send a number to my inbox and i’ll write a drabble using that dialogue

15. “You watched 4 seasons today?”

“Why are you still awake?” He asked, rubbing his eyes at the intruding light from the screen.

“I just started season 4,” she replied, not tearing her eyes away from the tv.

“Season 4?” Gendry frowned in confusion, before his mouth dropped. “You watched 4 seasons today?” 

Arya nodded. “It’s a really good show.”

“It’s four in the morning, Arya, you need to come to bed,” Gendry sighed, cautiously stepping closer to her. He was sure she’d been in the exact same position as she had been all day - curled up under a blanket, wearing his old t-shirt that was far too big on her, Nymeria protectively laying at her feet.

She did this a lot these days - find any reason to do anything other than sleep. Anything to keep herself awake, stop herself from closing her eyes. He knew that she’d had trouble sleeping - and she knew the things that filled her mind during her rest were far from dreams - but he couldn’t see how forcing herself to stay awake was going to help. 

“I’m fine, Gendry,” she sighed, sounding so deflated, so unlike her. There was nothing he could do, he couldn’t bring her family back, couldn’t put an end to the horror she was going through. It killed him. “I don’t want to go to bed.”

He knew she wasn’t ready to talk about it. Maybe she never would be. He also knew that if he pushed her, it would only make things worse.

So instead, he moved to sit down next to her on the sofa, putting an arm around her shoulders. He had no idea what he was watching - especially missing four seasons of backstory.

It was an hour later as the credits rolled on the last episode, as she laid with her head on his lap, his fingers gently running through her messy hair, that he’d realised she’d finally fallen asleep. 

Knowing that falling asleep was only half the fight, knowing how many times he’d had to shake her awake or hold her as she realised it was just another nightmare, he didn’t move from the sofa for the rest of the night. Or the morning, until she woke up with a jolt at 10 o’clock.

Then, once she was awake and settled, he only moved to make her favourite pancakes. 

“I’m sorry,” she’d sighed, so quietly he’d barely heard it.

“You have absolutely nothing to be sorry for,” he stroked the back of her hand, leaning over to gently kiss her temple. “Now are we starting season five or what?”

She smiled and he knew she would talk to him eventually. She had all the time in the world.

hope this isn't a bother, but do you guys know if there are any other major finnrey-centered blogs?

it’s no problem at all! some finnrey-specific blogs are: @finnreyfridays, @thescavengerandthestormtrooper, @reys-finn, @peanutfinnrey, @finnreyplanet, @finnsreyofhope, @finnreydaily, and if you’re just looking for fics: @finnreyfics or @ao3feed-jedistorm!

there’s also a lot of fans who post a lot of finnrey but are multi-fandom/post other star wars related things i believe: @vaderey, @leg-grestrade, @saltylikecrait, @the-bi-writer, @lj-writes and there are lots more but these are just the first that came to my mind :)

so admittingly I don't know much about springsteen but your top 5/10 springsteen songs and why?

WELL THEN HERE WE GO (sorry this required a long answer) (also if I start going like ‘this is it bUT IN THIS VERSION NOT IN THAT ONE it’s because actually he has wildly different version of the same song XDDD)

*cough* *drum roll* videos for the first five + links for the others as usual xD

one: the ghost of tom joad

I once ranted about this specific song in detail so here if anyone’s interested, but: it took me years to decide on which one was my favorite overall but then I went for tom joad because it has all. it’s a heartbreaking song that updates one of my favorite ever novels (the grapes of wrath) to current days situations and guys I swear to god the fact that he put to music tom’s speech to his mother in the novel at the end after rehashing the themes in a new light in the rest of it killed me and I want it tattooed, so. tom joad now and always thanks guys. I love this damned song to levels that are embarrassing as hell.

two: no surrender (in the live 75-85 version)

so: no surrender is originally on born in the usa and actually it’s my favorite song from that record regardless - like, it opens side two and I remember that the first time I heard it was on a tape a friend’s dad (haha) had lent me bc he knew I was into bruce and he was too and I turned it to the second side of the tape and played it and I was like holy crap this is it but then I heard the acoustic live version from the following tour and guys. guys. if you ever had friends you fell out of touch with but still remember fondly and/or friendships you know that even if you don’t talk for a while you’ll always be close when you meet again this is.. just… idk it hit me like a punch in the stomach and it never left. I cried every single time he played it live when I went to see him. no regrets. I love this song sfm and the melancholy in the acoustic version just destroys me.

three: for you (acoustic piano version)

