savage gift — A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (TV)

'The hedge knight lives, so I hear. Licking his wounds and pacing up and down outside the castle wall all hours. Your latest loyal dog.'

// Prince Baelor survives the blow at Ashford Meadow, but not without consequences. The seasons begin to turn.

Chapter 13: SPRING 210 A.C. (III)

"He is– good?" Maekar said, almost tentative. "He is– you believe him to be good?" "He will not hurt me." "You're certain?" "I rather fear I shall hurt him."

"Damn it all, Cromwell, why are you such a... person? It isn't as if you could afford to be." He waits, smiling. He knows what the duke means. He is a person, he is a presence. He knows how to edge blackly into a room so that you don't see him; but perhaps those days are over.

in the world where the dothraki are written well doreah and jhiqui are sansa and arya parallels, irri is a robb parallel, the bloodriders foil the kingsguard (genuinely loyal to dany but willing to call her out on stupid shit), jhogo basically gets show!jorah's arc of being hopelessly in love with and devoted to dany, and rakharo and aggo are a Comedic Duo like pyp and grenn except they band together to mercilessly make fun of jhogo's downbadisms. my mind palace

one of my favourite feelings is setting out writing a longfic and posting as you go and realising about four chapters in that ah. that's what this fic is about. of course it is

especially if it's your first work in the fandom... it's like discovering what actually appeals to you about this text/what the text itself is about. by writing 35k words about it

[palmviolet]

make that 125k words. and now i Really get what i'm writing about

extensor tendonitis is definitely happening (we're so over). i go on medical sites and they're all like '8-12 weeks recovery time' and my stomach plummets so i go on r/running to make myself feel better and these fools are running marathons with it, nothing but two days' off, ice, and a different lacing pattern for their shoes (we're so back)

[palmviolet]

tbf this is what i get for marathon training without a marathon to run. like that constant forward momentum (even watching my mileage/only upping by 10% each week and strength training) can become a problem in itself. the irony is that it became a problem the second i dropped the mileage. how is it i can go from 45km weeks to 15km weeks and it's in the 15km week that everything goes to shit

i’m not going to call myself “the friend who’s too woke” or hedge around my opinion because this is my deeply considered belief: horror literature is the theater of disgust, and the disgust that drives the vast, vast majority of classic horror media from the 1890s-1940s—dracula, jekyll and hyde, king kong, nosferatu, the mummy, universal frankenstein, the wolf man, cthulhu, and more—is the exact disgust that drove the worldwide tide of violence in the 1930s and 40s, a tide that has never fully receded, and you have NO business adapting a piece of classic horror media if you aren’t willing to put in the work to identify what is portrayed as disgusting in that property and enter into some form of dialogue with it. if you don’t want your movie to be “about” race or class or gender or sexuality or ability, you’re free to choose a source material that isn’t already about that, but unluckily for you giant hypersexual apes do not exist in a vacuum
