Yeah, looking at the baby names for girls that would be in high school today, it would probably be “Emilys” (or better yet Emmaleees or Emmyleighs).

Seriously! He grabbed that hand, and you could tell all he was thinking about was how to bottle that shit up into some wight poison.

Yes! Naming Jon Aegon made no fucking sense to me. Thank you!

Ahhhh I remember when this came out!!! Holy shit!

You know it’s gonna be bad when they spend 75% of the time describing every strand of hair. It’s like the shittiest fanfiction.

Yup, completely messed up my ankles because I was promoted to pointe too early and was never trained properly before starting pointe. To this day I have trouble wearing heels and when I was in sports I had to wear an ankle brace to make sure my ankles wouldn’t roll out spontaneously. Ballet is no joke, even if you are…

I had a really hard time adjusting to sports culture in the US. I grew up in Brazil and went to a small private school where if you wanted to be an athlete, you had to play all the sports they offered, which in a way was kind of awesome because they acknowledged that you wouldn’t be the best all the time. Everyone who…

Does she realize this is a child? Jeez. Sure, athletes push themselves, but it is ridiculous to think that something like this could be acceptable for someone whose body isn’t even done developing yet.

Yup. The freeze frame is quite enough, thanks.

I love Short Term 12, too! Met Destin Cretton a while ago, and he actually worked in a facility like that. All of my social worker friends (I work in nonprofits—there are a lot :) ) are fans of that movie. Larson was fantastic in it!

Yup, my GS job had the most LGBTQ-friendly atmosphere, and I’ve always worked in government/non-profits. Lots of openly LGBTQ+ staff members, senior leadership roles, volunteers, etc.

Not to mention getting frequently beaten and sexually harassed by Joffrey/his Kingsguard until Tyrion stepped in (it’s more prominent in the books, but it definitely happened in the show). All of this while she was only 13/14 (maybe?).

The math does check out, as long as you squint hard enough and believe that Gendry can run 10 minute miles in knee-deep snow.

How do you explain the Waif’s bloody face on the wall when Arya was talking to Jaqen before she left Braavos, though?

I was screaming at my TV. Thank goodness Jorah realizes he does not deserve that sword. Also, Jon is reasonably skilled with a sword but definitely needs the boost Valyrian steel provides compared to Jorah, who has decades more combat experience.

Yup. Arya even says something like, “I would have died before betraying my family.” And yes, she would have died very quickly had she been captured in King’s Landing, because Arya is not suited to handle Cersei’s manipulation. Sansa did what she had to survive, and Arya did what she had to survive, and why can’t they…

Yup, time is basically meaningless on the show now. I loled when Sansa made that comment to Brienne about how long it takes to get to King’s Landing. It would take a long time if we were still in season 1.

Yup, someone I knew in college, who is now in her 30s, posted, in excruciating detail, all of her fertility treatment process, pregnancy, labor/delivery, and post-partum ER visits after complications from a C-section. I know entirely too much about the state of this woman’s cervix. We weren’t even that close or…

Ted Cruz is up for reelection in 2018. Beto O’Rourke (Democrat Congressman from El Paso) is running against him, and his campaign seems to be shaping up nicely (I hope).
