Teaching Your Cat How To Speak Might Seem Cool Until It Gets Out And Some Poor Sod (me) Is Left Wondering

Things my friends have said:

“That bus just clobbered a person!”

“Babies, I mean they don’t like it when I throw them out the window! Stop complaining.”

“I like stairs, very tasty.”

“The moral of the story; friends are meat shields.”

“If this man has legs after this, I’m calling the dentist.”

robert’s rebellion series but in keeping with GRRM’s “no king pov policy” we watch robert’s rise through jon arryn’s eyes a parallel to catelyn’s horror in watching her son’s royal rise and fall but this time robert rises and rises while jon gradually realizes they picked the wrong man for the crown

no rhaegar or lyanna pov either. we’re stuck between whatever they see fit to tell elia, arthur and benjen. all contrasting in what they think they know or how much they believe what they were told. the readers are as confused as the realm.

I wish it was easier to find aro / ace / aspec historical figures.

there are quite a few examples of queer historical figures, because it's easy to point at a person and say, "their letters and their living situation makes it very very likely that they were romantically and/or sexually involved with this other person." it is much harder to find evidence of a person being aspec, since the lack of evidence of something doesn't mean that something isn't there.

not to mention, the aspec is so diverse and often abstract that it's hard to pinpoint what qualifies as aspec when the person themself isn't here to find a label that they want.

I just want someone to look at, to relate to, to prove that we've been here all along.

*if you have a step-dad or similar who is a father figure but not a dad you can answer for, feel free to answer about him instead

This is only about books, for the purposes of this poll I do not care how many magazines, newspapers, etc. your dad reads. Also, for the purposes of this poll, any book that is not a novel is considered nonfiction. Referencing books like manuals, encyclopedias or phone books doesn't count unless your dad reads them cover to cover like some kind of lunatic. Thank you and good night.

I know this has probably already been done, but consider: A stereotypical trope-heavy sitcom family, but it turns out that all the annoying toxic clichés that seem to be in play are actually subverted in ways that are conversely wholesome.

Like a husband who keeps making morbid, almost sadistic Boomer Jokes about how much he hates his mother-in-law. Turns out that his wife's childhood was wildly abusive, and it is entirely reasonable of him to not forgive people who tortured the love of his life when she was a child. Wanting to throw that horrid old witch into a wood chipper is the least that he could do.

2 and 5 are cursed

if Tywin is a scumbag with zero redeeming qualities it is his fault and his alone, not Rhaegar and Lyanna's 🤦‍♂️

He killed Elia and her children not because they were a threat, but because Rhaegar married her and not Cersei. It was a punishment.

Even Oberyn said it 😭 Why do you think he sent the Mountain to kill them? Why Ned is blaming only Tywin for their deaths? He hates that man with a burning passion.

it doesn't matter who started the rebellion, there are rulers in war. Tywin is a war criminal. if Robert was a better man he would have punished Tywin. But no, he called Rhaegar's children dragonspawn....

2024 and people are still giving these two a pass
