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.

SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Although everyone insists that goth only became a thing in the late seventies and early eighties after punk happened, here are some interesting anecdotes about things that we now consider to be ‘undoubtedly goth’ happening long before goth’s time:

-Vampira eventually began to dress in her characteristic style all the time, not just on television. This was in the age of The Munsters and The Addams Family, when people were suddenly introduced to the idea of more darkly inclined people living amongst normal, white suburbia. She was certainly not the only one picking up on this influence and running with it for the sake of self expression; one thing I find interesting is that many of the Eldergoths fluttering around here on tumblr and other places remember being inspired as children by people in the neighbourhood who also wore black all the time, drove hearses, had unusual pets such as snakes or spiders, and would certainly be welcome at any goth gathering happening nowadays.

-My mother went to school in the late sixties and early seventies, and although this is not as early as the previous example, she tells me that it was popular among the early metalheads-the Black Sabbath fans-to wear all black clothing, black hair, black on their lips, and black everything to the point of everybody thinking they were suicidal satan worshippers. Sound familiar?  Metal music is often passed off as an inferior pass time and ‘not really goth’, but it’s influence on the aesthetics  and musical content of goth cannot be ignored. It isn’t hard to imagine metal music, and ‘shock rockers’ such as Alice Cooper to be havens for the people who would later become goths.

-Many of the people we recognize as being quintessential goths, regardless of whether or not they identify as such, dressed eccentrically and listened to ‘dark music’ long before goth entered the picture(I’m thinking of Siouxsie Sioux and Tim Burton as I type this). It’s also important to remember that most people who identify as being goth adopted the label after realizing that it matched some of the things that they were already interested in  . Finally, it’s important to remember that people’s natures don’t change over the centuries, if there are people forming subcultures now over darker music and clothing, than similar people most definitely existed in earlier time periods as well. They were just quieter about it, perhaps out of necessity. The label goth is still very new, but the people and interests are not.

Why is this suddenly being reblogged again?

It’s being reblogged because it’s well thought-out and articulate? ::nods::

I personally didn’t adopt the goth label until my very early 20s, because I didn’t know there was a subculture and a name for people with my interests until then.

So… a few months ago, the store I used to work at asked their employees for ideas of products and licenses they should be carrying. I gave them 2 simple instructions- “1. More Supernatural. 2. A Cas t-shirt, bonus points if there are wings on the back.”

So I guess what I’m saying is… I’m taking responsibility for this. You’re fucking welcome.
