not to be that person but idk why everyone keeps behaving like sansa surviving KL and LF means she's smarter than every other stark like only court intrigues and politics require you to be smart?? and surviving amongst the smallfolk and assassins and night's watch and beyond the wall is all about brawn and physical strength??? that's so... classist lmfao, like surviving without revealing you're a highborn in a warzone, not starving to death, not being killed by soldiers/assassins/whatnot requires as much brains as surviving court politics. jon had to deal with politics at the NW and with Stannis. admittedly bran's story was doesn't at all in the show but he's about the only one who manages to explore his warging abilities fully it's not a piece of cake?? and arya had to escape KL, survive flea bottom, then harrenhal (under ROOSE BOLTON FFS) and the bwb and the red wedding AND get to braavos and survive the faceless men whoch is supposedly the leading assassin organization in asoiaf.
i'm not even getting into everything dany's done and survived lol. but okay samsa is the only genius in westeros, we know she is because tyrion says so i guess? not to mention show sansa's political "mentors" are possible the WORST examples of rulers we have - cersei and littlefinger. they didn't give 2 shits about ruling or the smallfolk or leadership, just about their own power. and i'd say that's important given how much time grrm spends showing us how the smallfolk suffer because of the games played by kings and queens.
this... actually requires a bit of going into it but like not counting that show sansa was a travesty and I'm choosing to not acknowledge it, and show lf was... I mean I'm not even going into how much it was a disservice to the og char whom I detest but honestly book!lf wouldn't marry sansa to anyone he didn't do research about lmfao but like not going into... those... plot holes.....
the entire point is that in the book sansa ends up under those two's tutelage anyway and... she's posed to do the contrary? what does she think looking at c.? that when she's queen she wants to be loved not feared, and like... being with lf is testing her morals but it's obvious that since she survived staying kind until now (I mean... again it's her leitmotiv she helped lancel & about everyone she could who was a jerk to her to the point it sent at least lancel into a faith crisis, she felt bad for joffrey like FOR FUCKING JOFFREY COME ON that's her selling point HER FUCKING SELLING POINT) then she'll just... gain enough political knowledge to outsmart people when she wants to but she won't use it to be a jerk she'll use it.. to.. help her family... when they're reunited which is p obvious to me but nvm
the thing is that people have decided to attach it to the underdog female character goes up the power ladder trope which.... like that's not it
also there's the part where like people are so caught up in the whole WHO HAS IT WORSE BETWEEN SANSA AND ARYA WHO IS THE BEST feud that... they don't notice that they have specular ways of dealing with trauma like arya is dealing with having to lose her identity/risking not knowing who she is anymore and she has to deal with increasing violence/ptsd-related trauma bc she's throw in the middle of everything bad she could end up in like she was almost in the red wedding I was 90% sure she also died until I saw she had a chapter after, while sansa has managed to dodge courtly poisons by being herself and by not letting it change who she is which tyrion noticed which everyone noticed which is why guess what tyrion is willing to stand up to his father and tell him no when it comes to actually having sex with her when he couldn't for the marriage and she's the only person that managed to get past sandor's trauma issues enough that he tried to actually help her for what he could, like... arya has de-personalization to overcome, sansa is holding to her guns by staying herself and she has to learn what good she can from lf before ditching him and keeping on staying herself like it's fucking specular it's not supposed to be a game of who has it worse
(wish ppl would get it also with jaime and tyrion and their coping with trauma but nvm)
the fact that ppl downplay that jon isn't politically an idiot at all irks me forever but like... bruh the dude handled being lord commander, an entire siege when he was like seventeen and was hobbling around on crutches, managed to infiltrate the wildlings without anyone finding out (and it traumatized the shit out of him but nvm) and if only he was good at PR he wouldn't have gotten juliuscaesared, like... okay X°DDD
I mean... yes it's classist but that's a dead horse to beat, if people actually took that angle into account they wouldn't write off brienne or davos chapters as BORING if only bc they're the only ones where you see how not-nobles are doing as in badly X°D
anyway like all stark kids have enough smarts to survive their storylines and robb had to be taken out with a betrayal so he wasn't being that stupid either differently from what my villain origin story thinks but again as someone said once if you hate a stark kid to prop up your fave your fave most likely would hate you so that's my stance X°D
but like... the point is that sansa was shown to gaf about others/the smallfolk/people lower than her in the food chain which dnd/half of this fandom didn't get which is why she'll be an excellent regent for bran and I'm dying on that hill but again this entire thing where you have to pit your fave against everyone else to show how much more badass/smarter they are is imvho a useless exercise because then I'll cut the gordian knot and say that if gilly managed to survive at least seventeen years with her father in that context knowing that her mother was also her sister and that she'd get the same treatment and if she had male children they'd get put out in the open and killed and then was forced to swap her own baby for another without knowing if that baby was going to die or not and she still had it in herself to not turn into a complete asshole she wins for toughest survivor in westeros at least out of the girls unless we want jeynep to give her a run for her money because like... going from lf to ramsay and not as a protegé and considering she was afraid ramsay was going to sic dogs on her when they saved her I think we can maybe ger some perspective here X°DDDD
(I'm not even going into the guys because honestly there's an amount of trauma that's not quantifiable in there X°DD)
like...... again everyone has it bad in these books and propping up your fave making the others look bad makes no sense bc if you love your fave then you have reasons to and you don't need to compare them to others to make them look as good as you think they are and that's my hill to die on X°D

Game of Thrones Season 7 Episode 6 Recap Pt. 3
WARNINGS:SPOILERS; not a D@€n€r¥$ fan; Jonsa shipper ( I still believe)
————-
6.- Back on Eastwatch, we have this morons trying to not freeze, too late for Thoros tho, I mean dude was a walking corpse since the Hound had his fire vision, he was completely obtuse for the plot so they got rid of him. I feel nothing. Guess his conversation with Jorah (that I totally skipped cuz boring) was heartwarmming but still I knew he was dead as soon as the bear got him. They burn his body with his own alcohol.
7.- An invitation arrives for Sansa to go to KL, amd she is like LMAO I think no you trick ass bitch, my girl is not an idiot and there is no way in hell she’ll go, if Cersei wants to make her prisioner again she can damn well bring her ass to the North and try, and she sends Brienne in her stead, Brienne doesn’t want to leave her on her own with LF, Sansa has to snap and her and basically throw her on the street to get her to go (god Jon is gonna have a hissy fit when he sees Brienne at KL and knows Sansa is alone at WF with LF) very wise decision knowing LF wanted to get Brienne tagled up on his schemes.
