I will mourn you longer than I knew you.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t draw snow marcy

I don’t think I’ll ever get over Robb, a teen and elder brother forced to be a king and fight a war, naming Jon his successor. No matter how hard Catelyn tried, the Stark kids love Jon. Robb knew this decision would be controversial but he trusted in Jon and loved him.

Sorry, that’s so sweet to me.

Kara vs Clark in My Adventures with Superman 2x05

[rise-my-angel]

I'm just saying there is one character whose literal entire storyline from start to finish was entierly about winter and the long night and was the most active in every single step of the way about it, who also has Targaryean blood and would actually make sense to appear in a vision about Targaryeans and the Long Night, and that the writers did not think to utilize this character during this vision in any way shape or form.

is anyone who felt a way about Snow Miser experiencing déjà vu right now 🙈

Okay; so, this was an Ice Prince Finn scarecrow!

Reading Jon chapters kinda makes me want to claw my eyes out but my god, he’s just swimming in symbolic imagery.

ice and snow spoilers issues #1 through #3

usagi’s arm—the one that got smashed by a kappa that one time—being the arm that got dragged by the yuki-onna 👀👀👀

watching keiko and jei eat. i’m gonna think of the emperor’s ban on meat until the day i die. meat was something basically everyone enjoyed anyway, if they could get their hands on it (the hikone clan gifting “medicine” to the emperor, the illicit meat market trade in the bigger cities, the fact that poorer towns with poorer harvests relied on hunting as another avenue for food), but these two really don’t do things by half, huh.

jei casually rooting through someone’s mind and memories, his victims eyes momentarily going white.

side note, i love these little details, like their (straw?) winter capes being “well-oiled to make them waterproof and keep in the heat,” i was wondering how those worked.

for tbs au stuff, i’ve been looking into housing around this general era. and it’s interesting to compare the few remaining farmer houses of the edo period (along with some amazing recreations in japanese museums), to what stan puts on the page. he’s a comic artist, and that means he has to work fast, and that means simplifying a lot of what he works with. no one except the nitpickers are going to care if his houses look less than lived in when there’s a greater story going on.

and in this case, it makes sense if the yuki-onna doesn’t have that much stuff lying around.

nonsequitor: yuki-onna’s fire burnt hair cut looks kinda gay (approving)

jei proves to be far more interesting when his face isn’t just stuck like that. or when he’s having opinions.

for the longest time, part of jei’s only slightly interesting angle was the fact that he was shrouded in mystery. but in my opinion, that’s held him back a lot. having keiko around, spilling his backstory, having him interact with other supernatural beings—all of that helps him become more like a character than a force of nature. which, in theory, sounds a little like a downgrade. but it’s not. lord hikiji can pull off the former, because his actions are used very sparsely by stan sakai, while simultaneously ghosting the entirety of the narrative. there is no story without him. by comparison, we get a lot of jei. and it only serves to draw attention to how little substance he has as a character.

he doesn’t have an arc. he never learns anything or grows (prior to keiko). he interacts with bandits the most (this is what, the second or third time he’s become someone’s boss?), but only to kill them really. and watching them cower around him gets real old, real fast.

even watching him fight usagi isn’t actually that interesting. i’m never as worried for usagi as i am for other characters. (rest in peace, inazuma—and hold on yukichi.)

unrelated: jei is made of void, confirmed /j

Also hope they just come and out and confirm that Dany is the Prince that was Promised just so I can stop seeing theories that take the series misogyny as fact

Jon (broody af): Someone will die

Sam: (Squeaks)

Pyp: of fun!

Grenn (scratching his head): Someone’s dying? Who?

Edd: most likely me

if i had a nickel for every time a dark-haired bastard son of a would-be king died and was resurrected by temporarily inhabiting his spiritually bonded pet wolf i'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice
