Food For Thought:

A quick look at the comics confirms that the $800 stipend was indeed the original number, and maybe that would have been a large, if not decent amount in the 80s, its chump change in this capitalist hellscape we have in the New 20s

My only real complaint with S1 so far (I haven't finished the season yet) is that Jed's foster father's motive is the $800 a month.

That's not even enough to live on. I seriously doubt Cape Kennedy's cost of living is so low that this stipend is worth it. (Especially if you look at the standard of living the foster parents have. I mean, the phone's probably as old as they are.)

This is the most unrealistic motive I've ever heard of.

If you're going to make greed a character's motive, at least make it enough money to be worthwhile.

I love this! And if would make perfect sense if this were the case; the Gelfling are the race "closest to Thra", so being a land of magic and wonder the Seven clans could have slowly evolved to take on traits that made them more adapted to their environment.

been thinking about animal inspired gelfling clans:

vapra - reindeer

sifa - otter

drenchen - crocodile & amphibian

stonewood - deer

grottan - bat

dousan - cheetah

spriton - hare

Hopes for The Last

Can we see how Anko got fat?

Genuine question from someone who has only read "Thrones" and the first handful of chapters in "Clash of Kings": has Arya shown *any* interest whatsoever in ruling? I thought her main personal theme was about freedom and identity, and her slipping into chaining herself to vengeance and letting her anger twist her runs counter to both, stealing her freedom and identity away, and thus must be overcome.

If that is indeed the case, then how can folks say they are Arya fans while ignoring her central, series wide arc?

Ok this is very random but it has being bothering me for a while. The stans use the “you’ll marry a king” line as foreshadowing for Queen @rya but even if it were...here’s the thing: when you marry a king you are a queen consort. No power, you are only there to provide heirs and your standing hangs on your husband’s will. Ask Anne Boleyn how much her position as Queen protected her once her husband got tired of her. Heck, even in universe we see poor Ellia completely vulnerable once Rathgar humiliated her in public.

Married to a king would put @rya in a similar position to Ellia Martell or Cersei. The only power Cersei has right now hangs by the thread of Tommen’s life. Her kingdom is falling apart already and when he dies she will fall like a house of cards. Wives of kings do not rule on their own.

Sansa on the other hand will rule on her own right as the oldest sister of King Robb, the last King in the North. Her position as Queen does not depend on any man, her power comes from her Stark name and not a marriage, therefore she can marry -or not- freely.

So, you know, that foreshadowing is not exactly what they think it is.

> not exactly what they think it is.

Arya fandom in a nutshell.

Let em know @minitafan! Bravo.

That fandom forever clinging to that passage is the most hilarious thing I’ve ever seen. Can you imagine how hard they have to work to look past her father talking about one of his children sailing the Sunset Sea sentences before? That has to be a struggle, I don’t envy them.

Sailor Moon is going to sail the ocean blue, and they can die mad about it.

Friendly reminder that direwolves were very very real in case anyone thinks Neil or George made them up:

Sorry if this has been asked before, but was Lucifer's "I am a dire wolf?" a reference to GOT because of Gwendoline Christie?

Not unless the Dire Wolves in GOT were George’s reference to Sandman. That’s from the original (1989) comic.

At least we'll have Kit and Emilia's bewildered expressions to that joke of a finale 😁

Comedy gold

Show Dany wasn't a charmer. The characters are either dumb down to make them follow her or are smart enough to know what kind of person she is. She wasn't that complex character. Infact her villain arc gave her some depth.

It's painful how stupid everyone had to become. We always focus on Jon, but so many characters had to be lobotomized to make it work.

Not Sansa though! :D

Reblog if you believe trans rights are human rights.

Look at this distinguished gentleman. Look at the way he is reading the paper, mmmyessh, very distinguished.

COS Edward, for @suiilee ,for no particular reason. With glasses, also for no reason, I just like to give people glasses. @suiilee you keep reminding me of COS, I will need to watch it again soon. I remember when the movie first came out I loved that he had a pony tail - that was before he had one in the manga. Those were the days, eh? P.S. get sticker here
