#Flint Dicker

[afrognamedfizzarolli]

Helluva Boss observations and easter eggs you may not have noticed!: Pilot

The pilot is both a great place and weird place to start, as it is our introduction to the cast and world, but also no longer considered canon. Many of the events and details we learn/see are later confirmed in the series itself, but there were quite a few changes.

I want to start off with some design changes!

With Millie, she used to have white roots visible, this actually kept up for a few of the early episodes. As we know now it seems imps have two noticeable instances of sexual dimorphism: females have black horns with thin white stripes and naturally black hair, and males have evenly sized black and white stripes on their horns and naturally black hair. We see many trans or otherly gender queer imps that dye their hair with visible roots. I assume Millie's design was changed when that was established to be a gender difference in imps.

Her heart tattoo is also much smaller, and switches sides (an animation error almost certainly) When the pilot first came out I actually thought she had a heart on both shoulders.

Some stuff with Stolas!

We see his hand outlined with a red glow at one point, presumably representing his magic. While in the series his magic is represented by blue. This is most likely due to the change of his character as he was originally planned to be a villain.

Not a design change, but I find it funny that Stolas' name in Blitzø's phone is "Creepy Mouth (aka one night stand bird dick)". Surprisingly all being spelled correctly.

Stolas' Grimore! I actually only noticed this on this last watch. It was a darker blue(purple? red? It changes in different scenes) and instead of the moon design it has a different insignia of his that we still see throughout the series in various places (notably on his bed) it also has no design on the back.

Little details!

I didn't realize before either that the woman who Moxxie is trying to shoot before Eddie gets in the way, is Eddie's mom. I'm sure this is something many others picked up on immediately though.

Speaking of which, the human news anchor shown at the end bares a striking resemblance to a character of Brandons: a news anchor named Flint Dicker.

A poster of "THE AMAZING IMP SIBLINGS" is on the wall of the conference room. Showing Blitzø, Barbie Wire, and another character labeled "Tilla". This was changed in the series to just being Blitzø and Barbie, Tilla's design being slightly altered and then used for their mom.

Hazbin easter eggs! Oh boy is there a lot of them.

In the commercial sequence we see in the room of one of the targets a framed drawing of Sir Pentious

In the background of when Blitzø is interviewing a previous client, there is a billboard for 666 News ft. A photo of Katie Killjoy, I especially love this one as Brandon ended up voicing her!

In Blitzø's office he had a vision board labeled "BOSS GOALS" with 5 drawings, in the center is Blitzø labeled "ME!" Top left we have Katie again, top right is a duck with a top hat and two $'s, this assumably referencing Lucifer, bottom left is Rosie, an arrow pointing to her hat labeled so eloquently "HAT" and lastly in the bottom right there is a more detailed drawing that looks to be Carmilla Carmine labeled "Moxxie drew not as good" this tracking later as in 1.05 "The Harvest Moon Festival" Moxxie talks about Carmine angelic weaponry, showing a great interest in her business.

Next is a dumpster in an alley with various graffiti. Notably, a face that looks to be Nifty, "ALWAYS CHASING RAINBOWS" and "HAPPY HOTEL". There is also a sinister face labeled "DEVIL". Im not sure if this is a specific refrence to anything though.

Lastly, one that I'm sure almost everyone noticed but feel the need to include, is we can see Loona watching Charlie's performance of "Inside of Every Demon is a Rainbow"

Funny observations:

When the crew teleports into the church, we see maany people with some pretty detailed designs, I do not know if or what they may be referencing, but I have a strong suspicion it is something, my guess is that they are caricatures of some people who worked on the pilot. One person in specifically is wearing a jacket with a patch reading "WHEN YOU SEE IT" with a 👌

Signs! In the hospital we see a sign saying "WE SAVE LIVES" in faded text it reads between we and save "try to" and after lives another line is visible starting with "but" I cannot make out the rest.

Others show that they are in ward 13, the next room over labeled as 667, implying the room that Eddie was in is 666

A note is taped to the side of the fridge of the break room reading "LOONA DONT EAT MY LUNCH -MOXXIE"

Another thing I only noticed recently is when Blitzø sneaks out at the Goetia palace, he is naked except for his jacket, with the grimore serving as some creative censorship. (+Stella's beta design. I personally love her current design, but this one wasn't bad)

When Blitzø makes the comment about making Moxxie the employee of the month he holds up a small plaque as an example, a larger version of this same plaque, is visible on a wall in the commercial sequence.

While in their hazmat suits(idk if that's what these actually are), you can see the shape of Moxxie's bowtie under it

... and just Blitzø holding some targets panties, cause why not

There are a handful of other details, but I'm going to hold onto those as later on we see call backs to them. Also, I've spent a lot more on this than Id planned already, I have at least 3 hours on this one alone.

Please bare with me, I promise these will get more interesting the further we go in the series!

"You Broke The News!" Is out, during the escape route we get to bunker.. with a new group..

Now I see Donna, that's 100% her, BUT WHERE IS SAM?? YOURE TELLING ME MY BOY IS DEAD??? WHERE IS HE????

[zanyana626]

Wait, Brandon's gonna be Katie Killjoy now??? I'm guessing Katie's new voice will be a cross between Bryce Tankthrust & Flint Dicker (the reporter guy in Brandon's YT videos)! Of course I'll miss Faye's take on Katie, but at least we heard that she's not done with Glitz & Glam as they're supposedly going to return later on in Helluva.

Also, SARAH STILES, FRICKING SPINEL'S GONNA BE MIMZY?!?!?! EEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

S3:D3 Norsemen

Summary: Ms O’Ready and Karl have gone through the wormhole and ended up in 8th century Scandinavia. 

