Honestly I have no idea if I’m going to even be interested in the show or not because I’m not overly fond of the Targaryen house (sorry y’all) but this tweet had me dying lmaoo
For anyone who wants to know what’s up with Linda Antonsson, the co-owner of Westeros.org, who likes to spout racist nonsense once in a while to troll the fandom. This week it’s HOTD casting she’s going on about. She hates almost everything, including Tumblr! Once upon a time, Bex wrote all the drama up, back in 2013 in the early years of Game of Thrones. Enjoy the read.
I’ve done a significant amount of soul searching and have decided that if Tom Wlaschiha/Jaqen H'ghar isn’t naked on Game of Thrones before the end of the season, I will track down D&D and pee on all they love.
Well…
I suggest you to keep hydrated all the time. May god bless you!
A Song of Ice and Fire is not about kings. It’s about the people who surround, support and get stomped on by kings in quests for thrones and power. In older fantasy stories, the young kings are the heroes and lead characters, so George R.R. Martin subverted that by presenting his story through the perspective of everyone but the kings. The tale is now told by the rulers’ friends, mothers, children, wives, and the other people who usually become fringe characters. The only ruler with a point-of-view chapter is Daenerys, and she is not a Westerosi king.
Robert, Joffrey, Renly, Robb, Stannis, Balon- they don’t get to tell the story. They aren’t the heroes of the story. There may not be any, but if there are, it’s not them.
This old post of mine is one of the reasons for why I suspected why Daenerys would never become Queen of Westeros, even though I doubted myself plenty of times because it’s easy to get sucked into her story. But she didn’t fit the pattern, so it seemed like George was showing his hand a little.
The point where logic breaks down is that Bran has loads of chapters. So after eight years, I have come to the conclusion that I guess I was wrong. Oops.
i condone and support every single vile deed my problematic faves have done. not only that i think they should have done bigger and worse atrocities than already committed. i think that would have been funny
The
series premiere Twitter recap is here! Journey back to 2011 with a

people thought before Game of Thrones became the global phenomenon it is today.
What unites people? Armies? Gold? Flags? Stories. There’s nothing in the world more powerful than a good story. Nothing can stop it. No enemy can defeat it. - Tyrion Lannister (8.06)
