Now and Always

I’m so sorry for wasting your dash space with this long af shitpost insinuating that GoT ripped off a famous YA scifi series, but I gotta spread the word.

Anyways. First off, here’s Jon Snow Katniss Everdeen, the gloomy young person everyone keeps pushing into leadership positions even though she keeps saying she doesn’t want them

Towards the end of the last movie, the evil dictator current President surrounds his mansion with civilians, especially children, in order to “protect” them during the rebel attack on the city

However, the president of the rebels flies overhead and bombs the defenseless people anyway

That ends the war. So, afterwards, Katniss is talking to this dude who’s basically Cersei except not dead, but that isn’t relevant to this comparison, and he’s like “lol your president’s a tyrant as well. She played the game and she won. She’s the one who killed all those innocents, and she’s gonna keep this country under her tyrannical rule. She’s the new big bad.”

and the brooding young hero’s like “uhhh no it ain’t like that bruh”

and he’s like “lol bitch stop lying to yourself, yeah she is. Burning people is bad, and she burned a ton of people, sooo…”

and Katniss is like “oh shit.” So the rebel president’s up giving this big speech about how she’s going to end all injustice and tyranny and stuff

so then Katniss is like “time to die”  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(Holy fuck, this shit’s, like, shot-for-shot now that I’m looking at them next to each other. What the fuck. Like I was sort of joking when I started this post, but I’m convincing myself now)

So then everyone’s like “THAT ASSHOLE KILLED OUR LEADER!!!” But half the people want Katniss dead and half of them are like “but she’s a war hero…” She’s sitting in her little cell, wondering what they’re gonna do with her, and Woody Harrelson shows up and is like “here’s what we’re gonna do. We’re gonna kick you out to the far edges of the country…”

“…where you will live with your friends forever, and never have another responsibility again. I mean, your family’s not around anymore since half of them are dead and the other half live far away, but that’s it. Big fucking punishment”

Oh, yeah, then towards the end they mention how Phillip Seymore Lannister, the adviser of the president Katniss killed, is now the new president’s adviser, and Woody Harrelson’s like “Damn, he played the game and he won”

(And Gwendoline Christie + Natalie Dormer were there, so that settles it)

Jon & Sansa parallels 36/∞ : Bastard foreshadowings ?

“Come back to me after you’ve fathered a few bastards of your own, and we’ll see how you feel.“Jon trembled. ”I will never father a bastard,“ he said carefully. “Never!” He spat it out like venom. - A Game of Thrones, Jon I

“The queen will never let you go, never. You are too valuable a hostage. And Joffrey … sweetling, he is still king. If he wants you in his bed, he will have you, only now it will be bastards he plants in your womb instead of trueborn sons.” - A Clash of Kings, Sansa VIII

“You are a free man now, and Ygritte is a free woman. What dishonor if you lay together?” “I might get her with child.” “Aye, I’d hope so. A strong son or a lively laughing girl kissed by fire, and where’s the harm in that?” Words failed him for a moment. “The boy … the child would be a bastard.” “Are bastards weaker than other children? More sickly, more like to fail?” “No, but—” “You’re bastard-born yourself. And if Ygritte does not want a child, she will go to some woods witch and drink a cup o’ moon tea. You do not come into it, once the seed is planted.” “I will not father a bastard.” - A Storm of Swords, Jon II

“You’re to marry Margaery!” “A king can have other women. Whores. My father did. One of the Aegons did too. The third one, or the fourth. He had lots of whores and lots of bastards.” As they whirled to the music, Joff gave her a moist kiss. “My uncle will bring you to my bed whenever I command it.“Sansa shook her head. “He won’t.” - A Storm of Swords, Sansa III

Ygritte was with him, laughing at him, shedding her skins till she was naked as her name day, trying to kiss him, but he couldn’t, not with his father watching. He was the blood of Winterfell, a man of the Night’s Watch. I will not father a bastard, he told her. I will not. I will not. - A Storm of Swords, Jon VI
