there's something absolutely heartbreaking about taylor phrasing the feeling of losing a fundamental part of your life as a woman to an abusive man that took advantage of the age gap in the relationship as "Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first" because it just SHOWS how young she was, it's phrased as one of those things that little girls say like "Give me back my barbie, it was mine first" i don't even know how to explain this properly but that shit HURT ME
If Arya didn’t know how to read and write, it would be a cause for concern. If the only barrier to her learning to write was not wanting to accept feedback and running out of the room every time someone gave her feedback on her alphabet, even the most ardent fan girl would concede that she was simply spoilt.
Guess what? It’s a preindustrial society, and sewing is as important as reading, and, no, marrying a wealthy guy will not save any woman from that.
Arya is literally refusing to learn a basic life skill and the only argument that her stans can come up with is that she’s basically too precious and special to have to learn.
That’s pathetic.
every person can feel freddie’s presence in their souls when they sing MAMAAAAAA UUHHHH, I DONT WANNA DIE, I SOMETIMES I WISH I’VE NEVER BEEN BORN AT ALL with all the air in their lungs i’m not joking
Many people are claiming "Just way for Blood and Cheese, justice will be served" That's nasty,what justice? Luke was an 18 yo adult ENVOY with a fire-breathing WMD at his disposal,making him an active participant in the conflict of Blacks VS Greens. His war machine was the one who attacked first and died on an accident. Jahaerys,Jaehaera and Maelor were not combatants. They had quite literally 0 sway on the conflict.They were 5 and 2 years old. Who's on the sane mind could call that "justice"?
These stans are so dumb. Look at the reaction to Luke's death - it was far from the reaction to Ned's death. People were shocked and devastated when he died, it literally put GoT on the map. No one really cares about Luke. He is more like an NPC than a character. When he died, we were making jokes about it - Vhagar having bad eyesight, Aemond going home in silence, Alicent's horrified reaction to the news, Aegon's oblivious reaction to Aemond's remorse, etc.
People were making fun of Luke for coming to Storm's End so unprepared. A good amount of people were thirsting after Aemond like their lives depend on it. All of this is largely in part thanks to Aemond and Luke's ages being close and their pre-established beef that resulted in Aemond's disability.
Blood and Cheese will involve 2 toddlers and a mother who is at the very least coded as autistic. The kids were made even younger than they were in the books. In the show, they babble instead of talking that's how young they are.
You also have Helaena who is sweet and shown to be childlike. When the two assassins threatened to rape one toddler and murder the other, all while their poor helpless mother watches, who will laugh at that? What jokes can you even make about a situation like that? You don't even have to care about any of these characters, they can be NPCs too but this is a horrifying act involving babies. Plus, in the books you can pretend Daemon cares about Luke but in the show, he has a contentious relationship with Jace so it's doubtful he had a good relationship with Luke.
So no, Blood and Cheese won't be seen as 'justice' by anyone besides a small group of weirdos.
i will NEVER stop being emotional about how much cassian andor cares about people. like he’s ruthless, yes. down to murder. but he tells his mother to turn the heater on. he visits his friends in the middle of the night just to see them. he tries to keep ulaf from being punished when ulaf can’t be on program. he stays with him as he dies. he encourages kino to speak to the prisoners because he knows that’s kino’s strength. he lifts people and moves them along and tries to help as many people escape as he can. he notices something’s wrong with kino when everyone is escaping, and doesn’t get the chance to help. he is so stone cold and so compassionate. how does one man fit all that in his soul. tf
ok I knew Jaskier was a master of the seven liberal arts but I had no idea what they actually were until I looked them up and wouldn’t u know it, astronomy is one of them, which encompasses navigation, mathematics and actual physics. Now I’m laughing at this thought:
Some mage who Geralt got hired to kill a monster or smth for idk: damn this equation I’m doing for a spell isn’t working
Jaskier, a bard who the mage saw being yelled at by Geralt earlier because he tried to fuck the Lord’s son and nearly succeeded: that’s because you’re doing it wrong lol
Mage: you are literally a bard wdym
Jaskier, a bard who has the equivalent of a physics masters degree: yeah and
fucking constant reboot remake reboot remake reboot remake reboot remake!!!!!!!!!! the tv has only been around for like a century you literally cannot be out of ideas already
also imagine the kids looking through their family albums the first time and realizing how young their mom was when she was already married 😭 like they always knew this in theory but the older they get the more it sinks in
