[nighttimemachinery]

in honor of the end of teen wolf, i would just really like to shoutout to all of the twrarepair content creators who i’ve known throughout the years. i love so many ships in teen wolf, popular ships included, but the rarepair content creators constantly inspired me with their creativity - the ways that two characters who have very little screen time together could have a flourishing relationship in a fanfic or be manipulated together into the same image in a graphic or gifset. i’m just gonna take a second to thank everyone i can think of right now. i’m not even gonna make a read more you just have to witness my great love and appreciation for these people.

@clizzy​ / rogue: i haven’t talked to you in a million years but your ongoing creation of dallison and dallison+ content was a huge reason why i go into rarepairs in the first place. also you supported me and my love for dira and i really appreciate that <3

@torple​ / sarah: you’re the entire reason i learned how to make gifs?? your lyric gifsets are so beautiful and you were always down to fill my random rarepair lyric requests and you’re so cool and i love you

@killstiles​ / nicole: i don’t even know what to say you’re just the best and you love all the best ships and most importantly allison and scott and kira.

@derekslaura​ / ellis & @sleepy-skittles​ / kat : you are polya teen wolf royalty!! you’re always down to talk rarepairs and esp polyships and you have so many good headcanons any time someone has an idea for a rareship! thank you both for doing such important work xoxoxo

@jameskirk​: i’ve never spoken to you so i’m sorry if this is weird but i’ll always appreciate your dedication to creating beautiful dallison content. your use of color and of one of my favorite teen wolf ships has been so important and inspiring to me over the years!

@queerkira / liss & @dianameras / katie: you both have made so many creative au rarepair gifsets and graphics and i’ve gone back to your work countless times for inspiration and ways to rethink different tw relationships

@inell & @elfysparkles88: semi - i know you a little from the twrpnetwork and inell i haven’t spoken to you ever i think, but you guys are so great. i know that any time i search for a rarepair fic on ao3 and i’m worried that the ship might be too rare to have anything, probably one of you will have written something for them. so thank you both for filling the void of fanfiction for all of my fave rarepairs.

@letscottmccallbehappy2k17 / kim: thank you for your endless dediction to scott mccall and vernon boyd. also for inspiring me to create content for ships like deucalion/kira or boyd/brett or any number of pairings i may never have thought of without you

@lesbiancleophas / ella: you are a femslash rarepair fanfic mvp ur great never stop <3

also thanks to anyone who has ever been a part of @twrarepairnetwork that i might have missed. imogen, you’re not on tumblr any more but thanks for bringing us all together and giving us such a great gift. to any members, you’re the coolest and you made my time in the teen wolf fandom better. to anyone who participated in a rarepairweek, thanks for being one of us and for making the fandom richer and more diverse with your rarepair content.

anyhoo i know i’m forgetting a million people but i just had to say thank you to all of these wonderful people for the roles they’ve played in my life for the last five years. you’re all amazing and thank you so much.

23: “I’m trying my best to be polite, but…”

24: “Is that my…”

[amorremanet]

okay, so… Liss queerkira tagged me in a thingy like forever ago, and…

see, the thing is, telling me, "Name your 10 favourite fictional characters, then tag 10 friends!" is like the most pointless thing that you could ever do with your life because I can't fucking do it.

so instead of a nice concise list, you get a giant comparative list of faves by fandom, with five outliers who get set aside because they're my precious baby faves and as outliers, they should not be counted.

also, I tag…… whoever wants to do the thing, I guess, because I have no idea who to tag and I want to just post this shit already and get it over with.

outlying pieces of data, my faves among faves: Barty Crouch Jr. (Harry Potter series, meaning Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire), Scott McCall (Teen Wolf), Santana Lopez (I could quit Glee, but I couldn't quit my forever girl), Bela Talbot (likewise to Santana, just… with SPN instead), and Judas Iscariot (Christian mythology).

TOP "THIRTEEN" FOR STAR TREK: DS9

Dr. Julian Bashir, to the surprise of literally no one ever.

Elim Garak & Benjamin Lafayette "the Emissary" Sisko (…please don't make me try to choose, I really can't, I love them both so much and they are both so important to me and also I kinda want them to make out).

