still so funny to me that dany was forced to look upon the Horror that would be robb starks fate and then just had to continue with her life. she never thinks about that weird shit again. she has No idea why she had to see a man with a wolfs head staring at her sadly, hand reaching for her. she literally might not ever know what all that was even about.
actually what if she does hear about the red weddings and robb's Horror later on, maybe during dinner with the starklings, and dany almost jumps up screaming "THAT WAS YOUR BROTHER?????"
It's kind of esoterically funny to me that a) there's a fairly popular in, uh, Certain Circles pop-sociology thesis that the rise of capitalism in Europe is in some occult way downstream of the Catholic ban on incest and also b) the Most Catholic Family in History was also famously so dedicated to inbreeding they kept at it even when infant mortality rates for Habsburg heirs were like 80%.
The title makes it sound a lot worse than it was so just bear with me. First time poster and doing this on mobile so format might be weird.
I (20M) died when I was 15 and not even three months after my death my family replaced me took in my younger brother (17M now, 13M then). I was adopted at 12 and had a fuck ton of issues but that’s not really relevant. Not long after I had turned 15 my dad and I began having a lot of fights and things between us was pretty bad and then I died.
So I came back to life, some stuff happens and I find out that my family had replaced me taken in the younger brother. Not only did that mean that I became a fucking middle child (which is terrible in itself) but also while I was dead it turns out the younger brother was going around talking about how he was better than me and wouldn’t do something stupid and get himself killed. At that point beating the shit out of him was a pretty logical step for me, who the fuck goes around talking like that about a dead kid?
So yeah, last year I broke into the place he had been staying at with his friends, deactivated the security and beat the shit out of him. I didn’t kill him, I didn’t want to, he just needed to learn a lesson.
We have gotten over it and moved on, we hang out a lot now and spend a lot of time together but my older brother (25M) (also adopted) says that I was a huge asshole and what I did wasn’t excusable. Younger brother and I have dealt with it ourselves and moved on but older brother keeps on bringing it up. So, am I the asshole?
EDIT:
Huh, I did not expect this to get as much attention as it has so here’s a bit more info that people have asked for. Dad knows about everything that’s happened, because younger brother and I have dealt with it ourselves and he knows nothing like that will happen again he thinks it’s something we can easily leave in the past. Older brother has been away a lot (he doesn’t stay in the same city) and hasn’t been around to see the progress younger brother and I have made. Last time he was in town (seven months ago) younger brother and I could not stand being in the same building as the other.
Update:
Older brother has backed off, saying that as long as things between younger brother and I are good now it’s none of his business (bullshit, I know he’s still going to bring it up).
the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again
There's a user called Erika Horn (@erikahorn.art) on tiktok who made a "duet me" challenge so technically impressive that all of the duets are exactly like this LMAO
