My last blog post went up here on February 19,” Martin wrote. “The posts that came after were made by my mighty minions. I am lucky enough to have a great staff of assistants… though even with their help, I kept falling further and further behind.”>“So much has been happening, it’s been overwhelming. Some great things, exciting things. Dreams coming true. But there have been nightmares too,” he said. “I have lost friends. Battled sadness and depression. The worst may be yet to come. I turned seventy-seven last September, and I tell you, getting old is no fun.”>“I hope to attend… but that depends on… well, on a lot of things,” he concluded. “I am proud of our team, and hope we take home a few of the statues, but I will confess that I was hoping we’d get a few of the acting nominations as well. But there’s always next year.”Hopefully things get better for him so he can keep writing and we get more adaptations as a result.
It’s a dark world nowadays. GRRM knows that.

>>222307302>spend decades writing your nerd epic>two hollywood bro nepobabies turn it into a tv show and fuck up your ending so spectacularly that the entire world unites as one to hate it>don't feel like writing it anymoremakes sense to me
>>222307302Good. Serves him right for making every single millennial women believe they are an irl dragon queen girlboss. I hate my generation so much.
>>222307461The ending in the show was 100% the ending grrm planned to write.
>>222307493>fuck up your ending

>>222307532they didn't fuck it up, it was going to be shit regardless
>>222307302>write a shit ending>nobody liked it on the tv show>try to rewrite it but you can't write anything good because you're an edgy retard who killed all the interesting characters for cheap shock effect and the sake of being "le mature">"sorry guys, can't keep writing because I'm old and depressed"Fat people, not even once.
>>222307302Just disappearing in shame would’ve been so much better than the periodic attention whoring episode GRRM likes to throw
>>222307532They did what George told them to. The fat fuck fucked it up, not dabid
>>222307602>they didn't fuck it upDabid
>>222307602so true, that's why every adaptation is exactly as good as the thing it's adapting, great point
>>222307302YESYEEEEEEEEES
>>222307630>They did what George told them"Bran becomes King, Dany goes crazy"They sure executed that perfectly
>>222307302He peaked with Elden Ring
How fucking hard would it be for him to just give us the fucking cadences and get it over with? Fuck it, give us the wiki summary and we can just write the fucking books

who cares, the story is over
>>222307730Whoa that's mean, I'm double sad now, no way I can keep writing like this!
>>222307749Then why aren't the books finished? HA! Get out of that one, commie

>>222307757Hey you really are GRRM. Can I have your stuff when you ACK?

>>222307493ThisI thought this was common knowledge
>>222307493Maybe the main plot points but he wanted there to be more seasons
6 months and all he can say is he feels sad and also some shilling for the Emmy'sThe man is an utter cretin, I hope he and his wife get bowel cancer and die writhing in agony, and then his estate hires a hack to finish his work
>>222307992But we know that George "single R" Martin has no friends. He's lying for pity points and attention.
>>222307302I have to say, for a writer, this is not a well written blogpost.
>>222307302>>222307778He's 77, you get old, you get cancer and you die.What did he expect? Growing a bigger dick?

He became super famous in his early 60s and had decently attractive cosplay groupies putting his dick in their mouth for a few years. But the ride is over and has been over for several years now. GoT is forgotten by the general public. And now he's 15 years older, pushing 80. Of course he's depressed.
>>222308361It's like those kids who got named Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader: bullied every day and hating the source material.
>seventy seven years oldThis guy legitimately hasn't written anything new in a decade, he completely aged out of his creative years.
>>222308404He could always finish the books.... . . . . . but he won't.
>>222307302>Net worth 120 million according to Google. Is there anything more bullshit than rich people whining about how hard they have it?

