before making a joke, be sure to ask yourself: is this O.K. to say?
Only funny to me Kind of mean
i need you to know that nothing in these books makes me more feral than brienne and jaime’s white sword tower scene. nothing.
jaime: i set up this elaborate gift reveal to show you how wrong you are about me and instead of being impressed you have stomped on all my feelings
brienne:
jaime: now get out of here so i can immortalize you before i start my suicide mission
lmao his dumb ass sitting there for hours waiting for her to show up in the dress he bought her
if bran stark was witness to this tower nonsense instead of the twincest he’d have thrown himself out the window
Two rules for creating anything.
1) Make it weird.
2) Make it with love.
brienne and her names for jaime from asos to adwd
in conclusion
coming up with an au were a dead character lives but shaking my head while i do it so everyone watching knows i support the role their death played in the narrative and consider it a legitimate writing choice
this is an awesome post to make if you want to get spoiled for every single piece of media on the entire planet
the concept and idea of “you can always start trying to be a better person” is extremely important to me both in media and irl and i continue to be deeply deeply disturbed by the trend on this site pushing that these ideas in media are bad writing or even morally reprehensible
because theyd rather someone stay terrible or just straight up die than become a better person
from a compassionate point of view it’s deeply distressing and from a pragmatic point of view it’s outright frustrating
it’s fucked up.
What is the most important step a man can take?
The next.
I think part of the pushback about this is the idea that, to “redeem” bad people, their victims must first forgive them for unforgivable acts.
This is false. No one is obligated to forgive you. You can learn from your mistakes and become the best, kindest person on earth, and the people you’ve hurt still won’t forgive you, and you’ll have to accept that. And that doesn’t mean you aren’t allowed to grow. Because we aren’t just “pure” or “sinful”, we’re complex.
horrible news: you have to practice to level up your skills because it's unrealistic to think you'll be good at everything first try
this applies to unlearning things like shame and creating better coping mechanisms and forming new habits
