George RR Martin, his age continues to increase, but what about his girth? Gaining? Losing? Haven’t kept track.
>>24681474he's lost weight recently, though when you're that old it's not always a good sign
Does George ever remember that he has a pair of functioning balls and that gallantry should be admired rather than condemned?>>24681482To be fair, at his weight, having that much weight is as bad a sign as losing so much.May Allah protect him, for I fear he was not praying as much as he should have been.
>Another interesting thing from the con, at one point in a panel GRRM was commenting that he didn’t like how in a lot of fantasy stories various races are all defined by a single personality (i.e. all orcs are evil, all elves are wise, etc), whereas it would be more realistic for various individuals within a race to have different personalities, viewpoints, etc. Some quick-witted audience member asked him how that idea applied to the Others in his own books, to which he replied, “I’m not gonna answer that.” Food for thought.So there are ice demons not hell-bent on the destruction of all things warm?
>>24681616George is a hypocritical hack who doesn’t know what the fuck he’s talking about or what he’s doing
>>24681616The Others are ice elves who hate humans because they view humans as stupid and evil
>>24681616The night queen was a good other who just loved human cock and the tales of her and the night king being evil is propaganda
>>24681616Ice will be the lesser evil compared to Fire. The Others might be a necessary force needed to defeat Euron. Also Jon seems to be the new Night King so maybe he's forced to marry the Other Queen at the end of the series in exchange for them sparing humanityFire-associated factions:>Euron>Daenerys>Quaithe>Melisandre>Moqorro/Victarion>Lady StoneheartIce-associated factions:>Others>House Stark>House Reed>Bloodraven/House Blackwood>Jon Snow>Braavosi Conspiracy (Faceless Men, Iron Bank, Petyr Baelish)
what's the real reason grrm is delaying so much?
Walk with me, my sweet summer child, and hear the tale of fat pink masts jutting into sopping wet myrish swamps and black nipples brushing against silk until her cunt became the world while in the privy the princess guzzled arbor gold and shat but the more she drank the more she shat until she was shitting brown water and around her the planks of the ship groaned like a fat man taking a shit while she cursed the gods and nuncle smiled as he broke his fast on black bread, bacon burned black, and mulled wine while capon-grease dribbled down his chin and onto the boiled leather of his jerkin for she was wet with love and did she not know words are wind and dark wings bring dark words and a lannister always pays her debts and mayhaps this is nothing but a mummers farce and useless as nipples on a breastplate and the princess has been fucking lancel and moonboy for all nuncle knows and he is the blood of the dragon for the night is dark and full of terrors but where do whores go and jon snow knows nothing and near enough makes no matter so nuncle smiled and dipped the heel of his bread into clam chowder and prayed for half a hundred more heh har HODOR
GRRM. It rhymes with worm.
Breaking news! After much thought, GRRM has agreed to allow Brandon Sanderson to complete his series! Sanderson has released an excerpt for his newly written chapter of The Winds of Winter! Spoilered below for those who want to experience it when the book is out.>The Winds of Winter by Brandon Sanderson.>Samwell I>Samwell Tarly had heard tell of the clitoris. They were in the books that made him tremble and squeak as a boy, and he had once asked his father Randyll Tarly maladroitly about it.>"Sam, my boy," said Randyll. "You are asking me questions that man was not meant to contemplate.">"Oh," said Sam, "That makes me feel very confused.">"Yes," said Randyll in a voice that suggested he was deep in thought. "There is much about women that are akin to hidden spells in the deep lore you must seek advanced magic of in Dragonstone to understand!">"Advanced magic of Dragonstone?" exclaimed Sam excitedly. "That's much more interesting than this clitoris! Can I know more? I feel very interested!">But father had sent him to the Wall shortly after. Now Gilly the Wildling stood without her clothes on before him. This made Sam feel uncomfortable and so he told her so.>"This makes me feel very uncomfortable.">"Do you not wish to be sexually interested in my naked body?" said Gilly.>Sam blushed bashfully.>"I'm sure you have a very.... fine clitoris, Gilly. That makes me feel... heated.">"They say Jon Snow is the Grand Maester of the Lord's Kiss... would you... maybe... like to...?">"This makes me feel scared!" cried Sam. "Do you know the deep magic of Dragonstone, Gilly?">Gilly put her clothes back on instantly.>"This is much more interesting than my clitoris! What are the rules of this magic?"
