Reblogging Again Even Though I Already Receive A Blessing The Last Go Round

They really don't know how to support female characters without pitting them against each other, and it shows. Its not impossible to like *both* Stark sisters, you know.

Ship girl stans like to talk how she is the champion of the smallfolk and the trash talk Jeyne Poole an actual commoner for calling Ary@ "horseface'' way back in the book one, i swear to God some of them did not move from the AGOT and it shows

That's pretty much all Sansa antis, not just the shipcels. They're mentally stuck on book 1 and never left (it also explains why they all still think Ship Girl is an oppressed underdog and Dani is still being victimized).

The thing is, yes, we saw Sansa at her worst there (though that's not saying much when other characters' worst is murder or rape) but we also saw her at her most innocent and sweet. I never had a problem liking or empathizing with AGOT!Sansa and it's weird to me so many people do.

Also, if they wanna judge the Starks in book 1, they should talk about Jon's moodiness and Ar.ya literally beating Sansa up. They're lucky their faves don't get negatively judged by first impressions.

For one, their Deaths are complete polar opposites, bit still very very good at what they do and are amazing to behold

DON'T THINK OF IT AS DYING... THINK OF IT AS LEAVING EARLY TO AVOID THE RUSH

"You do that too much, you know what you get? FAT PIGEONS!"~

is good omens in the same universe as the sandman?

No.

Keep it up @neil-gaiman, it will be over soon

Your assumption is infinitely funnier than me typing up a 4k word essay on why that expression is apropos for the man who pulled the queen mother of political long cons to *become* Emperor Palpatine

This is the funnest expression ever pulled in all of starwars history

Wyman Manderly from ASOIAF

A walrus selkie whose human form is a short stout bald man with a muttonchop beard that still kind of looks like a walrus

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

Hail to the queen, baby.

Here’s one good thing to come out of 2020:

Paleontologists completed a life-sized replica of Sue, the most complete T. Rex ever found.

And she is freaking GORGEOUS!

As I read more about this beauty, I found out some new details regarding things I thought I previously knew about the beast that was Tyrannosaurus Rex, and I’m going to share them with you.

First, and most obvious, her size:

This is nothing new, we all figured T. Rex was big, but I for one never stopped to consider exactly how big it was. Nobody ever really knows what to imagine when they read about something the size of a whale that walked around and ate everything it could kill. 

Speaking of eating things, I just want to remind you all that T. Rex had–by miles–the strongest bite of any terrestrial animal living or dead, somewhere around six and a half tons of force. That’s over six times greater than the current estimate of what Allosaurus was capable of, and three times what was delivered by the highest measured reading of the living title holder–the estuarine crocodile. It didn’t have to waste time swinging its head open-mouthed like Saurophaganax for a little extra oomph, or grow fancy serrated teeth like Carcharodontosaurus to cut pieces out of its prey. It opted for the simplest approach: get its mouth around something and crush it to death; imagine the full weight of an elephant on whatever was between this thing’s jaws.

“How did it find something to eat?” I hear you asking. “It can’t see something if it doesn’t move, right?”

Listen, I love Jurassic Park too, but that’s a big crock of shit.

Notice how both her eyes face forward. That gives her binocular vision (the ability to focus both eyes on one target, like you and I). More importantly it means she has impeccable depth perception due to overlapping fields of vision from each, large, eyeball. Researchers agree that T. Rex not only had incredible vision, but that it was probably better than most modern animals–including eagles, hawks, and owls–and that she could likely spot something three and a half miles away. If something that big can see that well, it doesn’t matter if you move or not, she’d be able to tell if it was an animal trying to hide or a piece of vegetation. So pray she isn’t hungry if she lays eyes on you. And even if by some miracle she didn’t see you, she’d still smell you. 

If she decided you looked tasty, you probably wouldn’t hear her coming as much as you’d feel her. Modern science indicates that T. Rex didn’t roar like in Jurassic Park, but rather bellowed or maybe even hissed like crocodilians. If she were on to you, you’d most likely feel this sense of unease creep up your spine as a low-pitched rumble in the air permeated through you. You wouldn’t know what it was or where it was coming from until you hear her footfalls. By then it’s too late–you could try to run but she’d probably catch you. There’s plenty on YouTube that reconstructs what T. Rex may have sounded like, and it’s legitimately haunting.  

To wrap all of this up, the one bit of good that came out of the cursed year that is 2020 is that this wonderful child of science and art came into the world, and reaffirmed my respect and admiration for the eight ton slab of muscle and teeth that is this magnificent creature.

…and it is nothing if not magnificent.

America needs to step up its political verbal judo

absolutely brilliant

Same energy

The funniest thing about the NFL's "End Racism" end zone logos (which they put in post 2020 BLM protests instead of actually doing anything) is that every now and then you have a shot that just says "RACISM" in big, bold letters across the screen.
