the weird thing is it's not even presented as a world where most noblewomen don't breastfeed. grrm loves the idea of nursing mothers too much for that. edric dayne is presented as an outlier for having a wet nurse bc his mother couldn't produce milk for him. catelyn's fantasy of a reunited family with ned alive has all the kids younger and rickon still on the tit. and cersei, the queen herself, recalled that baby joff suckling at her breast gave her more pleasure than any man could, which...um, i've always thought was an odd phrasing.

i am once AGAIN thinking about the scene in black sails where flint has just been forced by miranda to confront his overwhelming grief over losing thomas, which has been fueling his unholy rage for the past two seasons. flint is sitting there, having a flashback, drowning in the tragedy and injustice of his gay lover’s death… then vane bursts into the room like a roided-up kool-aid man and immediately tries to kill him. 10/10, flawless tonal whiplash, one of the funniest moments in the entire show.

Bloodraven 🐦⬛ Brynden Rivers
“I have my own ghosts, Bran. A brother that I loved, a brother that I hated, a woman I desired. Through the trees, I see them still, but no word of mine has ever reached them. The past remains the past. We can learn from it, but we cannot change it.” ~ Brynden to Bran

THEON MONTH 2022 || Day 8: Love Interests
He remembered a time when he had thought that Lord Eddard Stark might marry him to Sansa and claim him for a son, but that had only been a child’s fancy.