Warnings: Language, smut, mentions of STD’s. 18+

"Where did you come from?  Are you a spirit?" The Northman was poised to strike. "Midgard is in danger," said Karl.  His quick thinking saved his life.  I have been sent by the Gods to stop one of Loki's schemes." It was during this conversation that both Karl and the warrior released they could understand one another.  A side effect from the time travel?  Whatever it was it was most convenient. The warrior lowered his weapon.  "Come with me," he said, "We captured a woman many hours ago.  Like you, she appeared in a strange light." "Take me to her," said Karl. Along the way to the village, Karl learnt a little history from Bjarte.  The year was 792 and winter had claimed many lives.  Karl expressed his sympathy, shivering as the warmth from the American west left his body.

When they reached the Longhouse Karl was instantly greeted to the light and heat of the hearth.  He dashed over to the fireplace where an already undressed O'Ready was warming her naked body. 

"I fell in the water," she said, her teeth chattering, "I almost drowned." Before Karl had any time to speak, he was instructed to get undressed.  Large furs and food were brought into the room and laid at their feet. "What did you say to them?"  Asked O'Ready in a hushed tone. "Just that we were sent to stop Loki." The six locals waited until the strangers were under the furs before presenting them with food.  O'ready nodded, thanking the locals for their hospitality.  She pressed them for information on any other strange occurrences, describing both Professor Flint and Doctor Weissman with the hope that they'd also been captured. A lone female stepped forward.  "One of our greatest warriors found something not far from here.  A strange black object.  it makes a sound when you touch the glass.  I will call for him.  He will keep you warm."  She pointed to O'Ready.  "His name is Asger.  We could be honoured if you could share yourself with him.  It would bring good luck to our village." O' Ready smiled.  Anything to help the community..  She rolled over, looking at Karl.  "You might wanna get your dick checked out before getting it wet again." 

Karl called Bjarte over and explained how he'd been tricked into having sex with one of Loki's agents.  "We have a cream for that, replied Bjarte, "But it will take a few hours before it begins to work.  I'll have our Shaman make a batch for you and have one of our maidens apply it." After the mead, cheese and bread, came the warrior known as Asger.  Trailing behind him was a flame haired woman carrying a bowl.  The woman introduced herself  as Magnhild; a shield maiden who had dreamt of the two strangers just a few nights before.

Magnhild pulled back the furs and applied the cream. It was cold but Karl barely flinched.  Once the bowl was empty the maiden climbed under the covers, wrapping her arms around Karl's torso.  "Perhaps now you can do something for me," she said. Karl nodded, "Sure.  What is it you want me to do?" "I am a clean woman but I must be bathed by your tongue.  The Gods will it so.  Place yourself at my womanhood and taste me." Karl slowly vanished under the furs, much to the amusement of O'Ready who now knew that she too was in for some fun with Asger. The blonde warrior threw his furs to the floor, revealing the large cock which now twitched in the presence of O'Ready. "Oh yum," she said, "I can see the Gods well and truly blessed you." Asger grunted.  "Oh mighty messenger of the Gods, I would be honoured  to spear you, to fill you with my mighty seed.  I can also assure you that my groin does not itch and have never needed any herbs to cleanse my mighty hammer."

O'Ready pulled aside the furs and spread her legs.  Asger climbed on top, sliding into O'Ready's already soaked slit.  She let out a grunt of satisfaction, slapping Asger's back as he pounded her mossy bank. Magnhild squirmed as Karl's tongue danced over clit.  Her hair ticked his nose as he flicked his tongue up and down.  Her sweet honey; clear and warm was smeared over the lower half of his face.  The taste was heavenly. He gripped the maidens thighs, pushing them up to make a little room under the furs; it was hot and he needed some fresh air.  Careful to not miss a drop, his tongue raced over her pink arse, lapping up her juices before they soaked into the furs.

Asger had found his stride.  He lifted O'Ready's legs into a V position, holding onto her heels to steady his strokes.  With each thrust he brought her knees to her milky white breasts; their jiggling was mesmerizing.

"Harder," O'Ready panted, "Fill me up." Asger's cock gleamed in white cream.  He'd never been inside someone so wet before, so eager, so playful. He could feel the walls around his cock tighten.  The loud moans from the strange woman sent him into a sexual frenzy.  He roared  as eight good spurts pumped O'Ready full.  With his climax spent, he bit down on her shoulder; sucking the skin in hopes of leaving his mark on her. O'Ready rolled her eyes towards Magnhild.  the maiden was caught in the throws of several body spasms; with each one she emitted a shrill of joy from her lips. She sighed with relief, gently brushing her fingers over her flushed cheeks. O'Ready wanted to taste the maiden.  Her now exposed torso and small pert breasts looked delicious. Time was not their friend.  She would have to forgo this opportunity. "Karl," she called out, "Come over here a second will you." Karl slithered over to O'Ready, poking his head out of the furs right next to hers. Without any warning, O'Ready licked Karl's mouth and lips.  "Thank you, that's all for now, she said.   The maiden was sweet, invoking the same arousal she'd felt when she'd fucked Lucifer.

"Are you quite finished now?"  Asked Karl.  "You could ask this supermodel what he found and then we'll be one step closer to getting home." The strange black glass object was brought forward.  O'ready recognized it straight away. "That's my cell phone," she said to Karl as the pair got dressed. The 8th century clothing was surprisingly comfortable. O'Ready searched the pockets from her modern clothing. Now she had two cell phones.  How was this possible? After unlocking the screen, she was presented with an entirely new wallpaper.  The time and date were different too.  The cell phone from the 8th century was 4 days ahead.  There was also a video message.

"What is it?"  Asked Karl. O'ready played the video. "Hi.  I'm future O'ready and if your'e watching this then you've just had one of the best fucks of your life." "Get back on track," came another voice on the video.  It was Karl. "Oh that's me," said Karl. "hello past Karl, said future Karl. "This is wrinkling my brain," said Karl. O'ready spoke next.  "We managed to send my cell phone back in time.  Flint has been apprehended but Weissman is still at large. Now Im gonna need you both to hold hands and once this vid is done, go into the apps and click the Mcfly app.  It will make sense in about thirty seconds.  By for now.  Oh and past O'Ready.  Your';e gonna love what comes next." The video ends and Karl took hold of O'Ready's right hand. "Very well.  Lets see what this does."  O'Ready pressed the app. Spinning.  Voices in the dark.  A strange blue light then.... The pair found themselves starting at a large neon billboard. "Wells that's new, said Karl. The billboard was an advert for family holidays to Mars. HAPPY NEW YEAR. NEW YORK. The year is 2231.