8.- In Dragonstone Tyrion is trying to stop D from going to the rescue cuz he doesn’t want her to die even tho he is fine with the man that volunteered for this stupid ass mission that was his idea dying (consistent characterization where art thou?) but she goes anyway cuz #YOLO
Also this unsubtle shift to white clothes now that she is gonna do an heroic thing, she honestly looks kinda like Elsa from Frozen, where does she get this clothes anyway, did she brought a new wardrobe from Essos? Are the Dothraki sewing and knitting clothes??
Where are the Unsullied and the Greyjoys????
7.- Yeah so they just kinda waiting around for their Uber, but the Hound is taking none of this boring but safe bull, let’s throw rocks at the wights for funnsies. So he does and the wights get angry? Annoyed? Who knows really? And they begin to close in our heroes.
Jon thinks they’re doomed without D’s help but Beric points put that not really (Beric and his sexy ass voice are winning me over)“as long as they kill the Night King everyone else is gonna be detroyed (this sounds waaaaaay to convinient, almost as if d&d want to get rid of the WW as fast as possible so they can focus on the political/human problems) but Jon is not so optimist. So yeah we get some fighting in, and things are beginning to look real bad for the Wight Hunters when boom Khaliisi comes in rising and burning wights (and ice) as she goes! They are saved OMG what a relief! (excuse my sarcastic ass) everyone is getting on the Dragon choo choo, except Jon (guess we’re saving the dragon riding for laters) who keeps on fighting.
Now I guess this is relevant, he thought they were doomed until D arrives, she is burning her way through th wights like you couldn’t believe and Jon is visibly relieved, he is getting the hope that maybe they can win this war, he is clearly trying to fight his way to the NK, I thought he wanted to end it right there, go for the NK and be done with it that is why he refuses to go.
Now his hopes get dashed away when NK throws at spear at Viserion and kills him, now I’m really worried, did I broke something inside me? Why is it that I don’t care? Oh right we never got a scene with Viserion alone, if he had bonded with Jon last episode instead of Drogon (Jon still thought this giant lizards ugly af tho) then Hey maybe I could have cared, but this feels like super dramatic and emotionally manipulative from the writers tbh. I feel the whole purpose of killing him off was to have "Cool Ice Dragon” and for some rushed J/D moment (I have a lot to say about it) D is stunned by grief I guess? Jon gets angry but I don’t think it’s cuz he cared about the dragon or for D, i mean of course he must have felt sympathy for her she stated that she loved them just last episode, but i think his rage comes from the frustration of knowing he can’t end this right now, he can’t prevent more people from dying and now with a dragon in the army of the dead…
So yeah Jon tells them to go away cuz the crazy ass bitch wants to die I guess, and he doesn’t want anymore Dragons joining the wights.
The lake gives away, but Jon comes out of the water freezing to death, the Wights surround him but he is too weak to fight, when BAM! Magical convinient Uncle Ben saves him, Jon is clearly surprised and emotional at seeing the uncle he loved so much and thought to be dead (dammit those Starks are hard to kill) but Benjen is having none of that cuz he has to be a martyr saving your ass Jon! So he gives his stupid ass nephew his horse, Jon gallops away while seeing his uncle dying (OK my emotions are back, I love uncle Ben even if D&D made him this protagonist characters convinient saviour).
8.- Back at Eastwatch, you know the actual castle, D is waiting for Jon looking hopefully at the horizon, while Jorah is trying to save her the heartache (I mean if this had any realism anymore Jon would be totes dead) but here he comes riding and all that jazz.
Before we dive into that scene (you know which) I’d like to stablish some thoughts:
-I believe D’s feelings for Jon are real, but they are not based in real things. First let’s ask ourselves why is she even in love (if we can call it that at this point) with him? She is clearly attracted yes, but Love is different than lust, so yeah he is a great guy I guess? But she hasn’t really seen him at that, everything she knows about him is based on the stuff Tyrion knows about him: his brothers are dead, as well as his father,he was at the Wall, he has a wolf?? I dunno if Tyrion mentioned that cuz the only one who remembers Ghost exists is Sansa, and the mystery about the dagger to the heart. And that’s where I think this fixiation comes from, this man could be her equal he is not afraid of her and stands his ground (on her POV) and maybe he is as magical as she is, Drogon let the man pet him!!!
But what she sees vs what actually is, shows she doesn’t know this man at all, what’s more Jon doesn’t want her to know him.
-She talks to him about her brothers when she is telling him the names of her Dragons, perfect oportunity for Jon to talk about Robb,Rickon and Bran(Jon thought he was dead as well) but doesn’t.
-She is talking about Ned on her big speech on their meeting, yet Jon his biggest admirer didn’t jump to defend his beloved father??
-When she is talking about her Dragons he could have very well mentioned Ghost yet he didn’t
-Davos jumped to defend him, and was telling D all Jon went through but Jon stopped him, she asked directly about the dagger to the heart and he said nothing.
-She was happy for him when he finds out his siblings aren’t dead, but Jon doesn’t show any emotion about it.
-As a matter of fact he never símiles or seems at ease in her presence. Fuck it even jondry has more build up in their two episodes together. Jon smiled at Gendry and talks with him about Ned. (not to mention Sansa, she makes him smile like no other.
It all feels almost like he has no goddamned interest in getting to know her (she is always the one to share this information without him asking) as a person, he doesn’t want her to know him. Why???
Reminds me about this quote:
“When you are attracted to people, it’s because of the details. Their kindness. Their eyes. The fact that they can get you to laugh when you need it the most.”
- Jodi Picoult, Sing You Home
Jon has never laughed or smiled near D, and that's the most telling stuff about this whole romance debacle in my humble opinion.
9.- Boat time! so Jon is just waking up (I knew my son didn't decided for himself to ditch WF and go to KL instead) and D is there (no I was just joking about the Twil1ght and 50s0g last week stop staring at people while they are asleep and shirtless is creepy) Honestly her eyes when she saw the scars on his chest made me uncomfortable (I could practically see her delusions about how magical Jon is and barfed, cuz yeah Jon is pretty magical, but the amazing thing about him is that he wants none of that he doesn't want t be a hero or a god, hells he didn't even wanted to be King!!) Anyway Jon's eyes focus on her and the first thing that comes out of his mouth is that he is sorry about Viserion?For real? Uncle Ben died to save you and you care about this? Of course not! Have some faith in Jon ffs! Goddamn it he got killed by the NW when he rushed from his office cuz Uncle Ben had returned!!! He loved uncle Ben, why would he care about Viserion?? He does not! This is another 'they are gorgeous beasts" he is bullshiting her so hard it's obvious.
