I am not remotely a “Satin is a LF agent/spy or something” truther. I think Satin doesn’t need to have that kind of plot-whatever to be interesting and valuable, and it might actually bother me if George did go that route. HOWEVER. I am not immune to a jonsatin/jonygritte role reversal switcheroo parallel of falling for the person spying on you/whom you are spying on. I am not immune, my friends…

i literally hate my sansa tag (16 year old me was trying to be poetic okay) but i haven’t come across a tag or quote i like better yettttttt i also don’t have a specific Sansa Song, i have Stark Songs but not one specific to her. i keep saving all the Sansa art and meta to my drafts and being like “i’ll queue it when i think of a tag” but like george lying about twow ever being released, i am lying to myself about coming up with a tag anytime soon lmao

Every time I think of Game of Thrones and shipping I go a little bit insane because of the fact that Jon and Dany are supposed to actually love each other according to the script and have ZERO on screen chemistry meanwhile Jon and Sansa have such good on screen chemistry and it amounted to nothing. The thing is that I could get behind either ship under specific circumstances but the show didn’t really offer my preferred circumstances for either and it completely fumbled both in different ways. What do you mean we’re supposed to believe Jon still loved Dany even to the end? What happened here?

okay let’s rant about the show acting.

the thing about kit is he needs a STRONG scene partner to kick it into gear. a lot of the early night’s watch scenes are awkward as shit bc the other guys ARE good but they’re not strong enough (whether that means less confident or less seasoned, take your pick here) to herd him into good acting all the time. when he gets to the wildlings, i think he hits a high point bc he has some strong scene partners - rose leslie, ciaran hinds, Kristofer Hivju, i think they just brought out something a bit deeper in him. i haven’t watched the meli scenes since they aired so i can’t speak to that one yet but i do think this carries into the winterfell story arcs. sophie is just a very good scene partner for him! and tbh, i thinks this even fits with jon’s character a bit - kit is so much better at the Stark Aspects of Jon and of course he is, because imo the overreaching arc of jon snow is him defining himself as a son of house stark in character if not in name. it would have been nice if they cast someone who didn’t need to be herded as much as kit tho aksjdjd

the thing as i see it with emilia is…..i have no fucjing idea how to get a good performance out of that girl aksjdjd like her good moments are even more fleeting & hard to pin down. tbf her writing is also consistently bad from the jump. you know how skai jackson posted her audition tape for gossip girl and she was doing the exact sort of disney channel snarky delivery & it was like well That’s why u didn’t get cast. somehow, emilia got cast (and AIDEN I DONT UNDERSTAND IT HE ISNT GOOD ITS GIVING PREMINGER FROM BARBIE OKAY CONLETH SMOKES HIM IN EVERY SCENE). i think that scene where she puts the egg on the brazier & irri walks in is p solid. the scene where she slaps the fuck out of viserys is solid. the final shot of s6 where she’s on the ships is solid. the battle of the bells scene is excellent. her two big dothraki speeches (i think it’s middle of s6 & the last episode?) are very good. everything else isn’t even like, cringe, it’s straight up bad. i think she had good chemistry with iain jason peter & for those 5 seconds elyes, but there’s also a stark difference in acting there that jars me that doesn’t jar me out of say, the “if we die we die” jonygritte scene. but again, can’t overstate how ass her writing is. they’re relegating her to screeching at people & smirking, they very notoriously use emilia’s body a LOT for sexy tiddy scenes so much that once she blew up as a character she leveraged her new found pull not for more money but to not have to show her boobs anymore. that’s just not an added stressor that kit was dealing with.

anyways so, what happens when you get two actors who aren’t very good at acting on the screen is that you just don’t get a lot of good acting. and when there’s no good writing to speak of, well, that’s how you get the romantic story lines of later game of thrones. the one that actually goes canon is just perplexing in how it’s written and badly acted. the one that stays non canon is well acted but also perplexingly written & it doesn’t even get solid pay off at the end? not even expecting them to kiss, like, there’s no focus on how they’re feeling about the events of the final season they just hug once and dip. not that the canon one gets pay off either skdjd like these are just very stupidly written arcs for these three. the only people that won were jon/tormund truthers and even then they flanderized tormund so bad that it’s like eh.

