the gods have fashioned us for love

on this tully tuesday, fuck you ryan condal, i see what you're doing. merging kermit and oscar tully and killing off their dad elmo without even naming him, you're trying to hide the muppet-naming pattern by only including the more mundane names. people may have heard of the name grover elsewhere like nonconsective us president grover cleveland, and certainly would with oscar like oscar mayar, the baloney/weiner man, but if you hear the names elmo and/or kermit you're thinking muppets right away. smdh, if you can embrace the gothic horror of harrenhal, you should be able to embrace the whimsy of grrm naming his dance-era tullys after sesame street muppets.

somedays i just feel that is me and dolourous edd against the world

idk why everyone’s so worried about the kingsmoot they literally said no godless man shall sit the seastone chair🙄

by the drowned god this can’t be happening

yeah i didn’t get to read a lot of The Classics in high school but my lit class’ mysterious focus on bleak and weird southern gothic modernism DID force me age seventeen to have to grow up and get comfortable talking about why incest and rotting through the floor and rat king level psychosexual enmeshment/dessiccation were thematically significant to the text and there to make a point instead of just being like. ew yuck. weird experience to have in public high school but all of that did crack my brain WIDE open as a literature understander
