“We took this this season. I can’t remember what we were there for, whether it was a photo shoot or a costume thing, but it struck all of us that it was so rare that this many people were in one place at one time. So we were like, ‘Right. We need a family photo.’ This is obviously just a snippet of people who were on Thrones. I’d love to get a massive group of everyone who was on Thrones in one big photo. This is just what we ended up with, kind of the core group of us, minus for some reason Lena [Headey]. I don’t know why she’s not there. But it’s a really happy photo. I remember diving into the middle of it, trying to be center. The photo cuts a bit through all the shiny little faces we have to pull on press tours, and the people we are when we’re all dolled up for a premiere or a talk show or what have you. When we get on set together, a group like this, we’re fucking goofy and we play around. And I think you can tell from this photo how much everyone loves each other.”

Tags: and I don't know, i made a conscious choice, to stop reblogging got, at a time when i was bothered by aspects of the adaptation choices, but i still watch, and still enjoy got content, from a few people i follow, whose sensibilities about the show, and the richer story it echoes, add a lot to my experience, this photo and caption, feels like i can suspend the rule, for a moment.

You might need to invite him instead. Me ask him? It’s just not how it’s done. Poppycock.

Tags: and I don't know, I have seen several things only after seeing them in gif form, when I've eventually said okay okay already, and it's funny how when i eventually see the part I saw giffed, it feels so different than how I imagined, a gifset is a different medium, with its own special buttons it pushes, it's like how I felt when I first went to the opera, with gifsets vs the source video it's not quite the same thing, because the elements really are the same images, but the flow of time is different, the gifset plucks out those few moments, and elevates them, where with the video it's a flowing stream hurrying past, it just feels... different, I haven't seen this yet, but now I want to, and I wonder how it will feel.

I’m curious!
So far over 20…
Is there a deadline?
The implications of this make me sad.
what is that supposed to mean?? That when you’re over 20 your imagination is supposed to run dry?? Oh sweet summer child, you don’t want to challenge the power of imagination of a twentysomething… thritysomething… fortysomething. It gets mor colorful than your wildest dreams.
I have the feeling that someone might have told the OP that she was too old to still be writing fic. Pfffft. Let me tell you something. Once you start writing and reading fanfiction, YOU NEVER STOP.
You will pry fic from my cold, dead, mid-20s aged hands.
Once you go fic, you never go back. I’ll be 26 next week. B)
33 and reading. How could you stop, when you realize that fanfic is superior to so many published novels our there AND FREE?
ok, shit, i guess i have to do it. I am over 40… I still don’t believe it myself. And I have never written/read as much fic as I have in the past year.
Always remember that our culture discourages adult women from doing things for their own enjoyment. Adult women are meant to spend their leisure time caring for men and children and doing labour to make themselves look more attractive.
Reading and writing fanfiction is something women do only to please themselves. Adult women pleasing themselves is dangerous to a society that relies upon the unpaid labour of women.
I am 42.
Reading and writing.
I’d go so far as to characterize fandom for adult women as a kind of rebellion. For the most part, society allows men to play with their fannish loves their whole lives–whether that means collecting comic books or painting themselves team colors and game day. Women, however, are supposed to “grow out of” purely having fun–particularly when that fun is primarily created and consumed by and with other women.
Also, fandom is a leisure pursuit where women of all ages frequently interact (whether we know it or not)–which is too rare. We openly admit to *just goofing off* in order to enjoy ourselves – and do you realize how rare that is for women to speak about in our culture, much less embrace? Even in social media posts about being lazy, we’re supposed to be putting ourselves down, to some degree, but in fandom, spending the whole day writing or reading fic is something to be celebrated. It’s awesome.
Oh, and I’m 45.
Twice 20 and then some. I only discovered fanfic recently!

Tags: anyway, and I don't know, I don't know, not sure exactly what all the steps were, that led me to being mostly a fan of things women are mostly a fan of, I get into dude things like sports too, but mostly these days it's things like art and fashion and literary webseries and musicals and dance, it just resonates more deeply with me than male-skewed pursuits, and somehow along with that, I fell into woman-skewing fandom, and it's opened my eyes to a parallel world I didn't really see before, things like beautiful amazing fic, and the aesthetic judgments and commentary of women, when operating in a sphere that isn't oppressively dominated by men, I feel really lucky that the anonymizing effects of the net, have let me experience that, a short while ago in an exchange of messages, with a woman whose fan works I'm in awe of, I realized in passing that she had assumed I was female, I didn't correct her, because it really wasn't any of my business to mansplain to her about it, but for a moment it felt, like a relief?, not in a trans/dysphoria sense, I don't want to be a woman, or see myself as one, but it was nice for a moment, just to be able to relax and exist in that space, I feel grateful to be able to read fic, 53.

Because sometimes marriage can be scary.

Tags: and I don't know, talking marriage with ryan bailey, gifs, my gifs, evan gaustad, this was my favorite one from the episode, i just really wanted to gif it, i'm not sure you can really get it in gif form, or that any given person would think it was funny even in the original, but it very much worked for me, and after giffing sean earlier, i figured it was only right, to represent my love, for this 13.91 seconds of video.

Kissing in the Rain: Anne & Gilbert
Kissing in the Rain is so sweet and adorable and hilarious. It’s only two episodes in and it’s already just perfect.
Thank you John!
So hey, could this guy’s face be canon? Like he’s part of the #jily #ishipit movement, and he just posts pictures of himself reacting to his irl otp? This particular photoset would be in reaction to the AoGG trailer on the day it’s released.
THE FACE OF THE FANDOM. i love it.
Haha.
1) Yes, awesome.
2) I love how it continues to put the pressure on Yulin in terms of what she does and doesn’t canonize. Like, is it cool to canonically hoist an actual person in-world and fictionalize him? Not just a fic or a piece of fanart, but an actual person? I realize that’s what happens to actors all the time, but does a fan who posts a picture of himself automatically grant the same kind of license to fictionalize his actual face?
I assume Ricky would be all over it, and like I said, awesome! But still, funny to me that this whole thing continues to be a never-ending series of wormy can openings for Yulin. :-)
