THIS IS A POST TO SPREAD SOME LOVE FOR THEON GREYJOY.

Reblog this and say something nice to our little baby

We don’t belong in this world.

Thorin: *holding resume* so what do you think your biggest weakness is as a burglar?

Bilbo: I’m not a burglar.

Thorin: Commitment to playing innocent, I like it. 

“Those poor boys”

“She deserves to be punished too.”

“I’m not saying I support rape, but-”

“Sorry to say - she deserved it.”

“She put herself in harm’s way”

“But if she was fingered, then that’s not rape.”

“She ruined their lives.”

What makes you think, my friend, that you’ll win this time?

it’s hilarious to me when people call historical fashions that men hated oppressive

like in BuzzFeed’s Women Wear Hoop Skirts For A Day While Being Exaggeratedly Bad At Doing Everything In Them video, one woman comments that she’s being “oppressed by the patriarchy.” if you’ve read anything Victorian man ever said about hoop skirts, you know that’s pretty much the exact opposite of the truth

thing is, hoop skirts evolved as liberating garment for women. before them, to achieve roughly conical skirt fullness, they had to wear many layers of petticoats (some stiffened with horsehair braid or other kinds of cord). the cage crinoline made their outfits instantly lighter and easier to move in

it also enabled skirts to get waaaaay bigger. and, as you see in the late 1860s, 1870s, and mid-late 1880s, to take on even less natural shapes. we jokingly call bustles fake butts, but trust me- nobody saw them that way. it was just skirts doing weird, exciting Skirt Things that women had tons of fun with

men, obviously, loathed the whole affair

(1864)

(1850s. gods, if only crinolines were huge enough to keep men from getting too close)

(no date given, but also, this is 100% impossible)

(also undated, but the ruffles make me think 1850s)

it was also something that women of all social classes- maids and society ladies, enslaved women and free women of color -all wore at one point or another. interesting bit of unexpected equalization there

and when bustles came in, guess what? men hated those, too

(1880s)

(probably also 1880s? the ladies are being compared to beetles and snails. in case that was unclear)

(1870s, I think? the bustle itself looks early 1870s but the tight fit of the actual gown looks later)

hoops and bustles weren’t tools of the patriarchy. they were items 1 and 2 on the 19th century’s “Fashion Trends Women Love That Men Hate” lists, with bonus built-in personal space enforcement

Reblog if you think Alfie Allen (Theon Greyjoy) deserves consideration for Emmy nomination

We are trying to gauge the level of support that can be expected from the Tumblr fandom alone. What for? We are thinking about launching a fan campaign to help convince HBO to submit Alfie Allen’s name for the 2018 Emmy nominating ballots, based on his excellent work in season 7 of Game of Thrones. Alfie Allen’s name was last submitted in 2012 for his season 2 work. While there is some evidence to suggest that HBO may very well submit Alfie’s name next year  (Theon finally got his first ever official poster from HBO this season!) along with those of the other veterans (Dinklage etc.), I think a strong gesture of support from fans wouldn’t hurt. Consider this our zeroth step.
