La celebrity Paris Hilton reveló en una nueva entrevista los horrores que padeció mientras asistió en 1998 a la escuela Provo Canyon en Utah.

La bisnieta del magnate hotelero, Conrad Hilton, explicó que la pesadilla comenzó en su época de secundaria, en Nueva York, donde se volvió “adicta a la vida nocturna. Me sentía como la reina de la noche. Ahí es donde realmente me convertí en Paris”.

Preocupados, sus padres primero la castigaron encerrándola en su habitación y quitándole el teléfono, pero cuando eso no funcionó la enviaron a “escuelas de crecimiento emocional”, como la Provo Canyon ubicada en Utah.

Allí el infierno fue mayor, “la peor de las peores”, en la cual solo estuvo 11 meses en 1998.

Según Paris, le quitaban sus pertenencias y cuando trató de escapar la golpearon brutalmente delante de otros chicos.

La millonaria, cree que el personal de esa escuela disfrutaba con “torturar a los niños y verlos desnudos”. Además en una reciente entrevista con el New York Times confesó que los miembros del personal le “realizaban exámenes cervicales” a la fuerza, a ella y a otras estudiantes.

“Muy tarde en la noche, esto sería alrededor de las 3 o 4 de la mañana, nos llevaban a mí y a otras niñas a esta habitación y nos realizaban exámenes médicos”, afirmó Hilton.

Además, alegó que “ni siquiera fue con un médico”, sino que “fueron un par de miembros diferentes del personal que nos hicieron acostarnos sobre la mesa y pusieron sus dedos dentro de nosotros”.

“Pero está volviendo el tiempo atrás ahora, y pienso en ello. Y ahora, mirando hacia atrás como adulto, eso definitivamente fue abuso sexual”.

“Lloré mientras me sujetaban y dije: ‘¡No!’ Simplemente dijeron: ‘Cállate. Tranquilizarse. Deja de luchar o irás a Obs’”, escribió Hilton, y agregó: “Es importante hablar sobre estos momentos dolorosos para que pueda sanar y ayudar a poner fin a este abuso”.

Según el medio Page Six, los representantes de Provo Canyon no respondieron de inmediato para hacer comentarios sobre las acusaciones.

Los maltratos a Paris en aquel lugar habrían incluido el recetarle pastillas, al igual que al resto de los alumnos, pero ella las escondía en una servilleta para no tomarlas.

Como si se tratara de una prisión, según Hilton, cuando descubrieron que no estaba tomando sus medicamentos la pusieron en aislamiento. “Hacían que la gente se quitara la ropa y entrara allí durante unas 20 horas. Me sentí como si me estuviera volviendo loca. Alguien estaba en la otra habitación, había como una camisa de fuerza. … Me estaba congelando, me estaba muriendo de hambre, estaba sola. Tenía miedo”.

Una vez que alcanzó la mayoría de edad, Paris pudo librarse de ese martirio y volvió a casa sin decir una palabra a su familia de lo que vivió ahí.

“Después de estar en esa escuela, no quería que nadie lo supiera, no quería avergonzarme de que estaba tan obsesionada con lucir perfecta por fuera”.

En 2020, la artista de “Stars Are Blind” lanzó el documental “The Is Paris”, pintando un panorama más amplio de su juventud problemática y su experiencia traumática en el internado.

Paris habló de sus luchas en la escuela junto con tres de sus excompañeros de clase que corroboraron las afirmaciones de abuso de la heredera. La empresaria ahora exitosa compartió en el documental que los asistentes fueron alimentados a la fuerza con medicamentos, sujetos con restricciones como castigo y, a veces, arrojados a confinamiento solitario hasta “20 horas al día”, comentó en la nota de Page Six.

El medio confirmó que la actriz de “House of Wax” se asoció con Unsilenced.org y Breaking Code Silence en mayo para instar a que se tomen medidas federales contra estas instalaciones, hablando junto a otros 200 sobrevivientes en Washington, DC.

