i love, love, love that the gilded age is inherently feminist, while women still operate within the confines of a stricter society than today.

And there are so many instances of it too - Oscar losing the family money while being the one in charge of it because he's a man with no thought for anything than himself, Peggy choosing a career then leaving working for Mr. Fortune because he was using his position as her employer to push himself onto her, Bertha being ambitious, calculated woman who openly loves and fights for her family, and so many more examples that I'm not including.

I wish, truly wish, that more period dramas show much women were actually integral and not useless entities who never had to work

agnes is finally bonding with her son. they're sharing hobbies: complaining, sitting weird on fainting couches, licking wounds to their vanity... nothing like the bond between a girlboss born too soon and her only gay failson.

NOT LETTING THIS STAY IN THE COMMENTS

[narwhalsarefalling]

oh yeah have i ever told yall of the academic war i have been an unwilling soilder in for the past two years

[narwhalsarefalling]

okay SO. i have two professors that both teach this one subject, but different classes. they have different last names, so i didnt know this at first and espically since they are academic RIVELS at my school, but they are MARRIED. but for the past 8 years they have been in an academic WAR of geospatical sciences data. more accurately, the raster vs vector data debate. i am personally on the side of "both have their pros and cons and can be utalizied to the utmost efficency" but both professors are like, DEADLOCKED in insistanting one is better then the other

so, professor A is my mentor. i like him a lot, and he was the main person that taught me the most abotu Eris and ArcGIS. professor B is a professor i had one for class, and shes nice and knows a lot of little tricks about Eris programming but mostly relies on arcMAP because shes the raster data professor.

and THESE MOTHERFUCKERS. have written no less then 30 papers that is basically like a "re: re: re: re: re: re: vector data is better then raster fuck you" but like, Professionally. and they leave stupid notes in the footnotes that read "Reguardless of Professor A's opinions reguarding the efficency of Vector data, Raster data has a more efficant polygon computing rate and is the most commonly used program on interplantaring mapping" and its HILARIOUS

[narwhalsarefalling]

ive read all of their papers, and its basically like reading an email chain between a married couple arguing over the colors of the kitchen backsplash for their new home. its HILARIOUS. but obviously, because of their differnet last names and because they act like they HATE each other, NOT VERY MANY PEOPLE REALIZES THEYRE MARRIED

until like LAST WEEK

[narwhalsarefalling]

professor B publishes a paper that casually drops the word "husband"

and obviously all the students are like "oh i didnt know u were married!" because we read that shit like how white suburban mothers read People Magazine

[narwhalsarefalling]

and shes like "yeah, its Professor A"

[narwhalsarefalling]

and we all FLIPPED. THE FUCK. OUT

[narwhalsarefalling]

we thought the framed picture of the two of them on professor A's desk was ironic because hes that type of guy

[narwhalsarefalling]

like, you gotta undestand. these two have gotten into YELLING matches in hallways. these two refuse to go onto trips with each other. but apparently they have a system where they quite LITERALLY leave all of their work at work and drive home in seperate cars and literally NEVER mention work at home. it is SO funny

Genies can only grant wishes that are things that an ordinary person could do, just better and faster. The jinn are the creations of a divine being, and so they are part of the divine plan and cannot defy the natural order of things; a wish granted by a jinni can’t turn the day into night or the sea into yogurt, but if you wish for a temple to be built, a jinni will build it by hand, the way men do, and have it done in a day.

If you need a wish granted that defies the natural order you gotta catch a leprechaun, because no god was involved in their creation whatsoever. They just kinda showed up one day in the nineteenth century. The Aos Sí have no idea what their deal is

You’re not hiding this in the tags buddy

i don't hide things in tags i simply allow the proletariat to determine whether it is praxis to make my statements heard.

the other reason the leprechaun shoots the king of england in the head is that, unnatural abomination against God and Fey alike or not, it's still Irish

asoiaf tiktok redemption arc for describing bloodraven getting sent to the wall for inviting his nephew he had never met over so that he could have him assassinated under his roof like this. maynard plumm wrote this caption

[visenyaism]

he was a family man! he did what it took to secure stability in the realm even when people thought assassinating his teenage nephew and establishing a weirwood police state was too far and in this house brynden rivers was a goddamn hero, end of story.

[visenyaism]

not only no more secret targaryens but also shiera seastar is actually a secret hightower for real

[visenyaism]

Think about it . No one knows ANYTHING about her mother, Serenei of Lys, except for that she was the last daughter of a “noble but impoverished family in Lys” brought over to court on the word of Aegon IV’s Hand, Jon Hightower. So no information on who those people in Lys are, and as the last daughter, no relatives or anyone else to corroborate this story except Jon Hightower.

There is a clear precedent for Hightower men trying to get their kin in with the targ royalty. The High Septon arranged the marriage between his niece Ceryse Hightower and Maegor, Otto Hightower sold Alicent to Viserys, Garmund Hightower married Rhaena Targaryen, etc. Jon Hightower bringing over a random girl from Lys to be Aegon’s mistress when he could’ve brought over another Hightower is not in line with the routine their family pulls on a regular basis.

Like the Lyseni, people from House Hightower are described as looking pretty Valyrian (might be from Rhaena, might be that proto-valyrian empire black stone whatever going on, either way, a lot of them have silver hair). It is not outside of the realm of possibility to pass one off as the other- especially if the other piece of information we know about Serenei s that she was allegedly a witch who could alter her appearance. House Hightower actually has one of the highest numbers of alleged magic users of anyone (malora sweep) and that’s because some people are pretty into that over The Citadel. We know that she can do glamours already. We know where she may have learned them from. It is all coming together.

TLDR: Serenei of Lys is actually a Hightower plant who learned magic at the citadel, making Shiera Seastar the first hightower-targaryen since the dance becausento go forwards you must go back. Bottoms up, and otto hightower laughs.
