#Jaime what’s his name

[unsettlingconclusions]

Welp, they were realistic in the sense of the cis normative (white and used to having everything they want) man looking at a sinking ship of a relationship and deciding the best way of fixing that (and, of course, satisfying the patriarch of the family) is to bring a bundle of neverending trouble, a perpetual source of anxiety, the world’s most renowned cause of sleep deprivation into the equation!

And the foreshadowing of Jaime not doing the stitches because he couldn’t see well? Oh that man is definitely sick (edit: I mean gravely sick).

You know, it's been years now, and I still follow a few blogs that post for thr fandom... I need the last few remaining fans to know: anyone that popularized the last name "McClain" for Lance, I need you to jump into a boiling pool and you can never get out.

Maybe look up Cuban last names??? And don't use any of the first 10 results??? Do your fucking research??? Look up how Cuban last names work, maybe??? Don't just settle for the whitest last name to fucking exist, and call it a day????

It works similarly in mexico, First name, maybe middle name, sometimes third name if your parents are feeling a bit quirky, then Paternal lastname Maternal lastname. Maybe! Maybe he's mixed! A mexican parent and a Cuban parent! A Brazilian parent and a Cuban parent! Maybe!!! He's even part native! But I don't trust white fans with native characters. Learn to behave and maybe we'll trust you with native characters.

Just. Stop it with McClain.

IF YOU ARE WHITE, YOU CAN REBLOG BUT IF YOU TRY TO START SHIT I WILL BLOCK YOU!!!!!

IF you are latine, specifically Cuban, feel free to add your own thoughts on this matter

my mind has been developing this delusion world in which tywin lannister was the mad king’s sugar baby. aerys was “vain, proud, and changeable, traits that made him easy prey for flatterers and lickspittles” (awoiaf p.190). upon becoming king, he fired his father’s older and wiser hand and named tywin in his place, making tywin the youngest hand in the entire history of the seven kingdoms, but how did we get there?

there were childhood friends. tywin served as a page in court and we know from genna that tywin mistrusted laughter due to hearing too many people laughing at his father. at this point in time, the lannisters were a laughingstock or at least tywin wholeheartedly believed this, so the subsequent friendship he makes with the crown prince thrusts him upwards in status and into higher scrutiny. tywin is the elder, but aerys is the prince. they spend years together with the established dynamic of aerys being the one with power and tywin (albeit his friend) his servant. it is only when tywin dares to step outside this master/servant dynamic aerys has cooked up, that they begin to fall apart.

they go to war together. aerys chooses tywin, a newly made knight, to knight him. this was the war of the ninepenny kings, he could have chosen gerold hightower. he could have chosen roger reyne, or any number of distinguished knights and commanders, but no he chose tywin who had likely just been knighted himself. for added context, during this war tywin’s father stayed at home with his mistress rather than taking to the battlefield. nearly a year later, aerys is crowned and tywin is named hand of the king. as hand of the king, tywin is allowed any expense, any decision, literally allowed to do anything he wants at aerys’ leave (up until their toxic breakup era).

something that always fascinated me within this was why after gaining power of his own merit and name does he make his father’s mistress do a walk of atonement? at first, i believed this to be a way to embarrass his father further from the grave and cement his notoriety. however, right after he forces the walk of atonement, aerys and tywin rule the kingdom from casterly rock for a year (awoiaf p.194). if we believe that tywin has a subconscious or conscious shame in regards to using aerys’ fondness for him (whether you want to see it romantically or not) for seize of power and political gain, the walk of atonement is so interesting as it is a public self-flagellation of a transactional relationship that he himself mirrors. it is after this very act that aerys holds court (and tywin) at casterly rock, the scene of the crime in a sense. here tywin is, like his fathers mistresses in the same very home, flattering and bootlicking the same man for money, influence, and power. it is only after this year in casterly rock where tywin is forced to reconcile with these similarities that their relationship dissolves.

in conclusion, tywin was playing sugar baby to aerys and their relationship soured when tywin decided he wished for power that was truly his own rather than through aerys.

people are always discussing the lack of pronunciation guide in asoiaf and how you are supposed to say various valyrian names but i would like to also bring up the fact that the books and tv show have conspired to convince people to pronounce the name jaime as "jamie" instead of "hi-may" which is something that i have always found strange

oh yeah saw blue beetle last night and one million thumbs up. going into having heard it’s very tokusatsu and comic booky made it one million times better. goofy and stupid in fun ways. i’m so glad we’ve looped back around to comic book movies being like comic books: confusing chronologically and catered to fans willing to put up with wildly specific nonsense. also heck of a great job making a movie about gentrification and colonization out of the chaos of blue beetle lore and corporate blandification i genuinely had fun

So in the Hero’s Journey there are two moments of Death and Rebirth: the Ordeal and the Resurrection

And I was freakin DELIGHTED to see that Blue Beetle (2023) included LITERAL death and rebirth during the Ordeal and METAPHORICAL death and rebirth during the Resurrection

Explanation in the tags to avoid spoilers but this movie was freakin great, very Hero’s Journey indeed

I’m an idiot, so we’re skipping over why, but I do find it funny I find a lot of anti-BulePulse shippers complaining that it isn’t comic canon compliant, but then ship Bart with Eduardo and Jaime with Brenda or Paco. I get not liking a ship, but don’t be hypocritical with your reasoning.

help me name the jaime i created who is featured in most of my blue beetle posts and also stars in my fanfiction known as social butterfly available on ao3

What happens in soccer when the referee gives you a red card? Can the player pull out the uno reverse card? Are there any rules dealing with this situation?

thanks for eliciting a chuckle out of me in these dark times anon😭😭😭😭

the red card is the highest distinction a player can get during a game of FOOTBALL. it is similar to what the americans call a purple heart i believe. it means the player slayed so much that he actually has to be eliminated from the field in order to keep the game fair otherwise he would transcend to a higher level of consciousness and overpower everyone else in a mighty display of terror and violence.

for this reason he is not even allowed to go back to the bench. he has to move his still-earthly body immediately back to the changing rooms and wait out the rest of the game there. scientists believe that by isolating him from the roar of the crowds he will become grounded again, re-tether himself to his human form and prevent ,,, The Ascent