Robb, Theon, Loras, Renly, Margaery, Sansa, Jon, and Ygritte are the ultimate friend group. You have Robb, Renly, Sansa, and Jon who are the sensible ones, and Theon, Loras, Margaery, and Ygritte who are the wild ones.

Also, Robb, Theon, Loras, and Renly are sort of their own sub friend group, and they are awesome. They constantly go on double dates or just hang out all together because Loras and Theon are the bitchiest of friends while Robb and Renly just watch them fondly as they gossip and do dumb shit. They do occasionally have to intervene when their boyfriends/husbands have an excessively stupid idea.

We’re married

Send “We’re married.” for my muse to wake up in a future or alternate reality where our muses are married.

Accepting || Not Accepting [ meme ] @alordnamedsnow

And here it was - the true unification of the north. Both the REAL NORTH, and the one Ygritte deemed THE SOUTH, now under one name, one face; Jon Snow… She smiled, kissed by fire locks brushing against her ivory skin as fingertips attempted to tame them behind her ear, though the wind would surely have other ideas. Either way, a minor inconvenience in the face of a future that would bring her people true peace… 

“You know you’re not king in the north anymore - FREE FOLK still won’t kneel, even with our marriage - you know this, righ’?”

It didn’t matter to her, though. Jon had been her future, he had always been her future. Everything else that followed was just background noise, now. Emerald hues looked to the one she continues to call CROW, though no longer with only a challenging look, but a look of commitment. Arranged by Jon’s house and her people, or not - this was exactly where she WANTED to be.

I’d love to know ur opinion on Jon’s ships (Jon&Ygritte, Jon&Satin, Jon&Sansa, Jon&Daenerys, Jon&val and so on). I personally like Jonerys but I also find a lot of Jon ships a bit ridiculous lmao

i like Jon and Dany in a very abstract way but it’s hard for me to really get behind them because they haven’t interacted yet if that makes sense. they’re obviously gonna have the largest part to play together in coming books where i think they’ll end up being one of my favorite ships of the series tho

Jon/Satin 10/10 i personally prefer to think of it as Jon being so fucking lonely in his command that he can’t help but take advantage of satin’s position. like when Jon said in adwd he craves company not food hmm i’m lonely and horny and here’s this handsome guy devoted enough to change religions for me and (in amber-laugh’s eyes) is attracted to me so yeah let’s give this a go and then feelings of affection develop from there but it starts out as just a means to an end

Jon/Val my personal favorite of canon possible endings i agree with people who say this is more idealized in Jon’s eyes than it should be but i think that’s part of the fun. she represents something to him that he’ll not only never have but may not even want when it comes down to it. i think that fantasy is part of the fun. if she survives and he does end up going beyond the wall in the end than they’re ending up together in my eyes. she brings out a boyish side of him we haven’t seen in a long time and it comes from a different place than what Ygritte brought out in him that seems to sit easier on his soul. also i could’ve sworn the first time i looked them up on tumblr someone was calling them JonValJon as a Les Mis reference but ive never seen it since so can we start that?

Jon/Ygritte loved it for the storyline it brought and the character development we got to see through it. i’m glad she died so they couldn’t end up together because like i said even tho he loved her she obviously never sat right with his spirit and on a personal level her “fuck me or die” stance never sat right with my spirit either. and she kicked ghost out “find somewhere else for ghost to sleep tonight” NOT ON MY WATCH! ghost’s evil stepmother ik he smiled when she got shot. on a serious note tho he seems to love her far more after she died than he ever did when she was alive and i wonder if that’s something we’ll get in to if he falls in love again in the series

i like Jon/Sansa in a non canon fictional sense. some of the AUs are cute and fun. i don’t see any plot where they actually end up together but i do think there’s a lot of familial angst and self esteem issues that could be worked in to their fanon that’s a lot of fun and their fans have some really talented authors that do it well

and you didn’t ask for this but Jon/Alys Karstark is one of my favorites and i really hope we see her again when he travels back to winterfell. Alys resents the Starks for getting her family killed while Jon resents the Karstarks for leaving Robb to die surrounded by enemies but they’ve found childhood comfort together at the edge of the world. she trusts him in a way she clearly couldn’t trust anyone else in westeros and i think she’ll easily follow him when it’s time for him to lead. and them flirting at her wedding to another man? i mean COME ON!

