I would watch the HELL out of a documentary about the fall of GOT!

As @jabletown pointed out to me, this isn’t even a guaranteed fallout from a show ending with an unsatisfactory ending. Star Wars’s sun has not dimmed. Supernatural is undergoing a renaissance. The story I tell is about being at a comic con in Fall 2019, the same year season 8 premiered, where there were two fan favorite GoT actors in attendance, and almost zero merch in the artists’ alley. I thanked an artist for having some stuff up, and he said he was having trouble selling GoT themed merch - not even official merch, but fanart that wasn’t even supporting HBO. This was less than a year after the show ended. And this is a sentiment I have heard again and again. Meanwhile the tables everywhere were littered with decades old fandoms, nostalgia fandoms, fandoms based on canon with disappointing and criticized endings. There were countless Harry Potter and Buffy things, things from crappy horror movies and crappier scifi, but people were interested. X-Files had an atrocious ending and you can still find things for it! What I mean is, a series ending or even having a bad ending is not always a death knell for the fandom, but the way Game of Thrones pissed people off en masse should be studied in media school.

‪I [27 M] have a massive crush on this girl [21 F] but hate her family. I told her that I’d still like to marry her despite her poverty and how annoying I found her mother & sisters. But she said that I was ‘the last man in the world whom I could ever be prevailed upon to marry’!! ‪AITA?‬

The ride to the hotel might’ve been five minutes, might’ve been five years, it’s impossible to tell with the waves of heat rolling over him, each one draggin’ him further under than the last. He can see it hitting Elizabeth too. Can see her shudder with each break, her eyes gleamin’ and locked tight on his.

There’s a halo flarin’ bright and gold around her curls where she’s backlit against the city night rushing by, making her look like some kind of stained glass work of art installed in a church to worship. He knows it’s whatever they’re on, can tell from the rainbow edges forming on everything around him, but he can’t help laugh a little, helpless and bitter.

She’s ‘bout as close to sainthood as he is.

I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair. I hate the way you drive my car, I hate it when you stare. I hate your big, dumb combat boots and the way you read my mind. I hate you so much it makes me sick — It even makes me rhyme. I hate the way you’re always right. I hate it when you lie. I hate it when you make me laugh — Even worse when you make me cry. I hate it when you’re not around. And the fact that you didn’t call. But mostly I hate the way I don’t hate you.  Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.
