GAHHHJ IM SORRY BUT I LOVE MIZO MID BOYS SM 😭

A little cuddling date with Mizo mid boys sound sosososisosiisossoso 🥹

🦈

I LIVVVVVVE MY SWEET ANON （*＾3＾）/～☆ My apology for this being as late as it was- I was so excited to work on this too, it's such a sweet idea 😭 I was just bombarded by horrific news and bad weather, I hope you can at least understand (I won't wish you to know the experience, because if you do, then we both know how shitty it is).

☆゜・。。・゜゜・。。・゜★

𝙲𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝙰𝚜𝚜 𝙵𝚎𝚎𝚝 𝚃𝚛𝚊𝚞𝚖𝚊

YAMAGISHI

• If you two just set up the date where the raw purpose of it is to cuddle

•Oohhhhh boy

• Better hope you don't move a lot cause there's so much SHIT just SPEWN ALLLLLL OVER HIS BED AND BETWEEN THE BLANKETS 😭

• It's only shit he planned to be there tho• Like Yamagishi wanted you to be able to just palm around the blankets and just pull out a snack bag from the bed's inventory

• So thoughtful

• if you're a cold person, I genuinely don't know how you'll feel knowing this but

• He's like grossly warm

• Yes yay he's warm and cuddly and all nice wooo

• But what the fuck

• Shottie's that weiiiird warm, I don't know if you understand but

• There you go

• Do with that what you will

• I get the feeling that he routinely gets up to pee every half hour 😭

• HIS CUDDLES ARE GREAT! His arms are just MWAH smug and comfy- it's just- fucking sit still boy, cmon

• He's definitely the guy to rest his chin on top of your head. Big spoon or little spoon, he gotta have a chin spot

• If he could sit still, he'd be a solid 9/10 cuddler, so I'm gonna go ahead and put him as a 8.2 😌

MAKOTO

• t h e r e . i s . n o . e s c a p e .

• He's very polite and makes sure to ask if you're all comfyyyyy or if there's anything you might need to grab to have nearrrr and he snuggles up so nice as (preferably) the bigger spoooon

• and once he has his hands on you

• you're not fucking leaving

• excuse you? No, I don't care if your colon implodes, we're on a fucking cuddle date, that means cuddles and you can't give cuddles if you LEAVE ME-

• 😭😭 I mean he doesn't mean to, and I swear he barely notices it ok?

• I don't know how you guys feel about being a prisoner to a caring partner who wouldn't even realize if you stopped breathing during a cuddle date

• LEMME EXPLAIN HERE

• He's got you, his beloved partner, under his arm and sharing warm, loving affection. What else could he need to relax?

• n e w s a r t i c l e s . 🗞

• He's at peace with you so he's taking the time to relax and read through things going on with the media on his phone and just generally zone out

• He's not focused on you at all like consciously

• So if you feel loved being both coddled and neglected, he's the one guys. 😭👍

• Personally I'd give him an extra 2 points for how soft his body is like? Bro? How the-?? So sadly he's the lowest ranking of the Mizo Middle boys with a (not too bad!!) 6.7/10

TAKUYA

• I swear he's so

• G A H (lovingly)

• allow me to start off by saying he's the softest and firmest motherfucker out there

• AND AND AND READER- AND READER AND READER AND READER

• HES GOT CHIPMUNK CHEEEEEKS

• if you squish them he's just gonna whine at you to knock it off 😭

• He's the perfect temperature ALWAYS

• He doesn't mind any specific cuddling forms and is just generally glad to have time to spend with you

• NEJSKWKEKSKAKKW

• He's a very sleepy guy, I personally believe he has a work-out routine he strictly sticks to in order to obtain the muscles of his dreams

• Imagine how nice they'll be to lay on when he's older omg

• but anyways 💀

• He's so great, he's just the greatest back pack or the best little body pillow to squeeze• He can't help himself from falling asleep tho, and that's like the only downside to cuddling with this guy 😭

