@vanillasansa @debbie_xi The gay/bi parts of the story were removed because the actors didn't want to film them.

@debbie_xi The Dreamers is as LGBTQ as a Republican senator; very much off screen and definitely not what we see.

@john_marcus_7 @spn_aesthetic He auditioned for Captain America. Had he got the part Supernatural would have ended or he would have been out.
English
@spn_aesthetic That’s the con of being a TV superstar; especially if you're on a long-running series, you’re tied to the network and don't have time to film huge movies
English
It shocks me that Jensen ackles didn't go on to be a huge movie star with his looks & fandom
English
@md_eeznuts @spn_aesthetic He auditioned for the role of Steve Rogers/Captain America. Obviously he didn't get the part but if he had I think he would have been more successful than Chris Evans.
English
@spn_aesthetic If he was 20 years younger he’d be the only dude of his generation aside from Chalamet with that level of looks ans talent. But in his generation there’s like six other dudes who can do what he does & most of them became superstars from the MCU so he’s behind them in star power

@EmT58777 @spotlesswild He wasn't but people thought he was. He's one of the few examples of a straight man getting gay bashed.

É muito engraçado pensar que vários dos medalhistas masculinos nos anos 70, 80 e 90 eram homens gays (Brian Boitano, Brian Orser, Robin Cousins, Timothy Goebel, Dick Button etc) mas quem cimentou a ideia moderna da Patinação como um esporte "De gay" foi o Plushenko, que é HETERO.
gabi@bratquad
i wish i was joking but i genuinely think part of the perception western audiences had of men's figure skating as gay in the 2000s came from plushenko just doing all that

Portland, Denver, Austin, and Nashville are midsized metros that have been labeled The Next Big Thing at various times over the past couple decades. Which city is next?

The 2010’s era Denver propaganda was crazy

@Uc_heyy02 The book reason is because he was already betrothed. I don’t know why in the show unless he already had plans to marry her off.
English
Why didn’t Viserys marry Daenerys, like Targaryens were known for?
Because he never really saw her as a sister. She was something he could use.
That whole incest tradition only worked when the Targaryens were untouchable.
When they had dragons and armies.
Viserys wasn’t thinking about legacy or keeping the bloodline pure.
He was desperately in need of an army.
And Daenerys was the only thing he had left to bargain with So he made the trade.

@avrilbradley23 Marriage is tied to religion for most people. Liberals are less religious so Marriage doesn't interest them.
English
The decline among liberal boys compared to girls is very interesting.
Nancy Pearcey@NancyRPearcey
Why do conservatives value marriage more than liberals?
English
@TheAleksee Because there's a diffence between a group going from D +15 to D+5 and a group going from R +60 to R +50. The Dems have lost the former election but the GOP has still won the latter.
English
It's weird that some people on Election Twitter are able to understand that lesser Dem margins in urban Latino areas do matter, but not lesser GOP margins in rural white areas
Ethan C7@ECaliberSeven
There’s a really strange thing on Election Twitter where people somehow think DEEP RED = NO SWING VOTERS, as if that makes literally any sense whatsoever. For some reason, the median ET brain is unable to comprehend a black candidate outrunning Trump 2024 by 13% in the South.

@tiger55335 @dcg1114 The nation moved left on gay rights,trans shit and abortion. Immigration ebbs and flows.
English
@dcg1114 Wrong, they moved left on immigration, abortion, gay rights, trans shit, and anti-Whitism
English
Since the '92 election Dems have left on maybe 1 issue: Gay rights. Maybe crime - but not much. Clinton was for affirmative action and universal health care. He raised taxes on the right as well.
People repeat this shit that is largely nonsense.
Swann Marcus@SwannMarcus89
Long term the Democrats are completely fucked. They keep moving left and 60% of American voters already think the Democrats are too liberal. The party is overwhelmingly hated and it will get worse The Democrats are only able to compete because Donald Trump is still alive
English
@illegalpiggo @dcg1114 The Democrats not did get rid of the blue dogs,the electorate did or they saw the writing on the wall and retired. They were redundant.
English
@dcg1114 In 1992 Blue Dog Democrats ruled the south and much of rural country, today they're basically extinct. The Democrats have absolutely moved left by getting rid of the Blue Dogs
Joe Manchin would not have made the top 5 most conservative Senators had he been in the Senate in 1992

@collectortreas1 Alicent is a straight up villain in the books. She's has no redeeming qualities.
English
@crime_guppy @sacraamarte No, it's Harold Godwinson. AKA Ormund Hightower.
English
@Sneakyboi123469 @sweetrevxnge In my "head Canon " the Hightowers and Daynes are related. I think George says the Daynes aren't Valeryrian but hey.
English
@sweetrevxnge Sara and Ryan kinda forgot that the base of the Hightower is made with the same oily black stone that the Valyrians use. And that in the books the Hightowers even LOOK like Targaryens(See Lynesse)
English
trying to have an “they’re incestuous aliens” moment doesn’t hit the same when he’s directly related to them 😭
English
@alphalicent They've probably had the most positve (but complicated) impact on Westeros than any other family and that includes the Targaryens. There influence stretches from The Arbor to the Wall.
Hightower
Gardener
Lannister
Arryn
Stark
For the win.
English
i really like that the details on ormund’s armor look like drawings you might see in a cathedral, hightowers are unique in the sense that they’re the only house that host a religious institution so it’s interesting to see how that religion is tied to their houses culture

@batboysagogo @RobinA37833672 @big_cheddars @normal_jake_ No, the lowest level would be legitimate hedge knights. The Fossoways are a relatively wealthy noble house with a castle of their own. If the hierarchy of Westeros was interpreted from a "feudal" system, the head of house Fossoway would be roughly equivalent to an earl.
English
“ummmm actually a Fossoway wouldn’t be allowed to marry a prostitute”
Papa Fossoway when he finds out his twelfth son found a wife he doesn’t have to pay a dowery for:
English
@batboysagogo @big_cheddars @normal_jake_ The Fossoways are married into Tyrell. They wouldn't be able to if they were noble.
English
English
@Lamergier2 @cercent The Hightowers may not be first men except in a technical sense. Their ancestors probably arrived to Westeros before the people we call the First Men got there. They had another name before Hightower we just don't know what it was.
English
@cercent Not actually his line but this is 100% a valid take for House Hightower to have. They’ve been wielding incredible power in Westeros longer than anyone except maybe the Starks and are the primary patrons of the stabilizing forces of order the Targs are constantly upsetting.
English
@big_cheddars @normal_jake_ We've read them enough to know what happens to prostitutes and mistresses in Westeros. Just ask Tyrion or Tywin's father's mistress. Rowanne probably dies of spring sickness next year and Raymun marries Gwin whose dowry helps Ray purchase the land for New Barrell.
English
@normal_jake_ You can tell the people complaining about that have never read the books because a large part of both ASOIAF in general and The Hedge Knight in specific is that if you bullshit hard enough you can just make up an identity, and Rowan is clearly clever enough to do just that.
English
One of my friends said the most jarring experience was to watch a video Audrey Tatou doing a scene in a Amelie or something similarly quirky, and then hearing the director declare “cut” and seeing Tatou revert to her “real self”
2001 Live@25YearsAgoLive
A new French film starring Audrey Tatou, “Amélie,” premieres in theaters.
