Alright my guys, listen up. I’m just really fucking proud of Sansa Stark, okay? Like so beyond belief, amazing fucking proud of her. No one, literally no one has been through more shit on this show time and time again and still come out on the the other side a more resilient woman. She’s gone from a naive little girl, to a political prisoner, to an abuse victim, to the LADY OF WINTERFELL IN CHARGE OF HER HOME WHILE THE KING IN THE NORTH IS AWAY.

SHE HAD TO STAND IN FRONT OF A CROWD OF PEOPLE AND WATCH AS HER OWN FATHER WAS WRONGFULLY BEHEADED WHEN SHE WAS STILL A KID. SHE HAD TO LIVE OUT HER DAYS SURROUNDED BY THE VERY PEOPLE THAT KILLED HIM AND MURDERED HER FAMILY AS THEY TREATED HER LIKE SCUM AND BEAT HER FOR EVERY OTHER WORD OUT OF HER MOUTH. SHE HAD TO LEARN TO HOLD HER TONGUE AND PRETEND TO BE HAPPY JUST TO STAY ALIVE. SHE GOT A BRIEF MOMENT OF HOPE BEFORE SHE WAS MARRIED OFF TO ANOTHER LANNISTER AS A POLITICAL MOVE. SHE ESCAPED KINGS LANDING AND FINALLY GAINED HER FREEDOM BEFORE BEING SOLD OFF TO ANOTHER HOUSE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BUTCHERING OF HER FAMILY FOR CLAIM OVER WINTERFELL. SHE WAS RAPED AND BEATEN AND DRAGGED THROUGH THE GUTTER EVERY SINGLE DAY BECAUSE OF HER NAME. SHE THOUGHT HER ENTIRE FAMILY WAS DEAD AND SHE WAS ALONE AND STUCK TO LIVE OUT HER DAYS BEING BRUISED BY HER “HUSBAND”. SHE WAS PASSED AROUND BETWEEN HER OWN ENEMIES, SURROUNDED BY TRAITORS AND MURDERERS.

BUT THAT GIRL DIDNT LET IT TAKE AWAY WHO SHE WAS. SHE NEVER GAVE UP ALL HER TIME IN KING’S LANDING. SHE LEARNED WHAT SHE COULD ABOUT POLITICAL STRATEGY AND DECIET AND USED IT TO STAY ALIVE. SHE LEARNED HOW TO PLAY THE GAME OF THRONES, HOW TO PLAY THE ROLE OF AN INNOCENT GIRL TO SURVIVE. SHE SASSED THE LANNISTERS EVERY CHANCE SHE HAD. SHE HELD ON TO HER TITLE AS A STARK AND HER RIGHT TO WINTERFELL AND SHE REMAINED BRAVE IN THE FACE OF CERTAIN FAILURE. SHE JUMPED OFF A CASTLE WALL INTO THE SNOW TO ESCAPE HER ABUSER. SHE WADED THROUGH A FREEZING CREEK TO OUTRUN DOGS. SHE LOOKED HER CAPTOR IN THE EYE AND TOLD HIM SHE WAS NOT AFRAID. SHE FOUGHT HER WAY BACK TO HER FAMILY AND MOVED TO TAKE BACK HER HOME FORM ITS INVADERS. SHE RODE INTO BATTLE TO LOOK HER RAPIST AND ABUSER RIGHT IN THE EYE AND TELL HIM THAT HE WAS GOING TO DIE AND HE HAD NO CONTROL OVER HER. SHE BROUGHT THE KNIGHTS OF THE VALE TO THE BATTLE OF THE BASTARDS AND SAVED THE NORTHERN ARMIES. SHE FED THAT SAME RAPIST TO HIS OWN HUNTING HOUNDS AND SMILED AS HE DIED. SHE CONTINUES TO ADVISE JON EVEN IF NO ONE WILL LISTEN TO HER OPINIONS. SHE HAS THE LOYALTY OF THE NORTH BUT REFUSES TO TAKE THE TITLE OF QUEEN BECAUSE IT IS JON’S PLACE. SHE’S STILL DOING THE BEST SHE CAN AND TRYING TO KEEP HER FAMILY TOGETHER AND ALIVE AND NO ONE IS APPRECIATING HER FOR IT OR TAKING HER SERIOUSLY BUT THAT DOESNT STOP HER FROM TRYING HER BEST.

