She has always visited her children to say goodnight, even when she was bone tired, and especially when Sandor was gone off to fight for the Dragon Queen. Sansa enters Little Cat’s chambers last, her sweet summer babe and her oldest child. She’s your spitting image, her husband has always said, even from the time she could fit along the inside of the former Hound’s forearm.

“Mama?” Cat asks softly, already nestled under her covers.

Sansa smiles softly, dropping onto the edge of the bed. “Yes, my sweet girl?”

“Would you tell me the story again?” Sansa immediately knows the one. Cat loves all stories, her darling girl, but she loves the one where her father plays the hero the most, and one of those, in particular, above all. ”Of how Papa beat the Mountain and won the Tourney of the Hand?”

The day has left Sansa’s shoulder curled in with exhaustion, but she find the strength to lift the corners of her lips for her child. “Of course.”

Sansa finds it strange how her child delights in the stories from the worst time of her mother and father’s lives—but then again, she supposes with a wry smile as she collects the threads of her tale, they are only stories the end. And she’d prefer it if Cat heard them from her, instead of Sandor and his more… colorful versions.

✖ War is not only the province of men ~ Etain the She-Wolf

When they paint their faces in blue woad it is more than just a decoration. It is a sacred rite. To the Picts, it means they’d sooner die than fail. It means, for them, there is no turning back.

I know it’s a stupid question considering that none of us could possibly be okay doing what we do, but… are you okay?

on expectations, and why i don't ship jorah and daenerys

Mon, 17 Jun 2013 14:37:06 -0400

targaryenviserys:

the basic premise for daenerys and jorah as a romantic pairing is one that’s been used in a lot of fiction - a man uses his relationship/closeness with a woman for material gain but ends up falling in love with her. he either admits to this (along with his love) or is found out, and in almost every case the woman forgives him and reciprocates his feelings. there might be a moment of tension where she’s upset (“how could you!”) but in the end, she comes around. examples off the top of my head include my fair lady, she’s all that (boy i just dated myself, and yes i know it’s basically an au of the first), and anastasia.

a similar formula is followed for the setup of jorah and daenerys: jorah, exiled from his home, seeks to use his proximity to daenerys to win favor from king robert and increase his chances of being allowed back. he sends the small council reports on her movements and doings while he travels with her khalasar and gains her trust. eventually he stops sending the reports, falls in love with dany, and is later exposed as a traitor.

Change Can Happen: Marvel Reveals Mighty Avengers Team

Sun, 16 Jun 2013 12:48:19 -0400

dcwomenkickingass:

In April of 2001 Tom Brevoort gave an interview to CBR - here is an excerpt:

“an idea that never got as far as an official title, but it was essentially “Black Avengers.” It was “Let’s put all the African or African-American heroes together on a team for an adventure,” and in those cases too, there was nothing about the idea beyond “It’s a bunch of super heroes together” that said “Avengers” beyond the fact that “Avengers” is a term that’s salable. I think there’s something very specific about what “Avengers” means to the Marvel Universe. They’re the varsity. They’re the A-list. They’re the Man. They’re not about being super heroes because of demographics or ethnicity. They stand for something specific and occupy a certain role. If you don’t have some degree of that, then it doesn’t feel like Avengers.”

Following those statements he furthered expounded on this topic on Twitter:

I said at the time that watching this conversation on Twitter was one of the most disheartening things I’ve experienced during my time in comics fandom.

Today Marvel announced a new Avengers book, Mighty Avengers.

Starting in September, it’s Mighty Avengers, by Al Ewing and Greg Land, featuring the likes of Luke Cage, Spider-Man, She-Hulk, White Tiger, Blue Marvel, Power Man…and more!

Note, yes that is Monica Rambeau. She is the field leader and her name is now Spectrum.

Here is what Brevoort said about Mighty Avengers:

“The racial diversity of the line-up is no accident, really. I’ve always responded to people asking why we don’t have a black Avengers or Latino Avengers that it feels artificial. But, the reality is that people who want to see characters in comics representing them have a point. We first started conceptualizing this book in February around Black History Month and the anniversary of the death of my friend Dwayne McDuffie. So I set out no to do ‘Black Avengers’ but more Dwayne McDuffie Avengers. I wanted to have a minimum of non-white characters but not have that necessarily be the point, then a lot of the characters who fit into what we wanted to do ended up being minorities. It’s not a ‘solution’ to lack of diversity elsewhere, but it’s something we considered.”

Earlier today I quoted Dwayne McDuffie in another post. I’m going to include it in this one as well.

“You don’t feel as real if you don’t see yourself reflected in the media … There’s something very powerful about seeing yourself represented.”

I’m glad Marvel and Tom Brevoort finally realized this important point.
