Hahahaha this is amazing. Antiques Roadshow is probably my #1 favorite show on television but sometimes I’m just like “are you SURE that weird piece of art is worth $150k? REALLY? you’re POSITIVE?”

Yeah this is a really really clever application of a theme that doesn’t end up just off somehow. And really, $65,000 for a gorgeous wedding, for 100 people, and probably good food/open bar? That doesn’t seem unreasonable to me if you have the money and want to spend it that way.
I wonder if people who are holding up the other ‘HP’ wedding here as clearly superior have ever actually created ornate crafts. Because I betcha that this “superior crafting couple” spent a LOT of money on craft supplies. It was cheaper only because they did the labor - you still have to pay for the shit involved.
Wait, so spending money on your wedding means your relationship won’t last?
This honestly wouldn’t shock me at all.
(I know, I both knew that and have already been corrected - I’m re-reading the books and watching the show and keeping up with new episodes and it’s caused everything to go haywire in my brain.)
I just love Sophie Turner. SO, so much.
I think the only difference is if you can prove that you sacrificed more than the (presumably breadwinner) in terms of career/salary/what have you you can sue for more than would normally be granted you. It’s basically a way for women (statistically speaking) to be like “Well this asshole had me give up my career to…
He has to prove that he was coerced into signing the prenup, or otherwise had the wool pulled over his eyes so to speak, in order to win that case. Even here in Cali, if you willingly sign a prenup you essentially waive your right to half.
And Dorne has never been conquered, so it would be an excellent place for a New Dragon Stronghold.
but she thinks she’s SO DAMN GOOD at it and I’m just like bitch go take lessons from Grandma Olenna.
Yeah it’s not really emphasized in the show, but Dorne is 100% Team Targaryen.
The most amazing bromance of all time that BETTER FUCKING CONTINUE.
plot twist: the Others are not actually bad, they’re trying to figure out how to save these idiot Westerosis, and Benjen is up there kicking it with them waiting for the right moment to show up to be like “Yo Bran we gotsta go back bro and save the fucking WORLD.”
Oh yeah that’s right. Shit I can’t keep the Targaryen’s straight to save my life. Rhaegar probably would have actually been a pretty good king. Because really, it’s not like Robert turned out to be all that awesome.
I think she was at least infatuated with Raeghar - he’s pretty unilaterally considered the best of the Dragon-Bunch. Like he was a good dude who probably would have made a great king, but as luck would have it his nutso brother was older. He was also the one married to the Princess of Dorne, which is why Dorne is…
Replying to bump this up. The whole damn bill is some medieval fuckery that needs to be completely repealed.
And for fucks sake, Cersei admits she was in love with Robert and if he had shown her HALF A KINDNESS basically none of this shit would ever have happened.
Yeah I’m with you there. He’s a dick, and deserved to die, but he definitely stood his ground and stuck with what he believed was right.
You’ll also notice that whenever Robert droned on about how in love he was with Lyanna there isn’t a whole lot of reciprocation. Like yeah, sure, he clearly was obsessed with her (an obsession that’s essentially started another civil war, way to go Robert!), and they were going to be married, but that doesn’t at ALL…
