Torture by waterboarding aside Helaena calling Rhaenyra ugly and Rhaenyra retaliating by having her friends hold her down and pour soup on her is the first time they’ve ever acted like sisters

the funniest part about robb and edmure’s relationship is that no matter how many times robb commands his uncle to address him as “your grace” he just…doesn’t. not even on purpose. not to be disrespectful. not to make a point. it’s just like an instinct for edmure to greet him with a “yo robb what’s up” 🙂‍↔️ whereas the blackfish refers to robb as “your grace” even when he’s just casually talking to catelyn one on one. because to be fair edmure was literally there the day that robb was born. he’s only ever known his nephew as an infant and then one day this teenage boy just shows up out of nowhere and suddenly he’s a king except he’s still growing out his first beard and he’s super attached to his pet dog and he’s constantly reminding his mom that he’s a GROWN UP now and he doesn’t need her approval (but also he really really really wants it). also when you’ve seen your sister’s kid in diapers it’s probably a little hard to take his authority seriously.

case in point:

(ACOK, Catelyn I)

flash forward and robb corrects him AGAIN:

but five seconds later:

(ASOS, Catelyn II)

(he does not gaf) (I love them)

"Average Northman is Honorable" factoid actually just a statistical error Ned Stark was an outlier Average Northman is named Brandon Babyeater lives in a tent sewn of the skins of murdered civilians and goes to war exclusively to cleave infants in twain and sodomize reachmen

Tyrion's sexual abuse is often viewed as something that only happened in the past when it's actually something he still experienced as an adult. Tywin is constantly trying to have control over his sexuality from his relationships to who he has sex with this is why he has to keep Shae a secret and why he goes to extreme measures to keep her hidden. He forces Tyrion to marry Sansa then tries to pressure him into consummating it when he clearly doesn't want to. He has Shae talk about her and Tyrion's sex life in front of everyone at his trial. All of this is sexually abusive and it's not acknowledged anywhere near enough

"You may take my castle, but you will win only bones and blood and ashes."

"They stole my crown and murdered my daughter, and they shall answer for it."

"Dwarf or leech, this killer served the kingdom well. They must send for me now." "They will not," said Melisandre. "Joffrey has a brother."

the racism that is front and center in hotd is actually mind boggling to me. just the most brazen, careless, hateful stuff thrown on screen with what seems to be not a moment of hesitation. you will not see me back for season 4

CHARACTERS WHO HAVE FAILED TASK 1- “DO NOT GET FUCKING STUCK IN THE RIVERLANDS” (non-exhaustive):

Jaime Lannister- this bitch was stuck there for a book and a half and WHAT did he do as SOON as he got home? Gentle reader??? What did he do????? That man walked RIGHT BACK in there. Did nottttttt learn his lesson from the last time he went to the Riverlands to help his family out. Has been to Harrenhal too many times. No-hoper!

Brienne of Tarth- ever since Renly died she has been stuck in the Riverlands. Runs around in circles saving orphans, who are ALSO stuck in the Riverlands. Oxygen masks, my friends ☝️

Catelyn Tully Stark- we thought she could do it!! We thought she could get out!! She married out and everything!!! And THEN she even DIED!!!! But even death will not save you from Getting Stuck In the Riverlands. Let this be a lesson…

Beric Dondarrion- got stuck in the Riverlands and could not be freed by death until he passed on the curse to someone else. But don’t worry! He’s still there. In the minds of the Riverlanders he lingers yet…

The Brotherhood Without Banners- stuck in the Riverlands. Loras Tyrell, Ned did you a favor by not letting you go with them!!!

Various and sundry orphans- inclusive Gendry, Edric D, Willow, etc: STUCK!!!!!!

Pod- I understand the instinct to flee King’s Landing to the Riverlands, much as I understand the instinct to flee Scylla’s heads in favor of Charybdis. I really do understand it. But the thing is that Charybdis is actually a lot more certain to kill you than Scylla is. Because Scylla is not sucking you in, she’s just kinda jabbing and bobbing and weaving and taking your head off if she can, while Charybdis will Swallow You Whole. STUCK!

Sandor Clegane- you can all but die, renounce your name and your life, and start over on an island that is very nearly not even IN the Riverlands! and all it will do is prove that you are not getting out of the fucking Riverlands.

Arya Stark- spends TWO WHOLE BOOKS and crucial parts of another in the Riverlands and even now that she is ACROSS THE FUCKING OCEAN from the Riverlands her soul is still. roaming around the Riverlands.

Vargo Hoat & co.- proving that the Riverlands eat everyone, good and bad alike!

Daemon Targaryen- got so stuck in the Riverlands he and his double murder-suicided each other

Aemond Targaryen- see above

Robb Stark- got stuck in the Riverlands!! Despite valiant attempts to a) go West, and b) go back home, HE GOT STUCK in the glue trap known as the Riverlands!!!

Rhaena Targaryen (Rhaena the Lesbian)- she seems to have been chill about it but she did in fact get stuck in the Riverlands at crucial points in her life, such as notably the end of it

Red Wedding “guests”- big long list but this includes current prisoners, current dead people, the bride, the groom, and the entirety of House Frey, barring the ones running around getting cannibalized up north who I will concede did get out of the Riverlands.

Harrenhal’s ghosts- as seen with Rhaena, Daemon, Aemond, the Curse of Harrenhal, the Tourney of Harrenhal, etc, one of the best ways for the Riverlands to Get You is through Harrenhal, a big fucking haunted house-ass castle which is like the black hole in the middle of the Riverlands glue trap. If you get sucked in you are NOT getting out. Cumulative effect! The more people get trapped by Harrenhal, the better Harrenhal is at Getting You. WATCH OUT!!!

That Fucking Bear- ITS CORPSE YET ROTS. IN THE PIT.
