Give me plus size women in main character roles where the story does not revolve around them being plus sized in the slightest—

Show me post-apocalyptic plus size women with nail studded baseball bats and hand guns and the ability to use both and use them effectively—

Show me a rebel plus size woman screaming for the freedom of her people with a bow and arrow strapped to her back and her fist raised and winning—

Show me a plus size woman who is desired— who is falling in love without thinking twice and fighting for that love and then show me that love withstanding every trial that’s thrown it’s way—

Show me a plus size vampire who is the epitome of desire and sex and lust and beauty and grace and everything so fucking delicious and wanted—

Show me the queen of dragons with thighs that her knight would cave for— beg for— and show me her burning cities to the ground and not regretting a single damn second of it—

Show me something that rivals The Maze Runner, The Notebook, The Hunger Games, Game of Thrones, The Vampire Diaries and give me plus size women in the same roles as Teresa, Allie, Katniss, Daenerys, Elena and make it about the adventures and not about how they’re afraid to look in the mirror—

Show me fearless, loving, loved plus size women on the big screen slaying dragons and slaying men and, yeah I’ll say it, fucking men too—

And women—

Show me plus size women who don’t hate themselves— who have thick arms and thick tummies and— god— thick thighs and love themselves—

Show me plus size women loving themselves and show me them now

I've been tagged in different tag games, so I'm answering them all here.

@eldritch-crone tagged me and asked me 11 questions:

Rules: Answer the 11 questions below. Then make up 11 of your own for the next person to answer and tag people.

1. If you could get two characters in asoiaf to switch their narratives with each other, who all would it be?

I would say Jon and Dany (I would have them gender swapped as well), because I feel like that wouldn't really change a lot and they would end up having similar arcs as they have in canon (like, their arcs are both about compromising until they reach a point in which they don't want to compromise anymore, and both are trying to make changes in society). I choose this because I would like to prove once and for all that Jon and Dany are similar rulers.

2. What is your endgame prediction for your favourite character?

Well, unpopular opinion here, I think Dany will live. I don't see any other purpose for her time in Meereen in which she learns how to rule, deals with economy, diplomacy and justice, and also learns about the different sides of peace and war. I think those things are all essential for a ruler, and I believe Westeros will undergo political and social changes, and who has experience with that? Dany. I don't think the whole "true sacrifice" thing has to be about Dany, literally any other character could sacrifice themselves to save the world. And GRRM has said multiple times that he has never changed the ending, and we know from the outline that Dany lived (or maybe that's just me trying to be positive, and maybe I'll be disappointed in the end). I'm not sure if Dany will be queen, but I think she'll have a political role. And boatbaby will happen.

3. What’s the one food item from asoiaf that you’d like to taste?

That's a problem for me to answer, because I'm really bored by food descriptions, so I don't pay a lot of attention to that. So I don't know… maybe Sansa's lemoncakes?

4. What’s your favourite song in Westeros, and why?

It's a tie between The Last of the Giants, because it criticizes the genocide of the giants (and therefore it's talking about important social issues), and The Rains of Castamere, because this one is simply iconic.

5. If you could bring back one character from dead, who would it be?

None, really? I'm fine with the way the story has been going so far. But if I had to choose someone, I'd choose princess Rhaenys (Elia and Rhaegar's daughter), because it always breaks my heart reading about what happened to her.

6. Which house’s words is the most iconic? Why?

Winter is coming are the best house's words. It's both badass (a warning against enemies that winter is coming for them) and it warns about hardships to come (like, it's a warning against the true enemy), how it's important to keep together and worry about what actually matters.

7. If you could bring one fashion/stylistic choice from Essos to Westeros, what would it be?

Well, that's another thing I don't really pay a lot of attention (I really hate reading descriptions, lol), but I guess Myrish fashion. I know it kind of already came to Westeros and that some highborn women already use Myrish dresses and all, but it seems like Myr has some pretty dresses (and I like lace).

8. If you were a character in asoiaf, what do you think your occupation would be?

Hmmm, I always feel like I would be a peasant, so I'd probably be a washerwoman or something. Or maybe I'd do like Sarella and crossdress to become a maester (though to be honest, I'm a coward, I don't think I would have the courage to do that).

9. What’s the one ship in asoiaf, that you wish didn’t happen?

Jaime and Brienne (well it hasn't exactly happened, but I already don't like it the way it is). I understand the reasons this ship exists, I understand the thematic importance and all, but I don't like Jaime, so that's that on that.

