I think we need to disambiguate "we." Here is my suggestion:

* We - The speaker and the listener

* Wu - The speaker, the listener, and someone else

* Wo - The speaker and someone else, but not the listener

* Wa - The speaker and Waluigi

if Tywin is a scumbag with zero redeeming qualities it is his fault and his alone, not Rhaegar and Lyanna's 🤦‍♂️

He killed Elia and her children not because they were a threat, but because Rhaegar married her and not Cersei. It was a punishment.

Even Oberyn said it 😭 Why do you think he sent the Mountain to kill them? Why Ned is blaming only Tywin for their deaths? He hates that man with a burning passion.

it doesn't matter who started the rebellion, there are rulers in war. Tywin is a war criminal. if Robert was a better man he would have punished Tywin. But no, he called Rhaegar's children dragonspawn....

2024 and people are still giving these two a pass

Chrome just crashed to kick me off tumblr. Honestly valid, time to go to bed

I'm new to embroidery and.

What does this even mean????

I know what a straight stitch is but am I doubling back? Am I wrapping the thread around?

Rhaegar and Lyanna—well, that’s a revelation that will need to wait for later volumes. But if you are uncertain about it, I am glad. That is one thing I wanted to do was suggest the uncertainty of truth. I mean, think about it. In our own world, we don’t even now what happened between Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemmings … The truth of Rhaegar and Lyanna may be similarly elusive … for a time. - GRRM

GRRM comparing the oh so romanticized Thomas Jefferson & Sally Hemmings to the oh so romanticized Rhaegar & Lyanna is so confusing to me?

- Without question Thomas Jefferson was a real life slave owner and r*pist to teenage Sally Hemmings. Yet American media/“history” was disgusting enough to try and “romanticize the two as a love story” 🤮

Therefore George is either showcasing how troubling the story is between R/L comparing them to a historically monstrous relationship between another teen girl and far more powerful man….or he’s buying into the romanticism? 🤮

KOSA really highlights how much american law and companies dictate everything for the entire world, but how, unless you're american, there is not much you can do about it. i can't call or write a rep about KOSA because i'm not american, my representatives have no sway here, but if KOSA passes i'd have to give ID to access anything hosted in america. and because of how the world works, most things are based in the USA.

it affects the privacy and safety of non-citizens, of people who don't even live in the country, and yet because we aren't american, there's nothing we can do.

So y’all know the classic edge trope of “my blade cannot be sheathed until it has tasted blood”? What if a magic sword that has that requirement, except it’s sort of inverted. A sword that, instead of being inhabited by an evil spirit which once awakened cannot be lulled back to sleep except by blood sacrifice, was inhabited by a benevolent spirit who would not allow the sword to be drawn unless bloodshed were the only possible solution. A sword whose power could never be misused because it would only allow itself to be used in situations where it was justified. What about a Paladin who spends their entire journey fighting with a sheathed sword, incapacitating but never killing or maiming. The party believes that the Paladin has taken an oath of no killing, until they face the big villain. And it is in that moment, and that moment alone, that the sword will allow itself to be drawn.

Idk, this image set my mindwheels a-turning.

But do y’all see the vision?

Eyyyyyyy

this post was supposed to be a lighthearted post about aspec people by highlighting them in a joking way that still instills positivity and pride in the identity .

unfortunately too many people are too chronically online and media illiterate to realise that so let’s break down the post.

‘shout out to the people not having gay sex this pride month’

this was intentionally a worded to counter the ‘have lots of gay sex this pride month’ jokes and positivity that surround pride discussions. The wording directly associates with anti-queer activity and their frequent attempt to divert attention from queer people during the month of pride. it is worded intentionally. it is supposed to seem counter active to pride .

the humour is then seeing a pride flag. specifically the asexual flag- in which case this stands for an umbrella term across the aspec community which is more recognisable than the variety of aspec flags that i had seen whilst looking for a flag for this post . the grey line of the asexual flag stands for the spectrum between allosexual and asexual it represents the degrees of asexuality and in so, with the purple, stood for the aspec community in this post.

if the joke is still lost on you, the idea was to read a statement that counters the idea of queer pride and find it recontextualised to humorously represent an identity associated with the lack of sexual attraction; ergo no gay sex .

what this post is NOT, is a comment on varied asexual attraction. it us not a commentary on what makes a valid asexual person or whether or not you specifically will have sexual inter course this pride month . it is not saying asexuals are not allowed to have sex . this post is pushing any stereotype of asexuality . op is a sex having aspec person. i am demisexual . i have been with my partner for almost 2 years and engage in sexual activity .

what this post IS, is a joke. it’s a fucking joke i cant make it any clearer. not every single joke is going to relate to your own experiences and that’s ok. not every post about asexuality is going to relate to your own experiences that’s ok. you need to stop taking things at face value and actually engage in some media literacy to understand when something is a reductionist and stereotyping commentary which is inherently negative and when something uses a reductionist approach to convey humour because a lot of you really seem to be struggling with that one.

i fear a lot of you take yourselves too seriously and can’t find the humour in simple tumblr shitposts to the point where i’m having to actually explain what i thought was a very easy concept to grasp because it has upset a lot of people . stop taking everything so seriously .

if you are offended by the original post that is actually a you problem. that is something you have to work on where you cannot accept any form of lighthearted media that does not directly align with your own experiences . bc it’s not serious . it’s a joke x

also allo people can fuck off bc this is literally a post celebrating aspec ppl idc if your gf lives across the country or if you’re just a single loser this literally has nothing to do w u

yall make me want to kms for making me do this
