and the septons say we must love our brothers. i will go to my grave thinking of my brother's peach. dear brother, i had hoped you were dead. they're not supposed to have statues, but my father loved them so much he had them done. when we were girls together, we had a private language, she and i. we're not friends, we're brothers. you may be as different as the sun and the moon, but the same blood flows through both your hearts. i have to be as brave as robb. the sound of a door opening, the scream of a rusted iron hinge. it all goes back and back, to our mothers and fathers and theirs before them; we are puppets dancing on the strings of those who came before us, and one day our own children will take up our strings and dance on in our steads

amok time bottomifing kirk was genius actually because i do believe that this man, who is in a position of leadership and who is constantly reminded of the weight every choice he makes and every word he says has, needs to be manhandled from time to time. for the good of the soul

i think it’s brilliant how spock is incredibly stronger than kirk (and not only that, as he is physically larger as well). how the first officer makes his captain look so weak, so frail, outisde the bridge, outside the ship, ripped from any resemblance of being in control. also it’s so fucking hot

what the fuck

@judedeluca OMG SOMEONE NOTICED I DO THIS.

I did a lot of research on this, actually. Despite all my pouring through comics, I couldn’t find a very clear reference to the official design of Roy’s Navajo band. It always seemed really....generic. According to my RP partner who regularly writes for Arsenal, it was supposed to essentially translate to “friend.” Which was odd, because there IS a symbol for friend. In the shape of crossed arrows. Which is already thematically appropriate.

Now I fully admit, I do not and cannot claim any sort of Native American genealogy, but I still felt it important to give Roy a proper tattoo to tastefully represent him, his comics history, and his Navajo heritage. Which meant diving into research! I particularly wanted to shape around his Diné name of Lost Arrow, and put together this design, which I use for all my Roy pics:

A lot of wandering and travelling imagery. Of course, crossed arrows for “friendship,” as originally intended. Saddlebags for “long journeys.” The circles up top are the passage of time, and the mountain range also represents a great journey, sometimes interpreted as a return to home. 

I’ll be honest, even if I did get my hands on the full original design, I’ve gotten too used to drawing out mine to really consider changing it up. It’s become a part of the Roy Harper as I envision him at this point.

stavos is a funny ship because stannis has extensive textual references that point to his queerness while the only thing that makes davos bisexual is that he’s crazy

you have no idea how often i think about thoros refusing to kiss catelyn. you have no idea how often i think about the first last kiss thoros gives beric, a kiss that didn’t serve any purpose at all save to say i love you. thoros not being able to let beric go and resurrecting him again and again, against his will, until it becomes a kiss more akin to violence than to love. i can’t get the image of thoros taking beric’s body out of sight to kiss him where no one else could see after sandor’s trial by combat. their overarching story is not subtle in how it mirrors frankenstein’s but it’s also leans very heavily on the “true love’s kiss” element. it’s one of the most openly queer relationships in asoiaf and people don’t… talk about it. thoros had given others the last kiss “but never before had I felt a dead man shudder as the fire filled him, nor seen his eyes come open”. that’s snow white. that’s the sleeping beauty. that’s a love story.

the main and frankly only reason thoros hasn’t given up on the brotherhood despite understanding that the path lady stoneheart treks is a treacherous one is because of beric. because thoros refused him and beric paid the price. lady stoneheart is beric dondarrion’s ghost, too, in more ways than one.