Tora Ziyal

Kira Nerys & Worf, son of Mogh (……ditto, re: choosing)

Jadzia Dax & Ezri Dax (………I'm sorry, I'm indecisive trash)

Gul [Skrain] Dukat (literally one of the most perfectly written and executed villains ever, your faves only WISH their villains were this well written)

Kasidy Yates & General Martok, son of Urthog, eventually Chancellor of the Klingon Empire

Lady Sirella, daughter of Linkasa, mistress of the House of Martok

Kai Winn Adami (don't fuck around with me about Kai Winn, because you will lose)

Quark son of Keldar, [Corat] Damar & Constable Odo

Leeta, Enabran Tain & Amsha Bashir

the various incarnations of Weyoun (literally all of them, though I'm very very fond of 7 and 8)

Vedek Bareil Antos & Lt. Commander Michael Eddington (not my fave of faves but he does have one of the single best monologues ever written for any character in any Star Trek series period end of discussion)

with an honorable mention going to Leela Dax, Curzon Dax, Emony Dax and Joran Dax. especially Emony, since she's the gymnast Dax who got herself a piece of Dr. McCoy's bones, if u know what i mean.

(I mean that they had a ton of sex this one time because Dax has done like everything ever. except for gardening. …oh wait no, Tobin Dax did TRY his hand at gardening but he really sucked at it.)

TOP "THIRTEEN" FOR STAR TREK (every other series/movie/etc.)

Geordi La Forge, Guinan & Pavel Chekov

Montgomery "Scotty" Scott & Dr. Beverly Crusher

Kor, Kang, and Koloth, my beautiful bb Dahar Masters ♡

The Borg Queen & the Romulan Commander from "Balance of Terror"

Governor Kodos "the Executioner" (Anton Karidian). ……tbh, I feel like I should say Data, but I'm actually kind of lukewarm on Data these days and Brent Spiner's personality offscreen is slowly ruining him for me. but I really like Kodos as a villain and "The Conscience of the King" is in the top five episodes of TOS, easily, and definitely in my top ten to top fifteen for favorite Star Trek episodes regardless of series (which really says a lot about how much I like it, since this would put it in good company with "Far Beyond the Stars" and "In The Pale Moonlight" from DS9, which are the objectively best and most important episodes of any Star Trek series ever, and you only WISH that your faves could begin to consider even-ing)

the idea of Jean-Luc Picard, but not so much the execution because the execution BLOWS. for real, though? ultimately, Jean-Luc Picard is only partly saved because Sir Patrick Stewart is shaped like himself. but he needed better fucking writing and Picard could have been such a GREAT character…… except that Roddenberry spent most of his last years on this planet making sure that Picard fucking sucked. (tbh and to be fair to Picard, literally ALL of TNG needed a LOT of better fucking writing. by which I mean that they needed to NOT press the reboot button on characterization every fucking week, they needed to NOT just adhere to Roddenberry's fucking ideas about how the Federation worked or should work without any fucking questions asked, they needed to be more willing to question the details of how to actually achieve the happy space future that Roddenberry wanted, and…… basically, they needed to be more like Deep Space Nine. unfortunately for us all, they were NOT more like Deep Space Nine, and the potential of TNG and Voyager [in different ways] was SO CLOSE… and yet so very wasted.)

*: but only the Subway who was played by Keith Dudemeister. who I know has an irl name but I haven't bothered to learn it and I don't plan to, either, because it's easier to remember him as Keith Dudemeister. also Britta/Subway = OTP 5ever.

TOP "THIRTEEN" FOR THE HUNGER GAMES.

Thresh, Enobaria & Seeder

uh, Seneca Crane, I guess? like, I was debating between Coin and Snow, as far as villains go, and they both have a lot of reasons why I like them as villains? but… tbh, I like them less as characters in their own right and more with regard to what they mean to Katniss, and it's not like Seneca really beats them in this regard? ……but he does have hella cool pretentious douchebag facial hair according to movie!canon and really I appreciate his artistically crafted pretentious douchebag facial hair.