Paris ha trabajado con los legisladores para impulsar la legislación, incluida la Ley de la industria de “adolescentes con problemas”, SB127, que se convirtió en ley en 2021. El proyecto de ley tenía la intención de aumentar la supervisión del gobierno en los centros de tratamiento residencial para jóvenes de Utah.

En mayo, visitó Washington junto con legisladores para apoyar la Ley Federal de Responsabilidad por el Cuidado Congregado, que tiene la intención de investigar más a fondo el presunto abuso en estas instalaciones, así como crear una Declaración de Derechos de Jóvenes en el Cuidado Congregado.

Lil Nas X causes controversy with photos of his «pregnancy»

0

‘Montero’ is the title of the artist’s next work to which he will ‘give birth’ on September 17.

If the expectations around the new Lil Nas X album were through the roof, the latest publication of the singer has managed to directly skyrocket. Montero will be the title of the Old Town Road interpreter’s next work and will be released on September 17, specifically when Lil Nas X «gives birth.» After showing a cover that has been considered a true visual fantasy, some first-rate collaborations between his tracklist with names like Elton John, Doja Cat, Megan Thee Stallion or Miley Cyrus, now Lil Nas X has made a most illustrative analogy about how has been the process of creating your new album. As if it were a pregnancy and Montero was her baby, she has presented it that way. A fairly common comparison in the musical world but rarely as graphic and impressive as the artist has taught.

The ‘pregnancy’ of Lil Nas X that has caused a furor It has been through his latest post on Instagram that Lil Nas X has started the countdown to the launch with a pregnant photoshoot. Dressed entirely in white, with a flower crown on his head and an unbuttoned shirt that reveals his pregnant belly, a very pregnant Lil Nas X exclaimed: «» Surprise! I can’t believe I’m finally announcing this! . My bundle of joy Montero comes out on September 17, 2021. ”A post in which in addition to including three photos in the purest style of the antepartum session has also added a final image of an ultrasound and… surprise! you see through the small black and white screen? Your baby, that is, the applauded cover for Montero.

To add to the message, Spears included an illustrated meme of herself in the iconic «…Baby One More Time» schoolgirl outfit, holding a bottle of Purell hand sanitizer. «My loneliness is saving me,» is written on it, with the original «killing me» lyrics crossed out to reflect the #StayHome initiative.

«Enough said,» Spears captioned.

Taylor Swift Is Sending Stimulus Checks to Some Out-of-Work Fans: See Their Touched Responses

Taylor Swift attends the 2019 Billboard Women In Music at Hollywood Palladium on Dec. 12, 2019 in Los Angeles.

Take that, Congress.

Even with the $2 trillion stimulus package passed by the Senate on Wednesday, millions of Americans are expected to file for unemployment next week as the cascading economic damage wrought by the COVID-19 pandemic continues to devastate the economy. It might be weeks before the $1,200 government checks arrive in mailboxes and even then they’re not likely to ease the pressure for long for those out of work indefinitely.

Taylor Swift has a plan for that. The singer is reaching out with her own Swiftie Stimulus checks to some of her long-time fans, and they are in awe of her generous gesture. Billboard can confirm that there were at least 10 such payments made by Swift on Wednesday (March 25).

«OHHHHH MY F–KINGGGGFFF SHUT HP SHUT UPS BUT IP SHUT UP THIS CANT BE HAPPENING I CANT STOP SHAKONT I CANT STOP CRUING WHAT THE FUCK TULORLRL,» wrote Samantha Jacobson, who posted a message she got from Swift in which the singer wrote, «Samantha, I saw your tweet about being stressed about bills piling up and I want to help.»

The singer asked for the best way to gift Samantha $3,000. According to EW, Jacobson is a longtime fan who lost her job as a cocktail server at Disney World for at least 30 days after the bar she works at was forced to close because of the novel coronavirus that has killed more than 1,000 Americans to date.

Justin on Improving His Mental Health So He Can ‘Be the Father I Want to Be’

 

In March 2019, the singer updated fans about his continuing struggle with mental health, explaining that he’d taken a step away from making music to become a person who can maintan relationships — and eventually raise kids. “So I read a lot of messages saying you want an album … I am now very focused on repairing some of the deep-rooted issues that I have as most of us have, so that I don’t fall apart, so that I can sustain my marriage and be the father I want to be,” he wrote. “Music is very important to me, but nothing comes before my family and my health.”

