Kate, now you gotta make art of Rey wearing Ben's clothes like you did with Sansa in Sandor's tunic!

Ahhhhhh haha well somebody already beat me to it (and did it way better than I ever could have), BUT I do have an idea a-brewin’ for a new Reylo piece... ;-)

70 questions- 1, 26, 35 :)

01: Do you have a good relationship with your parents? Yes, sort of.  Comparatively speaking, it’s better than it used to be when I was a kid.  My dad was very authoritarian and judgemental, which I think was a product from being in a home with very irresponsible, neglectful parents.  He just went the other direction.  Basically, there wasn’t much I was allowed to do, so being an only child they gave me stuff instead so I’d be “happy” at home.  I could not talk to my dad about anything without being cut off and it turning into a lecture on what I should think and feel.  The friends I did have never wanted to come over to my house, so in order to have a life, by the time I reached middle school age, I was just straight up lying to them all the time about what I was doing and who I was with.  No cell phones back then so I could get away with so much shit lol.  The one friend they knew about would back up my lies.  But 99% of the time, my parents knew absolutely nothing about my life or interests, not that I was out doing anything that bad.  At 21, I married the first guy that was willing so I could finally get away from them because marriage was the only way it was okay to live with a guy and the only way I could afford to move out.  Horrible divorce 4 years later.  I think that whole thing was my dad’s wake up call that he fucked up and from that point on he became way less rigid and started treating me like an independent adult.  Like night and day almost.  But there’s still residual damage to this day.  My parents and I talk, but we talk about things of little importance.  And there’s tons of stupid normal stuff that I just don’t bother telling them about because it’s easier that way.  It’s taken a lot of years, learning from my fuck ups, and working on myself to get to the point where I don’t feel disconnected from my emotions, I can be honest about my feelings, and handle conflict without being self-destructive.  So to answer the question... yeah it’s better because I’m older and I understand things better.  My dad has made efforts to make meaningful change.  I know he’d do anything for me.  I can forgive.  But there are still parts of me that are walled off from them and I don’t think that will change any time soon.                      

26: What are you craving right now?  Something chocolate, banana cream, or coconut.   

35: Who was the last person you cried in front of?  In front of?  More like cry on.  I’m not normally a crier, but Mr. Bluelemons gets to be the sponge for my hot, snotty, ugly crying. lol

Happy birthday @ellebh!

If I’m not mistaken, today is the big day and even Rory McCann is ready to celebrate! You were one of the first persons I followed on tumblr and every time one of your posts appears on my dash it makes me smile (especially when it’s your art) :)

Hope your day is filled with surprises, good food and good wine!

@ellebh reblogged your post “What do you think about Sansa's crush on Loras?” and added:

#also can't help but compare #loras' dimples at the corner of his mouth #to sandor's twitch #or #loras' thick brown curls #to sandor's lank black hair #or the sweetness of loras' laugh #compared to #sandor's raspyraucousstonescrapingwoodsawsgrindingsnarlingdogpit laugh #or whatever tf lol #anyway #write like the wind grrm

Yesss, that kind of comparison is just... perfect. I mean, Sansa even does it directly, when she’s considering Margaery and Olenna’s invitation in her first ASOS chapter, and does her whole “I wish the Hound were here” bit (among other things, probably to ask for his advice for seeing through liars and such), and then,

When the appointed night arrived, another of the Kingsguard came for her, a man as different from Sandor Clegane as... well, as a flower from a dog.

Also, it’s believed that both Sandor and Loras may have their antecedents in Bretan Braith, a character from GRRM’s Dying of the Light, who has a half-burned face (and a lot of Sandor’s twitches) but the other side is extremely handsome (whereas Sandor is “only average”), and his personality is apparently a bit more Loras-y? (I’ve heard contradicting reports, all I know about DotL is that it’s SF and involves a warrior culture.)

So when we see Loras again, see what the boiling oil did to his face, well... things should be interesting...

@ellebh replied to your photoset “What does a girl do when socially distancing? Bake Finnish sourdough...”

looks perfect! though i assumed the isolation got to you- at first glance i thought you made cookies! ladytp x sweets?🤔🤔🤔... nah!

Well, now that you mention... Hubby and I actually did make apple crumble yesterday! Admittedly it was one of the rare occasions, cooking sweets usually only a few times a year. Maybe I didn't even rate it as ‘real’ cooking as I didn’t take a pic - but there are still leftovers... 😁😜

ellebh replied to your post: What did you think of Joker?

generally I’ll watch anything once, especially an oscar nominated film, but idk, for the life of me I can’t muster the strength to care about anything this film might have to say lol. people I know ask why i haven’t watched it yet and it’s like… forces are stopping me or smthg… ��

Not worth it. It tries soooo hard to “say something” but it just ends up looking ridiculous. There are definitely conversations to be had about how the mentally ill are treated by Society™ buuuut the Joker is not your Poster Boy for Mental Health Rights, fam.

they built up an epic story line only to toss it like a lightsaber over a cliff. we were all duped.

Truly the perfect metaphor for this shitty ending...
