I was going to just use one, but he's too beautiful to pick.

his autistic quirks and eyes blue like the cleanest of lakes have captivated me

I adore this awkward big boy ;-; #Ragnarok #MagneSeier

Character study based on E01S01 of Ragnarok • Magne's and Laurits' faces are beautiful but hard to capture! Also from a sibling's perspective it's funny that they both sit at in the back of the car.

ADWD and AFFC being concurrent books is really funny because people in essos will be like "I'm sure the lion queen is well aware of daenerys' dragons in meereen and is preparing the kingdom for when she decides to come for the iron throne" meanwhile cersei is having the crash out of the century because of a 16 year old who likes to play dolls with her son

Good Christian people, I have not come here to preach a sermon; I have come here to die. For according to the law and by the law I am judged to die, and therefore I will speak nothing against it. I am come hither to accuse no man, nor to speak of that whereof I am accused and condemned to die, but I pray God save the King and send him long to reign over you, for a gentler nor a more merciful prince was there never, and to me he was ever a good, a gentle, and sovereign lord. And if any person will meddle of my cause, I require them to judge the best. And thus I take my leave of the world and of you all, and I heartily desire you all to pray for me.

“The heart is great which shows moderation in the midst of prosperity.”

“Prisons, which are considered as preventive of anti-social deeds, are exactly the institutions for breeding them… Absence of education, dislike of regular work, physical incapability of sustained effort, misdirected love of adventure, gambling propensities, absence of energy, an untrained will, and carelessness about the happiness of others… it is exactly these defects of human nature — each one of them — which the prison breeds in its inmates; and it is bound to breed them because it is a prison, and will breed them so long as it exists.”

— Peter Kropotkin, Memoirs of a Revolutionist