A July 2019 Disney theme park trip got the singer thinking about quality time with a future youngster — but didn’t hasten his plans to become a father. “Love dates with you, baby … One day I’ll be doing daddy-daughter dates … Not hinting at anything soon I’m not in a rush. I just wanna enjoy you by yourself for a while! #Disneyworld,” he captioned a pic of himself and his wife, who was sporting Minnie Mouse ears.

You just have to be patient, let it happen, and let it even out. For me, I’d take that over having a baby right now, so…”

Harry Styles Turns Down the Role of Prince Eric in The Little Mermaid Live-Action Remake

0

Despite being in talks to play Prince Eric in Disney’s live-action remake of The Little Mermaid for over a month, Styles has officially turned down the offer, PEOPLE confirms.

“While he is a fan of the project, he has respectfully declined the offer,” a source close to the film tells PEOPLE.

Disney has not commented on who is being considered to play the handsome prince.

News that Styles may be appearing as Princess Ariel’s love interest initially surfaced in July, shortly after R&B singer Halle Bailey, 19, was officially cast as the leading mermaid.

Harry Styles (and Prince Eric

“I think anybody could do a wonderful job with the role,” Bailey told PEOPLE when asked about the English singer joining her. “I’m so blessed to be a part of such a beautiful project.”

The role of Prince Eric would have been Styles’ second major acting gig.

His only role came in 2017’s Dunkirk, Christopher Nolan’s epic WWII thriller. The performer had a bulk of the lines in the otherwise dialogue-light film, which also starred Kenneth Branagh, Mark Rylance, Tom Hardy, and Fionn Whitehead.

He also recently screen-tested for the role of Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann’s upcoming biopic, but the singer lost out on the role to Austin Butler.

Besides acting, Styles was famously part of One Direction before the boy band went on hiatus in early 2016. He then embarked on a successful solo career.

Production for The Little Mermaid is anticipated to begin in early 2020.

The film has already been getting plenty of attention — both good and bad — as shortly after Disney announced its casting of Bailey as Ariel in July, some internet commenters lashed out against the idea of a black woman in the role.

Bailey later addressed those comments in an interview with Variety and made it clear that she was not letting other people’s opinions get to her.

“I feel like I’m dreaming and I’m just grateful and I don’t pay attention to the negativity,” she told the outlet. “I just feel like this role was something bigger than me and greater and it’s going to be beautiful. I’m just so excited to be a part of it.”

Fans and stars were also quick to rally behind the choice, including Jodie Benson — the original voice of Ariel in the 1989 animated classic — who argued at Florida Supercon in July that “the most important thing is to tell the story.”

Halle Bailey and Princess Ariel

Besides Bailey, Awkwafina and Jacob Tremblay are in talks to star in the film as Scuttle and Flounder, respectively, while Melissa McCarthy is reportedly near a deal to play the voice-stealing villain Ursula.

Alan Menken, who wrote the score to the original 1989 animated film, will return to the remake and create new music alongside Tony Award winner Lin-Manuel Miranda, who worked with Marshall on Mary Poppins Returns.

Miranda previously worked with Disney on 2016’s Moana, which he fully composed.

Apple’s Biggest Event of the Year Starts Monday. Here’s What to Expect

Apple is planning to unleash a slew of new apps, features and development tools at its annual software conference. To improve its devices and strengthen its connection to customers, the consumer technology giant will continue to walk a fine line between wooing outside app makers while also competing against them.

The Worldwide Developers Conference, or WWDC, starts June 3. The company will reveal updates to the operating systems that run the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple TV. Highlights include upgrades to core iPhone apps such as Maps, Reminders and Messages; new apps for the Apple Watch that make it more independent from the iPhone, and enhancements to the health tracking capabilities of Apple devices, according to people familiar with the plans.

