Don’t Know If I Trust The Way Christopher Nolan Writes Women For Him To Be Allowed To Tackle Anything

I think the thing that’s really striking about the got books as opposed to the show is the way Martin never shies away from how physically damaged everyone is left. In the show Tyrion gets a badass scar but in the books he looses half his nose, Briennes teeth are broken and a chunk of her face is literally bitten out. Theon looks like an old man, his body is completely wrecked -

But they’re still not beyond hope. Their stories don’t finish with the horrible things that happen to them, their scars and deformities, they go on, and it’s not pretty and tragic and romantic like a story

And that’s the whole point.

Every single book in the series makes a point about how violence and war is romanticised in literature and history and Martin makes his character a living testament to the reality of war, the ugliness, the trauma, and that depth is just another thing that got glossed over in the show where people stay pretty and everything that made the books special is watered down.

Let your characters be ugly. Let them get hurt. Let them be scarred, and watch them get up anyway.

Every conversation in 1899

Persona A: monologues about identity and the nature of reality and if anything is real and what is god and is our existence purposeful if we’re pursuing a life that is not truly our own

Person B: *nods in dutch

I love that Adam ruins everything has just slowly evolved into Adam explains how capitalism is a human meat grinder into which we are all slowly falling

Not seeing nearly enough appreciation for the pure excellence that was 24/7

I mean the entire cast was just incredible and it basically stands on its own as a short film.

You get so invested in these peoples stories and the atmosphere is so tense and chaotic, and John Dee is just chilling

Even if he is just a smol guy in the corner eating his ice cream whilst everyone else is getting laid😂

Diversity win! The terrifying witch chasing you through the multiverse is a milf

You will not use AI to get ideas for your story. You will lie on the floor and have wretched visions like god intended

I am forever in love with the fact that in buffy the vampire slayer they present vampires as these sexy degenerate creatures but then their faces morph into something that looks like a gargoyle made love to Voldemort and I think that is just 👌 perfection

This has definitely been pitched before, but petition for a remake of les miserables where everyone is a muppet except Javert

Show Jaime:

“I know I just slept with Brienne who I have a deep attachment to, and I’m about six seasons deep into a redemption arch but Ima peace out and get crushed by rocks with my sister wife”

Book Jaime literally in the middle of reading a letter from Cersei begging him to come and save her:

“I wonder what brienne is doing right now”

Yellowjackets Prediction:

Antler Queen/Final Boss is Tai

I feel like this makes perfect sense and is not talked about at all. Tai’s dark persona taking over is really being hinted at this season and it makes sense that the girls will go for that after Shauna (inevitably) goes off the rails and ruins their chance to go home.

It’s even hinted at in the final image of the title sequence plus the wilderness is always giving her stuff (Van getting better, Tai is the most successful of all the girls to come home). I feel like the creepy man she sees everywhere is this dark persona that takes over her and the show is building up to her finally giving in to it.