Revisiting Chapters: Sansa VI, ASoS

This is also on my wordpress.

The story so far…

After 2 3/4 books and a hell of a lot of trauma culminating with Joffrey’s murder at the Purple Wedding, Sansa’s escaped King’s Landing! Let’s see if this place is any better…

The Drearfort

The chapter begins as Sansa arrives as Littlefinger’s…let’s call it place of birth. It couldn’t be clearer that he doesn’t regard it as a home, not truly. The scene-setting is described as uninviting - a rocky stretch of coast without much in the way of vegetation (unless you count the rotting seaweed). Littlefinger’s residence is an old flint tower, which complements a bleak grey sky and crashing waves. Even as seasick as she is, Sansa does not want to go ashore here. She’d rather wait on the ship until she sails for home.

Surprise! Littlefinger actually meant his home, a bit of verbal dancing Sansa missed. He describes it so:

“And there is stands, miserable as it is. My ancestral home. It has no name, I fear. A great lord’s seat ought to have a name, don’t you think? Winterfell, the Eyrie, Riverrun, those are castles. Lord of Harrenhal, now, that has a sweet ring to it, but what was I before? Lord of Sheepshit and Master of the Drearfort? It lacks a certain something.”

There’s upward mobility, and then there’s avarice. Littlefinger’s contempt for the place of his birth and his desire for more is apparent throughout the chapter. Hardly a word comes out of his mouth about the place that isn’t an insult, direct or backhanded, and often focused on the little he was born to.

“It is a rare thing for a boy born heir to rocks and sheep pellets to wed the daughter of Hoster Tully and the widow of Jon Arryn.”

“Nothing says home like the smell of burning dung.”

[“]No one has made off with any of my rocks or sheep pellets, I see that plainly.” Petyr gestured toward the fat woman. “Kella minds my vast herds. How many sheep do I have at present, Kella?” [Twenty-three sheep, as it happens.]

“Come, let’s see if my hall is dreary as I recall.”

Inside the hall is a very different experience of nobility than the one Sansa’s used to. Most of her childhood was spent at Winterfell, which as Littlefinger says, is one of the great castles. When Sansa left Winterfell, she went to the Red Keep, also not the typical castle. Now Sansa picks her way through a barely-grassed yard between sheepfold, stable, and small three-storey tower, trying not to get sheep shit on her shoes. The tower interior is three single-storey rooms - the kitchen/servants’ quarters/kennel on the ground floor, the hall on the second, and Littlefinger’s bedchamber on the third. No windows.

Similarly, whereas Sansa was born the sort of nobility with bloodlines going back thousands of years, Littlefinger’s family history is quite different. His great-grandfather was a Braavosi sellsword knighted in Lord Corbray’s service.

In a marked contrast to the local cuisine, which features a lot of cold salt mutton and gulls’ eggs, Littlefinger has fine wine and exotic fruit brought ashore for Sansa.

Later, we go on a brief tour of Littlefinger’s small holdings. It takes less than half a day for Sansa and Littlefinger to walk around them. His smallfolk consist of a dozen families living near a peat bog. Only the oldest people there know him, which shows us how often he visits and how attentively he minds his lands. There used to be a hermit, supposedly with the gift of prophecy, who told Littlefinger’s father that Littlefinger would be a great man. Take that as you will.

Again recalling that GRRM tends to write castles as reflecting their big name residents, consider the fact that Littlefinger’s holdings are a cold, barren, and miserable place where he has no real human connections.

The Hidden Dagger

After everyone’s inside, Littlefinger starts on the important plot business. Not only does this exposit a lot of the machinations behind the Purple Wedding, it’s the first real lesson he gives Sansa in politics. 

First on the agenda is hiding Sansa as Littlefinger’s bastard daughter, so that Varys’ agents don’t find her. Sansa’s upset at having to pretend to be someone from a lower social class, but Littlefinger explains things, giving her a cover story and some homework in the form of  devotional books to quote from. Being the daughter of a wealthy Braavosi woman and entrusted to the Faith gives Sansa plenty of cover for her level of education and social graces. She takes the name of her new identity from Littlefinger’s mother, making this a very rare occasion in the series where we have the name of someone’s mother but not their father.

Then Littlefinger brings out his dagger to cut the fruit he and Sansa are sharing, and starts talking about Ned and how hopeless Ned was at politics. I find this pretty suspicious; I strongly suspect this is the knife Littlefinger put to Ned’s throat. The evidence here is no stronger than our knowledge of Littlefinger’s tendency for gloating (though I think in this case the show’s drawn from how this storyline’s going to end up). Regardless, this opens up a broader conversation about how politics in King’s Landing works. His basic theory is that there are only two sorts of people, players and pieces, and that you move pieces around by knowing what they want.

Littlefinger’s assessment of Cersei is accurate as it is merciless: of the three bases of her political strength, she only truly owns the one (her beauty), and that’s not going to last forever. In the meantime, she has no idea to do with the power she’s wanted for so long.

This in turn leads to Sansa’s guess at who poisoned Joffrey. She thinks Dontos. Littlefinger tells her no, and why not - he’s a drunk, not suitable for such a delicate and important task - and brings out Oswell, to reveal to her that he brought the Kettleblacks to King’s Landing.

“Tell me, Alayne - which is more dangerous, the dagger brandished by an enemy, or the hidden one pressed to your back by someone you never even see?”

