because Ormund Hightower getting in his teenage nephew’s face and coke ranting about the glory of the Hightower Reconquista that he has made up in his head that they are divinely ordained to accomplish to because of their special blood and no one understands but them IS exactly how Daemon was moving with fifteen year-old Rhaenyra in the first season of this show. kind of insane

I feel a bit shy posting this, but this piece means a lot to me... the idea of a character resenting their younger self, wanting to squash it, destroy it.... aghhhhhh

[attonitos-gloria]

sometimes I remember that Cersei and Tyrion are chasing and earning the Masculinity that is denied to them (Cersei because she was born a woman, Tyrion because he was born disabled) by becoming increasingly more Violent, exactly like the Manly Men who abused them (Tywin, Robert), and i feel like I need a cigarette. and I don't even smoke

[attonitos-gloria]

and then I remember Jaime was already pretty much there, in the perfect Male Spot his siblings are currently chasing, by giving his life to become the epitome of Manliness (a knight who perpetuates violence upon violence), and then he met someone who was not violent, actually not a man at all, and yet more of a knight he could ever dream to be

*modern sansa thats part of the school choir and literature club, has one best friend thats probably in theatre or the fashion class(jeyne) and a younger neighbour girl that follows them around (beth), she has insufferable takes while discovering YA romances, avid reader of history through epic romances, loves to sew clothes with Cat, tries to occasionally impress the popular crowd with horrible results, has the worst crushes known to man it makes her think the world is over and thinks men start balding past age 20* : immaculate

she also dresses a little like this :

GRRM is in fact really good at making up top tier characters i will use the starklings to illustrate the point okay you got: 1) high school freshman King Arthur stars in a shakespearean tragedy, as told by his mom; 2) local moody teenaged Starbucks night shift manager must do his very best to stop the zombie apocalypse through the power of friendship; 3) a middle schooler who keeps her sparkly butterfly gel pens in perfect rainbow order at all times is being held hostage by her evil middle school boyfriend and his evil blonde mafia family; 4) a scrappy but poorly-supervised middle-grade book protagonist bops about a war-zone looking for her family but instead! learns about Death; 5) paraplegic fourth grader Frodo Baggins receives mystical visions and must go on a quest to see a hundred-year-old tree guy; and 6) kindergartener that Bites
