#f&c didnt give golbetty any worthwhile characterization#but i think theres lots of fun directions to go with her#and we should always consider the possibility that shes super super evil#she was already very fucked up and pretty evil. she could be super duper fucked up & evil. if we beleive in her :]#i cant beelive i drew art of golbetty with bill b4 golbetty with discord from the horse show. sorry.#comparing her to discord has a lot more basis in canon - oopsie !#my art#fan art#gravity falls#bill cipher#adventure time#golbetty#golb#betty grof#ive been seeing sm about the book of bill & i rlly wanna read it#so thats why i drew these. thinking abt billed cipher#1k#yay!!

Snow, snow, snow, snow
Well, it is February 22nd and it is snowing here on Vancouver Island. I have been catching up on my reading list with a lap blanket and a cup of tea. Love my tea. I have recently been reading quite a few paranormal cozy books. Have also been reading some Joy Fielding, Dean Koontz, and Tricia O’Malley. If you are a Kindle Unlimited member and are getting snowed in like I am today, give one of my…

#haino#cytham#alhaitham really said if its about cyno im in#his commitment to putting on horse blinders any time cyno is mentioned in passing is commendable#they should give him another raise#loved hearing about the late nights in the secret records room playing jump rope with cynos patience#very happy to have predicted haithams singular fixation on the temple of silence#the spirit in cynos ear whispering if you dont kill him i will#haitham peeking over his book like is he looking at me is he thinking about me

hiii, could you elaborate on jaime's relationship with tywin in the books? and how tywin's introduction in the show diverges from that? 🥺👉👈
lol because that scene never happens in the books?
because nothing like it really happens in the books?
lmao, because, the first time we see any real sign of tywin and jaime’s relationship it’s tywin saying ‘tyrion, why do you suck while jaime is a god?’
it’s such a disservice to tyrion and cersei to pretend that jaime doesn’t have tywin’s approval, or perhaps even admiration.
unlike that weird season 1 deer scene, in the books tywin doesn’t blame jaime for being in the kingsguard. that’s aerys’s fault as far as tywin knows. after all, if tywin himself couldn’t prevent it, how could jaime? (sure we know better, but tywin doesn’t.)
and do you think tywin isn’t proud of jaime for killing aerys? do you think tywin wasn’t thinking ‘that’s my boy’ after the sack of king’s landing? that shit was right in tywin’s wheelhouse.
and then there’s the one interaction we see between jaime and tywin. jaime walks in knowing what he’s facing with twyin vs tyrion. that’s because jaime has always had tywin’s number in a way cersei and tyrion never did. why? because jaime has seen what tywin is capable of and he doesn’t like it. jaime quite literally takes tyrion’s kidnapping in agot into his own hands because he doesn’t trust tywin to look out for tyrion. as he’s on his way back to king’s landing in asos he thinks about just what he’s actually worth to his father and how much that calculation has taken a hit now that he’s short a hand.
so when tywin asks jaime to give up the kingsguard, does jaime hang his head and scuff his toe like his show counterpart? lmao. this is the difference in privilege between jaime and his siblings. jaime immediately says: noooo. and means it. not only means it, but from that moment starts plotting against tywin and cersei to save tyrion.
we see this reinforced when cersei begs jaime to save her from tywin’s machinations to marry her off again and he’s like, lol, tell that bitch no. to jaime it’s a very simple, very accomplishable thing if you don’t give a shit about tywin’s disapproval.
because jaime’s been walking away from tywin since he was a kid.
the only moment jaime even wavers in that interaction with his dad is when tywin disowns him. lol and that is not about approval. it’s because all jaime wants in the world is love, and up to this point love was a thing that existed exclusively in the realm of his family.
and lest there be any doubt, i ask you, who breaks first? the last real thing jaime hears from his father is a message sent through kevan. a peace offering, in the form of oathkeeper. here it is, son, the valyrian steel i’ve been trying to reclaim for the fam for years. it’s yours. you’re my boy.
and what does jaime do with tywin’s sword? lmao. i ask you. what does jaime do with tywin’s sword?
see, book!jaime’s story with tywin is not about tywin’s disapproval of jaime. it’s about jaime’s disapproval of tywin. it’s embedded in his chapters. it’s embedded in his character. everything about jaime’s latent lust for honor is a repudiation of twyin’s ethos.
he disapproves of tywin’s use of gregor clegane and amory lorch. he disapproves of tywin’s orders to kill aegon and rhaenys. any lack of understanding of tywin’s nature is destroyed by the tysha incident, which appalls jaime.
he isn’t looking for tywin’s approval. all he ever wanted was tywin’s love.
all of this is reinforced in feast. it’s everywhere in jaime’s vigil for tywin as he tries to do his duty but can’t cough up a single tear and even chucks the appearance of grief out the window when his living breathing son, who he definitely feels late breaking affection for, needs him. it’s when he looks around the realm and goes oh shit, this would have been tywin’s problem but now it’s mine and uses tywin’s reputation to accomplish his goals without actually employing tywin’s monstrous ruthlessness.
but mostly we know the whole show concept that jaime’s just always been trying to earn tywin’s approval is bullshit as far as book!jaime is concerned, because we’ve read jaime’s chapters and we know the truth.
it’s joanna’s disapproval that literally haunts jaime. not tywin’s.
#jaime lannister#asoiaf#cannot believe i'm tagging this because i know this will bring the disk horse to my door#but this is what i'm doing with my election day anxiety#your jaime priors are show based#which is fine if you're talking about the show#but if you want to talk about book!jaime#why not actually talk about book!jaime#also my original comment about this was about an r/asoiaf comment#for the anon who thinks it was about them#anon#chicky gets anons

