oh gosh i hate to be a twitter warrior but male directors fuck people on the cast probably every movie they do but suddenly olivia wilde can’t do her job and be in a committed relationship all at the same time
mother died giving birth to him, siblings left him to starve, bloodraven’s warging into him before he could walk, bi-disaster emo father, “ghost, to me” ever 5 fucking seconds, ygritte, fighting the others, had to see mormont naked, attacked by an eagle, fatshamed at a feast
men: i never cheated on you please believe me!
ned stark: i cheated on you please believe that! i cheated on you so hard look here’s proof of my adultery doesn’t he look just like me? that’s definitely my love child tell everyone you know
@tryguys
was the woman he cheated with an employee? why is he losing his job for cheating on his wife? don’t get me wrong, cheating is disgusting but why is he getting fired over this?
the show deciding to have jaime reveal he was SA’d by his maester as a throw away line and never thinking how that would influence his and cersei’s hyper sexuality and normalized attraction to each other at such a young age was such core d&d
the 3 most important people in the story (daenerys, jon and bran) are all unable to have children, to me, that’s the smoking gun that the story is trying to say inheriting power based on bloodlines makes for an insufficient, insufferable power structure but whatever
you’re not ever gonna leave a jon chapter without him calling at least 3 people uglier than sin. no matter how much he’s grown and matured he’s still gonna let you know what animal the guardsman looks like
if only fictional jon could know everyone prefers him over aegon the conqueror. it would literally cure his depression, anxiety, ptsd, grief, imposter syndrome, insomnia, avoidant-attachment disorder and survivor’s guilt
Part 2 || The etymology of character's names
Amon, or Aamon, is a great and mighty marques, and commeth abroad in the likeness of a Wolf, having a serpents tail, [vomiting] flames of fire; the name shares its meaning as "the hidden one.
the childlike belief that your father can stop all the hurt and fear in your world. but for sansa it never really stops being true, if ned were alive none of the abuse she faces later on would have come to her
i like that she’s kinda nuts when it comes to her style, very much art teacher that eats lunch on the bench in the parking lot. you can tell she’s having fun
do you guys ever think about the sound that’s haunted ned for 15 years was lyanna pleading for jon’s life and the last sound he heard before his death was sansa pleading for his
Written and to be directed by Natasha Kermani, ‘The Dreadful’ set against the backdrop of the War of the Roses follows Anne (Sophie Turner) and her mother-in-law Morwen, who live a solitary, harsh life on the outskirts of society. But when a man (Kit Harington) from their past
“Winterfell looked like something that had been here for thousands of years, and would be here for thousands of years after I was dead. Of course Ned Stark crushed our rebellion and killed my brothers. We never stood a chance against the man who lives here."
Winterfell:
the myth that sansa bullied jon is so embarrassing for jon snow stans please he’s enough of a loser already he wasn’t crying in a closet bc of an 11 year old girl
stark siblings growing up having casual sibling fights. robb and sansa fighting over who gets to sit where at dinner, arya and bran fighting over toys, little rickon pulling out sansa’s hair ribbon, robb and jon giving each other the silent treatment when training gets too rough
there was like a good 2 months on asoiaf twt where everyone was tweeting about jory like he mattered. that’s when i knew winds couldn’t come soon enough
grrm may very well make lyanna/rhaegar and sansa/sandor into love stories but it’s still okay for readers to look at it and say “that’s wrong, i’m not morally okay with this” bc art is meant to be talked about, analyzed and discussed
@fa5ma_
the whole reason catelyn fears jon is bc he look like a northman and her sons don’t. every stark we’ve ever met sans cat’s kids have a specific “stark look” it’s her biggest fear so i think cersei should get dirty idk
something so special about joffrey clinging to his Lannister side while trying to prove he’s a Baratheon vs Robb trying prove himself as a Stark king while clinging to his Tully family
maybe i’m so dumb that it’s working in reverse but nothing about HotD ever confused me and i never questioned a character’s motivations like i was always been able to follow the thought processes and storylines. i never know what you guys are talking about when you complain
@jjwhcre
when he visits tyrion in the dungeons and tyrion starts talking about their disabled cousin, he mentions maester volarik and jaime says something like “he touched me once” or “he always tried to touch me” while tyrion just keeps talking over him
grrm said that only nobles have their heads cut off as a sign of respect and lowborns are hanged but when stannis is constantly threatening to execute jon (a lowborn) he threatens him with beheading proving that this is a sign of affection bc jon is his favorite son he never had
Brian Cox says Joaquin Phoenix was “truly terrible” in ‘NAPOLEON’
“I think it’s totally his fault. I would have played it a lot better… I think he’s well named. Joaquin…whackeen... whacky. It’s a sort of whacky performance”

imagine you just had a childbirth so harrowing you almost died and your husband pulls out a fucking harp. elia you’re a stronger soldier than barristian selmy
remember when catelyn took a liking to mya stone but it forced her to admit to herself she felt guilty for mistreating jon so she immediately started to dislike the bastard girl instead? i do.
thinking of catelyn hearing ned say something like “thank gods he looks like me” and taking it as “thank gods he looks like me bc at least one of my sons should”
