I freaking applaud parents who have the balls (metaphorical or otherwise) and good sense to leash the runners. I was a runner. I was a leashed kid. The leash is why I’m alive as an adult. And as an adult I get plowed into by unleashed runners. Happened at the zoo, kid cut my knees right out and it was one of those…

Again, this exhibit has been open and in this design since the 70's. In ALL that time not even one person adult or child has breached the anti-human barrier, the zoo in question is moving toward putting up what is essentially a giant greenhouse for the gorilla enclosure that’s more in line with the all-year enclosures…

Not for nothing, but in at least two other instances (Jambo, male silverback, Binti Jua, female) the gorillas in question either watched over/kept other gorillas away from children knocked into their enclosures, or actively gently carried the child to a service entrance they knew to be used by their caretakers. If the…

So, did they go with the Pacific out of preference or because they knew the Atlantic’s been married to the Doge of Venice for a super long time and it just isn’t ready for another relationship right now?

They’re playing the Game of Faces wrong in the TV show, it wasn’t supposed to be a “tell me the truth or I hit you with a stick” more the “tell me a lie so well I can’t detect it. if I can, I hit you with a stick” so it’s very frustrating to see Arya not picking up the skill of lying/acting flawlessly to fit with…

The Faceless Man In Westeros is one of the most confusing and like “Wait, why?” plots in the book and the show for me. In the books, we are totally unsure who the target of the Faceless Man formerly known as Jaquen was supposed to be getting. I assume if you can change faces, why on EARTH would you be lingering in the…

Also I feel like Melisandre could have piped up at that war counsel like “Oh ok so I helped make a shadow baby to kill a guy who was kind of a dick and then under my influence turned into the WORST dick, pretty sure my cooldown’s over and I can pop out another one to kill a dude with 0 redeeming qualities! WHO WANTS…

I was like STUPID happy when I saw the sheer NUMBER of ships that left with Yara and Theon. YASSS QUEEN. You done infiltrated the Dreadfort like a BAWSS to rescue your Patty Hearst’d little brother. Also you know your kingdom is a garbage kingdom when your crown looks like a failed pinterest wedding project and you…

In all the sadness and misery, THIS was giving me the life I needed to get through the rest of the weeping sad “Oh my god I fucking swear two direwolves in one season AND MY HOMESLICE HODOR?! YOU TRICKED US. We were feeling OK! AND THEN YOU KILLED IT OH Tormund is smiling at Brienne and she’s not sure how to feel…

Get that girl some MOON TEA. At least Sansa would want that as opposed to poor Lysa Tully in the books who was basically taken to the Westerosi Planned Parenthood kicking and screaming to keep her lil’ Finger baby.

This is all getting a little too Game of Thrones-y for me.... Except with less violence which is almost a shame!

I think that may be the huge, totally unavoidable problem with *all* of Westeros. Very, very few of the ruling families and Warden families know jack shit about the nuts and bolts of anything except warfare. It’s considered “beneath” many noble families to have a kid go to the Citadel (even the Wall is better than…

Also she got like 0 education on anything useful because evidently the secret Targaryen Contingent was like YEAH! This weasel face Viserys is totally king material! But I don’t think ANYONE in Westeros in the upper echelons gets actual comprehensive policy education, I think the only person we see getting that type of…

The whole “lets play a game where I guess stuff about your past” thing with him shows honkey does NOT GET IT. Like well that’s fucking easy if you know like ANYTHING about the unsullied or slave life in Essos.

Dany basically busted in and was like “YA’ll FREE NOW!” and then set up no social programs, no farming…

From the first jaw drop when Brienne road in where he was like “DAAAAAMN GIRL!” to the chicken eating eye banging, Tormund is in luuuuuuuv. She is a bear of a maiden fair to that wildling homie. I am all about the fact that he is all about her. SHE DESERVES IT. Girl no more unavailable gay dudes or sister lovers.…

Dream scenario - Ned only PRETENDED to hurt Lady (hey! Cersei never got her direwolf pelt like she asked for), but really loosed her out there where she promptly joined up with sister Nymeria and they are leading a mega pack of boss wolves, who join up with Ghost and Shaggy (who has been hiding in the crypts randomly…

Part of me feels for her, I had a back injury that made my left leg hella wonky (I can’t flex/push up onto the ball of my left foot as my nerve got wrecked), and as a result high heels are MUCH harder than they were, and anything that hasn’t got a strap is pretty much a no go. I insisted on wearing heels to a job…

So I *finally* know how to monetize the raptor rescue for big cash. We’ll bring the owl (and wear some dank robes and hats!) for ring or speech or whatever dropoff AND for an extra thou, ya’ll can have a 1 hour photo sesh with the owl and handler for you and your guests. Several species available, some way more chill…

If he bore any resemblance to his weasel faced brother, I have a feeling that pretty boy Jamie was the *actual* prettiest boy in Westeros, but having “heir to the crown, not insane!” attached to your description probably ratchets up your relative prettiness.

Would become queen to yadda yadda screen door in a hurricane. But like, christ, the Westerosi STDs you’d get would have to be unreal.
