There’s so many Arya = Tywin’s honorary daughter feels going around, and maybe I’ve got an unpopular opinion going on over here, but I so feel that this is a complete contradiction.

The only reason that Arya is the way she is is that she was NOT Tywin’s daughter. Everything that he enjoys about her, and finds so interesting, are parts of his kids that he squashed out, and that’s not to say that he sees this and regrets it, but rather that were Arya his daughter, he would set himself to quashing them out of her, too.

The Arya/Tywins scenes for me show not that he’s secretly a swell dude, or that he recognizes how cool Arya is, or that he wishes she were his daughter, but rather the extreme difference between the standards he sets for himself and his family and the standards that he sets for others. He appreciates Arya because he has no responsibility for her, and her actions do not reflect on him.

She is interesting, and a source of entertainment, and he certainly sees in her bits of Cersei back when she was young. But he is well aware of all the steps he took to make Cersei ‘presentable,’ and simply because he is kind of Arya does not mean that he would do things differently if he had a second go at parenthood.

#Tywin Lannister is a terrible father who could rule a kingdom but raised his children to kill him #these scenes are fantastic but let’s not forget who Tywin is #or who ARYA is #this is not meant to last #and its setting Arya even farther down her dark path

HOLY FUCK THE NOTES.

Don’t think I’ve seen so many notes on a post since the “Reblog if Captain Jack Harkness Has Shagged You” one.

Omz!

I don’t think that phrase means what you think it means.

“First World Problems” isn’t meant to condescend to poorer countries; when I say it, I’m not intending to perpetuate the stereotype that third world countries have no luxuries or “silly little problems.” I’m sure they do.

The “First World Problem” meme is actually a way of checking one’s self. If I’m bitching because the internet on my laptop doesn’t work and then I say, “first world problems,” my intention is to make myself realize how ridiculous I sound when I bitch about something as superfluous and inconsequential as my personal internet connectivity. I’m not thinking, ha, only people in the first world have this problem. I’m thinking, why the hell am I bitching about this when people in other countries are literally starving to death or dying of dehydration because they have no reliable water source?

Of course people in third world countries have first world problems. But they also have other, much more pressing problems (starvation, disease, dehydration, etc etc) which help put first world problems into perspective.

All right allow me to just rant about my school’s dress code for a moment because it is the most slut-shaming, male-gaze-perpetuating, rape-culture-produced PIECE OF BULLSHIT I HAVE EVER READ

So, when I first arrived at my school the dress code was pretty lax. It’s a private school, but they don’t require us to wear khakis/blazers/dress pants/skirts etc. When I was in middle school, pretty much everything was okay— sweatpants, jeans, t-shirts, and general messy attire. Dress-codes happened, but there was no specific system to them and for the most part no one ever got into any serious trouble for wearing a certain thing.

And then last year, the administration started cracking down. They devised a strict system for giving out dress-code violations and they banned several articles of clothing that had previously been allowed, including yoga pants, leggings as pants, shortish shorts and skirts, shirts with straps less than two finger-widths wide, and “low-cut” tops. For the first two offenses the offender would be given a “yellow card”, which had to be signed my the offender’s parents, and for the third they would be given a red card, which would result in a meeting with the offender’s advisor, a call home, and a Saturday detention. Any offenses after the third one would result in a disciplinary hearing.

Hm… sounds like 100% of these affect only girls! (They do.) To this day, I have never heard of a male student actually receiving a yellow card and having it signed and brought back. For example, when boys are wearing their pants too low, boxers hanging out and whatnot, they’re told to pull up their pants. When a hint of a bra strap peeks out from a girl’s shirt, they’re given a dress code violation without a chance to fix their shirt. 

Now, let me clarify: these measures are not to make the student population appear “neater” or better-dressed. One could literally wear pajamas each and every day and never be dress-coded. These new measures are purely to keep girls from dressing “provocatively.” And here’s the zinger, the thing that really made it glaringly obvious what the fucking intention is here: students are instructed not to “dress in a way that would be distracting.”

Let me get this straight. If the asshole who sits next to me in chemistry “can’t focus” because he can’t stop checking me out, it’s my fault? I should be blamed for his lack of attention? Because, I mean, look at the way I’m dressed! In these skirt, he just couldn’t help himself, right?! 

Something about that argument sounds horribly similar to the “well, look at what she was wearing!” argument in rape cases.

When I get dressed in the morning, I’m not thinking about how it will affect males. I’m not trying to tempt them. I’m not seeking attention, and furthermore, I’m certainly not looking to be sexually harassed. When I put on yoga pants, I’m thinking, “Hey, I can still look put-together but be as comfortable as if I were in sweatpants.” When I put on a skirt that shows off my legs, I’m thinking, “Hey, I look good in this. And I like the way that makes me feel.” The male gaze that my school is so concerned with avoiding does not cross my mind. Should not have to cross my mind. And the same goes for pretty much every single time I leave the house.

And therefore I do not adhere to those standards set by my school. At this point, I’m hoping they’ll give me a dress-code violation, just so I can shame them for trying to shame girls for the choices they make when it comes to clothing.

God damn it. I’m angry all over again.

Essentially, this argument boils down to: George R.R. Martin is creepy because he writes a lot about rape, abuse, and other awful things.

UM.

GRRM is writing about people who live in an extremely harsh environment. A result of that is that a LOT of awful things happen to them (and while perhaps a majority of them happen to female characters, a lot of them also happen to males.)Yes, George created this world. But what happens to his characters is not outside the realm of realism. THAT IS THE POINT OF THIS SERIES. It is NOT a fluffy fantasy that you can read without worrying about whether your favorite character will die or not. JUST LIKE IN REAL LIFE. There’s plenty of fantasy out there (Harry Potter, LOTR, to name the basics) without gratuitous violence. That doesn’t make it better than this or worse. It’s a genre thing. This series shows realistic consequences of characters living in a harsh, unforgiving, sexist, crapsack world that doesn’t give a fuck about them. Just because it’s a fantasy doesn’t mean the point is to pretend that rape, abuse, and torture don’t happen in real life to real people.

So GRRM is creepy, according to you? Who gives a shit. So, by your standards, is every horror author out there. That doesn’t make him a bad writer, or the series a bad series. It’s just different. So suck it.

Do I … could I make a chocolate chip/peanut butter sandwich?

CAN I DO THAT
