They cut Criston's hair like Jaime and are going to put him on a horse in raging battle. What else did Jaime Lannister do other than get an ugly haircut and lead battles? Sleep with his queen. Oh my gawd.
also it’s kind of funny that it’s basically implied that jacaerys knows he and his brothers are bastards and that lucerys doesn’t and that rhaenyra totally didn’t have to bring up those rumors again, which, mind you, work against her all the time because where there’s smoke there’s fire, but she did bring it up + lied that aemond attacked first and they only defended themselves against him to somehow prove again that she and her kids are always the innocent ones because she knows viserys will eat it right up because he’s always on her side. and then she asks for the kid with the missing eye to be interrogated about where the information that her kids are bastard children comes from which like…. aegon solved in 0.2 seconds.
literally what was the point for rhaenyra justifying her kid step brother missing an eye over rumors that everyone knows about
“now they see you as you are”
no. now i see you as you are. unfortunately.
It’s funny how Criston’s line about how every woman should be treated like the mother is used as an example of how he’s a misogynist who has a Madonna/Whore complex when the topic of the conversation between him and Aemond is the red light district and sex workers. Criston includes them in his label of respectable women. How on earth can he believe in the Madonna/Whore dichotomy when he says treat prostitutes like the mother? If anything he obliterates the dichotomy. This line of Criston is arguably one of the most progressive thing any HOTD character said. Heck even ASOIAF too. The only other character who shows any care towards sex workers is Brienne of Tarth. To be the only one that can be compared to Brienne in this situation is impressive as fuck. And I will not stop reminding this fandom of that.

Maybe Aegon should have checked what kind of matching T-shirts Helaena had selected for their Disney trip before accepting.
Lesbian x Men forbidden ship part 2
Another of my favorite lesbian x male couples is definitely in the Dickinson series.
It doesn't matter what other people say...Emily had instant chemistry with Sam ever since they met.
They also had one of the Top 3 hottest scenes of the show
once again the lesbian x male ships have more chemistry than the conventional straight ships
And the way she just breezes by this, that she’s lost every hope she ever had in heaven or hell, and tell Sara to remember the moments she had something, goodbye, god I love Irma and am so sad to see her go.
As my first post on my new Tumblr blog will be dedicated to the show Faking It
The lesbian character is Amy
It's funny how the greatest chemistry of the entire series was between Amy and Liam.
They were both so hot in their scenes, Liamy is one of the best ships of Lesbian x Men

When she died, days later, she did so majestically: in formal, sumptuous robes, meticulously made up and expertly coiffed, a diadem wound around her forehead, the traditional crook and flail of an Egyptian pharaoh tight in her hands. She was 39, and had ruled Egypt, mostly alone, from the age of 18.
For Rome, who had never condescended to fear any nation or people, did in her time fear two human beings; one was Hannibal, and the other was a woman.

Antony And Cleopatra (1911) - Jean-André Castaigne

But Caesar, although vexed at the death of the woman, admired her lofty spirit; and he gave orders that her body should be buried with that of Antony in splendid and regal fashion. Her women also received honourable internment by his orders.
The Reign of Cleopatra - Stanley Mayer Burstein
We have no idea how or if Cleopatra delivered another piece of news, which likely preceded Herod across the Mediterranean. At the end of the year, she gave birth to twins. Their father was absent - he was at about this time marrying Octavia or on the verge of doing so - but the children did not want for glorious antecedents. In naming them Cleopatra made no concessions to their paternal heritage. She went Rome one better: she named Antony’s children Alexander Helios and Cleopatra Selene, at once summoning the sun; the moon; her great-aunt, the remarkable second-century Ptolemaic queen; and the greatest commander of the age, the one who had tamed even the Parthians, and to whom she alone among reigning sovereigns maintained a link. Given the way she was stockpiling successors, Cleopatra was arguably doing more to unite East and West than anyone since Alexander the Great. The sun and the moon figured in the Parthian king’s title; Cleopatra may have been sending him a message. Surely there was no better way to inagurate a golden age than with a sun god. We know nothing of Antony’s reaction to the news but Octavian’s would have been yet more interesting. In some roundabout way, Cleopatra had seen to it that the two men were, by way of her children, again related.
She did not have to broadcast word of the sensational births. News that the enterprising queen of Egypt had borne a son named Alexander - whose father was Mark Antony and whose half brother was a child of Caesar - constituted a banner headline in 39 BC. It was enough to make Cleopatra, to borrow a much later phrase, an object of gossip for the whole world.
Cleopatra, A Life - Stacy Schiff
Plutarch tells us of the death of Antony. When his armies deserted him and joined with Octavian, he cried out that Cleopatra had betrayed him. She, fearing his wrath, locked herself in her monument with only her two handmaidens and sent messengers to tell Antony that she was dead. Believing them, Antony stabbed himself in the stomach with his sword, and lay on his couch to die. Instead, the blood flow stopped, and he begged any and all to finish him off. Another messenger came from Cleopatra with instructions to bring him to her, and he, rejoicing that Cleopatra was still alive, consented. She would not open the door, but tossed ropes out of a window. After Antony was securely trussed up, she and her handmaidens hauled him up into the monument. This nearly finished him off. After dragging him in through the window, they laid him on a couch. Cleopatra tore off her clothes and covered him with them. She raved and cried, beat her breasts and engaged in self-mutilation. Antony told her to calm down, asked for a glass of wine, and died upon finishing it .
