Littlefinger has been showing his true colors since season 1. Throughout the series to this point, his colors have only been confirmed and reemphasized by other characters as well, so it's genuinely a surprise to me that anyone would still be surprised or disappointed by him at this point.

2025-09-06 16:54:46 +0000 UTCI was so pissed off about Ros! She's kind of the reason I got so into the series! When I first watched the show only the 1st 2 seasons had come out, and I was so worried they'd kill her off, so I decided to google her character, to see what happens to her in the books, to prepare myself. She isn't in the books! Which of course worried me, that meant absolutely anything could happen to her. But while looking that up, I went down a rabbit hole of theories and articles about the series, which made me realise how deep the book series was, and I had a basic understanding of where the story would go. I was so angry after Ros died that I almost quit watching the show! I chose to watch season 4, because I wanted to see certain things that were likely to happen that season, and when season 5 was releasing, the first 4 episodes were leaked early, so I watched them, but I had fallen out of love with the show by then. I got back into the series after the show ended, and I saw people talking about the book series in comparison, and now I'm obsessed with the books. It's been great revisiting the early seasons that caused that, through your reactions though. People always talk about how great or important the "Chaos is a Ladder" speech is, but I never really recall it, because I'm too busy raging about Ros!

2025-08-24 20:58:43 +0000 UTCWinterfell is the home of the Starks. That was where King Robert traveled to so he could ask Ned to be his Hand in the very first episode. It is where Bran was pushed from the tower. It is where Theon went and took the castle to impress his father and burned those farmer boys to pass them off as Bran and the youngest Stark, Rickon. A few episodes ago, Theon admitted that his "true" father was beheaded in Kings Landing and that he chose wrong by choosing his bio father and betraying his best friend in Robb. In the opening map, it's smoking because the Iron born men who took Winterfell with Theon burned it down forcing Bran, Rickon, Osha and Hodor to flee along with Bran and Rickon's wolves, Summer and Shaggy Dog. Robb said that he would allow all the Iron born who helped Theon to return home to the Iron Islands, but he wanted Theon for betraying him. Speaking of the Stark wolves, there are only four left. The two mentioned above along with Robb's wolf, Grey Wind and Jon Snow's wolf, Ghost. Arya was forced to send her wolf, Nymeria, away for biting Joffrey and because they couldn't find Nymeria, King Robert ordered to have Sansa's wolf, Lady, killed instead.

2025-08-17 04:27:28 +0000 UTCOkay so lets try and answer this a bit. It sounds like by saying I'm a sweet summer child in real life regarding my knowledge of human behaviour. I'm guessing you are saying that because I said I don't know much about the research around torture. And then you raise the question of whether sadism-bdsm by a psycho-socialpath is something that is taught in behavioiural studies. To address the first point. We, at this point, don't know the function of the behaviour, we see the form, but we dont know the why (even if it is based on internal or external factors) and that seems to be purposely done for this point of the show. There is a vast amount of reasons why one person may torture another - the form may look quite similiar between them, but for understanding we want the function, which we don't know yet, hence I can't comment on it. Plus quite often people can be quite reductionist in talking about torture, phrases like this 'breaks a person down', which doesn't really mean much as it doesnt tell us anything about the mechanism of action or neuro or biological processes. Your next point about where sadism-bdsm by a psycho-sociapath being a thing in behavioural studies? Well firstly, no becuase there are lots of conflated terms in that sentence, and secondly no because its not a usual area of enquiry outside of what I imagine would be highly specific areas. If we try to break down a bit what youve said then sadism in the clinical/forensic psychology sense typically refers to deriving pleasure from seeing others suffer (usually without their consent). BDSM, typically, might have behaviours that look similiar (i.e. the form) but the function is different. Typically in BDSM there is some form of agreement and some form of boundary is put in. The term you have used of sadism-BDSM isn't really a thing. BDSM is not inherently pathological. BDSM doesnt really fit here as the torturers behaviour isnt consenual its abusive and coercive. We could say about the torturer is that their behaviour (the torture) is being positively reinforced (in behavioural terms) by the power and control it gives him, maybe even the arousal or satisfaction it gives him, which then strengthens (reinforces) the likelihood of the behaviour again. There is also some negative reinforcement in the form of humiliating others by the fact that it may reduce his own feelings on inadequacy (its negative because it takes something away but again leads to the behaviour likely being repeated. But again there is an assumption here that there is an intrinsic reinforcer (which their probably is due to the smirks we see) but it also leaves out the whole area that torture is often used for information retrieval so has an extrinsic purpose (and of course there is probably a mix of the two). These patterns are likely to align with anti social personality disorder (which is how we would frame what you refer to psycho-sociopath). I'm sure it doesn't surprise you that on psychology courses there is little discussion on this specific topic because, relatively speaking, it isnt something that comes up often. However, what is commonly taught are processes such as how human behaviour generally works (reinforcing, punishing consequences etc) and a lot more work around personality disorders (from a clinical/forensic sense). There would also be very difficult methodological and ethical difficulties is studying functions of torture for obvious reasons. Not sure if that responds to your comment at all.
