Sansa Stark (and Sophie): My Queen Forever
There have been many times when I've wanted to give up on myself. Some days I thought my mental illness would destroy me. Other times, it would be thinking I wasn't good enough to pass my classes, get a job, or get my writing published.

My Issues with The Mad Queen
The final season of Game of Thrones has been disappointing and with one episode left, it is hard to imagine the finale will do enough to win over frustrated fans. However, even if season eight has been weaker than previous seasons, it is still some of the best TV to watch right now. That being said, I’ve had issues with parts of this season, especially with Daenerys becoming “the mad queen.” I’m obviously not the first to have this view but I’d like to explain it considering my expectations going in to season 8, Daenerys’ character history and the timing of her becoming a villain.

Review of 'Game of Thrones' Finale
In the penultimate scene of the Game of Thrones finale, Sam proposes democracy for the Seven Kingdoms: Their King or Queen should be chosen by the people. The gathered noble men and women laugh at him. Someone remarks, why not let dogs also choose who rules us (taking a line from Socrates, who said something about jackasses, the animals, ruling—come to think of it, Tyrion talked about a jackass in a brothel, too). Tyrion, ever the smartest person in the group, proposes that these gathered nobility choose the ruler. They, of course, like that. And Tyrion proposes Bran, who is ratified as King by the group.

How 'Game of Thrones' Has Changed My Life
Game of Thrones has reminded me who I am. Someone who is strong enough to do anything she puts her mind to. Someone who knows what she can handle. Someone who can fight every fight and know that she can win no matter how small that win may be. Out of the deepest, darkest holes I have crawled in, it has lifted me up and has shaped me into someone who can be a warrior in her own war and win against every demon that comes her way. No matter how hard the task, no matter what is holding her back, no matter who has hurt her, no matter how dark her mind may get, she will rise from the ashes like a woman scorned and fight until her last dying breath. The important characters have shown me that no matter what kind of obstacle tries to overcome me, I can run at it head on and fight no matter what my odds are, even if I’m bound to lose. It has taught me to be strong in every way that I can be strong. To have an upkeep of that strength to depend on every day that comes and to be proud with every day that passes. That being a woman is far more powerful than society can ever comprehend. To never take a weakness and see it as such. To always show your strength toward others, but more importantly to yourself. To be the dragon, especially on the days when you feel like the sheep. To see the good and fight for it. To fight injustice with justice. To look your demons in the eye without fear and say, “not today.” To use all of the power, fire, and courage you have inside of you every day, to use so much of it that you can burn a whole city down with the belief that you have within yourself. Most importantly, to know your strength, know what you are capable of, know that you can do anything, and to know your true worth in every inch of who you are.

Wear It Like Armor
"It means she is deaf." Nothing, nothing can prepare you for the moment you find out your child is different. Not strange, or odd, but that their bodies are fundamentally "broken." When anyone says the word "deaf" to me, even now, it feels like the moment that changed our lives forever, a heart stopping stab to the chest.

Bran Stark Becoming King Is a Horrible Ending, but the Best Case for Westeros
Arguably the most controversial character in the final season of Game of Thrones has been Bran Stark, the Three-Eyed Raven. A character with what seems like an unhindered ability to predict the past and see into the future, who theoretically control the minds of humans and animals alike.

Game of Frowns
The last season of Game of Thrones has been getting a Dothraki hoard of complaints about it from fans and critics alike, even spawning a petition to have the season remade that's gathering number like the Night King's army. So what are the issues hounding the series, or are people making the Mountain out of a mole hill?

"Well-Behaved Women Rarely Make History"
Throughout history, women have been known for their mothering nature. The caregivers. The nurturers. The ones that are to raise the next generation in hopes that their offspring can change the world. Making it much better than how they were possibly leaving it. Although those traits are good, there have been women throughout history who had taken a different approach. In recent years, we have seen women step up and take their power back from the male oppression in which beliefs have branched into the everyday consciousness. We as women are coming for the man's metaphorical "throat" by showing that we possess more than what men have given credit for.

'Jane the Virgin'
There are a lot of great shows that you can watch on Netflix, like The Office, Friends, or even Stranger Things. But, what happens when you finish all of the popular television shows or the ones that you are interested in? Do you just re-watch them? Do you start watching cooking shows? While some people do that. There are a lot of people that browse on Netflix to see what is interesting or not by the covers of the show. Well, one of the shows that I am going to talk about is Jane the Virgin. I am going to give an honest review of the show.

Porcelain, Ivory, Steel
I was late getting on the Game of Thrones train. I started watching it over the summer of 2015, and roped my mother into watching it with me as well. We were hooked.

'Game of Thrones' Season 8, Episode 5 - "The Bells" My Thoughts
Late to the party, but better late than never. Sunday’s episode of Game of Thrones titled “The Bells” left almost an entire fanbase floored when Daenerys Targaryen, Queen of the Unsullied, laid waste to King’s Landing. Most knew Khaleesi as the even-tempered queen who expected to march her army peacefully into the kingdom and set up shop; this, however, was not the case.
