Uh is it okay to have a massive crush on Daisy Ridley and watching her Star Wars training videos online, feel the urge to cook her something nice for after the day's training because the girl is unstoppable and her muscles need protein.

Is it okay to be a guy and feel like Rey represents me and my generation?

Is it okay to daydream and fantasize about being a stay-at-home-dad husband of a Jedi

Uh, asking for a friend.

I mean who knew Orisa could strike such a sexy pose

Ok guys listen up I had an idea last night: you find screenshots of Hanzo and you blur out his face or pixelate his face and it’s obvious it’s Hanzo bc the blurs aren’t even that well done and also you can see the rest of his body but everyone pretends they have no idea who that is .could it be Winston? Bastion? You don’t know because you cannot see his face

Welcome to the next stage, friend. I'm told it's called "adulthood".

Pro tip: It's basically googling how to do stuff and trying to convince each other that we completely have this under control. The one who can appear to be adulting best, wins.

My advice: Start the rebellion today. For example. Never wear matching socks. You don't have to live by their rules.

im educated but like…im still stupit

Meet the Dothraki

You know we never really get to learn what Dothraki really are under the muscly and scary surface. I mean they are depicted as big, brutish, violent, hairy fighters. They behave like big, brutish, violent fighters, because that’s what they were raised and taught to do. And everyone from Daenerys to Jon Snow to Tyrion and Cersei see them only as big, brutish, violent, hairy fighters. But for example, during the Dragonpit Summit, what if different things went through their heads than what we were expecting? (Which was probably murder, plunder, murder, rape, plunder, murder)

On the outside 

Dothraki 1: *Stares menacingly*

Dothraki 2: *Looks around suspiciously, grunts and nods when recieves order to go along with the Lannister soldiers*

Dothraki 3: *Stands next to Missandei, looks ready to kill everyone if they threaten their queen*

On the inside 

Dothraki 1: Hm, wow, what a lovely place, so different from all those boring grass plains. I wonder what colors would I use to paint this on canvas? Ruby red for the keep of course, and the sea's warm azure is in such a vivid contrast with the fading emerald of the wintery mediterranean vegetation and the pale blue sky! 

Dothraki 2: Wow, these boys have amazing red armor, it's a shame, we've been killing them by the bunch. What metal is this? Fine steel? The paint job on it is excellent and the leather is so fine! Oh and the scarlet capes! I could use these materials to craft the most exquisite spring/fall clothing that the Free Cities would just kill for! Oh yes, Aggro the Great's spring collection: The Lion's Fire! I can see pretty boys and girls wearing this on catwalks from Braavos to Meereen. 

Dothraki 3: That brave dude that fought against us is taking this boy to have a drink and they didn't invite me? This seems like such a vibrant city, I bet they have the best pubs! I could finally organise a proper pub crawl here! And I bet these boys would love the drinking games I've learned throughout Essos! If we're drinking together now while the angry khaleesis scream at each other, why am I not invited?

Titles are important, Cersei

When you think about it, neither Jon Snow nor Daenerys Targaryen ever rebelled against Cersei Lannister.

She was proclaimed "Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Protector of the Seven Kingdoms." That is not the entire royal title and the entire royal title has a meaning.

The title all the Targaryens and Robert held was, King of the Andals, (the Rhoynar) and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm. All of these elements are important and are rooted in the history of Westeros.

The King/Queen of the Seven Kingdoms is the actual royal title. The will of the people elects a person to royalty. Their kingdoms rose and fought each other even before the Andals and de jure and by tradition, only by the will of the people does a person become a sovereign. The title that awards a person the singular ruler of all seven of the kingdoms has to be based on the will of the people, in name at least. And the people who make up these kingdoms are namely: The Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men.

The Lord/Lady of the Seven Kingdoms is a title referring to a later construct: Feudal society and vassalage. First came the people and their leaders. One king, one village, one castle, one people. Then kingdoms grew, became larger polities, with a growingly intricate system of ranks and loyalties. In this system, a lord swears fealty to a more powerful lord. In short: The Lord/Lady of the Seven Kingdoms is the ultimate liege in vassalage, s/he is the one to which all the Lords/Ladies paramount and the Prince/Princess of Dorne swears fealty. It is the title that puts behind the throne the political power over the realm.

And then, Protector of the Realm. It is the title of the highest military leader. The commander-in-chief and aside from all the armies, all the Wardens, the Kingsguard and the Night's Watch are his/her subordinates. (Although the Night's Watch is a very special case.)

Now Jon Snow is declared King in the North. Arguably, he has a stronger claim than Cersei since his title, based on the will of the people was actually declared by the people. Arguably, but it doesn't matter. Because Cersei was never declared Lady of the Sevsn Kingdoms. De jure, in her rule, the North is a kingdom with a lord paramount, one that she never formally claimed to be a liege of. Even being generous with her, the worst she can claim Jon Snow is is a contender for the sovereignty of the North.

