haunt me then

sometimes I remember that Cersei and Tyrion are chasing and earning the Masculinity that is denied to them (Cersei because she was born a woman, Tyrion because he was born disabled) by becoming increasingly more Violent, exactly like the Manly Men who abused them (Tywin, Robert), and i feel like I need a cigarette. and I don't even smoke

GRRM is in fact really good at making up top tier characters i will use the starklings to illustrate the point okay you got: 1) high school freshman King Arthur stars in a shakespearean tragedy, as told by his mom; 2) local moody teenaged Starbucks night shift manager must do his very best to stop the zombie apocalypse through the power of friendship; 3) a middle schooler who keeps her sparkly butterfly gel pens in perfect rainbow order at all times is being held hostage by her evil middle school boyfriend and his evil blonde mafia family; 4) a scrappy but poorly-supervised middle-grade book protagonist bops about a war-zone looking for her family but instead! learns about Death; 5) paraplegic fourth grader Frodo Baggins receives mystical visions and must go on a quest to see a hundred-year-old tree guy; and 6) kindergartener that Bites

asoiaf modern au where Arya's in elementary school and Jaqen's the weird-ass janitor who keeps telling her cryptic stuff about death. she talks to him about everyone and they all assume that she has an imaginary friend. one day he gets fired for poisoning arya's elementary school teacher

Ι think that the beauty of Sansa's character lies on the fact that Cersei and Littlefinger tried to teach her their cynic and pessimistic view of the world but she didn't accept it. She still believes in kindness and she's gonna grow up to be the antithesis of those two characters ( she already is) and that's beautiful.

music au. cersei is a washed up former pop idol. margaery is the new face of pop. dany’s contract has finally ended and she pivots to acoustic and/or punk. the starks are a novelty family band like the trapp family but sansa wants to do acoustic singer songwriter and arya wants to do heavy metal and robb is battling the troy bolton dilemma of music or sports. theon is the westeros equivalent of drain gang. tyrion is in a ska band.
