I Am 98% Absolulty Pissed About The Ban,

I am 98% absolulty pissed about the ban,

and 2% laughing.

1% because everybody is posting the stuff of their art that got flagged, which is absolutly not in any way pornographic.

And 1% because tumblr is apperently not aware that most users are here to freely express their thoughts on things like sexuality and is completly killing their users.

Did Tumblr change something again, because I can search for pretty much anything and not find any posts about it but the posts with the right tags are still in my favourites, so they didn’t get deleted, they are definitly not +18 or anything, because they are mostly text posts anyways.

Also no matter what I look for in the GoT section all I get is pictures of Kit Harrington that have nothing to do with anything I am looking for.

We are getting back together

My take on the never getting back together Stark Family. Because some got back together.

I generally include Theon in the Stark family, but it wouldn’t make sense with the words, so I left him (and Benjen) out.

Also the last few seasons were pretty blue.

Why is no one in the Game of Thrones fandom talking about the fact that Alfie Allen named his daughter Arrow?

GoT Season 8 Spoilery

This is technically spoiler-free if you watched the trailer, becuse the scene is in it.

Everybody still keeps talking about Cersei, but you can see her in the trailer and in Episode 1 (same scene from the trailer) drinking wine.

She is not pregnant anymore, otherwise she wouldn’t. That was noticed by Tyrion last season. Cersei doesn’t drink when she is pregnant, if she drinks it only means she already lost the child.

i have finally figured out my personal problem with GoT Season 8.

And yes, it’s the writing.

For the last 5 episodes I though it was not even in any way GRRM plan, like nothing of it.

And then I startet noticing the overall plotpoints itself.

So:

The others/Night King kill Viserion. Dany notices she is not as welcome in Westeros as she had hoped. Dany finds out, that Jon has better claim to the Iron Throne. Ser Jorah dies in battle, protecting Dany. Dany notices the people love Jon, but not her. Euron kills Rhegal (most likely with dragonbinder in the books). Cersei kills Missandei. Jon turns Dany down, because she is his aunt. Dany slowly decends to madness and succumbs to her “with fire and blood - I will take it” -part, ignoring everything else out of pure rage and despair. Like all of that makes sense. But stuffing all of that in 5 episodes doesn’t. Aerys madness took years before he started burning people. And Danys just took a couple of weeks. The pacing is off. That is the issue.

And that all characters are getting more and more supperficial instead of more complex every season. I can see Jamie wanting to be with Cersei when she dies, there is so much of “we came into this world together and we are going to leave it together” going on with them, that I can see him going back to her, when he knows she is going to die. What I can’t see is him saying he didn’t care for King’s Landing. Because he didn’t kill Aerys for Cersei. He did it because it was the necessairy thing to do.

And taking that away undermines his redemption ark completly.

And I still don’t know why Sansa would be so indiplomatic in Danys face. When they gave her Jeyne Poole’s storyline in Season 5 she smiled in Roose Boltons face. You can’t tell me that she couldn’t be nice enough to Dany and voice her concern later to Jon in private. She lied in Joffreys face all the time, acting as if she loved him for years. She can fake being okay with Dany.

Sansa in the books is smart enough to lie to Tyrion at 13 in the books and he doesn’t realise it. And then show Sansa goes on and is so open about not liking Dany, while she still needs her help. Afterwards maybe, but not before, not while she still needs Dany.

And I can’t see any foreshaddowing in the books about Arya killing the Night King. I can see some in the show. (What do we say to the god of death? and blue eyes) both of of those instences were show only. And the forshaddowing at the show was minimum at best. 

I am also not sure if book Theon would ever be able to fight again. Because his condition of both his mind and his body are way worse in the books. But I can absolutly see him going back to Winterfell to die like he since Rmsay and the Red Wedding thought he should have. Fighting for a Stark.

I could go on with this, but my point is, that the pacing this season is way to fast and the bad writing (seriously, most of the dialog this season was really bad, not just that everybody has plot armor during the battle - I love Sam, but in the books he would haven been dead) and that makes the actual plot feel like it can’t be GRRM intention. But I think the overall plot points could work really well in the books, just that they would be way better written.
