A Random List Of Weird Things I Read In GOT/ASOIAF Fics, In No Particular Order:

to say that Alec’s behavior in season one towards clary stems entirely from his complicated relationship with jace is just ignorant. like im not even trying to be rude, it’s just not canon at all.

Regardless of whether or not you feel clary, jace, and izzy were justified in their actions, you have to acknowledge that they broke the law.

They went on unsanctioned missions, they went to the city of bones, they disregarded orders.

Even if you agree with their motivations, you have to understand that they broke the law on their own accord. And in doing so, they undermined Alec’s leadership. Even if they didn’t mean to.

And then when confronted about it, they often used his sexuality as a reason to justify this. Again, whether or not it was intentional is a matter of opinion.

Clary runs away? “Admit you love jace” Alec questions jace’s judgment around clary to izzy? Izzy asks if he’s just jealous. Alec and jace are fighting? Jace accuses Alec of making decisions solely because of his feelings.

Keep in mind that Alec is not out yet. Alec is not comfortable with his sexuality. The clave is homophobic.

So yes, Alec was unfair and rude towards clary in season one and had more than a few problematic moments. But clary, jace, and izzy undermined his leadership which resulted in the clave questioning his capabilities and his almost arranged marriage, refused to listen to his logical concerns about their decisions, and used his sexuality for their own justifications.

To say his actions resulted solely from his feelings is to deny the facts, to promote the predatory gay stereotype, and diminish the complexities associated with his relationship towards clary and the developments he’s made throughout the following season.

Oh, this is incredible.

i know people make these kinds of posts with fictional characters a lot but like. hank green truly is one of The Most Guys Ever. like. he's one of the earliest youtubers who is still on there. he's a 43-year-old tiktok star. he's a science educator. he got cancer and his response was to make a tier list of the press's coverage of his cancer announcement. the president of the united states sent him a message of support and he told the president that he was pissing out the cancer. years earlier he was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and his response was to write a polka song about it. he created vidcon. he's the ceo of a company that produces a shitton of educational series (well, not acting ceo at the moment due to the aforementioned cancer). his guitar says "this machine pwns n00bs" on it. he invented 2D glasses. one of his earliest videos to get popular was about animal sex. between him and his brother, he was known as "the science one" (or "the music one") while his brother was "the writer one," and then he wrote two new york times bestselling novels. his most controversial opinion is that butt is legs. he's done so many things that there is a website dedicated to counting the number of days since he started a new thing. he and his brother use their internet following to (among other things) fight maternal/infant mortality in sierra leone. he has a baked bean furby. hes even bisexual

no but seriously I am fascinated by Connor and Willa because I feel the longer they’ve been together the more I think she DOES care for him. like I don’t get the feeling that she is in love with him but I think she does love him. she knows that she can be comfortable if not embarrassed with him, she knows he’ll support her dreams and take care of her even if he’s wildly ridiculous. he is manipulative and he can be awful, like proposing to her in public and socially trapping her into an engagement, throwing fits regularly when he doesn’t get his way, and keeping her out in a weird ranch -

but she doesn’t want it to end, she offers to keep seeing him but living in an apartment in the city. even if that is for the financial security, she is comfortable with him and would prefer to keep their arrangement going. she can tell him about her failed play, nobody asks her to defend him to his wealthy siblings, nobody asks her to demand he keep his coat, and she is not powerless to leave. seeing her waiting in bed, the relief on Connor’s face, the resigned acceptance on hers, I really think she doesn’t want to leave him partially for the money but partially because she knows enough about him and cares enough to dread hurting him the way everyone else has?

it doesn’t mean I love them together or I don’t find their relationship to be fucked in many ways, but I am so obsessed with the sprinkle of what we get

Sam Carmichael from Mamma Mia is literally fucking insane, dude got invited to an island by an ex girlfriend he hadn’t seen in 20 years, 24 hours later he proposed to her and <5 minutes after they got engaged they were walking down the aisle

This man has TWO sons, he consulted neither of them whatsoever before making this decision, imagine your dad going on vacation to Greece and then when he comes back you have a new stepmom

He HAD an engagement ring at Sophie and Sky’s wedding, he bought one BEFOREHAND just in CASE

I always wonder whether Batfam fans really get just how fucking rich the Waynes are. Like of course we shy away from thinking about the fact that we're talking Musk and Bezos money, and focus on how Bruce funds the freaking Watchtower and has what is functionally a high-tech military base and lab and the world's most expensive vehicles. But this is the one time you don't have to factor in the implications of wealth-hoarding, so there's nothing preventing y'all from understanding exactly how much money we're talking about here.

For instance, there doesn't seem to be any concept of how palatial Wayne Manor is, simply going by the outer facades of it that appear in the comics and movies. Or how decadent the lifestyles that accompany that kind of ancestral home. Alfred couldn't run that place on his own even if he had super powers, which is why even the movies occasionally show a rotating probably-temporary staff in the background. The house probably has like 3 hundred-foot pools. Their garden is a protected heritage park.

The Waynes are 10x richer than Crazy Rich Asians. They buy and wear the jewelry worth hundreds of millions that belonged to royalty. They own private islands. The art in the house alone is worth more than the GDP of a small country. They went to school with like every US President since Teddy Roosevelt and still think the Rockefellers are new money. They're personal friends with Beyonce and can get her to perform at private parties. They can rent out an entire three-star Michelin restaurant and fly out to one for every date. They have top-line penthouse apartments in every major city in the world. They can buy a luxury sportscar instead of hiring a vehicle anywhere they visit and then just toss the keys to the nearest person on their way out (Arab royalty is known for this appearently. There's been some very lucky parking valets in the UAE iirc).

Bruce is as rich as Ra's Al Ghul, regularly make social calls to heads of state and his family has a history of being king-makers. Every one of Bruce's children, from Dick to Jason to Cass, is poised to inherit one of the largest and most powerful fortunes in the world. That means every time Bruce adopts an orphan off god-knows-where, the entire global elite is thrown into consternation and horror. Even Tim is barely acceptable to these people because he doesn't have the pedigree. I don't follow the reboot comics so Idk if Duke is adopted, but it would be so fucking funny if he was because they'd react a lot like the British establishment did to Meghan Markle (except the family and WE would have Duke's back completely). As for Damian, the fact that he's not white would get him snubbed if everyone who's anyone didn't 100% know who Ra's Al Ghul is. And they're fucking terrified because, for maximum hilarity, they probably figure that Bruce doesn't.

I just find it incredibly fucking funny when I'm reading fics that the writers can only imagine Bruce and the kids's civilian privileges extend only to "big house", "a lot of cars" and "Gotham famous". Lol. Lmao even.
