Me: And We Could Say That Satin Takes The Symbolic Place Of Mary Magdalene By Jons Side If We Take Into

me: —and we could say that satin takes the symbolic place of mary magdalene by jon’s side if we take into account the messianic/jesus imagery around jon as a character because satin is a sex worker that jon fervently accepts and protects and though mary magdalene was not actually a sex worker in truth it is how she is recognized in popular culture and i have to also mention that mary magdalene was exorcised of seven demons by jesus and satin converts to the old gods in essence casting away the faith of the seven for jon’s religion and satin is said to wear perfume which is interesting because one of mary magdalene’s symbolic attributes is perfume and as well as this ‘messiah’ literally translates to ‘anointed one’ and perfume is used to anoint which is interesting when factoring in the prophesied figure of the perfumed seneschal as satin is one of several who fits this role and all of this is to say that he’s going to be the prime witness of jon’s messianic resurrection and act as an apostle to jon and—

maybe my favorite thing about jaime today is that despite his refusal to address the reason why he does things within his own head, he does NOT refuse himself the pleasure of doing or saying or thinking stuff anyways

“I have no idea why I’m thinking about brienne in relation to babies but imma pray for her big stubborn self anyways”

“Imma save you from this bear no wench I won’t be taking criticism at this time”

“Imma give you a dress and say it goes with your eyes and here’s a magic sword and a paper that says you can do whatever you want and some money and a pretty horse no I will NOT accept thanks get out”

“come on wench you should be kissing me rn like rn too don’t you see you should be kissing me it’s like obvious you should be doing just that”

“i’m not interested in you like that wench i’m just making us both share a bath naked and this stiffy is just happenstance”

“did you just talk shit about brienne *fucking slaps the shit talker* *tells him off* *sends him far away* trash ought to be outside i derive no pleasure from this it’s just fact that brienne deserves respect and that is final”

“sitting next to baths is an experience because every time im in proximity to a bath I remember brienne and her thicc legs and wait did you just think I was thinking about you? as if”

“my lady im surprised I didn’t expect to see you so soon that’s the only reason why I just jumped from my chair obvs i knew you’d find the girl i’m your #1 fan but dear gods who the fuck did that to you of course im coming with no biggie”

I love how, no matter their differences in personality, all of the Stark kids have this energy

Being salty over how badly were Piper, Leo and Jason written in HOO is like my default state for 2 or 3 years for now. 

I’m so angry at Ri*k writing because, first this white cis male makes up an idea of a character that sounds really good, that promises interesting point of view and inner conflicts, introduces said character in a manner that makes me, a reader,  go ‘Hmmmm, shit’s gonna be fun with him/her’.

And then he just leaves them there. Cardboard traits, no insight of character’s problems, a liiiiiiiiiiitle bit of backstory there and there, so no one can say that they are useless and, of cource, romance. I’m not opposed to romantic interactions as long as they ACTUALLY MEAN SOMETHING FOR BOTH CHARACTERS.  Despite how much I love jasiper I still can admit that if they were friends and nothing else throughout the whole series, that would make no difference for me, or it would feel even better. Because a good friendship weights more for me than an underbaked romance and forgotten third wheel.

AND GOD. Leo had so much potential. All three of them had, but Leo’s waste is just devastating for me. He was so fun, so wrapped in his own insecurity yet kind, but... He didn’t go anywhere. Everything that happened to him didn’t change him, which is a consequence of being a carbon instead of breathing body. 

Ri*k doesn’t know how to use ‘show, don’t tell’ rule of writing. I don’t fucking want to read a short sentences like ‘He felt bad, because his mother was dead’. No. I want to see how this memory of Esperanza haunts Leo, I want to see how he avoids even thoughts about her death, how it affects his attitude, how his trauma from his mother death and trauma from life in foster care stains him. I want to hear Leo Valdez, Hispanic American mechanic, a motherless boy, a runaway. 

i love laughing about the friend zone because it’s so dumb like you know most of those dudes aren’t even IN the “friend zone” they’re in the “ugh god not this dude again” zone

I just love the myth of Persephone, i mean the real, original version of it, because it’s not like she got kidnapped, no, this bitch was la-de-da-ing in a meadow and she just happened to find an entrance to the Underworld and she was like “Imma check this out”. And she just wanders into the Underworld and discovers that hey this place ain’t too bad.

Meanwhile Hades is in the background “????? UM??? PRETTY GIRL??? WHY ARE YOU HERE?????? YOU AREN’T DEAD???” 

And Persephone (who was originally called Kore just a little fyi) just looked at him and said “I like it here. I’m staying.”

And Hades kinda just went with it, until Demeter started throwing the temper tantrum of the millenium upstairs and Zeus had to intervene because this shit was getting out of hand and its actually his job to be admistrator of justice. Which considering the shit he gets up to is kinda histerical but that’s another story there. 

And basically Persephone wasn’t a prisoner or kidnap victim at all she just really loved the Underworld and her (eventual) husband, and the Greeks feared her arguably more than her husband because Hades could be reasoned with but Persephone was the one laying the smack down on sinners, and really, who wouldn’t be at least a little scared of someone who’s name means something along the lines of “the destroyer”

Basically, Persephone is amazing and everbody needs to get on her level
