"incurious" still GOAT insult. You could be better but you're not. You could learn but you won't, and for no good reason, just a base dispositional apathy. Get fucked

PLEASE SHARE FURTHER THOUGHTS ON THIS DUNK BAELOR INEXPERIENCED IN LOVE MATTER I mean if you want to but the capslock is to convey my enthusiasm 🥹

Ok so my headcanon for this is a little angsty and long

Baelor was basically raised to be perfect by westerosi standards: no flaws (a great knight a great warrior a great politician a great diplomat, married with an heir and a spare), no scandals, no bastards, no undesirable “qualities” that would cause conflict (rooted in homophobia, machismo, religious intolerance, discrimination against the disabled and mentally ill and people with addictions etc)

No young lord has been watched and scrutinised as closely in all history, and for Baelor’s parents it was a matter of ensuring both his survival and their family’s safety. Other boys had chances to explore and err but as soon as it became clear the older sons weren’t viable heir options, Baelor’s freedom ended (so like when he was 5)

So in my hc he is self-aware enough to know what he likes but the knowledge is almost entirely theoretical, because the attention and dislike towards him were so great before his marriage and combat glory, he just didn’t risk getting involved with anybody and had like one serious crush that broke his heart cause the crush was straight! Completely staying out of heteronormative behaviour would be criticised too so he chased a few maids half-heartedly but never went all the way with them, and then he had a wife whose family would happily declare him a dornish whore and join his enemies if he shamed her in any way

Also in this hc Jena had a stereotype-based opinion on Targs and Dornish men as sexy beasts so Baelor’s real personality is a shock to her and she doesn’t like him, and their relationship is polite but cold. And he thinks she can sense he doesn’t enjoy their intimacy and feels all sorts of ashamed and guilty. And so years later when Baelor’s widowed he has left most of the shame behind and he’s popular enough to consider it safe getting a lover but he has no clue how to court a man! And he has no one to guide him cause he has no gay friends no community not even a book. And for someone so clever and successful it must feel awful!

Enter Dunk, whose pure soul and pretty everything destroy Baelor’s considerations about a casual relationship! Now he’s in love and 10 types of frustrated ahahahahaha!

“Teachers are often unaware of the gender distribution of talk in their classrooms. They usually consider that they give equal amounts of attention to girls and boys, and it is only when they make a tape recording that they realize that boys are dominating the interactions. Dale Spender, an Australian feminist who has been a strong advocate of female rights in this area, noted that teachers who tried to restore the balance by deliberately ‘favouring’ the girls were astounded to find that despite their efforts they continued to devote more time to the boys in their classrooms. Another study reported that a male science teacher who managed to create an atmosphere in which girls and boys contributed more equally to discussion felt that he was devoting 90 per cent of his attention to the girls. And so did his male pupils. They complained vociferously that the girls were getting too much talking time. In other public contexts, too, such as seminars and debates, when women and men are deliberately given an equal amount of the highly valued talking time, there is often a perception that they are getting more than their fair share. Dale Spender explains this as follows: “The talkativeness of women has been gauged in comparison not with men but with silence. Women have not been judged on the grounds of whether they talk more than men, but of whether they talk more than silent women.” In other words, if women talk at all, this may be perceived as ‘too much’ by men who expect them to provide a silent, decorative background in many social contexts.”

Every EVERY women’s studies class I’ve been in has had this problem and failed to address it.

I love the moment (captured so wonderfully by OP) in the last gif because, as I think I've said before, Baelor does the same slowblink thing that cats do when they want you to know that they like you

Okay! Let’s review fanfic commenting etiquette!

Person A

1) acknowledges you liked it - twice

2) acknowledges the author controls if there is more

3) offers their support if more is written (also the willingness to read more? Of my writing? Wow. I’m emotional)

4) exclamation mark with a compliment! Exciting!

Person B

1) one word

2) all capitals

3) demanding - it feels like you’re yelling at me

4) could not actually be bothered to say you liked it

Be Person A, not Person B, please! Fanfic authors are not your fic ATMs.

I know people always say they don’t know what to write in a comment but honestly? As long as you’re polite it’s a good comment!

Unless an author has asked for critiques, DO NOT GIVE THEM. I don’t need to know (nor do I care) that something took you out of the fic. It’s FICTIONAL. Use your imagination! Make it work!

tl;dr - BE NICE

Do you think Cersei would have been less or more insulted it Robert had called out Ned’s name on their wedding night instead of Lyanna’s

[sorcerervaati]

[goldcrescent]

Cersei suddenly realizes she’s being threatened about her relationship with Jaime meanwhile Robert apparently has a crush on a slightly happier version of Stannis and she gets so mad her jaw locks shut. Ned waits a few minutes and thinks her lack of response is contemplation and “honorably” leaves so she can seriously consider his offer to flee (Cersei is 100% killing them both the second everything stops smelling like burnt toast)

making friends via fandom is inherently hilarious because in many ways it's like a regular friendship and sometimes you'll share stuff that's going on in your lives and offer support and talk about food or pets or random cultural stuff because you live on opposite sides of the damn planet, but also some of your interactions are like "hello beloved friend whom I cherish deeply, I have brought you a deceptively platonic gift of lovingly crafted star wars porn"
