So In The 1960 Movie Adaptation Of Goethes PlayFaust, They Chose To Give The Devil Mephistopheles A Very

So in the 1960 movie adaptation of Goethe’s play “Faust”, they chose to give the devil Mephistopheles a very different look than how he’s usually portrayed.

Here are a few images of what Mephisto is usually shown as looking like:

 so just your very average looking devil/demon figure with a hat, you know?

But here’s what Mephisto looked like in the 1960 version:

I can’t describe how much I love this

People talk about a lot about the tragedy of the Stark family -- which mind you is absolutely fair what happens to them is horrible -- but in my eyes the most tragic family we see in asoiaf has to be the Greyjoys, just because of how inherent their tragedy is. Unlike the Starks, they did not start off happy in a secure home, well respected by the rest of Westeros. From the first moment we see them in the story they’re all struggling in one way or another due to all the trauma they’ve experienced thats either intergenerational, due to the Greyjoy Rebellion, due to the actions of other family members or due to how in general they are treated by the rest of Westeros.

All the Greyjoys we encounter seem to feel this need to prove themselves, or excel or gain power in some shape or form, like they’re all scraping at the walls of this hole they find themselves at the bottom of -- a hole that only seems to get deeper as the books go on. Their wish to prove themselves usually comes from two places; to prove themselves to other family members or to prove themselves to Westeros.

The Starks show us the horrible fate this family suffered from when they left their homes and were separated from each other. And whilst things were never perfect for them, they all yearn to return to Winterfell and their family. 

House Greyjoy (it would feel weird to call them a family) are splintered apart from day one. The horrible things that happen to them don’t happen because they f.e. left home or are apart, they come from the inherent tragedy of being a Greyjoy, and how that affects and defines their actions across the series that lead them to their predicaments.

Which is why, other than the Starks, where we have the feeling that this all was avoidable and are biting our nails at every corner hoping they will make the right choice, the fall of the Greyjoys seems almost inevitable at times -- and therein lies, imo, the tragedy.

i love it when people call davos “one of the smallfolk” as if that mfer isn’t a class traitor 

just watched adventure time together again am sobbing uncontrollably finn talking about how jakes death affected him and jakes choice at the end destroyed me completely. friendship yall.

i am deeply in love with the simplicity of house mormont. because we know how deeply misogynistic westeros is and their believed importance of the patriarchy anywhere north of dorne, but than, up there in the bay of ice, you have this fairly important small house that is run and ruled by women, and they’re warrior women on top of that. and nobody bats an eye about it.

what westerosi culture is also fascinated with being  “highborn” or “trueborn”, purity and marriage, frowning down at bastards with disgust. And right next to that you have the she-bear herself maege mormont; unmarried with 5 daughters that also carry the mormont name -- and the notion of them not being true mormonts is not even mentioned
