got some new followers because of that abortion post so let me be clear:
- my feminism is sex worker and trans inclusive, swerfs and terfs fuck off do not reblog from me and do not follow me
- this blog truly is 80% me using it as an outlet to complain about things and 20% fandom posts, it’s not gonna be a font of wisdom re: politics, feminism, abortion rights, etc. so if that’s why you followed I will not be offended if you reconsider

I had been doing so good at knowing which Alanna a post was about, and then I saw this post with your profile picture and I *did* think it was Alanna of Olau and Pirate's Swoop for multiple seconds. I was like "Wait new content? Wait why is OP even joking about expecting explicit sex scenes?" And then it clicked that no, this is the Alanna from the gif set two posts above and the other gif set immediately below.
lmaooooooo
I mean tbf, I also would be keen to see Alanna of Olau and Pirate’s Swoop penetrated multiple times 👀
all Alannas deserve all the penetration representation their horny hearts desire 🤝 amirite??
She came out here to help the dragon reborn and honestly? She is not having a good time right now

I was keen to see Alanna get penetrated multiple times but this wasn't what I meant.
I saw Marin's quilted flower jacket and instantly thought of Egwene in ep 1. Not as similar as my memory made it but I still like the callback!
Poor Alanna
I loved how this season (and especially this episode!) tied together SO MUCH of Perrin's arc that we've seen so far. It really feels like this is the moment it's all been building towards.
His wife's death. Violence is hard to control and may hurt people you care about. Running into the Tuatha'an. Nonviolence is another option, that takes a different kind of strength. His interactions with Dain and the Whitecloaks. People's intentions and their actions don't always agree; people can be twisted by grief to perpetuate cycles of violence, and the only way to break out is to choose to stop.
We can now look back on all of that as threads in the story of how he thinks about violence and non-violence - when to deploy violence and when to choose not to - leading him here:
Lord Perrin Goldeneyes, who knows that the Two Rivers must fight or be destroyed. Who wants to send Faile away to be safe but listens and trusts that she can handle herself in battle. Who makes a deal with Whitecloaks he knows might turn on him because he can see it's the only chance they have. Who desperately - desperately! - wants to kill Padan Fain but holds back because he knows he can save more lives that way.
SO. FUCKING. GOOD.
I would like to once more formally rescind any complaints I made previously about the give Perrin an s1 wife choice he’s absolutely the most emotionally grounded and mature of the boys of course he would have got married off in this small town at age 20.
And as I thought they would, they’re also using her death as a way to make his overprotectiveness towards Faile in the books make more sense than just being a factor of how RJ’s male characters often have an obsessive need to protect women.