He’s feeling the end coming. Old people be like that. You guys should be more understanding. It ain’t easy especially with the pressure to put out these books and to make fans happy at the same time.
>>222308002>Humphrey Carpenter was given access to the writings and quoted several passages in his work J.R.R. Tolkien: A Biography, noting that Tolkien used the diaries "chiefly as a record of sorrow and distress, and when ... his gloom dissipated he ceased to keep up the diary entries".After CS Lewis dies:>Life is grey and grim. I can get nothing done, between stateness and boredom (confined to quarters), and anxiety and distraction. What am I going to do? Be sucked down into residence in a hotel or old-people's home or club, without books or contacts or talk with men? God help me!Eat shit and die my fellow anon. Tolkien is still the man despite this btw
>>222308404>GoT is forgotten by the general public.I stopped at s05 but this is just as false as people saying 'No one cares about Marvel anymore'.
so uh anyone else believe the books are already written but will release when he passes away?
>>222308404>GoT is forgotten by the general public. And now he's 15 years older, pushing 80. Of course he's depressed.GoT has two of the most popular tv shows on right nowhe's sad cause his friends are getting old and sick and dying and from inside accounts his wife's health is starting to fail.
>>222307302>Spend all his time and money making his retarded playground>Get shit on by fans for it>Regret spending his time that way>Whine to a journalist for sympathy instead of correcting his behaviorOh boy he's a real fucken asshat ain't he
>>222307302But what is his tax policy?
>>222307410He's my favorite libtarded boomer. He's so pure and innocent. Isolated in his little imagination bubble. I love him so much.
>>222308971No way. At best he might had a solid and almost finished manuscript of The Farts of Winter that he ditched after the shitshow of the show's ending. He has been trying to rewrite it differently to no avail, as Anon usually points in these threads, he corned himself by killing most characters and now can't think a satisfying ending that makes sense.

>>222308995HotD and AKotSK are kind of their own things. Nobody thinks about GoT anymore, at least nothing after S4.
>>222307461Sounds like he either should've written faster or not sold out.

>>222308952If you had watched seasons 6-8 you wouldn’t be saying that
It’s hard being a Mad Dreamer in all honesty. I can’t really blame. Only like 1 to 10 percent of the population become Mad Dreamers who making so grand or do something so grand it changes the world itself while 90 percent become NEETs and Wagies who never even do 0.001 percent of what you do yet brag about run on sentences and knowing math while being 2 seconds from suicide or going insane. Picking the Mad Dreamer path is by far the hardest thing in this world
>just pick the hardest ending “The Mad Dreamer” in the worst world in existence. Work for your fans until die. Work for God until you die. Work for you enemies until you die. Work for your loved ones until you die. Do what the Wagie and NEET spend 10 years on 4chan refusing to do while knowing the truth and consequences George got old and ran out of ideas.
It it’s a little bit ironic though. The Wagie and NEET spend their entire lives afraid of what’s in front of them yet in the spiritual / mental and the religious they will runaway from just like George. Life is hard
>>222308682> It ain’t easy especially with the pressure to put out these books He was unironically saying to the public that Winds of Winter would be done in late 2015. I don't feel bad for that fat lying piece of shit at all.
I guess we all suffer the Curse of Adam. It’s easy to say humans can create great things because of limitless potential . It’s harder to do because of infinite complexity. Probably does suck getting old. Soon Gen Y and Gen Z are on the way. Time is getting faster and faster they say.
>>222310070I am simply observing reality, both spin off shows have got decent viewership and GoT fanspaces are still very active despite the objective lack of anything new to speculate on in over a decade. IRL anyone over 20 still brings up GoT both negatively and positively so it obviously still has cultural relevance. Something being bad doesn't mean people suddenly stop caring, not if it has momentum already and is still an active IP.With that being said, I don't plan on watching the later seasons, I've seen highlights and that's enough.
>>222308464money obviously doesn't make you immune to sadness, doesn't mean I feel bad for the fat man but I can understand where he's coming from. There are dozens of anons on this very board who miseryblog about their life daily and I feel pretty much the same way about GRRM as I do about them.
>>222307710the cope in this picture is hilarious because LotRfags constantly seethe a new fantasy story became a global phenomenon while most ASOIAFags don't even know who Tolkien is or have read his books
>>222308971nuh uh, I'd like to think so but at best there are a bunch of uncompleted chapters out there waiting for posthumous release.
Imagine being rich and being a fat fuck.Dietician, Private Chef, Personal trainer broso easy
AND YOU CAN HAVE IT ALLMY EMPIRE OF DIRT
>>222309304that pic is easy to poke fun at but I guarantee he gets tons of matches because that kind of shit works with normies
Didn’t he say we could jail him if he didn’t release it
>>222310354Not a chance man. Women on tinder don’t care about any of that shit
>>222309346>decided that I probably don't want to know it.I remember deciding this for good once I learned about "MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+". Not knowing is better.
>>222310354tons of matches from single mothers looking for a sucker
>>222309661Terrifying
>>222310426>>222310496ngmi, the specifics of the bio don't really matter, the fact that it's "loud" makes it stands out from the average profile people make. Simply not being boring and showing parts of your personality unabashedly is enough for women to be drawn to you. Once you're exchanging texts he can drop the whole "no casual sex" thing if he wanted to, girls feel safe and less like a whore when that's the pretext justifying the match in the first place
>>222310354Good bait
I still think season 8’s reception did a number on him. Like oh somebody else wrote it, now I’m just too lazy to do it myself.
he should end his book series with the night king raping Arya Stark to death

