I noticed earlier that Tyrion often thinks of Tommen and Myrcella, who he is very fond of, as Jaime’s children, but never Joffrey who is in Tyrion’s narration Cersei’s son only. Until the moment he is dying and then all of a sudden he has Jaime’s eyes.

again, the Catelyn/Cersei parallels. also thinking many thoughts about how Tyrion thinks he should run away but instead he goes towards Cersei, like he wants to comfort her, and then of course she accuses him instead.

"So essentially what Star Wars to me was, a boy who is stuck at home and dreams of joining a war. And so it's like, let's tell a story of a girl who is stuck in a war and dreams of going home. It was like a mirror." - Gareth Edwards, 2023

#they invented romance and being married

kevan pov is soo crazy bc it’s like. he’s the best and kindest lannister he loves his wife and family and gives cold messenger boys pennies. but he also made his niece whom he loves walk naked and bald through king’s landing to be abused by everyone in the city and he thought that was the right thing to do for her. and in his pov you can see how all of this cognitive dissonance is creaking at the seams because he has to reassure himself every three paragraphs that it was the right thing to do, and that cersei will be okay because he’s so obviously worried that he’s irreparably hurt her (which he has). by all accounts kevan is a good man - by westerosi patriarchal standards he’s a saint - but that doesn’t matter because his own moral standards are so irreparably warped by that patriarchy. because he is, ultimately, a good man, i think he can tell this but to truly realise that what he did visited horrific and unjustifiable trauma upon his niece would bring with it unbearable guilt, so he just lives in this insane prison of cognitive dissonance.

and at the centre of it all is tywin lannister winner of the worst man in westeros award 50th year running even after his death

HOUSE OF THE DRAGON (2022—)

Something deeply Freudian tells me that if Aegon had come out looking like that (i.e. looking like Alicent photcopied herself) the entire dance would have been avoided because Rhaenyra would have agreed to marry him SO fast.

you have no idea the sacrifices made to put you on the throne.

remember in School of Rock where the black girl was afraid to say she wanted to be a singer because she was fat and didn’t want to get laughed at but Dewey was all “who gives a shit, I’m fat too and so is aretha franklin but we’re still valuable and we rock” and then the girl felt better without having to be told that beauty comes in all sizes or some other bullshit. thats the kind of body positivity I’m looking for. tell these babies that they’re worth a damn without tying it to any other arbitrary ideals

Whenever I do worldbuilding I try to keep this image in mind
