blood + glory

confusedtree:

Some observations now that I’m caught up with every book of the A Song of Ice And Fire series that Game Of Thrones has shot episodes for:

Tyrion is consistently great

If you were to describe Daenerys’ entire arc to someone who has no emotional investment in the series they’d probably think you were talking about a particularly awful Nightwish music video

Nobody decent in this series is ever allowed to be happy apparently. It is illegal

I want someone to run an analysis of every page in the series thus far and create a pie chart showing how many of those pages talk about pee, poop or farts because let me tell you it is a sizeable percentage

It’s cool how each book has a different central feel to it - A Storm of Swords has a ton of action, A Clash of Kings feels like a very shrewd chess game and A Game of Thrones is like a periodical starring Ned Stark as the world’s worst detective

Like that one passage in which Littlefinger straight-up tells Ned “hey dude trusting me will end really bad for you I’m not even kidding” and then Ned proceeds to… trust him

I didn’t realize what all the stuffamaguff with Thoros was seeding in A Storm of Swords and I was reading it on a flight from Frankfurt to Toronto and when I got to the epilogue of the book I yelped and startled a baby

“Hot Pie looked like Hot Pie” is a weird-ass sentence that makes little to no sense outside of context but in context is literally the best six words George R. R. Martin will probably ever write

It’s interesting how Sansa’s arc sees her placing her trust in something that breaks her and in spite of her frenzied attempts to escape it, she is trapped in a world of emotional torment because that’s precisely what will befall anyone dumb enough to read these books

it’s all true.