10. What’s your favourite quote from asoiaf?

"A queen must listen to all," she reminded him. "The highborn and the low, the strong and the weak, the noble and the venal. One voice may speak you false, but in many there is always truth to be found." She had read that in a book. - Daenerys I ASOS

This is my favorite for several reasons. First, because it shows how Dany is smart and wise. She is a bookworm (she read it in a book), and she sees that while not everyone will speak the truth to her, she can find the truth if she listens to different versions of a story. Not only that, but it shows how Dany is humble and understands that she doesn't know everything, that she needs to listen to others. And it also shows how Dany sees people as equals, how she gives the same importance to the highborn and the low, and she thinks a queen must be a queen for all. It's a wonderful quote.

11. If you could change one pre-asoiaf event, what would it be?

Hmm, like I said, I'm fine with the way the story is going. I keep thinking that if I change anything, things right now wouldn't be how they are. But if I have to choose, I save princess Rhaenys.

@hermajestythebomb also asked me 11 questions:

1. Wich two dead characters who never met would make the best interaction?

I'm having trouble thinking about it (this is what happens when you only really care about one character, it's quite difficult for me to think about anything that isn't Daenerys), but I think Joffrey and Viserys would be quite interesting. Though to be honest, while Viserys is an awful person, I think Joffrey would eat him alive.

2. Show! Tyrion or Book! Tyrion?

Book!Tyrion. I really don't like show Tyrion. Ever since he started to interact with Dany, he has been stealing her storyline (her ADWD arc was given to him), Dany has been dumbed down around him (he makes all of Dany's battle plans and Dany never has any idea), because the show writers don't know how to write smart characters without dumbing down everyone else around them, and I hate this trend the show has of Tyrion having to "control Dany's violent impulses", especially because book Tyrion is way darker than book Dany.

I like book Tyrion. He's smart (much smarter than show Tyrion), I sympathize with his wish to be loved and respected, I like his conflict between his loyalty to his family and doing what he thinks is right, I think he's an empathetic person, and I think that when Dany and Tyrion meet in the books, GRRM will be capable to write them without stealing anyone's protagonism or dumbing down anyone. Both Dany and Tyrion will be the protagonists of their own stories, and both will continue to be the smart characters that they are.

3. Have you read the books? If so…wich book character would you would have liked to see on the show and didn’t?

I love Arianne Martell, but I'm not sure if I would have liked to see her on the show (being on the show only means that D&D would ruin her like they ruined everyone else).

4. What’s your favorite crack theory?

I'm not really a fan of crack theories. But I once read this theory that princess Rhaenys warged into Balerion before she died, and well… I know this theory is not necessary at all, Occam's Razor says that Balerion is just a cat, blah blah blah… but I grew fond of this theory. It's my guilty pleasure.

5. What’s your favorite minor house?

Velaryon (it's not minor, but it's minor to the ASOIAF plot, so…)

6. Team greens or team blacks?

Blacks.

7. Favorite Pre Asoiaf character

Good Queen Alysanne!!!!

8. Best Asoiaf food

I really don't pay attention to food description… but definitely not Dornish. I don't like spicy food.

9. If you could make a minor change in the story…what would it be?

I can't really think of anything...

10. Would you try the pidgeon pie (without the strangler)?

No.

11. Say that you have been named by our queen and made a lord/lady…what would you put in your sigil?

I answered this in another tag game, I would put a book in my sigil.

Finally, @thebronzefury tagged me in a ship challenge:

Well, since you said that it doesn't have to be GOT/ASOIAF, I'm going to answer about different fandoms.

OTP: Jonerys

Fave canon: Aside from Jonerys, I love Maiko (Mai x Zuko) and Everlark (Katniss and Peeta)

Fave non-canon: actually, I'm pretty sure this would count as canon as well, but it's never made official, so I would say Royai (Roy Mustang and Riza Hawkeye)

Guilty pleasure: Hmmm, I don't have one?

Hate it: J/onsa, Z/utara (Zuko x Katara). I don't really have a problem with the ships, but certain shippers are awful, so I end up hating the ships by association.

Thanks for the tag, everyone! I already made 11 questions before (here), so this time I'll leave it open to anyone that wants to do the 11 questions or the ship challenge.
