at my wedding i want the Rains of Castamere to play and see the horror in my friends eyes
one of the most annoying things about me is that i constantly need to be reassured that you haven’t started hating me for some reason

a behind-the-scenes photo of me & stoya from the filming of the “do it with a rockstar” music video…
y’know the one…the one lots of folks have been asking about over the past few months…
WHERE DID IT GO?
IT WAS RIGHT THERE ON YOUTUBE?!
AND THEN NOT!!
long story short, the “do it with a rockstar” video was taken down by YouTube, many months after being posted, because someone over there randomly decided they didn’t think the tits were artistic enough.
win some, lose some. all of the view counts and comments are sadly lost. the internet. sometimes it hugs you and sometimes it smacks you.
we did a super mini-edit and the new cut is FINALLY up, with a little coda message from yours truly

Gwendoline Christie is the actress for Brienne of Tarth in Game of Thrones. She stands at 6 feet 3 inches tall and took swordfighting, horseriding, and stagefighting lessons for her part, as well as gaining 14 pounds of muscle, to accurately portray Brienne. (x)
She was also terrified of cutting her hair because she’d spent her life believing it was one of the only things that would make people see her as feminine despite her height. In an interview with TV Guide she said:
I struggled for a long time with [cutting] my hair, but then I’m grateful for the opportunity to realize that femininity doesn’t have to come from hair or any of those traditional female archetypes of appearance, So, that’s been exciting actually. I can’t speak with any kind of authority whatsoever because I’m just an actor and I only have my opinions, but I do think it’s really refreshing to have a woman depicted on a mainstream TV show that doesn’t obey typical aesthetics of females and the way they have been portrayed in the past. And I’m really excited to be portraying one of those women. And I hope that her popularity signals a greater expansion of people’s views about men and women and that gender types can be more flexible.
When i was in London, I read a like 4 page interview about her. She is so perfect.
