lets do some medical roleplay. youre my doctor & you have to perform some minor surgery on me but this is the 18th century & theres no anaesthetic so i go into shock & die. yes of course its still sexual

Brienne who has to dress up in male armour and Jaime who used to dress up as a girl as a child

AFFIRMATIONS BEFORE TONIGHT. fire and blood is not a real book. ryan condal is my close personal friend. fire and blood does not have a story house of the dragon does have a story. alys rivers psychic brain blast. fire and blood is not a real book. the harrenhal bloodcurse loves me. fire and blood is not a real book.

and honestly it's just fucking insane that every time we try to talk about harm to children in particular we have to talk circles around the fact that these things are very, very overwhelmingly done by parents/family members/teachers/religious leaders/known and trusted adults in a position of power over a child, to the extent that many people's suggested solution to child abuse is "give the people most likely to abuse a child EVEN MORE strangling legal and material power over the kid"

you're not supposed to actually address who is abusing children and what can be done to give those children recourse and the ability to leave abusive situations because nobody actually gives a shit about child abuse beyond the familial property rights violation it represents to them and the cudgel against minorities which it can be turned into

if we put aside all personal preferences and character stan wars and are honest with ourselves there just isn't any way to do "evil mad villain daenerys" without it being a painfully insulting conservative fantasy of misogynistic tripe. I am all for examining the impacts, horrors, necessity, and nature of violence through a subversion of a traditional fantasy story (what if aragorn was a 15 year old girl and also ruling was hard and fuck you I do want to know her tax policy, etc etc). what I am not interested in is the same anti-revolutionary pro-status quo MCU-esque handwringing disguised as yet another faux-deep "really makes you think 🤔🤔🤔" thinkpiece that I've already seen a thousand times. game of thrones the tv show already gave us the pathetic crazy infertile woman spurned and killed by her love interest when she got too emotional and wanted to end slavery Too Much storyline and I don't know if you remember but it was infamously bad. so it's wild to me that people still think that's not only the way it will but apparently should go. forget the looming narrative threat of cold lifeless apathy in horrific ice zombie form that's been built up for 5 books, that's small potatoes. the Real villain is the teen sexual abuse survivor doomed to go mad because of a family history of mental illness. I am very progressive

must feel good as fuck to curse a prince for being rude to you while you were larping as an old woman for no reason

easy to forget but book jon snow is great actually. he gets so drunk he cries in his first chapter. he's 16 years old and laser focused on loan negotiation. he keeps getting promoted against his will. he's the chosen fantasy protagonist with the worst genre awareness ever. he implements pro immigration social reforms. he has a giant albino pet wolf. he cuts a guy's head off. he thinks he invented cunnilingus. he's been dead for 15 years.

modern joncon gets viral for being asked those is it better to speak or to die videos in the street and by (accidentally) not responding while just staring at the camera with his anguished demeanor so people think that was an intentional poetic response
