Adolin: Father, I killed Sadeas.

Dalinar: Well, what am I supposed to do now, Adolin? What am I supposed to do now?

Adolin: Well, I’ll be honest, Father. I would like all the credit without any of the blame.

does nobody ship jasnah and kaladin I have pent up feelings about this

I’m not huge on shipping in general, but I definitely wouldn’t ship the two asexual characters with one another. Jasnah has tons of dialogue about not being interested in romance and there are plenty of passages that hint at abuse in her past. Jasnah is a strong, independent woman who don’t need no man. Besides that, she hates men. If anything, she’s a lesbian, but I think there’s plenty of evidence that she is asexual AND aromantic.Kaladin has the notion that everything he loves dies and has become distant and withdrawn. We’ve even seen evidence of him being careful about friendships becoming too strong because he knows that they’ll end in death or betrayal, both of which we have seen on-screen. Kaladin is wary about forming real relationships, but the relationships we do get from him are much stronger with the men he spends time with rather than the women. Honestly, his relationships with any member of Bridge Four, Adolin or even Renarin, I would argue have more romantic potential than his relationship with any of the ladies he interacts with.

I think Kaladin at this point in the story is frigid, more interested in emotional bonding than sexual, and would rather find a sensual and non-sexual relationship with a friend. We’ve seen evidence that he’s interested in having a family of his own one day and maybe even a child, but with his fear that they’ll only be taken away from him, I’d say he’s too scared to try. Disregarding that, Kal and Jasnah haven’t really shared any significant dialogue with one other and have no chemistry, so I have no idea where this ship even comes from, though it is one that I do see often. You’re not alone, I just don’t happen to be one of the people that shares this sentiment.

sexist/racist in what way?

well i remember all the controversy for slap bet 3 when they put everyone in yellow face which was pretty disgusting (tbh that’s the only blatantly racist thing i can think of besides the complete lack of poc) but i caught eps on fx the other day and there was a joke like every 2 minutes or so that made me uncomfortable for various reasons. things like the hot/crazy scale or talking about how a woman has crazy eyes, most things barney does are pretty sexist and i really do think the finale kind of implied that women are most useful to have children (i dont think that was intentional but it was there) 

i think for the most part they managed to avoid sexist portrayals of robin and lily but every time they brought in an outside female it tended to be problematic in some way or they just always portrayed outside women in a negative way (minus the mother of course)

also i totally agree, i recently did a rewatch and was actually appalled at times, and there were several straight up uses of t****y :// this show is going to get super outdated super fast

oh man i know i caught an ep the other day where they used it and i was like yikes and the ep where they’re talking about how every person has on ‘oh’ moment and ted is imagining robin’s and they’re at the altar and she’s like ‘i used to be a dude’ which was gross and offensive

one thing to note is that grrm writes slaves as having all skin tones, not just brown/black. that was D&D's call

that is true, but the Dothraki are all brown and Dany’s actions affect brown/black bodies more than any other POV character’s. so while D&D cast exclusively dark skinned people, they weren’t exactly doing it from nothing. It’s in the books too.

You being Palestinian, how do you deal with all of it? I mean, for example, I have a tendency to block out and not dwell on things I can't control... And I can't imagine the feeling of knowing all the injustices that are happening in your home country, and then retaining any sort of peace of mind. I often tune things out because that emotional baggage can get so heavy... How do you deal with it?

The short response is I’m used to it. This sort of thing has been happening to my people since before they were born; I’ve heard about the injustices against them for as long as I can remember, and by now it comes as no surprise.

Of course that is not to say that it doesn’t break my heart each time I hear that another civilian was killed, or that another one of my people is resorting to violent means to make a point, or that airstrikes are terrorizing and slaughtering my people and destroying their lives. The best thing for me to do is hear their stories, thank God that it was not my family that was affected, and keep hoping for better days.

And it is rough. I mean, I still cry whenever I hear about another child being killed, I still get angry when I hear Israel’s anti-Palestinian propaganda on every media outlet, it still frustrates me to talk about the issue with people who think that Palestinians are somehow to blame for their own suffering. Whenever I pass by the Israeli flag that hangs at the Birthright kiosk at my uni I have to grit my teeth and force myself to walk past it rather than question those tabling why they feel like they have a right to visit my homeland for free, whereas I can’t even enter through Israel, but rather have to fly to Jordan, cross the border, and go through numerous checkpoints before I can see my family in the West Bank.

The best thing I do to cope is to vent on outlets like tumblr, talk to my friends and family about it, remind myself that I’m not alone in my anger and sorrow, and keep pushing the truth of the matter so the misconceptions people have can be replaced with the hard truth.

But I personally cannot tune it out. It’s heavy and it’s difficult, but I have to face it. I’d much rather do that than claim to be ignorant of it, or keep out of it, because I have a voice that can be used to change things.
