Tu-pac Jon Snow ain't dead.

Or he's dead and Melssiandre's going to revive him since the show even made her go out of the way and meet Thoros and witness his ability to resurrect someone. Then HBO, D&D, GURM, and whomever else claimed he was dead can say they weren't lying. :shrug:

So basically the show is transferring the Lady Stoneheart character/storyline to Jon Snow then. That would also explain why they haven't introduced her on the show yet.

I honestly give no fucks that he's taking on idiot bigots and hosting hot rear end burlesque.

Lo, for I have given up hopes of any future books, and so something something he's not my bitch, etc.

Rationally, good for him. For the rest of us, we can write our own sequels or con other people into reading the series until the show finishes the job.

He even looks a little slimmer than he used to be. His life is picking up and it seems like he's really gotten his act together except for that one thing.

Start at The Darkness That Comes Before.

Word of warning, if ASOIAF is a 7 out of 10 on the bleak darkness scale, Bakker's Second Apocalypse series is a solid 10. It is very well-written and it's by no means a dumb grimdark series, definitely one of the most affecting set of books I have ever read, but you've been warned.

I like Bakker's fantasy names, esp when they translate to "Bitten-by-a-Chicken" (Canampurea) and "Death-Testicles" (Calmemunis).

The Second Apocalypse fan forum is semi-active but your account needs to be approved by a moderator. I tried to register three or four weeks ago and I never heard back.

At least in Bakker's case it sounds like the book is finished, he's just being dicked around by the publisher.

I know there's a decent amount of crossover between the Second Apocalypse forums and the Bakker threads over on Westeros in their literature sub forum, you could probably get the attention of one of them in one of those threads. I think that's one of the reasons the Second Apocalypse forums are slow too, as Westeros gets a lot more traffic and has a ton of Bakker threads, so I think that bleeds off a lot of people who would've otherwise posted over at SA.

Yeah the loose ends are just dangling at this point. GRRM still needs to be tried and probably hung for crimes against humanity, but his silly little story about not-D&D characters doing complex real Adult™ things can go to hell.

If my "final months" you mean "His entire life".. yeah. All he's ever done is troll Cons for creepy ConSex and buy nerd poo poo. Although I'm sure the caliber of women has improved dramatically.

Anita Sarkeesian. Yeah it kind of looks like her. She is a lady who reviews video games and discusses how they are probably not great with respect to women and gets death threats .

Like she'll list every game that lets you virtually strangle a woman while calling her a bitch and the list will start at ms. pacman and be an hour long and you'll be like goddamn I guess this is really a thing that keeps happening for some reason as she suggests this is not great and the youtube comments will be uniformly "I WILL STRANGLE YOU, YOU BITCH" over and over.

In the books we only heard come into my castle as innuendo and I could only imagine it as playing doctor. I guess it's probably something boring like having to announce who you are and why you're here and who can vouch for you and listing heraldry but I don't know.

Really? I can see that but I thought the main variation of come-into-my-castle (not oo-er) was like Red Rover, Red Rover, Come On Over, I Choose the Colour [whatever] and if you were not wearing or showing whatever colour you had to hop on one leg to get to the safe zone and the catcher could grab you and then it was your turn.

Well Tyrion was thinking of something he could do with Penny and he decided she's terrible at cyvasse, and she's too common born to be able to play come-into-my-castle and specifically notes her not knowing any heraldry.

e: Hahaha holy poo poo if penny was tyrion's daughter then her wanting to be a buffoon and not knowing poo poo about politics, he's going to be like a tiny tywin putting his foot down ordering her to stop embarrassing him. Goddamn. It's like poetry, so it rhymes.

that's the Lord of the Crossing game

quote:

The way their game was played, you laid the log across the water, and one player stood in the middle with the stick. He was the lord of the crossing, and when one of the other players came up, he had to say, "I am the lord of the crossing, who goes there?" And the other player had to make up a speech about who they were and why they should be allowed to cross. The lord could make them swear oaths and answer questions. They didn't have to tell the truth, but the oaths were binding unless they said "Mayhaps," so the trick was to say "Mayhaps" so the lord of the crossing didn't notice. Then you could try and knock the lord into the water and you got to be lord of the crossing, but only if you'd said "Mayhaps." Otherwise you were out of the game. The lord got to knock anyone in the water anytime he pleased, and he was the only one who got to use a stick.
