so apparently when my sister and i were little we took golfing classes and we got kicked out after a week. the reason being that the old white male instructor kept calling my 4 year old sister Maria “Mary” after she told him several times that her name is pronounced Maria. anyway, at one point, he tells her “well, that doesn’t matter anymore. you’re in America now.” and that distressed my sister so much that she hit him with her golf club.
that’s not what did the damage, though. what fucked that old dude up is that i saw my sister hit him from where i was standing and i ran over and started beating him with MY golf club. my mom says that i didn’t know what the hell was happening, but i squared up.
that’s why we got kicked out.
I support your unconditional readiness to throw hands for your sister
solid but workmanlike house words. good implicit threat. could have been a bit more poetic, but then again, so could most of the Boltons 7/10
House Greyjoy: “We Do Not Sow”
really just a sentence that deserves a polite “oh?” in response 3/10
House Lannister: “Hear Me Roar!”
a good and fearsome lion image, but undercut by the exclamation point which frankly by lannister standards is trying too hard. if you asked tywin lannister about this, he would tell you with quiet irritation that the exclamation point was not his doing 9/10
House Arryn: “As High as Honor”
very poetic and elegant, and a nice reference to the Eyrie. clearly means to instill admiration rather than fear, and it works. unfortunately, also invites humorous drug-related double entendres 8/10
House Tyrell: “Growing Strong”
needs serious reconsideration! implies that house tyrell is not already strong! all for the sake of a weak pastoral pun! 2/10
House Stark: “Winter is Coming”
unbelievably goth. not only promises the destruction of you and all your loved ones but also possibly of the starks and all their loved ones. the ultimate buckle the fuck up house words 11/10
House Tarly: “First in Battle”
nicely aggressive! but ambiguous. does this mean house tarly is first onto the field, or first numerically when the winners are ranked, because that’s not really how battles work. it must also be said that these house words sound like a high school superlative. 6/10
House Targaryen: “Fire and Blood”
good use of dramatic standalone nouns. very threatening, if a tad unhinged, which is a decent summation of house targaryen. at least they’re honest about it 8/10
House Martell: “Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken”
are you tho.
9/10 if read alone but 5/10 when read with the cruel dramatic irony of the series
House Tully: “Family, Duty, Honor”
the worse of the two mottos separated by two commas. unlike “Fire and Blood,” none of these nouns is romantic or exciting enough to inspire my loyalty. sounds vaguely like a westerosi sequel to eat pray love 4/10
House Baratheon: “Ours is the Fury”
the perfect house words. confident, dynamic, and unifying. also thrillingly catchy and filled with the thirst of war itself. would be so satisfying to scream before riding onto a battlefield 10/10
Anyway, Yasha’s first reaction to meeting the M9 at the Wayfarer’s Cove is definitely the type of reaction you get when acquaintances invite you out for drinks, but you’re like; ‘Oh no, I think I’m actually staying home and going to bed early today, I’ve got a headache…’, and then you accidentally run into them at 2 AM while barhopping with a different group of friends.
If you have a child and they are creeped out by a nephew or older brother touching them or looking at them a certain way, you need to have a serious talk with that person and keep them the hell away from your child. Don’t minimize it or tell your kid to hug them anyway, that kid is picking up danger signals they don’t even understand yet. But so many families will tell that kid they are being a brat.
thankyou
A quick note- this applies to female relatives as well. One of my aunts ignores my little brother’s requests not to hug or kiss him (he has aspergers and doesn’t like physical contact with people he is not very close with). I have repeatedly placed myself between the two of them and had to tell her to back off and stop trying to “desensitize” him. Whether or not there are “danger signals,” it is not okay for adults to invalidate a child or teen’s request for boundaries. We need to teach children now, when they are young, that they can say no to these things and that other people can too.
Furniture has been a part of the human experience for many thousands of years. Evidence suggests that furniture was used as far back as the Neolithic period and daily life without it is unimaginable.
