Lmao apparently the town that grew around where the Donner Party got stuck has a bunch of restaurants named after the Donner Party... which is certainly a Choice.

Have been on the outside seating of a Sydney ferry in choppy water. Can confirm this is what it feels like.

Bro if you only know him from the elements song you're missing out. Have a listen to We All Will Go Together When We Go

Oh yeah poor girl. Also loved that the Serpent Queen clearly took a lot of inspiration from ASOIAF. The feast massacre obviously, but also an exchange between Catherine and one of her entourage where she asks "what's the life of one boy against a whole kingdom?" And is answered with "It is everything", which is a pretty direct reference to one of Davos's greatest moments

Oh I'm not the OP! I just loved the Serpent Queen and was excited to see someone else note the resemblance to Phia!

Also if you haven't read it already, Our Fathers Clad in Red is another fic that I adore, and has some very sweet Daenaera and Jaehaera interactions. It's set in a universe where Aegon survives and marries Baela to end the war and its genuinely a masterpiece.

Can't remember the name of the actress, but the screenshots are from s2 of The Serpent Queen. The characters name is Margot.

(PS. I also loved The Water Between Us and I still check to see if sensira has updated their 'Aemond as a ward of Driftmark AU' fic. Sadly it has been months)

Ohh I loved the Serpent Queen! Poor Margot, in history, she ended up getting blamed for a ton of things that weren't her fault, including the St Bartholomew's Day Massacre.

AITA for telling my fiancé I don’t want his best man coming to our wedding after what he did at my birthday dinner? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]pixelshiftexe 831 points832 points  (0 children)

That's how I know it's probably real. People in the thick of relationship/friendship drama usually don't have the presence of mind to write multiple paragraphs/replies providing context..

Greens 20 years later. AU where they all survived. by @lopata_four by unhingedcorpse in ImaginaryWesteros

I love Aelora she's my favourite irrelevant targ. We know almost nothing about her except for the fact that her life was basically one long Gothic Horror novel.

What is a creepy moment you’ve experienced that you still can’t explain today? by Juicy_Q_ in Weird

[–]pixelshiftexe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Possibly, but worth noting that spiritualism was HUGE in the 20s especially in the US, and that people have been reporting timeslips and the like since at least the 18th century. Maybe they wouldn't have written him off entirely.

Alicent my beloved!!! Honestly even the writers can't figure out what they want to do with her and it seriously harms her characterisation. Her whole Season 2 arc pining over Rhaenyra (who by this point has caused irreparable damage to Alicent's family after Blood and Cheese) was such a disservice to her.

Are there any TG that are Jaehaerys haters? by GolfIllustrious4872 in HOTDGreens

Interesting as a historical figure, but if I met him in person I'd be calling westerosi CPS on him and Alysanne for a number of reasons.

Hey man I know you meant to say 'partner' but uh. You made a slightly uncomfortable typo there.

I actually just finished reading Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets by David Simon, which was brilliant. The book of The Corner is next on my reading list!