*: …yes, really. ……yes, I'm completely fucking serious, I remember the whole thing very fucking vividly, actually. I was like four years old and crying my eyes out while just contemplating existence and what it all means and who the fuck I even am and how do I know that I am who I think I am and is the thing that I call my "self" just a socially constructed something or other that can be taken away from me if and when other people decide that I'm no longer who I think I am and what if life is just a fucking Lego table or a Barbie house and people are just toys and God is like a giant four year old who is literally playing with us and what does it all mean if we're just God's toys and what does it all mean if I can't determine who I am for myself and what even do I mean myself if what it means to be me can change at any given moment because of something superficial to which everyone else attaches a great deal of significance even though I still feel and think in ways that I recognize as being of myself and what if my feelings of selfhood are wrong but I can't tell it and do I even know my own mind and what does anything MEAN if I don't know my own mind… and eventually, I stopped crying because I couldn't cry anymore due to a mix of emotional exhaustion and dehydration, so I just kind of spaced out a lot, like staring at the wall and still thinking about all of these things and trying to parse through them as much as I could for a four year old (which I've been told was actually kind of a lot, based on my parents' and old babysitter/surrogate older sister's recollections of the times when I had my little bb existential crises aloud at them. …apparently, I was a somewhat unnerving child). and anyway, I got into this first existential crisis when I was four years old because of fucking Tigger. …to explain, sort of: there's this episode of The New Winnie the Pooh Adventures — the Pooh Bear Saturday morning cartoon that ran from like 1988 to 1991, and then would get periodically re-aired on various stations and my parents got me and my sister a few VHS tapes of it at some point. said episode is a very Tigger-centric episode. it's called, "Stripes." you can watch it on Youtube right over here. the plot of the episode is: Rabbit makes Tigger take a bath because he's been bouncing in mud puddles again. for an unexplained reason, this means that Tigger's stripes wash off, and suddenly everyone but Eeyore forgets who the fuck Tigger is. they literally can't recognize him anymore without his stripes, and he's all, "wait?? who am I if I'm not Tigger???" so he tries to be a rabbit, then he tries to be a bear, he's too big to be a piglet so they dress him up like a Christmas tree, and then he goes off and is completely disconsolate because he doesn't have a sense of identity anymore and he doesn't know who he is or if he's even a someone in the first place, then Eeyore goes, "but you're still Tigger??" and somehow, bouncing around makes Tigger's stripes come back. I still don't know what the actual intended point or take home message of this fucking episode was. I just know that it always made me break down sobbing until I was too emotionally exhausted to sob anymore so I curled up and stared at the nearest wall and just contemplated existence until I wasn't even sure that I was a real entity, much less a unique entity unto myself with an identity of my own because maybe I was just part of some larger consciousness that encompassed all people in the world and I just thought that I was a discrete entity because of some fucking mislaid wires in my perception of reality or something. and I don't know WHY any of this happened because I don't know what the Hell is wrong with me, but the point of this story is that when I was an teeny ickle Kassie-beast, I had huge emotional meltdowns and multiple existential crises that can be directly traced back to fucking Tigger, they started when I was four, and that is why Tigger is so fucking important to me.

also, I'm not saying that I still kinda overly identify with Tigger, but I am definitely saying that the wonderful thing about Kassie's is Kassie's are wonderful things, we're bouncy trouncy flouncy pouncy, fun fun fun fun fun! and the most wonderful thing about Kassie's is I'm the only one! (……well, at least, until we find a planet that has somehow wound up exactly like our own Earth or a gateway to parallel universes or something? I'm the only one of me that I know of, so I'm the only Kassie of my exact make and model, so to speak.)

TOP "THIRTEEN" CHARS WHO ARE MOSTLY/ENTIRELY HEADCANON

Camden Lahey

Laura Hale

Marisol Delgado (Scott's favorite cousin. …who looks like Naya Rivera and is dating a girl named Melanie Ashgate who coincidentally looks like Amber Riley) & Santiago Delgado (more commonly called 'Yago'; Mari's twin brother, and Scott's other favorite cousin, who looks like Michael Trevino)

all of my headcanon Delgado family members, actually, but some special shout outs go to: Maristela Delgado (Melissa's mother, Scott's abuela, and cousin Mari's namesake… just. in character, since… Marisol got named first OOC); Tio Diego (who's the youngest of Melissa's siblings and looks like Diego Luna, and he's not like a regular uncle, he's a cool uncle — like, legitimately and everything, though. he's an art teacher with a penchant for painting and sketching, and his photography teacher boyfriend Alejandro Muñoz looks like Gael Garcia Bernal because I'm fucking trash); Tio Javier (Melissa's older brother, who is also Mari and Yago's father); and Tia Teresa (Melissa's youngest sister, who is bi and married to a lady and she and Scott have a special sort of connection because of eating disorder related feels and being the two people in the family who've dealt with them as sufferers, not as "loved ones trying to help").

