#I think it’s like. a case of eyrie didn’t show up at the ship so everyone went out to explore again

[impossible-rat-babies]

I’m still thinking about that “you promised” “I know” post

[asknightqueendany]

Calling out my idiotic jonsa logic?! First of all I don’t even ship Jonsa. I would have never found your blog if I had. Also is so rude of you to say that bc they can interpret it however they want and it’s just for fun because it’s a tv show. But you calling people idiots and stupid for not wanting to view the show the exact way YOU do is rude and uncalled for. Especially since Jonsas don’t tag you in their posts trying to get ur response or anything so what you’re doing is unexpected

I am just genuinely SO confused right now. Okay, for those just now tuning in, I’m gonna give you a play by play of how this all went down:

1) I saw a post pertaining to Jonsa in the “Game of Thrones” tag. It was ALSO tagged with: “Jonsa meta” "ActuallyJonsa” “Sansa x Jon” “Jon x Sansa” “Jonsa” and “Jonsa quote”. So I ASSUMED it was made by a Jonsa fan. Dunno where on earth I may have got that idea from, hmm, I wonder????

The post in question was pointing out “book evidence” for Jonsa - namely the whole Stone & Snow, Sansa bastard in the Eyrie thing.

2) ...Which is why I made this post:

Not particularly insulting. Not flattering, but not insulting. Why did I make this post? OF COURSE I know I’m not going to convince the Jonsas they’re wrong. I don’t really care. Season 8 is coming. I’ll let the show do all the arguing to them for me.

HOWEVER, I have people who follow me who aren’t as familiar with the material and always like reassurance that these Jonsa arguments are bogus. And many others just enjoy seeing me take apart Jonsa posts and call out everything wrong with them and their arguments.

It’s one of the foundations of this blog and it’s one of the reasons why I have as many followers as I do. 

I don’t do it because I feel “threatened” by Jonsa. I don’t do it because they “make me mad”. I don’t do it to try to convince the Jonsas they’re wrong. I do it because it’s what people WANT to read!

3) So when I got this ask...:

...it was immediately after my Sansa/Jon/bastard post. So I guessed that it was about that. I honestly don’t know what else this ask could have been about because looking back at my main blog, I haven’t talked about Jonsa in weeks.

4) I never said it was the ASKER’S Jonsa logic. I just said “Idiotic Jonsa Logic”. Because I didn’t know FOR SURE if the asker was a Jonsa or just a pressed general GOT fan who got irritated that I took apart that Jonsa argument.

5) Then when you sent me this ask, you wrote “MY Jonsa logic” yet went on to claim you’re NOT a Jonsa shipper!

SO WHAT IS THE TRUTH?

Were you the original poster of that Jonsa post about “Stone and Snow”? Or someone else?

6) Moving on however, to wrap up this whole dramatic display, note, as you can see in the screenshot above, I DIDN’T TAG JONSA. I NEVER TAG JONSA.

There are a few Jonsas who enjoy the engagement and they don’t block the “anti Jonsa” tag specifically so they can find posts like mine and argue with me. I do the same thing - though instead of reblog that other person’s “Snow and Stone” post, to not fill up their notifications and not knowing if they were a person who liked argument, I paid them the courtesy of making my own post instead, in case they weren’t one of those people. Which again, wasn’t particularly rude or insulting. It was just pointing out a MAJOR flaw in that way of thinking - play acting vs. actually living through a social disability.

Those in the Jonsa fandom who don’t like the argument or don’t like seeing my posts typically know to block the “anti Jonsa” tag.

I’m not going to go through the hassle of typing it J0nsa or J*nsa or J-nsa just so it won’t show up in the Jonsa general search. If I did that, those who’ve blocked “anti Jonsa” still might see my posts and really, with the ways Tumblr has designed the search, I shouldn’t have to.

I don’t go on posts tagged “anti Daenerys” and whine and complain to them because they didn’t type it “D@nerys” or “Da3nerys” simply because I was too lazy to search properly and type “#Daenerys”.

