I Feel Theres A Potential Meta That Could Be Written About Tywin As This Ideal Figure Of Toxic Traditional

I feel there’s a potential meta that could be written about tywin as this ideal figure of toxic traditional masculinity and brutality and the way people strive to imitate him results in a cycle of violence both for the people themselves and the people around them…… seen obviously in his children, but there’s a lot that could be talked about with regards to joncon too. like, he’s seen by westerosi lords as a cringe loser and a failure for losing the battle of stoney sept, and we know that the reason he lost is because he tried to show mercy and spare civilian lives….. and we also know that, as myles says, tywin would’ve burned the town to the ground. so joncon is seen as weak and lacking for not living up to tywin’s standard of brutality, and in twow he’s obviously going to try and fix that, resulting in some really awful things. it’s interesting that joncon and tyrion and cersei are a gay man and a disabled man and a woman, and inherently don’t live up to their society’s masculine standard, but it’s through their emulation of tywin AS that masculine standard that they commit some of their worst acts. it feels like a really interesting criticism of toxic masculinity to me

In light of the recent PostPlus nonsense tumblr is trying to pull, here's a reminder that monetization of fanfiction can lead you to legal trouble. On Ao3 it's against the TOS to even mention any money-sending site at all because of the conditonal protection they offer.

Putting your entire fanfiction blog behind a paywall is like pointing a neon sign saying "please sue me". I bring this up specifically because tumblr mentioned fanfiction in the post that they made and that is going to leave a lot of people misinformed.

Remember: Do NOT paywall your fanworks.

And rest assured, my blog will never be pay-to-read, even if this weren't a fanfiction blog. I think the whole thing is ridiculous.

it's so important for your health and well-being to get overly attached to a fictional man who is both deeply amoral and unbelievably, pathetically sad
