omg what does sealioning mean??

since i’m cheesy i’d probably name a direwolf something mythological like Hecate or Medea… tho i could probably get away with naming her sth basic in arabic and a bunch of people being like OoOOooo what does THAT mean

cause is still unclear, but i suspect it’s related to my currently undiagnosed and untreated GI problems, so quite frankly i should probably get that sorted soon. i had a very bad experience with my first GI doctor and have been avoiding them since, but that’s a different story. i do not have PCOS though.

as for clearing my skin up, nothing worked until i went to a dermatologist. they put me on antibiotics and prescription 0.3% adapalene (better known as differin;  the OTC product is 0.1%). i’m still on both meds and have been since november of last year i think? but yes if you haven’t seen a derm already and have the means to, i highly recommend it. they get results much faster than home remedies do, and trust me, i tried to fix it at home for a very long time before i gave up.

thank you :*

i’m okay! i have a headache and im tired and pharmacy school is killing me but i’m okay! i’m currently watching hello! my twenties and im trying with all my might to finish black sails. thanks for asking!

I’m referencing Andúril, Aragorn’s magical sword, which was reforged from the broken sword Narsil. In the poem “All That Is Gold Does Not Glitter”, the sword and its master’s fate is referenced with the lines “Renewed shall be blade that was broken / The crownless again shall be king”. So when I say that wanting Ice to be reforged follows a LoTR theme, I mean it follows a best case scenario that I think is too Classic Fantasy ™ for ASOIAF.

y’all really love the LoTR theme I’m trying to avoid 😭 i mean really if we want to be speculative then anything’s possible, though i struggle to appreciate a valyrian steel crown. that seems more like a targ thing to me.

ah see but i did warn against going full lotr… in any case, i have a hard time seeing the role of ____ in the north being anything but a shared role (again, with the dear hope that the remaining starklings survive…). funny enough, d&d almost got it right with the judge/jury/executioner gimmick they pulled with sansa/bran/arya. but they failed in that it was a very dumb way to display shared power, it lacked context, it was preceded with so much bullshit between arya and sansa, and nothing about bran or arya or sansa is right in the show. absolutely nothing. but if the remaining starklings do make it back to Winterfell, I believe they all will have roles in ruling it. I just don’t think it’ll be as narrow as the show portrayed it. 

as a little aside, i’m always a little wounded when i see arya basically forgotten as part of the hierarchy at winterfell. arya is, quite frankly, the most charismatic starkling. she is very good with people, very empathetic, she makes friends naturally, and she has sharp judgement. she really doesn’t have to be embroiled in political drama in order to be a future political player, especially not if the north is going to return to an isolationist state. but that’s a discussion for another day.

as for the valyrian steel weapon for arya, i’m partial to a dagger so that she can still use Needle. but that’s just dreamz.

okay listen up y’all…. i love sansa and i’ve been on that qitn wave (with the exception of my dear hope that bran will return to be kitn) but i don’t think she’s gonna be carrying a sword. especially not a greatsword. equating empowerment with weaponry is very narrow-minded.

my money’s on arya being the next stark to get herself a valyrian steel blade. it only makes sense.

While I want Ice to be reforged, I can also see how it might not happen. I also think Gendry reforging it is a little cheesy.

I’m not really sold on any one theory pertaining to Ice or the acquisition of a new Valyrian steel weapon. I remember reading theories about Dark Sister being rediscovered by Arya, which would be a cool way to reintroduce a Valyrian steel weapon into House Stark, but again, I’m not sold. These magical weapons are tricky bc there’s such a fine line between what can realistically happen and full-blown renewed shall be the blade that was broken and the crownless again shall be king. Ya feel?