The only Jonsas who see my posts are the ones who actively go out of their way to see them - either by not blocking the “anti Jonsa” tag - which is what I tagged that original post under - or by just coming onto my blog and scrolling through it’s content. 

So don’t come at me with “since Jonsas don’t tag you in their posts trying to get ur response” as if I do this to them. Because I don’t.

You don’t like my content, DON’T FOLLOW. Block the “Anti Jonsa” tag if you don’t want to see me talking about Jonsa. Those who’ve followed me the majority of the year since I made this blog KNOW I do the occasional post about Jonsa and how their arguments don’t make sense. I don’t see anyone else complaining but you anon.

So how about you take your pressed little self for a walk and go whine to someone else because you clearly either didn’t know what you were getting yourself into or you’re so entitled you actually thought you could control what I do on MY blog...which you can’t, sorry to break it to you.

GOT Recap:  The Dragon and the Wolf

Airdate:  8/27/17 ; Season 7, Episode 7

Are you really gonna leave us like this, GOT…and for over a year, no less?!  Day-um, that’s cold.  The Game of Thrones writers have always known how to leave us wanting more with their season finale cliffhangers, and this year they’ve upped the ante - or should I say “auntie”? We got a superb episode with some fabulous twists, schemes galore, and a major game-changing ending.  Let’s all huddle in close for a finale recap of “The Dragon & the Wolf”:

The Lion’s Den

 It’s time for the great Westerosi Peace Summit in King’s Landing.  The formidable Unsullied army stands at the ready outside the city gates while the Lannister army is preparing to welcome their visitors from House Targaryen and House Stark…by stocking up on barrels of hot pitch and sharpening their swords.  Ya know, just in case talks don’t go so well. From a distance we hear the raucous battle cries of warriors and the Dothraki come galloping in to join Team Dany’s troops.

Tyrion Lannister and Jon Snow approach by ship and Jon wonders how many people inhabit King’s Landing – it's about 1 million. Jon remarks that’s more than all the Northern houses put together. There’s no sign of Dany, who has apparently made separate arrangements for her arrival at King’s Landing.  Perhaps that 1M population is about to take a sudden and significant downturn?

The Hound goes to check on a chest in one of the lower decks.  The box is completely silent – aw, man, did their snow zombie die in transit?   He gives the box a hefty kick and we hear some vicious snarling.  Whew!  

As Cersei Lannister readies herself to meet her guests, she reminds  Frankenmountain of some final instructions: If things go south and she gives the word, he is to kill Dany, Tyrion, and Jon – in that specific order before disposing of anybody else.  After that, it’s Greggy’s choice.  Ya know, it’s really important to give your employees a sense of independence when working for you, and Cersei is clearly nailing it in the morale department.

 Tyrion and Jon arrive ashore and are greeted by Bronn, who is quite the welcoming host.  He lets them know their pals have already arrived and steps aside, gesturing to Brienne of Tarth and Podrick – it’s a short and sweet reunion for Tyrion and his former squire.  As Bronn escorts the party to the Dragon Arena, he shares a few bro words with Tyrion.

 Meanwhile, Brienne and the Hound come face to face and it’s slightly awkward.  Brienne justifies why she fought him in the Eyrie (and nearly killed him) - she was only trying to honor her oath to protect Arya.  The Hound says that was his intention as well, and suddenly the two are gushing nonstop about how proud they are of the little killing machine Arya has become.  “Aw, shucks, our homicidal baby has really come into her own!” #MentorAChild

 As they all arrive in the arena, Tyrion gives a brief history on dragon-keeping, noting that back in the days of the Targaryen dynasty, dragons were too much of a liability to roam free, so the arena was built to house them.  Living in captivity for generations caused the majestic creatures to languish until eventually they only ever grew to be as big as dogs.  

Team Dany and Jon take their seats – I must’ve missed the part where Theon was invited to the party, 'cause he’s there, too.  Great. Just what we need, more Greyjoys. Speaking of, Euron Greyjoy is in attendance, throwing crazy eyes at anybody who looks his way.

