings so much but couldn't because those as*holes over at fox were holding him back
oliver said he planned on playing buck differently this season, leaning more towards bi buck and this was WITHOUT knowing what tim had planned
tim said there were studio execs back when who held all the cards basically confirming that fox refused to give them the green light for this story arc
tim said he's always viewed buck's love interests as flat and never moved the story forward

I thought that happened later
Nymeria rly is the most badass name
Jon giving Arya needle melts my heart
they're so cute
both bonding over not fitting in
jfc Ned should've told Cat the truth about Jon
he loves his family so much, he doesn't deserve her vitriol over existing
"Next time we see each other, we'll talk about your mother" ffs Ned that just sealed your fate
you just don't make promises like that
I just love Tyrion spouting Street Smarts at ppl
esp Jon
"repulsive nephew" ahhhhh 😌😌
Robb baby, stepping up as Lord Stark

gotta love the wolves
look at Dany taking charge of her life
but god it's a rough start
love Cat playing CSI Winterfell
she's good at it too
she's smart, logical and good at politics
and she's sure as fuck motivated
I know Dany just wants to stop getting raped
but this is way gayer than I remember
I mean damn

Jason Momoa
that's it that's the comment
Sansa's just The Cinnamon roll to end all Cinnamon rolls
Jeoff's such a prick ughhh
I'd say Fuck him up Nymeria

oh No
Nonono
fuck you Cersei you don't have another direwolf
Lady was so good

and the wolves are such good foreshadowing for the girls
just how much does Ned have to hate himself and his moral compass
And Bran Wakes Up
2nd iconic ending for the 2nd ep

George Martin, 2013: "In a very basic level winter is coming for all of us. I think that’s one of the things that art is concerned with: the awareness of our own mortality. “Valar morghulis” – “All men must die”. That shadow lies over our world and will until medical science gives us all immortality… but I don’t think it makes it necessarily a pessimistic world. Not any more pessimistic than the real world we live in. We’re here for a short time and we should be conscious of our own mortality, but the important thing is that love, compassion and empathy with other human beings is still possible. Laughter is still possible! Even laughter in the face of death… The struggle to make the world a better place… We have things like war, murder and rape… horrible things that still exist, but we don’t have to accept them, we can fight the good fight. The fight to eliminate those things.There is darkness in the world, but I don’t think we necessarily need to give way to despair. One of the great things that Tolkien says in Lord of The Rings is “despair is the ultimate crime”. That’s the ultimate failing of Denethor, the Steward of Gondor, that he despairs of ever being able to defeat Sauron. We should not despair. We should not go gentle into that good night".
JRR Tolkien, 1962 : "One reviewer once said, this is a jolly jolly book, all the right boys come home [...]- this isn't true of course, he can't have read the story. [...] Human stories are practically always about one thing, really, aren't they? Death. The inevitability of death. . . . . . (He quotes Simone de Beauvoir) 'There is no such thing as a natural death. Nothing that ever happens to man is natural, since his presence calls the whole world into question. All men must die, but for every man his death is an accident, and even if he knows it he would sense to it an unjustifiable violation.' Well, you may agree with the words or not, but those are the key spring of The Lord Of The Rings".
"Lotr is all rainbows and unicorns and Asoiaf is nihilistic and grimdark". Wrong, and wrong. In all its hope and radiance, lotr often gets very dark, and despite all the death and suffering, the hopeful moments in asoiaf shine bright. The meeting point of these two is this: having hope while in despair, and even better, refusing to give up because you have to go on despite not having any hope left.

I will never get over the fact that 9 years old Arya freaking Stark actually heard accidentally information she wasn't supposed to hear from Varys: the master of whispers. The literal master of spy was kinda outspyed by a 9 year old being what is essentially a little bird.
And same thing with Bolton. Arya Stark was right here. He had her and the signs were here if he had just taken any interest in the Smallfolks he had in captivity and in his service.
I don't know which is funnier though. That Varys still doesn't know his conversation with Illyrio was overheard or that Bolton realized it was Arya after the fact (probably...unclear).
I love that little girl so much.