This is how Littlefinger operates, as he explains. He brought the Kettleblacks to King’s Landing, so that Tyrion would pay them to spy on Cersei. Sansa’s next guess as to who killed Joffrey is therefore one of them, recalling that Osmund was near the king all night. No, Littlefinger tells her, the Kettleblacks are too treacherous. Then he adds the other important bit of information as to his methodology:

“Clean hands, Sansa. Whatever you do, make certain your hands are clean.”

Out of guesses, Littlefinger lets Sansa in on the secret - the poisoner (or someone responsible for the poisoning, anyway) was the person who told Sansa that her hairnet was crooked and straightened it for her. Sansa gets it in a flash, and she’s shocked. When she works it out, Littlefinger fills her in completely.

“When I came to Highgarden to dicker for Margaery’s hand, [Olenna] let her lord son bluster while she asked pointed questions about Joffrey’s nature. I praised him to the skies, to be sure…whilst my men spread disturbing tales amongst Lord Tyrell’s servants. That is how the game is played.

“I also planted the notion of Ser Loras taking the white. Not that I suggested it, that would have been too crude. But men in my party supplied grisly tales about how the mob had killed Ser Preston Greenfield and raped the Lady Lollys, and slipped a few silvers to Lord Tyrell’s army of singers to sing of Ryam Redwyne, Serwyn of the Mirror Shield, and Prince Aemon the Dragonknight. A harp can be as dangerous as a sword, in the right hands.

[…]

“Be that as it may. Lady Olenna was not about to let Joff harm her precious darling granddaughter, but unlike her son she also realised that underneath his flowers and finery, Ser Loras is as hot-tempered as Jaime Lannister. Toss Joffrey, Margaery, and Loras in a pot, and you’ve got the makings of kingslayer stew. The old woman understood something else as well. Her son was determined to make Margaery a queen, and for that he needed a king…but he did not need Joffrey.”

Over the past book, Sandor Clegane and Cersei have both tried to explain politics to Sansa, but they never really got past be cynical and don’t trust anyone. Cersei in always had the secondary agenda of making Sansa feel like shit; Sandor was lashing out at someone challenging his worldview. Littlefinger is better than either of them at politics and scheming, his explanations are more sophisticated, and they’re meant so that Sansa actually understands the mechanics of what went on. Sansa picked up on the Margaery-Joffrey-Loras thing ages ago, and so she believes Littlefinger when he tells her.

Then there’s the other hidden dagger, the one that was pressed to the back of the Stark cause as a whole. It’s been a while since we saw Lysa Arryn in person - AGoT, in fact. Since then her absence from political affairs has been noted. In spite of repeated requests from her sister, her nephew, and her bannermen to weigh into the War of Five Kings, she’s stayed in the Vale and ordered everyone under her command to stay in the Vale as well. When last we heard of her, Littlefinger was assuring the Lannisters that he could persuade her to marry him.

Now that she’s shown up in person we can see that it’s not quite accurate. No persuading was necessary on Littlefinger’s part. Lysa is, in fact, demanding that Littlefinger marry her. More worryingly, we also discover that their association is long-term. 

“Sweet Petyr, I’ve missed you so, you don’t know, you can’t know. Yohn Royce has been stirring up all sorts of trouble, demanding that I call my banners and go to war. And the others all swarm around me, Hunter and Corbray and that dreadful Nestor Royce, all wanting to wed me and take my son to ward, but none of them love me. Only you, Petyr. I’ve dreamed of you so long.”

Lysa is dependent on Littlefinger, in fact, and it looks to be a political dependence too. She refers to years of silence and whisperings. What she says about the two of them making another brother or sister for Robin is also indicative that the sexual relationship Petyr asserted they had is, in this case, real.

The morning after the wedding, we discover that Littlefinger’s told Lysa everything about Sansa. She’s in on Littlefinger’s plans without a second thought. We also see her resentments over her first marriage and hints of resentment towards her sister:

“Jon Arryn was no dwarf, but he was old. You may not think so to see me now, but on the day we wed I was so lovely I put your mother to shame. But all Jon desired was my father’s swords, to aid his darling boys.”

Lysa describes the sex in that relationship as miserable and the lack of children has clearly hurt her. She’s miserable, and her misery has poisoned any love she once had for her sister. She only loves her son and Littlefinger now. Her dependence on Littlefinger only becomes clearer as she keeps talking.

“He may not look as tall or as strong as some, but he is worth more than all of them. Trust in him and do as he says.”

This should, by now, be raising some serious question as to what Lysa has listened to Littlefinger about. Especially when it’s followed up by this:

“A man will tell you that poison is dishonourable, but a woman’s honour is different. The Mother shaped us to protect our children, and our only dishonour is in failure.”

The truth that makes sense of that line will be revealed in Sansa’s next PoV chapter.

Love and Marriage

Poor Sansa flees a marriage and a wedding only to end up at a another wedding and facing down another marriage. That she was traumatised by the Purple Wedding is clear at the start of the chapter.

…she could keep nothing down, and even sleep came hard. Whenever she closed her eyes she saw Joffrey tearing at his collar, clawing at the soft skin of his throat, dying with flakes of pie crust on his lips and wine stains on his doublet. And the wind keening in the lines reminded her of the terrible thin sucking sound he’d made as he fought to draw in air.

Watching Joffrey’s murder did not do her much good. His death might have, but Sansa, herself, only suffered more for watching Joffrey suffer. Her catharsis is fleeting. Depicting a range of responses to violence and trauma is one of the best things GRRM does in this series - not every character finds revenge satisfying.

Sansa also feels substantial guilt over how she left Tyrion. Her first line of dialogue in the chapter is to say that Tyrion��s innocent. Littlefinger, who of course does not want Sansa to think well of anyone but him, tells her about Tysha - specifically, he tells her that Tyrion was the one who “made a gift of her” to Tywin’s guards, adding that he might have done the same to Sansa. We can see that the incident was not fully hushed up, and it’s not clear whether Littlefinger knows the full story. He concludes his short, false version of this story by saying “shed no tears for the Imp, my lady.” 

This does not work entirely. Sansa has to stop herself from telling Lysa that Tyrion was kind to her (in that he did not rape her).

