hello. coming out of my cage and i've been doing just fine.
will be on here very very sporadically but i have a queue going for now <3 please always feel free to inform me of anything i've missed if relevant to my interests (and even if not... who knows what new thing i will get into next if you pitch it to me convincingly enough) or if you need moral support for your creative pursuits or something else entirely.
love you, little tumblr crowd

something biblical about fratricide and rotten fruit…

Najwan Darwish, tr. by Kareem James Abu-Zeid, from Exhausted on the Cross; “Our Defeated Banner”
[Text ID: “If I could come back, / I wouldn’t come under any other banner. / I’d still embrace you / with two severed hands. / I don’t want wings in paradise, / I just want your graves by the river. / I want eternity at the breakfast table / with the bread and oil. / I want you— / earth, / my defeated banner.”]
the sword scene

I'm 20 minutes into the film btw
ASOIAF questions!!! 9, 11, 13, 23, and 25 <3
Waves, hello there, thank you for the questions! <3 (Also a general ASOIAF spoiler warning for anyone who needs it)
9. Build your small council with any characters dead or alive
Hand of the King: Brandon the Builder (love a man who understands the importance of infrastructure)
Master of Coin: Wyman Manderly
Master of Ships: Some Redwyne for the booze
Master of Laws: Ned Stark?
Master of Whisperers: Get my girl Tyene Sand on the case
Lord Commander of the Kingsguard: Barristan <3
Grand Maester: Spot reserved for Alleras. It will be a good time
This is an oddly difficult question omg. All subject to change because at this point it's just "who would be okay as coworkers I guess". Apply within!
11. Favorite bastard
Mya Stone ❤️ I enjoy pondering the physical and sociological landscape of the Vale through her eyes. And something about her biological father having lived in the Eyrie and made the trek up to it many times also... yet for her that is the end of the line, she doesn't get to go home to that castle in the sky. Not that she wants or needs to, but. It also makes me kinda emotional whenever I think about the fact she met Ned, Cat, and Sansa at different points in her life...
13. A death that still hurts to think about
I don't think a death made me feel as indignant about it as Cat's death. Stark family deaths in ASOIAF are all upsetting to me but reading the end of Storm of Swords for the first time actually made me livid
23. Two characters you need to interact
Alannys and Theon :( Accepted it not happening, though.
25. A crackship?
UMM not necessarily a shippy ship and more of a silly scenario but the Greyjoy siblings and Stannis. I need Theon to turn on the good ol' Theon "charm" and annoy talk his way out of being shackled to the wall in Stannis' temporary office and his death penalty and leave Stannis to stare blankly at the now-empty space on his wall wondering what the hell came over him to give in like that. Asha doing similar to get Theon out of there is also on the plate