Since launching the iPhone in 2007, Apple has pursued an aggressive approach to refreshing its mobile operating systems each year. The fast pace is taxing on Apple engineers, but the results have been impressive. The company’s products are often unique and more capable than those of rivals because Apple’s home-grown software works so well with the hardware. The new updates also give users access to the latest services like Apple Music and the upcoming TV+ video-streaming subscription, which give Apple a recurring revenue stream.

It’s a delicate balance. Part of the allure of iPhones and iPads also comes from all the different apps made by independent developers. The company provides new tools for these partners, but it is increasingly building its own versions of popular apps, too. That helps differentiate its devices from rivals but sometimes upsets third-party developers. Spotify Technology SA and other app makers have complained to European antitrust regulators that Apple’s own software and services give it an unfair advantage on the App Store. U.S. presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren has proposed splitting the App Store from the rest of the company, although few other policymakers have supported the idea.

“Developers, from first-time engineers to larger companies, can rest assured that everyone is playing by the same set of rules,” Apple said in a recent statement rebutting Spotify’s complaint. “That’s how it should be. We want more app businesses to thrive — including the ones that compete with some aspect of our business, because they drive us to be better.”

New features coming to the Apple Watch illustrate the balance the company must strike. Apple plans to add the App Store directly to the Watch so users can download apps on the go. This could open up huge new opportunities for outside developers, boosting app installations. But Apple has its own new Watch apps in the works, too. There will be new health applications, a Calculator and a Books app for listening to audio books from your wrist, the people familiar with the plans said.

So far, Apple has managed to make the strategy work. The App Store drove $46.6 billion in spending last year, almost double the amount spent on Google’s Android equivalent, according to Sensor Tower estimates. That’s wooed more than 20 million developers who have created over 2 million apps for Apple’s platform. At the same time, there are 1.4 billion active Apple devices in use, and 92 percent of iPhones and iPads run the latest operating system, or the version before that. The App Store and other digital services are on course to generate more than $50 billion in annual revenue soon.

Here are the software features Apple is planning to announce at WWDC 2019, according to people familiar with the plans. They asked not to be identified discussing unreleased product details. Apple’s plans are fluid and could change between now and the event, people familiar with Apple’s development process said. The company could also choose to push back some features until next year, like was done last year, they added. An Apple spokesman declined to comment.

What’s coming for iOS 13:

  • Codenamed “Yukon,” the refreshed operating system for iPhones and iPads includes tweaks and new features across several apps, including features originally planned for last year. The company is also already working on iOS 14, codenamed “Azul,” for 2020. That release is expected to support 5G wireless network speeds and new AR functionality for next year’s iPhone.
  • The software, for the second year in a row, will speed up the devices and reduce bugs. There will be user interface tweaks, including a new animation when launching multitasking and closing apps. The widgets that appear to the left of the home screen will also have a cleaner look.
  • A Dark Mode, a black and grey-heavy interface optimized for viewing at night, that can be enabled in Control Center, the panel for quickly accessing settings.
  • The company is testing a new keyboard option that allows users to swipe across letters on the keyboard in one motion to type out words (Apple could choose to keep this feature internal). This is similar to options on Android handsets and it would compete with third-party iPhone apps such SwiftKey.
  • A revamped Health app with a new homepage that better outlines your daily activity from the day. There will be a section for “hearing health,” like how loud you play music on your headphones or the loudness of the external environment. It also includes more comprehensive menstrual cycle tracking, vying with period-tracking apps such as Clue, Flo and Ovia.
  • A new feature similar to popular third-party apps Duet Display and Luna Displaythat will let users use their iPad as a second Mac screen with the ability to draw with an Apple Pencil, expand the viewing area, and get Mac notifications.
  • An updated Reminders app that better competes with the several to-do list programs available on the App Store. The new app has a main screen with four default sections laid out in a grid: tasks to be done today, all tasks, scheduled tasks, and flagged tasks. Each section has its own different-colored page that users can add items to.
  • A new feature in Screen Time, Apple’s tool for controlling device usage, will let parents limit who their kids can and cannot contact at certain times. For example, a parent could make it so their kid can’t contact anyone but them during the evenings. Apple was criticized recently for removing multiple third-party parental-control apps from the App Store, but the company said it yanked the software due to security and privacy concerns.
  • A refreshed Apple Books app will encourage users to read more by way of an updated progress tracker and a new rewards system.
  • iMessage gets an upgrade with a WhatsApp-like enhancement that lets people set a profile picture and display name, and choose who sees it. There’s also a dedicated menu in the conversation view to send sticker versions of Animojis, the virtual characters that users can control with the latest iPhone and iPad cameras, and Memojis, which are virtual representations of users themselves.
  • An updated Maps app will make it easier to set frequent locations, like home or work addresses, and then navigate there. Users will also be able to create groups of frequent places and add a photo to them. The current interface for navigating to suggested or past destinations can sometimes be confusing. This will increase competition with Google Maps and Waze apps.
  • Apple is combining the Find my Friends and Find my iPhone services into a new, single app, internally called “GreenTorch.” This could go along with a physical beacon to attach to non-Apple devices like a backpack, according to 9to5Mac. That would challenge Tile, which makes similar iPhone-tracking dongles.
  • The built-in Mail app will be updated with the ability to mute individual threads, block incoming email from certain contacts, and will have simpler folder management.
  • A new system-wide Sleep Mode that will tie into an upgraded version of the Bedtime tab in Apple’s Clock app. The Bedtime feature lets users input the time they fall asleep and when they want to wake up. The software currently tracks some sleep patterns, but the new version will be more extensive and could integrate with future Apple sleep-tracking devices, like a new Apple Watch. The Sleep Mode, when enabled in Control Center, turns on Do Not Disturb, darkens the Lock Screen, and mutes all notifications.
  • An upgraded Home app as part of the company’s smart home push will be more integrated with security cameras and have the ability to view past recordings.
  • Apple is also planning to let the HomePod speaker respond to different users’ voices, creating a much requested multi-user mode.
  • A more organized “share sheet” interface for sharing photos and web links. The software will suggest people to send content to based on how frequently you interact with them.
  • The company is testing a downloads manager for its Safari web browser so users can access downloads in a single place like they can on a computer. An updated Files app will work better with third-party software.
  • The iPad is getting some unique features, including an updated interface for multi-tasking, tweaks to the home screen, and the ability to cycle through different versions of the same app.
  • Apple is planning to better integrate hearing aid support and will have a more comprehensive Accessibility settings menu on the main page of the Settings app.

What’s coming for macOS 10.15:

The biggest change coming to the Mac this year is the ability for iPad apps to run on laptops and desktops, as Bloomberg News previously reported.

For the first time, Apple will allow developers who write iPad apps to re-work their apps so the software can also run on the Mac. This will be useful for developers who are looking to simplify their development process, but it will also brighten the macOS app ecosystem with several new applications. Developers will still need to submit separate versions of the app to Apple’s iOS and Mac App Stores, but the new software development kit will mean they don’t have to write the underlying code twice.

Beyond this year’s conference, Apple is planning to expand the feature so iPhone apps can run on the Mac by next year. The year after that, the company aims to merge iPhone, iPad, and Mac applications into single downloads that can run on any Apple device. Eventually, it could also merge the App Stores.

  • Apple is also planning bring over a couple of its own iPad apps to the Mac this year: a Podcasts app and the new merged Find My iPhone and Find My Friends app from iOS 13.
  • There will also be a new Apple Music app, which is being developed as a standard Mac program.
  • Other in-house software coming to the Mac includes: Screen Time; effects and stickers for the Messages app; integration with the Siri Shortcuts app (the company’s new service for writing your own Siri commands); the new Reminders app; and upgrades to Apple Books.

While the developer conference is software-focused, the company often sprinkles new hardware announcements in at the event. For this year, Apple has been considering debuting a revamped Mac Pro desktop computer. It’s also readying a new external monitor, codenamed J290, with high-dynamic-range support (so colors look much better).