She thinks he is her equal and defy her and all that jazz, but in all their interactions (except that time he said I am King to get away from DS) he caters to her, he is never sincere with her, for he has learned she doesn't listen.
She says she'll fight the WW and about how the dragon are the only children she'll ever have, doesn't mention a thing about kneeling everything seems almost too perfect, so why would Jon bullshit her?? Maybe I am just a salty shipper, but point is I don't think Jon trusts D a lot, oh yes he talked about trust when he wanted to get away from DS, and he did show trust going to meet her without weapons or a proper guard, but I stand by what I said last week she betrayed that trust the moment she called him a rebell and took his boat making him prisioner in all but name, not to mentionhe saw in frist row how she blamed Tyrion(her hand) for things going wrong and he doesn't have the luxury of having her turn on him, she is alright now but if another Dragon or one of her friends died what then? She could just go back to Essos, he can't afford that.
So he calls her Dany, and she laughs (bitch me too the fuck) but he doesn't smile at all, and he takes her hand, this gave me serious flashbacks of the Jonsa scene Back on S6 when Sansa takes his hand, or the scene from 7x01 when she takes his arm and he looks down, just his time positions are reverted, Jon is the one touching D (this gesture he has come to learn is very effective to have someone listen to you) and D looks down on their joined hands but Jon doesn't, he looks almost pained and guilty (he is an awful liar) Jon goes as far as to call her my Queen and saying he would bend. Seriously y'all think he was being sincere, why would he go from calling her stranger just last episode to being all Dany my Queen with no development in between the very next? No this doesn't make sense at all.
Why do you all think all this random ass conversations about Honor=Dead and "bending the knee is OK if you do it for your people's life" if not to foreshadow this? Jon himself said he went on the mission for the North, why would he seriously ditch his family and people for someone he just met? You can scream he is attracted to her all you want, I personaly don't see it, but it's a disservice to Jon to think he could mean any of this, he is not above using sex and romantic feelings (Ygritte) to do his duty, even if he developed feelings in the last situation he choose his duty and he will again because he loves Winterfell and he loves the Stark shipping aside. It would be ridiculous to have Lord Glover talking about foreing whores, Sansa warning about to be smarter than Robb and Ned, Tormund going on and on about Mance's pride, Jorah and Jon's conversations about Jeor and Ned and Beric talk about how thrones and Queens don't matter if Jon is suddenly gonna forsake it all in the name of a love we have no proof but Tyrion's and D&D's words (that we shouldn't trust cuz it's not likely they would give away such a twist) that it exists at all.
D eats it all up (I kinda feel bad for her, almost, only if she weren't such an entitled brat) and she tells him to rest. Jon clases his eyes and as soon as she is out he stares at the ceiling and sighs, again not subtle at all.
Anyway that is just what I think.
10.- The wights are getting Viserion out of the lake with some big ass chains, where do they even get this stuff? Hardhome? The had this big ass chains? A convinient again. Anyway so Viserion's out and his eyes open, and they are blue. Real talk the NK has had more bonding with him in this 2 min than D in all the seasons.
--------------
That's all I hope the finale is a bit better cuz this episode was hella boring.

Straightjacket Feeling - Pearlet [Chapter 2]
This is something I wrote AGES and AGES ago. First few chapters set in college but its NOT a college AU I swear! Kinda based on ‘Do I Wanna Know’ by the Artic Monkeys, lyrics throughout fic. Shorter chapter.
Chapter 2
Over the next week Jason was bombarded by texts and calls from Matt. He ignored them all.
Saturday
From Handsome Matt:
10.37am
Jason I don't know what you think is going on but I wasn't messing with you I swear. I just wanted to get to know you that's all
3.46pm
Jason please, at least meet me so we can talk?
11.20pm
Seriously, why would you think I would want to mess with you? Jeez anyone would think you didn't want a friend.
Sunday
From Handsome Matt:
1.25pm
Jason this is fucking dumb, please reply
11.49pm
Urghhhhh yo startin to get annoyin nw...stupid doesn't wnt tlk 2me
Clearly he was drunk.
It was now Friday again and the texts had started thinning out but they hadn't stopped. The last one had come ten minutes ago and all it said was 'fine, have it your way. I give up. And you say I'm an asshole.'
Jason turned his phone off after that. Why was Matt so determined to fuck with him? Surely there were plenty of other dumb freshman he could mess with, why couldn't he leave Jason alone? Bri was out, he'd been invited to another party with Brian and no doubt Matt was there too. Jason sighed and slid his headphones on his ears before curling up in bed. He felt like such an idiot. At least he'd figured out Matt's game before it was too late and he made a complete fool out of him. He wasn't going to let that happen. Not again.
-----------------------------------------
Matt sipped his drink and scanned the room again. He didn't know why he thought Jason might be here. Jake was off hooking up already as usual and Brian and new Bri, Jason's roommate were chatting aimlessly away next to him about drag queens. Matt wasn't really listening, he kept scoping the crowd for one face in particular.
He didn't know what it was about Jason, but there was something alright. Matt had noticed Jason on his first day on campus, and pretty much every day since. There was something so magnetic about him and that both excited and scared Matt. Because Matt had never found another man magnetic before. He'd never spent this much time thinking about another man. So why Jason? What was so special about this guy that had Matt hooked since the first day? He'd never tell anyone this but last week when Jason had 'accidentally' tripped over Matt's legs, it hadn't been such an accident. Matt had seen him coming, he'd seen a chance to finally talk to him. So, just as Jason had gotten near, clearly not looking where he was going, Matt had stretched his legs out into Jason's path and deliberately tripped the younger boy over. He still didn't know why he'd done it. He didn't like thinking too much about the why.
Brian left to get him and Bri another drink and Matt couldn't help himself but ask.
'Is Jason coming?'
Bri shrugged.
'Doubt it, he hates these parties.'
'Did he say anything about the last one?'
'Nah, we don't really talk that much.' Bri shrugged again. Just then Brian re-joined them.
'Hey there's some guys passing out a joint down the hall, wanna join?' He directed the question at both of them. Bri's face lit up.
'Well durh!' Bri chuckled.
'Matt?' Brian asked him but to his surprise Matt shook his head.
'Nah I think I'm gonna bounce.'
