My favorite theory is that Jon is a Targaryen, Dany dies, Jon and Sansa realize they aren’t related, and they get married and rule the Seven Kingdoms together.

There was a time, when Sansa was in hiding with Littlefinger, and she came down in Black hair and black dress and started to manipulate those around her, that I said “Sansa is showing us how Cersei became Cersei.” At that time, it was true- she was a spoiled noble girl who nobody took seriously as they did her…

All Sansa wants to do is protect, feed, clothe and armor the North and protect it from the Lawful Evil Ice Zombie Army to the North while remaining mindful of the vengeful Chaotic Neutral bitch on the Iron throne who wants her dead.

Cersei’s wig is distractingly bad. Like, what color is that.

The default Sansa hate drives me crazy...at every opportunity she has tried to give control of the North to one of her brothers. She could have fought against Jon becoming the King in the North and she had a much stronger claim than him. She could have told him, I want the throne and the only way you’ll get the North…

Thank you for this. This is meaningful and actually gives me some comfort.

All life is suffering. To live is to suffer. If you suffer more or less than I do, along a shorter or longer timeline… There’s not really that much of a difference as both pain and time are relative.

time and pain are both relative.

I wonder if Melancholia had a point about depressive people handling some stuff better. This makes me feel sad but not overwhelmed, and I think part of the reason is that I’ve thought about death (my own and humanity’s) at some point during almost every day of my adult life.

Meh. “Self” is an invented concept anyway. You are nothing but a semi-related sequence of energies firing around inside organic gray matter. Covered by a fragile shell that is frankly pretty unimpressive. Other than music, Batman and thin curst pizza… Humanity is generally overrated. We’re just monkeys who figured out…

As a queer (yes, queer!) woman who actually works in the community and doesn’t just know some people, this is completely untrue. For the most part, it’s a widely accepted term and not just applied to”formerly bisexual people” (people still identify as bi, friend) or whatever you are saying.

But I still take umbridge with individuals adopting marginalized identities just because they don’t like the trappings of their assigned and lived gender.

Oh, boy.

“Edgy straight people?” Really? There’s that annoying subset of the kink community where straight people say they’re queer because they’re kinky, but other than that, I cannot think of a legitimate reason to call a queer person straight.

This isn’t accurate. Queer is absolutely a term used by all manner of people in the LGBTQ community. Politely, your anecdotal evidence doesn’t mean much. Also, I’m sensing some bi-erasure with your comment about “actual” gay people, and the insinuation that bi people can somehow avoid being the target of slurs.

There’s debate about it. In my experience, younger folks tend to see it as a blanket term that avoids excluding groups and is neater than the alphabet soup acronym. Older folks tend to not want it to be used as a blanket term because of its history as a slur. I use LGBTQ to be safe but basically there’s no consensus…
