#can we just stop and appreciate Harry’s face in this scene? #I mean, he’s literally waiting for someone to say something about Hermione’s blood status #she’s the only Muggleborn in the slug club full of purebloods and well known people #and Harry’s there just like “say something I dare you” #and if you look at her face, you can see the actual hesitation and somewhat fear of what will happen next after telling of her parents occupation #Harry truly is acting like Hermione’s big brother, which I absolutely love #i just adore this scene

I love that Neville looks genuinely interested in what hermione’s talking about.

Harry: I wish a motherfucka would talk shit right now Say something, make my day Das right

Nevile looks like he’s just made a private mental note in flaming red ink: WHATEVER THE HELL A DENTIST IS, DON’T MESS WITH ONE. 

#this is a harry potter blog#seriously any profession that turns out a kid like hermione#must be utterly terrifying#nevile finds out it involves rearranging people’s teeth with wires and drills#and drugs and scrapy knives#and is like AHA#I KNEW IT#I KNEW THEY WERE TERRIFYING#hermione granger: horrifying storm of a girl since day one#(so do the muggles have to be hunted down for that or does the government assign you targets) he asks her one day#she squints at him for a long time#’they volunteer’ she says eventually#neville shivers#muggles are HARDCORE

Including tags because oh my fucking god.

Those tags are perfect

LOTR extras ”He proceeded to sort of talk about some very clandestine part of WW2… He seemed to have expert knowledge of exactly the sort of noise that they make so I just sort of didn’t push the subject any further, I just said ”Well you obviously know what to do, Christopher, so I’m sure you’ll do it great” and he did.

#i’m not saying christopher lee has killed a man but i think we all know christopher lee has killed a man

You see the problem with Once Upon a Time feels is that you feel bad for EVERYONE, so when something bad happens to one character that's good for another you're just lost in a flood of feels for BOTH PARTIES AND YOU JUST END UP SO CONFUSED. You know, everyone EXCEPT for Cora.

Cora is the Joffrey of Once upon a Time. 

It’s dangerous to confuse vengeance with justice.

 “Maester Cressen told Stannis that we might be forced to eat our dead, and there was no gain in flinging away good meat. Thanks to the Onion Knight we were never reduced to dining on corpses, but it was a close thing. Too close for Ser Gawen, who died in his cell.”

thanks silly graphic.

“Listen, you have to let me be represented.  I can’t just…keep giving you my heart and my taxes and not be a bigger part of your government.  I want more than that.  I deserve more than that.”

“You know I can’t.  You knew that from the moment you went so far away.  I just…this is what I have to give.  I don’t have anymore.  For God’s sake, there’s an ocean between us!”

“Fine.  You know what, fine.  Here, just, see all this goddamn tea you gave me?  Well you can take it back.  Here, fish it out of the harbor for all I care.”

“Don’t do this.”

“I have no choice.  I’ll never be anything more than a colony to you.”

“America—”

“No, Britain.  Don’t.”

“I can’t just let you go, you know that. I’ll fight for you if I have to.”

“And I will fight back.” 

It was on this date, 235 years ago, that America "unfollowed" England.

…..seriously?

…..like, for real?

Well, all of them, since their House has existed, basically.  Because Bear Island is really the only matriarchal culture in Westeros (though I can see an argument for Dorne), and they have experienced more freedom than most women in the Seven Kingdoms—both sexually and politically.  

The carving on the gate to Bear Island’s keep is a woman holding a suckling babe in one arm and a battle ax in the other: because women on Bear Island have ALWAYS had to be fighters—when the men went off to fish or to war, it was up to the women to keep the island running, to fight wildlings and reavers.  And they did. Successfully.  

But if you want specifics:

Lady Maege Mormont, the younger sister of Jeor, who became the Lady of Bear Island after Jorah was exiled.  She pretty much rescued the island from ruin, considering that Jorah had spent all of their money on Lynesse.  She’s also had to rebuild the Mormont family name, since Jorah pretty much ruined all their honor with his betrayal.  She’s now one of the most respected noblewomen in the North. She is a fierce warrior and exemplifies the matriarchal culture that Bear Island is known for.  She clashes with Jeor and doesn’t really seem to mind that he disapproves.  

As GRRM himself has said, she’s called Maege Mormont, because we don’t know if she’s actually even married.  The other Northerners don’t even know if she has a husband, or who fathered her children (or if they had multiple fathers, if they were even noblemen, or WHAT) and guess what, she’s still the undisputed Lady of the island.  No one. Questions. Her.  

She is the one who gave the signal for the attack on the Whispering Wood.  There was also that time in the Westerlands when she captured thousands of Lannister cattle (or cattle of Lannister bannermen, same difference) and drove them toward the Riverlands.

She is currently (along with Galbart Glover and her two middle daughters) searching for Greywater Watch - as one of Robb Stark’s most trusted counselors, she was tasked with finding Howland Reed, and also carries the parchment that has Robb’s declaration of succession. 

Dacey Mormont, her eldest daughter and heir, who was given a morningstar when other girls were given dolls, who serves in Robb Stark’s select King’s Guard - the only woman to do so, who (ASOS SPOILERS) chooses to remain with her battle companions instead of going with her mother and sisters to find Greywater Watch and dies protecting her king as a result, during the Red Wedding.

Alysane Mormont, the second oldest daughter (presumably in her early 20s) who becomes the heir when Dacey dies.  She is unwed…yet already has two children, ages 9 and 2. And doesn’t give a fuck what anyone thinks of her.  And is STILL THE UNQUESTIONABLE HEIR.  

When Stannis Baratheon makes the move to take back Deepwood Motte from the Greyjoys, it’s Aly who makes the tactical decision to aid him, and it’s her men, at her direction, who are instrumental in helping take back Deepwood. 

Lyra and Jorelle Mormont - Maege’s two middle daughters. We don’t know much about them, except that they are with Maege and Galbart, looking for Greywater Watch, as well. They’re likely in their mid to late teens, and already warrior women, fighting for their king and the North.

Lyanna Mormont - Maege’s youngest daughter, at only 10 years old, is left in charge of Bear Island while her older sisters and mother are out fighting.  

Her response to Stannis Baratheon’s demand that Bear Island bend the knee to him?

“Bear Island knows no king but the King in the North, whose name is Stark.”

Basically, she doesn’t even appear physically - only as a reference - and she manages to verbally kick the ass of one of the most formidable men in the Seven Kingdoms.

So to answer your question, Anon:

those Mormont women.

WHY DOES THIS NOT EXIST!!!!

For that matter, why must I always find myself on ships that have already sunk...