>>222307302He took the vax didn't he?
>>222307302all because this rotund clown went for 7 books instead of just making it a standard trilogy. I finished the first 3 and couldn't finish the garbage 4th due to "sand and sea sickness". GRRM is just a sad piece of shit to me now.
>>222307410Fuck sake, the entire crux of Game of Thrones is a horde of foreigners coming to wipe everybody out.
>>222307302Finish TWOW you fat fuck.
>>222307679Honestly, at this point he should've just used a ghostwriter. I mean he's still alive he could've even just went through and rewrote it if he wanted to change things. I know everyone says: "Oh, but he was busy having fun." by that's nonsense. He could've sat down and spent an hour or two in the morning writing at least a page or two and the thing would be done by this point
>>222307706No kids. Had a string of groupie sluts but didn't put a little fat turd into any of them.
>>222307410this dude makes me sick. oh yeah, harris would have changed the world for the better, eh? what a fucking moron. no wonder he can't finish his story.
>>222311181You've left out the main problem, he has had no idea what to do with the story since Book 3 and is too proud to admit it. The result has been ~25 years of him stalling and writing filler because he doesn't' know how to advance the plot.
>>222309039Tarly the cuck is the self insert isn't he?
>>222311313he has numerous self inserts>Wyman Manderly & Ilyrio - fat bastards>Sam - fat coward>Tyrion - le heckin smartest guy ever but with a physical disability (short instead of fat because it's more forgivable)
>>222307302HOW FUCKING HARD IS TO FINISH A BOOK?
predict how he's gonna write the ending
>>222311434he won't
>>222307302fat fuck
>>222311434He'll eat 40lbs of bacon and suffer a massive heart attack while farting uncontrollably and shitting diarrhea all over the manuscript
>>222310291>asoia>global phenomenon lmao they don't even know the show in Japan you faggot, tolkien is still what everybody thinks when they think about fantasy world. cope
>>222311592He had the GOT finally inside his ass?
>>222307302>and I tell you, getting old is no funIt wouldn't be as bad if you weren't a fat sack of shit.
>>222310291>most ASOIAFags don't even know who Tolkien is or have read his bookslol this is a flat out lie

