“When every post is time stamped and self-reblogs abound,” said Mirri Maz Duur. “When ask limits are abolished, and replies can be replied to in turn. When Safe Dash is standard, and I can blog in the presence of others. Then I will uninstall Missing E, and not before.”

Beautiful graphics that label Rickon’s direwolf incorrectly give me heartache.

[not really a spoiler but this is about a character in the books show fans wouldn’t know anything about yet]
I had a thought last night. Wouldn’t it be typical if Howland Reed turns up eventually like everyone expects in ASOIAF, to answer the questions that only he can, and then he gets killed before he can say a damn thing? It just seems like something Martin would do. It would be...

shipping in other fandoms: they are sooo cute I hope they get together and get married and have cute babies and live happily ever after~
shipping in ASOIAF: okay I know if they get together one will definitely have to die probably in the other’s arms or even will actually be killed by the other person and that’s okay I’ve already accepted it but actually they probably won’t...

ulfricgreyjoy said: well, its nerdy fantasy fiction. there *is* still an overabundance of young men enjoying this particular genre, even if we all wish it were more evenly distributed.

Reason #9567 why USA Today is a joke
“Thanks to HBO’s hit adaptation, Martin ascended from best-selling cult writer (especially popular with young men) to king of the book world.”
Huh? How exactly did they determine that he was especially popular with young men? Way to reinforce a stereotype by spewing out a shit article without any real knowledge of the topic. But hey, it’s USA Today, I don’t know why...

2011 TV Newsmaker: Game of Thrones →
Article with a few nice new quotes. This is the best quote, from our Tywin:
Charles Dance, who plays Lord Tywin Lannister, was not in early Season 1 episodes, and recalls his first impressions from a London screening. “You saw all this violence and all this rumpy pumpy - and it’s all doggie fashion,” the venerable British actor says with an incredulous laugh, in between...

notstrangebutdifferent asked: i make it point to immerse myself in their world so the creepy factor isn't there for me but I still see it (does that make sense) I have to say its 1000% creepier when you factor in dothraki (and BLATANTLY wild-ling) culture is based on strength to lead, the rule is if they CAN'T take them by force they don't deserve them it opens up alot of interpretations of Dany going through...

quixim said: Wait, wouldn’t it lower it because he’s super crazy hot though?
Nah, ‘cause if he wasn’t so ridiculously beautiful, I’d feel the Stockholm sexy weird effects much less.
tenthmuse asked: That's a really interesting point you made about the Drogo/Dany thing, I'd not thought of it that way before but now I'm definitely inclined to agree with you. I was super shocked with how the show treated it initially, but it's been awhile since I read the book so I completely forgot that for the next few chapters, Dany hated everything. No matter what way you swing it...
electivires asked: @the book vs show debate - I also think it's because Dany is supposedly 13 years old. No matter what, the scene is skeevy, but the rape description would just overwhelm it. I agree, it's a lot more believable in the show, but I think a lot of people would have put the book down four or so chapters in if it described the scene as shown in the show.

Reading GoT and just got to Dany's wedding night...
reelaroundthefountain:
[TRIGGER WARNING FOR DISCUSSION OF RAPE]
She wasn’t raped? SHE WASN’T RAPED? Like, Drogo was very very gentle and respected her body and explicitly asked if she consented and she said yes and obviously there is a big power dynamic here and she’s been told for years she’ll have to lie back and think of Westeros but she consented and it’s from her point of view and she...

Dear @HBO and @GameofThrones :
laceandlaudanum:
fuckyeahwinterfell:
To echo this TumblrofThrones post from December 10, please kill the use of #THRONIES! As very few fans seem to respond to the term -and based on the mood ‘round the webz and the real world, it turns most people off and enrages others- it’s not too late! Please kill it! Kill it with fire! Kill it with Ice! Just kill it dead!
#thronies just sounds...

wonderlund asked: NO ONE CALLS MY DAENERYS A SLUT! She's the one true heiress of the Iron Throne. She's a flawed, complex character and does not deserve to be called a slut, such as Sansa does not deserve the hate she gets, and even Cersei (who I hate) has her moments, or had. I just had to vent this. This guy's comments pissed me off.
josephmckeown asked: You still couldn't have called Sansa strong before Feast though. Even if they were her ideas she was still basically blind to the truth, being effectively led on by the abusive Joffrey and his mother. Olena Redwyne is one example of a woman that's been consistently strong, and is still (I think) affecting things from behind the scenes. I was /quoting/ Viserys. Don't get all...
josephmckeown asked: Brienne does what she wants but she's still not really affecting anything major. At least until what I suspect will end up happening with Jaime happens. Sansa was only doing that because of her fairy tale idea of being a queen etc. I didn't say Arya was totally controlled, just that she's been getting pushed around and is only now really at a point where she's in control of her...
antigone2283 asked: Wow, just wow, to the poster of your last Ask. The men of the story go around raping and wenching and spawning bastards across the continent, and Dany's the slut? Because she, what? Enjoyed sex with her husband? Enjoyed sex at all? HOW DARE SHE! And Dany as a failed Queen....well, she's still alive, and still fighting, which is more than you can say for the majority of the men who have...
josephmckeown asked: Arya and Sansa asserted nothing before Feast/Dance really, I won't spoil things but until they get to the points they're at now they weren't at all in control of what they were doing. Arya maybe, but she was still controlled by external forces. Brienne is her own woman I agree but she's still just a piece. Dany's doing her best, but it's nowhere near good enough -...
josephmckeown asked: To be honest I disagree, mostly anyway. Brienne is a total pawn, as was Dany, who went from horselord's slut to a pretty useless Queen. Cersei is a complete nutter, who's probably going to die/be made irrelevant soon. Arya and Sansa went from being pointless to "could have massive impacts", Mel is a big character though. Probably forgotten a few.

now in glorious hd!
On the odd chance that you had not seen it, thought I’d drop it here for your embedding pleasure -which does not sound vaguely pervy, at all…
tumblrofthrones sez: oh yes, it’s pervy. Flawless fucking pervy! THANK YOU!

hazehaze reblogged this and added:
BRIENNE! Darken your haiirrrr though /: Look to Lannister aha
Brienne was a blonde- her hair is described as “straw-colored” in the books. Straw-colored is pale blonde.