Demeter (Gamp) Crouch — Barty Crouch's wispy, fainting mother, who has also been a Burke in my headcanon before, but either way, she's Very Important to me and I'm so totally fucking over the way that JKR wrote her as a borderline identity-less martyr figure whose sole purpose was apparently to have feelings and be dead. Demeter is fucking angry in my headcanon, and on top of her physical illnesses, she's neurodivergent and mentally ill, and uh, her son kind of inherited those things. which probably would've been manageable enough, if difficult at points (like all of the points when psychotic episodes get involved or when they have fainting spells [which both of them do in canon] or get too emotionally overwhelmed to function).

Albus Severus Potter, my actual fucking son and adorkable Slytherin nerd baby.

Edmund and Eleanor Lahey — they're also mainly Astrid's fault, here. like, a lot of the Eleanor development has… sorta kinda been me just running with it and having feels with Camden.

Talia Hale & Byron Hale (nee Erikson) — Derek, Cora, and Laura's parents. technically, my Talia doesn't deviate from Teen Wolf canon that much? …but I seem to have a very VERY different read of Talia from 98% of the fandom. and just… based on what she shows us in "Visionary," and my read on Talia is that she might be a good Alpha…… but she's a totally bullshit parent. like, at best, she's neglectful and at worst, she first lets Derek slide on listening to Peter and having a hand in murdering Paige and turns the moment into some fucking bb you're a fiiiiiiiiiireWORK bullshit while Derek is literally sitting there and cradling Paige's corpse, then she lets Peter slide on putting the, "lol get Paige bitten :)" notion in Derek's head in the first fucking place, then she dispenses punishment by non-consensually stealing their memories (which was meant to just be about the Nematode but apparently also included stuff about Malia and her mother), and I just??? that is NOT the making of a good parent. …and I could go into more of my Hale parents headcanons but I don't feel like it and this post is inexcusably long already, so let's just end this with, "Byron Hale looks like Sean Bean; he is an ineffectual loser who's closest with Cora out of his children, reads her The Hobbit as a bedtime story and goes on special outings to the Beacon County Renaissance Festival with her, and likes building birdhouses in the garage"

everyone on the Beacon Hills High School class of 2005 Swim Team (it's the class of 2006 in canon but that's just because Jeff is even worse at math than I am)

technically, Braeden and Danny are on this list and that makes me feel so angry

…technically, Cedric Diggory and Madge Undersee and even my darling precious Bartemius Hallam Crouch Jr. are all on this list too and RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU'RE CONSTANTLY PISSED OFF ABOUT REALLY GOOD CHARACTERS GETTING NO FUCKING DEVELOPMENT — OR AT LEAST NOT AS MUCH AS THEY DESERVED — IN THEIR TEXTS *raises hand emphatically and waves it around forever*

Caradoc Dearborn, probably. "probably" here meaning, "I'm running out of ideas, it's hard to remember which bits are headcanon and which bits aren't"

Grandma Stilinski — I can't remember if Astrid and I ever first-named Stiles's paternal grandmother, but she's in a little biker clique and she fucks stuff up, wears leather jackets, goes to protests and causes trouble, very frankly talks about sex stuff at the kitchen table (and laughs when it makes Scott blush and choke on his coffee), and gets on the Sheriff's case constantly for being a goody two-shoes lawman. like, she'll just be sitting at the table, talking about sex stuff with Isaac and making Scott blush like an adorable little werewolf tomato, and she'll just casually say, "Fuck the police" and the Sheriff will be like, "but moooom, I am the police :(" "yeah well that's not my problem is it, John Boy. so I say again: FUCK. the. po. lease."

TOP THIRTEEN FROM OTHER FANDOMS/MEDIA (edited from the original version because it was completely ridic)

Gretchen Weiners (Mean Girls; no seriously I will legitimately fucking fight you over Gretchen Weiners, she is my darling heart and my princess and I will fight you)

Lady Macbeth ("The Scottish Play"… there's a reason my lady villains tag is named for her)

Ivan Karamazov (The Brothers Karamazov, Fyodor Dostoevsky; my most darling troubled forever boy)

Grendel (…the eponymous monster protagonist of John Gardner's novel)

The Witch (Into the Woods, Stephen Sondheim & James Lapine; I'm rather partial to Bernadette Peters' take on the character but I'm by no means restricted to loving her as my one and only Witch)

The Creature (Frankenstein; novel or nothing. and don't even talk to me about the classic Hollywood takes on the Creature, I don't wanna hear shit about shit about that rubbish or Boris Karloff's performance in that rubbish or any of it. Hollywood completely desecrated the beauty and vision and point of Mary Shelley's novel and I'll never ever forgive them for it. ever.)