I 100% realize this is probably a weird choice for top three, but: this was on his first album and the version on there is pretty damned good - it’s about a guy whose girlfriend tries to commit suicide and reminesces about their relationship - and you’d go like why, but: first of all he has some of his best lines in this (my electric surges free I just sdgsldjl) and the entire last stanza where he goes from where I found you broken at the beach to the end is just a knife into your heart, but this goddamned version here just goes and tears your heart out and stomps on it and I swear if there is one thing I want from bruce is that he plays this in front of me next time I see him live because for now I never managed and just - the slow piano kills me. I love it. the fact that when I asked brian fallon in a tumblr q&a his fave bruce song and he said this specific one just confirmed he’s a true intellectual. ;)

four: drive all night

or: this is the love song. I just. the first time I heard this I fell off the chair or something and it was the studio version which is nowhere near as heartfelt as the live versions and I swear it’s just - it has very lovely lyrics that perfectly balance melancholy and hopeful and don’t make it saccharine, the fucking sax solo destroys me every single goddamned time I hear it and when you get to the end and he says that she has his love heart and soul it’s The Most Heartfelt Thing I Have Ever Heard In My Life Or Close To It and I just, I love drive all night with every inch of my atoms, bye.

five: badlands

I ranted about this extensively yesterday here so I refer you to it for long rant about it, but tldr: this was actually the first bruce song I ever heard knowing it was by bruce - it wasn’t what got me on that train but it still was the first and like… I didn’t understand it for a long time bc my first run-in with bruce was a hit and miss but then I did and like, this song is basically quintessential bruce because it has all his themes rolled up into one, all the good stuff, everything that is good about his music and most of all live it’s a goddamned religious experience. 

so, that was for the top five, but top ten…

six: youngstown (click here for full rant from last year) which was a hard choice but this damned song slays me whether acoustic or electric and I love his use of language and how he built it and how he teaches you things in five minutes pretty much and how the music/mood matches the words in both versions and seems to mean different approaches but still doesn’t change the core of it, and is2g the last two lines and the second stanza and the line he recycled from the mahardige book he inspired himself with when he wrote this are just goddamned out of this world and like this one raised the ladder for years but I just, love it to pieces

seven: rosalita (come out tonight), or: bruce does serious and politics incredibly well but this one is just a delight from beginning to end, it’s fun, I could listen to it for a month without getting tired, it always puts a smile on my face and the entire last part where he tells her to inform her dad he has a record company now so no reason to hate that his daughter is with a moneyless musician is just… so… lovely and fun and lighthearted and I just really love this song a lot ;;

eight: highway patrolman or, there’s no way a top ten bruce songs has no nebraska material from me because nebraska Is A Damn Masterpiece and this one’s my fave off it, but tldr: the utter, absolute way this thing slays you with just voice and guitar and the way he makes you feel about the cop who ends up letting his brother with ptsd from vietnam escape after he accidentally kills someone is out of this world and I just, this one really has a way to make you empathize with the narrator and my heart ;_; (also the movie they made from it which is in that video is really good k viggo mortensen playing the brother with ptsd isn’t leaving me anytime soon)

nine: thunder road (rant attached to the link) or: this one is short and sweet but honest, it’s not The Definitive Love Song To Me just bc drive all night exists. this damned song is a masterpiece in itself. it’s flawless. it has the crescendo, it has the fact that at whichever moment in his life he sings it it works, ‘it’s a town full of losers and I’m pulling out of here to win’ is the most iconic line that ever ended a song or close to it and it’s exactly the kinda love song you wanna hear if you want realistic love song material and just, legendary. okay? legendary.

ten: american skin (41 shots), or: this actually is what got me into springsteen bc I borrowed the live album it was published on originally after my first try with darkness went so-so, I listened to it and was like ‘okay yeah he’s good’, then I got to this one and went like ‘wait a fucking moment this isn’t just good’ (count that I was twelve and understood maybe 1/5th in the english songs I heard), I actually looked it up, went like woah wait aaand listened to it for two weeks straight, bought the record, translated everything by hand, started reading about what the fuck was wrong with the circumstances for which it was written and here I am twenty years later dying over bruce and having been introduced thanks to him to 80% of his country’s societal issues or I’d have had no idea that early in my life. anyway: other than the sentimental value, it’s honestly out of this world good and the live version just nailed it way better than the studio that was released years later and I love bruce a lot, k? k.

thanks for letting me rant ;)

We....

I...

We...

It...

