As far as character progression goes, I'd argue that the most important aspect of the RLJ reveal isn't just Jon learning that he isn't Ned's son. The most important part is him learning that he isn't Ned Stark's bastard son. He's spent all his life chasing after Ned's shadow, trying to prove to himself and to the world that he is worthy of being Ned Stark's son, "let them say that Eddard Stark had fathered four sons not three", “he was not a Stark but he could die like one” and all that. He's internalized the shame of being the one stain on honorable Ned Starks' reputation
“But it’s a lie,” Jon insisted. How could they think his father was a traitor, had they all gone mad? Lord Eddard Stark would never dishonor himself … would he? He fathered a bastard, a small voice whispered inside him. Where was the honor in that? And your mother, what of her? He will not even speak her name.
So it's important for him to finally stop chasing after that elusive shadow. It's important for him to understand that Ned's dishonor was a deliberate choice that he made by himself, and it's thus no fault of his own. Once Jon internalizes that, then he can finally move on and ask himself, who am I? What do I want for myself? What can I be in this world, just as I am? So far, he's been unable to do that successfully because he still has an incomplete (and false) understanding of who he is.
#jon snow#asoiaf#valyrianscrolls#jon specifically being ned’s bastard cannot be overstated#it heavily colors his outlooks on his own life and how he navigates through the world#like let’s talk about his sex hangups for example#being ned's bastard is so so important to his character arc#ffs whenever he meets someone new it’s always you must be ned stark’s bastard#it’s how he and everyone else understand his role in life so for him to progress as a character we need to ask#what happens when jon is no longer ned stark’s bastard?#what happens when the one thing that drove him to the wall - to seek glory and kickstarted his heroic journey#is proven to be false?#what then?#what does he do then? where does he go then? who does he become then?#I think he will at first be resistant - and it’s been my personal theory that his learning of robb’s will#will coincide with that and that will be the greatest temptation for him#just like with stannis’ offer and how he agonized over it he will try to cling to some form of#-I can still be ned’s son can’t I? look robb legitimized me as such-#yes I think he’ll already be aware of his parentage by the time he learns of the will#but ultimately he will choose to forge his own path in the end just like he chose to remain with the nw#which then doesn’t look good for the kitn prospects I’m ngl 😬#because just like accepting Stannis’ offer meant desecrating his father’s gods#accepting the will while knowing that he has no right over his now cousins would straight up be usurpation regardless of age or skill#and I can see grrm throwing in that moral dilemma for Jon because his arc is full of them#but just as he rejected stannis and ended up as lc then his final rejection will lead to something else that is greater - king of winter 🤭#Just my opinion tho 🙂#tagging#eddard stark#r plus l equals j#As well

Diavolo: what?! How can you not trust me to be a good man, with your best interests at heart? 🥺 I am kind and courteous and I just want the three realms to prosper and my friends to remain jovial with me and and and—- I’m just a little guy. How could you not like me???

I love taylor but the way she releases albums is such a money-grab and it makes me really upset because she poses it as “gifts to the fans” but if I have to buy three different versions of your album to receive my gift I don’t really see how that’s fair.

something about finding the people who sit through your info dumps with joy on their face and enthusiasm for your passions. something about finding the people who info dump right back at you because they know you love hearing about their passions. something about finding the people who manage to sum up your being in one niche, oddly specific sentence that lives in your mind rent free for the rest of time. something about finding the people who not only accept you for who you are but embrace you for who you are. who not only tolerate your quirks and differences but love and cherish them.
#i’m in my feels today if you couldn’t tell#just thinking about one friend in particular who i don’t get to see in person nearly enough but i text all the time#idk it’s the little things#the way we send each other videos of ourselves explaining whatever we’re learning about right now#the way we don’t write it in a long message because the emotion and vibes don’t translate properly#the way he’s told me that the way i dress is so gender nonconforming in his eyes#how even though i’m afab and i wear glittery makeup and crop tops and have pink hair#i still look so queer and so gnc and so Not Girl in his eyes#how that felt so validating#how i could feel the genuine love in his words#how he told me once that i’m ‘not a person with lore but rather a person with a schtick’#and how he explained to me what my schtick was and how accurate it was#how he told me he can’t wait for me to get my degree(s) and be an openly queer person in stem#how he can’t wait for me to defend my thesis sometime in the future and be wearing the brightest makeup and the biggest earrings#and the tallest boots#how he loves that i go to my chem lab every week with glitter on my eyes#how it’s cool that i don’t care if i stick out like a sore thumb because i’m me#i remember how he dropped the she/her pronouns immediately upon ne saying i didn’t really vibe with them#(even when they were still technically on my list of ‘ok to use pronouns’)#how his boyfriend who i don’t know very well has always they/them-ed me because my friend does#and if my friend is doing it then it must be the right thing#idk i just love my friends#and this friend in particular is someone i’ve gotten really close with over the past 6 months or so#and i’m so glad to have him in my life#platonic love#friendship#tell your friends you love them

I just got off work, but I’m feelin really relaxed today, since I got to spend time with family.
Popping back into my tumblr though, I just gotta say, I’m really happy with the little bubble of people I managed to find here. My mutuals are so cool and silly, the people who followed me are really kind even if sometimes you guys can get a lil goofy, this lil internet space I burrowed into is just really really cool =7=
Maybe I’m just being a bit sappy as a carry over from spending time with loved ones, but yknow, I just wanna express some appreciation for the people who floated into my bubble. Thanks for all the fun ^^ I’m glad to have met you here! :D Hope we have more good times to come!