• So I'm gonna go ahead and give him a solid 9/10 😌

AKKUN

• .....this boy-

• no forget politeness

• This BITCH AND HIS H A I R

• THE FUCKING HAIR

• HE HAS SUCH A HARD TIME TRYNA GET COMFORTABLE WITH YOU WITHOUT RUINING HIS HAIR 😭😭 IT'S BEYOND RIDICULOUS

• He is obsessed with cuddling, however

• He's a super soft huggy boy who just wants to hold ya gently while watching something together and squish your shoulders or your hips outta nowhere

• I feel like if yall cuddled and he wasn't watching or reading anything and being distracted,

• Yall would be having a 3am deep type conversation at like 7pm 😭

• like if there's no TV and no book or phone, it's just YOU 👁👁

• He's a tiny bit chilly but his skin is super soft

• He moisturizes 🤫

• You KNOW he smells like those really nice hair products you normally only get to smell fresh after a haircut yk?

• I feel like he has to readjust his feet a bit cause- sorry honey, but them feet colder than the grim reaper's grasp 😭💀

• Like yall watchin a movie and he moves to get his knee up more and get comfy at the hip• And this mfs luggy ass toes just scrape your foot• He apologies it's fine

• .....bro if you got a foot fetish tho he's gonna be disgusted by any comments you make, I hope you're aware people hate you

• like

• uhh no judgement tho??

• Anyways, considerate boy is a pretty good 7.4/10 cuddler 😌

• If yall are disappointed and think I rated him too low, no disrespect but FUCK YALL 😭 YOU DONT KNOW MY COLD ASS FEET TRAUMAS

☆゜・。。・゜゜・。。・゜★

And we leave off on a very odd note- but I definitely feel the mizo middle boys are high ranking cuddlers

EVERYONE SHUT UP ROHAN CAMPBELL SANG FUCKING HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME HOLY FUCK

Ramble under the cut but basically

Jeffrey Combs called me cute because I was shy and drew me a birthday cake

Bruce Abbott called me short

William Katt called me beautiful when I showed him my Carrie costume from Halloween and hugged me before we even took the picture

Rohan Campbell made the crowd sing happy birthday to me

Rohan also hugged me and was very nice and spoke gently to me seeing that I was basically about to have a panic attack

Jeffrey, William, and Rohan all have my art now and were a little shocked that I actually drew stuff for them and acted (?) honored when I said they could keep it

Tommy was so sweet like. Sickeningly. I gave him my art and he literally came around the table to hug me. And like. I showed him that I was Carrie for Halloween and he called me beautiful. Teehee. And we took a regular picture and then he was like wait let’s take a prom pose!!! SCREAMS. Anyways. Herbert was so SILLY. He was like oh don’t be shy!!! And my mom called me creepy and he was like no he’s cute!!! And I also gave him my art and he laughed at a doodle I did of Dan yelling at Herbert for putting blood in the microwave and then Herbert as Chococat. And of course he drew a cake. And as he was drawing Dan came over and whispered something in his ear and Herbert was jokingly like GO AWAY!!! Then we went to Dan and he was like oh where are you from and I told him and he’s like wow that’s a cool town name is it cool ajd I was like no nothing goes on and our mall sucks and he laughed at it and when he went to take a picture with me he was like oh jeez you’re short lemme just lean down! And I almost started crying and laughing at the same time. WITH COREY THOUGH. COREY. OOHHHHH COREY. FUCK. Okay. When I first got to him he introduced himself like hiiii I’m Rohan what’s your name!! And again. I am shy. I could not look at him. But I gave him my art and he was like FOR ME??? OMG and he literally stopped everything he was doing to take a picture and he started like. Heavy laughing because I made a doodle of him with the caption “just beefed with a senior citizen” and I was like it’s for you and he was like I GET TO KEEP IT 🥺🥺🥺🥺 and he made the crowd sing happy birthday which. I. Practically died. and he took a picture with me and like. His. His boobie. Was on my arm. He has. Muscles. And he noticed I was like fucking. SHAKING. And he was like can I give you a hug??? And he gave me a hug and he literally leaned down and he was like hey I’m really glad I got to meet you you’re a really great artist I hope you have an awesome birthday and I ALMOST RAN AWAY CRYING

Hello! Don't worry I'm not requestion just asking a question that's been stuck in my head since I read your Dragon AU and enjoyed both Time and Warrior. I really have to ask: if Warrior is a fire dragon and Time seems to be some nature or forest dragon.... What about the other lu boys? What are their elements?

