xiaohongshu going viral in america we are getting complete chinese cultural takeover in 2025!!!! 🎉🎊
I'm not convinced many of the tiktok "refugees" (🙄) will ultimately stay on xhs longterm, but it'd be funny if they did, I guess. Plus it's refreshing to see at least some people not falling for the "matter of national security" xenophobic nonsense
omg deadloch!! i need to watch it. random lore about me but my grandpa was the swim teacher for madeleine sami (lead actress on the show) i have to watch the lesbian crime show in his memory♡
oh that’s lovely!! 💜🫶 she’s a fantastic actor AND she even swims in the show sometimes! (also cannot recommend deadloch enough this show literally has Everything)
your post about ned just bring a fucking retinue is making me crazy like i know its cos its the first book and grrm hadnt quite fleshed out the culture and everything but good god. bring wyman manderly being rickard karstark bring the greatjon. bring WHORESBANE. take on alys karstark and wylla manderly and a couple mormont girls and jonelle cerwyn as sansa's ladies in waiting. take on dacey mormont for arya. actually fucking do anything neddard PLEASE
do you know what would have been so funny is if ned was like “politics are evil. who is the evilest guy i know. oh wait!” and then dialed up roose bolton and says “go wild just keep the north out of it” and roose takes king’s landing APART AKSKDKD. all he ever wanted was someone to give him permission to do the most evil thing he could dream up and now ned is writing him a blank check. AND domeric might live in this scenario so we might have a shot at house bolton being normal for a minute too aksjsj
are you feeling invigorated by the recent rumblings of twow surrounding worldcon and the recent notablog vagues? i think for a lot of newer fans this is their first major twow incident (and i say this as a relatively recent fan, just 2017 lol). do you feel the same hope or have yours been thoroughly quashed? apologies if this is one of those asks you're sick of
Oh, I still feel hope, I'm just extremely jaded to the sort of thing people think are "clues". "Words of Wisdom" = "Winds of Winter" is nonsense (do y'all not remember blowing up his last quote post 3 months ago to no result?), and the deuxmoi blind gossip about GRRM getting a dragon cake party catered was lying nonsense (the submitter confessed on twitter they were half trolling, and also later admitted the catering was for June 16th). If GRRM is done, he'll say so, this isn't an ARG.
And well, as for Worldcon, I went to the one in Chicago in 2012 hoping for a preview chapter read, and got plenty of details about TWOIAF! 😂 Several of my friends have been to other GRRM-attended Worldcons since-- and they're fun, as long as you keep your expectations low. Like, some years ago I was told by a [BNF] friend he had heard from [major BNFs] that he really ought to attend the 2019 Dublin Worldcon, which he thought was a suspicious comment... and welp. 🤷♀️ At least he had a good time in Ireland!
Of course I'll keep an eye out for news out of Glasgow in August, or any actual info before then, but I'm not going to make myself crazy about it, lol.
2. a compelling argument for why your fave would never top or bottom
this requires me to narrow down my favs, which is so much more difficult than i ever could have expected. yin if i don’t answer the ask quickly this was why. catelyn tully would never top because ned lays pipe and she’s a freak like that. saw a ss of a reddit post that was like ‘my wife likes to get blitzed and then come home and have me fuck her brains out’ and thats her. brienne is never bottoming and jaime is never topping because jaime has some kind of reversed gender thing going on that makes him want to be a girl but not to another man. and brienne lives to serve. she literally is a sword. and thats a penis metaphor as we all know. margaery is never topping men because despite being the first ally in westeros she thinks thats weird. these are compelling arguments to me! daenerys stormborn is NEVER. NEVER NEVER NEVER. never bottoming because A). thats the prince that was promised B). jon likes to get dicked down C). i personally believe that being sold and traded will lees her to discover (amidst her several trysts with irri jhiqui and doreah (bc u cant tell me otherwise. irri is canon first of all)) that she, as the breaker of chains and mother of dragons and khaleesi of the great grass sea, is not inclined to experience things at the whim of others but rather the opposite. is that appropriate to say.