When Littlefinger tells Sansa that he and Lysa are getting married, we get another look at how some of Sansa’s romanticism has survived her ordeals, and how it’s been tempered.

You said it was my mother you loved. But of course Lady Catelyn was dead, so even if she had loved Petyr secretly and given him her maidenhood, it made no matter now.

When Lysa arrives, eight days after Littlefinger and Sansa, she insists on a wedding then and there - within an hour of her arrival, in fact. At first we get a glimpse of Lysa happy:

Mead and marriage had taken years off Lady Lysa. She laughed at everything so long as she held her husband’s hand, and her eyes seemed to glow whenever she looked at him.

Then there’s the excruciatingly awkward scene where everyone’s stuck in the hall while upstairs Lysa and Littlefinger are having very loud sex. But the lighter material doesn’t last.

It’s sad, too, but Sansa’s also come to see potential marriages as sources of fear and grief, rather than happiness. When contemplating staying at the Fingers, she thinks,

At least I am safe here. Joffrey is dead, he cannot hurt me anymore, and I am only a bastard girl now. Alayne Stone has no husband and no claim. […] The long nightmare of King’s Landing was behind her now, and her mockery of a marriage as well.

Sansa also gets to see a bedding that’s not miserable, thinking on her own wedding.

Tyrion spared me that, Sansa remembered. It would not have been so bad being undressed for a man she loved, by friends who loved them both. By Joffrey, though…

A tradition that Sansa believed was supposed to be a moment of intimacy and a celebration with all her friends (think that illustration of Jaehaerys and Alysanne in Fire and Blood) was turned to an occasion of terror. Undoubtedly, it’s that for a lot of women in this setting, and probably quite a few men as well. Sansa goes outside and thinks hard on her own wedding, still not trusting that Tyrion ever meant her well for real, and reminded of Sandor Clegane.

Then, just as Sansa goes to bed (under the stairs a la Harry Potter), we see that Sansa just cannot escape sexual violence. Marillion accosts her, groping her, and making it very plain he won’t take no for an answer. From what he says, female bastards in Westeros are supposedly promiscuous. He’s only deterred by Lothor Brune, looking out for Sansa under instructions from Littlefinger. When Sansa falls asleep, she dreams traumatic dreams of Joffrey and Robb dying, and Tyrion staring at her as she undresses, until he gets into her bed and turns into Sandor Clegane. The sex and violence are intermingled in a way Sansa is not comfortable with, which makes a very sad sense when you consider just how much sexual violence and anticipation thereof she’s experienced. She’s thirteen.

Within a few hours of that, Lysa’s trying to betroth Sansa to Sweetrobin. Sansa feels only tiredness and resignation.

All she knew of Robert Arryn was that he was a little boy, and sickly. It is not me she wants her son to marry, it is my claim. No one will ever marry me for love.

Sansa the archromantic has given up on ever having that for herself. It’s so heartbreaking. Especially as Lysa goes on to sell the marriage to Sansa.

“Robert has weak eyes, but he loves to be read to,” Lady Lysa confided. “He likes stories about animals the best. Do you know the little song about the chicken who dressed as a fox? I sing him that all the time, he never grows tired of it. And he likes to play hopfrog and spin-the-sword and come-into-my-castle, but you must always let him win. That’s only proper, don’t you think? He is Lord of the Eyrie, after all, you must never forget that. You are well born, and the Starks of Winterfell were always proud, but Winterfell has fallen and you really are just a beggar now, so put that pride aside. Gratitude will better become you, in your present circumstances. Yes, and obedience. My son will have a grateful and obedient wife.”

There’s no pride for Sansa in this, no independence, no dignity, no prospect of love or partnership. What Lysa’s describing is making Sansa a permanent nursemaid in service to a perpetual child. No wonder Sansa just gave up.

Throughout all this there’s Littlefinger, always solicitous, always kind and charming to Sansa’s face. Except he doesn’t actually have Sansa’s best interests in mind. I’ve already mentioned how he attempts to undermine Sansa’s belief in Tyrion’s kindness. There’s also how he treats Sansa’s belief that they were sailing for Winterfell.

His grey-green eyes regarded her innocently. “You look distraught. Did you think we were making for Winterfell, sweetling? Winterfell has been taken, burned, and sacked. All those you knew and loved are dead. […] Winterfell was the home of your childhood, but you are no longer a child. You’re a woman grown, and you need to make your own home.”

So, ick. Aside from tricking Sansa into believing they were going to Winterfell, and then implicitly calling her stupid and childish for falling for this trick, Littlefinger then flips the script - oh, Sansa, you’re far too mature to want something as silly as home, aren’t you? This is part of his long term strategy to start a sexual relationship with her. His aim is to make her believe that she has the maturity and emotional resources to engage in a sexual relationship of her own free will. He wants her to believe that she chose things, rather than having been manipulated and forced into them.

As plenty of people have noted, Littlefinger offers Sansa a pomegranate in his lengthy conversation with her this chapter, in some clear Hades and Persephone symbolism. Sansa rejects the pomegranate seeds, though. There’s hope in that.

Chapter Function

This chapter does a lot in terms of explaining the plot. Everything behind the Purple Wedding except who, exactly, put the poison in Joffrey’s cup is explained. It comes with some projections as to what we’ll see in AFFC - Margaery marrying Tommen, Cersei going off the deep end. 

It also gives us some important pieces as to everything going on with Lysa and Littlefinger, past and present. From earlier in the book, we knew Lysa had suffered a forced abortion from a teenage affair. Here we get enough to guess that it was Littlefinger she slept with, and that their relationship, such as it was, has lasted for many years. We also get enough to infer that Lysa’s listening to Littlefinger in matters of politics. We also get that strange mention of women using poison in a discussion of Jon Arryn and protecting one’s children.