been rewatching S4 and thinking about the fact when River was probably at his most terrified, trying to figure out why someone was trying to kill his grandfather and how to protect him, the logical conclusion he came to was Standish. Standish is safe. he can go to France and not be preoccupied with how his ailing grandfather is faring because Catherine Standish is looking after him.
and then I start thinking how proud Standish must have felt when River turned up at her door with the most important person in his life and said "please look after him". Catherine Standish, who for so long was seen as a risk because of her addiction - someone unreliable and not to be trusted, trusted with someone that precious. no wonder she took it so seriously when Lamb turned up on her doorstep. "River asked me to look after him", and by god was she going to
#i just love their weird little family so much#catherine standish#river cartwright#david cartwright#slow horses#i havent read the books yet but by god im gonna. just as soon as i can buy shit again#look also im not thinking about her subsequently losing him frankly i dont blame her#he's a slippery old bastard

as a side note did anyone else feel constantly cheated as a kid bc a book would have an animal on the cover but then instead of being the animal’s POV (cool, interesting) it was some fuckass kid who befriended the animal (lame). i haaaated this so much as a kid it wasn’t even funny but now it looks like Logical that the main character would be a human kid LOL
#my grandmother gave me a whole set of the black stallion books and tried to get me to read them#and i didn’t like them bc they were about the kid who had the horses and not just the horses being horses…….#rambles

List of some movies that I enjoy and the books they’re based on which often have different vibes than the movie but both are equally good in different ways
Howl’s Moving Castle: The book is titled the same but has very different vibes (movie is more whimsical fantasy while book feels more like realistic fantasy if that makes sense) and also has two companion books in which Howl and Sophie make appearances! Book by Dianna Wynne Jones
Kiki’s Delivery Service: The book is titled the same but again very different vibes (Movie Kiki deals with depression and losing your passion and Book Kiki is cute little witch dealing with people’s problems in cute little witch ways) Book by Eiko Kadono
Stardust: Book titled the same but different vibes (movie is intense and life threatening adventures, book is more fun travel adventures and much slower paced) Book by Neil Gaiman
The Secret of Moonacre: The book is titled The Little White Horse (similar to Stardust the book is a lot slower paced and less life threatening adventures but just as fun and interesting as well as a lot of characters have more depth to them than in the movie) Book by Elizabeth Goudge
The Last Unicorn: Book has same name (from what I remember the book is almost word for word exactly like the movie) Book by Peter S Beagle
Ella Enchanted: Book has the same name (ok this one is a little more controversial. In my opinion the book has a lot more depth and is a lot more interesting in the world building and characters, and the movie is a horrible adaptation. But if you look at the movie as a completely separate thing it is still enjoyable and has fun songs and is a classic from my childhood) Book by Gail Carson Levine
Mary and the Witch’s Flower: The book is titled The Little Broomstick (I have yet to read it but I have just checked it out so I will make sure to update this once I’ve read it! I expect the book will probably have better world building as the movie was fun but didn’t have time to go into depth and the mechanics of the witch’s world) Book by Mary Stewart
Earwig and the Witch: Book titled the same (I also have yet to read this book but have just checked it out and will update later. I think it’ll probably be similar to what I expect with the Little Broomstick where it will probably show a more developed world) Book by Dianna Wynne Jones
Ronja the Robber’s Daughter: Technically not a movie but a tv series. Book has the same name (I also haven’t read it but have just checked it out and will update but I think the show was very well done story wise though the animation wasn’t my favorite and I expect that it probably followed the book fairly closely) Book by Astrid Lindgren
Avalon High: Book has same name and similar plot but characters are switched around (this is actually one where I like the movie a lot better. I feel like the book is extremely predictable and does exactly what you expect to happen while the movie switches it up in a fun way that I feel like also makes sense and isn’t just doing it for the shock factor) Book by Meg Cabot
Tales From Earthsea: One book from the Earthsea Cycle has the same name (I’ve only read the first two books and so technically haven’t gotten to the book that the movie has been adapted from but it’s on my list and I will update once I eventually get to it. So essentially I’ve read the prequels that lead up to the events in the movie and I’ve heard the movie is vaguely different but has similar themes and plot points to the book) Books by Ursula K Le Guin
That’s all I can think of for now but if you have any suggestions to add let me know and I’ll see if I’ve watched the movie and read the books and if so I’ll make an addition to this post!
#and don’t try to suggest HP I will not be talking about that cuz Rowling is scum#I also won’t be talking about Percy Jackson cuz so many people already talk about it and I enjoy it but this is for less well known books#books#howls moving castle#howls moving castle book#kiki's delivery service#stardust#the last unicorn#the earthsea cycle#Ella enchanted#earwig and the witch#ronja the robber’s daughter#the little broomstick#mary and the witch's flower#the secret of moonacre#the little white horse#Avalon high