OOhhhhh!!!! I'm so happy you asked! I love dragon au!

Warrior is a fire dragon, yes. I like to think he can't really control his magic because of his over use of the fire rod during his adventure. :)

Time used to be a forest dragon, but with all the magic items he's dealt with in the past, he's absorbed a bit of everything, but the most of it was the Fierce Deity mask. It "purified" him a way that bleached his scales and changed the manner of his magic making him more of a dietic dragon.

Twilight would also be a forest dragon, but he would have massive scars down his back when his wings were torn away from him.

Wind would be a more serpentine sort of dragon, like dragonair from Pokémon that can control the wind. That's how he's able to still fly. :)

Hyrule is a dragon that uses pure energy. He's closer to the fairies than most and would deal out more plasma blasts in comparison. He was glass stained wings and bright orange feelers on his legs and neck that look like fur.

Wild became more of a chimera over timer after absorbing the Champion's powers but as a base he was also more serpentine like Wind. But more greenish in tint. After he manages to get his memories, the damage is done, giving him antlers, deer legs for arms, a mane and spikes on his once smooth and silky tail.

Legend is a dragon of a different sort entirely. He's a tiny pink jackalope with bat wings. His main magic was earth but during his travels it was put on the back burner and almost entirely forgotten. He can deal all sorts of magic instead because he's absorbed so much from all his items, but they're unpredictable and weak. He's a Jack of all Trades but too soft.

Good thing he's hella rich. Making him one of the top three most desirable dragons out of the group.

Four is a steel dragon with pale yellow scales that when hit by the light can reflect a multitude of colors back, like red, green, blue, purple- very nice. He's also very thin and serpentine in appearance but until Wind and Wild, he still has his four legs.

Sky is a lightning dragon with a closer resemblance to Toothless. He's earned the nickname Storm Lord as his dragonate title.

Ok ok- something my brain just clicked for some reason when i spaced out BAD in class.

————————————————————————

Everyone knows that Giyuu is basically the big brother/caretaker for the kamaboko squad and co. So i literally just thought that since he was taken under Urokodakis wing because he didn’t have anyone else, that he did the same for them.

anywayyyys, he’s a fantastic brother for the kamaboko squad. that’s just fact at this point, he’s patient (like, so damn patient) and he seems pretty understanding and would 100% listen to whatever they have to say. he probably gives the most direct answers and criticism, it’s so honest that they all mistake for insults. he’s an honest man can you blame him???

————————————————————————

Giyuu: that was awful, try again.

Tanjiro: oh- ok!… was that an insult..?

Giyuu: what- no? it’s constructive criticism.

Tanjiro: oohhhhh- ok! sorry for assuming that!

Giyuu: it’s fine… i’m not very good with tone of voice.. if you couldn’t tell.

Tanjiro: i’m sure you’ll get better if you practice!

Giyuu: your optimism makes my head hurt.

Inosuke: FIGHT ME HALF AND HALF HAORI

Giyuu: no.

Inosuke: WHY NOT

Giyuu: im hungry so i dont feel like it.

Inosuke: …i’m hungry too

Giyuu: let’s go eat then, my treat.

Inosuke: HAHAHHAHAHA FOOD

Zenitsu: how do you stay so relaxed??? it seems so impossible to be relaxed in a world like this.

Giyuu: drugs.

Zenitsu: WHAT?!?!

Giyuu: i’m joking lol, just a lot of meditation and self discipline.

Zenitsu: is that all..? does that cure anxiety??

Giyuu: oh fuck no, i’m still a wreck

Zenitsu: i figured…wait.. YOU HAVE ANXIETY?!?!?!

Giyuu: i have a lot more than that…

Giyuu: excuse me, do you know where kocho is?

Kanao: …

Giyuu: um.. do you know where kocho is? like.. at all..?

Kanao: …

Giyuu: understandable, have a nice day and i’ll leave you alone now. thanks for your time.

Genya: do you know sanemi shinazugawa?

Giyuu: uhh- yeah. I work with him, why?