Lord Husband (Chapter 1)
Cregan x reader
A/N: this is just gonna be a miniseries methinks
word count: 1,171
Next chapter
Series Masterlist
Tumblr media
“You look like an angel, my love.” Rhaenyra says as the handmaidens pin back your hair but you don’t feel like an angel; you feel like a pawn.
You have been meeting with suitors for nearly four moons and none have seemed to be good enough for you. Lannisters are too proud, Tullys bore you, and you can’t stand a single person with the name Baratheon. Your mother said that she was showing you a great kindness in allowing you to choose, a kindness that she didn’t appreciate enough when the young queen had the chance. You don’t care. You know you are just like she was when she was younger. You often wear that with pride but you know what it means in this scenario. You’re ‘too stubborn to appreciate what has been given to you’. Rhaenyra gave you the opportunity but she was no longer patient. A husband had to be chosen.
“Winterfell is very far.” Is all you say in response.
“Lord Stark is a good man. I would not have chosen him for you if I wasn’t sure of it.” She presses a kiss to the side of your head. “Just walk through the gardens with him. Get to know the man who will be your husband.” She pets your hair in a loving manner. You can’t seem to understand that she would only have the best for you, her only daughter.
You have yet to meet Cregan Stark but you already hate him, your betrothed, the man who will whisk you away from your family to the cold North. You resent the freedoms he is taking from you. You resent being separated from your family. You resent everything about him.
“He will treat you well, sweet girl. I know it.” You stand up now, wrapped in a silk gown and decorated with jewellery like a lovely little present for him. When you get to the gardens, he is already waiting for you with a blinding smile on his face. You have to admit that he is incredibly handsome. He is tall and his physique looks strong from years of training with the sword. A real Northern man.
“Princess, it is my pleasure to meet you. Our engagement brings great honour to my house.” He walks over to stand in front of you and you let him take your hand up for a kiss, fighting the urge to roll your eyes.
“Lord Stark.” Your voice is cold which seems to surprise him ever so slightly. You don’t give him a chance to say much else as you begin to walk through the gardens, leaving him in your dust. He looks at you in a bit of a stupor before quickly following after his pretty betrothed. 
“Would you like to take my arm, princess?” He politely offers his right arm to you. How proper.
“No.” You say simply as he speeds up a bit to stay in step with you.
“No?” He looks a little confused but chalks it up to teenage girls being a little strange. You give him no other response so he makes another attempt at conversation. “Have you ever visited Winterfell?”
“No.” He awaits to hear a sentiment of your excitement to see it soon but is disappointed when none comes.
“I am sure you will love it. It’s beautiful when there's a fresh dusting of snow on the ground. I’d say it’s the greatest place in all of Westeros but I suppose i’m biased.” He grins, mostly to himself, and then looks at you, hopeful for more of a response.
“Hmm.”  Is all you offer as a reply. Cregan finds himself dejected at his future wife’s lack of interest and he tries his best to shake it off.
“It does get cold of course but you’ll be more than warm enough in the castle. Most actually find it very cozy.” He gives you another smile that likely has most women melting in a puddle at his feet. For some reason it just irritates you more.
“Dragons don’t do well in the cold.” Your curt reply makes him cringe. He can’t understand what has given you such a sense of distaste towards him. Things are silent for a moment. He has no idea how to respond directly to your comment.
“Do you have any hobbies?” Another attempt it seems. The question makes you sigh. What a boring change of subject. 
“We don’t really need to speak.” You shock him with your words, with your bratty attitude. He’d expected you to be entitled but he didn’t expect you to be outright rude. He is a lord after all, the Warden of the North. He deserves some sense of courtesy from you.
“That is going to be difficult seeing as how we are to be wed.” He scoffs and you begin to fiddle with the rings that decorate your fingers.
“The only thing you need from me in this marriage is to fill my belly with your heirs.” You say. You know it’s harsh but it isn’t necessarily untrue. He seems to be taken aback slightly by your words.
“You don’t wish to get to know the man you’re going to marry?” He asks in disbelief. He seems like a romantic. You didn’t think people of nobility were allowed to be romantics. Though, simply knowing your husband better is a sad definition of romanticism.
“You ask many questions.” You roll your eyes and he does his best to hold his tongue and not say something stupid.
“And you answer practically none, princess.” There was a bit of bite in his words. He clearly believes that you’re acting like a spoilt child. 
Awkward silence fills the space between you both. You wonder if he may apologise to you and he earns a bit more of your respect because he doesn’t. It’s quiet for quite some time and you try to walk faster so that you may get to the end of the gardens before he tries to make conversation again. He never does and it isn’t long before the promenade comes to an untimely finish.
“Good day to you, my lord.” Poor Lord Stark looks like he’s rethinking all of his life choices when you say the words to him. What an ill fate for the man, marrying a cold Targaryen princess.
“To you as well, princess.” You don’t lift your hand up for him to kiss again and based on the fact that he looks like a kicked puppy, you know that he wanted to.
You leave quickly. You did your duty… technically. Your mother asked you to walk through the gardens with him and you did. Mayhaps you simply forgot about the getting to know him part. You wonder if he will retract his proposal, but who would ever retract a proposal to a princess? Maybe you’re delaying the inevitable, maybe you’re just full of old fashioned Targaryen spite but you have no wish to create a relationship with the man you’re meant to marry.

MCU couple can never say I love you normally it’s always something like “I’m with you till the end of the line”, “It’s just..some unspoken things”, “I love you 3000” after you died in a pre recorded message, “You promised! I love you, more than anything” after asking your bf to kill you and most importantly “I know what kind of god I need to be. For you” and “It was more about what I wanted”

Just finished the Breakdown™️ episode (5x13) and I feel like clawing at my walls tbh. The way Chris’ immediate response is to call Buck, and the way Buck’s face changes when he hears ‘Dad, dad, dad!’, because that’s Eddie, HIS Eddie, and HIS kid. And then how he rushes in, first thing is to calm Chris,,, he puts his hands on each side of his face that’s how you console YOUR child, not your best friend’s child, and then knocks on the door and instead of saying “Eddie it’s Buck,” he says “Eddie it’s me,” because Eddie would only ever expect that ‘me’ to be Buck. Hen, Chim, Bobby, they’d announce their names….
And then he forces the door open bc he’s so worried, and he sees the wall and the glass, and his voice quivers and “E-Eddie?” Because what if he hurt himself ???? What would he do then????
And he hears him cry and he’s ofc devastated but at least he’s alive y’know? And he rushes to his side and kneels, and his eyes soften at the sight of a sobbing Eddie and he asks very calmly what’s going on and idk about you guys but what I saw was Buck physically restraining himself from hugging him bc he KNOWS it would make things worse but he wants to comfort him so BAAAAADLY. And then Eddie asks how’s Chris and Buck says “he’s still scared out of his mind… he’s not the only one.” PLEASE
Currently chewing glass guys fr