Is R'hllor a legitimate deity or just a glass candle user trolling the likes of Melisandre?
>>24681616Enter the grrm carnival of ideas were every possible story idea and element is crammed into a hypothetical book that’ll never release
>>24681826>"They say Jon Snow is the Grand Maester of the Lord's KissKek
>>24681776He hinged his endgame plan on bringing Jon back but then he realised brain transfer to a dog is a retarded excuse for this Gandalf the White shit
>George finishes a Storm of Swords >Instead of writing Feast he writes "A Wolf Among Lions">This book is purely Jaime, Tyrion, and Cercei (Kevan epilogue) >Adds maybe a few more chapters to what they would already have from Feast and Dance >This serves to tie loose ends>Feast takes place after five year time skipThoughts?
>>24681903Oh and Jon, thus the "Wolf" part.
I actually like Feast but Dance was so boring I couldn't finish it.
>>24681455> your grace, if I could ask...> WHAT?> if I could just...> I CAN"T HEAR YOU WAY UP HERE!
>>24681620>>24681843These guys get it.
>>24681826At least Sanderson finishes his books.
Did GRRM really plan to make Bran as much of a creepy autist in the books as he was in the show?
>>24682319Probably not, they had no idea what to do with him. Just like GRRM.
GRRM at Bubonicon: Winds is 70% done.Lol he said he was 75% done back in 2022Fuck this guyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpqekiY03IQ
>>24682430Yeah, fuck carmine and fuck preston
the 75% done figure was already debunked a while agohttps://youtu.be/Yg_a-5Zy58g?si=7MVxg-uTPZfUX3Gb&t=1325
>>24682430Never seen an author hate his most successful series like GRRM does
>>24681616George wanted a quick dunk but even the orcs in LOTR had personality traits while being evil. The White Walkers want to kill us...why???
>>24681776He didn't plan the series fully, and now nothing makes sense.
>>24682559dream of spring will explain it all :^)
>>24682559>I'm not gonna answer that (He doesn't know)
GRRM here.Can you please stop shitting on me?Thanks.
>>24682319He's eight and already breaking all the warg taboos without knowing.
>>24682619No
>>24682619Can you please finish the books?
>>24682619I only recognize the title GURM of House Worm, the First of His Name, King of the Cocks and the Cunts and the Capon, Lord of the Brown Water, and Protector of the Fat Pink Mast!"
>>24682319>>24682738Odds on him fucking Meera in Hodor’s body?
>>24683181Winds is taking so long because Gurm has been trying to write a version of this scene that his publisher will accept
>>24683181>Jojen is missing>Meera panics and withdraws from Bran, scared and worried>Bran doesn't know what to do to make her feel better>"I know! Hodor can hug her like my parents hugged me!" he thinks>Starts feeling something in his pants>Fucks her>Bloodraven throws him a party, as he's now a man
Imagine If Azor Ahai is actually half targ and half summer islander. Part BBC and part BWC. A song of ice and fire.
>>24683374He's actually a chinaman from Yi Ti
>>24683330Bloodraven and Bran watching all the rapes in history with a bucket of popcapons
>>24683380*descended from Yi Ti chinamen
>>24683408>you were so beautiful in your white wedding dress
>>24683516Ser Pounce is Euron is disguise.
Judge my Kingsguard:Lyn CorbrayMandon MooreGerold "Darkstar" DayneJaime LannisterMeryn TrantRobert StrongLoras TyrellI went for a mix of skill, violence and edginess
>>24683668Pretty fucking good. Although I would add in Selmy. He shits on everyone else there.
>>24682559>I’m not gonna answer that (He doesn’t want to spoil the mystery)
>>24682430The worst part is he's probably not lying, like at all, and no the--that's the second worst part actually, the FIRST worst part that's actually the worst is that it's not at all because of new pages i.e George going "Shit this is going to have to be an additional 1000 pages" it's because EDITING is a huge part of the process.It would not surprise me if he cut down 15%, and rewrote 10%, because he edits things himself.This is if we take him at face value of course, if he is not lying because it was already finished, then he actually has the backing for it to make sense in the worst way possible.
