oberyn martell – ofdreamsanddragons

starfeathers:

#forever grateful for oberyn martell #the only character who consistently criticised and fought and raged against the all-pervasive culture of rape & sexual sadism #and who sought retribution for the rape of his sister not because it brought dishonour to his family #or sullied her femininity #but because it was a heinous violation of a human being that got buried in silence #he was determined to give voice to it; and to keep giving voice until it couldn’t be ignored any more #to be as unflinching and ruthless and relentless as the man who brutalised the person he loved #jfc the show needed this embedded voice of resistance so badly; one voice against a tide of complicity and complacency #[this character was everything this performance was everything i’m so fucking torn up about it] – tags by elucipher
