Almost four decades of existence, and I finally feel a non-apologetic ownership of my body, even while acknowledging the ever-present gender dysphoria.
I wish everyone seeing this a very pleasant Body Image / Acceptance.
Songs Lucy dacus writes about men are like “yeah I dated this guy when I was 13 and he sucked what a fucking loser” and “I will jump out of this car and walk home 4 miles in the snow” but the songs she writes about women are like “hey, I will kill your dad if you want just give me the word” and “if you marry your dumbass boyfriend I’ll throw my shoe at you on your wedding day”
“Thankfully, most of the vending machines are intact and full, so we won’t be starving while Cherub’s leg heals. Thing has caught him trying to sneak out far too many times.”
My sister sent me this yesterday and I agreed with it and now today when I missed her cue to stop asking her something, she flashed her screen at me with this image on it 💀
so i just had the most giggle inducing thought about riding around in jason’s matte black dodge charger (yes that is the exact car he drives) in the middle of the night.
one thing leads to another and then suddenly hes pulled over in a deserted parking lot, munchin tf outta yo shit while listening to the internet. a heavenly experience, methinks.
Alicent going to where Viserys is laid before his funeral and having this moment where she realizes what his death means for her and her children is a punch in the gut. Yes, part of her is relieved that she is finally free of him, part of her feels pride in knowing that she persevered and played her role as a dutiful wife til the end, part of her can hardly believe that this day has come, while another part feels alone, helpless and unready to take on the lead and make decisions as a result of all these years of learning to rely on him and to please him without deciding for herself.
Most importantly, though, she dreads the instability that his death causes, and the danger it puts her children in. I wish Alicent could have voiced these concerns, but it's so powerful that she didn't really need to—her presence beside his corpse was enough to mark the end of an era, just as her marriage to Viserys had marked the end of another. Perhaps she is lamenting the years she spent tending to his every need, her many sacrifices, and what it took to “forever uphold the kingdom, the family, the law.” But she SURVIVED it all. Her service toward Viserys is over, and her service toward her children and herself now begins. Her statement is thus made—she has honored her duties, and it is with a clean conscience that she buries her past with Viserys and decides to move on, for her own sake and for that of her children this time. And I love her for it.
Great Frog is such an accurate indie band name. I feel like the writers were trying to come up with a really silly name and maybe it was actually ridiculous for the time but this could be the name of a local band from my midwestern hometown 100%
ik we’re all entitled to our own opinions, but ngl some of y’all are making me feel like a wanted criminal for liking Cracker Island, Song Machine & Humanz :/
