omg
what the fuck is this interview
Q: Does Brienne have any respect for Jaime?
Christie: I think when we first see – -
Coster-Waldau: What was difficult was when we did the scenes, you had to work so hard to get rid of your private personal respect for me. That took a while.
Christie: I don’t think you’re well. I think you’re having a psychotic episode.
Coster-Waldau: No, I’ve been asleep for three roundtables and suddenly I woke up. Please answer the question.
??????????
Coster-Waldau: Also Kingsguard, right?
Christie: Yes.
Coster-Waldau: No, but there is a difference though.
Christie: Yes, but she wants to be a knight.
Coster-Waldau: You were Renly’s guard, right?
Christie: Yeah, I was one of his Kingsguard.
Coster-Waldau: And he is too. And he’s done the opposite of that.
Christie: Do you think I wasn’t establishing the point efficiently enough? You thought that you had to drag it over to show some kind of dominance?
Coster-Waldau: No. As always, I was just trying to help you.
Christie: I’m really sorry you had to witness this.
who even knows
Coster-Waldau: Gwen, God, you have to get out of that fantasy world. What really happened, I found this broken woman. Well, you weren’t in tears, but so insecure and scared and afraid of the work and I said, “Listen, we’re just actors. We need to bond. We need to spend some time together. You shouldn’t be afraid.”
Christie: Nikolaj takes 10% of my income and is my guru.
Coster-Waldau: No, that’s not true. I wouldn’t do that. You do get to bring me coffee, but that was because you like to.
Christie: And carry your handbag.
this is hilarious, but i dislike the ableism of ‘psychotic episode’.

And not to test the longevity of the Persephone myth on tumblr but if we’re throwing it at TVD think about this: Katherine is Hades and Persephone. She takes herself by the hand and leads herself into the darkness and strips everything away until she’s the cold grey queen of death and judgment. (And no one is worthy - again Hades.) She can don the spring-girl facade again, bright and lovely and vivacious, but it always carries that edge of death, winter is always on the verge of appearance, she’s changed irrevocably.

You had me at Spider-Man pushing a stroller.

But it was, it was a better life. I don’t mean all the traveling and seeing aliens and spaceships and things. That don’t matter. The Doctor showed me a better way of living your life.
(i think martha’s could have been a more significant moment? SHE SAVED THE WORLD. i could be wrong, though.)

United is fighting an all out war on sensible carbon regulation. Even other airlines think this is reckless.
I did briefly talk about this on Sunday after finding out that a friend of mine was one of the victims. briefly because it’s painful and it’s exhausting and I still don’t want to talk about it, to be honest, but here I am.
the local FBI field office, speaking to the AP, referred to the shooting of 20 people, including two children, as a “flare-up of street violence.” it’s been normalized in the national mind as a thing that just happens in some places to certain people, and everybody nods their heads and quietly agrees that as long as what happens in the hood stays in the hood, that’s normal, and nobody needs to talk about why it happens at all.
Adam Lanza and James Holmes shoot up a primary school and a movie theatre and it sparks a “national conversation” about mental health. they’re given the benefit of doubt that something caused their attacks, some circumstance or state of mind, they were troubled. people start talking about how we can stop these tragedies before they start.
Aiken & Shawn Scott—those are the names of the two young men who’ve been arrested in NOLA today, and charged with the parade shooting—may have been gang members. NOPD seems to think so, and maybe they’re right. but nobody’s asking why these kids (19 and 24 respectively) would be in a gang to begin with, why these kids might’ve felt like they had to open fire in the middle of a parade. nobody’s asking because they assume they already know: this is just how they are. that’s what they do. a flare-up of street violence.
so there’s no national conversation, there’s no talk about how to stop these tragedies before they start, because talking about poverty and race is uncomfortable, and it doesn’t bring in ratings. because it sucks when you can’t lay ultimate causal blame on some easily identified other, like the gun lobby, or the mental health profession, or religious extremism (but only if the perp is a Muslim). admitting that we caused this shooting, America, our white supremacy and our fucked up social norms and our insistence that some lives are of greater value than others.
I don’t really know what else to say. life in New Orleans is a lot of sharp highs and lows. we have so much violence that it really does start to feel like it’s normal, even though we know it shouldn’t be, in a just society. in a just society, none of these young men (and women) would have grown up feeling like violence is a natural answer to a problem. and a 19 year old kid’s problems wouldn’t be questions of life and death.
and my friend wouldn’t be lying in the hospital for doing nothing more than dancing in the street.

okay so
is bonnie really dead and free or is bonnie dead and a ghost or did bonnie do some inexplicable team up with kol for some reason???? and they’re alive or is bonnie alive and human or is it like this:
bonnie is robbed of not only narrative agency but physical agency, literally kept around to work for others but unable touch and benefit from the world on a purely personal level, white dudes are resurrected, black woman is resurrected TO BE MURDERED AGAIN BY A MISOGYNISTIC RACIST MURDERER, one white creep is replaced by another resurrected white creep, and a white abusive rapist is now made human to be ‘protected’
but bonnie doesn’t need to be protected, she just needs to be available for use. is that what i’m hearing?
and. like. did she get a single solo moment to react that was just about HER? a lingering moment to break down or steel herself or anything. (one that didn’t involve talking about/forcing herself to be strong for someone else like.)
did any of the white characters even have a reaction to it that put her above anything else?