The whole tunnel system where The Incest Twins died was shown...on screen....literally collapsing all around them. It was not inferred. We didn't assume that's what happened. We didn't hear from a third party that this is what happened. They showed it to us. So we could see it. With our own fucking eyes. The images they presented us with made a point to prove that they died because they supposedly had nowhere else to go but...BUT...HOLD THE PHONE...not only was that not true and the entire upstairs is for the most part very much standing but Tyrion is CALMLY WALKING AROUND IN WIDE OPEN TUNNELS AND THERE'S MAYBE LIKE A HALF A FINGER HIGH PILE OF LITTLE ROCKS "BURYING" THE SIBLINGS HE SO EASILY FOUND

I wasted a whole ass third of my life on this show. Can you fucking believe?

unpopular opinions + got

oof, i’m gonna get hate for this.

dany’s mad queen storyline was poorly executed, like awfully executed, but made sense. i’d seen dark!dany emerging for a long time now, so it didn’t really surprise me. daenerys started as a good, innocent girl, but was raised with the targ values, and it showed. she said she wanted to break the wheel, but her claim to the iron throne depended solely on her targ heritage. she always relied on fear (specifically her dragons) to get what she wanted and that doesn’t make for a great ruler, like the show told us multiple times (also, “any man who must say I am the king, is no true king” + dany constantly saying she’s a queen?) also, she was never a queen, but a conqueror, like daario said. her rule over mereen was catastrophic and she left it in shambles to go after the iron throne. she was never meant to sit on the iron throne, or be a good queen for that matter.

also the whole “white girl saves poc” thing was kind of racist

also idk if that’s an unpopular opinion but jaime going back to cersei (after FINALLY freeing himself of her in the season 7 finale and the show making such a big deal of that??) made no sense and was fucking stupid

hang with me!

as long as they don't use jld (2018) as the primary source, we're good

I read the first 3 issues of that one and I’ve only skimmed the rest. I don’t understand why Diana is the main character when Zee is right there?!

send a number to my inbox and i’ll write a drabble using that dialogue

107. “This house isn’t even haunted.”

“Don’t be a baby, this house isn’t even haunted,” Arya spoke confidently, almost in boredom, switching on her phone’s torch and holding it up in front of her.

“The story is called The Ghost of Harrenhal, Arry,” Hot Pie whispered, as if he was scared the damn ghosts would overhear him. “They say it used to be a castle, way back in the olden days, and the guards would torture people just for fun.”

Gendry sighed from his place behind them. Why he let her drag him into this every year was beyond him. There was no way in all Seven Hells he’d be here if he wasn’t so in love with her.

Every single October, a week before Halloween because the actual night of October 31st had just become too over commercialized for Arya - or more importantly, she knew it would freak out Hot Pie more if they were alone.

“Go home if you’re scared.”

“I’m not scared,” Hot Pie said, very clearly scared. “Just sayin’ the story, that’s all.”

“The story is that dragons melted the castle down and sometimes you can still smell the dead bodies,” Arya said matter of factly, turning around to face the two boys with a grin on her face. “Sometimes, dead in the middle of the night, you can still hear the prisoners crying.”

She could be terrifying when she wanted to be, he’d give her that. She could make a career out of it.

“I can’t smell nothing,” Hot Pie said, though it sounded more to Gendry like he was trying to convince himself. “Or hear nothing.”

She led them up the staircase, each step creaking painfully as they climbed them. As soon as they reached the top step, Arya let out a cry (which Gendry instantly recognised as exaggerated) as something ran past their feet.

“It was just a mouse, Hot Pie,” Gendry rushed to say.

“It wasn’t a mouse, it was a rat! It was massive. You know what the story says about the rats!” Hot Pie was already half way down the stairs before he’d finished his sentence.

“Did I got too far again?” Arya asked, biting her lip. 

“Probably not as far as the time you took us to an abandoned inn and told him they used to cook people into pies.”

“Oh, seriously? That wasn’t even scary.”

Gendry shook his head, reaching for Arya’s hand. “Come on, before he convinces himself he’s seen a couple of knights battling it out in the garden.”

this is so true tho

jlannister ha risposto al tuo post “I've just seen a post like "calling female characters Mary Sues just...”

the whole "mary sue is innately bad" discussion is so bad and idk why people die on the hill that conflict = bad always

word, I mean... it’s not innately bad but people don’t have to like them either like let teenage girls write what they want and let people who aren’t interested in that type of fantasy be into other things

[fratboykate]

Any scene that makes Dany look like the imbecile she is will always be my favorite scene so that opening was 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
