i will never shut up about jon promising to protect sansa in 6x09 and then the parallel of lyanna begging ned to promise to protect jon IN THE NEXT EPISODE. something something “if the day should ever come when your lord father was forced to chose between honor on the one hand and those he loves on the other what would he do?” and we KNOW ned picked love. ned loved his sister so much he lied to his king and bff to protect jon. ned loved his daughter so much he sacrificed his honor and duty to the realm and lied to protect sansa.

the writers intentionally put sansa at the center of jon and dany’s conflict. sansa’s not in king’s landing during the battle in 8x05 or 8x06 but she still haunts the narrative, her name is brought up by FOUR different characters. jon was ready to die if dany saw him as a threat to the throne. “i'm tired of fighting it’s all i've done since i left home.” and the only way to get through to him and to get him to fight again and to kill dany is to mention sansa and how she’ll never be safe with dany around. “if we don’t take back the north we’ll never be safe i want you to help me but i'll do it myself if i have to.”

and sansa is so used to being alone. she spent months waiting for robb to rescue her from king's landing, and it never happened. robb chose the north, his duty, over her. and she's beaten for the north's independence and then sold to two different families who stole the north from her. and then she finally finds help in theon and brienne and podrick but she doesn't feel completely safe again until she's in jon's arms. but even then she's still ready for more disappointment, to be separated from her family again because “life is not a song” and “there are no heroes.” but jon isn’t robb. “jon isn’t tormund. jon isn’t davos, or the red woman, or stannis for that matter. jon is jon.”

“where will you go? where will we go. i won’t ever let him touch you again. we need to trust each other. until i return the north is yours. touch my sister and i’ll kill you myself. what you did for her is the only reason i’m not killing you. i’m her family too. what about everyone else? what about the other people who think they know what’s good? i’ll protect you, i promise. no one can protect me, no one can protect anyone.” but jon proves her wrong, he can protect her. he will keep her safe. because when his day comes and he has to chose between love and duty, he chooses her. there still are heroes in her story and their story isn't over yet.

Ok I was thinking part of Jinx's suicidal spiral in s2ep8 was of course Isha but also I think she was suicidal cause of Vi. Recall, that when Vi wakes up, she's told by Loris that it took three doctors to resurrect her, and there was a chance she wouldn't pull through. Imagine you are Jinx. Your baby sister sacrificed herself to save you from your rampaging dad in a blast that killed her and then almost killed your big sister, who's likely idk almost electrocuted to death on the floor after saving you from trying to stop baby sister. All in one swoop you practically lost your family. No wonder she turns herself in.

And thinking about it, this is part of the reason she forgives/accepts Caitlyn. It took three doctors to save Vi. Do you know how much that must've cost? That kind of money is unfathomable for anyone in the Undercity. And Pilties do not give their money freely, especially not richie ones, for a trencher so for Caitlyn to spend that kind of money to save Vi - it must mean she cares for her a lot. So I think that's part of the reason she apologizes to Caitlyn for killing Cassandra. But it also means, that to Jinx, Caitlyn "won." She's the one that can actual save her loved ones, whereas Jinx only dooms them. Hence she gives Vi her blessing to be happy with her.

I’ve probably said this more times than I can count but while I 100% agree that it’s strange to have the female characters move clans to be with their husbands, DoveWing is not at all a good example to be using for this argument

real scene from dexter new blood

[poems-of-the-anentomologist]

suffocating 

I’m doing the dishes again

Staring into the water

At that boy

How can I call myself a girl when the face that stares back

Is just another random boy

You’d see playing on a subrban corner

My name isn’t my name

People don’t call me by my name

I’ve been cut off

From everyone

If I died tonight

Nobody would notice

Just another kid

Just another teen suicide

It’s better than the alternative

To suffocate in this form

Would be preferable

To living in a world where nobody sees me

It’s better than the alternative

God, his sister just.

Saving him.

I don’t even have a joke for that it’s so sad

Firelord Sozin’s Reign:

Firelord Sozin- Born in 42 BG and the son of Firelord Zenzo and Firelady Turan and older brother to Princess Zeisan. Former companion of Avatar Roku. Sozin ruled from 21 BG till his death in 20 AG. Sozin and Zeisan had a rocky relationship but reached a peace treaty in their early twenties as most siblings do. Sozin wanted to rule the world, but since Roku refused to let him throw the natural order of balance Sozin was unable to do anything until he left Roku to die in 2 BG. Two years later, during Sozin’s Comet he killed all the Air Nomads and on the other side of the world his son Azulon was born. Sozin died of natural causes and Azulon was crowned the next Firelord.

Princess Zeisan- Born in 40 BG as the daughter of Firelord Zenzo and Firelady Turan and younger sister to Firelord Sozin. From a young age Zeisan was her father’s favorite until she was revealed to not be a nonbender. After this she and her brother were pitted against each other until their father’s death in 58 BG. After her brother was crowned Firelord Zeisan moved North where she met an airbender by the name of Amala. After Amala’s death Zeisan moved back to the castle to raise her infant nephew Azulon, after his mother was deemed too unstable to raise him.

