LA FÉE MÉLUSINE ET LE CHEVALIER RAYMONDIN (1894)

A fantastic and unique sculpture made in 1894 by Jean Dampt after a well known medieval love story, and acquired shortly after by the notorious collector Martine de Béhague. Currently exhibited at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Dijon

having a homoerotic sword fight with my rival but then she starts talking about her ideals and i have to stop and pull out a thesis paper on the shallowness of her ideology and how weak her sociopolitical analysis is

and then she stabs me to death

(trying to give relationship advice) from a narrative perspective i think both of you dying together would be the most emotionally satisfying resolution but i’m guessing that’s not what you want to hear

as a marxist i find very funny that the death of the targaryen dinasty is somehow always linked with a hammer/hammer-like-weapon.

love it when fiction provides a lens to understand and interpret the real world. hate it when people compare real life world historic moments to fictional events

I fully understand that this is a very silly thing to get nitpicky about, but: no, the 1987 West German urban fantasy film Wings of Desire does not imply that Columbo, the character, is an angel who's taken human form. It implies that Peter Falk, the actor who plays Columbo, is an angel who's taken human form. If we're going to indulge in metafictional crankery, let's at least get it right!

my tl of twitter full of azor again discourse in 2025... i don't understand why you all want your favourite character to be azor ahai when he is introduced to us in a bad light through the pov of one of the moral compasses of the series.

and if you analyse the text trough a doylist interpretation, do you really think that grrm is saying sacrificing a loved one to save the world is worthy or is it more possible that his thesis statement is something along the lines of "what is the life of one bastard boy against a kingdom? Everything" (Davos V, ASOS).

stannis will kill her daughter because he believes it's his destiny to do so to save the world and it will be shown as horrifying and as his ultimate downfall. do you really believe that other character making that exact same decision but adhering more to the prophecy will make it justified?

regarding the whole “what color will jon snow’s hair be”-debate i feel like people are maybe forgetting that the resurrection most likely will take place in connection with them burning his body which means first and foremost jon is gonna be BALD

Does ASOIAF have a dream theory? Not like prophecy dreams or dreams being psychic communication, I mean a good ol’ classic ‘it was all a dream’ dream theory.

If not, I’d like to suggest that all of the books are just Bran’s intense coma fever dreams after seeing twincest.

rhaena having her story to be reworked into taking over nettles story is just sansa being given jeyne's story instead of letting her have her vale storyline 2.0 bc no writer seems to value that these characters strengths are being political and soft power focused and instead just want to give them the hard girlboss story line because that is more exciting to them

[nobodysuspectsthebutterfly]

#to preface i dont rlly care about teams i just want the characters to be given the nuance they deserve in hotd #ok. that out of the way. while the situations arent 1 to 1 i find it insulting how the plotlines about slowly gathering political power #and favor through soft power amongst nobles keeps getting erased for more 'exciting' storylines #and also erasing lower stationed girls (jeyne and nettles) to do that even tho a strong part of those stories Was about them #being lower stationed and that that put them in those situations #jeyne as a lower noble being spirited away and used as a proxy that no one recognizes bc she was so lower in status #despite being sansa's best friend is Important. nettles being a common born girl who tames a dragon is IMPORTANT #especially to the story of the dance of the dragons!!!!! whatever. crushes rock between my hands like dust #also! rheana DOES get a dragon! morning!!! sure its not a big killer in a war and it doesnt live long but she Does get one! #can that not be a tragedy of rheana was always worthy but the family tearing itself apart denies her her chance to have something #so meaningful to her? more lost to a horrible civil war and the joy she even got one briefly? mirror viserys i only getting balerion #for a short amount of time? whatever. whatever man
