[…] he also classified her as a demon, a devil, a fiend, a spirit and a sorceress, descriptions that actually capture her strange essence.

its awesome that neither mind reading nor god are real and all of the thoughts inside of your head are completely private and consequenceless forever #myprivacy

He chose a satin tunic striped black and gold and a fine leather jerkin with silver studs . . . and only then remembered that his wretched sister put more stock in blades than beauty. Cursing, he tore off the clothes and dressed again, in felted black wool and ringmail. (theon v, acok)

At the door she gave him one last mocking smile. "You ought to know, that's the ugliest crown I've ever laid eyes on. Did you make it yourself?" She left him fuming. (theon v, acok)

we talk about the insane sibling beef between renly and stannis but theon being homophobically bullied out of wearing nice clothes and compelled to adopt bland straight man attire only for asha to turn round and be like oh btw! you look fucking ugly in that <3 you need to sort it out! is so fucking funny. i just know that theon was screaming crying throwing up trembling with rage

hate seeing twt nazis be weird about westeros being diverse in akotsk or like any conversation about dorne ever. they would hate to know that i think all the crannogmen are black or a westerosi creole and that the greyjoys are polynesian. now is the time to say that jason momoa is my victarion greyjoy.

[nulnoildrinker]

Ok, hear me out. Morning wood in westeros must surely be called sword of the morning, right? That's peak(e) marcher lord humor right there.

““We tend to be much less paranoid” when scary movies switch to the daytime, making us “all the more vulnerable,” notes Dr Bernice Murphy from Trinity College Dublin, who adds that “if you’re alone in a dark old house you can always find at least some sanctuary in the comforting glare of a candle or an electric light, but no such escape is possible when horror strikes in the brightness of day time.” What’s more, when bad things happen in daylight, there’s simply “an even more profound sense of ‘wrongness’”, she says.”

— David Opie, from Midsommar and the blinding terror of ‘daylight horror’.

PFP change spotted! That cat is so cute. Did you take the picture?

Yes, but it was a long time ago. I found my old phone and decided this photo isn't too bad, although the quality sucks of course. It was taken in a town with a much warmer climate than my hometown - and with a wide variety of bird species, but all my attempts to take a decent photo of a bird failed, so the phone is mostly filled with random cats.
