Remember when GRRM posted that cryptic bullshit along the lines of "A good day, Snow started falling in New Mexico" or "The Knot of my belt feels a bit looser after that fat poo poo I took (into my 70s word processor)" and the sycophantic comments started pouring in like a bunch of dogs catching a whiff of sweaty rear end? And then GRRM got all pissy about it? Good times.

This thread has really honed my creative ability to come up with scatological and juvenile descriptions. I'm ready to write taglines for ASOIAF porn videos.

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

Mel Brooks successfully predicted the cynicism of the prequel trilogy over a decade early. The man is a genius without parallel, but Silent Movie proved that pretty well.

Had the very idea this morning, then I realized I don't want to spend any more time on Brienne's chapters than I already have.

Plus I'd only devote like half an hour a day to it at most and it'd take almost as long as GRRM to fart out a "complete" novel, though in my defense my financial livelihood isn't tied to the production of ASoIaF content so I'd be insane to make such a project high priority.

It's really Tywin and Cersei's "bonding time" when she was a teen.

There's good reason Cersei thinks she's stronger than any man, and that Tywin was the toughest son-of-a-bitch that ever lived.

I'm re-reading ADWD at the moment, after demolishing it it 2 days after it was published. Half-way through one of the early Dany chapters it struck how staggeringly un-curious she is about Westeros.

Dany asks Selmy to tell her a tale of the old country and he starts yakking it up about the time he was dismissed by Joffrey and escaped the city killing a bunch of dudes on the way despite being un-armed. Dany cracks a snide comment about how Ned Stark is a traitor sofuckthatguy, but mainly she doesn't give a poo poo. Changes the subject instantly, starts pining about her dragons being locked up. It was the same situation when Jorah was on the scene, he'd be telling a story and she'd be like 'oh look at that butterfly', and instantly lose interest.

I mean maybe Gurm is setting up a scenario where she is loathed by her subjects as a foreign barbarian when she FINALLY returns, but honestly I don't think so. Unless he really is just making this poo poo up on the fly, I don't see how he can get this broad to get motivated without it coming across as completely different in tone from the previous 5 books of moping and prevaricating.

That's exactly who she is though. To Westeros she would be nothing but a foreign barbarian. She doesn't give a gently caress about Westeros because she has no strong memories of her bloodline, and she doesn't feel compelled to because her material needs and any innate motivation to rule has always been satisfied.

I wish I wasn't so loving conflicted on Aegon. On one hand Jon Connington is legit a cool character and I like the Aegon is the only character in the entirely of ADwD who actually makes significant headway on his goals without getting outright hosed by needless padding, but on the other it complicates and dilutes the very little impact and relevance Dany still has to Westeros.

All it seems to point to is an absolute clusterfuck wherein it's Aegon vs. Dany in some capacity, and while that might be interesting in a vacuum we still have the Lannisters, Stannis, the pitiful remains of the Starks, and the Night's Watch complicating the proceedings and those are just the headlining factions.

I just didn't overly like how he is just thrown in to the mix with very little buildup what so ever. All we get is Tyrion being all "I'm very smart, you're the murdered son of Rhaegar, I'm so smart~". Just kinda poor form.
