sansa/arya/dany, your stans could never make me hate the other two of you 💞✨
#the real reason we'll never see a dream of spring is because it is actually just a 800+ page picnic that sansa arya and dany are having#and even grrm is struggling to come up with enough food descriptions to fill that many pages#oh you have fantasies about arya killing sansa upon their reunion?#why don't you take some 'ᴛʜᴇ ꜱᴀᴍᴇ ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ꜰʟᴏᴡꜱ ᴛʜʀᴏᴜɢʜ ʙᴏᴛʜ yᴏᴜʀ ʜᴇᴀʀᴛꜱ. yᴏᴜ ɴᴇᴇᴅ ʜᴇʀ ᴀꜱ ꜱʜᴇ ɴᴇᴇᴅꜱ yᴏᴜ' and lay down for an hour#oh you think sansa is going to exile arya from the north or some adjacent bs?#maybe you should sip on some 'ɪɴ ꜱᴀɴꜱᴀ'ꜱ ᴅʀᴇᴀᴍꜱ ʜᴇʀ ᴄʜɪʟᴅʀᴇɴ ʟᴏᴏᴋᴇᴅ ᴊᴜꜱᴛ ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ʙʀᴏᴛʜᴇʀꜱ ꜱʜᴇ ʜᴀᴅ ʟᴏꜱᴛ.#ꜱᴏᴍᴇᴛɪᴍᴇꜱ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ᴡᴀꜱ ᴇᴠᴇɴ ᴀ ɢɪʀʟ ᴡʜᴏ ʟᴏᴏᴋᴇᴅ ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴀʀyᴀ' and go for a long walk to clear your head#oh you think the endgame big bad in either stark girls story is dany-another traumatized child who was victimized at the hands of grown men#how fascinating - i am taking fervent notes on your insightful points and definitely not backing away slowly towards the exit#sansa stark#arya stark#daenerys targaryen#asoiaf#got#game of thrones#a song of ice and fire

what draws you back to your country what draws you back to your land when i was a kid i told myself if i ever left iran i'd never go back 2 years into living in the UK i started looking at news on iran again 10 years in and i visited it for the first time again and today i heard an iranian mother talk in farsi to her child on the train to london the way my mother used to and i wanted to cry i wanted to ask her whether they're still cutting the mountaintops whether the lakes are still drying today i showed the person i was with pictures of waterfalls and palaces and forests and snow-white north something odd pulls me back with increasing force i can't ignore it ever again
#i just dont know how else to tell you everything !!! santoor from a different room the large family gathering the black tea with saffron#drank out of delicate glass and gold vessels cold marble on hot nights big stars big rivers big mountains#visible from busy tehran roads the ease of conversation tension eased by sarcasm tall tall cliffsides you drive by#rushing to put on headscarves before the head teacher comes in a rave by the base of damavand massive sun pastel purple skies#disjunct architecture trucks on road sides with fresh fruits pomegranates watermelons oranges everywhere#the smell of golpar on tangerines beautiful girls in tehran holding hands bautiful boys in kermanshah speaking kurdish the janky#cars on the verge of breakdown held together by love caspian sea lighting up in spring staying up into the morning on noruz#my friends uncle sang and played setar his son played the violin a little fear a lot of love remnants of something#grand carved into the cliffside everything feels bigger taller the landscape swallows you it smells like#illegally imported wine and orange blossoms and auntie's tahchin soaking your eyes in warm tea when youre sick#tomatoes and salt concrete and stone something mandmade and something raw new flag old resilience#the anger getting to us bruised eyes big grin all i know is the north i feel sorry my mother asks if id be okay#if they got a place in tajikistan we love each other enough dont we? when we look in the mirror we see each other. theres a love letter#across the border and it says I MISS YOU IM GLAD YOURE DOING BETTER itll never be the same im not okay with it at all there are no more#stars i miss jumping over big fires i miss our fireworks im sorry we cant be happy anymore everyone#leaves the mint and rosewater and sunlight for a reason.#it's not pride it's just generational regret

