The Gods have fashioned us for love. 25. Medievalist with an MA. I post Reylo, Rhaenicent, and other painful pairings that satisfy my masochistic desires and disappoint the general population.
asoiaf is crazy bc it really gets people to say a society in the text (which had so many slaves to the point that when some of them escaped they were able to establish an entire city) is progressive because brothers had to marry their sisters in order to inherit wealth. I don’t think we’ll see that discourse in any other fandom for maybe centuries. GRRM created something special here.
Happy Italian liberation day to my nonno who used to pickpocket cigarettes off of soldiers before he turned 10. Im sorry ur granddaughter isn’t as cool as you.
the only way some of these stans can interact with asoiaf is through mentally deleting every mention of sansa stark, and then crying when people “force her into the story” like she hasn’t been a major pov for decades😭😭. Jon and Sansa weren’t besties by any means but they’ve both thought about eachother in a positive light more than once. Cope with the ginger , get over it already.
over 2 hour pilot pete bachelor commentary (I have never watched the bachelor). will I learn anything? will it enrich my life? no and no. but I'm in my swivel chair, I applied to more jobs I've been cleaning nonstop, and I deserve this.
One thing that keeps confusing me is that they claim ghost files costs several hundreds of thousands of dollars per episode. I’ve tried to wrap my head around this ever since the announcement because flying a crew of 6 or so people out for two days and renting out the location COULD NOT be costing that much unless they’re either lying or blowing money on first class flights and expensive food/accommodations and even THEN do I not see them breaking 200k on a single episode. Dear lord hire an accountant I’m half convinced someone’s laundering money
Sudan still desperately needs aid--it needs a lot of things, but it is approaching a dangerous point with famine and mass death due to hunger imminent.
These are the kinds of headlines we're getting now:
Here's an ongoing fundraiser:
I linked it before, to help with Ramadan, but it's an ongoing initiative, the need has not stopped.
I picked this gofundme because it's been boosted by people I trust and you can see pictures online of the food they've provided, e.g.:
But I also picked this because you can see the amount of donations. It's 2pm ET on Saturday, April 20th right now? For the next week, whatever's donated, I'll match for a total up to $2,000 (we'll say 2,750 CAD, since the gofundme is in Canadian dollars).
You don't have to send me a receipt, I just ask that you donate and boost.
Edited on 2024-04-22:
We've met and passed the goal! Feel free to donate further, but I've gone ahead and donated the $2,750 matching already. :)))
2023-2024 has been the age of nonbinary actors for me bc between Emma Corrin, Emma D’Arcy and Phoebe Campbell the nonbinary fantasy actor league is gripping me by the throat and I’m a-okay with that!