>>222310706How do I make my profile (currently zero matches) "loud" when I am pro-racism, pro-fascism and anti-Crunchberries and am Unvaccinated as fuck?
>>222310008he released a book on schedule between season one and two which would have been enough for a few season of the show but benioff and weiss discarded most of itit was at that point that grrm probably gave up on ever staying ahead of the show
>>222311606>As of 2026, more than 100 million copies in 47 languages had been sold.
>>222309347well that's a fucking blast from the pasti feel sorry for teenage me trying to find normal porn and only being able to find german goo girls videos
>>222307710
>>222310354i guarantee he doesn't, purely based on the photo
He helped create my fantasy of Cersei molesting Sansa and using her as a teaching aid for Myrcella, so for that he'll always have my gratitude. But obviously he'll never finish those books, and HBO has stripped their prestige regardless.
>>222307302At the same time, Tolkien keeps publishing books even after his death. Talk about work ethic.
>>222307302I know this is super controversial, but something about him is exceptionally rude. Like, just admit you're going to die before you finish them. Let us get the schadenfreude of your inferiority at least. The show diverged wildly from canon so him relying on that doesn't make sense unless he's an absolute simpleton. Furthermore, if show ending was actually his outline, he's retarded because there should have been SOMETHING salvageable. Not pure suffering
this fat faggot has terminal trump derangement syndrome (I don't even like trump but my nigga you know what boomer democrats are like) and is probably grappling with the existential terror of possibly dying while trump is STILL president
>>222311434It’s never happening. You can’t even say GRRM would do it better because he clearly hasn’t gotten that far yet to figure out how it all works.
>>222309661>>Risk Aware Consensual KinkThis just makes me think of bugchasers>Yes I'm aware AIDS is risky but it's kinky so I want it anyway
>>222307493Only in broad strokes i think. Fatman told dumb and dumber the ending, but since they are dumb and also changed so much already they only took few key words they understood and "adjusted" them to the show like mad queen, KL burning, king Bran etc.But for example Bells are obviously meant for Connington
>>222307461Okay George. Keep pretending.
>>222307302>fat rich retard is depressed>will never finish uber popular shlock-shock fantasy series because he killed characters to sell books rather than serve the future story>were supposed to careASofIaF was always fucking garbage.Also give it up for the all time eternal winner of fantasy JRRT who cannot and will not ever be supplanted. Take the tax policy and shove it up your ass GRRM.
>>222307302>no kids>terrible forgettable tv showsTolkien won.
>>222311181You could feed grrm's books into an LLM and have it write the winds of winter based on most likely story beats or ones from the show. People have already done this.
>>222307619>killed all the interesting characters for cheap shock effectI hate how this became a fashion in the 2010s. Loads of shows tried to copy it and just wasted characters. Even video games like the telltale walking dead jumped on the "kill off characters for a quick shock" bandwagon.
>>222311953Online dating is only for mega Chads to cycle through all the sluts in town. If you're attractive, good bone structure, well groomed and not fat then just do a generic profile about liking the outdoors and going for drives to country towns or some shit. No pictures with fish, other chicks or all group shots. At least one shot outdoors like on a hike or something. Women want to imagine doing exciting or interesting things with you. Better plan is to actually head out and do interesting things and meet the women doing them already.
>>222308971It’s more likely he hasn’t written a single page outside of what was edited out of Dance.
>>222313531Wrote himself into a corner 20 years ago and can't get out. Every writing teacher will tell you to plan a full outline before writing any kind of longer novel. This sperg has tried to wing it from the start with some scribbled notes along the way. Works ok when you're a young, energetic guy doing your best work so you get pussy but after 60 this prick was cooked.
>>222308512Yeah, UGLY. You ever meet a beautiful and happy liberal? LMFAO
>>222309304joss whedon if he couldn't write
>>222313027I remember all the worst people had been saying Game of Thrones was better than Tolkien too. It was so gratifying to see how everything turned out
>>222309512This bitch in porn yet?
>>222313048Might turn out better actually
>>222308361I was in rehab with a dude who named his daughter Khaleesi. I knew that it was a thing, but that is the first time I personally know of one.
>>222307410It was madam president brat coconut's turn. White men need to know they can't handle spicy tacos.
>>222311181>>222311239He's finished the book several times but he keeps eating it
>>222308971I truly believe he completely destroyed whatever he had done once his ending was universally hated and basically and left it at that
>>222307302dun care. finish your books, u fatass lazy bum.
GRRM will never produce anything he is happy with. He is so stuck in the mud that they will find his bones there.
>>222309039>>222309220>thanks for reminding me why I hate women
You think you've become acclimated to how many raging blackpill incels are constantly posting the worst thoughts that run through their heads on /tv/ and then a new thread appears. I hope he feels better. Life is rough most days, fuck all you miserable heartless cunts.

>>222314271>Plenty of people are still rewatching the early seasonsName. One.
>>222307493No they cut out a shit load. The main complaints of the ending are that things that mattered to the story never paid off. Apart from arya killing the nk, which I doubt would be in the books.

