It’s Cold Here

Like he takes winterfell and then he’s like oh shit how tf am i going to defend it. ‘Oh let me ask for help from my sister. Ugh my sister doesn’t want to help me and is even telling me to leave winterfell. She’s such a bitch, does she not see THAT I AM the prince of winterfell now. she doesn’t realize the greatness I have achieved. Hmm I keep having these horrible nightmares while sleeping in the now dead eddard chambers, oh well let me not read too much into these dreams. Soo, i still need help to keep holding winterfell so let me turn too… ah of course let me trust this really untrustworthy guy named reek who kinda gives me the creeps. Well this dude still hasn’t returned and ser Rodrick is literally right outside my doors so i guess its time to surrender. OMG THE REINFORCEMENTS CAME let me open the doors i need to thank them for serving the prince of winterfell, which is me. See everything worked out great. I still have winterfell so fuck all my haters who said I couldn’t do it, especially you asha! Well shit this reek guy is actually the bastard ramsay and i just got my shit rocked and im just lying on the ground. Where on gods earth did it all go wrong surely this didn’t happen because of my decisions?’

Anytime, Tyrion is around his family I feel so bad because if he were born without any disabilities Tywin would value him so much more. If he was ‘normal’ he would have probably been well respected and loved by people. Like Tyrion’s downfall ever since birth has been his disability—something that he can’t ever control.

Also Jon’s internal struggles is because of the way he was born. I understand Jon and Tyrion. You guys get treated unfairly for things you can’t control😞

Dany has been my least favorite pov chapters so far. Which is kind of disappointing since I went in reading thinking I would really enjoy them😭 All the pov chapters have been great but hers are the ones I have least enjoyed overall

Obviously, I think her ending chapter of got and the house of the undying chapter were great but other than that idk i feel meh when it comes to her chapters😞 and it feels weird because so far I’ve pretty much enjoyed every pov character chapter(tyrion’s chapters can be a little boring but most of them are good imo. Like I know dany is a good and interesting character but I haven’t liked her povs that much. (I do not hate her okay!)

I did reread GOT so her chapters felt better to enjoy but then she barely appears in acok and its just like disappointing. Maybe its that she feels so far removed from whats going on in the story or that i just finished reading acok where she barely appears.

I have been enjoying her chapters so far in asos so i hope I continue to enjoy them🙏

With AO3 being down I just wanted to talk about how worrying it is that there have been journalists/articles that are sharing links to fics and actors are also talking about fanfiction. This is being used as a way to promote shows/media. This is incredibly wrong for so many reasons

1. These articles/Journalists are linking the work of fanfic authors. These authors, im 100% were not made aware of that their fanfics are being shared as a way to promote a show.

2. Fanfic authors on AO3 do not profit from their work. In fact I believe AO3 strongly discourages authors from having a patreon linked to their fics. On AO3 fanfic work is FREE yet some articles are using these fanfics to promote other media. This is literally capitalism. An author is making something for free YET others are making money because they are using the free work of others as promotion.

3. Adding on to point 1&2 there are scary implications to using fanfic as a way to promote films/shows. What if companies/studios suddenly decide to start writing fanfic just as a way to promote. That’s literally insane but if it makes them money they do not care.

4. This invites a mass amount of people onto AO3. Now I love fanfic and I love when others discover it too BUT PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE DISCOVERING SUCH A PLATFORM FROM JOURNALISTS OR ACTORS. People need to find out on their own.

5. Adding on to my last point. You are inviting people who have no idea what fandom etiquette means. On AO3 you will come across a variety of fics some you might like and some that to you are ‘problematic’. But what do you do when you see tags that trigger you. You ignore it or even mute the tag. ‘DNI’ Do not interact. Don’t read if you don’t like. These new incomers do not UNDERSTAND THAT. Hell, some people who have been reading fanfic still don’t get that through their heads.

I like jjk I really do and I like Maki too but saying that the Clan massacre was way better than Itachi’s storyline regarding the clan massacre is bizzare. Naruto as an anime has its faults but JJK is not better than Naruto(Naruto is a very popular anime for a reason).

“Dude, I like really love you.”

“I really love you too…Dude”

“Don’t call me dude, dude. I just confessed. You’re supposed to be calling me one of those disgustingly mushy names couples give each other”

“Hmm thought you didn’t like all that mushy stuff. Should I call you sweetheart, darling, my love, honey, or maybe…babe?

“…Don’t call me babe.”

Oh!🤨So when you see k*lling in fiction you feel like k*lling in real life. When you see abuse in fiction, you feel like abusing in real life. When you see guns in fiction, you want to get a gun in real life. When you see pseudocest/inc*st in fiction, you want to f*ck your sibling(s) in real life. When you see assault in fiction, you feel life assaulting someone in real life. When you see a villian doing heinous acts in fiction, you want to commit crimes in real life. When you see any sort of violence in fiction, you want violence in real life too . When you see a character be an assh*ole in fiction, you feel like being an assh*ole in real life. You’re a very weird person if you feel like fiction will affect who you are in real life.

Now if you’re a hard believer of “fiction affects reality” and want everything in fiction to be moral, then I can assume that, one, you are a minor and can’t consume media in a safe manner so you shouldn’t even be in these spaces or two, you’re a mentally unwell person who should see a psychiatrist/Phycologist.

Or the secret 3rd option: You have a very smooth brain with no common sense and a superiority complex.

I honestly think its the opposite: “reality affects fiction”. For example if violence wasn’t a concept in real life and all we ever knew was peace how in the world could we write about something that we’ve never seen or heard of or experienced. All media takes elements from real life(whether big or small)even if the stuff written is scifi/fantasy/etc.
