stacy is sooo interesting because she's in love with house but knows that they will never ever be able to have a healthy, stable, sane relationship because they're too similar so. she finds house-lite instead and marries him and. essentially moves on with her life! and is successful in this because she's a moderately well-adjusted person!
wilson, in contrast, never manages to escape the inevitable, in spite of his best efforts to find a house-lite of his very own, because he's an absolute fucking freak and ends up glued to house to the bitter. bitter end

I want to make a longer post about this someday but: I think Arya's TWOW arc is going to include her coming to terms with her identity as a Lady. This has been an ongoing conflict with her since her first chapter and I think her flowering in winds is going to mark a turning point. The theory of her having an apprenticeship with the courtesans holds a lot of weight and the idea of Arya going through puberty among a group of unconventional women she's fostered a positive relationship with is just too perfect. It would really have an impact on Arya reconciling her personal idea of what a Lady should be. There's also a lot that she could learn from them in terms of courtesies, communication, appearances, body-language, etc. that would elevate her current skill-set and ways her relationship with them could push the plot.
Not to mention she will undoubtedly reclaim her identity as Arya Stark, and her being a Lady is inseparable from that. Arya Stark is a Lady Stark and being a Lady is a social position, not a measure of how well someone preforms feminine tasks. She shouldn't have to relinquish her position because she doesn't fit patriarchal standards. That's not to say that she's ever going to be the perfect example of a traditional Lady but what I think will happen is that she becomes capable of playing the part. She plays several identities throughout the series but she's always been Arya underneath, so I think it's appropriate that she learns to adopt a "persona" that's part of her. Her remembering Ned putting on his "Lord's face" (+ the various examples of other characters being separate from their ruling persona) makes me think that Arya will be donning her "Lady's face" when she makes a return to Westeros.

I thought the early 2000s "strong yet naked/mostly naked woman kept in her place by stronger, bigger, beast/monster or gang of racist caricatures" trope* was known by basically everyone but I mentioned it as a criticism of this older art book I'd flipped through recently to a friend and it turns out it isn't lol Maybe I've just read too many Heavy Metal issues... It used to be HORRIBLY inescapable in any sort of mature art scene back in the day lmao
*This trope is different from the pre-2000s one because the women usually look like they COULD fight back for at least a little bit whereas the previous trope had them be completely helpless damsels in distress

also I guess this is just an observation
but what is it with some pixel art games being so low contrast... I was finally going to give in and try out a farming sim lots of ppl enjoy despite the portrait art being not entirely to my tastes and then the pixels and environment are sooooo low contrast it made me change my mind again....like you do not have to be scared of dark colors and borders. Outlines. Smile.

Finally watched this week's episode of Fantasy High WOW that was a lot of things getting put together and *oh*
Buddy was brought in to be the Champion of Ankarna once Lucy refused and Kipperlily knew this! She's stealthed, in the last stand, watching the Bad Kids kick ass (infuriating), and then fucking. The other nominee for student council president. Her bodyguard??? Is riding a fucking battle steed and smiting tied to that god you're trying to turn your teacher into -
WELP.
Not who Kipperlily would have picked as Champion but guess who's redundant now, hayseed.

one thing i constantly think about (and i’m glad other people think about it to) is how hank’s self worth issues and connor’s struggle with his independence and sentience clash together. like. ughhh it’s amazing and so angsty and beautiful.
hank thinks that connor couldn’t Possibly want hank. it’s just because he thinks hank is the only option, or was the first kind person to him, or his closest friend. that’s the only reason connor could think he’s attracted to him. because who would want hank? why would perfect, beautiful, strong, sweet connor want hank? he’s a borderline alcoholic, he’s an emotional mess, he’s big and old and rude.
and connor doesn’t understand why his advances aren’t working. he does human methods to show attraction, he is direct like a machine android, he smiles and winks and is close to him physically and emotionally. he wants hank, he knows he does. he wants hank and hank has been one of the first things he’s wanted. hank showed him he was more than a robot. connor thinks hank knows he’s sure of himself and he’s confused when hank constantly ignores or brushes off his advances. is it rejection? shame? denial? he’s still analyzing to figure it out