#i love Beyoncé so much and 16 carriages is an amazing song but#she will always make me uncomfortable now#the woman who was given a humanitarian award can make alll these lovely songs#and build these amazing experiences that I’ve personally been apart of#and be apart of so many monumental things#and she’s DONE THE WORK before but i guess she didn’t wanna do it this time#and my like actual fave lol like no parasocial shit just real like this is one of my heroes#and my God I’ve never been so disappointed in someone I’ll never even touch but FUCK#they were singing your songs as a death chant and you stayed silent#you refer to yourself as ‘BOTUS’ knowing exactly how influential you are#staying silent when you could’ve aided in HELPING and continuing#to be on the right side of history or at least fucking pretend to be#and you could t even do that like it legit hurts like her music and just music in general#is such a HUGE part of my life and it’s damn near#impossible for me to separate art from artists and like you can’t sing songs about wanting to heal the world#when you’re the most influential woman in the world and wouldn’t use your voice#as we as a SPECIES watch the crisis going on in real time first hand accounts#of a literal genocide and ethnic cleansing and we can’t even get an emoji???#and listen if she would’ve just sang her lil songs and WENT we’d be fine#nobody ASKED you to dress up like a black panther#and bail out black protestors and start organizations and do food drives and sign checks like we’ve SEEN you do#nobody asked you to play activist and then you did and jumped ship when people needed you#now THAT broke my soul

Hello :D
I just wanted to say that I just finished up the new chapter and wanted to comment just how AMAZING this story is. I'll be completly honest that this is one of the few fanfics that 1. I have re-read MULTPLE times (honestly in the mood to re-read it again) and 2. Make me actively think about it IRL. It really shaped how I few Sokka and Zuko, and every time I am waiting for a chapter, I eagerly seek out anything remotely close to this sort of story.
It's the kinda fic I would recommend people, if they ever ask me.
Writing is hard, and I saw that you were having a hard time and I just want to say from the bottom of my heart, thank you for writing this. It's an amazing story that your telling and it's even more amazing how dedicated you are to it. As a writer myself, it can be quite a pain so once again thank you. I cannot wait for the next chapter and see where this story goes.
I may be back later to ramble more about the actual chapter, but for now I just wanted to comment this!

This is so sweet thank you it makes me feel warm & fuzzy when I think about people rereading my fic lol.
Writing IS HARD, and it’s worse when you put pressure on yourself to meet the stupid expectations you set for yourself. I still love it though, especially now that we are on the last sections because there is so much cool shit coming together & it makes it fun.
Difficult, but fun haha.
I hope you’re having a lot of writing success & just know this ask made me really thankful to have wonderful readers like you so thank you.

People hating on a literal child because she doesn’t physically look like a character in a book who we only ever saw in concept art and fanart vs me who was kinda sad when I realized book Percy wasn’t black because the description of a young boy living in New York who’s close with his single mother parent who is constantly seen as stupid troublemaker by both peers and teachers and his moms awful boyfriend and who’s only friend is the only other Outcast (non white) classmate who’s only ally is the literature teacher who then he finds also has doubts about him felt very if not fully black then at least mixed coded.
But then I moved on and enjoyed the story for what it gave me, can some of these people say the same 🤔
#I have not yet watched the show I’ll probably wait for more episodes bc I canceled D+ like two months ago#but idk many of yall are not 12 anymore and saying Leah won’t do a good job or it won’t be as good#we only saw any of these characters in our minds eye#or concept art#im not saying you can’t be disappointed when things aren’t 100% a match bc you want to see a good adaptation of the Book#and I need to do a reread but I would think Annabeth’s whole other shit aka running away cross country at 7 always being nosy and wanting#a quest being ready for battle but learning to have fun too#is more integral to her character ESPECIALLY IN MARK OF ATHENA#the blond hair in the books is a trait from Athena so it’s not a unique hurdle other girls in the cabin wouldn’t also face#it mattered bc she was a main character#But taking the core struggle of not being taken seriously works pretty damn well for any girl but especially black girls AT ALL TIMES#and not to be funny but saying the other characters are already diverse feels like a side step#like look Hazel in her eyes and say not being taken seriously BECAUSE of your HAIR COLOR is on the same level#as not being taken seriously because you’re a black girl#and if this breaches containment#yes the show would have been fine even if a picture perfect accurate cast had been hired#but if we want to move past people being cast bc of how they look vs how they act#you can’t hold the gospel of a book series against literal children who are probably having the time of their life#or would be if grown ass adults were attacking them bc SOMEONE ELSE HITED THEM#if the show is bad it’s not bc Annabeth is black or Percy is blonde#hell in good omens both leads are older in the book they’re described as looking 25 and 30#can you imagine good omens as it is now with book accurate casting bc I can’t