What’s coming for watchOS 6:

  • Apple is adding the App Store directly onto the Apple Watch so users can download apps on the go, making the device more independent. Users currently install new apps via the Watch companion application on their iPhone.
  • Apple is bringing the Voice Memos app from the iPhone, iPad, and Mac so users can record voice memos from their wrist.
  • Apple is also planning to add Animoji and Memojis stickers to the device that synchronize from an iPhone.
  • The Watch will also get an Apple Books app for listening to audio books from the wrist and a Calculator app.
  • There will be two new health-related apps for the Watch: one dubbed “Dose” inside Apple for pill reminders and another called “Cycles” to track menstrual cycles.
  • Apple is adding more watch face “Complications,” which show additional snippets of information beyond just the time. There will be one that shows the status of audio books, another showing the battery life of hearing aids, and others that measure external noise and rain data.
  • The company is also planning several new watch faces: a “Gradient” face that makes a gradient look out of a color the user chooses, at least two new “X-Large” faces that show jumbo numbers in different fonts and colors, a “California” dial that looks like a classic watch face and mixes Roman numerals with Arabic numerals, a redesigned “Solar Analog” watch face that looks like a sundial, and a new “Infograph Subdial” one that includes larger complication views like a stock market chart or the weather.

27 Detalles escondidos que no viste en el ÚLTIMO episodio de ‘Game Of Thrones’

0

1. En los créditos iniciales, el león Lannister que vemos sobre el Trono de Hierro está roto.

HBO

2. Hay una toma de un caballo de madera carbonizado que hace referencia a la muerte de la niña que Arya intentó salvar en el episodio anterior.

HBO

3. Es IMPOSIBLE que no hayas visto esto, pero es una imagen muy poderosa: Las alas de Drogon se ven detrás de Dany, simbolizando que ella se había convertido en un dragón.

4. El pelo de Dany estuvo muy elaborado en este episodio, ya que fue cuando alcanzó su punto más ~victorioso~ y la vimos más Targaryen que nunca.

5. El discurso de Dany a los Dothraki nos recuerda al que dio al final de la sexta temporada, que a su vez era muy parecido al de Drogo en la primera temporada.

HBO

6. Jon recuerda que el maestre Aemon le había dicho: «El amor es la muerte del deber». Esto ocurrió en el episodio 9 de la temporada 4, cuando Jon perdió a Ygritte, su primer gran amor.

HBO

8. Daenerys muere de forma similar y en el mismo lugar que su padre, el Rey Loco. Pero Jon Snow la apuñala de frente y se convierte en el Matarreinas, a diferencia de Jaime, quien se convirtó en el Matarreyes al apuñalar a Aerys II por la espalda.

HBO

9. La forma en que Jon sostiene el cuerpo de Dany nos recuerda a la muerte de Ygritte en la cuarta temporada.

HBO

10. El Trono de Hierro fue forjado con el fuego de Balerion el Terror Negro, el primer dragón que conquistó Poniente. Tiene sentido que haya sido destruido por Drogon, el último dragón en hacerlo.

11. La escena en Pozo Dragón nos recuerda la escena de la temporada 7, pero ahora las personas y las circunstancias son totalmente diferentes.

En la escena de la temporada 7, Dany dice que ese lugar había sido el final de su familia, y ahora todos están reunidos para discutir quién la reemplazará en el trono.
HBO

En la escena de la temporada 7, Dany dice que ese lugar había sido el final de su familia, y ahora todos están reunidos para discutir quién la reemplazará en el trono.

12. En la escena en Pozo Dragón, no solo puede verse al nuevo Príncipe de Dorne y a Edmure Tully, también sino también al nuevo y mejorado Robin Arryn.

Además, el recién formado consejo se inclina en favor de los Stark, ya que está lleno de sus parientes y aliados. Por lo tanto, no es una sorpresa que terminen gobernando todo Westeros.

13. Grey Worm cumple la promesa que le hizo a Missandei de navegar hacia Naath cuando terminara la guerra.

Por desgracia, ella ya no estuvo ahí para verlo cumplir su palabra.
HBO

Por desgracia, ella ya no estuvo ahí para verlo cumplir su palabra.