And so is Daenerys. Cersei can claim all she wants that Daenerys is a foreign invader, she cannot formally claim homage from the nobles of Westeros against Daenerys because Cersei was never proclaimed Lady of the Seven Kingdoms.

Whereas Daenerys? She receives homage from the Martells, the Tyrells, and the Starks voluntarily to whom she's then a liege. Which puts the Tarlys, the Tyrells' vassals in open rebellion and legally speaking, makes their execution justified. And Cersei, albeit she claims sovereignty over the people, de jure, a conspirator in a rebellion against a rightful liege lady of Westeros.

These things may not matter the moment the blood hits the floor again.

But in long dynastic struggles, in matters of perception and solidifying their rule, monarchs have to count on them. Even after winning the rebellion, Robert Baratheon had to find a legal justification for his actions. And even with that, he himself admitted that some continued to call him a usurper, seventeen years after he won.

So, as for Cersei... Something something, Dracarys.

Family drama in Got7

Targaryen: Daenerys has to deal with the fact that she's the last member of her family and she might not even be able to get pregnant again. Very serious.

Arryn: Their last member is a sickly child. Bleak prospects.

Lannister: Their last living members fight each other, they're on both sides of the war. Dramatic and tragic.

Clegane: Their last living members fight each other, they're on both sides of the war. Violent and cruel.

Greyjoy: Their last living members fight each other, they're on both sides of the war. Pretty metal but yeah aside from that, brutal viking family drama.

Stark: Surprisingly they have the highest number of living family members, this is the greatest twist so far. Greatest challenge: They have to deal with the fact that each and every one of them possesses some specific mad skill or straight out supernatural power and Winterfell might be too small to contain all their collective awesomeness plus direwolves plus, soon, dragons and the blonde heroes that want to join them. The lone wolf dies in the wilderness but the pack survives.

Just a lesson the lions, hounds, falcons, krakens and dragons may want to consider.

Dracarys

So I guess many of us expect Jon Snow to ride a dragon next season. Do you know what would be the pinnacle of awesomeness? What I want to see?

Jon Snow mounting the dragon Rhaegal, looking at Daenerys flying on Drogon next to him, looking back at the army of the dead and saying, loud and clear and commandingly:

"Dracarys."

Are direwolves... Extinct?

In our world, direwolves are extinct and sadly, it would appear that soon they will be in Westeros too. Think about it. Direwolves only lived beyond the wall, they and who knows what else, ancient creatures, from the forests before the First Men arrived. Beyond the wall lived direwolves, mammoths, a hundred or more clans, First Men, with vast and diverse culture and customs. At least three intellgent species. Mystical creatures and forests that remembered.

When Jon Snow’s Avengers go beyond the wall, they conclude that nothing living remains beyond the 700 feet of ice. Or at least, it will soon be so. Nothing. And just think about that for a moment, let it sink in. An entire, vast region of Westeros, arguably as rich in mysteries, culture and lore as the North or the Vale or Dorne, is gone now. All the people who couldn’t make it south of the Wall in time - They’re gone. So are the direwolves, the mammoths. The giants, the Children of the Forest. All the ancient secrets, the weirwood trees, everything is dead and silent or marching in the army of the Night’s King. Beyond the wall lies - Not just a region of Westeros. But all that remains from what lived in Westeros since the beginning of time.

Even if the living win, even if dawn comes again, they are gone. There are no more springs for the giants and their mammoths. Or the frozen godwoods. Or for the Children of the Forest, or the clans of the First Men. Or for direwolves.

Missing you, House Tyrell

It’s such a shame House Tyrell died out before the end of the War of the Queens. I miss Olenna, Mace the Ace, even Loras a little bit and I most definitely miss Maergery.

Imagine how things would have turned out if somehow Maergery survived and went over to the Targaryen alliance. Her and Olenna could have lead House Tyrell full-heartedly into the final Targaryen-Stark league like the good stewards they are. Like they were to the Gardeners... And the Lannisters... It would have made some quality drama, their backroom maneuvering, their clandestine warfare in which they wielded a kit of tools like charm, influence, flirtation, gossip, seduction and physical force if need be. Just imagine. 

Maergery would have definitely made a pass at Jon Snow. King in the North, most powerful de-facto lord paramount, sovereign, north of the Trident? The most handsome, most eligible bachelor? Sign House Tyrell up. Imagine the hilarious triangle as Jon and Daenerys awkwardly grow closer to each other while Maergery goes all in on Jon. Imagine beautiful, seductive, charming, intelligent Maergery Tyrell trying to melt the icy walls of northern honor built of brooding, silence, long gazes cast into the horizon and dramatic one liners of the coming winter, honor and duty. Imagine Jon struggling to conceal the fact that he’s checking out both of them. Daenerys occasionally snapping and Maergery gracefully dancing out of the flames of her wrath. Compared to the good-hearted but pragmatic, captivating, seductive Maergery, both of these beautiful strong-headed silly heroes are rigid, naive idealists and it would have made for some prime drama and interesting dynamics within the Targaryen-Stark inner circle.

