i feel like i don't talk enough about just how much i love house t/yrell in that. they're the epitome of don't hate the player, hate the game. they're so understated in their treachery and their schemes to some of the other major houses, yet they're consistent – just as you can always expect a s/tark to do the honourable thing, a t/yrell will always do what they think is best for their house. they're really only loyal to themselves, yet are consistently perceived (by the audience and the small folk and a good portion of the characters in-universe) as being decent.

from the start of the targ reign, house t/yrell was founded on the principles of usurpation and waiting to see which side is winning before picking a side. they were uninvolved in the dance, and somehow got out of pretty unscathed. at the start of bobby's rebellion, they're loyal to the targs, and yet are pretty unenthusiastic in supporting their rightful king. they lay siege to storm's end, make no attempt to storm the castle, and when bobby proves victorious they submit, having barely lost a man in the whole entire war. when bobby dies, they instantly plot with r/enly to steal the throne (before this, remember, they were plotting to have bobby set aside c/ersei and marry marg). nobody at this point knows that joff isn't the legit heir, so they were totally for treason just to advance their own house. r/enly dies and instead of following his bannerman to s/tannis' side, the tyrells just plan to fuck off back home.

but then! marg is betrothed to joff! and so the l/annisters and t/yrells together can crush s/tannis. and everybody forgets that the t/yrells (in a way) created the very crisis that led to joff being betrothed to marg. because their pr team is that good. so now they're on top with a daughter as queen and a son in the kingsguard. two goddamn minutes later, they're plotting to kill the king. sure he's an abusive sadist who's more than likely going to abuse the shit out of marg, but she's also definitely going to be more capable of manipulating a boy king like t/ommen, so it's a win win situation. they literally commit regicide and get away with it. they even try to steal s/ansa away and marry her to a son of m/ace's, which would give them a claim to the north. bitches r ambitious and smart ok

they are continuously grabbing at power and switching allegiances and fucking over houses left right and centre and they just! they kinda get away with it! every time! they're parasites who attach themselves to whoever can give them the most power. they are gentler than the l/annisters, but as lady o/akheart says, that's the same as saying they're dryer than the sea - doesn't mean much. to me, i think it's hilarious that they kinda represent just desserts for the l/annisters, and especially c/ersei, because anyone can do what she did, marry and murder. it happening to her is something she just hadn't foreseen idk

We were talking consistently for a few weeks but two days ago, she started to become a little distant. I assumed it was because she was mad at her mom for not letting her go out with me that day. Then on Wednesday she seems really uninterested and distant so I tried to be even more energetic to her texts. Later that night I asked her if we were meeting up the next day since she told me she was free on Thursday after not being able to meet up on Tuesday. She responds by saying something alone the lines of “I don’t want to see anyone for a bit because I had an incident at work” . Turns out she was sexually harassed and I told her that I would be there for her if she needed someone to talk to. She gave an unenthusiastic response so I decided to give her some time and space. But the thing is idk if this is her real “excuse” because she was already acting a little distant before the incident happened. As for now, I’m just letting her be since I assumed that’s what she wanted. But she is still very socially active and talks with other people just not me. So this leads me to either believe she is simply not interested in me anymore, or testing me. I think it’s more of the first choice so idk how to proceed from here. I just hope that it isn’t what I think is going to happen but there’s nothing that I could’ve done after telling her that I’m here for her. Side note: I feel as though she is subtweeting me on twitter and Instagram but I’m not trying to look that deep into it. If anyone knows what I should or point out any mistakes I made, it’d be appreciated via /r/dating_advice