Akasha, Lestat du Lioncourt, Daniel Molloy, Armand & Claudia (the Vampire Chronicles series, Anne Rice)

Lucy Westenra, Mina Harker & Count Dracula (you get three guesses & the first two don't count)

Dr. Spencer Reid, Emily Prentiss, Derek Morgan, Penelope Garcia & Jordan Todd (Criminal Minds)

Cassandra Edelstein & Hilary Faye Stockard (Saved! …do I ship it? yes, I do. I'm trash garbage, how about you.)

Will Graham, at least in the Red Dragon novel and Hugh Dancy's take on the character from NBC Hannibal. just… the Will Grahams from Manhunter and the Red Dragon movie do not exist, they didn't happen, no nein nyet nope I refuse to accept these false neurotypical-washed Will Grahams, they don't exist (and tbh the Red Dragon movie is only watchable because of Ralph Fiennes's and Philip Seymour-Hoffman's performances because there's so much about the rest of the movie that makes me want to fucking scream) and from the not-Will parts of NBC's Hannibal: Freddie Lounds, Beverly Katz, Bella Crawford, Jack Crawford, and Abigail Hobbs. and…… Mads Mikkelwhosit's portrayal of Hannibal Lecter is actually legitimately my favorite version of the character and it feels like a sacrilege to say so because I grew up on Anthony Hopkins's Lecter but…… honestly, Sir TonyHops phones it in so hard in Red Dragon and Hannibal, it almost feels insulting, and ultimately, he has a more performative take on Lecter that totally works, but Mads Mikkelsen has a more visceral and psychological take on Lecter that works for other reasons and makes his version more appealing to me.

Frodo Baggins, Peregrin "Pippin" Took, Boromir & Faramir sons of Denethor, Eowyn daughter of Eomund, Aragorn son of Arathorn, Legolas Greenleaf, Gimli son of Gloin, Arwen Evenstar, Lord Elrond, Lady Galadriel, Tauriel, Dís (Queen Under the Fucking Mountain because fuck you JRR Tolkien, THAT'S why), Belladonna Took, Smaug, Morgoth, Radagast the Brown, Gandalf the Grey, and the Witch King of Angmar — The Lord of the Rings series and related media …mostly meaning the Peter Jackson shit because dude, I get what JRR Tolkien was trying to do with the books and I appreciate his whole, "but waaaah, I wanna make a mythopoeia thingy thingy stuff thing, IT'S A DAMNED INTELLECTUAL ADVENTURE TO DESTROY A MAGICAL MACGUFFIN ARTIFACT OF EVIL!!!!" thing, that's totally cool, I get it and I respect that… but people always wanna forget that this little fuck-face was a medievalist and a philologist and a scholar before he was a fiction writer and this makes his writing style borderline fucking unintelligible a lot of the time, both in terms of the language and in terms of his hella tenuous, highly debatable so-called "grasp" on how to write a fictional character. just… tbh, u guise? it's 2015 and he's long since dead; let's all just stop kidding ourselves and admit that Tolkien needed a better fucking editor. that said, the Witch King of Angmar is very unironically on my "aesthetics goals" list. I want to have a look of mostly black with armor-type bits and a fucking sword and a wyvern to ride and I want to be so terrifying and so beautiful to look upon that men shit themselves from pure horror and go running for the hills. …also, DRAGONS, U GUISE. U GUISE. DRAGONS.

my "I hate your shows now but I will always love you" babes: Quinn Fabray, Lauren Zizes, Mercedes Jones, Kurt Hummel, Noah Puckerman, Tina Cohen-Chang, Mike Chang, and Sam Evans (Glee); and Anna Milton, Ruby (all of the Rubies), Ava Wilson, Jake Talley, Kevin Tran, Viktor Henriksen, Gordon Walker, Lilith, Cassie Robinson, Meg, Charlie Bradbury, Becky Rosen, Alan J. Corbett, and "basically all the ladies who you hate" (Supernatural. …also Alastair and Zachariah because I'm fucking TRASH and they hit me in EXACTLY the right sorts of dude-villain buttons. and even if that weren't true, Zachariah would still get a mention because of how, "We didn't lie; we just avoided certain truths to manipulate you" has wormed its way into my vocabulary. …as have a lot of things from that fucking show, unfortunately, by way of, "delayed echolalia and all my countless hours spent watching the shit." …also, please don't ask me to tell you why I love any of the Supernatural characters listed here. please just accept that I do and leave it at that, because I don't want to talk about this fucking show.)

