Fear Cuts Deeper Than Swords @quotesofthrones - Tumblr Blog

The biggest death this season was the writing.

The consensus is in: Dan and Dave singlehandedly ruined years of character development and created the absolute worst episode of Game of Thrones to date and we all hate them for it.

Me, an intellectual:

I can never understand how Snape apologetics can stand up for him when he CANONICALLY does this shit.

I can maybe, maybe, understand those who haven’t read the books standing up for him, because honestly the movies don’t cover all the horrible stuff he does. But those who have read the books and still stick up for him baffle me.

I mean, you don’t see anyone sticking up for the Dursley’s or Umbridge, when they do the same stuff to Harry as Snape. How is Snape any different?

Both of the Stark girls are kinda annoying in the beginning actually

Female clothing: no pockets

Gollum’s 500 year old tattered rags: has pockets where he keeps "fishbones, goblins’ teeth, wet shells, a bit of bat-wing, a sharp stone to sharpen his fangs on, and other nasty things.”

JK Rowling: I shall name him my villain Voldemort. It is French for "fleeing from death", indicative of his primary desire to become immortal, and the fear that motivates him.

JK Rowling: These two characters can turn into a black dog and a werewolf

JK Rowling: theyre called black dog and werewolf mcwerewolf

westerosi house words, rated

House Bolton: “Our Blades Are Sharp”

solid but workmanlike house words. good implicit threat. could have been a bit more poetic, but then again, so could most of the Boltons 7/10

House Greyjoy: “We Do Not Sow”

really just a sentence that deserves a polite “oh?” in response 3/10

House Lannister: “Hear Me Roar!”

a good and fearsome lion image, but undercut by the exclamation point which frankly by lannister standards is trying too hard. if you asked tywin lannister about this, he would tell you with quiet irritation that the exclamation point was not his doing 9/10

House Arryn: “As High as Honor”

very poetic and elegant, and a nice reference to the Eyrie. clearly means to instill admiration rather than fear, and it works. unfortunately, also invites humorous drug-related double entendres 8/10

House Tyrell: “Growing Strong”

needs serious reconsideration! implies that house tyrell is not already strong! all for the sake of a weak pastoral pun! 2/10

House Stark: “Winter is Coming”

unbelievably goth. not only promises the destruction of you and all your loved ones but also possibly of the starks and all their loved ones. the ultimate buckle the fuck up house words 11/10

House Tarly: “First in Battle”

nicely aggressive! but ambiguous. does this mean house tarly is first onto the field, or first numerically when the winners are ranked, because that’s not really how battles work. it must also be said that these house words sound like a high school superlative. 6/10

House Targaryen: “Fire and Blood”

good use of dramatic standalone nouns. very threatening, if a tad unhinged, which is a decent summation of house targaryen. at least they’re honest about it 8/10

House Martell: “Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken”

are you tho. 9/10 if read alone but 5/10 when read with the cruel dramatic irony of the series

House Tully: “Family, Duty, Honor”

the worse of the two mottos separated by two commas. unlike “Fire and Blood,” none of these nouns is romantic or exciting enough to inspire my loyalty. sounds vaguely like a westerosi sequel to eat pray love 4/10

House Baratheon: “Ours is the Fury”

the perfect house words. confident, dynamic, and unifying. also thrillingly catchy and filled with the thirst of war itself. would be so satisfying to scream before riding onto a battlefield 10/10

House Wode: “Touch Me Not”

same. 15/10

fanonical

if lemony snicket wrote harry potter

Krum attacked Fleur, who responded with “Sacré bleu!” This exclamation is a phrase with many possible meanings and connotations. Literally, it translates to ‘sacred blue’, a phrase which does not appear to make much literal sense, and might lead an earwitness to suspect that the speaker is invoking some kind of nefarious coded phrase. The French invented it as a way to swear without invoking the name of God, as ‘bleu’ and ‘Dieu’ are similar sounding words, such as ‘look’ and ‘book’, or ‘code’ and ‘forebode’, or even ‘last breath’ and ‘painful death’.

This history, while fascinating, is not in fact relevant to this situation. For I, dear reader, happen to be privy to exactly what the young Miss Delacour meant when she exclaimed “Sacré bleu!”, thanks to a chance interview in a crowded fish statue three years after the fact. And so “Sacré bleu” in fact here means ‘oh fucking shit’.

when do u suppose grrm will release twow? best guess?

when the sun rises in west and sets in the east… when the seas go dry and the mountains blow in the wind like leaves… when your womb quickens again and you bear a living child… then TWOW will be released, and not before.

it’s weird but i feel bad like i thought david and dan was this controlled beast confined to game of thrones, a trial only for asoiaf and got fans to suffer, alas i was naïve and underestimated the power of white male mediocrity and the beast has been unleashed upon star wars. i’m so sorry y’all
