rereading a clash of kings and i just noticed that when dany is going through the house of the undying, she passes by a door which has a feast of corpses inside and on the throne is a a dead man with the head of a wolf. HOW DID I NOT REALIZE WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN????
so i’m mostly just trying to figure out how i feel towards a certain situation.
a few days ago, i end up hooking up with a guy i see on a regular basis. we were both drunk and it went way too far but nothing i can do about that now. either way he stops by two days later to drop off something i forgot and what happened never came up in the five minutes he was over. which was fine at the time cause i dont know how i would’ve handled that awkwardness.
but now all i can think of is how incredibly weird it is to pretend like the whole thing just didnt happen. while it seems like the easier route to go with, its hard for me to fathom acting like what went down didnt actually occur.
and this is why i dont like to hook up with people i know :(
Okay. Reasons that this scene is the best thing ever include but are by no means limited to:
- how well Maisie Williams is holding her own here, I mean here she is playing against this amazing veteran actor and she’s just bringing it
- the way this is like her fucked-up revenge fantasy of what she wishes her brother could do to the Lannisters
- but she’s already disillusioned enough to know it’s a fantasy
- because “anyone can be killed” is an implicit threat to Tywin but it’s also an acknowledgement of the fact that she or Robb or anyone else can bite it at any time
- (because apparently Arya has already read ASOIAF and knows how fucked they all are)
- and let’s talk about the fact that this kid just threatened Tywin Lannister
- TYWIN FUCKING LANNISTER
- whose own kids can barely look him in the face when they’re talking to him
- his kids who are grownups and have killed kings and won battles and run kingdoms are terrified of him
- and he looks at Arya and thinks “why aren’t my kids awesome like you”
- “you’re like five years old and you just threatened me, you little badass”
- (‘cause don’t think for a second that Tywin doesn’t get the subtext here)
- “why do my children have to be such cringing little asshats”
- (but of course Tywin is the one who made them into cringing little asshats.)
Not a fan of GoT last night. I’m guessing Oona Chaplin’s character is supposed to be Jeyne Westerling but with a name change(imdb wouldn’t tell me anything on this front) but gods she was annoying. Would she be saying the same things of that man had been one of Robb’s? Not sure but either way her argument didn’t really make sense.
Ahh and the scene with Dany and the Thirteen was not a good one. I did not imagine Xaro being portrayed like that at all. I always thought of him as being overly affected in his speech and somewhat overtly manipulative.
I will say in general though, reading the books has made watching the show a whole lot less fun for me.
i realize i am a terrible person. then i realize i dont care.
the benefits of not having a soul
