I was told that I was nothing Yet I was told that I was so pure And I was told that I was dirty Yet I was told I was the cure I ask myself, am I God or shit? Am I the high, the low? I’m fucking worth it

So excited for the new album from In This Moment after hearing this!

Knight-Commander Meredith

A commission piece that took me almost 24 hrs to finish, but I REALLY enjoyed drawing it, even to the smallest scratches on the rusty armour.

Little pieces to emphasize the detail work I made.

❛ There are so many theories about you and I, you know. ❜ ( to Vivienne )

@afraidofchange / @idolbound

VIVIENNE PICKS UP THE CUP OF TEA THAT ONE OF THE MANY servants roaming through skyhold’s halls has so thoughtfully brought her. she brings it to her lips with one hand while the other fingers the letter she’s currently perusing from a lord whose name she sees no reason to try and remember. “are there really, my dear?” her voice is little more than a sing-song, silvered murmur — she’s perfected the art of indifference as her eyes slide down the length of the letter (and the off-focus form of meredith sitting in the chair across from her, the latter with much more interest).

“how peculiar.” she tosses the letter back to her table with a delicate flick of her wrist and sips her tea. something mirthful and borderline wicked sparks in the depths of those slate-gray eyes — something that sharpens and intensifies and bursts into flame when she gazes at the knight-commander.

vivienne’s smile is black lace against black skin: dark and provocative and altogether too redolent for its own good.  

“truly, i can’t imagine why.”

 Heavy footfalls echo against the long-standing halls of the keep within King’s Landing. Thirty days and nights have welcomed Meredith among the ranks of the renowned Lannister guard, donning red cloak and polished armour. 

Meredith Stannard cuts an impressive figure among her cohort - tall and lean, with a powerful stride. She spares no time after receiving such a summon, though her mind begins to wonder as to why exactly that the Queen regnant has sent for her. Thoughts that pertain to something she has done - or hasn’t - though being noticed among the guard calls for question, and, leaves a lump of nerves in her throat. Upon approach to the hall, her helm is removed, revealing blonde locks and bright blue eyes, taking in the sight of Cersei Lannister herself, bowing prior to speaking. 

“You’ve requested my presence, your grace. I am... at your service.”

dude writing a woman on tumblr dot com, attempting to be a Woke Feminist Icon:    hello this is my character stillettoheels lipsticklady she loves to weaponize her femininity and sexuality uwu she’ll cut a man with her eyeliner wings and step on him with her heels!!  i cannot imagine a woman as anything besides a face full of makeup and i cannot see a woman as anything besides a sexually consumable object for a male audience so even her anger at men has to be feminine and sexy uwuwuwu she has her tits hanging out because it’s empowering for her.  she loves being a woman and being a woman obviously means being hypereffeminate all the time because i again cannot see a woman as anything But dude-wank material even in her anger and morality and literally every other part of her character.  those don’t exist until i find a way to sexualize them too.  fuck the patriarchy!

#   this isnt a vague this is just.  98% of fucking men who write women at all. #   it carries the same energy as people calling lesbians  ‘sapphic'  or  ‘wlw'  instead of lesbians in a way #   not sexuality-wise.  but in that people are using an umbrella of self-proclaimed 'progressiveness’ #   in order to silence and undermine the experiences of women who AREN’T available to men #   who AREN’T feminine and who don’t believe that femininity can be  'weaponized’ #   bc heres the thing folks.  ive never seen anyone on my dash doing this but heres the thing. #   femininity is a concept predominantly constructed by men in order to appease the male gaze. #   femininity is a predatory social expectation meant to weaken and sexualize women inherently. #   femininity is a weapon against women. #   no amount of  'reclaiming’  femininity  -  and theres nothing wrong with personally enjoying femininity!  -  but no amount of  'reclamation’ #   will ever change the fact that when you portray a  'strong woman’  as strong because she  'weaponizes her femininity’ #   you are inherently only servicing the exact thing you claim to hate. #   women are allowed to be angry and rebellious and upset and are allowed to just Exist #   without being sexually consumable and appealing to men. #   there’s nothing progressive about pushing the fact that a woman has to be constantly sexy to men. #   that isnt empowerment. #   and especially if youre a dude and you do this and youre reading this:  shit’s sketch. #   please stop and Think about why you can’t even let a woman go against male expectation and social prejudice / inequality / etc #   without making her femininity her  'weapon.’ #   all it looks like you’re doing is jerking yourself off. #   Please Fucking Actually Consider Your Own Intentions Here. #  why can you not view women as unsexual / unfeminine beings in Any aspect of their lives. #  why do you equate 'femininity’ with  'womanhood’.  why.

a small psa

for asoiaf/game of thrones rpers specifically

i’ve seen a lot of posts going around about the usage of honorifics saying that “your majesty” is proper for kings and queens; “your highness” for princess and princesses; etc. this is the case in historical roleplays for the most part, but it is not the case in westeros. here is a link to a good article on the usage of honorifics in westeros.

tl;dr: king/queen - “your grace” prince/princess - “my prince(ss)”, “your grace” lord of a noble house - “Lord [House]”, “my lord of [House]” male members of a noble house - “my lord of [House]”, “my lord” ( never “Lord [House]” ) lady of a noble house - “Lady [House]” female members of a noble house - “Lady [Given Name]” knights - “Ser”