>>24681455never watched the tv seriesabout 50 chapters in the first bookand I can almost swear, half of the characters are like pic relatedwill this fatty ever finish Dunken & Egg? it was far more enjoyable
>>24682430It is so over...
Theory: Bittersteel was actually unironically telling the truth about everything and Daeron II truly was the illegitimate son of Aemon the Dragonknight.>Aegon IV, Aemon and Naerys directly mirror Robert Baratheon, Jaime and Cersei.>Aemon and Naerys is literally an in-universe chivalric love story like Jonquil and Florian the Fool>Aemon Targaryen, the maester, himself Daeron II’s grandson, even casually entertains the rumours saying Aemon was either his uncle or his father depending on which way you’re inclined - and he says this unironically with zero sarcasm or judgement. >Aegon IV’s nickname is the unworthy, GRRM has a habit of having unworthy lines like that of Maegor or Aegon II dying out. Aegon IV was unworthy of the line of the kings, is the subtext.The Blackfyre vs Targaryen struggle is the struggle between the legally legitimate line and the predestined saviour line of the PTWP prophecy. Which is why Bloodraven had to kill all the Blackfyres by any means necessary, he knew the truth.
What if winds comes out and it just sucks?
>>24684193It probably will suck at this point.
>>24684183Funny how Jon "nor was he Aemon Targaryen" Snow is such a mirror of Jaime, and Naerys's character description is "Dany but she got religion". Who's Aegon IV of the kids' generation? Not Faegon VI, I'm sure, he isn't gluttonmaxxed
>>24683826(the mystery is that he doesn't know)
>>24684417Faegon’s fat bastard harem corruption arc is waiting for him to take the throne. The Illyrio genes and the Aegon IV genes are going to kick in at the same time.
>>24684417Aegon, Aemon, NaerysBran, Jon, Sansathis is known
>>24684499Yyrkoon, Elric, Cymorilit all makes sense
>>24684506But Jon’s the traditionalist, masculine warrior that’s absolutely chomping at the bit to rule somewhere like Yyrkoon while Bran’s the magically empowered, physically impaired nerd that’s too enlightened to give a fuck about ruling like Elric - and yet is tragically fated to rule anyway.
>>24684566That is true, but Yyrkoon is also a sorcerer and the parentages line up better (Bran and Sansa are siblings, Jon is their cousin)Not to mention the whole "White Wolf" dealPerhaps the personality mismatch you laid out will be corrected as post-resurrection Jon and post-weirwood networked Bran, making Jon a physically impaired ice zombie resurrected with fire magic, while Bran takes over the bodies of others and manipulates history to become what he never could have been, such as being a strong warrior while taking over Hodor's bodyThe subversion of expectation will be that in this iteration of Elric's story, Yyrkoon (Bran) will actually gain the Ruby (Iron) throne as Elric (Jon) goes into exile or dies
>>24684499>>24684506>Sansa>CymorilJonsabros.....not like this....
which character will become wights in next books?
>>24681915It has the most fascinating chapters ever like Varamyr's prologue, Bran at CoTF cave and weirwood visions, Roose and Theon and Ramsay, Victarion emerging with the burning hand, some of the most iconic moments like "the North remembers", Cersei walk of shame, Dany at Daznak pit, Jon Snow assassination etc. Aaand then there's the remaining 70% of the book which are so full of pointless lore dumps and wheel-spinning that i'm not even sure why the editors didn't tell Martin that he lost his mind.
>>24684480Based. Faithcels can cry about it.
What are George's kinks and political power-fantasties?
>>24684992His kinks are lactating breasts, cuckoldry, gangbang, rape, big brown nipples, incest, hebephilia, necrophilia, beastiality, redheads, incest, cunnilingus, women dying in childbirth, juices/grease running down chins and moonboy for all I know. His political power-fantasy is an 8 year old running a surveillance state.
