“When I run my hand across a page of poetry I do not want oil and onionskin, I do not want slick bullshit; I want my hand to come away with blood on it. And God damn you if you are otherwise.”
—Charles Bukowski
“Nothing irks me more than the vocabulary of social responsibility. The very word ‘duty’ is unpleasant to me, like an unwanted guest. But the terms ‘civic duty’, ‘solidarity’, ‘humanitarianism’ and others of the same ilk disgust me like rubbish dumped out of a window right on top of me. I’m offended by the implicit assumption that these expressions pertain to me, that I should find them worthwhile and even meaningful.
I recently saw in a toy-shop window some objects that reminded me exactly of what these expressions are: make-believe dishes filled with make-believe tidbits for the miniature table of a doll. For the real, sensual, vain and selfish man, the friend of others because he has the gift of speech and the enemy of others because he has the gift of life, what is there to gain from playing with the dolls of hollow and meaningless words?” —Fernando Pessoa

Oona Chaplin just tweeted that she spent the morning “learning how to shoot a bow and arrow.”
Ooooh I hope that Talisa gets to fight alongside her husband like a real wimmen!!!1 Mebbe Robb will survive teh Red Wedding cuz of his baaaaadasssss queen!
(Seriously, what are they doing to this character?)
I just cling to pre-series Lannister feels. life is much happier that way and I can just live in my bubble of denial before jaime even joins the kingsguard~
yes. smart. this always works with my cersei/jaime shipping.
I envy you. I can’t even make Tywin/Joanna happy. I WANT TO LIVE IN DENIAL. CRYING. WHY CAN’T LANNISTERS JUST BE HAPPY ALL THE TIME. I HATE WESTEROS. I WANT TO TAKE THEM ALL AWAY FROM THAT HORRIBLE PLACE.
it’s really not that hard!! plot twist: everyone likes the lannisters and they all like each other. joanna didn’t die. cersei was queen and didn’t have to marry anyone. tyrion marries shae or finds tysha again. jaime became the knight he always dreamed of being. tywin laughed all the time. they created a dynasty that lasted a thousand years. tywin told his children he loved them whatever they would do as long as they would be happy. tyrion was raised as heir. jaime and cersei get married and have a fairytale wedding. every person in westeros wants to be them. cersei is taken seriously. tyrion and cersei always got each others back. jaime bonds with his children. tywin controls joffrey and he grows up to be like jack gleeson. sansa weds into the family and it’s even more beautiful than in her songs. joffrey is her prince and she gives him sons with beautiful golden hair. lannisters have friends and allies everywhere. their parties are legendary. they still think they’re better than everyone else, but it doesn’t matter cause everyone else also thinks the lannisters are better than themselves. they get compared to the gods. jaime is the best swordfighter ever and inspires his men on the battlefield, his armor never gets a scratch. people still thank him for killing aerys. cersei and joanna are best friends and talk about everything together. maggy the frog never existed. saturday night is family night and they all play boardgames while drinking expensive dornish wine. everyone cheats. final race is always between tyrion and myrcella. jaime only wins at twister. tywin at monopoly. when she grows older myrcella gets casterly rock. tommen outlaws beets. tyrion is so smart he starts inventing things. bubble baths. microsoft. dragons bow down to them and everyone gets what they want. lancel joins the circus.
NONE OF US SIGNED UP FOR THIS. I WANT A NEW HOUSE. THIS ONE HURTS TOO MUCH. TRANSFER ME TO THE HOUSE OF FLUFFY PILLOWS AND CHOCOLATE.
I JUST WANT MY HOUSE HAPPY. I WILL JUST GO IN DENIAL AGAIN. IN MY MIND THEY WILL ALL BE HAPPY.