Queen Cersei arrives with her entourage of Qyburn, Jaime and the Mountain and everybody looks like they are standing on a live wire.  Dany is still nowhere to be found as they wait, uncomfortably.  

The Hound looks his brother square in the eye, tells him he's super fugly now, and then dashes all fans’ hopes for Cleganebowl – the ultimate Clegane showdown – when he says something cryptic along the lines of “Don’t worry, bro, we’re not gonna fight.  We both already know how you’re really gonna die.” What does it MEAN?  The Hound stalks away and vanishes into the lower level of the arena.

Finally there is a loud dragon cry and Queen Dany comes soaring in on Drogon.  This gal certainly likes to make an entrance. You’d think it would get old seeing Danaerys ride in on her dragon every episode, but it’s actually totes sweet and mucho impressive.  She lands while Cersei glares contemptfully:  “She’s got a kick-ass dragon, a huge army, AND she’s gorgeous?!  Next you’ll tell me that she also likes to sleep with her family members!” Ugh, Cersei just hates prettier, awesomer versions of herself. Dany for her part is all “Oh heeeey! I woke up like this.  So…did I miss anything important?”

Getting right down to business:  Euron starts things off with some petty baiting of Theon and tells him that he’s going to kill Theon’s sis, Yara.  When Tyrion interrupts him to address more important matters, Euron continues to be the boisterous a-hole he is, until Cersei tells him to STFU.

Jon takes the floor and tells Cersei about all the crappiness going on up North with Whitewalkers, the Night King and his Army of Dead.  He informs her they are all in for the fight of their lives…even...for life itself.  

 But since seeing is believing, a wight demonstration is the best thing to convince Queen Cersei.  The Hound comes back from the basement, hoisting the enormous crate on his back and sets it in the middle of the arena and ever so carefully…he opens the lid.  Nothing. Nothing at all happens.  “Oh maaaaaaan!  I swear, it was doing this weird snarling, screeching thing the WHOLE time at home!”  A smug sneer passes over Cersei’s face.  The Hound kicks the crate over.  Like a bat out of hell, the snow zombie pops out, snarling and snapping, and runs full-speed straight at Cersei whose expression turns to horror.  Just as the Frankenmountain steps forward to protect his queen, the snow zombie stops short – it’s chained to the crate and has reached the end of its tether.  The Hound chops off its arm and Qyburn’s face lights up with curiosity as the disembodied hand continues to move.  Ooooh, imagine all the amazing lab tests he could do!  I’ll bet if he tried hard enough he could give Jaime Lannister a hand transplant with this new scientific discovery!  Next, Jon introduces the only methods they know to kill the zombie: fire and dragon glass.

Euron asks if the creatures can go through water. Jon says no and Euron goes “I’ve seen some crazy shiz-nit out at sea, but this is the one thing that terrifies me.  I’m out!  Namaste, mofos! Have fun fighting the zombies!” He hauls butt out of the arena to wait things out on the Iron Isles.

Cersei speaks up. Yeah, Euron’s a coward, but pretty much rightfully, so.  That demo was seriously creepy, but it’s made a believer out of her. She says she is ready to have her forces step down and she’ll agree to a truce until the Night King and his army are defeated – on once condition:  Jon and the North must submit to Cersei as their queen.   Dany gives Jon a subtle nod, and then Jon completely craps the bed and goes “Nah, see…I can’t do that ‘cause I already have a queen.”   Cersei replies, “Ok, cool.  Well, then you losers are on your own – we’ll take our chances and see what happens after the North gets hit.  See ya!”  And she saunters out with her posse.  Tyrion nad Dany are both like “Ugh, you BLEW it!” Jeez Louise, Jon!!!  Dany already likes you, Bro, you don’t have to impress her anymore.  Learn to lie to your enemies already!   But Jon’s got ideals to a fault, y’all.  And isn’t that why we love him?

Brienne briefly takes Jaime aside and goes “Dude, seriously, you have to change her mind.”  Cersei sees the exchange and shoots daggers at Brienne with her eyes.

