I guess it is time for my bi-annual check in. Has Ser Fat-gently caress achieved anything of note in the last six months? I'm sure that he isn't actually working on the next book or anything like that... but anything creepy or poo poo-dick-y?

He released a ten year old arya chapter that has the word rape in it more than a dozen times

This was what I saw when I first read your post. Probably closer to reality. Well I'll check back in in 6 months or so unless WOW gets released (impossible) or the fat bastard dies (likely).

Does anyone still have the link to that dramatic reading of the chapter in FFC where Sam has awkward sex with Gilly and porno music plays in the background? I swear it was in one of the earlier threads here and it was the funniest poo poo but I can't find it anymore.


That's the one! Thanks, it's even funnier than I remembered, forgot all about Sam's 'pink mast'.

Oh hey guys, I forgot that this was a thing that was still going on. How excited are we all for season 4 of the show? Soon all my friends that never read the books but think they are super huge fans of the series can shut the gently caress up about how Joff needs to die.

That Mercy chapter was the GRRMiest thing ever. I now feel about this book series the way I felt watching the first episode of Spartacus: Blood and Sand. You guys remember that? The lovely 300 ripoff that we only watched because we heard Lucy Lawless was gonna show her tits, but then it turned out the show was really good? Like that but in reverse, like, "gee I wonder how loving bad he is going to ruin this thing that used to be so good."

Like a glistening golden trainwreck.

Edit: If I change my avatar, will I still have my gang tag? Because holy poo poo that thing is dated.

I think gang tags are DIY at this point. Copy the image URL off someone else's tag which should be hosted on fi.somethingawful.com or some such and use that in your custom title.

I got it to work once when I was dead drunk but someone must have disliked it because I woke up with an Ainsley Harriot avatar.

Time to update the wild cards gang tag to something more GRRM specific, like 'Sticky Little Princes'.

It's supposed to be that she gets so into character that she thinks of herself as a completely different person. Sort of like how Sansa became Alayne.

If you mean that she was in her cat of the canals persona then it's definitely not so, she specifically says that Mercy wouldn't know the girls from 'the happy port' which she knew as cat of the canals. It's new persona.

Arya is a Faceless Man now, like Jaqen back in book 2 if you'll recall. She can change into different people at will. Her ADWD chapters are excellent (as well as surprisingly philosophically profound), so you should probably read them.

The same goes for her little brother Bran's chapters in the book, which have some really beautiful scenes. What's cool is that he is now essentially a crippled omniscient demigod, not dissimilar from Cerebro-enhanced Professor X from the X-Men.

Some may call character developments like these power creep, but I just call it awesome. The Starks are gearing up and upping the stakes, and becoming a true force to be reckoned with (Sansa, too, though more by becoming a shrewd political player rather than through supernatural abilities).

I wonder if the Starks are going to wind up as the villains of the series by the end. Catelyn is already an undead monster, Sansa's becoming a sociopath under the tutelage of Little Finger, Bran is very likely becoming the leader of the White Walkers, and Arya is a coldhearted assassin. The only one left is Rickon who may already be a cannibal.

Dany is going to be the villain, and maybe jon the hero who stops her. (I'd say about 40% confidence on the first, 10% on the second prediction.)

When you are 50 is when time collapses into a single point. When all possible GURMs exist simultaneously, a new wild cards book will appear. Oh, and Brandon Sanderson finishes the series in the same moment because GURM is simultaneously dead and alive, and did and did not give permission. (Intellectual property rape).
