The urge to have a homoerotic swordfight with your sworn enemy turned respected rival on the crumbling walls of an old castle
Lanfear, in addition to being an iconic Crazy Ex Girlfriend, is also a champion of I Can Make Him Worse. She’s always trying to kickstart Rand’s corruption arc and failing.
Meanwhile Rand is actually having a corruption arc but in a wildly different direction that is completely incompatible with her idealized Lews Therin.

The funniest thing about "US war crimes made the people who did it feel super bad 😟" is pretty much universally across the board it really didn't
Oppenheimer never went on to oppose the use of nuclear weapons, even after getting ratfucked by the Red Scare, and died peacefully at home. William Westmoreland, who wanted to use nuclear weapons on Vietnam, said he lost because "the Oriental doesn't put the same price on life as a Westerner." Chris Kyle bragged about shooting women and children in Afghanistan (at least he mercifully got his lights turned off by one of his fellow operator chud stormtroopers). None of these "people" ever gave a shit.
one of the most infuriating parts of the 'White Light/Black Rain: The Destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki' documentary is when they interview the actual pilots who dropped the nukes, their reaction was pretty much "nah what we did was completely justified. Not an ounce of regret. Never even lost sleep about it lol".
If we don’t microdose delusion we won’t make it through this reality babe….
Touch me like you've missed me for decades. Touch me like you're re-claiming what is yours.

You know what, fuck you. *Romanticizes the monstrous in a way that is deeply compelling to people who feel they've been ostracized from mainstream society in one way or another, and also at least a little bit horny*

I think it's important to do a secret kindness every now and then, and never speak of it, so that strangers on the street can believe that the universe is gentle.
Sometimes, I think the biggest issue some Sansa stans have with Arya is that Arya didn't just roll over and let someone kill her. That Arya had the audacity to survive for 5 books. It's clear they do admire Arya's skills and traits, so much so that they claim them for Sansa, but they hate that Arya is the one that has them. Some of them have made posts and written metas about how wrong Arya was to try to stop Joffrey from hurting her. That she should have let the stable boy turn her in. Or she should have been happy that the woman took advantage of her.
The fact that Arya is still alive 5 books in and plays a major part in the series annoys the shit out of them because for them, Arya is blocking what they (incorrectly) believe is Sansa's true storyline in the books- Arya's. We've all seen their claims- Arya wasn't the outsider at WF, it was Sansa. Arya and Jon's close relationship was actually about Sansa and Jon. Needle may have been given to Arya but Jon was thinking about Sansa. Arya remembering about learning ruling and leadership from Ned? Empathy for the small folk and sense of justice? That all belongs to Sansa now. How about Arya not wanting to leave the North and trying so hard to go back to WF? No, that was Sansa. It was Arya that wanted to leave the North. Jon forsaking his NW vows to save Arya from Ramsay? That too is about Sansa but I'm a little (ok a LOT) fuzzy on how.
Basically, just replace Arya’s name with Sansa in the books. It would be much easier to claim all this and more for Sansa if Arya wasn't around. If Arya had just done the "nice" thing died in the first book, Sansa would be the only Stark daughter left. The only daughter of the North. The only granddaughter of Hoster Tully. The only sister Bran, Rickon, and Jon. You know, what they already try to claim. I can't even count how many times Sansa stans have told me Sansa has to survive to the end of the series or be Queen of the North or Lady of the WF/RL or marry whomever will be King because Sansa is the daughter of Ned Stark, she's the grandchild of Hoster Tully. And completely ignore the fact that Arya can claim the same, along with two younger brothers that have the same lineage. And while it's not as vocal or repeated as often, you can't ignore that they wish Bran and Rickon would go away as well or they already consider them incapacitated to rule or dead.
It's because of this that I think to some of the Sansa stans, the cruelest thing Arya has ever done to Sansa in the book wasn't throwing a blood orange at a nice dress. It was for just not letting herself be killed.
Remember kids:
The reason why USA media says that Europeans are lazy and don't work is just to make you think the normal is constant work, no vacations and if you aren't working you are lazy.
When is the opposite, they are just trying to sell you the idea of constant work as the normal state of being.
I'm going to need y'all to preemptively chill out because the actor's strike is going to mean a lot of things including shows and movies we've been anticipating being pushed way back, and absolutely minimal press tours for the next however long this lasts.
The effects of the writer's strike are months down the road which made it a whole lot easier to support because as third parties we weren't really being affected (yet), the effect of the actor's strike is going to be immediate and we're going to get a lot more propaganda of "these people are overpaid to begin with."
Remember our desire for content does not supersede these people's rights to live.
Support unions, support the strikes.
They should invent a way to shoot your shot that isn’t deeply profoundly humiliating for all involved
