The lighting in the picture you chose is very beautiful, OP, like the slow drift of the sun into fragments of meaning on a lazy afternoon.

[(Anonymous)]

That's just purple prose.

[(Anonymous)]

"fragments of meaning" is one of those phrases that sounds pretty but doesn't actually mean anything (which is ironic as hell), especially in this context.

[(Anonymous)]

What? You're saying there can't be fragments of meaning?

Surely there can be fragments of anything that is a thing, so if there is such a thing as meaning, there can be fragments of it.

Now that I come to think about it, perhaps that's precisely what you intended your comment to convey.

[(Anonymous)]

It means something, just not in this specific context.

[(Anonymous)]

It's a similie.

Don't you kids learn ANYTHING in school these days?

[(Anonymous)]

It's specifically not a simile. The simile is between "the lighting in the picture" and "the slow drift of the sun". The bit about fragments of meaning is a participle phrase describing the drift of the sun. A nonsensical one, specifically.

[(Anonymous)]

You've never let your eyes glaze over as the sun sinks into that dreamy late-afternoon line, and experienced its interaction with your other senses?

I feel sorry for you. I don't really understand how someone so lacking in imagination is into fandom, to be honest.

[(Anonymous)]

DA

This whole thread is making me lmao. Thank you.

[(Anonymous)]

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT AGAINST NONSENSE?

[(Anonymous)]

fish

[(Anonymous)]

Ni! Ni! Ni!

[(Anonymous)]

I learned today that you don't know what a simile is. Hint: it's not a code word for random phrases.

[(Anonymous)]

X does Y like a Z. Similie. Clue is in the word "like."

[(Anonymous)]

...really? You really don't know why they're the exception?

I mean, I'm not saying that "I like the woman to have a vibe of being more powerful than the man" is the only possible reason, but if you like older woman/younger man unless it's tall woman/dwarf man, that would be the first theory to pop into MY head...

[(Anonymous)]

Does OP suggest they're into other tall woman/dwarf man ships? Otherwise, that's rather a leap. "Dwarf" doesn't define him as a character or an actor, you know.

[(Anonymous)]

SA

I didn't mean that, but from stuff like the height rule in slash, it's quite obvious that superficial features generally trump personality and character when it comes to shipping preferences.

Also, ARE there any other tall woman/dwarf ships in existence?

[(Anonymous)]

SA means you are the same anon was the one who made the comment you're replying to. AYRT means you're the anon the person you're replying to replied to.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think that's it.

Tyrion is a Lannister and Shae is a whore and then a lady's maid, so the power is definitely on his side, except for how much he loves her.

They're just so beautiful together. I only watched the end of season four after this secret was submitted but it doesn't change how they were before.

I did think of one more exception. Andy and April from Parks & Rec. They also give me warm fuzzy feelings.

Otherwise it seems my preferences ate firmly fixed. In real life, I'm uncomfortable with age gaps of more than a few years in relationships. It's just in fiction I like man/much older woman, and it means that most of my het ships I see regularly dismissed as crack ships.

[(Anonymous)]

I liked them together (on the show, at least). But their relationship was rather broken in so many ways, I find I can't ship it as anything other than a temporary thing.

[(Anonymous)]

I love broken ships! They're my favorite.

[(Anonymous)]

I stopped watching GoT but yay for Peter Dinklage.

Text: These two are the only het pairing I ship where the woman isn’t considerably older than the man.

I love them so much. But I don’t know why they’re the exception.

[diet_poison]

Only ship in GoT, or in general?
