James McAvoy as Borros Baratheon

Rain soaked the both of them right to the skin, silver hair hanging dankly in the boy’s face as he pulled back to look up at Borros with a reddened eye. Borros gently squeezed the nape of his neck, thumb applying pressure to the top of the boy’s spine. “Why can’t I do it?” The boy sniffled softly, and Borros felt his heart splinter. “I know all of this, Ser Criston taught me and - and I can’t do it.” 

Borros patted Aemond’s upper shoulder with a large hand. “There is no such thing as can’t. I will not allow that, do you hear me?” Aemond nodded. “But there is such a thing as having to slow down. There is absolutely no shame in that. Every warrior has their moments of need, and this one is yours.” His fingers squeezed Aemond’s shoulder one more time as he lifted Aemond’s hand to rest upon his own chest. “This wound will heal, Aemond. But it will always ache. I think you know that.”

Had to ban the phrase “tricky dick” from my classroom during watergate lesson because saying the word dick in front of 30 fifteen year olds is like lighting a bomb and throwing it through the doorway but now they’re just calling him Richard the Treacherous like they’re all medieval peasants. gonna lose it

People are truly so afraid of liking ugly characters. you see it all the time with Arya specifically, but also targs who all have to be The Prettiest. Rhaenyra femininity discourse comes to mind (and of course there's a lot to say there about equating beauty with femininity / gender conforming but that's a whole other thing). Arya is definitely the most egregious example though. Like, so many of her fans feel compelled to find whatever evidence they can (or can make up) that Actually she's extremely pretty or will be extremely pretty or pretty by the north standards or pretty by our real world standards or whatever, and I truly think that they just can't conceive of liking a character who's not pretty, or worse, ugly. Some of it is equating beauty with goodness (which is wild, especially when it comes to asoiaf as and its themes as a series) and some of it is just... they can't like a character who's ugly. I don't know if it's a self insert thing, a patriarchal thing, a misogyny / internalized misogyny thing or what. So when you say Arya is not pretty, or 'worse', ugly, they take it as an insult to her worth in-story and to her worth as a character, as if not being pretty means she's not written well

the reason asoiaf adaptations visually flop is they dont let the men wear medieval bob haircuts and tights

Did you have a poll on which Austen couple was most likely to anticipate their vows? I swear I saw one on tumblr once but I’m having trouble finding it in your poll tag. It might have been someone else entirely, for which I apologize for bothering you!

I don't think I've ever made that poll, though I do have a post about it. Anyway, here you go! Not bothersome at all, fun.

The answer is not Darcy & Elizabeth, it really isn't. I promise you. Please. It is not them. I beg. I entreat. Do not click upon them. They are only included for completeness.
