This was like a billion posts ago but the Cersei posting just got me thinking. I love her chapters because she is full crazy like yes girl the maids are shrinking all your dresses! (I’m sorry but I’m a Cersei is pregnant with kettleblack spawn TRUTHER why else would grrm be like btw the last time Jaime and Cersei fucked she was on her period also dress shrinking and she gets an egg for breakfast to settle her stomach and it has a dead malformed chick in it) but her chapters can just be such a gut punch at the most unexpected moments. I’ll be cheering going yes girl give your rhaegar look alike all your money for ships and then she’ll be having some internalized misogyny thought that makes you realize that she never talks about Robert raping her because she thinks that was a moment of her weakness and then I’m weeping and pulling my hair out
its why i cant get into f&b because none of the female characters get the rollercoaster ride of cersei lannister! no one gets to be as evil and pitiful and cruel and cunning and insightful and delusional and just. Human. as cersei. you dont get to experience the epic highs and lows of seeing cersei as this evil queen, and then seeing her as the bitter emotionally stunted manchild, then as the torn down creature, then as the medusa full of spite and vengeance and pride. you see her struggle to make sense of a world that has no words for what she is; whether that be mental illness, classism, patriarchy, or internalised misogyny, or even gender identity. and she DOES try! she tries desperately to make this world her own, to have a control over her life, control which she is denied continuously. and you KNOW she's a great villain because therapy and medication wouldnt fix her.they would just give her new words to use as bait and fodder. she isnt just dumb or cruel or vain. she's CUNT!!!! charisma uniqueness nerve and TALENT!!!!!

Silverwing is so beautiful. It’s clear that Alysanne took real good care of her.