This chapter also does quite a bit to set Sansa up for AFFC. It gives her a new name and a new position, a potential marriage to help her reclaim Winterfell (in a distant future Sansa can’t see yet). It also sets up Sansa’s relationship with Littlefinger - most prominently the student-teacher aspect, where he tells her everything about how he does politics, but it also shows us a bit of his emotional manipulation with an eye to sexual manipulation

Miscellany

Poor Sansa gets very seasick. Like she needed that on top of everything else.

Sansa, like Arya, wants her alias to be an homage to Catelyn.

The explanation for hiding Sansa as Littlefinger’s bastard daughter also helps explain to the readers why Ned’s hiding the biological son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark as his own bastard worked so well - it’s rude to ask about someone’s bastard children.

It’s mentioned here that the Vale’s harvests have been plentiful.

When talking to Sansa, Lysa says of Tyrion, “What woman would bed such a creature, but for gold?” Given what we learn at the end of the book…

Clothing Porn

Lothor Brune wears patched brown breeches, scuffed boots, and a cracked and waterstained jerkin.

Food Porn

Littlefinger offers Sansa a fruit platter - apples, pears, pomegranates, a blood orange, and grapes - served with bread and butter.

The wedding feast consists of quail, venison, roast boar, and a light mead described as fine.

There’s also a breakfast served of bread with butter, honey, fruit, and cream.

Körperrasierer Männer Top 10

So bekommst du glatte Haut am ganzen Körper

07Wir schreiben das 6. Jahrtausend v. Chr. Einer unserer Vorfahren greift zu einem Schaber aus Flint und beginnt sich seine Körperhaare von der Haut zu kratzen, genauso, wie er vorher die Haut eines Tieres gerbte. So oder so ähnlich begann die Geschichte der Rasur. Die Römer entwickelten aus der ersten Rasur ihrer Jungs ein Ritual, vorbei die Zeit der Kindheit, ab sofort war Mann ein Mann. Alle fanden es gut, die Klingen wurden weiterentwickelt, der Beruf des Barbiers wurde erfunden und dann kamen die Rasierklingen in jedes Zuhause. Die Rasur war kaum mehr wegzudenken. Erst waren es die Männer, die ihre Gesichtshaare trimmten, später dann auch die Frauen. Haare wurden von einer Notwendigkeit zum Schmuck, den man entweder haben wollte, oder nicht. Und das am ganzen Körper. Und wo sind wir heute? Bei Ganzkörperrasierern, Körperrasierer, Bodyshaver und Bodygroomer für jeden Haushalt. Welchen kann man für was gebrauchen? Heute dreht es sich um die Haarentfernung. - Körperrasierer Männer Top 10 (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || ).push({});

Was ist ein Körperrasierer?

Als Körperrasierer bezeichnet man ein Allround – Talent, mit welchem man den gesamten Körper, außer empfindliche und weniger gut zugängliche Stellen wie zum Beispiel die Ohren, rasieren kann. Es gibt sie in elektronischer und in manueller Form. Die Klingen, welche aus mindestens zwei, meistens allerdings fünf Klingen bestehen, sind austauschbar, bei den manuellen. Bei den elektronischen werden Messer angetrieben, in Form eines Kammes, welche das Haar schneiden. Es gibt zahlreiches Zubehör, welches ermöglicht, mit möglichst nur einem Gerät aber verschiedenen Aufsätzen, die Pflege des gesamten Körpers abzudecken. p>✰ Hinweis: entgegen der landläufigen Meinung, das Rasieren den Haarwuchs anregt ist es lediglich so, das durch das Rasieren die Haare schräg abgeschnitten werden. Die dadurch entstehenden Spitzen sind schärfer und haben eine größere Oberfläche. So sieht es aus als wäre es mehr oder dickeres Haar. Das Haarwachstum ist von verschiedenen Faktoren abhängig, allerdings nicht von der Kürzung.

Welche Möglichkeiten gibt es?

Nass oder elektrisch? Wem was besser gefällt, liegt daran, wo die persönlichen Vorlieben liegen, wie die Haut es besser verträgt und wie viel Zeit man hat. Eine Rasur mit Schaum und Nachpflege dauert natürlich länger als einfach zum elektrischen Bruder zu greifen. Mittlerweile haben die Hersteller einen Mittelweg gefunden, es gibt elektrische Rasierer, die wasserfest sind und die man dadurch auch fix in der Dusche gebrauchen kann. Erweiterungsgriff Auch der Männerrücken braucht Pflege. Damit man diese auch alleine bewerkstelligen kann, gibt es Erweiterungsgriffe. Der Rasierer kann auf einen Stiel aufgesteckt werden und so gelangt Mann auch an die schwer zugänglichen Stellen auf dem Rücken. Zugegeben, dies bedarf ein wenig Übung damit Mann alle lästigen Haare von den Schultern und dem Rücken entfernen kann. Aufsätze Verschiedene Aufsätze für die elektronischen Körperrasierer machen es möglich, beinahe jeden Teil des Körpers zu pflegen. Es gibt verschiedene Steckaufsätze für das Trimmen der Haare, der Barthaare und der Ohrenhaare. Messer ermöglichen eine glatte Rasur. Je mehr Aufsätze ein Gerät hat, desto vielseitiger ist es natürlich einsetzbar, allerdings steigt dann auch der Verschleiß. Bewegung erzeugt Bewegung, natürlich auch an den Halterungen selbst. Faltbar Wer viel auf Reisen ist oder sich oft rasieren muss, der muss den Rasierer natürlich auch transportieren. Auch zuhause muss der Rasierer irgendwo „wohnen“. Das einfachste ist es da, wenn das Gerät am besten so wenig Platz wie möglich einnimmt. Für die Rasierer, die man für den Rücken nutzt, gibt es Verlängerungen, die sich je nach Model zusammenklappen lassen. Damit verschwinden sie einfach im Schrank, man muss nichts an- oder abstecken oder extra den Schrank räumen. Zusammengeklappt sind sie auch Gefahrenlos in der Tasche zu transportieren. Automatische Reinigung Manche Rasierer bieten ein Komplettsystem an, bei dem man den Rasierer in die dafür vorgesehene Reinigungsstation steckt. Hier wird er automatisch gereinigt und desinfiziert. Das erfolgt Herstellungsbedingt natürlich sehr gründlich und übertrifft das bloße Ausspülen mit Wasser um Längen.