'Seriously? It's not even eleven and you haven't hooked up yet.' Brian laughed.
'Yeah I'm just tired. I'll catch you later yeah?' Matt downed his drink and patted his friend on the back. Brian frowned watching him leave but he shook it off and let him go.
-----------------------------------------
Matt marched through the dorm on the other side of campus until he came to the room he was looking for. He banged on the door loudly, from what he'd seen of Jason around campus he was always wearing his headphones so he wanted to make sure he would hear him. He continued banging on the door for several long minutes until he heard a grumpy voice on the other side.
'Fuck sake Brian I am going to surgically attach your key to your hand in your goddam sleep. I'm getting sick of-' Jason stopped his rant as he opened the door to see Matt standing there. Jason immediately blushed, he was only wearing his boxers and a baggy tank top that was so old and worn it hung so low you could almost see his nipples. 'Matt what the hell?' He groaned. He'd done a really good job at avoiding him so far. He should have known the asshole wouldn't give up this easily. 'I told you Matt I do not want to be a pawn in your sick games ok? Please find someone else.'
Matt pushed passed Jason into the room and slammed the door shut behind him.
'Look just fucking listen would you?' Matt raised his voice a little. 'I am not trying to fuck with you Jason! I want to be your friend goddamn it! Why are you making this so hard?'
'Because no one ever wants to just be friends with me ok Matt? You could be friends with anyone. You're cool and funny and attractive and popular. Why me? Why me?'
Matt's facial expression softened as he stepped a little closer to Jason.
'You think I'm attractive?'
Jason rolled his eyes.
'Way to focus on the point.' The younger boy sighed.
'I just don't understand why you find it so hard to believe I want to be friends with you.' Matt scratched the back of his head. Jason ran his fingers through his messy hair, trying so hard to ignore how uncomfortable and exposed he felt in what he was wearing.
'Because,' he sighed. 'It wouldn't be the first time someone had pretended to be my friend only to fuck me over.' His eyes conveyed his sadness and Matt saw it.
'What happened?'
'Doesn't matter.' Jason turned his back on Matt.
'Jason, please.' Matt cautiously put his hand on Jason's shoulder. He felt the younger boy stiffen a little at his touch. When he turned back to look at Matt, Matt saw the tears behind his eyes.
'When I was in high school, there was this super popular guy called Boomer. He was so gorgeous but I didn't think he even knew I existed. Then one day he asks me if I want to hang out and I couldn't believe my luck. We spent loads of time together outside of school, I was actually really starting to fall for him and I thought he felt the same. He asked me to a school dance, he told me he wanted to be with me and that he wanted to make it public that night. He told me to meet him in one of the class rooms before the dance started so I did. When I got there, the class room was dark and Boomer pushes me into the wall and tells me to take my clothes my off. So I did, because I was a sucker for him, I would have done anything he asked me too. And then...then...' Jason choked a little so he paused for a second to compose himself. Matt was hanging off his every word. 'Then suddenly the lights go on and I'm stood there in my boxers and all of his friends are there laughing at me and taking pictures. It was so humiliating. I threw my clothes back on and ran from the room crying. The next day the pictures were all over school. I never lived it down, everyone called me a faggot and would say things like as if Boomer Banks would ever be interested in you. I never told my parents because I was too embarrassed so I had to stay at that school for the next two years and every day was the fucking same. So that's why I don't trust you Matt. I don't trust that anyone cool or popular would ever want to be friends with me because I know what can happen ok?' He was a little breathless when he finished his story, but thankfully he'd managed to keep his tears at bay. Matt looked shocked. He bit his lip.
'Jason, I'm sorry that's so terrible.' He frowned sadly. 'I swear to you that's not what this about though, I just wanted to be your friend.'
'Why though? Why me?' Jason sighed heavily, running his fingers through his hair. Matt liked the way it looked when he did that a little too much.
'Because I know what it's like to be lonely and to have no friends. I saw you and I felt bad for you, because I know that feeling.'
'As if.' Jason scoffed. 'Like you know what it's like. I bet you were Mr Popularity in high school too.'
'Actually I wasn't.' Matt shook his head. 'Back in high school I wore glasses and I had acne and braces. And I was about 50lbs heavier.'
'No way.' Jason scoffed again.
'Way.' Matt told him. 'Nobody ever gave me the time of day, I was bullied every single day of my high school life and when it was finally over I decided I couldn't do it anymore. Before I started college I went on this big health kick, started working out, I got contacts and the braces came off. I got this amazing cream for my acne and when I started college I was determined not to be that kid anymore. I forced myself to be more confident and put myself out there because I wasn't going back to my high school days. I guess when I saw you, you reminded me so much of high school me. I mean you're much better looking than I was but you were clearly shy and awkward and I figured everyone deserves a friend. I swear to you I was just trying to be nice.' Matt confessed to him, the first time he'd ever confessed that. Jason tried to ignore the fact Matt had said he was good looking, in a roundabout way he'd said it anyway and it made Jason's stomach flip. He didn't focus on than though.
'Do you have pictures?' Jason raised a challenging eyebrow at Matt who chuckled a little. He pulled his phone from his pocket.
'I swear to god if you tell anyone about this...' he opened up his photos and scrolled right to the top before finding the one he was looking for. He took a deep breath before turning the screen to face Jason. Staring back at Jason was a much heavier kid who vaguely resembled Matt. If it hadn't been for those eyes, almost hidden by milk bottle glasses, Jason wouldn't have believed it was him.
'Oh my god.' Jason gasped.
'See I told you. Do you believe me now that all I wanted was to be your friend?'
'Hmmm maybe.' Jason raised his eyebrow again. Matt sighed.
'I'll tell you what, I'm going to send you this photo, and if I mess you around you can show anyone you like, ok?' Matt tapped a few buttons and then Jason heard his phone beep. He smiled a little.
'Ok.'
'Great.' Matt smiled and he flopped to Jason's bed and turned his laptop screen to face him. 'What you watching?'
'Drag Race.' Jason blushed as he sat down next to Matt.
'Cool! Hit play then.' Matt kicked his shoes off and pulled his legs up, resting his chin on his knees.
'I'm half way through a season.'
'You'll have to catch me up then.' Matt got himself comfy leaning back on Jason's pillows. Jason bit his lip and leant next to him, pulling that laptop onto his lap still feeling self-conscious about his lack of clothing. He hit the space bar and the screen sprung to life just as Trixie Mattel was hitting the main stage.
'That's the one from your shirt right?' Matt asked.
