octospider:

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.

“And even though I don’t like any Dallas Cowboy, I feel sort of bad for Terrell Owens because maybe he really is a sad guy who is having trouble with his mind. Who knows, maybe he really did try to kill himself? And yet everyone mocks him, as if his mental health is a joke - or maybe they want to push him over the edge and would like nothing more to see T.O. dead.”

- The Silver Linings Playbook by Matthew Quick (pg. 172)

The girl at the till noticed I was purchasing Abundance of Katherines by John Green. She brought up that he was popular, which lead me to talk about the Vlogbrothers, and Crash Course. How he is more than just an author he does other great things.

The girl at the till brushed off pretty much everything I just said and responded by saying yeah he is popular kind of like how Stephanie Meyer, and how he is just another trend like Stephanie Meyer and Harry Potter….

I was like

First off Harry Potter was not a trend it is a generation that is timeless.

and

John Green is midichlorians off the charts a better author than Stephanie Meyer. And Rowling will always be the Queen.