YALL… I’m just… she has been through the most shit of anyone and she’s still here and she’s so far from the little girl that just wanted to marry a prince she was in the beginning and you have no idea how emotional I am about this. Sansa Stark is literally the strongest character on this show and she deserves all the respect and praise in the world and I just love her so much and that’s the kind of strength and resilience I aspire to possess.

Yo episode 4 was lit but for real where the fuck is Gendry at

[raviposting]

Okay I’m usually not one of those “ha I’ve been a fan the whole damn time” people but I can honestly say that being a Sansa fan since s1 has been so damn rewarding as the seasons go on. 

Like obviously the writing isn’t great towards her (or any female really lbr) but what they give to her for successes are so satisfying. Sansa was criticized and hated for being too whiny, defenseless, too weak and ultimately too important. And yet, this “unimportant” character? 

Sansa gets to say the long-awaited “winter is here” line. Sansa gets to kill off Ramsay, arguably the worst villain since Joffrey. Sansa gets to rule Winterfell in season 7. Sansa is the first Stark sibling to get the initial reunion scene with another Starkling - all three times. 

It’s been years in the making and it sure as hell hasn’t been perfect but seeing Sansa get to do these iconic things after people have been calling her useless is the greatest payoff e v e r.

If Sanders doesn’t get the nomination, and you can’t see yourself voting for Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, then don’t. Vote third party.

Consider the Libertarian or Green Party.

Don’t feed the establishment by voting for Clinton, and don’t feed authoritarian isolationism by voting for Trump.

[provendermalkin]

No. The absolute largest chunk of people considering changing their votes at the moment are disappointed non-conservatives. There was barely any competition among republicans; from the get-go, the voter base united behind Trump. If non-conservatives split their votes across multiple fronts, they WILL lose.

Voting third party in America throws your vote directly into the garbage. Our system does not work like Australia’s. You don’t get a second or third choice, and candidates who win aren’t going to look at the numbers and say “I see 25% of Americans voted Green, I should implement Green policies.” That’s not how it works. Conservative voters overwhelmingly back a single party, the GOP, while non-conservative voters are the ones that scatter across multiple, weak fronts when faced with an unappealing Democratic party nominee. Think about it like this:

The majority of Republican voters support Trump and are not changing their vote even though party leaders and figureheads are universally decrying him. They’ve been groomed for decades by the GOP to be this way, and now party leaders have lost control of the impressionable voter base they created for themselves. There’s nothing they can do about it at this point. While a small number of Republicans can and are switching parties, it’s not very much. Meanwhile, Democrats are floundering, trying to decide which front to unite under. Some of them go to the Green party or Libertarians, sure; the rest stay with the Democratic party in the hopes that even with people leaving, they will have enough to block Trump. But Trump doesn’t need a majority of total Americans to vote for him; he only needs more than the other candidates have. Do you understand what I’m saying? Trump could get 10% of the vote, but as long as no other party has more than 10%, he still wins. The second you split the left and middle across three or four fronts, the right seizes control. This is how it goes down every single fucking time we go through this.

The other thing to consider is that the electoral college is NOT going to weigh in favor of a third party. Doing so would be political suicide. They are paid to vote certain ways, and not doing so would fuck up their careers. Even if an entire state votes in favor of a third party, the electoral college is going to vote for whichever primary party matches up the closest, and sometimes not even that. Their votes are counted when making the actual choice of president; ours are not. They proved that with Gore. The majority of Americans voted for him; the electoral college installed Bush anyway and told us to suck it up. The question at this point is whether they’d risk it a second time, and we have to hope that they won’t, which is why we have to unite under a single front to block Trump.

[barefootindecember]

^^^^^^^THIS!!!!!!!!!! People do not understand that under our plurality system, it doesn’t matter if the majority of the population doesn’t vote for Trump. As long as he has more than any of the other candidates, he wins. Splitting up the more liberal voters is now what non-Trump supporters want to do.

