Do you know if anyone wrote a response fic to show!Sansa publicly talking about Bran's supposed inability to have children (with no apparent concern about his feelings, even if show!bran acts like he doesn't feel anymore, it was still rude of her) just to bolster her own position? I just want Bran to get his personality back since the NK is defeated (maybe being called Bran the Broken by Tyrion triggers a response), marry Meera and have a bunch of children, just to rub it in Sansa's face.
I can’t even think about all the bs that occurred in that episode, especially in regards to Sansa being continuously propped up as this genius and brilliant snarker when her “genius” only occurs because everyone else is made into an idiot rather than raising her intelligence to a new level, her constant rudeness is made “okay” retroactively because “well Dany turned out to be mAadd” so Sansa antagonizing everyone was just fine because she was “right”… later on, and her “snark” is literally just rude comments because telling people they’re stupid in the blandest terms ever and interrupting her own uncle who literally suffered through years of imprisonment and torture for her brother is both incredibly rude and a display of her complete lack of leadership skills (don’t get me started on cowering in the crypt and letting more vulnerable smallfolk be slaughtered before she gets talked into helping out or how she constantly takes credit for other peoples’ accomplishments and gets pissy when someone rightfully identifies that she didn’t do anything and when someone does try to be nice and tell her she did something she is, uh, rude. Or how her version of ‘ruling’ is encouraging the lords to be discontented and disobedient to their sovereign and occasionally looking like she does some counting and tells armorers how to do their own job and only actually talks about issues that affect other people when it’s a convenient but weak rhetorical device to deny hospitality to her sovereign who has come to save her butt) and after all that she spitefully throws in this assumption that Bran can’t have kids which was unasked for and unproven. I’ve probably ranted about how Bran should go have 200 bastards (and legitimize all of them) in revenge for Sansa’s comment which would also create Westeros’s biggest succession crisis. Oh and then she demands that she get to be a queen which is all very well and good since the North won’t exist anymore in about two days. That’s all it’ll take for Tormund to invade from the north and Yara from the west and she has no friends or support since she’s made such a big thing out of being a jerk to literally everyone and Bran’s response would probably be “Well hey sis you wanted your independence so why should I send my troops and food to help you, the queen of your independent northern kingdom? You made it pretty clear you hated it when Daenerys sacrificed her mission and her men and supplies to save northern butts before. I just assumed you would understand that this is what your version of independence results in.”
Sorry I just needed to get all that off my chest.
I may or may not choose to address the topic in my own post-s8 rage reaction fic but I do know of one such fic that’s in progress:
Add Color to My Sunset Sky by my buddy @lady-reed
Suigetsu: “so this was your old team?”
Sasuke: “yeah.”
Naruto: “WHAT DO YOU MEAN ‘WAS’?!”
Suigetsu points at Kakashi: “And that was your sensei?”
Sasuke: “yeah.”
Suigetsu: “what did he teach you?”
Sasuke: “chidori.”
Suigetsu: “….and what else?”
Naruto: “HE SHOWED US HOW TO WORK TOGETHER AS A TEAM AND AS ONE UNIT AND TO ALWAYS RELY ON EACH OTHER AND THAT WE ARE COMRADS AND FRIENDS AND WE NEVER LET OUR COMRADES DIE!!”
Suigetsu looks at Sasuke.
Sasuke: “yeah none of that happened.”
We’re keeping our spotlight rolling with @milomars. Milo is a queer, trans illustrator, and a plant enthusiast—he only lives with about 70 plants—based in Massachusetts. His work mostly focuses on body positivity, queer issues and relationships, while almost always incorporating plant friends. Let’s hop right in!
Thank you! Being queer is a big part of my identity. When I was growing up, I rarely, if ever, saw queer love in movies, tv shows, museums. I wanted to make art that showcased and provided a sense of queerness that I was missing in traditional art and media. I asked myself, “What do I want people to take away from my artwork? Who do I want to reach out to with my art?” This sparked not only self-realization but also a desire to represent queer love in my artwork. Representation in art, media, music etc. is so important and needs to be done fairly and by queer people.
Yes! I was really excited to share my work with HuffPost for Pride. I really wanted to focus on the strength of the community while also giving a nod to Pride’s origin and the Stonewall riots. It’s important to reflect on what Pride originally was, what it means to us today, and what is going on in the community. It’s also important to appreciate those who made celebrating Pride and queerness possible in the first place. My HuffPost piece depicts a sense of community while also showcasing each character’s individual self-love and self-pride—I wanted to reflect that relationship with oneself and one’s body.
Post art and be proud of it. Too often artists will only post stuff they think others will like or small doodles, and then remain mostly inactive because they worry that they’re not good enough yet. Also, tag your art properly. This is important because tags allow you to reach a whole new audience.
Build your community by reaching out to other artists. This will open doors to new friends, new experiences, and even good advice. It’s so important to try new things and to learn new techniques.
Lastly, keep practicing! You are doing great, and regardless of where you are right now, you can get to where you want to be. You and your art are important.
I used to use specific terms but found that the more I kept growing and changing, the more my identity and how I referred to myself changed. Sometimes labels feel like small knives to me. The more I slap on a label, the more I feel obligated to stick within the confines of that label. The term “LGBT+” seeks to be inclusive but is still an umbrella term that often doesn’t include the diverse range of identities and experiences within the LGBT+ community. “Queer” came from a desire to be inclusive, and it allows for growth and change within my identity.
Of course, this isn’t the same for everyone—“queer” can mean different things for different people and can be very hurtful so it’s important to be educated and understand that only those who self-identify as such should really use the term. But for me, the word Queer resists definition. Saying “I’m queer identifying” gives you a sense of my identity without really saying much about my gender or sexuality. Anyone who isn’t cisgender can also describe themselves as queer, as a rejection of heteronormative ideas that are forced onto them. More importantly, this is a term that was taken back from those who used it to hurt people like myself—and which has since been reclaimed by a growing number of people.
Thank you, Milo, we’re grateful for you sharing and giving us an insight into your identity and art. Tumblr, who are some other artists we should look into? Use the tag #tumblr pride to share.

Figure 1.3: Sweet summer children about to walk through a herd for the very first time
The obligatory gut smearing in every season will probably be skipped since we have James. I really admire him sticking to his beliefs. The Whisperers were a fucked up group but James is compassionate and peaceful.
Excited James is so cute😊😊 Of course Clem flexing is too😍although she did get a bit too excited with her idea…
