Something that feels skipped over in the perception of Sansa is that she also struggles to fit into gender roles. A lot of her hobbies are feminine and she fits a lot better than most, but in the first book she still struggles with being a lady. She feels embarrassed over not being good with numbers when its needed to run a house as a lady, she gets scolded for arguing with her sister and her father and for talking about beheadings. She has to constantly remind herself of her courtseys and to be a lady. Because even though everyone else sees her as one, it still isn't enough because the ideal of lady is impossible. Because there is no correct way to be a woman in a misogynistic society.

greeting the eclipse in my finest linens and offering it tea served out of my best china after spending the first half of the day in my pajamas wallowing in bed with seven half-empty cups of water and three diet pepsi cans on my bedside table

got all dripped out to watch the eclipse today after a week of wearing nothing but cargo pants and sweatshirts to various social functions you can't make this shit up

ms. carol “i don’t need a savior and i don’t need a martyr, i just need a friend” peletier, ladies and gentlemen

#my bestest girl #the books of carol is going to destroy me most likely #unpopular opinion but i LOVED diverged #it’s such a nitty gritty examination of carol and daryl as individuals #what drives them and makes them tick #but also their relationship #the episode gave significant insight into their qualms with each other and further proved that most if not all of the anger they have #for one another is rooted in their fear of losing each other #plus it was a BONUS episode to tide us over during the pandemic 😭 #carol peletier #daryl dixon #caryl #twd caryl #darylneedscarol

one of the realest things in the song of ice and fire books is when this bard comes to tyrion and is like "I wrote a song about how you have a secret mistress and if you don't pay me off I'm going to sing it in front of the whole court. here's the first verse and the refrain" and tyrion immediately has him killed and then for the next three books he's like "actually that was kind of a bop. wish I'd let him sing me the rest"

#fine i'll admit it #i'm a tyrion girl #(i say this as if a third of the post aren't about him) #i'm a sucker for stories and themes okay and he communicates them very well #he is the mouthpiece of the narrative and i'm allowed to love him for that

Just remembered that Tyrion’s introduction to the story is him back-handspringing off of a fucking wall only to have nothing but bad knees and mobility issues for five whole books until it’s revealed that his secret parkour skills are one of the ten bajillion reasons his father wants him to eat poison and die.

"it's not evil, just hungry" being the moment Nat understands that about herself; in the wilderness, she wasn't evil, just hungry, and she can be forgiven for all that she did because all her life she was never evil and she was always hungry; and the moment she understood that being the moment she died,

'jb is overdone' i understand your frustration but they have a symbolic sword. they have an in-canon thematically relevant magic sword that represents their relationship and respective character arcs. they have a shared physical narrative touchstone and its a sword. come the fuck on