Genya: he’s my.. older brother..

Giyuu: woah… i didn’t know he had siblings.

Genya: he doesn’t talk about me..?

Giyuu: nope, not a lick of anything. sorry, that sounded mean.

Genya: wow, you sound really monotone..

Giyuu: a talent of mine.. is that a gun-?

Genya: oh! yeah, i can’t use breathing styles so i just use a gun lol

Giyuu: that’s cool, i haven’t shot a gun in a hot minute.

Genya: you know how to shot a gun? you think you can teach me some things?

Giyuu: uh- yeah. i could probably teach you a thing or two.

[st4rdom-if]

Oohhhhh my god. I'm sorry but like, whether you choose MC to be genderlocked as female, male or whatever, it is YOUR choice and you don't owe us anything because it's your story and your game. People need to accept that and move on.

I'm sorry if I cone off aggressive, but let's just establish that that's what you chose and move the fuck on. Please.

Aw, thank you for the kind words (future me here, maybe “kind” isn’t the right word but to me I thought you were being nice about wanting to respect my decision 😊). I do agree that answering the same asks of "so MC is only going to be female?" does get tiring after a while. I think some people are hoping that they won't have to stay genderlocked to cisfemale through the game, but I can't say I haven't thought of having an option to subtly switch FTM or nonbinary.

[rollinouttahere-writes]

Okay, this another update.

Well, I didn't really liked how the concept art turned out so I am changing it while I decided to make an mini-comic of Luffy from Historically accurate pirates AU and―

DAMN

Maybe I should instead make comics of them idk-

OOHHHHH!!! THIS LOOKS SO NICE

I love everything about this, the pose is amazing!

[salty-an-disco]

Just yeah know the attitude of specter and nightmare surprisingly playful for being left to rot in the cabin basement that you really don’t get in other routes. Then there’s wraith who’s rightfully sick of birdman shit

Oohhhhh!! Yeah, it’s a nice dichotomy.

[chemical-irwin]

oohhhhh i need to spill some thoughts about hsmtmts because the brainrot is real. as a lover of Gina Porter and a day 1 Rina warrior, i LOVED watching Gina getting everything she every wanted, and watching Rina be so amazingly disgustingly in love all season was more amazing than i could’ve imagined

but i also feel like most of the conflict i actually wanted to see maybe be addressed was just… sidestepped?

Rini had a lot of faults as a couple, but i think the bottom line for why they wouldn’t work was because their life goals and levels of ambition made them not compatible.

their communication with each other got bad because they were afraid to tell each other the truth. Ricky tried the long distance relationship and came to the conclusion that he found it difficult. and i think Nini came to the conclusion that she wouldn’t be able to fly and fully be herself while being by his side. (also ricky had feelings for another girl, sooo)

okay but Rina are literally soulmates. the difference is that they love and understand each other so much they are willing to fight through all the hardships and insecurities. they were going to find a way to have it all (and i believe they can)

that’s why i wish that they went through with Gina not being able to be Gabriella. it actually does seem like an alright sacrifice to make when she got the role in the film. just like it wasn’t important for her to be Gabriella in s1, Ricky and Gina making time for each other even though she was on set all day would’ve been a nice thing to see. (but also what is more meta than Gina coming in halfway through the show to sing a Gabriella hsm3 song?)

it would’ve been good to show that Ricky wasn’t worried about their limited time together like he was Nini. and he didn’t need to feel intimidated by Mack, whose ‘at the same level’ as Gina and wouldn’t hold her back. it’s one of Ricky’s biggest insecurities, and he still feels like that in the final.

i also think it would’ve been awesome to see Ricky help Dani. having Ricky’s plot be so Gina focused the last two seasons is fine for showing his character growth with relationships- but i also feel sad a a Ricky fan that he still feels somewhat lost by the end.