 Tyrion decides he’s the only one who can talk any sense into Cersei.  He grabs his balls and heads to the Red Keep for a one-on-one with his dear sis.  As he is escorted to Cersei’s office, Frankenmountain looms behind him and I just keep expecting to see his head suddenly lobbed off, but surprisingly, this doesn’t happen. When Tyrion arrives outside Cersei’s door, Jaime is standing outside and goes “Yeeee-ah, she just threw me out.  So, good luck with that.”

 Once inside Cersei’s chambers, she shows her usual disdain for Tyrion and tells him that Myrcella and Tommen are dead, indirectly because of him – because by killing their father, it screwed them all over.  Tyrion is all “OMG, I can’t take your whining anymore about how much you hate me!  If you wanna kill me, just do it and get it over with, but you know I loved those two kids.”  He pours himself a glass of wine and then pours one for Cersei.  She just slightly smirks and doesn’t take the glass.  Holy hell, is there poison in the wine??? IS THERE??? Nope, that’s just my GOT PTSD acting up again.  

 Cersei tells Tyrion how she was freaked out by the nasty zombie demo earlier, but that it didn’t make her want to save humanity…just herself and her family, and it suddenly dawns on Tyrion that she’s preggers.

 Time out!  Cersei is sleeping with her twin brother, but she’s worried that WINE is the thing that might mess up her growing baby?  Ok.  Cool, just wanted to be sure we were all on the same page.  Back to the action.

At the arena, Jon and Dany are kicking up dust and Dany’s all “Soooo, how much do you like me? Do you totally wanna make a gazillion babies with me, because even though we haven’t even been on a single date, I want to keep telling you that there is no way, literally NO WAY I can have kids.  Like, I’m saying the Wall would have to crumble down before this could ever happen.” Instead of running for the hills Jon’s all “Oh yeah, says who?” - “Just some witch who killed the last dude that I truly loved.”  

Their chat is cut short as Tyrion returns and a few seconds later, Cersei re-enters the arena with her crew.  She tells them she’s in.  Her men won’t stand down, rather, they will join Dany and Jon in their fight against the Night King.   “P.S. Try to remember this moment when we all defeat the White Walkers and you want to come back and de-throne me.”  Um, sorry, Cersei, you don’t get some special trophy for doing the right thing, which is also incidentally what’s in your best interest.  But, ok, I’m gonna give her minor props for finally being reasonable and getting on board to join forces against their common enemy.

 All About Baelish

 At Winterfell, Littlefinger meets with Sansa, who is thoroughly freaked out by her last meeting with Arya.  Littlefinger settles into a chair and begins his latest lesson in Paranoia 101: “Ya know, there’s this little game I like to play when I can’t figure out somebody’s motives.  I assume the worst and then ask myself how likely that assumption is.” And we wonder why nobody ever asks Littlefinger to join in any reindeer games.  He walks Sansa through his little hypothetical exercise, and by the end he’s got Sansa considering the worst case scenario wherein Arya wants to turn all the Northern lords against her, kill her for betraying her family, and become the new Lady of Winterfell.  At this point, I just wanna yell at the screen “OMG, can you not see he is playing you, Sansa? We all know that Arya DGAF about being the lady of anything, much less Winterfell!” Where the heck is Bran with his voyeur abilities to step in already?  

Come Sail Away

 Back at Dragonstone, Dany et al have returned from their King’s Landing visit and they gather in the war room to discuss next steps.  They plan to head to Winterfell, and Jon will take a ship to White Harbor and then take the King’s Road to get home.  “Cool, sounds fun! Count me in!”, chirps Dany.  Poor Ser Jorah is like “Khaleesi, why would you wanna be in close quarters with a strapping young  hero like Jon, when you could just fly Drogon there?  It’s safer, it’s quicker, there are no hunky distractions, and – oh heck, for the love of everything that is holy would you please just LOVE MEEEEEEE!!!!!” “Nah, I’m going on the boat. Thanks for your counsel. Now which of these nightgowns looks hotter?  Asking for a friend.”

