A nightmare it might be, yet it was no dream

I die a little inside every time asoiaf fans don't know what colonialism is or use the word colonialism to describe every single military takeover or conquest that has ever happened.

#that’s when u know you’re about to hear the worst Dany take of ur life (via @melrosing)

#dany with her one (1) state-city and no imperial core to speak of being called a colonialist #lmao (via @femrobespierre)

#dany isnt a colonial power shes not extracting the wealth and resources of the places she conquers to a central state #dany is a warlord #and maybe reconstruction #see: the economic dependency on slavery (via @rooses40stepskincareroutine)

#co-signed by ur local indigenous asoiaf blogger #people describe the conquest as colonialism and I immediately am like. oh! you’re stupid! got it! #if the conquest was colonialism every single house in westeros would be speaking some variation of valyrian. and the faith of the seven #and the old gods and the drowned god #would all be put to dragons flame with their practitioners being hunted for sport #westerosi culture would have been brutally stripped and oppressed and only practiced in secret #colonization occupation and conquering are three different things #and while they can overlap they aren’t interchangeable #the only colonial force seen in asoiaf is old valyrian and even that is like #the Romans. and not colonial England.

Sansa I AGOT

not Sansa feeding Lady at the table and then covering for Arya in her first chapter 👀

#daily reminder that sansa was not a bully intent on making arya’s life suck at every turn #they are literally just sisters #they look out for each other. they call each other names. they think the other has it easier. they are in a constant misunderstanding. #but always always always they love each other and would never wish true harm upon them (via @alaynestcnes)

bitches hate me because of my.... bad personality.... paranoid nature... addictive tendencies......the torture basement.

STAR WARS: EPISODE III - REVENGE OF THE SITH (2005)

if you remove the cannibalism, manipulation, murder, abuse of power, non consensual shoving of an ear down one’s throat, unsafe bdsm, power dynamics, unethical therapy practices, framing for murder, intentionally feeding of a type of soup that worsens encephalitis to a person with encephalitis, sawing one’s head open, paralyzing, killing the support group of your potential partner, abandonment, body horror

forgot the age gap

how could I forget the age gap…

reading about hayden's understanding of anakin's psychology in revenge of the sith is so illuminating. his fall is not about his moral convictions or about loyalty to a mentor. he's selfishly looking for ways to increase his own power to resist change, without regard for any ethical boundaries, he simply doesn't care about that. he's apolitical, amoral; it's all about what he wants.

anakin just doesn't love obi-wan and the jedi more than he loves being important and having control over the world around him. he doesn't love freedom or justice more than he loves license to do and have whatever he wants. it's really what makes him so dangerous, such a malleable weapon to be wielded. he doesn't have ethical boundaries or convictions to keep him steady.

lacking firm definition of what is good and what is evil allows anakin to redefine those terms to suit his needs. it's what allows him to kill innocents and still not think of himself as evil. it's what allows him to tell obi-wan that the jedi are evil, despite it being an obvious self-delusion. he's lost because his moral compass doesn't point north, but spins freely to face whatever he wants.

The funniest part of the LOTR movies is Legolas. This man has like five lines total across all three movies but sometimes they'll zero in on his face during a big scene and he's having the BEST reactions. It gets better when he's in the back of a shot judging everyone around him. Orlando Bloom was doing the MOST