i wish somebody would turn and say to him that he’s a leader, and he has this super power to see through peoples hard exteriors and gets them to come out of their shells and connect with others (i loved his and Jets friendship in s3). Dani is supposed to be ambitious and business savvy, she couldve been a good foil for Ricky, instead we got a half baked story with Kourtney that was dropped. Ricky is talented! he should monetise it! (also it would’ve been good to see gina work through jealousy)

the fact Ricky’s conclusion was ‘as long as Gina can help me study, i’ll be able to get A’s go to college’ is definitely a conclusion. Gina getting to film the film in SLC is cool but what about the next film where she won’t have a clever plan for her conflicts? i feel like the show presents these situations to say ‘would this be tough for them? well Gina Porter can move mountains so you won’t have to know!’

sometimes love isn’t always enough for a couple. they actually might be Romeo and Juliet, where they are star-crossed, or they might not be, i feel like we never really got to put them to the test. (the fact that their rain kiss is about a miscommunication about her moms house rules, rather than the actual angst in their relationship was interesting!)

but also this is an 8 episode Disney Plus show soooo y’know

[bfwonu]

seventeen's reaction to watching the all too well (10 minute ver.) (taylor's ver.) mv

seungcheol: after watching dinner party & kitchen scene, he would know something was Wrong but can’t quite “put his finger on it.” after explaining it to him he would let out the world’s longest OOHHHHH

jeonghan: “why do we care about these people?” ...i also imagine a line about white people being on their bullshit again GDSHFGHSD

joshua: “is that dylan o’brien? i haven’t seen that dude since like, the maze runner movie- wait she looks a lot younger than him-”

jun: would laugh every time they kissed bc he thinks it looks funny. asks why she would leave such a nice scarf at his sister’s house

soonyoung: just watches intently with a pout the entire time, probably cries during the happy montages

wonwoo: call it wishful thinking but when you ask him what the red flags were at the end he would describe all of them Perfectly. 

jihoon: already watched it before you propose watching it together. you will NOT catch him slipping!

seokmin: another crier except it’s during the fighting parts, keeps saying “what an asshole…”

mingyu: “this was a test??!” but he does in fact pass.

minghao: “why do we care about these people?” pt. 2 but he’d still appreciate the cinematography and whatnot, does not care about the lore tho (valid).

seungkwan: already read about the lore online when everyone was talking about it, has exasperated reactions to everything.

vernon: has the most Concerned expression on his face the entire time, murmers “what the fuck, dude” under his breath every ten seconds

chan: when the video ends he very cautiously asks, “you aren’t trying to tell me something, are you…?”

[bookishcatcafe]

For Stolas x Rocky, who do you think would make the first move? Rocky or Stolas? Also, I have two ship names for them, Demonic Synphony or Royal Synphony?

Oohhhhh they both would probably make the first move at the same time…though it wouldn’t surprise me if Stolas tried to make the first move, albeit with some shy hesitancy, while Rocky would be more outgoing in doing the first move.

So I guess Rocky probably :3

Omg cute names!

Royal Symphony would be nice.

Or maybe like Poetic Royalty? Demonic Poets?

Pancake Couple? Maple Feather Goofballs.

Hehehe

[sophieswundergarten]

@nobodysdaydreams The end of the school year is getting to me, but here are my notes on Chapter 25 of S.O.S.

(Sorry it's kind of short)

Chapter 25!!! Milestone!!! I want to bake you a cake :) 

“He glanced at Number Two. / “Sorry, I’m having feelings,” she admitted.”

I love her

VERY interested in seeing how you write the Two family…

And poor Nicholas trying to stay in-character and also trying to be nice

One! He’s such a weirdo guy /pos

JACKSON AND JILLSON!!!!

Poor Erika ajsdfjfdk. She’s not paid enough for this.

“You have absconded with a mastermind?” Is also a very hilarious line. It always gets me

I’ll never get over the Two family’s naming conventions. How did that get into the final script, I feel like someone hastily scribbled down possible names and then they just got automatically approved adsjfdjk

Oohhhhh

I love Reynie and Miss Perumal’s conversation about Curtain. It’s so good. I love it every time, and you’ve done so phenomenally with it

“Nathaniel was sensitive to [being betrayed]” I MEAN YEAH, FAIR. But also have you considered he’s a bit of a lunatic???

