Interviewer: Let's talk about Lord Stark. At first he appears to be a classic hero, the Heinlein-style competent man. He's the guy who knows how to do things, but eventually he screws up. He underestimates the enemy. Your heroes make mistakes too.
George: Yes, they do. Stark is a character who is very concerned about his honor. He's a good man and an honorable man, but in some ways that is a drawback. He's in his element when he's in his own land, the North, where he rules as almost a king without a crown. He's not in his element in the pit of political intrigue and infighting and the complex network of alliances and betrayals that's going on at King's Landing. But history is full of people like that, honorable men who wanted to do right, but weren't quite up to it. That doesn't necessarily mean they were stupid, sometimes the very virtues that we admire in men make them less able to be politically astute.
Humility must be the measure of a man whose success was bought with the blood of his subordinates, and paid for with the lives of his friends.

From Prince to Firelord, from finding honour in a fight to finding trust in a friend.
Zuko is such a high quality character.
Don't get me wrong, all the characters in avatar the last airbender had great stories, but non that had such an emotional rollercoaster written as Zuko had.
He's like a turtle duck. If that turtle duck wanted to attack you but only holds itself back because of their uncle.
usually I'm a person who posts absolutely nothing on social media. And I am constantly like: "protect your data!" "Online security!" But Tumblr is different... Idk why but on here there's absolutely nothing to lose. Honour? I am on Tumblr, there wasn't much of that to start with
a guy I haven’t met yet but been talking to long distance for a while now sent me a text saying “Babe I was kinda thinking of us rn in a different way and I want to show you how excited I got but don’t want you to feel disrespected” idk what to say or think honestly? I haven’t sent him nudes he hasn’t sent me anything we both have the intention of getting to know each other, a relationship and our conversations and how he is has been good . What do you think? Is this a red flag?
Hey sweetie, great question. Personally I feel like he is unconsciously testing you. He is even suggesting its disrespect so why fall for the bait? You have two options to accept what he feels could be disrespect and what you also are uncomfortable with, or you can go along with his suggested behaviour potentially going against what you feel is not right. Do I feel like this is a red flag? Not necessarily, but do I think he is testing the waters to see if you are sexually open to taking the conversation to a place you are not particularly comfortable with. You can be playful and politely let him know its a no, or you can be stern. Whatever works for you, my advice would be to honour your no. This means what feels off for you in your body, even if it offends, even if goes against what every other woman is doing you honour yourself. xoxoxo
