I must say - respectfully and enviously- that people hoping for a season 2 of the ones who live are way more optimistic and trusting than I am lmao like I can't even bring myself to assume they're both making it out of these six episodes alive. and if they do, more seasons just means more opportunities for them to be killed off on The Show That Kills People and tbh that's too much stress for me!! "but plot armor!" you say. gestures to carl grimes. "andy and danai wouldn't do that" you say. well I hope not but I don't know them! personally I have to assume the worst in order to be prepared for it and I do hope that I'm being paranoid for no reason! in fact, I would love nothing more than for people to tell me exactly why I'm being crazy but I did watch 8.5 seasons of the walking dead so my trust issues are warranted I think!!! and in fact I I've never been more terrified of a season finale in my life send help

bitching abt my partner again so i can get it out of my system and not let it fester
had a Discussion yesterday and i said how i didn't like that i, someone who naturally wakes up early and has to go to bed around 11-midnight to get decent sleep, have been spending the last few months either sleep deprived or forced to use sleeping pills to sleep, when he sleeps in til fucking noon, even on the two days we both have off and can, yk, spend time doing things in the morning together, and then he complains that we never do anything outside (bc we live in florida. anything after noon is just a fucking sauna.)
anyways. i ask if he can start waking up earlier. he says he'll wake up at 10 today. i go, ok, thank you, but what does that prove? that you can do it once? i've been changing my schedule for months. i want to hear that you'll try to do it consistently. (And 10 isn't early anyways, but i didn't say that). he insists he's going to do it. makes sure i see him set an alarm in front of me and everything. so anyways. 10:01 i get a text that he's going to sleep a little more.
man.

not to be a GoT/ASoIaF meta writer but I'm re-watching the first season and re-reading A Clash of Kings and its occurring to me something something patriarchy something something society but anyway its just really interesting to me how Catelyn (and also Sansa at the beginning) are very good at working within the rules and social mores of their society
of course, we see examples of women who struggle to fit within the rigid definition of "womanhood" that Westeros demands (Arya, Brienne, even Cersei to an extent) whereas Catelyn and Sansa, while clearly finding the limits within their roles (thinking about Catelyn's "I did my duty all my life" monologue), still manage to perform and excel in it. And idk where I'm going with this but I think it's really interesting how Catelyn and Sansa get a lot of hate thrown at them, when in reality it's less about them as people and more about the society that is pointing at them and saying "performing womanhood like Catelyn and Sansa is the only acceptable way"
Arya and Brienne actively rebel against a world that is telling them to be one thing when internally they'd rather be something else. Sansa and Catelyn don't feel the same discomfort, it's easier for them to "fit in", and they do benefit but it's not a character fault.

me, reading the reviews for Brainwyrms: hmm most of these people talk about how disgusting this novel is at times and how it made them want to hurl. Ah, I'm sure they're just exaggerating
