I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Well, sure, if she was gonna be perfectly reasonable and only take her anger out on who did her wrong. I can understand not being that reasonable.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
FWIW, I can well remember my mother being very resentful that my aunt's foster daughter was taking away "attention" from my aunt's "real"* daughter.
*that's the way my Mom told it.
So, given the culture that Cat grew up in, I don't suppose it's surprising that she behaves as she does.

I can understand it, but I can also understand thinking your brother is the one or cutting off someone's tongue as a gesture of power. I don't like it, though, and I don't respect it. Be mad at the person that did something to you. Be mad at the missing mistress. Not at the really great kid.
He's isolated, and he's in need of a maternal figure and she was worse than an absent one--she was a negative.

I don't like or respect it, either. Big old failure on her part. I just don't hold it against her.
I can't really empathize with cutting out tongues.

When I say I understand her behaviour, I don't mean I empathise with it, because I don't at all. I totally do hold it against her. I just get why she's doing it. I also get why Bieber is cutting out tongues. And I hold that against him.

Fair enough. I do empathise with Cat, and with Sansa, and even with Cersei to some extent. I don't get Joffrey even on an analytical level.

Art Crawl!!!
I think he's a sociopath. . in the books it is noted that he mutilated a pregnant cat as a child.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
oh really?
how much detail did they provide in the book because I don't think I can read the books.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
no details, just mentioned as a past event that provoked Robert to great anger
eta: well, no detail of *that* incident. The books are super gorey on other events.
