Hashara is Canon

I flew halfway across the world to see the Mad King play and it was incredible.

I just redownloaded the Bluesky app to let you all know that This Year is Winds Year.

One of my oldest friends is getting into ASOIAF and asking me questions. I’m far from an expert, but I’ve agreed to be his halfmaester. Gonna post his Qs and my As here to try and juice some ASOIAF conversation. Jump in and tell me what I’m getting wrong and especially spill the tinfoil tea.

George RR Martin has given me hundreds of hours of entertainment. There have been times in my life where obsessing about his worlds prevented me from obsessing and spiraling about my own. He owes us nothing. If he doesn’t write another word, I owe him a profound debt.

I loved the not very subtle jab that knights and sex workers are both just doing what rich lords will pay them to do. Dunk and Egg could be a remarkable vehicle for class consciousness in Westeros and the real world, if the show runners don’t chicken out.

The Leftovers, no question

Yo! I’m here for this level of crackpotitude!

King of the Andals, Rhoynar, and First Men. Khal of the Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Chains… not too shabby.

Does Essos get long Westeros style winters? Dothraki, Illyrio, etc never seem to mention it.

Every where I look people are calling Carol from Pluribus “unlikeable” - I get we are supposed to think that from the pilot, but I think she’s behaving just fine given the circumstances

I just finished the first episode of @davosfingers.bsky.social (only 12 years after it was released 🤣) and 1) it rocked but 2) it’s fucking lunatic behavior to have a a smoke detector beeping in your house for any period of time but especially recording a podcast.

My most idiosyncratic political opinion is that tennis courts at parks are racist and classist.

this is wild

Christopher Columbus is in The Bad Place.

His whole story is about finding meaning after disability. The story doesn’t hold back on the hard truths, it’s honest: yes it sucks, yes it’s hard, life isn’t going to be what you thought it was and you can’t do what others can do and what you wanted. But there is still so much you can do.

Now that the marketing push is over for Dunk and Egg show, GRRM can focus in on the best way to announce WINDS later this year

I AM SO FREAKIN EFFIN EXCITED

Who is the Tattered Prince and why do I care that he wants Pentos?

The perfect Democrat does not exi…..

The Citadel sells dead bodies to The Others.

Pretty sure Obie’s talking about the day Winds drops later this year. You can buy me a ginger ale at the next IAFC or whatever thing happens where I will be taking infinite victory laps.

It’s funny and depressing listening to old podcasts complaining that winds of winter wasn’t out back in 2016 or whatever. Thank the gods THIS YEAR IS WINDS YEAR.

Here’s how it would go: Ned: free my sister you fucking cowards! Dayne: we aren’t keeping her hostage, we’re keeping her safe! From you! Ned: what? Arthur: what?