and this is an honorable mention spot for Erik Fucking Lehnsherr, because I'm literal trash garbage and I'm not really in any of the Marvel fandoms (……I'm gonna watch enough of the MCU so I can watch Cap 2 and actually get any of it beyond my, "this is what I grokked from my dash" version of the story — which I am actually very fond of, tbh [it's in the tags of that post] — and actually, the Thor movies sound hella rad) but I did see X-Men: First Class because my brother wouldn't shut up about it and the message that I walked away from it with was, "Erik may not be right exactly because he's going hella too far in HOW he wants to accomplish here but Charles is hella fucking wrong and needs to kindly shut his overprivileged mouth like yesterday, I mean seriously: fuck Charles Xavier" and I am ashamed of myself for having love for any characters played by Michael Fassbender but. I really liked his Erik. I like the Erik/Magneto character in general and his version of the character was just really really good

Ser Barristan Selmy & this is where I would put Dany if I liked the execution of her storyline but I don't.

Lord Commander Jeor Mormont, King Robb Stark & Ser Davos "Onion Knight" Seaworth.

uh… Jaime Lannister, I guess? and this is approximately where I would put Viserys Targaryen if I liked the execution of his storyline, but I don't — just for different reasons than with his sister. With Dany, my problems have been articulated a million times over by people who are so much better at talking about this than I am. With Viserys, though, my problem is that yes, he is an abusive would-be sister-raping little fuck-face… but I fucking CAN'T with how GRRM and his narrative seem to think that Robert Baratheon is the fucking bomb when fuck that shit, he is SO NOT, fucking JOFFREY was a better king than his fucking official father and Joffrey was a right little monster and miserably inept on top of it. …which is relevant to Viserys because, as I said in the post at that link? fuck the everliving fucking HELL out of all that noise, y'all. Viserys of House Targaryen, third of his name, would-be sister-raping abusive fucking fuck-face as not BORN that way, even if you account for the centuries of Targaryen sibling incest. more than anything else, he was MADE that way, and he was made that way by TRAUMA — in fact, he and Dany were put through a fucking trauma conga line, and it started for Viserys when he was fucking FIVE YEARS OLD. and more than that? basically everything in aforementioned trauma conga line can be TRACED BACK TO KING ROBERT FUCKING BARATHEON, whether directly or indirectly  so… TL;DR version: this spot is where I would put Viserys "chronically abusive, hella fucking racist, would-be sister-raping fuck-face" Targaryen if the narrative would absolutely portray him as what he is and give him no slack about it — but would also acknowledge that he wasn't just ~born an abusive would-be sister-raping racist monster~ or what the fuck ever, and acknowledge that out of the two of them he's actually probably way better off morally than King Bob the Miserably Inept of House Bro-ratheon Complete Disgrace to His Family, and fucking stop expecting me to sympathize with the utter piece of shit so-called King who made Viserys the way he is just because he's fucking BFF with Ned Fucking Stark (who really isn't doing so hot here either, though at least he's better than Robert) let alone expecting me to see aforementioned piece of shit as a good person and being all, "well yeah he has his flaaaaws but that's okaaaay, it's totally fair that he's an abusive neglectful misogynistic hypocritical piece of shit rapist who's totally fucking down with murdering babies and thinks it's legitimately okay to do as long as HE isn't the one who does the actual baby murdering, I mean people are more complicated than your dumb black and white morality it's complexity and humans being huuuumans" ……while unilaterally demonizing Viserys even though Viserys has the more sympathetic backstory and more understandable reasons for being the way he is, here. like, dude. Robert's parents died when he was young, sure, but Jon Arryn fostered him and loved the fuck out of him and he straight up abandoned Renly and Stannis for Ned Stark then gets to talk about loyalty like he actually knows what the fuck that word means (hint: he doesn't) …and the shit he pulls in the text is fucking disgusting and in no way at all explained by his backstory; apparently, he's just the worst SHIT in the Seven Kingdoms because that's who he is like jesus fucking CHRIST, I don't even LIKE Tywin Lannister but I'd still pick him over Robert any day because at least he's: a. upfront about the fact that he's a complete douchebag whose sense of basic decency is pretty much non-existent; and b. NOT a completely inept fucking loser who ran seven fucking kingdoms into the fucking ground all while acting like he was the Gods' Gift To Westeros over a rebellion that he started because he thought Lyanna Stark belonged to him like she was a fucking piece of jewelry or something ……Robert Baratheon is the fucking worst and I hate him, the end.

