Basically, that story makes zero sense any way you look at it it. It's just a dumb troll, joke or misunderstanding from the actor

And I'm telling you everything dumb or that didn't make sense in this cursed franchise turned out to be real so the books are real

I mean, for a long time he was like "Yeah, it's almost done. Like 6 months". It would be smart to publish WoW right after the show ends. It would sell like crazy.

But no way some actor who hasn't been on the show for years knows about that contract and how much GRRM has been writing.

Sweden doesn't do religion. But if they did, it would probably be the best religion in the world.

In all honesty, I could totally see him wanting to capitalize on dissatisfaction with the show. "Hey read the real story here, totally gonna satisfy your shipping angst pinkypromise!"

I have it on good authority that Grum finished both books in 2013 but then his 1992 piece of poo poo Pentium 2 croaked and took all the files with it, so he had to write the books again. And then this happened again in 2015 and 2018 so that's why the books are not getting finished. AMA

I hope the next book comes out and it’s like 900 pages of Dany still in Meereen and like 20 new characters get introduced and the plot expands even more and nothing actually progresses forward.

When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world Diabeetus.
The supposed leak of Jon joining the Night's Watch again is the loving STUPIDEST thing. There's nothing to protect you dumb rear end if there's a giant loving hole there now. I hate the character of Jon, he does all these stupid decisions, he could have hosed Dany and it'd been fine but nope, gotta keep chugging along being a drat dumb rear end. Push rope you stupid gently caress and saved thousands.

Best case book 6 is probably ending with Dany arriving at Westeros I think anyway; only to see Young Griff on the throne

Leaks says that Jon returns to the Wall and finds some fresh NK graffitti.

And then the series ends.

So in a way we can still get the "NK kills everyone" ending, it just happens offscreen as per usual for this series where big moments happen offscreen.

I mean the sole purpose of the night watch for the last 8 thousand years was to police the wildlings. And there are always going to be wildlings cause there is farmland north of the wall but the terrain and distances make it impossible for a medieval state to effectively control that land, so you need a mobile ranging force to keep poo poo under control and defend against raids

That may have been their purpose, but now there's a huge loving hole in a magic ice wall, so are you gonna guard that hole? Just the hole? Even if Jon finding NK graffiti justifies it, it's still a stupid loving move before he gets there. It's like calling MULLIGAN if you gently caress up, that's not how it works.

Upsetting shithead centrist white Twitter people made the show becoming bad worth it.

Seriously though, I always got the impression that taking the throne was always a more important priority for Dani that went above being beloved. Doesn’t excuse the rushed lazy writing though.

Yeah, dude. Do you really doubt it after what you've seen the past few weeks? I got hit on that detail so hard because it doesn't make any sense, but here's the thing about lovely leaks: they don't make any sense! I swore up and down that Euron and Jaime fight even when other leaks contradicted me, and guess what happened? A loving inexplicable fight between them.

Jon killing Dany will make him all guilt ridden so he's gonna go into self-imposed exile while wearing a black cloak cause he's in mourning.

It pisses me off that these people are genuinely pissed off about GOT

...in a way that completely validates whatever "alt right/"bros"/whatthefuckingever". Don't get me wrong, the showrunners are obviously doing a crap job with the show and arguably mishandling (as was basically foreseen) "representation" or whatever you want to call it.

But being a certain sort of public figure and going into full twitter meltdown just gives lovely people more ammunition.

I mean, I can't argue I'm not deriving entertainment from the meltdowns it in a, very, uh, goony way but it kinda hurts too.

Please don't construct your loving identity/opinions/life around a loving TV show or books written by a huge neckbeard. :piss:
