“Reagan Is Killing Me,” Gay and Lesbian Freedom Day, San Francisco, California, June 28, 1987. Photo by Saul Bromberger & Sandra Hoover. The first cases of AIDS in the United States were reported in 1981; President Ronald Reagan gave his first address on the subject on May 31, 1987, weeks before Pride celebrations took place across the country. By the end of 1987, over 40,000 people in the United States were dead from HIV/AIDS-related illness. #knowyourhistory (at Market Street San Fancisco)

ASOIAF meme: 2/4 songs or stories ♦ the Knight of the Laughing Tree

“There was one knight,” said Meera, “in the year of the false spring. The Knight of the Laughing Tree, they called him. He might have been a crannogman, that one.”
“Or not.” Jojen’s face was dappled with green shadows.

[…]

“Oh.” Bran thought about the tale awhile. “That was a good story. But it should have been the three bad knights who hurt him, not their squires. Then the little crannogman could have killed them all. The part about the ransoms was stupid. And the mystery knight should win the tourney, defeating every challenger, and name the wolf maid the queen of love and beauty.”
“She was,” said Meera, “but that’s a sadder story.”

like, okay, Targaryens are bad, unless it’s Jon we’re talking about…

dragons are bad, unless Jon gets to ride one, then they’re suddenly cool…

Targaryens are abusive and evil and mad and their House should cease to exist, unless Jon embraces his ancestry in order to claim the Iron Throne and conveniently marry his sister, then they’re amazing and badass and deserve a million babies…

Targaryen incest is the actual worst, unless it’s Jon and Sansa rolling around in bed…

…you see where I’m going with this? Dany antis have this hypocritical, weird-ass relationship with everything Targaryen. they love to hate on the House, if it benefits their fave and/or their ship, but at the same time, they also want to have a share in its prestige, symbolism, weapons… 

…and y’know what, it’s transparant af.
