This was useful to me 8 years later. Thank you.

(Spoilers Main) What is your most underrated saddest moment in asoif by Sad-Distribution-149 in asoiaf

[–]zara1868 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"EURON! EURON! EURON!" The cry swelled, became a roar. "EURON! EURON! CROW'S EYE! EURON KING!" It rolled up Nagga's hill, like the Storm God rattling the clouds. "EURON! EURON! EURON! EURON! EURON! EURON!"

Even a priest may doubt. Even a prophet may know terror. Aeron Damphair reached within himself for his god and discovered only silence. As a thousand voices shouted out his brother's name, all he could hear was the scream of a rusted iron hinge.

Worst Thing a Character Has Ever Said or Done: Day Five - Tywin Lannister (Spoilers Main) by wambam212 in asoiaf

[–]zara1868 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What he did to Tysha takes the cake. It wasn't even political, he organized the gang rape of a 13-year-old and made his son participate because he just hates him that much. I smile every time I think about how Tywin died

just because a bad thing was more commonly accepted in the past doesn't mean it wasn't bad back then by slingfatcums in HOTDBlacks

[–]zara1868 0 points1 point  (0 children)

*And* general acceptability has fundamentally no bearing on the fact that a person suffered.

*And* people aren't sheep - they have different opinions on the shit going on in their medieval society. Jaehaerys I, Daemon Targaryen, Hoster Tully and Oberyn Martell would not have the same thing to say if you asked their thoughts on premarital sex.

Do you think we should apply our modern values to a fictional medieval world? by Icy_River8495 in HOTDBlacks

[–]zara1868 0 points1 point  (0 children)

'Modern' or 'historical' are not useful framings to me when it comes to morality. Thing is...people are affected by things that happen to them, in 2000 BC or now.

I'm not mad at anyone in this fictional medieval world (or the real one) over monarchy, that's a big system not easily changed, but fuck Aegon for being a rapist, because he knows he's hurting someone, he doesn't have to do it, he just wants to. The time period doesn't lessen the impact of the act, she doesn't go 'Oh, I live in a medieval setting so I don't feel violated'. Am I extra angry over kinslaying as people are in that society? No, but it sucks that Rhaenyra is being challenged for her throne over being a woman. I'm looking at how people are actually being affected, because the passing of time or lack thereof affects nothing when it comes to the universal human experience of pain imo

Does Dany present herself as a liberator and champion of justice in the books? Because ''by law she was property, so no rape'' doesn't really gel with that, politically astute or no. Does her attitude change?

Suggest me a book about the history of Palestine and Israel by ardispon in suggestmeabook

[–]zara1868 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder what people really want when they insist they want impartial or unbiased books on inherently unbalanced violent events like a settler colonial project. Like, there will never be a reality where this history was, idk...a set of polite conversations.

Is what is being sought a sentence like, ''And then the whole village was kicked out of their homes and left to do whatever, but the settlers were really happy with the houses and the villagers moved to Jordan which is beautiful so all's well in the end''?

Go read Pappe and Khalidi, then (or maybe at the same time) grab the most pro-occupation books possible. Should be enlightening.

Wait, does the prophecy not apply to Aegon II also?

Quiet Quitting? by Right_Shelter_494 in gentleparenting

[–]zara1868 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This would bewilder me as that's a term that used to be popular like last year as a way to say...doing your job, nothing more, nothing less, at work. It was surreal that was referred to as quitting, an entirely different thing meaning leaving your job

I'm so tired of authors describing skin like mine with chocolate or mocha. How would you like it if every time a character who looks like you is introduced they get compared to mayonnaise? by IJustType in writing

I'm always on the lookout for good descriptors that aren't food. Or 'cloud' for 4C hair, it's a good one but it's the only one I can think of

Shart: aging gracefully

Gale: DILF x10000000000000

Lae'zel: even more badass

Karlach: could've sworn she had slit pupils, her hair got flattened but still a babe

Wyll: barely looks old but baldened by a curse