Körperrasierer für den Rücken

Jemand, der speziell etwas für seinen Rücken sucht, wird hier fündig. Ein Rasierer der komplett für diese Aufgabe geschaffen wurde. So ein Körperrasierer für den Rücken ist relativ einfach, aber dennoch auf dem neusten Stand der Technik. Ein sehr breites und komfortables Klingensystem ermöglicht es, sehr viel Haut auf einmal zu rasieren. Mit 9 cm Klingenbreite ist doch deutlich mehr Zeit eingespart. Die meisten Rasierer sind auch auf diesen harten Job ausgelegt, da vom Hersteller davon ausgegangen wird, das weitaus mehr Haar in dem Rasierer landet. Die meisten Rasierer, die man auch für das Gesicht nutzt, sind von der Ergonomie und Technik sehr viel feiner ausgelegt. Für den Rücken, die Arme und die Schulterblätter, darf es da deutlich breiter und größer sein. Auch haben diese Geräte einen Verlängerungsstiel. Damit kann man ganz bequem überall an den Rücken gelangen, ohne sich zu verrenken oder seinen Partner zu fragen. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || ).push({});

Worauf sollte man beim Kaufen achten?

Klar, jeder hat seine Vorlieben. In dieser kleinen Übersicht haben wir zusammengestellt, welche Punkte helfen, die richtige Kaufentscheidung zu treffen. womit komme ich besser zurecht? Mit einem Nass- oder Trockenrasierer? wie empfindlich ist meine Haut und welche Pflegemittel benötige ich? welche Körperregionen möchte ich mit dem Rasierer abdecken? wie viel Geld möchte ich für den Rasierer ausgeben? wie teuer sind die Folgekosten durch Klingen oder Blätter? kann ich den Rasierer bei Bedarf einschicken / reparieren lassen? wie gut sind die Reinigungsmöglichkeiten? Verfügt das Gerät eventuell über ein eigenes, automatisches Reinigungssystem? ist der Rasierer praktikabel und auch mal eben für zwischendurch geeignet? Akku oder lieber Strom? wie ist die Reisetauglichkeit?

Vor- und Nachteile der Trocken- beziehungsweise Nassrasur

Trockenrasur Vorteile ▴geht oft schneller als die Nassrasur ▴verschiedene Aufsätze und Trimmer sind nur für die trockene Rasur geeignet ▴einige Modelle sind wasserfest ▴kein ständiges Auswechseln der Klingen ▴Akku und Strombetrieb möglich Nachteile ▾der Anschaffungspreis ist meistens höher ▾gründliche manuelle Reinigung erforderlich, nicht so schnell und einfach Nassrasur Vorteile ▴gut für empfindliche Haut geeignet ▴die Reinigung erfolgt auch das nutzen von Wasser beim Rasieren ▴Nassrasierer sind leichter ▴für unter die Dusche geeignet Nachteile ▾kaum bis keine Aufsätze ▾öfter Klingenwechsel erforderlich

Tipps und Hinweise

✓ Nassrasur: wer sich zum ersten Mal seit längerer Zeit oder sogar das erste Mal rasiert, dem seine Haare sind mitunter vielleicht sehr lang. Damit der Rasierer nicht alle 2 cm komplett verstopft ist, hilft nur, vorher zu trimmen. Je weniger Haar, desto weiter kommt man. Das verlängert nicht nur die Lebensdauer der Klinge, ist weniger frustrierend sondern schützt auch deine Haut, da die Klingen sehr viel effektiver arbeiten können. Unter der Dusche kann man sich ruhig eine Minute Zeit lassen, Wasser macht die Haare und die Haut weicher. Das ermöglicht ein sauberes Gleiten, statt ein trockenes Gezerre. Die Verwendung von Rasiergel oder Schaum ist besonders für die empfindliche Haut geeignet. Es verpasst dem Haar und der Haut eine extra feuchte Packung. Mit sanften Zügen rasieren beugt ebenfalls Verletzungen vor. Die Klinge sollte stets scharf sein und oft ausgespült werden. Hautschonender ist das Rasieren mit der Wuchsrichtung, gründlicher ist das Rasieren gegen die Wuchsrichtung. Nach der Rasur kommt die Pflege. Da die Haut so oder so, durch das Rasieren in Mitleidenschaft gezogen wurde, eignet sich eine schöne Feuchtigkeitspflege hervorragend, um Hautirritationen und Pickelbildung vorzubeugen. ✓ Trockenrasur: bei einer sehr empfindlichen, vielleicht auch pickeligen Haut, empfiehlt sich eher eine Trockenrasur. Vorher kann und sollte man ein Pre-Shave Produkt auftragen, dies stellt die Haare auf und so lassen sie sich besser rasieren. Manche enthalten auch antiseptische Wirkstoffe die helfen Entzündungen vorzubeugen. Etwa alle 18 Monate sollte das Scheerblatt gewechselt werden, eine gründliche Reinigung, die auch mal eine Desinfektion beinhalten darf, ist Programm.