'Yeah that's Trixie.' Another queen strutted out on the main stage. 'That's Violet, she's incredible.'
'I can see why you like her, damn she's working it!' Matt snapped his fingers. Jason frowned to himself. Maybe Matt wasn't as straight as he made out. 'Oh wow who's that?' His eyes widened as another queen made her way out.
'That's Pearl.'
'She's hot as fuck! Holy shit that's a man?' He turned to Jason in confusion and his expression made Jason laugh.
'Yah huh, they all are, that's kind of the point of the show.'
'Well damn, if I didn't know any better I would totally hit on her.' Matt laughed, snuggling further back into the pillows. Ok, maybe he was straight after all. Jason was so confused. They watched a few more episodes together and both of them slowly started to drift off.
-----------------------------------------
They were woken a few hours later when Bri practically fell through the door and onto the floor. He stood back up and saw Jason asleep with his head on Matt's chest and Matt resting his chin on Jason's head. They both looked so content. Bri thought it was sweet but he was drunk so he decided to wake them.
'Funny, this doesn't look like your dorm Matt.' He shouted loudly and the two boys woke with a start, Jason's laptop almost falling to the floor.
'What the fuck?' Jason groaned. 'What time is it?'
'Like 8am or something.' Bri shrugged already getting undressed and into bed.
'8am?' Jason groaned, how had that happened?
'So judging by the fact you're just stumbling in, I guess you and Brian hooked up?' Matt smirked sitting up and putting his boots on. Bri grunted.
'I could ask you two the same thing.'
'We were just watching Drag Race you ass.' Jason rolled his eyes.
'Is that what the kids are calling it these days?' Bri snickered. 'In that case me and Brian were 'watching drag race' too.'
'Screw you.' Jason rolled his eyes again.
'I should go, Jake will probably be wondering where I am.' Matt ruffled his hair and yawned a little.
'Yeah sure.' Jason didn't want him to go but he wasn't going to say as much. He walked Matt to the door and when he opened it, Matt pulled him into the corridor.
'Thank you for last night, we should do it again sometime.' Matt placed his hand on Jason's shoulder. Jason nodded dumbly.
'Yeah sure.' He swallowed, feeling uncomfortable by the way Matt was looking at him.
'Please never ask me why I did this.' Matt whispered and Jason frowned.
'Did what?'
Matt replied by pushing Jason into the wall in the corridor and kissing him. It was just a brief kiss, nothing more. And then Matt pulled away and half-smiled.
'Matt what the hell?'
Matt put his finger to Jason's lips to silence him.
'I said don't ask.' He shrugged. 'See you around uhm Jason.' He turned and headed down the corridor. Jason watched him leave. He put his fingers to his own lips and stroked them dumbly. Had that really just happened? He felt like he must have imagined it, but his lips were still tingling. He watched until Matt disappeared and even when he was gone he continued to stand there for a while.
'See you around Matt.' He whispered before letting himself back in his room, his head hazy and his heart ablaze.

Straightjacket Feeling - Pearlet Chp.2 (Scarlet)
TW - brief mentions of homophobia and drug use and a little angst. Shorter chapter because it skips ahead in time after this and this seemed like the best place to end it.
Chapter 2
Over the next week Jason was bombarded by texts and calls from Matt. He ignored them all.
Saturday
From Handsome Matt:
10.37am
Jason I don’t know what you think is going on but I wasn’t messing with you I swear. I just wanted to get to know you that’s all
3.46pm
Jason please, at least meet me so we can talk?
11.20pm
Seriously, why would you think I would want to mess with you? Jeez anyone would think you didn’t want a friend.
Sunday
From Handsome Matt:
1.25pm
Jason this is fucking dumb, please reply
11.49pm
Urghhhhh yo startin to get annoyin nw…stupid doesn’t wnt tlk 2me
Clearly he was drunk.
It was now Friday again and the texts had started thinning out but they hadn’t stopped. The last one had come ten minutes ago and all it said was ‘fine, have it your way. I give up. And you say I’m an asshole.'
Jason turned his phone off after that. Why was Matt so determined to fuck with him? Surely there were plenty of other dumb freshman he could mess with, why couldn’t he leave Jason alone? Bri was out, he’d been invited to another party with Brian and no doubt Matt was there too. Jason sighed and slid his headphones on his ears before curling up in bed. He felt like such an idiot. At least he’d figured out Matt’s game before it was too late and he made a complete fool out of him. He wasn’t going to let that happen. Not again.
—————————————–
Matt sipped his drink and scanned the room again. He didn’t know why he thought Jason might be here. Jake was off hooking up already as usual and Brian and new Bri, Jason’s roommate were chatting aimlessly away next to him about drag queens. Matt wasn’t really listening, he kept scoping the crowd for one face in particular.
He didn’t know what it was about Jason, but there was something alright. Matt had noticed Jason on his first day on campus, and pretty much every day since. There was something so magnetic about him and that both excited and scared Matt. Because Matt had never found another man magnetic before. He’d never spent this much time thinking about another man. So why Jason? What was so special about this guy that had Matt hooked since the first day? He’d never tell anyone this but last week when Jason had 'accidentally’ tripped over Matt’s legs, it hadn’t been such an accident. Matt had seen him coming, he’d seen a chance to finally talk to him. So, just as Jason had gotten near, clearly not looking where he was going, Matt had stretched his legs out into Jason’s path and deliberately tripped the younger boy over. He still didn’t know why he’d done it. He didn’t like thinking too much about the why.
Brian left to get him and Bri another drink and Matt couldn’t help himself but ask.
'Is Jason coming?'
Bri shrugged.
'Doubt it, he hates these parties.’
'Did he say anything about the last one?'
'Nah, we don’t really talk that much.’ Bri shrugged again. Just then Brian re-joined them.
'Hey there’s some guys passing out a joint down the hall, wanna join?’ He directed the question at both of them. Bri’s face lit up.
'Well durh!’ Bri chuckled.
'Matt?’ Brian asked him but to his surprise Matt shook his head.
'Nah I think I’m gonna bounce.'
'Seriously? It’s not even eleven and you haven’t hooked up yet.’ Brian laughed.
'Yeah I’m just tired. I’ll catch you later yeah?’ Matt downed his drink and patted his friend on the back. Brian frowned watching him leave but he shook it off and let him go.
—————————————–
Matt marched through the dorm on the other side of campus until he came to the room he was looking for. He banged on the door loudly, from what he’d seen of Jason around campus he was always wearing his headphones so he wanted to make sure he would hear him. He continued banging on the door for several long minutes until he heard a grumpy voice on the other side.
