It’s honestly quite tragic that the HOTD fandom sees any sort of conflicting take/viewpoint when it comes to discussions pertaining to character arcs and historical inspiration GRRM may have taken as a direct, personal attack against them when they do not agree. Just seems rather childish and reductive to me but also unsurprising as it’s entirely consistent with that fandom’s level of maturity after all.

18 + swaymark!!
oooo thank you!!
#18 - pleaser, wallows + swaymark
okay i know they are canonically obsessed with each other but. the song is in some ways about feeling like you’re failing in your relationship and being not quite as obsessed with them as they maybe are with you, and in this video of them talking about being a tandem, there is the slightest pause before swayman answers “do you miss him?” that makes me want to probe a wound. we’re not talking irl reasons of how that’s an absurd question (how do you miss him. you’re coworkers you’re seeing each other all the time) we’re talking that maybe this whole goalies-in-love thing got blown out of proportion and now swayman’s having to buy into the bit too hard. linus loves it & everyone’s asking about their bromance & how they love each other so much and the thing is—linus is safe. he’s got a wife and plausible deniability and jeremy? jeremy is gay. sure, he can crack jokes and people-please but the more people ask the more they're going to find out until maybe they find out something jeremy doesn't want them to know. and the longer this goes on, the more jeremy has to sit at linus' dinner table with linus and his beautiful wife and pretend like he isn't a little bit in love with him. and you know what? the longer it goes on and linus doesn't dial it down jeremy does stop being in love with him, because it just feels cruel, until he finally is done enough that he stops biting his tongue and ruins the moment.

ANIMATE DEAD
[ID: a flat colour digital drawing of Dr. Foster, an OC, casting the animate dead spell. They are a plague doctor in a long brown coat with several strings of bones hanging around their waist, neck, in their hair, and worn as bracelets. She has very long, grey streaked dark hair in a braid. They are wearing a cape and cowl over their mask, and are holding out one hand, magically pulling an assembling skeleton out of the ground. Shards of bone are circling her hand. The background is greyscale moonlit woods.]
