Insane, if you ask me. He wants to make them worse, he wants to be their only shelter, he wants to be their dog...... delicious food cooking in the hotd kitchen these past two seasons

"I barely saw [Tom without the makeup]. Instinctively you treat someone a little bit differently. I was just a little bit more careful around you physically. There was a sort of... You just wanted to prioritize them. You know, you want to make sure that they are okay, which I think is kind of what's going on with the character as well as having to prioritize someone else and sort of shepherd them through the day." helloooooooo

Euron Greyjoy said a bunch of bullshit to get elected at the “saying a bunch of bullshit to get elected” competition. Every time anyone asks him if he’s being for real about #anyofthat, he just shrugs without answering. The most reliable sources we have on his intentions and capabilities are his brother who is terrified of him more than anything else in the world because Euron repeatedly raped him as a child and his other brother who hates him and also knows Euron is lying to him about everything but can’t figure out how. i think he’s on fraud watch the only real thing he wants to do is loot oldtown like every other ironborn ever. prove me wrong. publish the winds of winter

[visenyaism]

And it makes sense why the characters believe the hype. Of course you want to believe this guy is like an unstoppable eldritch antichrist because that’s safer than the real answer: everyone around him allowed it

He doesn’t gain power because he summons the kraken using like a Valyrian blood ritual, he gets it because he appeals to the Kingsmoot’s base ugly violent impulses and desire for stage magic and convinces them to vote for him. He didn’t kill Victarion’s wife, he raped her and Victarion decided to kill her because of his rancid culturally engrained misogyny. He doesn’t send Victarion away on an important mission to steal a dragon, he does it because he knows Victarion is absolutely going to get himself killed. He hasn’t learned anything or done half the shit he’s said, he’s just stolen a lot without understanding it like lots of the ironborn do. He just wants to loot Oldtown.

The hinge on Aeron’s door was rusted, and scraped loud enough to wake him up when it opened. Believing Euron is both unstoppable and unknowingly evil is the preferable alternative to the thought that someone else heard and didn’t do anything about it. Like Euron is a product of his society. Sometimes the monster under your bed that you can’t quite see in the dark is your brother.

[visenyaism]

If they wanted me to believe he was doing real magic he should’ve shown up in the THE WORLD IS FOLDING IN ON ITS HINGES LETS DO REAL ABOMINATION MAGIC half of feastdance and not so much the TYWIN LANNISTER TOLD THE WORLD HE WAS TEN FEET TALL AND UNSTOPPABLE AND SOLID GOLD BUT IT WAS ALL JUST PATRIARCHY SHIT AND ROT half of things. idk

[visenyaism]

the whole point of the Kingsguard is that they’re unbelievably fucking washed like zero heroic deeds on the board just morning noon night overtime fraud aura farming. Complicit in every act of patriarchal violence of the monarchy. Not even that good at fighting. Hypothetical victories only. Like “noooo Arthur Dayne would’ve—” except Arthur Dayne lay down his life to stop a pregnant 15 year-old dying in childbirth from seeing her big brother on her deathbed and then got fucking hosed by teenage Ned Stark and his gay best friend who does not hit 5 foot two. “Ohhhhhh aemon the dragonknight” kept his sister in that damn cage for decades and then died in the service of his brother which is dickrider behavior. Bystanderan Selmy? Washed.

[ladycliostarr]

Jamie Lannister was the only one to stop fucking Aerys and he was fucking 17 at the time. Told no one probably because he trusted none of the idiots in charge of shit to not use the fucking wildfire. Let his name and honor be tossed in the gutter. Rest of those fucks were grown ass men who fucking did nothing to stop that madman.

Then his crazy ass sister fucked literally the whole kingdom up. Fucking Cersei.

my top three theon fake facts

fandom ‘knowledges’ that you’d think are canon the way people talk about them but are in fact not so when u search for them in the books :

1 theon is never described as tall. he even thinks of himself as “smaller than most knights”. he is also never described as handsome by any pov character thinking about him. (only jeyne tells him he “used to be handsome”). the things he is described as most often are: a) smiles a lot b) dark c) lean.

2 theon is never shown insulting jon, bothering jon, belittling jon, bickering with jon, nor does jon or anyone else remember such a thing. (jon complains that theon usually ignored him).

3 it was asha started flirting with theon directly upon engaging him (“that’s a pretty smile!”), and when he eagerly reciprocated and escalated, it is also asha who first touched him sexually (she grabbed his cock).

[nosafeanchorage-deactivated2023]

ALLLlll of these i find psychologically(?) fandom sociologically(?) extremely interesting in how come people end up so convinced of all this, but nr 3 is maybe the most interesting. something about gender that fandom rescripts this scene for asha to have been more passive! also for this moment to be something that should be embarrassing to theon but a win for asha. it’s not! (not really).

obviously, wtf george, wtf, to get the obvious out of the way, but this scene is not (just) meaningless weird kink, theon’s subsequent upset and nausea (he feels violated) serves to establish his mistrust of asha, which will matter later when she will come to winterfell to offer him an out and he can only think of the ways she might be fucking him over. it also tells us something about greyjoy fam, something we will learn more about later, with aeron and euron: asha for some reason thought it would be fun and also expedient to handle this situation like this.

it’s also, after aeron & balon (arguably) the first instance of the theon punishment theme, the he-had-it-coming theme. he’s been a shit to the captain’s daughter and he is indeed unpleasantly overeager with his quest of bedding random women, so it serves him right that something like that would happen to him. right? right? the way we’re introduced into, invited to, even, this line of thinking, with theon, and it builds up, and eventually leads up to adwd, where it’s, oh, shit

she also asks about my other dead brothers and it’s easier to tell her every time that they’re still dead than it is to tell her about theon’s latest dumbfuck exploit. like yes mother he took winterfell 🫩🫩🫩🫩 no i don’t know why either 🫩🫩🫩

do you know how hard it is to find something more miserable than reminding your sundowning mother that two of her other children have been dead for a decade? genuinely my brother’s most impressive feat.
