sending love to all of my US friends who are spending time with family today–especially if the relationship you have with said family is complicated. you are loved and deserve to be happy. the way your biological family treats you does not determine your worth. you always deserve love. you always deserve happiness.

realistically, i probably shouldve known that reading fire and blood would just make me not like hotd, even with how little i knew about the changes from asoif to game of thrones
my biggest issues are the sheer amount of violence against women solely to build the character of the men assaulting them. not to show how the women in these stories have suffered, not for the women to overcome, not for the conversation to be focused on the women that were harmed, only to show you the character of the men in the show, and most times these men are given a pass.
not only are these instances just passingly brought up, but the show has done such a bad job at portraying these moments as the worst of the worst (especially when i comes to alicent, because why tf are there so many people that truly believe that she “seduced” him, and that hes the real victim)

Idk if this is Only me whos notices it but something that sucks about being fat or chubby n afab in gen or generally fem presenting is that it really feels like ur not allowed to make jokes about it. Like idk man fat guys n masc presenting ppl seem 2 be allowed to make a lot more lighthearted jokes about it then fat ladies or feminine presentin ppl n its like ur Just supposed to sit there n hate the way ur body looks with nothing to break it up like ur not allowed to cope with humor or anything cuz it just seems weird for us in specific to do it. No shame to fat dudes/masc ppl here cuz like they all deserve the world too n have a Unique set of challenges with this but like. Idk this specific one it just feels like its More shameful for us in specific to cope thru humor/poke fun at a general part of ourselves