As Jon walks through the throne room at Dragonstone, Theon gives him the old “I have extremely low self-esteem” spiel that’s we’ve become so familiar with. “You’re so much better than me, I’m garbage, please forgive me for all the crap I’ve pulled with your family. Ya know, Yara was the only one who ever stood up for me when Ramsay kept me as his punching bag prisoner.” “Hey, dude, I can’t absolve you for all the awful things you’ve done, but for the stuff that I can…I forgive you.  We’re semi-cool.  Stop wasting time and go save your sister.”

Theon heads to shore where the Good Grejoy team members are readying a boat and he tells them they have to go save Yara from the Bad Greyjoys.  The leader of the bunch tells him she’s as good as dead and there’s no way they are going to take on Crazy Euron. Theon goes for classic prison yard strategy and starts a fight with the biggest, baddest guy of the bunch.  He gets the stuffing beat out of him…until the man unknowingly activates Theon’s superpower by kicking Theon in the crotch.  This somehow gives Theon the edge to fight back and kill the dude.  That’s right, in order to grow a set of metaphorical balls, one must first be kicked where actual balls used to be.  It’s basic anatomy, folks.  All the other men cheer for Theon and are now on board to save Yara. Oh, Iron Islanders, your loyalties are so fickle!

Heaven Help The Mister

 Back at Winterfell, Sansa orders her guards to find Arya and bring her to the Great Hall.  When Arya walks in, the room is lined with the Knights of the Vale and Sansa and Bran sit at the big table.  Arya sizes up the room as Littlefinger smirks from the sidelines. “You sure you wanna do this, sis?” Sansa looks at her little sister, stone-faced and begins, “You’re accused of murder and treason.  How do you answer…Lord Baelish?” Ooooh, snap!  The look on Littlefinger’s face is priceless as he stammers “Wait, what?” Sansa rattles off a list of offenses, including Littlefinger’s hand in killing John Aryn, Lyssa Aryn, and the betrayal of Ned Stark.  Littlefinger objects “You can’t prove that! Nobody saw anything that happened!” and all eyes in the room turn to Bran.  LOL! Sansa hands down his death sentence, and Littlefinger grovels and begs for his life like the rat that he is.  Arya unsheaths the catspaw dagger and in one fell swoop, expertly cuts his throat open.  WOOT! The Stark siblings were in on the ruse all along!  Whew, what a relief, and also, how cathartic to see Littlefinger finally get his due after all his cons and schemes!  

 At the Red Keep, Jaime is strategizing with some soldiers on their plans to head North to fight the Night King.  Cersei interrupts and asks for a word alone. “What are you doing, bro?”  Jaime’s slightly confused. “Um…I’m getting ready to deploy the troops. Obviously.” Cersei smiles and goes “Yeah, that’s not happening. I lied.  We’re getting mercenaries from Braavos and are going to take over Westeros while those idiots fight the Army of Dead.  And if they defeat the Army of Dead, cool – we’ll have fewer Targaryens and Starks to kill.  BTW Euron didn’t flee to the Iron Islands – he’s going to pick up our hired guns as we speak.”  Jaime is dumbstruck and goes “Not cool.  I made an oath and I’m keeping it.” Cersei threatens to have Frankenmountain kill Jaime if he walks away from her, but he calls her bluff and leaves, unharmed. …And somewhere out there, even though Brienne doesn’t know why, her heart skips a beat. I mean.  I’m just guessing.

We see Jaime on horseback just outside of King’s Landing and snow begins to fall.  

An Inconvenient Truth

 Meanwhile, Samwell, Gilly, and Little Sam have made it to Winterfell and Sam pays Bran a visit in his room.  Bran sits fireside in his usual dream-like, emotionless state and tells Sam he remembers when Sam helped him and his pals after they crossed North of the wall.  Then he tells Sam how he’s the three-eyed raven and how he really needs to tell Jon who his real parents are: Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen.  Oh, and his name should really be Jon Sand, because that’s what they call bastards in Dorne.  “Hold up! I don’t have time to give credit to my girlfriend for this discovery, but actually…Jon is legit!  I read it in a book by the dude who annulled Rhaegar’s first marriage and secretly married Lyanna and Rhaegar!”  Oh come on, Bran!  You really didn’t know that?  You made all these discoveries about Jon, but never bothered to get a tiny bit more back-story? Hold that thought! Bran does a quick warging fact-check of Samwell’s info and jumps back in time to a sweet private wedding ceremony with Lyanna and Rhaegar happily reciting their vows and kissing.  