Okay seriously where is Edmure Tully?

I thought Edmure Tully could possibly be at two places. Either a prisoner at the Twins or maybe a prisoner at Casterly Rock. Jaime promised him a nice place and a knightship and a keep of his own for his son when he comes of age. Did Jaime follow through with that? The last we saw of him was when he yielded Riverrun to the Lannisters, fulfilling his end of the bargain.

Could be he was returned to the Twins? Don’t tell me Arya left him there. Or at Casterly Rock? Don’t remember Grey Worm returning to Daenerys, saying, “My Queen, Unsullied found strange Andal fish man who claims to be the uncle of Stark wolf children.”

Please tell me at least that someone’s feeding him in whichever castle dungeon he was locked, forgotten and left in.

Korra is the greatest, best heroine of all time and seeing her get together with Asami, my admittedly long-shot headcanon coming to life... I still can't believe it. Go amazing ladies, be happy together, kick ass and take over the world!

Can you guys believe Korrasami is real and they’re cute and happy together?????? 😭😭😭😭😭💕💕💕

Well, they slightly complicated it a little. In the show, I believe, it was simply the right of conquest that made Robert king. In the books, I think the maesters had to come up with a justification, basing Robert's right on his Targaryen ancestry. (Don't forget, the Baratheons are a Targaryen branch family, like the Karstarks to the Starks.)

In any case, de jure titles are more complicated than de facto ones. The sovereign usually holds three titles: King of the Andals, Rhoynar and First Men (The actual royal title, making him/her the sovereign of all the peoples in Westeros), Lord/Lady of the seven kingdoms (Making him/her the liege lord over all the Lords Paramount and the Prince/Princess of Dorne) and Protector of the Realm. (The chief military commander of all the armies.)

This war of queens, or any possible book-storyline of Targaryen inner conflict can be dragged on if one party does not manage to unite all those titles, all the kingdoms and armies, Citadel and the Faith under his/her rule.

Young Griff Is The Son Of Rhaegar Targaryen And Elia Martell

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, and even when first reading the books I’ve never doubted who Young Griff is. I’m sure that Varys and Illyrio have other motives and agendas then bring Westeros the rightful heir but that’s a different story.

Honestly, I don’t have a lot of evidence to back up this claim, but there’s little to no evidence to support the theory that he’s a Blackfyre not a Targaryen so I’ll make my case. Note that this mostly a belief that I feel will happen.

Who’s really your enemy in the Game of Thrones?

Great Houses in Westeros clash, their ambitions collide and this mixture of political backroom intrigue, maneuvering, influence, intimidation, backstabbing and outright brutal warfare is what we call “The Game of Thrones,” the race for the Iron Throne. A political game everyone always agrees that our poor naive protagonists, the Stark family is the worst at. Are they though? Look at a kill score. Daenerys let Viserys die. Her husband killed him, while she watched so it's as close as it gets to Targaryen on Targaryen violence as anything. Which is not unique in ASIOAF history, the greatest Targaryen-killers have always been the Targaryens themselves. (Blackfyre rebellions, Targaryen succession wars, Dance of Dragons)  Lannisters? Tyrion killed Tywin, Jaime killed Unnamed Backup Lannister Cousin, Cersei killed Kevan and Lancel and indirectly caused Tommen’s death. It seems the greatest Lannister-killers are the Lannisters themselves, in the same fashion.  The remaining Baratheon brothers turned on one another as soon as Robert was dead and one had the other killed. Old Man Lord of the Iron Islands Grumpy Greyjoy was killed by his brother and the remaining Greyjoys are divided into two factions and are also trying to kill each other. Even Roose Bolton was killed by his own son, Ramsay Bolton.

So they always call the Starks losers in the game. Look at them now. The Starks didn't have to come up with a cunning plan, didn't have to employ intimidation, bribery, political maneuvers to get back to the top. Literally, the only things the Starks had to do were - Be very careful, try not to get backstabbed again - Wait for the opportune moment and win that one decisive battle - Literally, just stick together, look out for each other, reinforce Winterfell and do your best to not kill each other - Brood on the battlements wearing stylish fur cloaks, stare blankly into the ethereal, white, frozen Northern wilderness and melancholically reminisce together about Ned Stark, make emotional wolf pack references and remind each other every five minutes that winter is here.

And if you do that, and manage to not kill each other, you're already doing way better than any other major House. And the Starks did exactly that. They reminded each other at every turn that backstabbing your own family is not generally a good idea and they worked out their differences and simply worked together. My, my, who knew? Not betraying and killing your family members is actually a good thing and it helps your House? Mindblowing.