>>222314137is that OC? fucking amazing
>>222314489>gas prices will go downWhat part of foreverwar do you struggle with?By the way it goes without saying that basing your entire ideological life on cutting off your substantial nose to spite a bunch of trannies who, I have to inform, in this exist exclusively in your head is utterly bereft.But good luck with the "we have to make your lives worse and hand over the country to jewish oligarchs or the woke trannies will win"-routine.
>>222313742So Joss Whedon then.
>>222314672>foreverwarCope. No war is as destructive as the shit you retarded fucks have done to our own country. You will never be a woman by the way
>>222310706You're wrong. You're basically reciting something you read online because it sounded profound to you but the reality is that your appearance is all that matters. Women justify everything else based on whether or not they find you attractive.
>>222307302toodles you fat pedo jew hack, wannabe Tolkien. better repent or something
>>222314738>Women justify everything else based on whether or not they find you attractive.Truth. A women will root for an athlete because he is handsome. A woman will vote for a potus because he has nice forearms. They are a weapon used against their own people.
>>222314240>possibly killing tens of thousandsretard
>>222307710The only thing going through Tolkien’s brain rn is worms
>>222312072False. They only fucked everything up once they ran out of source material and had to do their own thing. The failure is solely on Gurm for leaving them hanging.
>>222307410Winds will come out after Trump leaves office, screenshot this
>>222314812his brain is long gone, should've said skull
>>222314859So 2033?
>>222312072Nah he was slipping waaaaaaay before that. The truth is he got this manic burst of energy over the War of 5 Kings and decided to embrace it. The first 2 books dropped 2 years apart. Right after the Red Wedding he started slipping and that was like 1999. Then he took 5 years to drop Feast and he went all over the place. He found his true creative outlet in the human side of the conflict. The things he spent hyping like prophecies and a zombie apocalypse and a dragon war? He didnt actually wanna do that. He figured that out and then spent himself on the part he actually cared about.The idea hed ever do justice to The Long Night or anything like that and write an entire book where the characters spend months fighting zombies in the dark and dying? He was never going to do that. He doesn't even want to now. Instead he conjured an entirely new Aegon so he could write more human drama and spent a lot of time in Dance beating around with characters like Quentyn who then just die. Hes interested in that part and he has no interest in actually following up things like Victarion or Jon or Dany. Its why they keep wasting time. As far as hes concerned the books end with the Red Wedding.
>woe is me i'm a fat old man on the verge of death who regrets that i haven't written my last two promised books yet>so instead of writing those two books while i still have time i'm gonna do this silly blog whining about how shit i feel
>>222314450Why on God's earth would I ever give a single fuck about gas prices? I want the ponzi scheme to collapse.
>>222312072>he released a book on schedule between season one and two>on scheduleyou're slightly retarded if you actually think that
>>222312072>released a book on schedule between season one and twoAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
>>222314830>ran out of source material and had to do their own thingyou've obviously never read the books
>>222314916The core story is a simple Dune pastiche set in a fantasy world except the main elements are dispersed over more factions/characters.The main story could've wrapped up in a trilogy easily, but since the first few books were so popular he went for the money. It's what hack fantasy writers do since it's a steady flow of money.But because of that a lot of the initial setups, which had a clear arc and payoff, suddenly got stretched way too much and a lot of padding is introduced. A lot of sideplots and busywork and more forced intrigue and characters roaming around bumping into each other to go do some side shit, etc...It's not a matter of inspiration or energy, the main arc (including all main relevant characters) was planned out for a much shorter series.The longer it goes the more convoluted and messy it gets. Now there's hundreds of characters to juggle and deal with and each one needs some closure or point to their subplots etc...
>>222314830They could not have followed the books post Storm of Swords because it wouldve cost like a billion fucking dollars. Martin goes all over the place and introduces massive new casts. Season 4 would've barely had the main cast in it at all and Season 5 would've had to introduce a ton of new people in new places including a whole new fake Aegon Targaryen. Then the Kingsmoot and all of them, Quentyn and his supporting cast, etc. Maisie Williams wouldve been basically on standby for like 3 years. Davos's adventure north to the Manderlys, the Rickon subplot. It just goes on and on man. They HAD to butcher it. God only knows what Martin expressed to them for the future because the man cannot control himself.
>>222315052jesus
>>222315111>it's grrm's fault for not releasing more books!! the poor showrunners didn't have any material to work with!!!>it's grrm's fault for writing too much stuff!!! they couldn't possibly have adapted that much content!!!!hbo slurpers are not smart people
GoT is just a fantasy soap opera
At least when the show was running, especially the early seasons, he had the excuse that he was too busy. But after season 5, he just became lazy.
>>222314489Do tell. How is Trump helping this generation?
>>222307410he was right you know.
>>222315052this reminds me of me telling my parents of when I'm finally gonna get a job.meaning he's never finishing this shit.
>>222315052why is he such a pathological liar?