 Bran remarks that Robert’s Rebellion was based on a lie.  His aunt was never abducted or raped by Rhaegar – they were in love and she ran off with him, willingly.  There is another cut to young Ned Stark when he finds Lyanna after childbirth and she tells him Jon’s real name:  Aegon Targaryen.

As Bran speaks over the action, we cut to the Love Boat that is sailing North with Jon and Dany.  Jon walks the corridor to Dany’s room and gives a knock on the door.  She opens and invites him in. As Jon enters her room, we see a figure down the hall – it’s Tyrion, watching gravely. “Ugh, I told her not to mix business with pleasure.”  What follows is a steamy love scene that makes me wanna vomit everywhere, because as everybody just seems to dismiss: Dany is Jon’s auntie, and even if they don’t know that yet, it’s still nass-to-tha-tay.

 Back at Winterfell, Sansa and Arya have a sweet bonding moment as they watch the snow fall harder outside.  

Bran wargs again, checking on things up North and what he sees ain’t good.  Dondarrion and Tormund are in one of the Eastwatch towers, when they look below and notice the Army of Dead have arrived at the Wall.  We see a handful of Whitewalkers leading the charge on horseback.  From the snowy cloudcover above emerges Viserion, now a zombie ice dragon – with the Night King riding on his back.  Oh, no.  Tormund yells for his men to evacuate the wall and they all rush down the ladders as Viserion blows out a stream of blue flames and begins to burn a hole into the side of the wall.  Chunks of the wall begin to break and soon enough, all of Eastwatch crumbles down.  Viserion continues to melt the ice and snow until a ginormous opening  paves the way for the Army of Dead to march right through the wall.  They slowly advance Southward as the camera zooms out.  Roll credits.

 Wow, what an episode and what an ending! How do you bounce back from that?  I know the characters have been saying this pretty much the last few episodes but…they are seriously screwed.  Fo’ realz.  Will the North just be obliterated?  Did Tormund and Dondarrion survive (we all want to see Tormund and Brienne make babies!) – heck, did anybody survive?  At least Bran saw it all and can sound the alarms immediately, but man, they are gonna have to act fast.

 So happy that Jaime finally distanced himself from his toxic sis.  Now he can warn the others of her plans – but how can they fight an enemy from the North and the South at the same time?  One thing’s for sure: We’re gonna have more Brienne and Jaime scenes in our future!  Huzzah!

 Once Jon and Dany realize they are related, I hope they’ll quit having relations.  That said, I’ve got a strong feeling that their one night of passion is going to result in a baby.  Maybe all Dany needed was another Targaryen to knock her up – after all, the Targaryen’s are all about keeping their bloodlines pure.  Hopefully, with this revelation, Dany won’t feel too threatened about who should be on the throne.  And we’re all fairly certain that Jon is going to get to ride Rhaegal, right?  #surething

 Considering that we’ve got until 2019 before we get any new Game of Thrones, I’m sure there will be oodles of fan theories to ponder.  I’m hoping for some kind of dragon sex-change so they can make more baby dragons.  Hey, it happened in Jurassic Park!  Will we have two pregnant queens waging war against each other?  Is Cersei even really pregnant, of was she lying to manipulate Jaime? Will Bran warg into Viserion or the Night King and end everything? Aaaaack, so many options!  It’s time to wrap this up, so hold tight until the new season begins, my dears, and take comfort knowing that the new episodes are all supposed to be like 80+ minutes each, so we will really be getting little mini-movies each episode…and isn’t that worth the wait?