'Fuck sake Brian I am going to surgically attach your key to your hand in your goddam sleep. I’m getting sick of-’ Jason stopped his rant as he opened the door to see Matt standing there. Jason immediately blushed, he was only wearing his boxers and a baggy tank top that was so old and worn it hung so low you could almost see his nipples. 'Matt what the hell?’ He groaned. He’d done a really good job at avoiding him so far. He should have known the asshole wouldn’t give up this easily. 'I told you Matt I do not want to be a pawn in your sick games ok? Please find someone else.’
Matt pushed passed Jason into the room and slammed the door shut behind him.
'Look just fucking listen would you?’ Matt raised his voice a little. 'I am not trying to fuck with you Jason! I want to be your friend goddamn it! Why are you making this so hard?’
'Because no one ever wants to just be friends with me ok Matt? You could be friends with anyone. You’re cool and funny and attractive and popular. Why me? Why me?'
Matt’s facial expression softened as he stepped a little closer to Jason.
'You think I’m attractive?'
Jason rolled his eyes.
'Way to focus on the point.’ The younger boy sighed.
'I just don’t understand why you find it so hard to believe I want to be friends with you.’ Matt scratched the back of his head. Jason ran his fingers through his messy hair, trying so hard to ignore how uncomfortable and exposed he felt in what he was wearing.
'Because,’ he sighed. 'It wouldn’t be the first time someone had pretended to be my friend only to fuck me over.’ His eyes conveyed his sadness and Matt saw it.
'What happened?’
'Doesn’t matter.’ Jason turned his back on Matt.
'Jason, please.’ Matt cautiously put his hand on Jason’s shoulder. He felt the younger boy stiffen a little at his touch. When he turned back to look at Matt, Matt saw the tears behind his eyes.
'When I was in high school, there was this super popular guy called Boomer. He was so gorgeous but I didn’t think he even knew I existed. Then one day he asks me if I want to hang out and I couldn’t believe my luck. We spent loads of time together outside of school, I was actually really starting to fall for him and I thought he felt the same. He asked me to a school dance, he told me he wanted to be with me and that he wanted to make it public that night. He told me to meet him in one of the class rooms before the dance started so I did. When I got there, the class room was dark and Boomer pushes me into the wall and tells me to take my clothes my off. So I did, because I was a sucker for him, I would have done anything he asked me too. And then…then…’ Jason choked a little so he paused for a second to compose himself. Matt was hanging off his every word. 'Then suddenly the lights go on and I’m stood there in my boxers and all of his friends are there laughing at me and taking pictures. It was so humiliating. I threw my clothes back on and ran from the room crying. The next day the pictures were all over school. I never lived it down, everyone called me a faggot and would say things like as if Boomer Banks would ever be interested in you. I never told my parents because I was too embarrassed so I had to stay at that school for the next two years and every day was the fucking same. So that’s why I don’t trust you Matt. I don’t trust that anyone cool or popular would ever want to be friends with me because I know what can happen ok?’ He was a little breathless when he finished his story, but thankfully he’d managed to keep his tears at bay. Matt looked shocked. He bit his lip.
'Jason, I’m sorry that’s so terrible.’ He frowned sadly. 'I swear to you that’s not what this about though, I just wanted to be your friend.'
'Why though? Why me?’ Jason sighed heavily, running his fingers through his hair. Matt liked the way it looked when he did that a little too much.
'Because I know what it’s like to be lonely and to have no friends. I saw you and I felt bad for you, because I know that feeling.'
'As if.’ Jason scoffed. 'Like you know what it’s like. I bet you were Mr Popularity in high school too.’
'Actually I wasn’t.’ Matt shook his head. 'Back in high school I wore glasses and I had acne and braces. And I was about 50lbs heavier.'
'No way.’ Jason scoffed again.
'Way.’ Matt told him. 'Nobody ever gave me the time of day, I was bullied every single day of my high school life and when it was finally over I decided I couldn’t do it anymore. Before I started college I went on this big health kick, started working out, I got contacts and the braces came off. I got this amazing cream for my acne and when I started college I was determined not to be that kid anymore. I forced myself to be more confident and put myself out there because I wasn’t going back to my high school days. I guess when I saw you, you reminded me so much of high school me. I mean you’re much better looking than I was but you were clearly shy and awkward and I figured everyone deserves a friend. I swear to you I was just trying to be nice.’ Matt confessed to him, the first time he’d ever confessed that. Jason tried to ignore the fact Matt had said he was good looking, in a roundabout way he’d said it anyway and it made Jason’s stomach flip. He didn’t focus on than though.
'Do you have pictures?’ Jason raised a challenging eyebrow at Matt who chuckled a little. He pulled his phone from his pocket.
'I swear to god if you tell anyone about this…’ he opened up his photos and scrolled right to the top before finding the one he was looking for. He took a deep breath before turning the screen to face Jason. Staring back at Jason was a much heavier kid who vaguely resembled Matt. If it hadn’t been for those eyes, almost hidden by milk bottle glasses, Jason wouldn’t have believed it was him.
'Oh my god.’ Jason gasped.
'See I told you. Do you believe me now that all I wanted was to be your friend?’
'Hmmm maybe.’ Jason raised his eyebrow again. Matt sighed.
'I’ll tell you what, I’m going to send you this photo, and if I mess you around you can show anyone you like, ok?’ Matt tapped a few buttons and then Jason heard his phone beep. He smiled a little.
'Ok.'
'Great.’ Matt smiled and he flopped to Jason’s bed and turned his laptop screen to face him. 'What you watching?'
'Drag Race.’ Jason blushed as he sat down next to Matt.
'Cool! Hit play then.’ Matt kicked his shoes off and pulled his legs up, resting his chin on his knees.
'I’m half way through a season.'
'You’ll have to catch me up then.’ Matt got himself comfy leaning back on Jason’s pillows. Jason bit his lip and leant next to him, pulling that laptop onto his lap still feeling self-conscious about his lack of clothing. He hit the space bar and the screen sprung to life just as Trixie Mattel was hitting the main stage.
'That’s the one from your shirt right?’ Matt asked.
'Yeah that’s Trixie.’ Another queen strutted out on the main stage. 'That’s Violet, she’s incredible.'
'I can see why you like her, damn she’s working it!’ Matt snapped his fingers. Jason frowned to himself. Maybe Matt wasn’t as straight as he made out. 'Oh wow who’s that?’ His eyes widened as another queen made her way out.