I know I should let this whole Olympic cardboard bed go, but there's so much hilarity that one can draw from it, you know. Picture this: An athlete makes the unofficial competition of who can ruin most cardboard beds and who can fraternize without actually ruining the cardboard beds. Oberyn wins hands down first place , though it doesn't occur to me who will be second and third place (you know best, Lavi). Sincerely, Cracktastic.

P.S.: Feel free to ignore this, but what other shenanigans and hilarity could the ASoIAF crew do on a Olympics AU?

OKAY SORRY FOR THE LATENESS HERE but in between vaccine and stuff I just got here now that said having also seen some actual other olympic shenanigans:

oberyn absolutely wins first place of fraternizing without ruining the beds followed by arianne and jonygritte who end up trying a lot bc she drags him into it, jb ruin the most followed by theonrobb and gendrya while stannisdavos being coaches have the regular bed and they thank the heavens they don't believe in every day for that

if jaime's representing westerlands and brienne stormlands it means they're on opposite teams but I checked and I can't do the thing I meant to with them so let's say that they tie and brienne lets him have the first shot on pseudopurpose because it's his last chance and she knows it and she's like we're as good as it gets anyway I'll win it next time they 100% make out the moment they're finished

robb and theon representing north and iron islands do the thing that my fellow citizen tamberi and barshim did ie they're competing for the high jump thing they tie and share the gold

jon and the wall gang are most likely in the water polo team and I'm saying water polo bc it looks like the most masochistic choice you could make when choosing a team sports (like.. UTTERMOST RESPECT but the mere idea of throwing a ball WHILE having to swim makes me get a headache klgj) that no one expects to win bc they never did in years but they end up eliminating the crownlands one which no one expected bc they win every other time, dolorus edd the coach is in tears bc he never expected it and yet

ygritte meanwhile is wiping the floor with athletics female stuff plus the wildling team absolutely wins the relay race while she and jon responsibly don't ruin the cardboard beds

tormund totally flirts with the both of them (he's like like weight throwing or whatever's the name), ends up in an amicable threesome, the cardboard bed gets ruined but it's not counted towards the count bc it's three of them

lemme finish this week and we can see if I can add up to this xD

[atopvisenyashill]

jon/ygritte is very interesting bc even tho their situation was pretty fucked up jon did love her! gendrya is cute but arya is too young and the books are never being finished so yeah

yeah those are both very fair. i think if we got the finished books, gendrya would be in that category of “genuine good love story” bc right now it’s like the beginning and middle build up but, especially from gendry’s end, no real climax. i don’t think arya is aware she has romantic feelings for gendry, i’ve said before i think he’s aware of her feelings and just didn’t know how to handle it, and now feels some extreme guilt over ~rejecting~ her unknown crush. and i think that’s very typical sort of romance novel misunderstanding that could come to a very lovely conclusion. but right now arya is still an eleven year old completely unaware of the romantic undertones of that entire thing while gendry is (i always forget his age is he 15??) just like, trying not to die in the riverlands while he stews in his guilt lol.

jonygritte meanwhile is VERY much one of those toxic romances but i think people are really silly about it. there’s significantly more romanticism in this relationship than other ones, and i think it’s silly to ignore that aspect for the hardline anti ygritte takes the same as like, ignoring those toxic elements really takes away how interesting this relationship is. on the one hand, there’s very much a reason that this romance serves a similar narrative purpose as like, dany/drogo, tyrion/tysha and tyrion/shae, sansa/sandor, etc, and it’s bc there’s some FREAKY consent issues going on here lmao but on the other hand….jon’s feelings for ygritte have impacted not just his own feelings on romance but also his entire leadership arc re: gender & culture it’s so stupid to pretend like she’s ONLY there as a negative influence (this is how i feel about sandor too).
