Examples of Chekhov’s gun in Knives Out (2019)

Chekhov’s gun (Russian: Чеховское ружьё) is a dramatic principle that states that every element in a story must be necessary, and irrelevant elements should be removed.

“If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go off. If it’s not going to be fired, it shouldn’t be hanging there.”

“One must never place a loaded rifle on the stage if it isn’t going to go off. It’s wrong to make promises you don’t mean to keep.“ - Chekhov, letter to Aleksandr Semenovich Lazarev, 1 November 1889.

Don't you think hiding your secret is more stressful than just dealing with everyone knowing?

If you notice, in fiction, when someone is a bad guy, they don't read. So, with Will, I thought this was an opportunity to have the hero be someone with a disability, with dyslexia, instead of someone we think ill of. A lot of times people with a kink in their wiring – dyslexia or dyscalculia or one of the attention deficit disorders – can see things and solve problems in a really unique way. – Karin Slaughter

NANCY DREW (2019 - 2023) 4.04 'The Return of the Killer's Hook'

[transparentlyfallingasleep]

Besieged Chapter 10

“What?” he snaps, only now feeling the loosening heat of the wine in his blood. "How is this any of your concern?”

“It’s not,” she shrugs, “I’m sure she’ll give you many strapping sons if you don’t kill her with the birthing bed.”

There are two direwolves above her breast where her brothers’ and lord father’s gorget would have been so marked. He had not noticed before. The silver embroidery is so neat that it looks like it was pressed into metalwork rather than sown into cloth. 

She means the image to sting. She means it to injure. She might as well be wearing armour for the violence in her words.

And yet, he cannot shake the feeling it is meant to shield her too.

"I am not betrothed to the Swygert girl, and your interest in my bed, birthing or otherwise, is not required, your Grace," he says, looking back towards the dancers and battling to keep his voice even.

She makes a snorting sound of derision, “So, which other lucky-“

That is the end of it. She throws the word like a crab apple, and for once in his life, he will duck.

THIS! THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS!!!

One of the best chapters of any fic (or any written media) I have ever read. The tension? Phenomenal. I felt it! Like the whole world was buzzing. Does that make sense. Ugh its so good. I’ve loved the whole fic but this chapter really upped the anti (or whatever its called) i just loved it so much. I’ve re read it like five times. I’m going to go reread it again. And I can not wait to see what happens next. You’ve gotten me hyperfixating on a fanfiction AGAIN

[aryasheretic]

They would make a great gendrya fc, I mean look at them. We’ve got the curly black hair and wild blue eyes for Gendry, and the ‘wild’ brown hair and grey eyes. Her face is both long and round so it works for both show!arya and book!arya.

"Arya is male coded"

"Rhaenyra is male coded"

No, just no.

Just because a woman doesn't want to comply to the sexist ideals westerosi society has for women doesn't mean they are "male coded". You are acting like only men deserve to have the freedom of choice in choosing partners, choosing their career, having ambitious, being outspoken etc which is so sexist.

Arya and Rhaenyra are two well written, complex female characters. Nothing about them is "male coded". Their "masculine traits" and their "male privilege" only exists in your miopic view.

House of Black and White uniforms if I had no restraint - part 2

[aryasheretic]

I know this is an unpopular stance but I get Arya leaving Westeros after season 8, and I understand why she did it but with a specific conditions. Arya spent 8 years trying to get back to the north, back to her family. Leaving wouldn’t make sense, would it? Except I kind of see it. One of the biggest points of Arya’s growth is her devotion to her whole family, she is just as loyal to Sansa and Bran as she is to Jon. I don’t think she made the decision to leave until the dragon pit council. Until Jon was exiled, Sansa became queen in the north, and Bran king of the six kingdoms. After the dragon pit, staying in Westeros meant choosing between Jon, Sansa, and Bran. Arya would never make that choice. So she chose to remove herself from the equation. I don’t think she would be entirely comfortable staying anywhere in Westeros as long as her pack is separated, I think if Jon’s exile was revoked and he went back to Winterfell, so would Arya (preferably with Gendry on her heels).
