The Season 8 Carols Announcement: Voting Officially Opens!

Just a couple of short months after Game of Thrones season 8, and it has nabbed all the Emmy nominations money can buy. As a figure of speech, of course. This record-breaking achievement, spear-headed by showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss sure tells us one thing about awards shows: we need even more ways to celebrate the greatness that is Game of Thrones. The Emmys, and all those other stupid shows, can’t possibly capture everything!

Well, luckily for everyone, we here at The Fandomentals have already planned for this, with our 4th [sort of] Annual Carol Awards!

The Season 7 Carol Awards: Voting is Open!

Well, it’s that time of year again! And not at all a month or two later than originally intended!

That’s right everyone, Game of Thrones’s fantastic, award-worthy Season 7 ended two months, and we’re still not over the fact that it aired to late to get the recognition it clearly deserved at this year’s Emmy Awards. So we’re here to rectify that with the 3rd Annual Carol Awards (in memoriam of a our Good Queen Carol, even if her replacement Cheryl is doing her best).

Is there a deadline?

YES, and I’m gonna add that to the article right now. Thanks for the reminder!

Voting will close at 8pm EST/5pm PST on Thursday, November 16th.

Julia and Kylie celebrate the ending of Game of Thrones Season 7 by…answering a bunch of asks all about it!

Podcast reblog. This season really was just a ball of nothing. At least last year gave us some stuff to laugh at.

Can you believe 14 year old azula delivered the best line of any villain ever “don’t flatter yourself. You were never even a player” iconic

Actually the best line of any villain ever was, “Maybe you should worry less about the tides, who’ve already made up their mind about killing you, and worry more about me, who’s still mulling it over.” Also spoken by Azula, age 14.

Game of Thrones is Still Sexist: don't all gasp at once

I’d like to tell you a story of a woman, kidnapped and enslaved at a young age. Hollywood would be tempted to tell the tale of her becoming a jaded, hardened badass who fights back against such a system, freeing herself and perhaps exacting revenge on her captors. There is an empowerment in that, sure (even if it’s not inherently healing), but in speculative fiction there’s much to be gained from experiencing the lives of women outside of this Stock Type too. Amazingly, the story I’m describing did exactly that.

As promised, my piece on sexism for Season 7.

this is it.

me @ d&d: you disrespected her. you annulled her marriage without her consent or knowledge. you delegitimized her children. say her name!!!

Julia, Kylie, and Caroline say goodbye to Game of Thrones season 7 with tears in their eyes. Tears of what, we’re not sure exactly, but between Littlefinger’s mistrial, tepid boat sex, and a battle cardigan, there was plenty to dissect.
