Yeah, that's more how I see it as well. Seems more like she just compartmentalizes to the extreme.

I…don't think that's true at all. What was she supposed to do? I'm not sure what her options were in that situation besides "die."
Does Sansa really suffer from Stockholm Syndrome? I'm not sure who her captor is whose actions she's worked hard to rationalize. If anything, Sansa has moved away from rationalizing bad people's actions—no more fairy tales.
As long as the dragons are still cute, I will watch this. Love me some cute dragons.
I was about to quote that exact comment. I want to believe it's trolling, but it could also just be a person who comments on Livejournal posts in 2014.
Oh god, how did I miss the John Green stans flooding this review? Someone call the police! Someone didn't like your shitty YA obsession!
Is powderpuff really a regional thing? I went to high school in southern California and my school had an absolutely TERRIBLE football team that nobody cared about, but we had a powderpuff game ever year. In fact, it got canceled my junior year because a group of about 25 girls got caught vandalizing the houses of…
I LOVED HOW TO DEAL. Important fact: that was the first movie I ever recorded when I finally got DVR. An underappreciated gem from the trashy teen romcom genre of the early 2000s.
I used to tutor low-performing high school students in my area, like kids with sub-1.5 GPAs. This was around the time that the Hunger Games started getting really big, and there were quite a few kids in my class who had never read a book of their own free will who started reading PERIOD because they had friends who…
I thought the darker parts of the movie were the most interesting parts, so that sounds awesome. I will check it out.
Quoth One Direction: "YOU DON'T KNOW YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL/THAT'S WHAT MAKES YOU BEAUTIFUL." (I'll show myself out).
Did you overall like the book? I actually liked the movie quite a bit but I've never heard much of anything about the novel.
That makes sense and is a totally awesome way to describe this phenomenon.
It's funny, because I was a teen girl once upon a time, and the way that YA love interests are always just automatically obsessed with the main girl was always (and still is) my least favorite part of the genre because of how unrealistic it felt. I always liked books where they were friends first and the romance came…
He's a better drawn character than Edward Cullen, definitely, but a lot of his flaws felt like things that were "flaws," maybe, but mostly just served to make him even more alluring to the target audience. If I had read it when I was still in high school, I probably would have been all over this shit, but for me it…
I wanted to like the book so, so badly (as a fan of YA books and things that make me cry), but I found it pretty insufferable, mostly because of Augustus, who pulled me out of the story every time he popped up. He is a more pretentious Edward Cullen in terms of bland teen girl wish fulfillment—only this time with…
I'm a huge John Irving fan, so I knew final Jeopardy in an instant. Very heartbreaking for me to see Julia go out on a clue near and dear to my heart. :(
Sebastian Bach is much more relevant to me as the member of Hep Alien on Gilmore Girls who was awkwardly shoehorned in once Adam Brody jumped ship for The OC. R.I.P. Dave Rygalski.
My mom says I wasn't allowed to watch it because she thinks Star Wars is stupid, but I really think I wasn't allowed to watch it because she was afraid I would become a nerd. Same reason I wasn't allowed to learn a musical instrument in elementary school. Joke's on you, mom!
I wasn't allowed to watch Star Wars as a kid and consequently didn't see it until college. I watched the first one (of the original trilogy) and fell asleep as a defense mechanism because the boys I was watching it with were quite literally reciting every line of dialogue along with the characters. I know I should…
