Someone Once Put One Of Those Speech Bubble Photos Of Matty Healy (british Band Frontman Ive Only Heard

someone once put one of those speech bubble photos of matty healy (british band frontman i’ve only heard of bc he’s obnoxious and racist towards asian women) under one of my textposts and all the reblogs after that were like ‘lol this is soo matty’ ‘he would say this’ circle of hell

between reference to rolling the stone from in front of the tomb being crucified AND dying for your sins ‘taylor swift thinks she is literally the second coming of christ’ sounds like a joke but isnt

15 min into my first watch of American psycho and I already want to kill like I really really want to kill him

Juste finished spn S1 and my suspicions have been proved true like I would kill without hesitation for you two , dad wouldn't say that he is proud of me, you ain't my father I am paraphrasing but boy if this isn't 100% what being an older daughter is about.

And his discussion with demon dad like : he always liked sam more, stop him dad please dad please, like I am not alright what the hell

First watch of supernatural, arrived at season 1 ep 10, and Dean Winchester eldest daughter syndrome is triggering like there should be a warning before that shit

Hold on @visenyaism we don't know if they physically won in the book (or do we I am starting to doubt) anyway I think witchcraft won them that battle.

one of the first physical descriptors given of jon snow is in the comparison between him and robb, wherein robb is singled out as being the stronger (and is later called "strong" again when carrying bran up some stairs). so if jon is out here casually pulling giant spears out of the frozen ground which other men struggled to handle in teams…what incredible feats could robb stark have been capable of. why didn't he standing long jump across the hall at the red wedding to beat up walder frey

ned who was raised alongside child robert baratheon watching robb and jon throw theon clear across the yard during a snowball fight: yea thats about how strong a child should be this checks out

A Defense of Viserra Targaryen

I just realized I've never actually collected these thoughts in one place, so it's time for me to do so.

This is the main quote from F&B used as character evidence for Viserra:

No squire was ever going to win Viserra, Queen Alysanne knew; not her heart, and certainly not her maidenhead. She was far too sly a child to go down the same path as her sister Saera. "She has no interest in kissing games, nor boys," the queen told Jaehaerys. "She plays with them as she used to play with her puppies, but she would no more lie with one than with a dog. She aims much higher, our Viserra. I have seen the way she preens and prances around Baelon. That is the husband she desires, and not for love of him. She wants to be the queen."

EXCEPT PRINCE AEMON IS STILL ALIVE AND HEALTHY. BAELON IS NOT THE HEIR. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO INDICATION FOR VISERRA THAT MARRYING BAELON WOULD MAKE HER THE QUEEN. ALYSANNE WOULD HAVE NO REASON TO BELIEVE THIS.

So, what gives?

Maybe this is a situation of "George forgot." He's infamously bad with numbers, after all. Maybe he got his timelines mixed up, and didn't realize that Prince Aemon outlives Viserra by five years and Baelon isn't the heir at the time of her death.

Except Fire & Blood is deliberately written as an in-universe history, and we're supposed to treat it as such, with the understanding that some of what Archmaester Gyldayn says is biased or not 100% accurate. This quote is supposedly from Alysanne to Jaehaerys. Who would have heard this? Who would have written it down? Combine that with the straight up factually incorrect information it's based upon, and this has the makings of an apocryphal quote from a bad source. The factual error undercuts the validity of this entire section, and I don't think it can be blindly accepted as proof of Viserra's character.

So, onto the Baelon incident.

(note: the entire existence of the Baelon Incident can also be called into question, given that Gyldayn begins that section with "if court gossip can be believed." We are not all maesters at the Citadel with access to his bibliography and primary sources, though, so I'll leave that alone for now and choose to treat it as fact.)

Here are our facts: Viserra Targaryen is 15 years old. Her parents have arranged a marriage to an old Northern Lord who has been widowed 4 times already. They have refused to break the betrothal. Viserra has a drinking problem. While drunk (and apparently unsupervised) she manages to sneak into Baelon's bed, naked, in an attempt to "seduce" him.

What's the more likely motive here? That she's a sly manipulative ambitious girl who's just so determined to be queen that she'll seduce poor widowed Baelon? Or that she's drunk and desperate and scared and trying to get her brother to rescue her the same way Jaehaerys once rescued Alysanne?

I rest my case.
