I'm so mainstream

linndechirI needed a way to spend the afternoon with procrastination (rather than write my fics for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
got_exchange and asoiaf_exchange, or write those kink meme fics I want to write (whaaaat, part of me really wants to write graphic Melisandre/Stannis rape fic), or write some more about young Stannis and bb!Renly, or get started on my huge Stannis appreciation post for game_thrones), so I finally, a hundred years after everyone else, got a tumblr account. I have no fucking clue what to do with it, tbh. Mostly I created the account so I could follow other blogs more easily, but not that I have it, I feel like I should use it. But somehow tumblr feels so ... self-indulging to me. Like you're talking to yourself. And posting to yourself. Even more so than LJ. I just feel silly posting rants there (because I've got LJ for that), or pictures that everyone has already seen anyway.
But, question to you, dear f-list, do you guys have any tumblrs I should follow? Or can you rec any tumblrs that may be relevant to my interests? So my tumblr account can stop looking so sad and lonely and empty? It's like a Stannis account, all alone with no friends. In case anyone cares, my username over there is the same as here. I'm too lazy to come up with something new every time I join a new site. linndechir.tumblr.com
Btw, I'm sure everyone has seen it by now, but the Game of Thrones comment on the newest Castle episode was just wonderful. I love this show so much.
And I already got started a bit on my appreciation post by looking for quotes, and there's this wonderful passage in ASOS that sounds suspiciously like Tywin having a tiny little fanboy moment about Stannis. It makes me happy.
“You are aware that Lord Varys has sent fishermen into the waters around Dragonstone. They report that only a token force remains to defend the island. The Lyseni are gone from the bay, and the great part of Lord Stannis’s strength with them.”
“Well and good,” announced Pycelle. “Let Stannis rot in Lys, I say. We are well rid of the man and his ambitions.”
“Did you turn into an utter fool when Tyrion shaved your beard? This is Stannis Baratheon. The man will fight to the bitter end and then some. If he is gone, it can only mean he intends to resume the war."
But I realised that it's the Bastard of Nightsong Stannis left on Dragonstone ... Somehow I assumed before that he was with Edric Storm, but he isn't, he's on Dragonstone. And if the Lannisters&Tyrells took Dragonstone, does that mean he's dead? :( There was no mention of him in the books, and I don't think anyone cares because he's a minor character with nothing to him but an epic nickname ... but that alone makes me want him to survive. He's the BASTARD OF NIGHTSONG, FFS, and a king's man ... Of course he needs to survive. :( Also, I love how Stannis judges people (well, men at least, not women) on their personality and their deeds, not their parents. His BFF is a smuggler, he leaves a bastard to defend Dragonstone because he apparently trusts him ... Oh, Stannis. <3 I think I need a Stannis tag.

Date: 2011-09-29 06:07 am (UTC)Some accounts I would recommend are: fuckyeahgotcast, jon-ho (Don't ask, just follow), georgerrmartingerbil, asofai, textsfromwesteros, aaaand that is about it for 'communities'. I have a few others, but those are mostly Tyrell ones, because in addition to being addicted to Tumblr, I am also addicted to the Tyrell family. I also have some non-community Tumblr accounts I could recommend, that post cool meta's and graphic posts that involve ASOIAF.

Date: 2011-09-29 02:35 pm (UTC)I like some of the older Lannisters (Tywin, Kevin and Gemma FTW, I love all three of them so much), but Tywin's kids just make me want to go on a killing spree. ;) I'm mostly a Baratheon person with a soft spot for some Starks. 'cos Stannis/Sansa must rule the kingdoms. ^^
Sure, take your time. :) I just wanted to tell you in case you had missed the post.

Date: 2011-09-29 08:24 pm (UTC)Anyways! Some good personal Tumblrs are: misscherribomb (mostly silly ASOIAF posts, but she's a sweetheart and sometimes posts graphis and gifs she's made), the-wolf-queen (she a) runs the ASOIAF Tumblr RP I am a member of and b) is a big Robb Stark fan. So if you like the Starks you'll like her), Pympin (another ASOIAF fan. Mostly reblogs, but she's a lot of fun), martinusmiraculorum (Meta-man! He does a lot of ASOIAF discussions and has a lot of interesting views on the characters), kissed-by-ice (makes AFOIAS graphics and also shares in my love of the idea of Mark Strong being Stannis), leontina (again, mostly reblogs, but she also sometimes makes graphics), and finally housetyrell (she posts graphics and occasional drabbles/fanfictions)
Hope those interest you!