not weird at all!
thank you so much!! genuinely!! i really love Radahn but its alot harder to think of something to do with him unfortunately, at least for me, and i rarely get the time to give him some love

#star wars#the original trilogy#boba fett#darth vader#hi. sorry for star war jumpscare. genuinely#i feel like ive kinda been on an art hiatus lately due to health stuff#i got diagnosed with a parathyroid disease recently (wahoo) so now i know why i have been feeling so bad! need more tests though#anyway. in the mean time most of the entertainment my brain can handle has been like. youtube clip compilations of shows and movies#not even the actual shows or movies. literally just sections of them on youtube#i wish i was joking#the only reason i know what happens in succession is because i have watched it in disjointed order in youtube compilations. not joking#anyway so ive learned a lot more about star wars than i ever. thought i would#mostly just the original trilogy and prequels. some of the old comics & books are interesting too#(sick to my stomach) i like darth vader he has like the same personality as ganondorf except he had no good reason for doing anything#when vader/anakin does literally anything weird or unacceptable it like. makes me laugh so hard its like jerma when he sees a car accident#boba fett’s costume design has been rotating in my head a lot too it’s very good#he’s very colorful and like. matte/unpolished compared to vader and it makes them a cool duo visually#those 2 are my favorites. vader why is the space cowboy the only person aside from sidious or tarkin who is allowed to get mad at you#sidious is my 3rd favorite. he sucks so bad as like a person that you just. you have no expectations of him except just being evil#so its just really funny like everything he does is horrible and he’s so happy all the time like good for him#i’m making it sound like ive never seen star wars before. i have i just never really cared about it until i got an endocrine disorder lmao#but yeah idk art may continue to be slow while im figuring out treatment stuff#if anyone reading this also has or has had hyperparathyroidism im wishing the strength & radiance of 1000 beautiful horses upon you

The thing about The Traitor Baru Cormorant that makes me absolutely ill is that not once did Baru stop to think that overthrowing the masquerade was possible. Not once did she consider that if they had gotten this far, they could go further. Even as she made a puppet of every person she met, even as she raised all of Aurdwynn in rebellion, it did not occur to her that they could win. The schooling, the brainwashing- how many times did she catch herself thinking of herself, her own people as Unhygienic? The belief that the empire was inevitable and that the old, uncivilised ways were not enough to overthrow it surely originated in this schooling and brainwashing, in that small school on Taranoke. It was Cairdine Farrier’s greatest accomplishment to make Baru believe in this inevitability; after all, it made her the council’s greatest weapon. The fact that she was so smart, so powerful and smart, and never realised that she had slowly absorbed convictions that were not her own is excellent tragedy.
#the traitor baru cormorant#baru cormorant#tain hu#the itinerant and the apparitor led her right to rebellion like a horse to water and they knew she would not drink#unwell about this book actually#baru cormorant spoilers

I’m reading Dead Lions (the second slow horses book) and there’s a bit where River is with his grandfather and it mentions that he only ever drinks whiskey with his grandfather. And then I was thinking about that scene at the end of the season 4 finale and River is drinking whiskey with Lamb and Lamb being River’s father figure is so precious to me
#slow horses#river cartwright#jackson lamb#I’m so insane about them#the dynamics in this book (and series) mean everything to me
