Anyone got predictions on who the Prince Who Was Promised is?

Please note Melisandre confirmed that "prince" is gender neutral.

Ready? Go.

@Thenomain In my head she looks like Aubrey Plaza.

@Pandora said in Game of Thrones:

THIS IS A SPOILER

Slow-clap for Lyanna Mormont. She was amazing, she died exactly the way she lived, sticking it to the man who thought he was bigger and badder than she was. Fear just wasn't in her soul and Westeros is worse off without her in its future.

ugh now I have an idea for a Lost who gets her Glamour juice by inciting angry fanboys and reaping their distress.

An Ares/FS3 version would set my heart pitter-patter.

Is anyone watching Jonathan Van Ness' Gay of Thrones recaps because they are spectacular.

"George RR Martin, please write and write faster!"

@Lotherio said in RL things I love:

@Ghost

My go-to gif when dealing with anti-Semitic folks who want to blame Jews for the death of Jesus.

@Rucket When Disney ruled that visiting adults were no longer allowed to cosplay in the parks, a culture of "Disneybounding" was born. Basically, folks use Disney characters, rides, even park food etc. as fashion inspiration. And yes, Marvel, Muppets, and Star Wars count. There are even unofficial "Dapper Days" where people bring their bounding A game and dress fancy.

So one of the things that always bugged me about myself was that I didn't really feel I had sense of "style" in terms of how it related to who I was. What I put on my body was basically whatever was necessary not to get arrested and not feel exposed and conform to whatever standard my workplace required when necessary.

In the past few months, I've actually started to care. I've tried out stylist services like Dia and Stitchfix, and having recently discovered ThredUp, I am totally obsessed with it. (4 pieces of tags on/like new clothes for under $100? YES PLEASE).

I've also discovered Disneybounding, and I'm obsessed. I don't live near a park anymore, but a lot of people do it in their every day lives and I think it's amazing.

At any rate, I may have a grown up closet soon! In as much as I am a grown up.

My place of employment has a classic arcade standup game, loaded with about 300+ classic games on it. I don't know where it came from, but it came with the power to turn a great many of the men in my office into assholes.

I was playing a bubble popper game this afternoon and one of the menfolk ambled up and started chanting, "High score, high score!" to encourage me I guess? I didn't respond to him, and before he walked away, he sneered, "You're going to have to be faster than that."

This is the second, maybe third time I've dealt with this. Just leave me the fuck alone and let me have my decompressing bubble pop game, OKAY? FFS.

Got called a racist today because I told someone they were using the word "triggered" incorrectly.

@Jaded I enjoyed individual performances, mainly Ian McShane and Daniel Dae Kim and the girl playing Alice.

But the film was pretty much doomed as soon as they cast Jovovich. Not necessarily because Jovovich is a bad actress (which she kinda is) but because with rare exception, her movies are always high level ridiculous.

Why does no one show love for Into the Badlands? It's an amazing show, and I'm super bummed that this is its final season.

@Aria From which candidates?

@surreality I feel like I just witnessed some slam poetry

@Ganymede Because everything's legal in New Jersey?

My maternal brothers were playing D&D when I was born. Not literally. Like, not, "Mom's in labor, roll a D20!" but you get the idea. By the time I was a toddler they dressed me up in drag and taught me the lyrics to Sweet Transvestite. My mom took me regularly to Broadway matinees.

I was a reading prodigy from an early age - I was clocked as having a high school reading level in the first grade. Of course, this was the southern rural Oklahoma public school system, so that isn't saying much. Still, I corrected my teacher's pronounciation of Greenwich Village in 1st grade, and bringing in The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe into my second grade class resulted in neither them nor the teacher understanding it at all.

In the third grade, having seen a Life photography article that had horses done up as unicorns, I told me teacher that unicorns were real. We argued about it.

I've had Star Wars action figures as a kid, right alongside my Barbies, took the neighborhood kids on little D&D style "quests" in our apartment complex as part of our play time, glommed the Dragonriders of Pern by the time I was 12 or 13, inevitably embraced horror, comics, and seriously, it's just always been there
