It remains immensely funny to me how much of early modern literature seems to have comprised what were essentially flame-wars

sometimes when we deal with people who are confident believing in conservative ideology, we get insecure like “are they really wrong? am i really right?” it’s sometimes hard to believe in your own truth when being debated like that. it can help to go to your friends/comrades and tell them and get their feedback! cuz theyll be like “dont worry hon, that person was wrong” and youll feel better

it’s funny becuz, i know someone who often takes conservative stances like this in our conversations, but she also tells me “your generation doesnt use internal validation enough, you always rely on external validation and thats not always safe/reliable”. it’s like, hello, if i was better at relying on internal validation, i would disagree with you stronger, bub!!!!!!

It’s not my style to block people in general, even people who I heavily disagree with on ideological grounds. But man, some recent misadventures while checking some fandom tags made me really, really, REALLY tempted to do it.

The problem is not that these people dislike what I like or disagree with my opinions about it. The problem is that they behave like incredibly petulant assholes when stating their points, while simultaneously making factual statements to support their arguments that are inaccurate at best, completely false and bordering on illiteracy or insanity at worst.

More than once I have come along a post that makes me want to scream to the person responsible: “NO! That’s not what happened! That scene doesn’t mean what you think it means! You are deliberately misconstruing things if not outright pulling stuff out of your ass, and your attempts to roast or spite the fans of this piece of media/character/pairing that you hate so much only paint you as an incredibly bitter fool”.

There has been a couple of instances when someone did piss me off enough to send them a short but rather impolite response in the post itself. But I honestly tend to refrain from doing that or even engaging with these people at all.

I just don’t have the time or energy to get involved into what ultimately will devolve into a pointless and acrimonious Internet spat. Nothing I say will make them change their minds or stop behaving like jackasses, so the best thing I can do is try to ignore their posts and just focus on the content that I like.

I just wish it was easier and that I didn’t have to dig through avalanches of crap when looking for said content.

So we all know GRRM, like all authors, took a lot of inspo from real life fairy tales, religion, and mythology. There are a ton of parallels but I picked out a few to put in this poll

Propaganda: Before anyone says anything, I know a lot of these are dark spins on the original. I’m not trying to say Littlefinger is a handsome prince or whatever. Also note that some of this is based on either things that haven’t happened yet but are highly likely to happen in Winds/Dream up to and including being confirmed by GRRM.

Arya and Jaqen as Hades and Persephone-the young maiden of spring is found by the lord of the underworld, who gives her an object (in this case a coin) to trick her into being trapped in the world of the dead. When she leaves home, winter comes, but when she returns, so does spring.

Sansa as Rapunzel-a princess locked in a tower by an evil sorceress (or just queen) who is spirited away by a man who wants to marry her. Strong focus on her hair as a symbol of her identity.

The Brotherhood Without Banners as Robin Hood and his Merry Men-a band of outlaws who defend the common people against corrupt authority figures. This one is really self explanatory.

Cersei as the evil queen and Margaery/Sansa/eventually Dany as Snow White-a vain, cruel women terrified of her beauty fading and being replaced by a younger woman who outshines her, so she tries to destroy her perceived rival, ultimately leading to her own downfall. The girls in Snow Whites slot are the popular choices for the identity of the YMBQ and the one Cersei is currently convinced it is.

Jaime and Brienne as Beauty and the Beast-a double subversion. Jaime is handsome and Brienne is ugly, but when they meet she’s brave and kind while he’s selfish and cruel, so it’s the beast who helps the beauty be better.

Lyanna, Rhaegar, and Robert as Helen of Troy, Paris, and Menelaus-a beautiful woman fiercely desired by two powerful men, she either runs off with or is kidnapped by a prince, leading to her (soon to be) husband retaliating by starting a tragic war.

Stannis and Shireen as Agammemon and Iphegenia-a king and commander sacrifices his daughter to the gods to win a war. Bonus if this ends up causing Stannis’ downfall.

Lady Stoneheart as Demeter-a mother wanders the land bringing destruction and misery as she searches for her daughter(s.) When her daughters return to her, spring comes.

Cersei and Jaimes children as the emperor wearing no clothes-the emperor walks around naked insisting that he’s a wearing magic invisible outfit, but everyone is afraid to tell him the truth until finally a child points out that he’s wearing nothing at all. See: everyone pretending not to notice that Cerseis children are the result of incest with her brother, and Ned finally realizing the truth when his 11 year old daughter points out that Joffrey is nothing like Robert.

Bran as the Fisher King-the Fisher King is a character from Arthurian myth. He is the guardian of the magical holy grail, protecting it so it (and power) does not fall into the hands of the unworthy. Notably, he also has a deliberating injury to his legs or groin (depending on the version.) Of course the endgame Bran of the show is a blatant rip-off of Leto II from Children of Dune, but I think the Fisher King sounds more like GRRM would do.

Dany as Moses-a leader who has prophetic visions, who after performing a miracle, frees her people from slavery and leads them on a harsh journey to a new land. Notably regarded as a critically important figure by a monotheistic religion.