Firelady Nagemi- Born in 39 AG and the only daughter of a high-ranking official, Nagemi was promised to Sozin from a young age, they just ignored until she finally turned 19 and both their fathers insisted they get married. Luckily for them Zenzo ate shit and died like two years later so they never had to interact with each other very much after that except in the interest of their only son, Prince Azulon. After a family trip gone wrong, Nagemi was always interested in death and loved performing autopsies on animal carcasses. When Zeisan moved back to the palace, Nagemi had a strange fascination with her as she claimed she “had death clinging to her flesh”.

Amala (alias Rioshon)- Born in 40 BG in the Western Air Temple, Amala is an airbender. Being a late bloomer she received her tattoos at 19 and afterwards she joined the Guiding Wind, a rebel group of Air Nomads. She was traveling through the Fire Nation under the alias of Rioshon when she met Princess Zeisan. Amala is the one who first introduced Zeisan to Khandro, the leader of the Guiding Wind. Zeisan dragged her feet when it came to joining the Guiding Wind, but she trained with them and became close friends with Amala. There was a slight rough patch in their friendship when Zeisan tried to marry Khandro as a tactic to destabilize her brother as well as cause a law-binding contract so Sozin cannot attack the Air Nomads. Unfortunately before this could be officialized Sozin’s comet happened and most of the Air Nomads- including Khandro were killed. While Amala survived the initial attacks on the Air Nomads she died a few months later due to sepsis from the untreated burns.

I just know destiny was so exhausted with mystique and rogue in the house. CONSTANTLY at her limit with these stubborn dickheads always running their mouths ……

maybe it's because I'm in the "I'm so obsessed and hyperfocused on my little guys I will make any song seem like it's about them even if it couldn't be any father from actually relating to them at all" stage of my Theon and Asha hyperfixation but like...

I feel like 'I bet on losing dogs' by Mitski is about them.

it's about Asha and her relationship with Theon.

he's her baby brother. the baby brother who looked up at her smiled when she had gone in his room, intent on strangling him to stop his cries. he's her losing dog. the dog she keeps fighting for when no one else will. she never gives up on him, not truly, even when he is so clearly doomed, because she loves him, she won't give up on him.

and Theon is, in so many senses, a dog. he's been passed around from owner to owner, home to home, trained and beaten and domesticated, made to behave how his owner at the time sees fit. he's a good dog, a good beaten dog.

and now, in a way, he's Asha's dog. she doesn't want him to be her dog, she wants him to be her brother, and Theon's trying, he really is trying, she knows he's trying, but part of him will always be doomed to be a dog waiting to be hit, waiting for a command, waiting to be trained.

he's her losing dog, she knows it, knows he's doomed, deep down, there's little hope, he'll die a damned dog, but fuck it she doesn't care, he's her blood, her baby, he will be by her side no matter what. she'll always go back for him, she'll always fight for him, she'll always tell him to stay, she'll always give him a chance, she'll always try.

Hey... What do you think Mia called her Dad? Papa? Father? Daddy?

Because she must have been at least 9 or 10 when he died if not a little older. Like. She remembers him. Even if he was always outside the village for work she remembers him. Remembers Misty losing him. Had to explain to Maya, or maybe worse- never had to at all - why he wasn't there. How she got his sense of humor and his laugh and neither of them can be held tight by him anymore but she can hold Maya tight and maybe then he doesn't feel so far gone.

What did she call him? Did she love him? Did Maya ever get that chance?

In the book, written by the Duffers, Stranger Things: Worlds Turned Upside Down, the Duffers have repeatedly said that Billy Hargrove is abusive, a monster, and the Duffers compare him to Brenner. In fact, he was designed to be even more dangerous to the young heroes. To me that me that means he was definitely going to murder Lucas, then Steve, then Max before going after the other kids as well. Billy Hargrove and Henry Creel are perfect examples of victims who can also be monsters at the same time. It doesn't give them a free pass to hurt people. It just makes you understand them. Max doesn't need her abusive older stepbrother back. She has better examples for older siblings when wakes up: Steve, Robin, Nancy, Jonathan, Argyle, and Eddie. Those are the people who she deserves by her side. And for people who get mad at Max for wanting the abuse to stop: Max was the one you were supposed to root for. She was the one Billy was supposed to be responsible for, and instead, he physically and mentally hurt her. Yes, Billy was a victim, but Max was a victim too because Billy turned her into one. So many of the characters are flawed, but they're heroes who have made mistakes, and as decent people, they have made up for them. Billy isn't a good person who's just flawed. He's a villain, a human monster who did one good thing, but that one good thing doesn't make up for the circle of abuse he passed onto to Max. For him trying to kill Lucas or trying to kill Steve. Dacre Montgomery should be applauded for playing a wonderful villain, Jamie Campbell Bower, too. Don't forget that they are villians like Brenner. As much as I don't like the Duffers, this is their story, and they did do a great job with these characters as well as picking out the actors who played them. It just baffles me how people can be blind to someone's evil ways just because the character is pretty. Anyway, one more month, and we can celebrate the death of the evil villain that is Billy Hargrove.