6. which ship fans are the most annoying?
oh god. SORRY PLEASE DONT SHOOT ME EVERYONE! daemyra (this might be biased bc i just dont like daemyra) some sansan ppl really get under my skin…. LUCEMOND JESUS CHRIST. almost forgot about them (was almost free). wow sorry lucemond shippers first place for annoying. its not that im an omegaverse toxic incest yaoi anti its just. Its the people it truly is i cannot even enter that circle. there is a blog on here though i can’t remember the url of that makes cute sfw art that doesnt frighten me and ive been known to browse, even hit like once or twice. lucemond still stay away from me please
8. common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about
daenerys is not going to be queen of the seven kingdoms NOR SHOULD SHE BE. if daenerys takes the iron throne the whole series is pointless
12. the unpopular character that you actually like and why more people should like them
what qualifies as unpopular. also what do we consider like. because i consider like as in ‘this is a fun character to see interact with the world’ and NOT!!!!!!!!! ‘i support this guy’. just to clarify for any other viewers at home. a character ive seen a lot of people Dislike but i think deserves to be heard out is criston because he’s funny and thats it thats why everyone should like him. but i dont consider him unpopular? hmm tough tough …… will i get flayed if i say larys like i mean he’s just sick i love wondering what is going on in that head. in regards to characters i think are not given enough attention: jaehaera targaryen. ‘she’s a little girl shes a non-character’ SHUT UP. she’s a little girl exactly. she didn’t get the chance to be her own person she is alicent’s pain helaena’s pain and her own. GOD MY BABY GIRL….. she names her dragon death…… AUGH DONT EVEN TALK TO ME DOONNTTT EVEN. um also rhaella, daughter of rhaena the lesbian AND! mother of daenerys. bc first of all rhaella and aerea switches thats true. so like. rhaella septa rhaella wondering if that was meant to be her. wondering if maybe it would have never happened if she hadn’t traded places. is it kinder to force her twin into the faith or to let her die? Augh. also daenerys’ mommy just… why dont we know about her i need more people on here like me willing to band together to make up canon. i guess thats not really a reason why people should like them. ALSO SHIREEN BARATHEON I DONT KNOW IF YOU CAN TELL BUT IM THE BIGGEST SHOOTER FOR SHIREEN THATS BABY THATS MOTHER THATS THE PRINCESS THATS MY DAUGHTER THATS ME I LOVE HER SO BAD OH NY GOD SHIREEN PEASE COME HOME THE PEOPLE MISS YOU. and i know everyone dgaf about baby boy bowl cut brown boba eyed broken bran. but i gave birth to him. and thats why you should like him.
i don’t consider myself a targ girlie and then it comes to questions abt asoiaf and i can only answer in reference to them 😔 tried to be diverse 🤞
ooo who do u like in jujutsu kaisen? im a huge maki and nobara girl<3
GOD hi i could talk ab this forever but my top 3 in no particular order are gojo, megumi, and junpei!!! nobara is probably in top 5 she slays!! i also really like todo
you mentioned the underland chronicles, did you ever read them and if so would you recommend them? im interested since i loved the hunger games and am interested in suzanne collins' other work.
Yeah I think they’re fun! Definitely intended for a slightly younger audience but they still have really strong themes surrounding family, environmentalism, and prejudice. I think overall the first Hunger Games book is stronger writing, but I have more nostalgia for the Underland series, and Luxa primed me for ASOIAF (royal family with white hair and purple/pink/red eyes who fly giant bats and keep trying to kill each other).
kia ora so happy to see you guys active again here! can i ask, have you guys kept up with the actors, how are they doing?
Kia ora!
@minniegraced here, your go to gal for NMTDaily.
Short answer: Yes. Pretty good!
Longer answer: I cannot comment on everyone (and if I did we'd be here for hours), but I know that many of us have kept up with each other in different ways and to different degrees. Everyone's relationship with the internet and being online has changed over the years too - though I believe many of us are on Instagram these days. You should be able to find most folks who continue an online presence by looking through TCW's insta followings.
