Who knew it’d be so hard to get my hands on ‘Eros and P*rnography in Russian Culture’ the 1991 classic.

Westeros fashion studies: The North

"The north, or the North, or the winterlands is one of the constituent regions of Westeros and was a sovereign nation ruled by Kings in the North before Aegon's Conquest. The largest region of the Seven Kingdoms, the dominion of House Stark extends from the border of the New Gift, which is controlled by the Night's Watch, to the southern edge of the Neck far to the south.

The north has been ruled by the Starks for thousands of years from the castle known as Winterfell. The only city in the region is White Harbor, while the most prominent northern towns are the winter town and Barrowton. Notable bannermen of the region include Bolton, Cerwyn, Dustin, Flint, Glover, Hornwood, Karstark, Manderly, Mormont, Reed, Ryswell, Tallhart, and Umber. Bastards of noble origin raised in the north are given the surname Snow."

Serbian Language

Ljudi preziru sve one koji ne uspiju, a mrze one koji se uspnu iznad njih; Navikni se na prezir ako želis mir, ili na mržnju ako pristaneš na borbu... People despise all those who fail, and hate those who rise above them; Get used to the feeling of contempt if you want peace, or that of hatred if you decide to fight...

– Meša Selimović (1910-1982)

I will be taking my last Russian exam (actually the last exam of my bachelor's baby!!) in a few days, my final dissertation will be related to Russia, and honestly studying it has had a significant impact on my life in many ways.

So I was thinking... why did I choose to learn it, back then? Of course I find it to be a mesmerizing language, but the thing is, at the time, one of the reasons was that I had already taken a Russian course at like 14 so it seemed only natural to "keep" learning it.

And so, why had I decided to take that course? Because of Yuri!!! On Ice. Because I was so obsessed with Viktor that I had started looking into the language and actually loved it. But yes, it all originated from fucking Yuri!!! On Ice.

I guess that's my personal butterfly effect?? From watching Yuri!!! On Ice to graduating as a linguistics major with Russian as one of the main languages. Yeah.

the music in WOT is never random. even if it's just very soft background music, it's relevant to the scene. practically every time there's music playing while egwene is onscreen during s2, the tune is egwene's theme, rearranged and reinstrumentated in dozens of different ways to match the tone of the particular scene. mat has quick little snippets of his theme tune play during various scenes of his, often mixed with the old blood theme from s1, and it finally blares out in full glory for the first time during the horn of valere scene, to parallel how mat is truly finding himself for the first time. even secondary characters like liandrin, siuan, and aviendha have their own dedicated theme tunes that play during their scenes and are never repurposed as background music in other characters' scenes. and all the themes have lyrics in the old tongue that suit the character or concept the theme is about! in conclusion, lorne balfe is truly doing the Most, and i'm so grateful he's the composer for WOT and i hope he'll return for every season the show goes for.