“once again allowing his brother to indulge the honor of calling him by his old name, though it held no meaning anymore” You liar

Oh my word, he’s such a guy. His whole mental hoops and rigamarole to make sense of his own thoughts are really… something

I love the little sibling bickering interaction where Nicholas is like “We are in a SECRET location” and then Curtain’s just like “I know exactly where you are” and he go D:

As always, it is fantastically enhanced by your writing

NICHOLAS USING NATHANIEL’S TRICKS AGAINST HIM

Oooooohh, Number Two time

One is so oblivious. Why is he so very unhelpful? C’mon, buddy, help your sister

It’s really interesting how much Curtain is convinced that Nicholas will always be there to beat him. At least for me, that’s very much a sibling thing. You fight and you get mad and sometimes you feel like you hate each other, but you do that because you always believe that they will be there for you and love you in the end

“any chance that Nicholas- that Nicky- could still hear him” OH OKAY WE’RE GOING THERE THEN

OH DEAR AND HE’S THINKING ABOUT PEDALIAN TOO

Man, This guy just has so much guilt eating him up. Years and years of it :( 

And once again the narration switching from calling him “Curtain”/”Ledroptha Curtain” and then going back to Nathaniel

“He didn’t have the luxury of feeling” Oh boy this man needs more hugs

I love how Nicholas apologises for the blowdart. It’s so sincere and kind, because most people would forget about it. The audience kind of forgets about it. But here he is, admitting that he’s sorry

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

CURTAIN REDEMPTION

AKJFHDSJHDKJDJSD WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU WROTE IT SO GOOD

SCREAMING

I’M GIVING YOU A BOUQUET OF FLOWERS

(Which, unfortunately, you don’t seem to have any vases for…)

Erika!!

“She might not agree with her mother but, they were family. And they stood up for each other.”

ASKJFBKJDFJDF YEAH

I’m making snowflakes out of all the paper towels in your house

Ohh nooo. Here comes the Jackson and Jillson part.

I feel so bad for them…

And, to a lesser extent, poor Jeepers

AND HE PROMISES TO FIX THINGS. EVEN WHEN NICHOLAS ISN’T IN THE ROOM. HOH YEAH I AM LOVING HOW YOU WRITE REDEEMED NATHANIEL BODS.

I really like his perspective on the kids’ comments adsjafsd

“Unconventional, but true” should be their catchphrase at this point, honestly /j

Constance perspective!!! So happy, so excited about this

Oh. Nathaniel wants to be hugged too. He wants to be included in the family.

And he took the Worldview Wash so politely! He’s getting better at this stuff :D 

Madame Chops and the alpaca. The true main characters of S.O.S. /j /silly

NOOOOOOO

He’s all on his own again :( 

This is like the fifth time, Bods. Just let the man have his family back! /j /s

THE ALPACA

Curtain and Nicholas both bribe people aakdjfjkas It’s a family trait

WHAT

S C R E A M I NG

Help???? FIre alarms??? SOMETHING???

Ooh, he said “please”

Rhonda being like "You can come in. I'm not saying anyone will like it. But you can come in"

AND THE END!!!! WE ARE OFFICIALLY IN SEASON 3 TERRITORY MY FRIENDS!!!!!!!! WHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Bods, you are truly spectacular. Just. One of the most amazing people I've ever had the privilege to read the writing of. I hope you're doing well. I'm gnawing off all your doorknobs. Have a super day <3

A Clash of Kings - 57 SANSA V (pages 733-739)

Sansa prays before joining the women in Maegor's Holdfast, while outside the city, the fighting has begun.

-

Joffrey drew his sword. The pommel was a ruby cut in the shape of a heart, set between a lion's jaws. Three fullers were deeply incised in the blade. "My new sword, Hearteater."

he doesn't deserve that sword, give it to meee- hang on... Isn't his new sword... well who owns Widow's Wail then? The Valyrian sword made from half of Ice?

brb, wiki... Ahhhh, too early for Widow's Wail. That comes later, I got my timeline twirled. ... he still doesn't deserve that sword and they should give it to meeeeeee. should have called it Lionheart, for the punception. It has a lion with a heart in it's mouth, Lionheart is the nickname of one of the King Richards, and Joffrey is a dick. It all lines up. (If that last part confused you, 'Dick' is the nickname for 'Richard.') It all lines up!