HBO

15. Y la despedida de Jon y Arya es igualita a su despedida en la primera temporada.
HBO

16. El plan de Arya de ir «al oeste de Westeros» surgió en la sexta temporada.

17. Brienne cumplió el deseo de Jaime de inmortalizar sus grandes hazañas.

18. Esto de seguro lo notaste; fue tan obvio que ya ni siquiera fue chistoso. Pero sí, los maestres realmente escribieron ~Canción de hielo y fuego~, o sea, el nombre de los libros.

HBO

19. Brienne no solo terminó a cargo de la Guardia Real, ¡sino que nombró caballero a Podrick!

¡Ser Podrick!
HBO

¡Ser Podrick!

20. Davos honró el legado de Stannis de corregir el lenguaje.

21. Ni en el episodio final Tyrion pudo terminar de contar su misteriosa (y ridícula) anécdota del «burro y el panal de miel».

HBO

HBO

23. Y, por supuesto, Ghost.

¡¡¡¡POR FIN!!!!

24. La parte en la que Arya se va de Westeros en un barco es muy parecida a las escenas finales de la cuarta temporada.

25. La escena de Sansa siendo coreada como Reina del Norte nos recuerda a los momentos en que sus hermanos fueron proclamados Reyes del Norte.

Esperemos que su reinado termine de forma más positiva.
HBO / Via ralts.tumblr.com

Esperemos que su reinado termine de forma más positiva.

En efecto, siempre quiso ser reina.

26. El look de Sansa nos cuenta su propia historia desde el comienzo de Game of Thrones. La corona y el vestido de coronación no fueron la excepción.
HBO

El hecho de que lleve el pelo suelto indica que, por primera vez, no está bajo el control de nadie, y que es una mujer completamente independiente.

Su atuendo está lleno de referencias a toda su familia, como bien señala este usuario de Tumblr:

"Sansa honró a toda su familia con su ropa. El arciano representa a Bran, la capa en un solo hombro a Arya, el color negro de la capa a Jon, el patrón de escamas en su brazo es por su madre, el cuervo por Rob, la aguja por ella, el desorden de su capa por Rickon, y el color de su vestido era gris, para honrar a su padre y a sus ancestros"

27. Y, finalmente, Game of Thrones comenzó con los Stark y terminó con los Stark; y también comenzó y terminó con escenas que muestran a hombres de la Guardia Real yendo más allá del Muro.

HBO

Y con esto damos fin una de los mejores series de la historia de la televisión.

HBO

No importa lo que diga la última temporada.

Game Of Thrones» Stars Are Bidding Farewell To Their Characters And It’s A Lot To Take In

«I love you, ya big weirdo.»

If you’re reading this, then I probably already know two things about you:

1) You’re a Game of Thrones fan.

2) You’ve been on edge for the past five weeks, anxiously trying to figure out everything that has happened and everything that will happen during the final season.

Don’t worry, we’re in this together, but can we all agree episode five left us all feeling a plethora of emotions, like misery, confusion, and anger, just to name a few?

King’s Landing wasn’t ready for the destruction and bloodshed that came its way, and honestly, neither was I.

HBO

We lost Cersei and Jaime Lannister, who were crushed to death in each other’s arms as the castle crumbled to the ground.

HBO

Euron Greyjoy, who died in an one-on-one fight with Jaime.

HBO

And The Hound also died alongside his brother, The Mountain, when they fought in their long overdue battle, known as the Cleganebowl.

HBO

So, this was me by the end of the episode:

Netlfix

But you know what’s managed to keep me sane throughout it all? Seeing these touching tributes they shared about the fallen characters from Episode Five:

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau reminisced about the emotional roller coaster he rode with his on-screen lover and twin sister, Lena Headey…

instagram.com

…which warmed her heart.

And like Nikolaj, Lena used humor in her tribute message to him:

Pilou Asbaek had the best time working with Nikolaj, even if Nikolaj caused his demise.

And for the woman he risked it all for, Pilou was nothing but grateful.

With one episode left in the series and more bloodshed to come, it’s nice to see the cast in good spirits.
