#the greyjoy gender post got me pondering

[daenystheedreamer]

gender grotesquerie. asoiaf auth. gurm martin..... brienne the beauty. the bear and the maiden fair. cersei if only i bore the sword and jaime the dress. cersei essentially roleplaying robert during her sexual encounter with taena in explicitly violent terms, but through which she finds empowerment. ironborn masculinity and femininity in explicitly domineering terms. theon may be a man but he’s bedecked like a whore he has whored himself for the starks he is bent over he is on his knees he is not a man. asha who wields her axe, her husband, more a son than theon. asha who fucks qarl the maid prettier than a girl. theon who has been literally emasculated yet he’s theon greyjoy my name is theon. theon driven by his lusts defined by his lusts. theon and kyra, theon and ramsay. killed the miller’s wife’s sons, was probably a boy himself. maegor 13 years old married off to a woman double his age praised for his prowess. jon who should have been visenya. rhaenyra. arya. anyway.
