Catelyn : So there are these two guys who are in love with me. There is one that my little sister is in love with, and the other I prefer his brother. So my crush has like 200 crushes (no seriously this guy is attracted to everyone) and he has a best friend who is like simp a little for my crush's sister. Except that my crush's sister really likes the little cousin of my crush's best friend, and it's mutual. Except that the little cousin of my crush's best friend is already married to a girl and this girl has a crush on the little brother of my crush's best friend and her best friend has a crush on my crush. So it obviously becomes a little complicated.
Brynden : Yeah I understand.
Hoster : HOW ??
When I grow up I wanna be upper middle class.
i dont see why i cant start a trend, so here goes. lets try to build back our attention spans. lets try to focus on just one thing for as long as possible. lets not watch those "asmr for people with adhd" videos where they fuck up adhd folks even worse. lets resist the urge to reach for our phones when watching a movie. lets read the articles we reblog, even when theyre boring. i know its hard, i have adhd too, but its worth it. i also know that this hard work doesnt always seem super impressive to other people, so id love for yall to tell me in the tags or replies if youve done something, no matter how small, for your attention span. you deserve to feel like youve taken back some of what social media has ripped from you

But he's so much quieter about it than trump!
No but thanks for pointing that out. It makes sense, American left is still far right, but I still didn't really clock it.
Though I still think trump would be worse. Are there third options in America? Or are you voting trump? (are you American?)
alright gang, let's do a fun little thought experiment.
for the sake of this thought experiment, let's ignore actual real-world alliances between countries. it can be london, or paris, or athens, or barcelona, or rome, or berlin, or even an american city like new york or new orleans or los angeles or honolulu. this is all a hypothetical after all.
really consider it. if you're gonna bother to yap in my notes, at least try to engage with this question in good faith. imagine opening up the news, and you see that a bomb was dropped on this city, and then the bombs never stop. imagine you had a friend there. imagine you'd had a trip planned to meet them and see the sights. imagine every museum, every historical monument, every theatre, every university destroyed. imagine that one day, you lived in a world where this city existed, and the next, it has completely ceased to be. it's effectively been pompeii-ed out of our world entirely. there is no longer a big ben, or a parthenon, or a colosseum, or what have you. there is no longer that foreign musician you loved from this city. there are no longer sweet old grannies to share old family recipes from this part of the world. there is no longer the online friend you wanted to visit. there is no longer your vacation plans.
don't hit me with, "but it's netanyahu doing this," because israel would literally run out of ammunition in weeks without the US. don't hit me with, "but trump!" because that quite literally is not the fucking question.
which city has to completely cease to exist before you even consider that this system isn't ever going to work?
if you are still planning to vote for biden, then either a) biden could drop a nuke on any city on earth and it wouldn't be a dealbreaker for you, or b) in your mind, people and places are divided into ones that are acceptable to destroy and ones that are not. or at least, there are ones that are more acceptable to destroy than others.
come up with your answer and either realize you sound like a fascist and work to change it, or embrace that you are a fascist and stop lying to us about caring about people of color.
The woobification of Rhaegar Targaryen from the fandom really does need to be studied - that grown ass fictional man and crown prince apparently can’t be blamed for anything. He is at fault for nothing. His canonical actions that contributed to the loss of thousands of lives can’t be acknowledged.
It’s especially wild when characters younger than Rhaegar are held to impossible standards- Jaime Lannister is constantly to blame despite being years younger than Rhaegar and a glorified hostage.
Sansa Stark is constantly being hated on by the same people who defend Rhaegar uwu Targaryen’s actions despite being far younger than Rhaegar. She is afforded no grace or understanding. I do have to wonder why is it her gender or the lack of silver hair?
Elia of Dorne & Lyanna Stark are constantly dragged through the dirt because don’t you know neither character has real fans it’s all just a conspiracy to hate poor little baby Rhaegar 🥺