>>24685000>His political power-fantasy is an 8 year old running a surveillance state.From Big Brother to Little Brother.
Can I get a good asoiaf audiobook PLEASEI looked everywhere and all that I got was>roy dotrice, who makes everyone talk like a pirate>sharon grunwald, an old hag who can't read for shit>random newbies with xbox mics on youtube (last seen ahorse/DavidReadsASoIaF included)The only decent one was Gleb, and that fool only read book 1 until chapter 50 or so, 7 months ago.famous books get TONS of narrations, but not this?
>>24684992Step 1: He likes diarrhea a lot.Step 2: He thinks that monarchy survived for centuries based on luck when if the peasants starve, the king starves soon after, and even post Renaissance societies were not immune to bad harvests. His power fantasy is some sort of enlightened dictator who rules for the people, but he never studied the French Revolution so he doesn't know how it ends for his Robespierre.Step 3: I think he fucked this one up because he doesn't really have a magic system, it's just kind of whatever's cool at the time.
>>24685028>Doesn't like Roy DotriceFiltered
>>24685028DavidReadsASOIAF is based and fixed most of his audio problems by ASOS
>>24685028The spinoffs get quality readings. Harry Lloyd did Dunk & Egg very well, Iain Glen did The Princess and the Queen and I think The Rogue Prince.
>>24684636> Yyrkoon (Bran) will actually gain the Ruby (Iron) throne as Elric (Jon) goes into exile or diesIsn’t that exactly what happened? Until yrkoon got cucked by his sister?
>>24685028They need to hire fucking Andy Serkis, his LOTR readings are fucking GOATed
>>24685073that puzzled me and annoyed me as much, non of them dared to read asoiaf>>24685058>is a filthy american AND make 0 effortinto the dumpster he goes
>>24685118>music and sound effects in an audiobookfuck that, Rob Inglis is the only option
>>24684819Don't worry, Sansa isn't based and will never rule. Arya, on the other hand...
Satin’s fuzzy nuts
What is this foreshadowing?
>>24685800a game of thrones, a clash of kings, and a storm of swords are so damn good. I've mentioned it before in these threads, but it's a crying shame what happened to the later books/the series in general. All of the awesome moments just pissed away in pathetic dribble.
>>24685800That she'll be forced to do things she hates because life is fundamentally unfair.
>>24685865Everything in the last two books flows from the first three.
Okay what the actual FUCK actually happened to Aerea in Valyria?
>>24685878a feast for crows and particularly a dance with dragons are gurm at his worst. endless POVs, and largely pointless, meandering plot which is nothing like the first three books.
>>24685883The stranger smited her
Her, her. It rhymes with cur.
>>24681776His "garden variety" writing that he shilled backfired and now we have 2 books of pure bloat where instead of the plot moving forward it meanders while a fuckton of new plotlines and characters get introduced
>>24685670When i become king I'm going to ban all boywhores.
>>24686277He could have made this work if he actually gave a shit about his ip and wasn't seduced by wealth and fame and hollywood.
>>24685000
>>24685175None of those are in the Serkis readings
>>24685883There are creatures that can implant or impregnate (not like youre thinking) eggs into organisms for mass reproduction. Like the Parasitic Wasp. Aerea probably got attacked, Balerion fought off whatever did it and wounded it, and when they burst from Aerea like an exploding watermelon they insta-died in the water, and they had tiny hands and faces.
>>24683668>Lyn Corbray
is book Tyrion 4chan or reddit?
I have found a truly silly crossover
>>24681826for WoTreally the character that brando sando fucked up the most was easily MatI don't really blame him, Mat is strongly enough the most military coded of any character in WoTnot in a fighting sense but in that his archetype is only really found in the militarythe only person close to Mat I've found in something is Ray from Generation Kill, if that makes any sense
>>24687528I never understood GRRM’s worldbuilding in EssosInland you have all this lush arable land with thousands of years of history and 400 years of freedom from dragonnigger oppression and there’s just… nothing there? It’s not even close to the Dothraki sea so it’s not like horseniggers are a particularly good excuse either - especially when there used to be vast inland polities in Sarnor and Essaria that they destroyed.What happened to the rest of it? They AGOT mod for CK2 tries to make sense of this and fill in the blanks and the result is a continent where the Dothraki are never a meaningful threat to anyone west of the Rhoyne, as the only ones that ever show up are stray landless micro stacks.
