House Beautiful Color, 1993

@laryy-madeofjelly from Tumblr is being tortured by Iron Chair

shiv was not being altruistic nor intellectually self-interested when she voted against kendall. that was pure raw visceral desperation to maintain some semblance of dignity that she felt kendall being ceo would shred her of. sometimes people do not act in other people’s best interests or their own best interests. sometimes people do the wrong thing for the wrong reasons just because it feels like the right, the only, thing to do. shiv could not let kendall be ceo. she just couldn’t. not because she wanted to sacrifice herself to “stop the cycle,” not because she made a calculation and decided tom was her best interest — because the thought of kendall being ceo and acting like That the rest of their lives when shiv earned that job, she fucking earned it, that was too much to fucking bear. watching him sit in dad’s chair, conduct that vote, grin with entitlement and cockiness and certainty — seeing that elicited a visceral painful all-consuming sensation not dissimilar to overwhelming nausea that, summed up in two words, would simply be: fuck. no. she couldn’t live with that. she just couldn’t. it’s not kind. it’s not smart. it’s just human. painfully, destructively human. because sometimes, that’s all there is to it. not just for shiv, but for everyone. god knows roman and kendall have had those same feelings, made those same self-destructing yet necessary-feeling decisions throughout the show. why does it have to be different for shiv? why can’t she be painfully destructively human, prone to impulsive ill-conceived viscerally felt actions, like everyone else? why are we incapable of allotting her the same nuance and humanity (the good and the bad), the same trauma-informed self-destructive life-ruining hamartias, as we do her brothers? why can’t we fit a whole woman in our heads?

Tony and his strange comfort preferences

In Tony’s cabin in Endgame, I noticed that the chairs Tony and Pepper have don’t look very comfortable (to me at least). But knowing Tony I’d say you could give him a stump to sit and he would be happy with it.

Or, actually, he would prefer sitting on the floor…

Tony “not a chair person” Stark.

I'm stupid.

I'm stupid and it made all these cutscenes awkward I'm so sorry Wyll.

Remember when Peter made videos of his trip to Germany coz he can't talk with anyone about it. What if he does the same after the spell because he has no one to talk to about all the pain he is in...

The idea that GRRM is anti Tolkien is particularly funny because ASOIAF is sprinkled with rather intricate (and even passionate) homages to LOTR. And I can’t help but think of how Tolkien’s Fellowship, more specifically the Hobbits, may have inspired GRRM’s Night’s Watch. Jon Snow, for starters, is in many ways a combination of LOTR’s Frodo and Aragorn. And in the same way that Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin are unexpected heroes in LOTR (because who looks to a hobbit as the face of an epic adventure?), Jon the bastard becomes the leader of a ragtag of socially disenfranchised men (in the form of the NW) who are anything but heroic. Sure there’s the odd knight or noble in there, but the NW is quite full of criminals and the very worst of the social order. The hobbits aren’t the strongest or the sharpest but they become the face of the fight against Sauron. And the NW, while being severely undermanned and under-equipped, has become the main force that stands against winter. GRRM even adds a love letter to Tolkien’s Sam Gamgee by adding his on Sam - Sam Tarly - who acts as a moral compass and counselor to Jon, in the same ways that Sam Gamgee is key to Frodo’s journey. And just like Frodo, Jon gets his very own pair of jokester friends, one of whine is even named Pyp. So it’s all very beautiful and nice, and we should talk about it more because it’s super evident that GRRM is a massive Tolkien fanboy. But I do have to say tho, GRRM’s take on Gandalf is exceedingly hilarious just because Melisandre is famously very bad at her job.

Yes - “ My house, my chair, my woman” is phenomenal and made me literally blush and kick my feet but WHY DID WE MOVE PAST THISSSSSS SO QUICKLY??

'Which one are you calling out for?' he asks against my flesh. 'Because it's just you and me in this room, Vi, and I don't share.”

'You.' My fingers tangle in his hair. 'I'm calling out for you.'

'I appreciate the elevation to deity, but my name will do.”

Like I haven’t recovered - I won’t. I’m sobbing this is the only smut I’ve ever cared about 💀

Harley: I accidentally poisoned one of these cups and I don't remember which one.

Peter: How the fuck do you forget something like that.

Ned: ACCIDENTALLY???

Mj: With the way this dinner is going, I hope it's mine.

You cannot tell me that Xaden ‘my house. my chair. my woman.’ Riorsen isn’t playing this on repeat in the first half of Iron Flame in his sad lonely boy moments. You are my universe and I just want to put you first? That bright infinity in your eyes?? I fly to you every night?? Darkness used to be more comfortable to me?! They said we couldn’t be together because we come from different sides?!? We will follow you through this long night!! We are made of each other baby?!?!?

Dain: kisses violet after threshing

Xaden:

what percentage of y'all own ironing boards and regularly iron???
