thinking about how john mulaney and the mcelroys talk about their marriages as juxtaposed to most male comedians and just like…god the bar is so low but after so many years of hearing “ball and chain” jokes it is unbelievably refreshing to hear male comedians love the absolute shit out of their wives
millennials are killing the hating your wife industry
Seriously. I mean it. Because inevitably you will love something that no one else loves. Or you will love something that everyone loves and people will shit all over it because it’s “so trite and unimaginative and done.” Or you will love something that no one else has ever heard of. Or you will love something dark and edgy and or obscure and people will roll their eyes and say, “What, do you want people to think you’re dark and edgy and obscure?”
Alternatively, you will not love the thing that everyone else loves, and you will wonder what precisely is wrong with you that the sight of that thing is aggravating the shit out of you now when the whole world sings its praises as one.
People will irritate you. They’ll irritate you with headcanons that make no sense and misinterpretations of canon. They will make the same jokes 500 times. They will overwhelm your corner of fandom with something you either are tired of hearing about or don’t care about. They will post art that isn’t theirs. You will meet people who think you are the greatest person ever and bombard you with messages only to wander off when they find someone new or shinier; you will meet people whom you admire and who do not really seem to notice you exist.
So give zero fucks about it. Seriously. Like what you like, blacklist what you need to blacklist, and ignore everything else. Be friends, play nice, enjoy it. And in the meantime, just do you. Like what you like, love what you love, and to hell with all the rest of it.
I know that Ayra is a bad ass, and Dany is a bad ass, and now y’all want to add Sansa to that list, but let me tell y’all something. Y’all wanted to call her weak and annoying, nu huh. She was a bad ass fighter from the start. Just because she can’t fight like her sister, or command armies like Dany, doesn’t mean shit. If you had put Ayra or Dany in Sansa’s position, they’d be dead within the week. She survived Joffrey and Cersi, by keeping her head in all that chaos and torture. But noooo. That doesn’t count. She wasn’t even paid attention to until she fed a rapist to his own dogs, and ended little finger. Don’t get me wrong, those were amazing things, and I screamed for her, but y’all….y’all slept on Sansa Stark. She should have been considered a bad ass at “maybe he’ll give me yours.” Like. Gurl got some big wolf balls, bye.
You know, its so sad that Arya even questioned about her own mother and brother wanting her back. The very idea that a 10 years old, after going through such horrifying and traumatic experiences, after being captured and being on the run for months, starved and scared and then forced into slave labor, thinking her own mother wouldn’t want her back, that she would just leave her be, on the streets, is so incredibly heartbreaking. Honestly, the scene were she looks at her dirty hands, and rants about being all dirty, and even tries to brush her hair so she can look nicer for her mom.
