tagged by @nyx4 thank you!! ❤ ❤
1. "We are war boys! War boys! Kamakrazee war boys! War boys! Fukushima kamakrazee war boys!"
- Mad Max: Fury Road
I understand that the Warboys are a cult but I still love their intensity. This scene was a great way to showcase their commitment and how they work as a unit. I also just really like male scrutinized chanting.
2. Anne Boleyn: I've heard what your courtiers say and I've seen what you are. You're spoiled and vengeful and bloody. Your poetry is sour and your music is worse. You make love as you eat, with a good deal of noise and no subtlety.
King Henry VIII: This is not safe.
Anne Boleyn: Yes, I've been told it's not safe for any of us to say no to our King. That put on, kindly, hail-fellow-well-met of yours. My father's house will be pulled down, and Northumberland's too, they tell me. Well, pull them down, Your Majesty, you are what I said. -Anne of the Thousand Days
I love this scene so much that I gifed it at one point and posted it here. Historically inaccurate but a fantastic takedown of Henry King of Assholes.
3. “Robert could piss in a cup and men would call it wine, but I offer them cold clear water and they squint in suspicion and mutter to each other about how queer it tastes." -(Stannis Baratheon) GRRM, ASOIAF
By this point I’m, sure Stannis has no teeth left. This quote is his life and his problems in a nutshell. People loved his brother more. Robert was charismatic and people wanted to follow him. Stannis, though an honest man, is the complete opposite.
4. “You know I take the Knight of Courage as my patron. There is courage, I think, in open-mindedness, and thinking for oneself. If you are a witch, then perhaps witches are not so wicked after all.” ― Samantha Shannon, The Priory of Orange Tree
Lady Margaret Beck! She was a wonderful side character with some great lines. She def would have been a gryffindor.
5. He smiles like a hungry fairy-tale wolf. “You are not at all my type. You’re far too sweet and plain. Nothing like my Zara. Yet I am fascinated by you. I dream of you, you know. I dream of us together, traveling the world, performing for royalty. I dream of covering you with jewels and fine dresses, spoiling you with delights.”
“Please do not say such things,” I say. I try to pull away, but his grip tightens. “Clara,” he whispers, his hot breath on my earlobe, “you have bewitched me.” - The Mermaid's Sister, Carrie Anne Noble
This scene sent shivers down my spine in the bad way. I already knew this character and his family were terrible but this scene revealed that he was a Grade A creeper to boot.