>>24687546population densities have always been retarded in this setting westeros too but even moreso in essos
>>24687505He’s banned from Reddit tier, somewhere between both erring on the Reddit side.4chan characters>Craster>The Greyjoys>Darkstar>Littlefinger>That Hightower guy that hasn’t left his house in decades>Jorah Mormont >Walder Frey>Ramsay Bolton
>>24687564idk he DID rape that prostituteactually that's pretty standard for reddit, redditors act like they are above everything but they still have a shitton of rapey as fuck porn subs
hi, i wasnt sure if i should posted this here or reddit, but i was the one who confronted martin in the last event at the Q&A ask him about Winds. Everyone booed me, im not proud of it but someone has to do it
>>24687611you're a faggot you know that right
>>24687611as the other anon said you are a fag and I hope you change your faggy ways but I do appreciete george heckling and he deserves it so you should feel some pride.
Any further updates on the "who's finishing this when you die" shitshow?
>>24687611honestly basedfuck the GIDF
>>24687611Absolutely based and I kneel, but also you will never be a (sorry I forgot which sex you are trying to ape).
>>24681455So why was the Kingsguard at the TOJ? Surely they should be protecting their king across the narrow sea
>>24687882Aerys accidentally created a loophole by not knowing Lyanna was pregnant so he neglected to disinherit him the same way he disinherited Aegon and Rhaenys. Therefore Jon Snow was born king. Or at least that’s probably what Arthur Dayne and Oswell Whent were thinking, likely being as drunk on the prophecy juice as Rhaegar was.
>>24687882>So why was the Kingsguard at the TOJ? Rhaegar personally sent them there. When he did so he justified it by the vital importance of le prophecy, but actually dude was just turbosimping Stark puss and in denial about that. Rhaegar in general appears to be driven by just doing whatever he wants and taking whatever he wants (le dragon) while masterfully rationalizing it for himself with some intergenerational 6D chess bullshit.
>>24687889The very strange thing is that Gerold Hightower was sent to retrieve Rhaegar and yet he himself was converted to the cause despite being an Aerys loyalist and hailing from a house that's closely tied with the faith which would heavily frown on the whole absconding with Lyanna thing.
>>24687611Proud of you
>>24687906>an Aerys loyalistI have doubts regarding existence of any legitimate Aerys loyalists by that point.
>>24687918>"When King's Landing fell, Ser Jaime slew your king with a golden sword, and I wondered where you were.">"Far away," Ser Gerold said, "or Aerys would yet sit the Iron Throne, and our false brother would burn in seven hells."What did he mean by this?
So Rhaegar thought he was birthing THE prophecy baby when he absconded with Lyanna right? Cause if he just needed a third kid he could’ve easily chosen some minor noble, or even a fucking whore. What was his thought process?
>>2468793714yo horsegirl pussy
>>24687929For once, it is a dream. It is quite unlikely that the real exchange was as poetic as we see it. Secondly, being Rhaegar loyalist does not mean overthrowing Aerys. Rhaegar coup seems to be pure Aerys paranoia, in actuality Rhaegar and his dudes were doing his thing while patiently waiting for Aerys to die in his sleep and just politely recognizing his legitimate authority until then.
>>24687943This doesn't sound like they were waiting for Aerys to die in his sleep.>Rhaegar had put his hand on Jaime's shoulder. "When this battle's done I mean to call a council. Changes will be made. I meant to do it long ago, but . . . well, it does no good to speak of roads not taken. We shall talk when I return."
>>24687955The council was going to be about legalising polygamy
>>24687611Good job, if George didn't want to get harassed the last few years of his life to finish Winds he should have finished it years ago.>>24687878They're a ftm assuming it's really them.
>>24684183>Daeron II truly was the illegitimate son of Aemon the DragonknightFucking obviously.
>>24685000I kneel to these trips.
So you think Maegor knew how to please his women? Or did he just plow until he shot blanks? Totally uncaring?
>>24685883They were either firewyrms or some sort of fucked up biological horror from all the rampant blood magic Valyria practiced.
>>24687611Fuck George Larp Larp Martin. He fully deserved that treatment.
>>24688079Couldn’t even get an erection, micropenis energy.Not like Aegon IV, clearly all his mistresses were willing and eager, massive fat pink mast, pussy farmer. Root of his problem with Naerys was probably that his cock was too big for her.
>Have 3 smoking hot sisters, any of which he could marry, maybe even all of them if he was feeling brave>Locked em up Gayest faggot in Planetos history?
>>24688216>Locked em updangerously based
>>24688216He's a faggot Jesus allegory who thankfully died.
The targaryens are stupid and boring.
>Daena the Defiant gives birth to Daemon Blackfyre>Refuses to name the father>Baelor the Blessed immediately fasts and prays for 40 days straight to repent for something, immediately dies on day 41>12 years later Aegon IV is like yeah he’s mine probably when Daemon wins a tournament.Was Baelor the Blessed Daemon’s real father?
Remember when this series was about Starks, Lannisters and Baratheons?
>>24688813this series still is, the gurm has just stopped writing it and has been focusing on incest for several decades.
>>24688813Yeah… the Greyjoy, Martell, Brienne/riverlands, Cersi/Tyrell shit should have been a novella in the five year gap but that’s what happens when your editor leaves and you don’t replace them.
>>24688835More like retroactively adding context to a shitty ending he can’t figure out how to get to satisfactorily
Which Targaryen king was the most occult inclined? Who would have the most success performing a magic ritual?
>>24687937>He has a song," the man replied. "He is the prince that was promised, and his is the song of ice and fire." He looked up when he said it and his eyes met Dany's, and it seemed as if he saw her standing there beyond the door. "There must be one more," he said, though whether he was speaking to her or the woman in the bed she could not say. "The dragon has three heads."Targs are the Fire, he needed a Stark for the Ice.
>>24688079>So you think Maegor knew how to please his women?Do you think Maegor cared?
>>24681616There's gonna be le ebin reveal where it turns out Others are just climate refugees retreating from the melting polar ice cap
What do you guys think Gurm was setting up with Jon and Tyrion's friendship in AGOT? I'd like to hear your guys's theories cuz even though George is le gardener I still think he had vague ideas of where certain things were going and I think there's a reason Tyrion saw the wall himself and intersected with Jon's story himself.
>>24681616I always saw the Others as the polar opposite of the dragons. Meaning they represent a different element of the world. But now that I think about it it doesn't really make much sense. The dragons, as far as we know, are not beings with language or culture but rather just beasts. So I dunno where I'm going with this.
>>24687534>Mat is strongly enough the most military coded of any character in WoT>not in a fighting sense but in that his archetype is only really found in the militaryInteresting. Can you expand on this? I've never heard this take. One thing I did hear that made me really feel like I understood Mat was that he is essentially a character that says, does and thinks completely different things at the same time, which ironically makes him self-aware but also somewhat delusional. I never really felt a military angle from him
>>24687505Honest to God, I'd err on the side of 4chan. He starts reddit and then gets dangerously more based as the story goes on. In fact, a lot of redditors hate him by ADWD which should tell you everything.
>>24682319Jesus. Did he really say that on the show?
>>24689258
>>24689240Probably as the 'He might be telling the truth!' character. Tyrion remembers a young, naive Jon and when he meets him again he now talking of Wights and dead things.
>>24689345I always wondered what he means by neverborn. When searching about it, some people say that they would be inanimate objects given life or souls. When thinking of how warging works in ASOIAF, perhaps the neverborn are souls waiting to inhabit a vessel that are plucked out and put into corpses.
>>24688216I kneel before the image of [B]ae_lor the [B]lessed every morning.
>>24681616If we take into consideration Grrm's blatant inspiration from Memory, Sorrow & Thorn, the easy guess is that the Others are simply children of the forest that decided to live in the ice and put up a border between the two factions and they probably worked a magical treaty. For whatever reason, the Others are beginning to break that treaty by going south.
