They Really Don't Know How To Support Female Characters Without Pitting Them Against Each Other, And

I want five! All with color changing LED lights!

This is why I say to shop children’s depts. Where else can you get a cool pink flying saucer chandelier? 

And, it comes in blue, gray and dark green to match any decor.

Okay but like...

It would still work?!

Like Scooby is a skinny drifter who who tours the country in his groovy van and pack of strays and rescues

He's not even a an actual *detective*, Mystery Machine just sounded like an groovy name for a place to trip and tune out maaan.

But he still has the *worst* luck bumming for gas and food in busted up places with costumed crazies terrorizing folk, and between his simple observations and bizarre thinking and the explorations of his unnaturally smart dogs they bust the case with hijinks

I wanted to draw Scooby doo humanized with hippie vibes, and the whole gang as dogs,, maybe I draw them more(?? 👀✨

New destination on the All American Road trip

Alright was no one going to tell me that in the middle of the Nevada desert is an old cemetery that contains the bodies of a bunch of miners who died in a fire and next door is a haunted clown motel

Why are we still setting horror movies in generic Victorian houses in the woods when this is a real place in the world

At least we'll have Kit and Emilia's bewildered expressions to that joke of a finale 😁

Comedy gold

Show Dany wasn't a charmer. The characters are either dumb down to make them follow her or are smart enough to know what kind of person she is. She wasn't that complex character. Infact her villain arc gave her some depth.

It's painful how stupid everyone had to become. We always focus on Jon, but so many characters had to be lobotomized to make it work.

Not Sansa though! :D

So do we... strike? Sign a petition to maintain Discord independance..?

The Mormont women live and breath the Mama Bear trope: fierce, loyal, no-nonsense women with their own brand of sweet tenderness who *can and will* fight tooth, claw, and sinew to defend their home and family.

Brave companions used black bear in fighting pit in Riverrun. Dany called Jorah her black bear in ASOS. His sigil also had black bear on it. Then the bear in Bear and the Maiden Fair is described as having black and brown furs. Do you think black bear is indicating something?

Hi anon!

I'm extremely ambivalent about how GRRM uses bears. There's no one recognizable theme like with dogs. The best I've arrived at so far is that bears can represent questionable mentor figures.

Sansa in the Vale is compared to a bear cub (with Littlefinger her horrible "father"), Dany compares herself to a bear cub withJorah, the fugitive slaver who both advises and molests her, then you have Jon with Jeor Mormont, who hands him the transformed family blade that used to be a bear - but was turned into a wolf, making him a pseudo "father", who is both a useful teacher AND a misguided leader of the Watch, but leaving Jon in charge of his own wolfy fate, eventually.

Arya watches the black bear kill Amory Lorch and feels reminded of Yoren, her second (and violent!) mentor after Syrio, but that same bear is turned against Brienne as a precurser to threatened rape and murder, and the bear is killed when Jaime returns to save her. 

In the song "The Bear and the Maiden Fair", the male bear is another beastly sexual predator.

On the other hand, the ladies of House Mormont are generally depicted as loyal protectors and independent leaders. Dacey is Robb’s loyal guard, while Maege is trusted to carry out a vital mission for him. Lyanna Mormont has no qualms about rejecting Stannis, steadfastly sticking with House Stark. Asha is undeniably impressed with “Aly” Mormont, who protects Asha from the fire-mad R’hllor adherents in spite of the ancient enmity between their people. 

Tormund’s story of the she-bear who sheds her skin mirrors Alysane’s story about the Mormont ladies being skinchangers who mate with bears in the woods. The bear goes her own way. No husband necessary. 

The Mormont men? Absent, dead, deeply flawed, irrelevant.

There is a clear and constant rift between the female bear and the male bear. 

If I had to make a guess, I would suspect that the bear image is about growing beyond a flawed system. The mentor that protects the various characters can transform into a weak leader, a traitor, a predator. Independence is better. Growing up is necessary. Responsibility for one’s own fate is necessary. 

Be that as a she-bear, or a wolf. (Or a dragon.)

and then they disposed of all their drugs and had a good night sleep and woke up and got all their stuff in order and put the money in a safe place, checked into rehab and got clean, and moved to some place far away and Jane became a well known local artist and they both lived out their lives and never heard from walter white (name not capitalized because I don't respect him) and had a nice quiet house. maybe Jane painted their walls. and everything was fine and they both got therapy and came to terms with their past and were together.

Toga, walking in with a sack: Guess who just pulled off a bank heist!

Shigaraki: Awesome, how much money did you get?

Toga, pulling a bag of blood out of the sack and sticking a crazy straw in it: Money?

Shigaraki: Toga… what kind of bank did you rob?

Toga, slurping down the blood: A blood bank of course! What other kind of bank is there?

Shigaraki: [heavy sigh]
