A Fortpeat Gifset | Like Father, Like Son

Fort: [Aggressively Bites] [Aggressively Sulks]

There is just no way this kid isn't part dog. Did you see the stubborn way his son Tangsan bit into that toy and refused to let go?? Hmm remind us of anyone we know?

Okay but,

Sokka looking just like their mom - while not being able to remember what she looks like

And Katara looking just like Hakoda - while she resented him for leaving them behind???

Impeccable.

Yeah, Jon's plain looks and overall countenance (bless him, I do love it) is why they're so desperate that Jon comes back a completely changed, violent, possessive man with white hair and red eyes, because it's the only way Dany will be interested in him. This came up in the new Jon video by Alt Shift X btw. I find it so incredibly silly.

I do think Jon will be changed in personality, and that's where Sansa figures in as significant-- it would be ironic if the sister he was the least close to is what makes him human again!-- but... losing Lyanna in his face? Isn't there the perfect set-up for him realising that his mother has been staring back at him in the mirror this whole time?

They really think his Stark side is just a sort of parking space where GRRM put him until he could (finally) upgrade to Targaryen, don't they?

The idea that Lyanna, who parallels Jon not just in her suffering (sexually coerced by a captor, freed by a wolf and bleeding out, dying at 16) but also in her heroics (facing off against three opponents to defend a weaker person, going 'undercover') is the less important parent compared to the prophecy-obsessed deadbeat? Ridiculous.

GRRM isn't playing "spot the hint!" with their shared looks in order to take them away before they were ever relevant. He didn't create Lyanna in order to make her a passively enthusiastic vessel for Rhaegar's prophecy boy. Lyanna is the point.

Jon is who he is because of Lyanna. The girl who begged for the life of a child she had no choice in having. He looks like her, acts like her, lives because she was a wolf and her brother loved her and the pack survives. His Targaryen side is not a fulfillment of purpose. I still predict GRRM will not make Jon a magical key to anything, specifically to defy Rhaegar's egocentric logic. Jon is no destined hero. He's a human person muddling through and making hard choices with personal integrity. Negotiating. Planning. And counting the damn beets so people can eat.

His Targaryen father is a(nother) challenge to Jon's sense of identity, a dark and painful one, that can only be overcome through love - for Lyanna the person, for his pack and by his pack for him. (And a special treat enabled only by not being Ned's son...)

It's like you said, she (and in consequence his own self-worth) has been staring at him in the mirror all this time. No shame, but love in spite of it all.

I saw something familiar when I looked at myself in the mirror.

See those cheeks and those slightly droopy jowls? My grandma had those. My mom had those. Nice Aunt had those. Mean Aunt, as much as she’d like to think she’s “above” her sisters somehow, has those.

And now that I’m getting older (42), I have those!

I look like the women on my mom’s side of the family. And I like that. I like looking like Grandma and Nice Aunt. I like looking like Mom, though it’s a reminder not to make Mom’s mistakes.

When I was little, I looked exactly like Dad and Twin Bro. Hearing “you look like your dad” made me feel like people were saying “you look like a boy,” and I never liked that.

Now I look enough like Twin Bro for people to know we’re related (and sometimes even guess twins), but I look like a woman because I have this older, but feminine, thing going on with my face.

For the first time since I got cancer and went on hormone blockers, I’m feeling gender euphoria.

Something in the yard has captured Mr the Mung Bean's attention.

What could it be?!!!

Nope, that's not the Wizzard. It's the Wizzard's dad!

The Wizzard had family come to town, his cousin and his dad stopped by to say "Howdy!"

So many red and white Handsome Boiz! No my Best Buddy, you are not being replaced, there is only ONE Wizzard!

I just saw a picture someone did (I couldn't find a credit anywhere) of Roger, Shanks, and Luffy when they each had the hat and they DREW ROGER WITH HIS EYES VISIBLE

HE LOOKS JUST LIKE HIS SON I'M GONNA CRY

I really appreciate how we can see aspects of all the females in the family in Kiara's design.

Has anyone else looked at a picture of Astrid of Sweden and thought it was Tatiana? 😅

"Good heavens!" I cried, in amazement.

Different person, same font (or something like that).

"Can't?" said Caspian sharply, looking for a moment not unlike his uncle Miraz.

I just got back from seeing my aunt after about five years, and I’m surprised how alike we are. We talked about Doctor Who, David Tennant, Glee, musical theatre, mythology, Percy Jackson, books, everything I enjoy - we even both love Phantom of the Opera. Around halfway through the conversation, I just suddenly thought to myself “Oh… so you’re where I get it all from” and I’m half-convinced that I just dined with my future self 😂.

as someone who just got into european family and their ancestors, honestly it's quite hard for me to differentiate george v and tsar nicholas ii. they are quite stand out when they are separated (from their mustache) but then there is a potrait of two similar king side by side... i wouldn't even try to guess who is who.

Hello! I understand completely! When I first got into European history I didn’t even know about Tsar Nicholas until a lot after George V so I got quite used to George’s face. The reason they look so alike is that their mothers were sisters and looked a lot alike. I will try to give you some tricks

in this photo Nicholas is on the left and George is on the right

How I personally tell them apart is that Nicholas has a more wider face and less defined eyes. George has more defined eyes and a thinner head.

also in this photo, Nicholas is on the left, and George is on the right

In this photo is a more specific way to tell them apart. If you look at Nicholas’s hairline, you can see that it is arched. If you look at George’s you can see that it is flat

Thank you for asking me this!! I really appreciate it and I hope this helps!!
