I haven’t been on much lately because I was preparing for / moving to another country by myself and now I’m here and I guess I didn’t prepare enough!! Because I’m missing my family/friends/home to a level I didn’t anticipate asdhfjkfk I mean it’s the first day so I’m still jetlagged and maybe that’s part of how I’m feeling?? But I’m also like OF COURSE IT’S HARD U IDIOT, you moved to a new country by yourself and you have anxiety, WHY are you even doing this to yourself Like ngl the thought of eating by myself at a restaurant/cafe or even going to the grocery store seems exhausting and scary right now and I’m just spiraling like omg I’m never gonna make friends here and I’ll just be lonely and weird and miserable!!! UGH ANYWAY... it’s annoying because this is such a great opportunity and something that I did Just For Me and I should feel lucky... but right now it’s so overwhelming and I can’t help how I feel Anyone who has done something like this (and/or have anxiety in situations like these) have any tips???

Why This Fan Fiction Site’s Surprise Hugo Nomination Is Such a Big Deal

The fan-works site Archive of Our Own stands out as a dynamic, welcoming corner of the internet. That’s a triumph of its female coders and writers.

I wrote this. I hope you like it. It’s my version of vomiting rainbows onto a page.  (Also A+++ to the artist following my suggestion of “some famous fictional characters sitting around together with laptops.”)

[cfiesler]

… and now, A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to AO3 for winning! As I wrote in this piece after their nomination, this is a huge triumph for not only fandom, but for diversity in scifi and for diversity in technology development. <3

“Being a hero or a leader isn’t about having complete faith in yourself—it’s about believing in the people who have rallied behind you.” — Alwyn Hamilton

I saw this quote and couldn’t help but think of the three current queens in GoT, and how S7 contrasted the queens’ leadership strategies and priorities against each other. One way they were contrasted was through their relationship with, and belief in, their supporters. 

Do you remember what Father used to say about people?

The lion does not concern himself with the opinions of the sheep.

Do you know what kept me standing, through all those years in exile? Faith. Not in any god, not in myths and legends. In myself. In Daenerys Targaryen. The world hadn’t seen a dragon in centuries, until my children were born. The Dothraki hadn’t crossed the sea, any sea. They did for me. I was born to rule the Seven Kingdoms, and I will.

Sansa: I listened to their complaints, which is my responsibility as Lady of Winterfell.

Arya: Their opinions are important to you.

Sansa: Winterfell didn’t just fall into our hands. We took it back—and the Mormonts and the Hornwoods and the wildlings and the Vale. All of us, working together. Now, I’m sure cutting off heads is very satisfying, but that’s not the way you get people to work together.

Only Sansa shows that she believes in those who have rallied behind her. She listens to the opinions of her supporters, even when it’s difficult. Working together—not narcissistically disregarding supporters’ opinions or contributions to your cause—is the right way to rule.

Who gives a fuck?  If I have to read any more of this shit in which someone has the three female characters engaged in some kind of fandom catfight, I’m going to throw up.  Why don’t you compare Sansa to her brother Bran and decide who will be the better king?

[thewolfbit]

If you don’t give a fuck, why are you on my post?

I’m exhausted by people claiming that the climactic political conflict in GoT is a “catfight.” I compared these three characters (in this post that I wrote over a year ago) because they were framed as the three figures in the War of the Three Queens, and because the show provided them very interesting (and not at all subtle) parallels in their lines about ruling, as I said in my post.

If you think the Three Queens can’t be compared in the same way the Five Kings were, then idk what to tell you.

And yep I wrote this over a year ago, so no, it doesn’t involve Bran’s ruling style lol

[kyloren]

say what you will about s8, but without it we wouldn’t have such beautiful Jonsa gems as:

jon snow??? whomst??? JIM FROST & @jimsainthenorth

THEY BOTH FAILED GEOGRAPHY!? WHAT SHALL THEY DO?!

[ladyandtheghost]

Shit at geography...

…but can locate each other from miles away in a battlefield

[littlegirlinvisible]

We never should have left Winterfell. Don’t you wish we could go back to the day we left? I want to scream at myself, “Don’t go, you idiot.” How could we know?

[selkiewife]

Having my favorite actor Alfie Allen on my favorite show Harlots has been like when you invite your best friend to meet all your other best friends and you are like so in love with all of them and hope they love each other…. and then the best friend you invited accidentally ends up instigating a series of dumpster fire events that lead to the death of your other best friend.

I mean, we’ve all been there, right?

[absurdsoutherner]

Oh no! 😭

[alaynestcnes]

you ever just think about how jon & sansa were both kind & lonely souls who only wanted to find someone who loves them for who they are, have kids & a family, rebuild their childhood home, keep the people they love safe, & live their life in peace without harming anyone & they really could have achieved all of that together bc they had the same goals, ideals, & really were in the position to make it all possible...but now they’ll likely never get the chance

[thewolfbit]

I basically put all my unhealthy love and attachment for GoT and POURED it onto Harlots and now.......... I’m betrayed all over again!!!
