Beuty Of Memes Trancending Languages Is Witnessing Someone Complain How “Goncharov” Should Be Transliterated

I'm in hysterics watching the scene where Athos and Aramis tell the other everything. Sure, it's dramatic and awful and very bad stuff happens - justice for Lemay and Marguerite :(((! - but also: Treville experiencing more emotions in those 2 minutes than he had in his entire life up to this point? Porthos being so angry he expresses it by angrily hugging Aramis? D'Artagnan, notoire adulterer, having the most disappointed and long-suffering expression?? "You could have done that by not sleeping with her"?? Athos' look of pure resignation??? Each "there's more" eating away at Treville's sanity??? Treville flinging the hat??? Comedy gold.

Oliver: Collage really does change people huh. ____ I just love the idea of Oliver being baffled by playboy Brucie when all he knew about him is that playground weirdo who never stop talking about forensics and constantly got his ass kicked by kids who picked on him before he got expelled from their school.

I'm with the " Thomas and Martha were actually weird as fuck before they died" crowd. I like to imagine vigilantism is just an old Wayne family tradition.

Martha Kane, serial sugar baby, casually stalks and kidnaps creepy men, abusers, and predators, only came at the Wayne Gala for a new sugar daddy after bankrupting Carmine Falcone:

Thomas Wayne, rich ass doctor with flexible morals, deep as fuck basement, and access to a RIDICULOUS amount of sedatives:

I’m finally reading the Accursed Kings series by Maurice Druon, I had not realized it covered the case of Marguerite and Blanche of Burgundy and ummm….. really has forcibly put HoTD back into historical perspective for me.

For those not familiar with it, the daughters-in-law of King Philip the Fair of France, Marguerite (married to the eldest son Louis) and Blanche (married to the youngest son Charles) were both caught having an affair with a pair of brothers. Needless to say, it does not end well for any of the parties involved. The men were flayed, hanged, and beheaded, and the two princesses were imprisoned, with Marguerite being murdered a year later so that her husband could remarry. And her daughter, Jeanne, who would have been the heiress of France, may or may not be a bastard, so is forcibly removed from the line of succession by the invention of Salic law, which dictates that the crown can only pass to men through the male line. (Since Louis who may or may not have been her father died without any male heirs) Unsurprisingly, this causes problems! And partly sparks (among other things) the Hundred Years War between France and England.

Having bastards is serious business with serious consequences for married women. And YES, it is absolutely unfair and ridiculous that men can do it with far fewer consequences, but the show downplayed what those consequences can be. In GoT, the whole starting point is that Cersei has illegitimate children and passed them off as her husbands, and people are killed to keep that secret. Not to mention the humiliating punishment that she has to endure, and she was only being punished for having sex as a widow!!!

My point is that Rhaenyra having bastard children is kinda downplayed in the show, and that this IS a big deal both historically and in universe was glossed over.

Rhaegar married Elia Martell for her distant Targaryen ancestry to fulfil the Prince That Was Promised prophecy. This only happened because Steffon Baratheon was unable to procure a bride from Volantis from a noble line descending from Old Valyria - all with the silver hair and purple eyes. But then Rhaegar got obsessed with another prophecy and thought he had to have three children because "the dragon must have three heads".

When it was medically unviable for her to bear more children after two, he got obsessed with the "song of ice and fire" part of the prophecy and pursued Lyanna, a teenage Stark girl, to fulfil it with another child probably because of misinterpreting the failed Pact of Ice and Fire during the Dance of Dragons. I'm gonna bet he even convinced himself that the Starks had Targaryen blood because of it with all those rumours about dragon eggs being left under Winterfell. Lyanna died in childbirth because she was too young and physically unfit to bear a child just yet.

For all the romanticisation that certain parts of the fandom engage in, if his sister Dany was born sooner rather than after his death, Rhaegar would've ditched both women for her to make more prophecy children happen, which is why Jaehaerys II married his sister Shaera and had their children Aerys II and Rhaella marry each other. All in the name of prophecy.

Ultimately, Rhaegar stealing Lyanna and Aerys II's murders of her father and brother and key members of other Houses became the undoing of House Targaryen by triggering Robert's Rebellion. It turned out that Dany herself was that prophecy child and that prophecy might not even mean anything good because she is the Fire Threat personified with her dragons. And Rhaegar's little failed attempt at prophecy children will oppose Dany at the end for a variety of reasons. Thereby creating another kind of Dance of Dragons to wipe out dragons again and throw out the Targaryen dynasty again but also end it for good.

Targaryens didn't have to be like Maegor the Cruel, Aegon the Unworthy or Aerys The Mad King to be "mad". Targaryen "Madness" includes its obsession with greatness and willing to gamble a number of lives to make it happen.

It's the same reason Aegon V's actions to hatch dragons resulted in the Tragedy of Summerhall almost wiping out his family. The same reason Dany walked into that funeral pyre truly believing she would hatch her dragons when it has backfired a number of times within her family and she just lucked out. Aerion Brightflame believed he could survive drinking wildfire because "fire cannot kill a dragon" and Dany has the same mindset, even if she is a very different person.

I need everyone to know that the ship Götheborg, the world's largest ocean-going wooden sailing ship, answered a distress call the other day.

Imagine waiting for the coast guard or whatever to show up and instead a replica of 18th century merchant ship pulls up and tows you to the coast.

teenage taylor dressed up in vintage ball gowns and was shamed by men in her personal life for not being mature and then she stopped the ‘fairytale’ stories in her head to try and prove herself. now she’s made her way back into the fairytale for a song about coming out of a relationship you didn’t feel appreciated in and learning to appreciate yourself, childlike tendencies and all

Steve makes one of those teacher tiktok accounts where he mostly talks about teaching and tips for learning and stuff, he also posts videos like

“You wonder what it’s like to be a teacher? I’m spending my evening doing seating arrangements, the trick is to not let people who have any kind of tension, are close friends, have a crush, lose concentration easily, sit close to each other… so basically I’m playing sudoko but I only have 1, 2s, and 3s… and also the numbers change daily..” you can see him looking down at something wrinkling his eyebrows and then nodding to himself and he’s like “I think I got it though”

the next day he duets it and it’s just him looking tired and in the background you can hear incoherent shouting, the caption just says ‘there’s apparently been a breakup’

for some reason there’s a comment by Eddie Munson, famous rockstar, that’s like “you should let it play out, drama is what high school is about” and Steve has just replied “this is why you repeated senior year twice” not acknowledging at all that this famous Grammy winner commented and everyone are just like ??? ?? what are you doing here ??? and why is this high school teacher roasting u ???
