Do you ever think about how when older men look at Jon they see a surrogate son who they want to help achieve (Stannis, Jeor, Mance,) while when older men look at Dany they see a sex object (Daario, Drogo, Jorah?) Because I do.

The Comfort of the Fog (Wilhelm Kotarbinski, 1848 - 1921)

I think we should all braid each other’s hair and paint each other’s nails and talk about which version of events with Rhaenyra and Criston (and maybe Harwin) from F&B makes the most thematic/textual sense. Mostly I really want to know how Rhaenyra and Harwin’s relationship started, how they felt about it, what it was like for Rhaenyra to mourn when she couldn’t do so publicly, generally I just strongly agree with GRRM that this story deserves to be fleshed out.

This is a very broad statement but I think fandoms on tumblr suffer (on a low level) from the fact that follower counts aren’t public bc there are accounts on here that are Famous To Me™ that don’t necessarily have a lot of followers. I think I just base my perception of how “big” an account is by engagement, like if you get ppl sending you anons asking questions about your pet characters/dynamics/theories that’s a very enviable level of tumblr fandom fame I think

“What is honor compared to a woman's love? What is duty against the feel of a newborn son in your arms, or the memory of a brother's smile? Wind and words. Wind and words. We are only human, and the gods have fashioned us for love. That is our great glory, and our great tragedy.” — G.R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

Still going through my 18 GB of medieval CC. Oh my god I just want to see my lady knights wtf why is there no film or TV about lady knight yuri? Why do I have to make it myself?

Been trying to figure out what CC in my sims 4 mod folder that I’ve accumulated over the past ~6 years I’ve been playing with CC and mods is causing my game to take like 8 hours to load. It’s been almost a week and i’m barely through the letter “s” (I started from the end of the alphabet 😭)

ppl being more interested in Fandom than the actual source text is so real like they do have their own nonexistent text thats just a recycled concoction of the same bland fandom incorrect quotes tropes over and over again which deviates so much from the canon and they prefer to the actual thing lol

my favorite example of sourcecreep is the fact that if you go on reddit, pinterest, or facebook, or google image search 7 years ago, or flickr and photobucket if you're properly fandom old, you will find image edits of disney's jack sparrow with the quote overlay "the problem is not the problem. the problem is your attitude about the problem."

if you've seen enough of these edits (there are many thousands of them), you might even read those two sentences in his trademark cadence.

the problem here, though, is not anyone's attitude about the problem. it's that this quote has never appeared in any of the five films in which jack sparrow appears. nor in any of the video games he stars or guest-stars on. nor in any of the tie-in young jack sparrow novels or the film novelizations. it is not from a deleted scene or an early draft of any script. it's not from any of the disney park parades or firework shows in which jack is included as a face character with recorded speaking lines. it's not from the original ride or the re-dress of the ride post-dead man's chest.

this is a quote from the YA series the sisterhood of the traveling pants. one of the characters' coaches says it to them in one of the books because they are children in high school. there is no reason for it to be attributed to this character or this franchise besides one patient zero at some point or another 20 years ago making an image with a text overlay on picnik photo editor and uploading it to their livejournal or whatever.

anyway this is how asoiaf fans on twitter absorb information about their favs from the series and then post about it. i believe there are many such cases across fandom at large.
