Maybe there's hope, maybe Victarion being down with the red god means he's going to inevitably join Stannis and maybe Stannis gets some poo poo down, but more than likely they'll both be selected to fly two dragons and have to suicide bomb themselves by flying them into the twins. Because the red god is Allah you see.

I dont know I'm reaching here. I think it's just a poorly modified heraldic lion meant to represent a dire wolf. Finished my combined Feast/Dance re-read last night. I'd say it was better than reading them separately because at least I had some inkling of what everyone was up to, and didn't have to wait for the twists to be revealed in the next book. On the other hand, it was a bit tough to get involved in certain characters' storylines, as they had so few chapters. Overall there are just way too many POV characters in the series, so I could see a few more getting the proverbial or literal axe early on in the (Words are) Winds of Winter.

He hangs around a firepit on a soundstage with a sunset-lit cyclorama in the background, eats a mutton leg or something, talks smack about his shitfucking baby loser cousin goddamn bitch Arthur "Sword of the Boring, am I right?" Dayne, and cuts off a little girl's ear before running shrieking into the desert. Shannon can spare an afternoon or two for that.

To be fair, 15 isn't statutory rape in a lot of countries, even including ones in Western Europe and Latin America to this date. The fact that the Gurm likes to write about sex lives of 15 year-olds is creepy as hell, but statutory rape isn't really a clear-cut line like that.

I dunno, I feel like GRRM is the kind of guy who bought a sporty car decades ago and just refuses to give it up despite his unseemly girth and improbable mass obliterating even the potential for shocks back in the 90's, leaving the driver's seat permanently reclined into the rear passenger compartment. He most likely drives a 1984 Toyota Celica.

Wouldn't GRRM be rolling in dollars these days? Surely he would have upgraded his mode of transportation in response? I'm thinking a tricked out Hummer, or some other rather large vehicle proper for a man of his girth and wealth.
