30 days of ASOIAF- funniest moment: Irri and Jhiqui arguing about Rahkaro
“You are too skinny for him, ” Jhiqui was saying. “You are almost a boy. Rakharo does not bed with boys. This is known.” Irri bristled back. “It is known that you are almost a cow. Rakharo does not bed with cows.”

Ned’s hands are bound when he speaks his last words to her.
“Perhaps it is you who should hold the sword,” he says.
His eyes do not leave hers until they pull him away and make him kneel.
The crowd roars when the blade comes down.
Cersei blinks. [x]
Renly Baratheon had been more than a king to her. She had loved him since first he came to Tarth on his leisurely lord’s progress, to mark his coming of age. Her father welcomed him with a feast and commanded her to attend; elsewise she would have hidden in her room like some wounded beast. She had been no older than Sansa, more afraid of sniggers than of swords. They will know about the rose, she told Lord Selwyn, they will laugh at me. But the Evenstar would not relent.
And Renly Baratheon had shown her every courtesy, as if she were a proper maid, and pretty. He even danced with her, and in his arms she’d felt graceful, and her feet had floated across the floor. Later others begged a dance with her, because of his example. From that day forth, she wanted only to be close to Lord Renly, to serve him and protect him. But in the end she failed him.

Fool’s blood, king’s blood, blood on the maiden’s thigh, but chains for the guests and chains for the bridegroom, aye aye aye.

So JENN asked for some Arya meta because she was lacking, which is CRAZY and kind of awesome at the same time, because I’ve seen Sansa and Catelyn and Cersei meta of all sorts and those are the ladies that usually need defending and Arya’s the favorite off the bat, but lately I’ve seen sort of this spurn against her from people that love Cersei and Sansa and Catelyn.
Which, lbr, YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG. Though, as to say, I’m biased as all hell, because as is the case with most fandoms if I don’t love everyone in this bar the second you say you hate them I will go WAIT I LOVE THEM LET ME EXAMINE THEM MORE CLOSELY AND LOVE THEM MORE OH WAIT IT’S STANNING STATUS.
But anyway.
ARYA STARK. SPOILERS, YO. Up to ADWD.
yes good
You can call it a feminist piece, UNTIL you realize that really, the women are the ones who fuck EVERYTHING up.
Because Robert certainly didn’t fuck things up by starting a war for a woman he was obsessed with; he didn’t do anything by abusing his wife for years. Aerys certainly didn’t fuck anything up by killing and torturing people. Rhaegar didn’t fuck anything up by slighting Elia, running off with Lyanna and leaving his children and wife in King’s Landing with his mad father basically unprotected. Ned certainly didn’t fuck anything up by keeping secrets from his wife, bringing home a bastard, not telling Jon about his mother, going off to King’s Landing, trusting Littlefinger, not getting his daughters out of King’s Landing before trusting Cersei. Robb, well Robb was valiant and heroic—he didn’t fuck things up by not bending the knee, storming people’s castles, by breaking his promise to the Freys, breaking his promise to his mother. Jorah? Jorah didn’t fuck things up by informing on his charge—I mean it’s not like whatever he told the people who were paying him got assassins sent after Dany or anything. It’s not like Littlefinger’s scheming launched Westeros into war (or like he wanted that outcoming…he was just scheming because he was bored)!
Do you need me to continue? Because I can.
Perfect response.
I post geeky things (usually of awesome ladies) anywhere from four times a day to once a week. Sometimes more. My tags are half nonsensical, half informative. Sometimes the ratio shifts in one direction. I will not say which.
