europeans be like “omg north americans are so racist it’s horrible” and then elect fascists

[thebellekeys]

I would like to emphasize that I agree with all of these tags by the way. My post wasn't aiming to pin all of Europe's grotesque racism on the new elections.

[dailymanners]

A few weeks ago I was at a board game night with some of my old classmates from various mainland European countries. They started talking about how horrible Trump's treatment of immigrants is and how they're so glad to be in Europe where nothing like that is happening right now. I asked them what they thought about the fact that their own governments were complicit in turning the Mediterranean into a mass grave of asylum seekers, and some of them legitimately didn't even know and were surprised to hear that their own governments had enacted policies that caused the deaths of thousands of asylum seekers.

Even here in Iceland, almost nobody has been talking about the fact that some of the far right populist parties have legitimately been talking about wanting to establish detainment camps to keep asylum seekers in.

This post is a few months old now, and the bit about Iceland is now outdated, because Alþingi (the Icelandic parliament) passed the bill approving the detention center for asylum seekers. It will be legal to handcuff and detain children there.

Never let anyone from Europe feed you the lie that racism and fascism are unique to North America in the 21st century.

So many criticisms of the Mad King play are funny because so many people are mad that the character who was portrayed as a tragic, romantic, figure in the books is portrayed as a tragic, romantic figure in the play.

truly love how the hedge knight ends with dunk calling all of prince maekar's sons freaks and that egg should get out of there while he's still young and has a chance of being normal. and maekar is just like 'well. i can't argue with that lol' and lets this absolute random dude try his hand at raising his son

People seeing Edmure as a more moral person than Dany when all he said was “my people they were afraid” vs Dany being an abolitionist is actually pretty accurate to the centrist liberal mindset that prefers pretty words over actual material change that will change peoples lives.

domeric bolton contestant for funniest character ever. imagine your father is The Most Evil Man Alive. then he has your bastard little brother who somehow is also The Most Evil Man Alive. the banner of your noble house is a flayed man because your family has done that as a hobby for centuries. your father and your brother love flaying people. you live in a place called THE DREADFORT. but you are just some guy. so while they torture people you ride horses. you play the harp. you learn history. and then you die murdered by The Most Evil Man Alive your bastard brother. what a life.

one of my favorite side bits of Game of Thrones is how all the adult characters with little better to do just eventually adopt Pod. like you’ve got Tyrion “half a keg” Lannister sending that boy to the brothel and demanding the scoop after……. and then you’ve got Brienne “I’m not your mother” Tarth, who has him do chores (that he more or less fails at), trains with him for an hour a day, and only allows him a half cup of wine before the Battle Against Magic Zombies That Decides The Fate Of The Realm. truly the squire of all time

My original digital art was inspired by the idea of young Jon and Robb being Winterfell's "Mightiest" Defenders.

And yes, Ned, stealing their father's best cloaks was COMPLETELY necessary to properly defend the North.

This is a perfect example of why we need things designed for a variety of body types.  Far too many plus-sized clothes are skinny clothes just made bigger, which rarely (if ever) have the desired effect.  Not only do things not look the same in this context, it’s fair to say they were not designed (or redesigned) to look good on these different body shapes.  The options are often mumus or things not really designed for you.

This man has come up with a variety of amazing outfits that look fantastic on his body. We need more of this.

I love you sir. You are gorgeous and we should say so.

Dunk is lowkey so Y/N coded. Like what if you showed up at a tourney in Westeros and there were a bunch of Targaryens there and also a hot Baratheon dilf and for some reason they were all totally obsessed with you.

One legitimately weird thing about Tumblr is that we literally can’t code for shit, many people quit working at Tumblr due to a hostile work environment, and we can’t seem to program a simple blogging website to not flood your RAM.
