SANSA ACOK II // BRIENNE AFFC I
ADWD and AFFC being concurrent books is really funny because people in essos will be like "I'm sure the lion queen is well aware of daenerys' dragons in meereen and is preparing the kingdom for when she decides to come for the iron throne" meanwhile cersei is having the crash out of the century because of a 16 year old who likes to play dolls with her son
not enough robert x gil-martin content out there. come on guys they were so queer coded. be yaoipilled
I really enjoy neurodivergent readings of classic literature because the whole "i have an obsession with being pure/great/always seen as morally good" "sometimes I get obsessed with an idea and believe I'm on the right path and don't act rationally" "i feel uneasy and incapable of enjoying things since [traumatic event(s)]" "I feel alienated from society and don't understand it at all" bunch of thoughts that are very present in most classics are almost always big symptoms of some kind of mental illness (which, in fact, does add a lot to the story) and I love to see people talk about them from that perspective instead of just "lol this guy is whiny and dumb"
What if you wanted to be KING but your niece and nephews were BASTARDS and your brother was GAY and STUPID and everyone HATED you and you couldn’t find a DENTIST for your teeth you ground down and a PRIESTESS told you to kill your DAUGHTER and a CLOWN was there
I love Vincent x Thomas with my heart and soul because with all that forbidden love legit all they want is vanilla marital sex. They are not angsty, no hate, just romantic love.
They are the older couple in the house next door. You look out the window to the beautiful garden they have grown having been in the neighborhood for decades. You ask them how they met, and they gush talking how they found each other at a time they both felt lost and it felt like a second chance. They are both retired. They are active participants in the community. They go to church every Sunday. Their sons and daughters visit every other week, the yard filled with noise of their grandchildren playing. They are that soft quiet love that make people wish they grow old together for.
But he is the Pope and he is the Dean.
rewatching game of thrones right now and the scene where cersei asks for lady to be killed in nymeria’s place is such a good metaphor/foreshadowing for sansa’s experience over the course of the rest of the show (for a while). she lies and allies herself with the lannisters for her own safety, playing the perfect lady, but ultimately she is repeatedly the one punished for her family’s actions because she’s simply the stark they have lying around. killing lady symbolized them cutting her off from her family and heritage at the same time they ‘defanged’ her.
