I just read this lengthy ass blog post about a lawsuit stemming from a private Facebook mom group.

Fucking white people.

Yeesh, these people.

Oh I remember the ‘05 version of it too and it was no better. So instead of the black pants and naked tops, it was bootcut jeans and cheap (quality) Express tops (or I think Forever 21 emerged around this time). And it is cold in Chicago so for 60-70% of the year you had to wear those ill-fitting “fancy” tops with…

See, you’re too early. This was more of a 2005 look than a 2000 look.

All I want is a top that doesn’t require me to wear ANOTHER top underneath so that my bra doesn’t show. Why is everything so see-through?!

At my mid-western college, if you really wanted to take your “going out” look to a whole new level, you added black (business???) pants to your fancy top and there was your Friday night outfit.

Lol “jeans and a nice top” has been my going-out go-to for decades now and YOU WILL NOT TAKE THAT FROM ME!!!!

GOP intern: “Ok, we’re almost done with our website on diversity. Does anyone have any Asian acquaintances we could post?”

Yup. Bleach blonde hair and a non-moving face are ‘I’m middle-aged but want to look 25' starter pack. Anyone with that hair and all that work is gonna look like an older woman trying to look young, no matter what age they are.

Wrinkles on your face used to make you look old. Now that frozen, shiney, puckery face makes you look old. Too much work too soon has made her look like someone trying to look 36.

Not only was her book not a hit, but it was also roundly criticized as being the epitome of using every clueless White Savior tropes in the book.

I’ve never liked Arya very much (I did love her, however, like most GRRM’s characters :)) but the way she’s behaving atm makes me hope it’s some sort of ploy to catch Littlefinger in the wrong or sth. Because if it isn’t it’s just heartbreaking.

Make up is also a way of building community for lots of young people (men and women), a form of self-expression, an artistic outlet... it’s a lot more than a waste of time.

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?).

I think Jaime said they left the Unsullied with an empty castle, so no need to go in and kill them when they just have to barricade them in and let them starve to death. I was just thinking that I would not put it past the Unsullied to cook and eat the dead if they have to so they might still be able to hold out for a…

Also it’s clear in the scene that Sansa had thought she successfully talked Joffrey into sending Ned to the Wall, which indeed was what was supposed to happen. When Joffrey flipped the switch even Cersei couldn’t stop him.

Let’s also not forget that Arya put herself into a lot of the dangerous positions she has been in because of her quest for vengeance - she could have pretty easily been an anonymous scullerymaid somewhere far off from Kings Landing. ./ Whereas Sansa has always been a captive and has constantly been afraid of being…

I love that section of the show, when Sansa almost kills Joff and the Hound stops her, becuase he knows even if it killed Joffrey, it would go badly for Sansa. He was always so complex.

I always appreciated Sansa precisely because of what you describe there: the fact that her “badassery” is coded as “feminine” - she doesn’t have to learn “badass” fighting techniques to survive, she uses the weapons she has as a “girly girl”, so to speak. I think season 2 shows this so incredibly well, how she defies…