[ceallaig1]

DO NOT SPLIT THE VOTE, PLEASE! GOP is gonna vote Trump, they won’t vote for a 3rd party person. That means a solid voting bloc. Dem who split the vote are in essence giving him a free vote. HILARY WITH ALL HER FAULTS IS STILL BETTER THAN TRUMP!

[ameliyaaaa6]

GOD DAMNIT YALL BETTER NOT SPLIT THE DEM VOTES

[fenland-witch-deactivated202005]

This is how the Conservative Party in the UK won the last election with less than 40% of the overall vote!!!! Don’t do it America!

NOT splitting the vote is how Canada snagged this magical unicorn man in the last election.  Basically everyone I know voted strategically, even if it was against their party, to ensure that Harper’s crusty conservative ass was kicked the hell out.  Personally I waffle between the Green Party and the NDP politically, but I sure as heck voted Liberal last election.

[sussexbound]

I am getting really fed up with people saying that they don’t have to choose the lesser of two evils, and so they’re going to follow their conscience and vote for a third party. Well, I hope your conscience is okay with you voting Trump, because if you vote third party at this point, and Trump gets in, then that is exactly what you did, and you’ve been told this repeatedly prior to the election. So, when the whole country goes to shit, I’ll be looking at you as well as the Republicans. Any vote other than a Democratic vote is a Republican one, at this point.

REBLOGGING AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN

[poetry-protest-pornography]

Reblogging again mostly for the “magical unicorn man” comment, but also because it’s really really important.

^that

[theultravioletcatastrophe]

That is indeed how we got Trudeau - we swallowed our pride and voted strategically. In Canada, the political right is basically the Conservatives, whereas the left is split between the Liberals, the NDP, and the Green Party. Most of us NDP/Greens switched alliances last October, because for all his faults, Trudeau had the best chance of beating Harper - and TRUST ME, we wanted his ass GONE.

It’ll be the same in the US in November. Clinton isn’t great, but she is unquestionably better than Trump. Please, PLEASE vote strategically! The rest of the world is counting on you!

[christel-thoughts]

How many times must this be said?

[liberalbutnotpartisan]

As many as it takes until it sinks in. We cannot let Jill Stein or Gary Johnson play the Ralph Nader role in 2016. Unacceptable.

[fortheloveofgop]

Seriously, please listen to this. I get that there are third party candidates who are more appealing. But as much as it sucks, there is no way they’re going to win, and by voting for them you make it more likely that Trump will.

[ragingprogressive]

Oh my god THIS! I am still pro-Bernie. But you can be sure as shit I’m voting Hillary in November. I WILL NOT be responsible for a Trump presidency. No fucking way.

Fun fact about “fake it til you make it” as a strategy of living, okay:

For the past two years or so I’ve been doing it. Like, wearing clothes I like and agreeing with people telling me I’m pretty and taking loads of selfies and telling myself (and others, loudly) ‘damn I look good today!’

So this summer, my little brother noticed. He’s very sweet and cuddly, so he often tells me I’m beautiful/pretty/cute and a few weeks ago he said to me, “You always agree with me now, you didn’t before.”

Because it’s true, I always used to reply to him things like, ‘that’s not true’ or ‘you’re cuter’ or ‘shhhh noooo’ while now I’m usually like ‘damn right’ or ‘yes i’m super hot.’

So I explained to him the ‘fake it til you make it’ approach.

Now, my brother is really pretty handsome. Like, he could be a model. Like, he’s tall and has dimples, and a dashing smile and great hair and he wears glasses and he’s damn cute and I tell him so all the time, and he always replies like, ‘wtf no I’m ugly’ or ‘no you’re the hotter sibling’ or ‘it’s not true.’

Except, in the past few weeks, after I’ve explained this to him, I noticed he’s starting to answer me with ‘yeah I’m the cutest’ or saying, spontaneously, ‘well we’re the most attractive couple of siblings ever, huh?’

He doesn’t do it all the time, but he’s starting to.

Which I’m starting to realise might be an after effect of what I’ve been doing and showing him.

Bottom line: ‘fake it ‘til you make it’ works and makes you feel better about yourself, and self-love is amazing, and the thing is, it sets an example for the younger people around you, and the people that you love.

So help the world, tell yourself you’re fucking hot.