k sorry i’m legitimately so insane about pei ming and shi qingxuan though. pei ming as someone who’s not just a womanizer but someone responsible and dear enough to shi wudu for That Man to essentially appoint him as qingxuan’s guardian should anything happen to him… for pei ming to take that responsibility on whole-heartedly, trying to protect shi qingxuan and keep them out of trouble and lead them on the right path even from the very beginning of the story… he’s trying to keep her out of the whole mess with pei su he’s trying to make sure that she does what she needs to do to survive in heaven (she has never learned that one needs to be cruel and unjust to advance because her brother has done all the unjust cruelty for her) he’s trying to make sure that he fulfills that trust that was placed in him and that’s all before there’s even a hint of anything that would incapacitate shi wudu. and sqx sees this and she must know at least some of it but she hates him. just doesn’t like his personality. i am out of my fucking miiiind
#and then neither of them end up being able to fulfill their promise to shi wudu.#pei ming can’t protect her. shi qingxuan doesn’t let herself be protected by him.#and then in the very end it’s shi wudu who enacts the ultimate betrayal of his own requests anyway…#anyway. shi qingxuan who loves her awful brother but can’t stand his awful friend.#i don’t even know how to describe shi wudu and pei ming’s relationship but shi qingxuan sees it and goes 🙄#but goddddd from the very very beginning you can see their relationship!#they are so tangentially related to each other and so important and yet unimportant to each other…#they’re both representations of a part of the other person’s relationship with shi wudu#and like. what do you do when your brother appoints his awful brother as your secondary guardian and that guy starts trying to fulfill that.#and that guy is general ming giang god of the north and god of love and known womanizer. and you are a girl with strong moral values.#i don’t even know how to express what i feel about them it drives me fucking insane though#talking#tgcf#tian guan ci fu#pei ming#shi qingxuan#tgcf sqx#tgcf s2#tgcf spoilers#i guess? i mean. i tend to think that we’ve all read the book at this point. but perhaps that is not true fjskfjd#beefleaf arc spoilers

#she's also my niece but i have to mentally separate that out when i'm nannying because otherwise i go into auntie mode and forget i'm like#supposed to be enforcing some basic rules and not being a pushover#the traits that make an amazing aunt make a terrible nanny it turns out#yeah no she's spoiled#this morning she woke up & immediately hopped in my lap and jammed her freezing cold popsicle hands into my neck#“i cold” girl me too tf#it's 43 degrees f outside#if you're from the north don't come into my notes talking about how 43 isn't cold okay i know i grew up in alaska#but i'm a weakass now i've lived in the southern us for the past like ten years#(you can absolutely bully me in the notes btw that tag was a joke i do acknowledge my weakassery)#abby's feral liveblog

So we're ok, we're fine
Baby I'm here to stop your crying
Chase all the ghosts from your head
I'm stronger than the monster beneath your bed
Smarter than the tricks played on your heart
Look at them together then we'll take them apart
Adding up the total of a love that's true
Multiply life by the power of two
#love notes#indigo girls#power of two#hey babe i know things seem hard#but with me by your side we'll make it easier#together we'll drive up north to that quiet little town#we'll get away from it all for awhile

i’ve said it before but i think it’s easy for the chess club to forget that jessamine spent a large portion of her life in the circle until she just … makes mention of something like. supremely fucked up that happened in the circle, and everyone is just . . . sorry, what?
#especially because most of them are from the north which#many of the circles up north do not operate like others#jess: shares what she remembers as a fun little anecdote#everyone: …….. hey.#well she’ll share it Like It’s a Fun Little Anecdote but. it is horrifying and she remembers it as such#coping with humor etc#jessamine: oh yes the first girl i ever kissed failed her harrowing and i had to live the next ten or so years with the shell of her#wandering about the circle…tranquil#everyone: uh -#tranquility tw

college students next to me having a discussion about what constitutes latinidad and their defining point of it is that the person must speak spanish. you are NOT serious people. lunch ruined
#they are putting Anya Taylor Joy as an example because quoting them she speaks spanish unlike other people#meanwhile she grew up as a very posh person in england and regularly gets casted to play explicitly white european women?#see: the north man#and rumor has it she was apparently a bully growing up in england. which doesn't sound like the behavior of someone#who grows up othered because of their place of origin but instead someone with enough social capital to get away with that#within a global sphere she's obviously seen and she's had the experiences of a white woman#so yes she was born in LatAm and has argentinian parents and speaks spanish but socially and culturally a person like this#is very removed from a latinoamerican context given that she's integrated into european society and received as their own#but since speaking spanish is the defining factor according to them she's just like us ... girl ...#sorry this was not the part that pissed me off but when they arrived at this point it's when I knew the plot was lost

thinking once again about the discord gag of mira coming to marriageable age well before her cousins and so at feasts a lot of lower houses and third or fourth sons all crowd her table as she just thousand yard stares and tries in vain to telepathically link with one of her cousins 'save me.' the bole boy is about to bore her to tears and smallj0n is going to put his fist through the table slamming alcohol and sharing news of his daring feats.
#crack //#make no mistake: the bastard of a long dead unlanded heir carries no intrinsic worth.#less so because her mother is from a house on the outs with their own liege lords outside the north.#but she does have the distinction of being brought up in her reigning uncle's court. that counts for something.#that's a chance for laterborn sons and minor houses to get closer to their lord.#the girl is drowning. what do you mean it's this or her aunt flirting with sending her to the sept --

Me when I ravenously devour one (1) book and immediately raid my bookshelf for more

#lunar lullabies#yes 6/8 of these are about dragons#the book I just finished was really fun and interesting!#and surprisingly queer#i was going into it just thinking ‘ooo book about dragons in a fictionalised version of 19th century north america from a native pov#by a native author?? AND it’s got maps and a pronunciation guide?? oh baby!’#and then the protagonist ends up in the early stages of a bisexual poly relationship with a native boy and a black girl#very juicy i love it
