Yeah, it's tumblr, so it's this. Every man is a potential rapist, after all. Well, according to the tumblr types anyway.

And goddamn it, some of us dudes are just loving big guys. I'm 6'5" and not a narrow-shouldered beanpole, I'm going to be edging into other people's space on the bus, I literally can do nothing about this.

That last part is demonstrably false. You could just saw off your legs below the knee, for instance, so you'll be shorter/of more average height.

So, git ta sawin'.

Transposed letter in the original manuscript. "Aword" has been corrected in the more current printings.

I have forgotten most of AFfC. Did it really end with "A word came out of her mouth" or something?

It's 'she screamed a word' and that's the final Brienne chapter, not that the end of the book. I think that the book ends with the Samwell chapter where he meets with Jaqen, or with the Doran going 'Fyah and Blud'.

But anyway the word is 'Sword'.

It ends with Sam meeting the disguised Jaqen.

465 days is only roughly one and a third years.

Although his actual probation is listed at ~4000 days. So either the book will be out, or GRRM will have likely died.

He got a 100,000 hour probation but that's basically a placeholder for the actual length since it's the only option the mods had to use short of banning him, which would mean he'd lose av/plat and the ability to lurk behind the paywall.

The description of the faceless man who kills Pate matches the description of Jaqen after he transforms infront of Arya, it has also been confirmed by the GURM himself.

I'm thinking I need to reread AFfC. I just don't pick up on things in this series. I was so proud of myself for figuring out who the bard in Bolton's Winterfell was :ohdear:

Because that would add an unnecessary character who would be hard to remember who's story could easily have been grafted onto someone....else...wait a minute.

In Aryas last chapter she starts thinking about lemon cakes, then she changes her mind because it was Arya of house Stark that liked those. I know Sansa likes lemon cakes, but has Arya ever talked or thought about them? What I'm wondering is if Arya is getting things mixed up and she's getting arya and Sansa confused and actually forgetting who she was. The last line in that chapter I believe is her answering "no one" and she's for once not called a liar.

When she was a peasant in Kings Landing she was fiending over some lemon cakes.
