I saw the Mongolian hoarde at war and cheered. That shift on the horse to shoot arrows? Gorgeous.

Mandarin Orange is my most favorite. If you are in Kansas, I may be the one buying all of your Mandarin Orange. Sorry not sorry.

Kroger Sparkling Water is the shit. I started with LaCroix because my friend had bought it and I thought it was tasty, but I am Middle-Class Broke and could not afford the crazy $10 for 8 cans or whatever it is. Tried the Kroger brand and I AM NOW A BELIEVER.

I like this intepretation. This may be my favorite friendship in the MCU, aside from the Bucky/Falcon/Cap road trip comedy I have playing in my head.

I was in western KY from 1990-1996, and it was by FAR the weirdest place I have ever lived.

Question: Do you think Natasha knew Cap’s “nurse neighbor” was actually a SHIELD operative all along?

I took it in 2000, and it was still very similar. We spent an inordinate amount of time focusing on the “midnight judges” and the various tax rebellions of the colonists and the early Americans, and had about 2 weeks to blow through WW1, WW2 and the Vietnam War before the AP exam.

Then the AP exam asked us something…

Did your HS boyfriend grow up on the West Coast? I moved around as a kid, and I discovered that the aspects of history focused on were very specific to the region of the United States I was living in.

In Kentucky, it was all colonialism and the “War Between the States” with an emphasis on the role of border states.

I think part of the Cold War fascination in history books is the people writing them actually lived through it, so they 1) have more intimate knowledge of the subject and 2) magnify its importance based on how it influenced them directly in their lives.

We are finding this presidency completely fascinating (and…

Had. I believe she died fighting in Robb Stark’s army.

Is the assumption that Dawn is Valeryian as well? I know it hasn’t been mentioned on the show much.

Ice was melted into two swords — Widow’s Wail and... Oathkeeper? I thought Joffrey’s sword was buried with him and Jaime’s Valeryian Steel went to Brienne. (And does Jon know Brienne has part of his father’s sword?)

Am I the only person who didn’t interpret this scene as a sign Arya can’t go home again? Arya has already had this character development; she isn’t No One, she is a Stark of Winterfell. I took her meeting with Nymeria as reinforcement Arya’s journey home was the right one — she belongs with her pack, as Nymeria, a…

Thank yous are always appreciated. Being a constituent matters when you want to influence decisions.

I think it’s a new troll. Haven’t seen it around before, and has been talking smack on many a thread today.

Your dad is awesome.

I want her to say the “lone wolf dies but the pack survives” to him right before he’s run through by Arya. Or eaten by Nymeria. Either one works.

Oooh, I like this theory. And I like you and your insights!

People are REALLY pushing for there to be this massive divide between Sansa and Jon. Maybe I’m naive, but I don’t think the rift there is as deep as everyone is acting.

That looks lovely! Purple is my favorite color, and that is a great shade!
