mostly inactive now, sorry!

every single “they should have been smacked more” is a crazy take tho like the joffrey one feels particularly wild because not one but two people talk about robert nearly slapping him to death as a baby and are clearly freaked out by the incident, but people will say it about cersei & theon too and it’s like. u think MORE domestic violence would have made cersei stable?? rodrik cassell straight up says “i should have killed you as a kid” completely ignoring that the cavalier way theon’s life and death is treated when he’s a child is exactly the reason why he’s insane. none of the books are particularly subtle about this and yet!

Hey you guys I read this series that dissects the way living in a violent society messes people up to the point where they can't be emotionally functional in adult life or any of their interpersonal relationships and thus perpetuate that violence onto others and I think the takeaway is all the people that went off the rails as a direct result of this horrific system should have actually been thrown against a wall full force as a baby like one of those green sticky hands.

“walt wants the power gus has and gus wants the love and family walt has and neither can have both” one of the biggest brained breaking bad takes ever

Russian orthodox monks watching through all of breaking bad in utter silence until the final scene, in which they start weeping because walter was punished for his profound form of worship found within the pursuit of the talent granted to him by god