'That’s Pearl.’
'She’s hot as fuck! Holy shit that’s a man?’ He turned to Jason in confusion and his expression made Jason laugh.
'Yah huh, they all are, that’s kind of the point of the show.’
'Well damn, if I didn’t know any better I would totally hit on her.’ Matt laughed, snuggling further back into the pillows. Ok, maybe he was straight after all. Jason was so confused. They watched a few more episodes together and both of them slowly started to drift off.
—————————————–
They were woken a few hours later when Bri practically fell through the door and onto the floor. He stood back up and saw Jason asleep with his head on Matt’s chest and Matt resting his chin on Jason’s head. They both looked so content. Bri thought it was sweet but he was drunk so he decided to wake them.
'Funny, this doesn’t look like your dorm Matt.’ He shouted loudly and the two boys woke with a start, Jason’s laptop almost falling to the floor.

Awkward Situation
Fact about me: im an awkward gal. So here's some awk situations for the future me to look back and laugh. #1: I think this specific situations is very common. Haha. Anyways, it was early in the morning, walking to school. As usual im very groggy and basically im still half dead. So then i saw this girl, walking down the staircase, waving at me. Well at least i thot its me...well it aint me okay. So my idiot self waved back (ya knw that moment when u thot someone is being nice to you,,for once) she then started to make this weird ass face to me and then it finally hit me, it wasnt for me. I looked behind me and apparently, the guy she was waving at was laughing at me. You guys hav no idea how embarrassed i am, bcos she was standing at the foot of the staircase (probably waiting for that guy) and she is still staring at me like 'damn girl' and so i just looked down and began to make my way to school and jus tried my best to pretend that that did not jus happen so yeaahh. #2: Alrite so this happen to me bcos i hav a dumb brain. Anyway, i was having basketball training right, n thn i saw my crush. He was jus passing by and i took the chance to "impress" him. So, all of us gathered to play some friendly match and i decided to jus do a random stretch bcos ya gotta do watchu gotta do. I honestly dont knw y i even did that but yeah, out of the blue i jus started doing random stretches. Guess what? My coach saw me and was like "what are doing?" ya knw. And so i was like, "im jus doing some stretches" and at this point of time the coach got his (my crush) attention already and he was like "we did stretches already." idk i jus got so embarrassed and my crush was jus looking at his friend with that 'that-kid-is-dumb' face. So yeah, i mean hey, can't blame a girl for trying right? #3: Right this is def something i DO NOT wan to rmb but apparently it still haunt me,,for some reason. So it happen during math test. Unfortunately, half way through the test, my stomach began to growl unconsciously. I knew at that moment that i needed to go to the bathroom and that beef jerky is definitely aint edible. So, out of a sudden i farted. It was a loud one and everybody began to wonder whose it is. And ya knw i pretended to do the same thing, pretending i didnt fart. After arnd 5 min ltr, i raised my hand and my dumbass teacher (apparently shes new so shes stupid) jus looked at me like 'wat do u wan?' and i was like come here n shes still stubborn n jus shrugged her shoulder asking me wat i wan n im alr pissed at that point of time so i jus shout "yo i rly nid to shit rite nw so cn u like giv me the pass n let me shit happily" . Aft realising wat i jus said, lets jus say im no longer a human and im a human size tomato. No kidding i went hella red. #4: Time for some P.E. story. So on one lesson, we had to like compete ourselves with one another. And so i decided to go first and honestly, its been gg pretty well until we had to turn to come back to the starting line and unfortunately for me, my left leg jus kinda stop moving n i tripped myself. Lets say i put on quite a show. I fell not jus falling normally u knw,,i fell straight on my face n thn did a lil roll over and slide downward on my stomach. Everyone is laughing including the P.E. teacher. I was just laughing it off ya knw, pretending that im ok. But rly on the inside im crying my ass off ok it fucking hurt like no other. Oh ya side not; IM NOT FLEXIBLE THK U. #5: olrite last. I wanna save the best for last u knw. I was not in a good term with this guy so basically we kind of like enemy. We went on a class trip and basically i was one of the last few people so i really cnt see anyone infront of me. So idk that the guys was infront of me so when he sneezes, my kind hearted soul apparently jus wanna do this "BLESS YOU". Wen he turned back i was like "oo my bad wrong person" ofc i didnt actually said that to him. I jus went silent n ya knw wat, the next day he was like ,"i appreciate ur kindness but we are still enemy" n i was like "dood it was the wrong person" n i jus walk away like a bawse. Well this is the awkward situation that i cn rmb. Trust me there is so much moree to this. If u made it till the bottom, thk u so much for taking ur time to read my not-so-awk story.

Game of Thornes- Season 7 episode 2 Recap (Pt.2)
Warnings: Spooooooilers; not a D@nee fan my dude, no hate either just critizism; Jonsa shipper so most of the fandom thinks I’m delusional.
————-
6.- Dat raven from Oldwarts reaches WF (OK but like where is Edd’s raven about Bran???) and Jonny boy is in Brooding mode, he calls for the Lords to tell them the situation, they are not happy at all about being all buddy-buddy with a Targ (and rightfully so) but Jon has a good reasons for going himself (even if I don’t like it):
- He is KitN and unlike other rulers J0n has already proven (remember when he wanted to have a 1 on 1 fight with Ramsey so no one else would die??) he takes responsability over his people and if it’s a trap he’ll rather sacrifize himself than an innocent.
- He is the only one who saw and fought a WW and the only one who can explain how much of a threat they are.
-The raven asked specifically for his presence, and to be allies (they both seek that) there should be some amount of trust, he NEEDS their help after all.
Of course it’s not so simple, because D@nyy has Melissandre with her (you know the same J0n exiled) and she wants him to surrender the North to her (which wasn’t mentioned in the raven and OH!! That if we believe the leaks she is gonna send him on a pointless stupid hunt to prove he says the truth (so no trust on her part I see)
Also, Sansa speaks up to remind him about their grandfather and how he was invited and then killed by a Targ (very fair point) and of course she doesn’t want him to leave!!!
“You’re abandoning your people! you’re abandoning your home!”
Some fellow shippers (I’m not saying your feelings/thoughts aren’t valid guys you are allowed to have your own reading and I am in no way trying to impose my view) mentioned they were wating for her to include ‘you’re abandoning me!’ but she already did in adding home, what makes WF his home is not the fact that he was raised there but that his family is! So in a subtle way she did acuse him of abandoning her.
