Underrated aspect of the book is how interconnected the Stark's are to their wolves and Lady being killed literally meant that a huge part of Sansa died that died that night too.

Both figuratively and literally, I mean. Lady's death represents Sansa's future losing of herself and her identity in King's Landing, because Lady dying literally meant that a part of Sansa was dead with her. When Ned killed Lady, he killed a part of Sansa; her innocence, her dreams. This even ties back to the warg and dream stuff. Sansa's being was buried with Lady.

And like, all of the other kids had their wolves for the majority of the time. Nymeria might not have been with Arya but the bond, their being, was still there.

Sansa doesn't have that, and I really wish more people explored this aspect of her. I think it further emphasizes how utterly alone Sansa is in this new world of hers. She doesn't have her father, her family, or even her wolf.

She only has herself.

you can discuss the problems within academia literally forever and you probably should but “historians are trying to keep information from you” is always going to be an anti-intellectual, reactionary opinion, sorry, literally no way around that

MSR + the art of subtlety [7/?] ⤷ 3.13 — "Syzygy"

[aegonette]

the world of ice and fire is full of adorable (and doomed) children

be it through living in active warzones, proximity to insane fire witches or having cersei lannister as a mother, these children's survival is... uncertain to say the least

some of these kids may be more doomed by the narrative than others, but which one is your favourite?

I want to talk to you. Without speaking.

QUEER (2024) dir. Luca Guadagnino

“In the dark theater Lee could feel his body pull towards Allerton, an amoeboid protoplasmic projection, straining with a blind worm hunger to enter the other’s body, to breathe with his lungs, see with his eyes, learn the feel of his viscera and genitals. Allerton shifted in his seat. Lee felt a sharp twinge, a strain or dislocation of the spirit. His eyes ached. He took off his glasses and ran his hand over his closed eyes.” —William S. Burroughs, "Queer", 1985

Thinking about how Game of Thrones (an HBO fantasy show) kept getting not only nominated but winning Emmy's for most of it's run, when at least half of it was total slop. Yet when we have not only the best genre-tv, but the best TV we've seen in a long time with Andor (a Disney sci-fi show) it gets no major acting noms...
