GEORGE R.R. MARTIN DOESN’T APPROVE OF FANFICTION.  STOP WRITING IT RIGHT THE FUCK NOW. 

lol no

It was, famously, six years between the last Song of Ice and Fire book and this one. What was George R.R. Martin doing all that time? Was he wandering in the wilderness? Was he sunning on the beaches of Dorne? No: he was girding his loins and rallying the banners, and he has come charging back with one of the strongest books of the series, and the year. Dance with Dragons puts us back in the main narrative stream of A Song of Ice and Fire: we go into exile with the black-humored dwarf Tyrion, raise dragons with Daenerys, walk the wall and brood with Jon Snow. The artistry and savagery of Martin’s storytelling are at their finest: he has seized hold of epic fantasy and is radically refashioning it for our complex and jaded era, and the results are magnificent. It’s anyone’s guess who will wind up ruling the Seven Kingdoms, but in the realm of epic fantasy, there is only one true king, and it’s Martin.

I can’t even. How fucking delusional can you be.

that I’m actually getting shit done for school.

This isn’t right.

This is not a call for institutionalized censorship, you ignorant jack-asses. It’s a call for self-awareness, empathy, kindness, and possible even **gasp** self-censorship.

You have the right to say whatever you want. However, I have the right to think you are an asshole.

For fuck’s sake. Why is this all so hard?

I swear, people will fight harder against being a decent human being than they will over anything else.

Perfect.

Just wondering how this theory came about.

I honestly don’t remember anything from AFFC and don’t hate myself so I won’t be rereading it but what was there in the text to support that?

I mean with Renly and Loras it was beyond obvious, hello Rainbow Guard and ‘praying’, but I’m drawing a blank with this one.

I’m brand new to the world of Game of Thrones (and macro making), so I’m sure some one has already done this a million years ago. But I thought of it last night, made it this morning, and wanted to share anyways. Hope you like it!

For some reason, in editing for posting, the creator tag (and email) of the submitter was lost.  So, publicly, thanks for dropping this here.  It’s fantastic! XD

Don’t be like that, Boromir. That’s why no one likes you.

I mean, yeah go ahead and bash characters, but authors work hard to get where they are and dedicate time and effort… don’t bash them. Yes you have an opinion, no need to go hating about it.

…however Stephanie Meyer is the exception…

1.) No, I love bashing authors. Who cares how hard they work if they are fucking ungrateful arseholes or just awful in general.

2.) ‘no need to go hating about it.’ You could say the exact same thing about loving an author. How fucking boring if people only talked about stuff they liked.

3.) I hate Stephenie just as much as the next person but she’s not an exception. You’re basically saying ‘don’t bash authors unless it’s someone I don’t like.’ How silly.

Let us review the thought process that just led me to google image searching ‘prolapsed uterus’.

1.) Reading ONTD post about Michelle Dugger’s miscarriage.

2.) Someone mentions her uterus falling out multiple times.

3.) People are grossed out.

4.) People want to know more.

5.) People are told about prolapsed uteri.

6.) People are also told not to look up prolapsed uterus in google images.

7.) I read and process all of this.

8.) I go to google images.

9.) I type in ‘prolapsed uterus’.

10.) I am simultaneously horrified and fascinated.

11.) I close the tab.

12.) I look at my life, I look at my choices.