And can you all blame her??? Sansa already lost so much, and wheter you ship them or not, it’s clear she loves him and doesn’t wanna loose him.
Problem is Jon is the same, y'all remember he wanted to fuck off to Essos after being brought back?? He had nothing left to loose and no fucks to give anymore, Enters Sansa giving him a purpose to live and someone to give a fuck about so of course he is gonna do anything in his power to protect her and the home she fought so hard for!! He is once again gonna fight for her now on the political side and honestly I dig so much this ship!!!
Anyway Jon is not getting much support (even Little Lyanna doesn’t want him to go) but he already made up his mind, Sansa is worried about who the fuck is gonna run the place in his absence and, be still my heart, because he says the North is hers (my shipper heart!!!!) and she is sooooo touched. Also that Jaime/ Brienne parallel.
Creepyfinger is pleased and honestly I can’t wait for Jon to choke the slimy bitch.
7.- Back in the Citadel, Sam says to Slughorn (I can’t remember his actual name, sorry) he knows how to cure greyscale (how very convinient) but hold your horses Potter!!! the thing is dangerous and you really shouldn’t do it. But of course he is gonna do it anyway, because I guess it’s more important to cure his ex-Lord Commander’s son than keeping his place on the Citadel (Slughorn said the procedure was forbbiden so I’m guessing they could expell him for this) to become a Maester for the NW like he was supposed to. Honestly this is all so convinient to have one of D@€nerys stans out and about again *sigh* Also the dialogue was like a porn and I was laughing way to hard even though the scene was disgusting.
8.- Eww that transition was just ewwww I’m glad I wasn’t eating when I watched it, so now we have Arya on her way to KL, and Yay! Hot Pie, I Love him so much, and LMAO Arya and her pies.
So at last Arya hears about the BoB and in that moment she forsakes her revenge to go home (Imma cry again) I think that’s the best damn decision because things are going to be ugly in the south.
9.- Jon in the crypts!!! (It’s happening y'all!!!) I must say that’s a pretty good looking statue of Ned tho. So LF is supposedly trying to get in his good graces but is he really??? I mean his words and tone are polite, he talks about how HE was the one who sent Ned’s bones back to WF (ya you trick ass bitch but you got him killed!!!) and wistully talks about how despite their differences they both loved Cat, and then smoothly reminds Jon about how Cat didn’t care about him and even says she was wrong (I called it!!! That LF was gonna say the last best chance quote from the trailer to Jon) but why was he talking about such a thing, we know Cat (and his bastard status) is a very touchy subject for Jon, as a matter of fact on a deeper level one starts to think maybe he was trying to provoke Jon (Starks. Quick tempers, slow minds is his motto afterall) and even I was surprised by how calm he acted when LF wanted a thank you for saving my life (that FUCKING creep). Until we get the ‘I Love Sansa, like I loved her mother’ it’s such an intresting way of phrasing it, isn’t it?? Because moments before LF states he loved Cat in a romantic way, and when he says he loves Sansa adds the last sentence to leave no room of doubt about what kind of Love is it and what his intentions are. What shaked me was Jon’s expression, he was furious, while moments ago he let LF words slide, a single mention of Sansa and he wants to kill the creeper. Jon’s threat is both terrifying and unexpected ( also I know everyone was freacking out about the sister but Jaime also called Cersei that and they had like 3 children together, same applies to but J0n said D@ny’s name OMG twu wuv, like LMAO Qyburn also said her name and I don’t see anyone shipping them) if LF wanted to provoke a reaction out of him it wasn’t that one definitely. Far to raw and protective to be brotherly.
Jon’s anger doesn’t fade even when he let’s the little creeper go!! He is downright murderous. But then he looks at Sansa and it’s like his whole demeanour changes, I was like what in the Seven hells is this!!!! And the little wave gives me hope they’ll see one another again in this season.
Now what I find real intresting is that last bit with LF. He gets outta those crypts, baffled and massaging his neck, when suddenly he seems to figure something out (you can see it in his eyes) and his first reaction to whatever he was thinking was looking at Sansa (she is looking at the spot Jon just left in such a wistfull and sad manner) and I think he knows something is happening there… Or maybe I’m delusional.
10.- Arya and Nymeria reunite and all is sad, but I think it linda makes sense, Nymeria is not her because Arya herself is not her fully, she had to strip from her identity to become a faceless man, and was using that to take revenge, but now she is stepping back from that destructive path because she has the option to come back home and it’s beginning to be herself again. maybe when she finally does Nymeria will come to her.
11.- I totally lost my shit in here, so Yara and Ellaria are flirting and drinking (so much for this is a war!! ) and far to relaxed and distracted to be part of a group that wants to take the Iron Throne, (Theon is super done with them btw) suddenly all hell breaks loose and Euron’s armada is on da house (he got to get that gift for his Lady) everyone gets crushed, the snakes are murdered and Ellaria/Yara taken prisioners. Also Theon is like LOL no I’m out. But are we supposed to think OMG Euron is totally GOT’s Jack Sparrow!! Cuz I think Ellaria and Yara (also Varys and Theon) were total dumbasses. In being sneaky 101 we learnt that if you wanna smuggle someone somewhere you gotta be disguised (see: LF getting Sansa on the Eyre and Varys taking Tyrion to Essos) Ellaria and Yara had those huge Greyjoy banners like 'here we are!!! The enemy!!!) and they also already knew about Euron’s armada but they choose to believe he was just gonna stay in Pyke pouting.
Like I said totally moronic!!! They could have disguised the ships and the people, traveling in broad daylight and maybe then they could have succeded.
Problem is everyone underestimating Cersei (except Sansa) even when they worked for her (Varys) and lived with her (Tyrion) and that’s what is allowing her to gain footing. As of now D@nys lost her armada and Dorne, her only allies are the Tyrell and with the Unsullied gone her only option is to go dracarys on KL (fuck the writers for this tho, she was actually making a good decision and you force her to hurt people, but maybe it’s intentional)
Also Sam is helping Jorah, but the leaks said the Tarly were going to die by D@nys hands. Looks like someone is gonna regret his decisions.
Anyway, leaving out the Stark bit I wasn’t very happy with this episode because the leaks keep being confirmed and they are still such bullshit (still I’m hoping some or most are fake)
That’s it. And yup I know I didn’t mentioned Greyworm/Missandei sexy time but I am very meh about it, yes it was tender and all but kinda pointless to me even if I like these two a lot.
