“We fought a military war; our opponents fought a political one. We sought physical attrition; our opponents aimed for our psychological exhaustion. In the process we lost sight of one of the cardinal maxims of guerrilla war: the guerrilla wins if he does not lose. The conventional army loses if it does not win. The North Vietnamese used their armed forces the way a bull-fighter uses his cape — to keep us lunging in areas of marginal political importance.”

Henry Kissinger in Foreign Affairs January 1969

probably there was already such a question. But I’ve been wondering for a while why „Armies“ is called so.

I mean there isn’t even this word in fic. What was your inspiration?

(one of the greatest fic I’ve read in this fandom)

I named it after a song called Armies by an artiist called Kaye.

Basically, I thought the lyrics rather fitting:

One word Would move you backwards and away So I won’t say what I want to say No, I’d rather Swing both my fists Watch your teeth kiss that dirty ground Did you know I keep having dreams of mine all bleeding Falling out

[Pre-Chorus] Cause you know that What terrifies me (heavy) Are the signs I can't see

[Chorus] Don’t tell me me I'll just have to wait for the gun It’s gonna go off either way So I won't wait any longer

Don't tell me I’ll just have to wait for your love I can make you my enemy But I won’t wait any longer

[Verse 2] One word You know that’s all you'd have to say Stone walls (stone walls) keep all your secrets in place

But can’t you see that Our flags fly in tatters The colors went and faded back to white But we’re both preparing for one last appearance of the armies In our minds

[Pre-Chorus] And now I can't breathe Cause you're all that I need

[Chorus] Don’t tell me me I'll just have to wait for the gun It’s gonna go off either way So I won't wait any longer

Don't tell me I’ll just have to wait for your love I can make you my enemy But I won’t wait any longer

[Bridge] I won't wait any longer

[Chorus] Don’t tell me me I'll just have to wait for the gun It’s gonna go off either way So I won't wait any longer

Don’t tell me me I'll just have to wait for the gun It’s gonna go off either way So I won't wait any longer

[Outro] I won't, I won't wait any longer I won't, I won't wait any longer I won't, I won't wait any longer I won't, I won't wait any longer

A Game of Thrones, Catelyn IV

High overhead, the far-eyes sang out from the rigging. Captain Moreo came scrambling across the deck, giving orders, and all around them the Storm Dancer burst into frenetic activity as King’s Landing slid into view atop its three high hills.

Three hundred years ago, Catelyn knew, those heights had been covered with forest, and only a handful of fisherfolk had lived on the north shore of the Blackwater Rush where that deep, swift river flowed into the sea.

Then Aegon the Conqueror had sailed from Dragonstone.

It was here that his army had put ashore, and there on the highest hill that he built his first crude redoubt of wood and earth.

Now the city covered the shore as far as Catelyn could see; manses and arbors and granaries, brick storehouses and timbered inns and merchant’s stalls, taverns and graveyards and brothels, all piled one on another. She could hear the clamor of the fish market even at this distance.

Between the buildings were broad roads lined with trees, wandering crookback streets, and alleys so narrow that two men could not walk abreast.

Reading this vanity fair interview

Every new detail is making me like, cry with joy

[akgaereporter]

armies/sleepers: newly debuted 'tae lookalike' posts selcas & some army’s reactions are kinda..??

tldr: newly debuted boygroup member posts pics on twt, bc he looks like tae armies find it & start being weird af in the replies n qrts..🤕

ouu they gone get me..

so this guy is kwonhyeop from the bg waker. he was in pd101 and debuted 2 weeks ago, but was already getting attention predebut for looking like tae:

then he posted these pics:

and armies found it, but the reactions it got are so??🤥 why are we talking abt this man like he isnt a real person who sees these things..??

some people clocked it but the damage has been done, theyre about to ratio the poor guy🤕

☆ my opinion

well lets not lie and say they dont look similar. once you look at him long enough the differences become clearer, but at certain angles and when u see him for the first time, the resemblance is def strong. but that does NAWT excuse all this bullshit.. the military comments are so silly when u think about why and how bts are enlisting like they literally insisted on going when they couldve been exempted at any time of day. “tae really needs an exemption from the military” girl LMFAO the man wants to serve so let him. tae would fight this man to be where hes at rn so can yall please stop w these tired, ran thru, unfunny jokes that not even bts would chuckle at.. nobody but u & ur corny followers are giggling like plz let it rest.

but back to the guy, u can tell that’s just his face, however he or his company may be styling his hair/eye makeup to look more like tae. hes their debut mv thumbnail & seems to be the fotg.. i dont put anything past these small companies & u can lowkey see this strategy is working, bc their followers have gone up since yesterday. some armies desperately missing V oppa😣💔 may actually tune into him bc of this. & good for him, i'm sure he's a great guy, i just hope it’s his choice if he’s being marketed this way..

if it is a marketing tactic then this kind of reaction should've been expected. but im still kinda baffled at why some armies are acting like this is a bad thing bc.. why are yall demonizing & harassing people who are showing your fav’s impact?? if u were an idol who kinda looked like such a successful person in the same field, why wouldnt u capitalize off it..?? especially in such an appearance oriented industry, he’s kinda real for that. these reactions just show they dont view him as an actual person like this is not something to get evil over🤥 theyre acting like he said fuck taehyung and his momma in that tweet i SWEAR its not that srs. tae is fine, this man is fine, everyone's fine lets be calm

anyways their debut album is pretty good ! tune in here :

not done listening but spirit & dash ate

Essential NPCs: Soldiers

[dancinginthemoonlight-xx]

blurb #01

action, oc, what am i doing with my life, yeah that’s it

he stared at the oncoming army.

cassandra had been right. the army was huge. a ripple of fear went through the western front, the distinct sound of a shield being dropped to the ground echoing dismally.

“hold your lines!” astrid barked, her mahogany eyes mirroring the dismay in leios’s. her poise upon her horse slackened slightly as more of the enemy joined from the forest, the army slowly filling up half the battle plain. already, spears and shields clacked together behind her. the soldiers were panicking.

and so were the twin generals.

leios leaned towards astrid, his gaze fixed on the plains beyond.

“are you good at fighting?”

she smirked.

“define good.”

she readied her bow, a flaming arrow nocked in the wooden crescent, embellished with their house crest. the flames lapped at her fingers, blistering the porcelain skin.

astrid narrowed her eyes, defiant gaze unwavering.

“should you take first shot, or should i have the pleasure?”

her brother laughed. “i’ll blow the horn.”

the army of kjyn behind the twin generals decided they had never seen anything as beautiful as a lone, burning arrow soar across the sky as the sound of a hunting horn pierced the still air and the twang that filled the air of hundreds and thousands of burning arrows being fired.

a storm of flame ascended from the heavens towards the enemy. those who were slaughtered by the hellfire, astrid had later remarked, died a noble, quick, death. compared to what their army was going to do to them for killing their children and raping their wives.

“arrowhead!” leios roared.

kjyn became a weapon of destruction as they sharpened themselves, the toned warriors bellowing as they killed— every slash they made was for their kingdom. for their loved. and for their lives.

and the twins laughed as they rode across the enemy on their snow white horses, the flanks flecked with blood.

whoever crossed them? well, that would be the worst and final decision of their lives.

lady justice didn’t stop exerting her wrath until dusk.
