BERTIE CARVEL as BAELOR TARGARYEN in A in A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS | 1.04

My gift to the community:

Pastel Pride flags because my eyes hurt.

I recolored them all stripe by stripe on Photoshop because I'm a *perfectionist*. You can't just lighten a color, you need to adjust the saturation too.

Want to support me? I just published a novel, it's a sapphic western, check it out.

hobbies should not take up this much space. there ought to be a hobby pocket dimension, where I am able to store everything I need in a breadbox that weighs no more than my cat.

I have done it again. I needed a song for a scene - just a little background detail, a few lines. We will never hear the full thing in the story. And yet.

Here it is. All four verses. With a chorus.

I already attempted that soldiers' song for THOSH and thought I had learned my lesson. I had not. This time nobody stopped me and frankly that is on all of you.

Anyway. Meet Bessy of the Blackwater. I am not sorry.

Oh! Bessy kept a tavern By the Blackwater shore, Charged a copper for the ale, A silver for much more. Hey-ho! The brewer's daughter, A danger to behold, She'd empty out your wine cup And leave you short of gold! A maester came from Oldtown,  with knowledge, chain, and scroll,  Said "Madam, I have studied  Each curve and every hole!"  Hey-ho! The brewer's daughter,  She schooled him all the same,  He burned his books and chains that night  And never went back again! A knight rode in from Storm's End, His purse both fat and round, Three days later all he owned Were the breeches on the ground. Hey-ho! The brewer's daughter,  The gods were surely kind,  He swore he'd not been robbed at all—  He'd simply lost his mind! The High Septon paid a visit,  He swore it was to pray—  They found his holy vestments  Hung on her door next day!  Hey-ho! The brewer's daughter,  No god can keep you whole,  For Bessy of the Blackwater  She'll have your sword and soul!

My mom likes to tell me about how when I was a little kid riding public transport with her I'd always smile and giggle and chat with weird old ladies who smelled like cat pee and homeless folks and strangers dressed in bizarre outfits but any time a tidy and respectable businessman in a suit and tie waved at me I'd immediately clam up, and she takes a great deal of pride in my supposed inherentability to clock personalities but the truth is I do vaguely remember those bus rides, and it was never about the clothes or the hair or the smell, but more because everyone "strange" asked interesting questions and listened to what I had to say and seemed to think about what I said while the neat and tidy and rigid folks only ever acted like they were going through the motions, which was boring as hell and also pretty annoying

Well-to-do finance manager with tidy shoes: "Why hello, sweetheart. Can you say 'hi'? Aren't you cute. Are you on a trip with your mom?"

4 year old me: why must we do this

Fantastic old woman in the leopard print coat: "Why yes, my tooth IS real silver! Nobody ever asks me that. Do you like cats?"

4 year old me, suddenly paying attention: Finally, A Person Of Intellect

Imagining Maekar pulling Aerion out of the room after the trial of seven discussion or Baelor pulling Aerion off the tourney field after he kills the horse like this

Stuff like this makes me question if I’m actually passionate about anything

Although he lost the use of both legs, Xie Junwu from Jiangxi Province never lost his sense of freedom. Watch him take on a skateboard from

The use of the princess bride implies that they’re both windex

[pinsir]

it also implies that op developed immunity to windex

Happy pride to the op with immunity to windex

Not to sound like a broken record but does it make anyone else viscerally angry how we realized in the very recent past that we can successfully eradicate devastating human-specific diseases (smallpox) yet now there's a million people telling you not to vaccinate your kids against measles. I know I know "everyone will not just" but also for real we could never have measles again if everyone would just be cool

in the early 21st-century, the “small business” was a sort of small temple run by a local warlord. Patrons could purchase small trinkets and be granted absolution for the sins of their empire. This was called “ethical consumption.”

[romanceyourdemons]

we need fewer songs about falling in love and breaking up and MORE songs about famous disasters of the sea

[romanceyourdemons]

being told you’d cruise the seas for american gold you’d fire no guns, shed no tears, now you’re a broken man on a halifax pier might not be a universal experience, but like neither is the club. so a little perspective might be nice

i do have to say that no matter how shitty any sort of media is or how shitty your own creations are. always remember

did you google how to take a screen shot

there desperately needs to be a separate option to report ads for hijacking your touch screen or automatically launching your browser/app store the moment you scroll past it. "malicious" is not a strong enough word. i need the "go fuck yourself and die in a pit of boiling acid x10000" option

Ten years later, this bit still slaps. They made a great pun and realized they could be nice/inclusive with it too.
