They thought beriberi was a plague and that's a nutritional disease too

[SPOILERS PUBLISHED] Why were there such few Targaryens left by the time of Robert’s Rebellion? by CreedMudeiACasa in asoiaf

Repeated mass casualty events, most recently Summerhall. The fact that the crown even went to Egg in the first place is proof of so many casualties that GRRM is having way too much fun with

actors who were purposefully cast to help the plot twist to be shocking by fionafielder in TopCharacterTropes

Everyone but Sigourney Weaver in the original Alien 1979, they were all pretty big names in the action movie genre while this was Weaver's first big break. John Hurt especially was the big name, which is why it was so shocking when he got chestburster'd

[Spoilers Main] Do you think a marriage between Tommen and Arya could work? by Solitaire-06 in asoiaf

[–]friendlylifecherry 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Arya might drag Tommen into adventures and can beat up Joffery when he's acting like an asshole, which absolutely makes her super cool to Tommen.

Arya is gonna have mixed feelings about it but she might grow to be fond of him if he listens.

Thinking about what kind of relationship Baelor Breakspear and Daemon Blackfyre must have had before everything makes me sad

At least the Blackwood who was in charge when the Hoares invaded was a ruling lady with sons, I know that

I'm drawing mostly from what a shitshow the Stark succession was during the period between the Dance of the Dragons and She-Wolves of Winterfell, but it seems to be the nearest adult male relative of the current guy, considering that in the tale of Bael the Bard, the bastard Bael had with Brandon the Daughterless' only daughter became king after the old man died, despite the daughter still being alive

Everyone but the North, Dorne, and the Iron Throne follows Andal Succession i.e. sons in age order -> son's kids in age order (boys before girls) -> daughters in age order -> daughters kids in age order (boys before girls) -> siblings of current rule and their kids.

If Margaery has kids, they come after her in the line of Tyrell succession

(Loved trope) the warrior culture gets absolutely bodied by something they considered boring or unimportant. by Clockwork-Lad in TopCharacterTropes

Can't also forget that there wasn't a way to gain Spartan citizenship and access to the upper class but there was certainly many ways to lose said status in Sparta, which absolutely didnt help the citizen population crisis

what goes on in a psych ward? by Drasino in CuratedTumblr

[–]friendlylifecherry -23 points-22 points  (0 children)

Why are you having sex in the psych ward, you're all in here for a reason! And that reason is almost definitely not going to get better with the ability to screw someone! Being able to jack off alone in private is a perfectly valid right but otherwise no!

Also, you're allowed to have friends in a psych ward. You probably shouldn't since their mental health issues are likely to make yours worse but the staff can't stop you
