modern westeros discourse. instead of sapphic they say 'friend of rhaena' in reference to famous historical lesbian rhaena targaryen (and her many 'friends') but its problematic because Was rhaena an evil imperialist for being a targ princess? Was it ethical for her to turn her husband into dragon kibble? and if you call yourself rhaenic should you delete your blog and kill yourself? sansa is deep in the discourse (she's pro-rhaenic)
Margaery hailed them when the two columns met and fell in beside the queen's litter. Her cheeks were flushed, her brown ringlets tumbling loosely about her shoulders, stirred by every puff of wind. "We have been picking autumn flowers in the kingswood," she told them. I know where you were, the queen thought. Her informers were very good about keeping her apprised of Margaery's movements. Such a restless girl, our little queen. She seldom let more than three days pass without going off for a ride. Some days they would ride along the Rosby road to hunt for shells and eat beside the sea. Other times she would take her entourage across the river for an afternoon of hawking. The little queen was fond of going out on boats as well, sailing up and down the Blackwater Rush to no particular purpose. When she was feeling pious she would leave the castle to pray at Baelor's Sept. She gave her custom to a dozen different seamstresses, was well-known amongst the city's goldsmiths, and had even been known to visit the fish market by the Mud Gate for a look at the day's catch. Wherever she went, the smallfolk fawned on her, and Lady Margaery did all she could to fan their ardor. She was forever giving alms to beggars, buying hot pies off bakers' carts, and reining up to speak to common tradesmen. (Cersei VI, AFfC)

"You're not supposed to leave the column," Sansa reminded her. "Father said so."
Arya shrugged. "I didn't go far. Anyway, Nymeria was with me the whole time. I don't always go off, either. Sometimes it's fun just to ride along with the wagons and talk to people."
Sansa knew all about the sorts of people Arya liked to talk to: squires and grooms and serving girls, old men and naked children, rough-spoken freeriders of uncertain birth. Arya would make friends with anybody. This Mycah was the worst; a butcher's boy, thirteen and wild, he slept in the meat wagon and smelled of the slaughtering block. Just the sight of him was enough to make Sansa feel sick, but Arya seemed to prefer his company to hers. (Sansa I, AGoT)
once again who give a shit about targaryens. fuck team green fuck team black. I’ve never met anyone named aegon ii in my life. I don’t know who rhaenyra is. this episode is for feastpilled riverchads, bisexual goth girls, horse losers, those stuck in the freudian nightmare sequence maze outside the god’s eye, harrenhal curse bearers, and muppets💯💯💯
it's such a trip to remember dany's bloodriders are all teen boys. "of an age with her." rakharo only just starts getting facial hair in adwd. dany's og squad is just a bunch of skinny teenagers plus one pervy old man.
trying to find any kind of continuity in westerosi fashion is driving me insane. every man is wearing breeches and a doublet but every woman has a different kind of neckline and sleeve.
happy if i look back i am lost sunday from snoopy
listening to fiona apple's sullen girl and thinking about stannis baratheon
GYMBRO BRIENNE REAL THATS MY GIRL
