So, just an update about my general life:

• Tonight, I am going to a party involving drunkenness, anthropomorphic furniture, the most adorable horse, and men approximately the size of a barge, as well as friends who I have sorely missed lately.
• I have started dating again, and it is the first time I have Dated Properly, that is, not just gotten wrapped up in some online thing that was weird and way too fast and with unstable people. It’s lovely. I feel like a girl in a movie.
• I actually work for a place that’ll let me work from home, and so my roommate and I are going for brunch tomorrow morning because I miss her dearly.
• TVD is on tonight, and I have seen promo pics, and holy shit.
• Doctor Who starts on Saturday.
• Game of Thrones starts on Sunday.
• I’m doing a work sprint and me and the girl who works under me have managed to grow one of the businesses by 800%
• The only downside is I forgot I have a doctor’s appt tomorrow morning BUT OH WELL. IN GENERAL, THINGS ARE SO UP THEY’RE IN THE STRATOSPHERE.

Bones, Catelyn thought. This is not Ned, this is not the man I loved, the father of my children. His hands were clasped together over his chest, skeletal fingers curled about the hilt of some longsword, but they were not Ned’s hands, so strong and full of life. They had dressed the bones in Ned’s surcoat, the fine white velvet with the direwolf badge over the heart, but nothing remained of the warm flesh that had pillowed her head so many nights, the arms that had held her. The head had been rejoined to the body with fine silver wire, but one skull looks much like another, and in those empty hollows she found no trace of her lord’s dark grey eyes, eyes that could be soft as a fog or hard as sone. They gave his eyes to crows, she remembered.

She gazed down at the bones that were all that remained of her lord and love. “Now leave me, all of you. I would be alone with Ned tonight.”

And after the war, at Winterfell, I had love enough for any woman, once I found the good sweet heart beneath Ned’s solemn face.

madeupofstars: So, an aside about Jeyne. And Talisa.

So, I feel like I need to say a little more about this. First, establishing some things:

• I realise that Jeyne Westerling had very little personality in the books.
• I think that Talisa actually could be a very interesting character, if GoT was not based off of said books.

Things that bother me:

Wait, has it not been revealed that Talisa is lying and is actually Jeyne? Because that’s where I thought they were going with this. Is it not????? Bear in mind I haven’t seen tonight’s episode yet. Just- if Talisa isn’t going to turn out to actually be Jeyne, I’m not sure wtf they’re doing in this show anymore.

I have seen many things on the internet that say “Talisa Maegyr is a character created to replace Jeyne Westerling,” and in interviews they’re all SHE’S THIS AMAZING HEALER BLAH BLAH BLAH no like, secret mentioned or anything. If they do somehow like, pull away the curtain and Talisa is Jeyne, idk if it makes me wtf more or less, because why the fuck would a Westerling be out on her own masquarading as a chick from Volantis. :< aghhhhhh whyyyy did they make this choiiiiiice. 

I was under the imppression she used a false name. Maybe it’s to hide the fact she’s a Westerling.

I very much hope that’s the case, although that doesn’t really explain how/why Jeyne would be tromping around a battlefield for weeks cutting off feet. I’m just very confused :(

Well, in ASOS didn’t she and Robb meet when he was hurt and she healed him? That’s why he married her. (Am I giving away spoilers? D:)

(Not to me? D: I’m assuming people who don’t know won’t be reading this…? D:) but yeah - she bandaged his cuts or w/e, but she’s a lord’s daughter, and is very much a part of her family. It just doesn’t make sense to me. I do hope she’s Jeyne, although I don’t really know what to think about her lying about a bunch of stuff. It doesn’t bug me that they shifted Ros and squashed her together with Ayaya, or that Asha is Yara and all that stuff. It bugs me that it makes Robb’s throwing away his commitment a lot more pre-meditated, and his men / mother have all put in their $0.02 and they don’t like her, so he’s disregarding all of their advice, and it’s just a giant mess. In short, I hope she’s Jeyne, but I have no idea if/how they would make her be remotely similar to the Jeyne in the books. I don’t dislike Talisa, I just am confused by her. I probably would like her if the series was not book-based and was an original work.

azorahai:

people are really making me not want to watch game of thrones anymore because apparently it’s ‘stupid’ and ‘not good enough’ and the writers are ‘pathetic’

yes please

just keep ripping apart a show i’m actually rather proud of when it comes to the Fantasy genre, a genre that has been demeaned time and time again over the years.

Just.

Yeah.

Keep doing that. 

rarrrrghhhhhh. I’m sorry people are so fucking disappointing. :( Even when I’m not thrilled about a choice they made, I’m still scrambling to watch it, and it’s good television and tells a story and I love it with all my heart. I don’t know what people want if they say that GoT is not good enough - like, sorry, wtf are you looking for? GoT is amaze and people need to stop watching and commenting if they’re haters. <3 you.
