Reblog If You Think Alfie Allen (Theon Greyjoy) Deserves Consideration For Emmy Nomination

Tilda Swinton risked arrest waving a rainbow flag in front of the Kremlin in violation of Russia’s new homosexual propaganda bill. And she wants everyone who can to reblog it in solidarity.

Guys please reblog this, it won’t ruin your blog, this is important

the writers: we have a plan for your fav character.

me: really? what’s it?

the writers:

A prominent fellow

When I was a kid, I thought he would last.

Then, I believed he was invincible.

I would draw all of my dreams in art class.

Hoping he would find them formidable.

 Growing up, he’d stay in the picture.

See, he was the most courteous there was.

There to comfort when the lights flicker.

An entirely humble man without flaws.

Getting older, I’d understand the truth.

I’d learn there were problem in paradise.

After, I was so scared to loose my youth.

But I learnt life uppermost’s not goodbye.

 I won’t worry now, I’ll try to be bold.

Hey you! Stop worrying already.

My dear friend, do not regret getting old.

It’s a privilege denied to many.

Yeah, very peaceful years indeed.

it’s hilarious to me when people call historical fashions that men hated oppressive

like in BuzzFeed’s Women Wear Hoop Skirts For A Day While Being Exaggeratedly Bad At Doing Everything In Them video, one woman comments that she’s being “oppressed by the patriarchy.” if you’ve read anything Victorian man ever said about hoop skirts, you know that’s pretty much the exact opposite of the truth

thing is, hoop skirts evolved as liberating garment for women. before them, to achieve roughly conical skirt fullness, they had to wear many layers of petticoats (some stiffened with horsehair braid or other kinds of cord). the cage crinoline made their outfits instantly lighter and easier to move in

it also enabled skirts to get waaaaay bigger. and, as you see in the late 1860s, 1870s, and mid-late 1880s, to take on even less natural shapes. we jokingly call bustles fake butts, but trust me- nobody saw them that way. it was just skirts doing weird, exciting Skirt Things that women had tons of fun with

men, obviously, loathed the whole affair

(1864)

(1850s. gods, if only crinolines were huge enough to keep men from getting too close)

(no date given, but also, this is 100% impossible)

(also undated, but the ruffles make me think 1850s)

it was also something that women of all social classes- maids and society ladies, enslaved women and free women of color -all wore at one point or another. interesting bit of unexpected equalization there

and when bustles came in, guess what? men hated those, too

(1880s)

(probably also 1880s? the ladies are being compared to beetles and snails. in case that was unclear)

(1870s, I think? the bustle itself looks early 1870s but the tight fit of the actual gown looks later)

hoops and bustles weren’t tools of the patriarchy. they were items 1 and 2 on the 19th century’s “Fashion Trends Women Love That Men Hate” lists, with bonus built-in personal space enforcement

I like Davos talking about Jon Snow like yeah he may be nothing, but hes OUR nothing! we ELECTED this nothing!

Rhaenys Targaryen - The Dragon of Dorne

Alternate universe where Rhaenys survives the slaughter of her family and goes on to get a dragon of her own? Yes please. Elia and the Martells in general deserved so much better, especially in the show, and I always had a soft spot for Rhaenys. 

Avengers: Endgame (2019) dir. The Russo Brothers

Ser Amory dragged Princess Rhaenys out from under her father’s bed and stabbed her to death.