and uh, this is a special note for Ser Lancel Lannister, because I feel very protective of him even though I don't actually like him that much? it's just like… first of all, I am just plain sick of seeing "Little Lion Man" by Mumford and Sons on fandom graphics to begin with. but I'm even more sick of seeing it on Jaime and Tyrion shit because, for all I will grant that it IS appropriate for the pair of them in different ways and for very different reasons (and har har, Lannisters are lions, blah blah, yes it's all very clever aren't you special)…… uhm, no? just? no??? if any member of House Lannister actually deserves that's song, it's actually Ser Lancel. and he deserves it more than those two golden-haired ding-dongs because… secondly? I completely hate the way that what people do to Lancel is treated by the narrative and the fandom both. like, the books are marginally better, since we see some of the longer-term effects of the straight up abusive bullshit that Robert, Tyrion, Tywin, and Cersei put Lancel through… but the narrative still keeps the primary focus there on Jaime and Jaime's feels about stuff and how bawww Jaime thought he knew his sister-wife better than anyone and he was the Warrior and she was the Maiden but wahhh all this time Cersei was the Stranger, hiding her true face from him and blah blah yadda, which is all very nice and whatnot, it's great that Jaime has a lot of feelings…… but. uhm. Lancel dealing with the longterm effects of his abuse should probably be actually about Ser Lancel himself, rather than about Jaime feeling his feels. and then you've got the show, where the whole thing is seriously portrayed as a fucking joke: "Oh man, Robert just BURNED Lancel (if you can really call it a 'burn' when… all he did was hurl drunken verbal abuse at Lancel), lol so funny!!! oh shit son, Cersei's been taking sexual advantage of Lancel AND she can beat him up while she's drunk, LOL WHAT KIND OF MAN ARE YOU, YOU FAIL AT KNIGHTHOOD!!!" for fuck's sakes, they literally have Tyrion saying, "Did she take you? Against your will? Can you not defend yourself, knight?" to Lancel in "Garden of Bones," then Tyrion just HAD to go on and invalidate the fact that Ser Lancel was coerced into having sex with Cersei and was in a position in which he did not have the ability to give consent, and THEN Tyrion used these things as leverage to manipulate and blackmail Lancel into spying on Cersei for him when this could have easily gotten Lancel killed, we follow this up in the next episode with Tyrion threatening and humiliating Lancel for no apparent reason beyond asserting that he's the dominant one in this spying arrangement…… and the whole thing is both funny AND not a reason why, for all he does pretty okay by Westerosi standarads, Tyrion Fucking Lannister is NOT actually a shining beacon of any kind of morals or ethics or whatever. …except for how the whole thing is actually legitimately NOT FUCKING FUNNY and one of the many reasons why Tyrion Fucking Lannister gets the gold star of, "well, by Westerosi standards, you're not that bad" but is otherwise really not someone to look to for moral guidances. at all. ever. like, jesus god, I fucking love the little shit, just like I would totally let his big sister do anything she wanted to me, literally anything, because I love her so much, but??? it's not that hard to like a character and also acknowledge that they've done some pretty fucked up shit???? and the way that Tyrion and Cersei treat Lancel definitely counts as "some pretty fucked up shit," at LEAST.

and I guess this is just another little note that… while I wouldn't call Podrick Payne, Brienne of Tarth, Syrio Forrel, or Shireen Baratheon my favorites, I think they're beautiful perfect darlings and I want them to be happy. but this is Westeros, so that's never going to happen (and I mean, three of four are dead in the books, so). …also, I wish that GRRM and the GOT staff had been way less racist in writing Mirri Maz Duur, but I actually really love her as a character, and… tbh, everything she does regarding Dany and Drogo makes perfect sense to me and I totally feel for her on it?? like, literally all of it?? Mirri Maz Duur deserves better than GRRM. :/