Fazit

Im Grunde ist mit jedem Rasierer eine Ganzkörperrasur möglich, je nach Aufwand. Wer sich mal eben rasieren möchte, für den ist ein Trockenrasierer mit Akku eher geeignet. Für den Rücken eignet sich am besten ein Nassrasierer, mit Verlängerung, den man unter der Dusche nutzen kann. Verschiedene Aufsätze für Trockenrasierer machen eine Rasur für den Körper, auch an den Ohren oder an den Kopfhaaransätzen leicht und einfach. Vor- und Nachpflege ist natürlich genauso wichtig für ein exzellentes Ergebnis. Vielfältige Möglichkeiten der Körperpflege bieten sich und Männer zumindest, werden um verschiedene Produkte nicht herumkommen. Die Damenwelt hat es da deutlich einfacher. Die verschiedenen Angebote im Netz machen es heutzutage deutlich einfacher sich zu Informieren, welches Produkt und Modell man für seine Anforderungen benötigt. Kundenmeinungen und Kommentare helfen, das passende zu finden. Wer dann noch ein bisschen den Kosten- Nutzfaktor im Auge behält bei den Folgekosten und ein qualitativ hochwertiges Produkt sucht, mit scharfen und langlebigen Klingen und Messern, die man leicht reinigen und hin und wieder desinfizieren kann, der wird keinerlei Probleme haben einen geschmeidig glatten und gepflegten Körper zu besitzen, indem Mann und Frau sich wohl fühlt. >>Ganzkörperrasierer Mann Vergleiche hier klicken Read the full article

Folge 49: Nichts geht mehr - Was Du bei einem Plateau definitiv nicht tun solltest

In der letzten Podcastfolge haben wir uns darüber unterhalten, wodurch beim Abnehmen ein Plateau entstehen kann. Heute will ich Dir erzählen, was Du bei einer Plateau-Phase auf keinen Fall tun solltest. Zuvor kurz der Hinweis auf das Gewinnspiel. Ich verlose zehn Mal mein Buch „Machs gut Dicker, für Männer die schlank, fit, stark und gesund werden wollen.“ Was musst Du für die Teilnahme tun? Zunächst bewerte diesen Podcast auf iTunes. Mach dann einen Screenshot von Deiner Bewertung und schicke diesen Screenshot mit Deiner Adresse, an die ich das Buch schicken soll, falls Du gewinnst, per E-Mail an kontakt@machs-gut-dicker.de. Die ersten zehn Podcast-Hörer, die das machen, bekommen das Buch dann per Post zugeschickt. Es sind noch einige Bücher übrig!

Ein Plateau kann Dich frustrieren

So eine Plateau-Phase kann frustrierend sein. Aber das erste, was Du nicht tun solltest ist, die Flinte ins Korn zu werfen und aufzugeben. Gerade in dieser Phase meldet sich gerne der innere Schweinehund und winkt mit alten Gewohnheiten. Er würde gerne, dass Du wieder der Alte und damit wieder der Dicke wirst. Deshalb wird er Dir vielleicht einreden, dass es keinen Zweck mehr hat, dass Du aufgeben und Dich nicht mehr anstrengen sollst. Hör nicht auf ihn. Wie in der letzten Folge beschrieben, nutze Dein Visionboard und Dein Erfolgstagebuch, um Deine bisherigen Leistungen zu feiern. Mach Dir bewusst, was Du schon alles erreicht hast.  Dann justiere vielleicht noch einmal Deine Ziele nach, wenn die Etappenziele, die noch vor Dir liegen etwas zu ehrgeizig gesetzt sind. Wie ich schon sagte, am Anfang nimmt man schnell und viel ab, aber das wird irgendwann langsamer und weniger. Wenn die noch kommenden Ziele deshalb zu groß gesteckt sind, frustriert es natürlich, wenn Du diese nicht mehr oder nur mit Schinderei erreichst. Daher darfst Du diese Ziele gerne an die veränderten Rahmenbedingungen anpassen. Du solltest auf keinen Fall zu extremen Maßnahmen greifen. Damit meine ich zum einen, dass Du Dein Kaloriendefizit über die Maßen vergrößerst. Wenn Du bei anfangs 2500 Kilokalorien Gesamtkalorienbedarf und 20 Prozent Defizit 500 Kalorien am Tag weniger gegessen hast, dann bringt es jetzt nichts, wenn Du bei nur noch 2000 Kilokalorien Gesamtkalorienbedarf auf einmal 750 oder 1000 Kilokalorien am Tag weniger futterst, weil Du doch wieder glaubst „Viel hilft vielleicht doch viel“. Du zwingst Deinen Körper damit nur in den Überlebensmodus und in den Hungerstoffwechsel und das bremst dich eher noch mehr aus und es wird für Deine Gesundheit gefährlich. Dein Kaloriendefizit wie beschrieben an die neuen Rahmenbedingungen - den geringeren Gesamtkalorienbedarf - anzupassen ist, ok. Aber mach nicht den ersten Schritt zur Magersucht, indem Du dir das Hungern beibringst. 

Die andere extreme Maßnahme ist, dass Du es beim Sport ins Extreme treibst. Wenn Du, um weiter abzunehmen, plötzlich stundenlange Jogging-Einheiten machst oder exzessives Krafttraining machst, dann machst Du dich kaputt. In einer Nachbargemeinde gibt es eine Frau, die genau das getan hat. Sie war und ist tatsächlich krankhaft laufsüchtig. Früher sah man sie quasi fast täglich joggen. Einmal soll ihr, so wird erzählt, beim Laufen ein Knochen im Unterschenkel gebrochen sein. Nicht, weil sie gestürzt ist, sondern einfach so. Ein Ermüdungsbruch. Heute ist sie spindeldürr und ausgemergelt. Sie kann nicht mehr sportlich laufen, sonder trippelt in viel zu weiten Sportklamotten nur noch wackelig und unsicher durch die Gegend. Also, wenn Du eine Plateau-Phase erreichst solltest Du weder die Flinte ins Korn werfen und wieder anfangen, dich ungesund und überkalorisch zu ernähren. Noch solltest Du anfangen dich mit extremen Diäten oder extremem Sport gesundheitlich zu ruinieren. In der nächsten Folge schauen wir uns an, wie Du deine Seifenkiste auf vernünftige und gesunde Art und Weise anschiebst und wieder ins Rollen bringst, also, wie Du die Plateau-Phase überwindest. Bis dahin.  Music from https://filmmusic.io: "Tablamixx" by Sebsdor (https://www.72grad.de/) Licence: CC BY-SA + (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.de) Lesen Sie den ganzen Artikel
