A really big rock is at some point just a mountain. Building your fortress into a mountain is cool, but it’s a different kind of cool than having a monolith as your fortress.

Tyrion Lannister was sitting on the ledge above the door to the Great Hall, looking for all the world like a gargoyle. The dwarf grinned down at him. "Is that animal a wolf?" "Too hot, too noisy, and I'd drunk too much wine," the dwarf told him. "I learned long ago that it is considered rude to vomit on your brother. Might I have a closer look at your wolf?" Jon hesitated, then nodded slowly. "Can you climb down, or shall I bring a ladder?" "Oh, bleed that," the little man said. He pushed himself off the ledge into empty air. Jon gasped, then watched with awe as Tyrion Lannister spun around in a tight ball, landed lightly on his hands, then vaulted backward onto his legs. Ghost backed away from him uncertainly. The dwarf dusted himself off and laughed. "I believe I've frightened your wolf. My apologies."

Knuc U Kinte posted:Check this out, they made a whole rear end show: https://www.hbo.com/game-of-thrones Yeah but the book and show canon differ. In the book canon, Dany is the child of Rhaegar and Lyanna, brought to Starfall by Ned and swapped for Brandon and Ashara’s baby, Jon. Arthur Dayne survived and became known as Qorin Halfhand. Rhaegar was allowed by Ned to take the black, deserted, and is now known as Mance Rayder. Ashara is the Dusky Woman.

He’s got a couple years left till he its the life expectancy at birth for U.S. males. A random U.S. man who is already seventy‐four years old would be expected to live to about his eighty‐sixth birthday. Now those are figures for a generic man, not one of his wealth, or race, or body mass, and the table I used is notably from 2019. I’m not his life insurance agent; I just want to point out that life expectancy at birth isn’t particularly meaningful when talking about older people.

Say what you want about GRRM’s series currently ending in its main text with Dany’s account of diarrhœa, at least he hasn’t wrapped up the books with the main character pondering whether his slave will bring him a sandwich.quote:“That wand’s more trouble than it’s worth,” said Harry. “And quite honestly,” he turned away from the painted portraits, thinking now only of the four- poster bead lying waiting for him in Gryffindor Tower and wondering whether Kreacher might bring him a sandwich there, “I’ve had enough trouble for a lifetime.”

At least The Princess and the Queen contains a story that can be adapted to television. I don’t know how they expect to turn Aegon’s Conquest into something watchable.

One good idea I heard is that the story should be told primarily from the perspective of the Seven Kings. Or however you count them. One was a queen.

I’m hoping that the Incident at the Coronation was the show runners suffering from acute action withdrawal and that with actual scripted battles between Blacks/Greens/proxies taking place, while they might depict these battles inelegantly, they’re not going to take a wrecking ball to the general structure of the plot to get their action fix in. The scene with Damon drawing out the Crabfeeder’s men is not all that well written or choreographed, but it’s self‐contained succ. It doesn’t corrode the rest of the show.

It’s from Sam’s fourth chapter in A Feast for Crows, the sex scene with Gilly aboard the Cinnamon Wind. quote:And suddenly his cock was out, jutting upward from his breeches like a fat pink mast.

George can’t finish the story, but he can’t admit to himself or anyone else that he can’t finish the story. Everyone would be happier if he hired someone else to do it and retired to the Canary Islands or whatever he wants to do in his dotage.

All anyone else knows is what Bran has told them, so they accidentally confirm his mistaken identification of the TEC with Bloodraven in their minds and in his own. The CotF are not familiar with “the three‐eyed crow”. quote:"No. They killed him long ago. Come now. It is warmer down deep, and no one will hurt you there. He is waiting for you." Even Bloodraven is confused by it and thinks that Bran is asking him if he is a man of the Night’s Watch. quote:"Are you the three-eyed crow?" Bran heard himself say. A three-eyed crow should have three eyes. He has only one, and that one red. Bran could feel the eye staring at him, shining like a pool of blood in the torchlight. Where his other eye should have been, a thin white root grew from an empty socket, down his cheek, and into his neck. e: Also Coldhands quote:Meera's gloved hand tightened around the shaft of her frog spear. "Who sent you? Who is this three-eyed crow?" Platystemon fucked around with this message at 23:35 on Jun 2, 2023 |

The North should be totally reliant on southron granaries when winter comes, if not outright uninhabitable, but I’m pretty sure that that’s not what Martin was thinking, and it’s not why Cregan knelt.

George tosses the five‐year gap. Stannis’ army was wrecked at the Blackwater. George need Stannis to rout the wildlings and threaten the Boltons. “Somehow, the Mountain Clans returned.”

pidan posted:Yeah I might take back that last one. I was thinking about how even the city people and nobles should run out of food pretty quickly if they get all the peasants killed, but I think that does come up a few times. Riots in King's Landing and such. Not in Fire & Blood it doesn’t. The Riverlands fight three kingdoms at the same time, on their own territory, lose catastrophically in many battles, but the muppets just keep coming up with more troops.

The analysis that Quentyn is still alive at the end of A Dance with Dragons is decently supported from the text. However, there’s no way that George intended that. The answer to “there’s inconsistencies in the text!” isn’t usually that there’s some deep subtextual structure that explains everything. It’s that George is an inconsistent writer.

The Pink Letter was probably intended to be written by Ramsay and that’s probably what George will stick with, as opposed to say the lemon tree in Bravos that he seems to be turning from an author error into an actual twist, or the catspaw’s employer that I think that he left open for himself and not very convincingly tried to tie up later. If not Ramsay, my candidate is Melisandre.
