itsinthetrees said: why is the possibility of heterosexual friendship more important by default than the possibility of homosexual romance. i don’t buy this argument ever tbh. sorry people are getting gay on your toys.
Anonymous asked: My problem with Theon/Robb as a pairing is how some people claim that Theon is gay and in love with Robb (and sometimes they claim it went both ways), as if completely disregarding the possibility of just friendship between the two. I could see a deep connection between the two, but I find it very hard to picture them as lovers of sorts.

in defence of throbb
tw: mentions of non-con/rape
I’ve seen conversations cropping up recently about how Throbb is a ship that only exists off the backs of horny fangirls (not that there would be anything wrong in and of itself if this was true) and I just wanted to address this and point out that there are several reasons - both intellectual and visceral - as to why people ship Theon and Robb together and why...

But like LOL at all the endless posts about Sansa being naive and delusional in contrast to Arya.
Because sure, Sansa romanticises court life and marriage and queendom.
But I’m pretty sure Arya does the same damn thing with warfare and romanticises it as something honourable and courageous.
And they both realise how much of their beliefs are illusions at the end of the first book,...

On niceness in YA Fiction
whoistorule:
If you’re like me and you read a lot of YA fiction aimed at girls, you can recognize the tendency of YA authors to appeal to (what they consider to be) their base with so-called “average,” “nice,” and “relatable” protagonists. These girls tend to be “average” looking, though that’s only on their heads. Anyone with eyes can see that their pale skin is actually luminescent, their...

Of couse, there is plenty of potential for other Daddy issues. If Aerys is Jaime’s father, Jaime killed his father, just like Tyrion killed his.

SWEET GLORY, IT’S NOT EVEN AN ESSAY I THINK IT’S A PROPER BOOK TAM. The link to the online google book version is here if you want (even though I’m sure you have a gazillion things to do). I don’t actually know if it’s any good but damn the set-up is brilliant.

There’s a critical essay out there about the medievalist impulse in American literature, all about looking at knight/queen dynamics as reclaimed by Fitzgerald and others.
