Can we all please understand that being mad at Chris Brown isn’t racist in and of itself - what’s racist is not being mad at all the white guys who have pulled the same shit he did.

TW: DOMESTIC ABUSE
Another thing I don’t get in all this white clamor to be the loudest and most indignant critic of Chris Brown (and the grammy’s which are basically coded as black) is that none of these people can even fake pretending to care about how Rihanna feels. Maybe a domestic abuse victim doesn’t want you referencing how she got “the shit beat out of her” on an awards show...

The thing that gets me about when people hate cersei is like, they always pick the dumbest “bad” things she’s done. Like pushing Bran out a window, which she didn’t technically do. You know what she did do? She pushed her friend down a well for knowing her secrets. HOW AWESOMELY EVIL IS THAT????
But
no one talks about that.
Even though it was awesome.
And also evil.

Claire Clairmont, or: your faves could never
Five reasons you should love Claire Clairmont:
#1 - from a letter she wrote to her step-sister Mary Shelley:
“If you would but know your own value, and exert your powers you could give the men a most immense drubbing; you could write upon metaphysics, politics, jurisprudence, astronomy, mathematics, those highest subjects which they taunt us so with our being incapable of treating,...

God, you guys, I love commercials sometimes. Can you imagine the large-scale battle of conflicting emotions going on inside a teenaged girl’s heart if she opened her door and Justin Bieber were standing there - with a bag full of Proactiv products for her?

If you do not understand
that A Song of Ice and Fire is one giant deconstruction of your standard fantasy tropes
and the women are as important as or more important than the men
and not just scenery
then you
are
reading
wrong.
Sorry about your unimpressive intellect.
Affectionately, a woman (quelle horreur!!!) who is gleefully stomping all over your precious boys-only fantasy treehouses

– an explanation on why there shouldn’t be more male nudity in the show, because “That would be like me going to the Twilight board and asking for more explosions, sex, and action. That movie wasn’t geared towards my gender.” (via fuckno-asoiaffandom)
