I feel like most fanart doesn’t give me the andrew I want.

it’s described in the books of him being really strong, neil mentions how much he lifts in the gym, how he didn’t expect him to be able to shut him out for long because of his heavy racquet, and how sturdy he is. so much fanart has him around the same size and neil and having a pretty lean physique. but I want him to be buff

in my head i’m picturing him looking like a lot of rugby players. give me andrew with large biceps and broad shoulders w/ lean more runner body type neil. I need more muscular andrew pls

They Do Not Exist (1974) by Mustafa Abu Ali (watch)

from PalestineCinema.com:

Salvaged from the ruins of Beirut after 1982, Abu Ali's early film has only recently been made available. Shooting under extraordinary conditions, the director, who worked with Godard on his Ici et Ailleurs (Here and Elsewhere), and founded the PLO's film division, covers conditions in Lebanon's refugee camps, the effects of Israeli bombardments, and the lives of guerrillas in training camps. They Do Not Exist is a stylistically unique work which demonstrates the intersection between the political and the aesthetic. Now recognised as a cornerstone in the development of Palestinian cinema, the film only received its Palestine premiere in 2003, when a group of Palestinian artists "smuggled" the director to a makeshift cinema in his hometown of Jerusalem (into which Israel bars his entry). Abu Ali, who saw his film for the first time in 20 years at this clandestine event noted: "We used to say 'Art for the Struggle', now it's 'Struggle for the Art'"

Buddie stans i love you but you are being dumb af right now. Bro it wasn't Tommy it was the other guy, Deluca y'all are confusing them 💀

Suzanne collins wrote a trilogy where a main media propaganda strategy was to market a horrific act of violence as a love story to distract ppl and then it got adapted into a box office breaking movie and ppl made it all about the love triangle. so then since they didn’t get the point the first time Suzanne collins wrote a prequel story about the main dictator and she makes it so that you as a reader want it to be a genuine love story so badly even tho it’s so very clearly not and instead feels extremely unsettling to make her point even more meta which then gets adapted into another box office breaking film and now ppl are making romantic snowbaird tik toks. do u think she’s gonna write another book that’s somehow even more blatant or just give up and start executing ppl? hard to say but I wouldn’t blame her for the second one

I can't keep lying, i found out about all for the game through gacha reactions videos in 2022...😞

Bro why are people still arguing under here damn 😭🙏

This whole Sansa vs Arya shit always makes me laugh, "Sansa bullied Arya" bruh my sister used to call me a fucking whale and i used to make fun of her teeth cuz she had kind bunny like front teeth it's normal for CHILDREN who are also SIBLINGS to make fun of each other "Uuuh but Jeyne Poole also made fun of Arya" I'm a younger sibling my sister and her friend did not want me around when they were together and would usually tease me to make me leave because guess what? They were children that did not want a random ass kid in their business (and they were older than both Sansa and Jeyne). Arya teases and makes fun of Sansa too y'all i promise you that shit ain't that deep, we literally know that they love and care deeply for each so this whole rivalry y'all got going on needs to stop cuz it's getting embarrassing this girls are between the ages of like 8-11 please stop trying to make them out to be bad people, they are children and children are selfish and assholes sometimes doesn't mean they're evil

Daemon psychosexual incestuous feelings were for his brother not his mother let's be fr

Mind you arya literally assaulted sansa and ruined her expensive dress. It’s established that they’re mutually mean to each other. Some people just want them to be victims of bullying I guess, as if they’re not having larger issues at this point lmao.

Everything i'm hearing about these two gives me more proof that at the end of the day the adults (the parents) should have helped them get along 😭

Fantasy Guide to Writing a Royal Family

Royal families usually rule the plot and world of your novel. They are complex, decadent and murderous. How can we write such a large complex entity?

Family Tree

You need to make a list of the royals in your story. Add dates of birth and death. Who is whose brother? Mother? Father? It is easy to work backwards from the royals today back to the past. How does your character inherit the crown? Or how close are they to the throne? Add in uncles, aunts, cousins. Keep going until it feels expansive.

A history

Now that you have a family tree, you have to create a history. How did the family come into power? Is there any mad monarchs, heroes and saints in the family of the past? A World of Ice and Fire, gives us chapters on every Targaryen King to rule Westeros. A history gives a family a grounded feel and a rich background. This can explain the motives of a character in a crown

Infighting

Royals can be volatile. If you are a step close to the throne, you want that shit. You will kill to get it. Royal families are guilty of infighting. Cousins will fight for supremacy. Sisters battle sisters over rights and honours. Brothers may turn to murder to dispatch each other. Royal families will almost always devour themselves. Like the Houses of York and Lancaster did, leaving the House of Tudor to swoop in and get the crown.

Danger

Royals are at the top so they fall hard. People will come to cast them down. Whether it’s the people or a rival family or a foreign invader, your royal family is in grave danger.

In most cases, the boys of a royal family are slaughtered as in the Plantaganets of England with the Princes in the Tower. The Plantaganet princesses were married to Tudor bannermen or sent to a nunnery. In some bad cases, everyone dies.

The Russian/Bolshevik Revolution murdered the entire royal family: the Tsar, the Tsarina, the four grand duchesses and the tsarevitch, leaving only a couple of cousins living abroad.

In some cases the family is exiled. This is the best case scenario as they can try come back at some point. An example of this is Bonny Prince Charlie and his father.

Vox Populi

How do the people receive your royals? Do they love them? Or do they despise them? Most royal families get mixed reviews. If they do good works like giving the people peace, they are loved. Over taxation can change the people’s opinions and turn them against your royals.

Titles

Not all royals have a title. The further away from the throne you are, the less likely you have a Royal title. Prince William’s kids get the title. Prince George’s children and grandchildren will get the titles prince and princess but only the children of Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis will get it but not their grandchildren.