"They say my brother Robb always goes where the fighting is thickest," she said recklessly. "Though he's older than Your Grace, to be sure. A man grown." That made him frown. (...) He wheeled his horse about and spurred towards the gate.

!!!!!!! YASSSSs, oh, burn. Subtle, and (more importantly) she got away with it~ Recklessly is right. But I suppose with the weight of the impending army looming over them, now was the time for slights and needling, cause he's too busy imagining how awesome he is(n't) going to be. ... as long as he doesn't remember it later, after he major fails...

No, but it probably does help that Joffrey's being sent to 'man 'command' a particular part of the war effort where he won't be in as much danger without it being obvious he's being kept in the safety box, so his ego isn't as much on the line.

It's interesting how the line changed between show and book, iirc Sansa pulled the "and he's only a pretender" in the show, not just saying Joffrey's young and inexperienced (an absolute baby, whiny child n00b) but actively/backhandedly mocking his legitimacy. Provoking him to go fight in the thick of it (and perish). Which would have been far more dangerous to say, if they'd left show Joffrey as unhinged as book Joffrey.

Sansa knew most of the hymns, and followed along on those she did not as best she could. She sang along with grizzled old serving men and anxious young wives, with serving girls and soldiers, cooks and falconers, knights and knaves, squires and spit boys and nursing mothers. She sang with those inside the castle and those without, she sang with all the city. She sang for mercy, for the living and the dead alike, for Bran and Rickon and Robb, for her sister Arya and her bastard brother Jon Snow, away off on the Wall. She sung for her mother and her father, for her grandfather Lord Hoster and her uncle Edmure Tully, for her friend Jeyne Poole, for old drunk king Robert, for Septa Mordane and Ser Dontos and Jory Cassel and Maester Luwin, for all the brave knights and soldiers who would die today and for the children and wives who would mourn them, and finally, toward the end, she even sang for Tyrion the Imp and for the Hound.

Anyone still making arguments that Sansa remains classist, selfish, uncaring and unsympathetic for the duration of the story, and can't understand any of the horrors of war because she was being coddled and had a flush ride through the whole war/story, can take their arguments, and shove them so far up their own ass, they puke them back out.

Sorry, that was rude of me.

I just am having feels right now, (!!!! one of which is fear! holy shit that lighting! oohhhhh Storm is here. That thunder was so loud! even through my headphones!) about how Sansa is just 'one of the masses' right now, just one of thousands who's trapped and scared and praying for help from gods who might not answer.

Still snubbed Joffrey though, nice.

... Shae continues to have zero fucks to give about Lollys' trauma or mental state. But neither does her fam.

Beaten silver mirrors backed every wall sconce, so the torches burned twice as bright; -

I would be interested to know what kind of torches, exactly. For the mirrors to be effective for any length of time they'd need to be carefully positioned so they don't get coated in smoke and ash, and the kind of torches my mind goes to when people say torches in a psuedo medieval European setting is a stick with soaked rag, which, fun fact, doesn't actually last very long. like half an hour iirc.

Would love to see these sconces (I'm a sucker for a good wall sconce), I've seen some really nice candelabra in C-Dramas, candle and oil lamp based, and they have reflective panels shaped like leaves. I need, just so many of them.

... "Ilyn Payne holding Ice" *represses urge to hiss like an umbraged cat*

My feelings on Cersei in this scene are a little complex, on the one hand, I do appreciate that she's not hiding truths from Sansa, regardless of whether Sansa is taking them on or not, on the other hand I know she's 99.99% doing it to instill fear in Sansa, likely as a way to assuage her own fear by giving her the illusion of control over something in a situation where she has none.

Ohhh, good thing this chapter was short, the lights keep flickering. Stupid storm.

OOHHHHH I have been meaning to draw these two together for a WHILE and I have FINALLY done it - Aristophanes Freling and his wife, Mhina Freling just having a moment together

In terms of lore, both of them are pretty revolutionary in the scope of... really anything concerning the partnership of human and AI. They were among the loudest advocates for MAI rights: among the first to openly display their romantic involvement with each other to set an example, among the first to legally wed, to legally have a child together, the list goes on.

Wishing these two a nice [have an exceptional life together]