>>222307302There's something deeply, deeply pathetic about a little fat boy who spends his whole life writing about Knights and heroes and princesses and dragons.Especially when he criticizes Tolkien for being "unrealistic" when Tolkien actually fought in a war and Martin has never even been in a fistfight in his life. This fatso actually criticized Tolkien for never writing about Aragorn's "tax policy." And then if you actually read the Game of Thrones books, you'll notice right away, Martin never writes about anybody's tax policy. The one time he mentions economics at all is when he says, "Oh, there's this bank in Westeros, it's called the IRON BANK, and that's who loans all the money to all these rulers and nobles."Okay, fine, an "Iron Bank," sure! Sounds cool. But Martin never once goes into ANY detail about who owns this bank, where they get the money to loan, what their fiscal policies are, what deals they have with any of the noble houses, the only thing he ever actually says is that the Lannisters owe them a lot of money and it's all Littlefinger's fault. WOW, what fucking STUNNING financial and economic insight there, WOW, how gritty and hyperrealistic, WOW, a fucking bank! Tolkien could never come up with something like that.Tolkien never even wrote a paragraph about how his characters took a shit, what a hack!
>>222313397>If you're attractive, good bone structure, well groomed and not fatOK, bud.
>>222307493>build up Jon's lineage for the entire story>it's meaningless and he ends up going NorthHe's a hack.
>>222315388I loathe this cocksucker. He was showered in good fortune his whole life, he is obese fuck who somehow lived to 77 years, his unfinished popcorn books are praised as some sort of high art, and yet he whines like a white millenial woman.The damage he directly caused to fantasy industry is immeasurable, he is partially the reason why fantasy bookstores are full of Milking Farm books and I don't even think he will live to see perception finally turn on him.
George R. R. Martin awoke to the sound of the old Maester knocking at the door. A raven had arrived, he said, bearing dark news.Dark wings, dark words,George thought, clambering out of bed like a crab.He misliked all of this. Winter was coming, and good news were scarce, George knew."The fans, my lord," the Maester said. "They have come."George donned his battle raiment of boiled leather and clasped a pair of suspenders over his trousers. The fans had come for their book.My book,George corrected silently. It had been two-and-ten years and the Winds remained thoughts in George's head. He'd done much and more to spin those thoughts into ink, yet the papers remained white still, as white as Ser Arthur Dayne's cloak.
>>222315693A servant brought him black bacon and black bread, and George broke his fast in the dark halls of Martynfell, washing it all down with the finest of Californian red. He opened his laptop and visited his blog. The Winds would have to wait. There was a war to be fought, against the might of HBO and Ryan Condal. This was a mummer's farce and George had had enough of their japes. He'd thought of this half a hundred times or near as much as makes no matter. But now the King in Sante Fe stirred and Ryan Condal would dance no longer.A trumpet blew in the distance. George slid off the oaken chair and parted a curtain aside to look. He took Fatslayer from the wall and clapsed it over his belt. The fans had arrived, banners fluttering in the winds. Here and there were the sigils ofr/asoiafandr/fantasyandr/gameofthronesand many more besides. They wanted his book, but he had none to give. Had he been that writer they thought him to be, he would have given them all that and more.Gods, he'd been strong then! Where did that peerless writer go, George wondered. Did he die when he went to Comic Cons to feast on cakes and sweet pies? Or did he die when he went to Japan to be Miyazaki's Hand in the making of Elden Ring? Mayhaps DB Weiss knew, mayhaps they all knew and even Moon Boy too for all he cared. None of that mattered. That man was gone to dust and songs, and George was all that remained. He'd given his fans his word. But words are winds.
>>222315141calm down, george
GRRM's problem is, instead of writing a story he's writing a chronicle of an imaginary continent.
>>222314137>Armageddon RagHoly shit
>the last hope for ever seeing a finished Winds is a liberal CIA operative that read all of George's books and short stories, studied his entire life and even checked his entire blog to see George's writing progress over the decades only to arrive at the conclusion that George is a fat hack that made everything up as he went alongGrim.
>>222307410He was more right than we knew.
>>222307410Why is every single shitlib a fat ugly nerd like this?
>>222307302that's what happens when you take the ticket and have your 3rd rate books turn into even worse slop, manufactured consent is a such a curse on the soul and body, fat cunt will meet the devil and weep that won't be able to write about true evil he will experience.
>>222315206There's nothing wrong with that.
>>222310794This.
>>222316639>that made everything up as he went alongthat's what all talented creators doplanners aren't artists
>>222314450Oils going back down again and frankly it'll be staying real low in the near future one the Venezuelan shit is up and running
>>222307410>Fan: Which character would you bring to life for one day?>George: If it's me hanging with them, maybe Dany. She's really cute. That might be fun... Actually, I could just go straight to Shae. I don't know... Tyrion, if I wanted to go drinking. If I was riding through a dangerous area and wanted protection, the Hound or Jaime.>- George R.R. Martin, Slovenia (2011)>Fan: If you could have dinner with 3 of your characters from the series, which characters would you choose and why?>George: Certainly Tyrion, because he would be witty and charming. I think he'd be a really good choice to start with. Maybe Maester Aemon, because he's wise and knows all these things about history. The third one, I don't know. I could say Arya, but she might misbehave and hit me with some food. Maybe Dany, because, you know, she's really hot. Especially if she wore that Qartheen gown.>- George R.R. Martin, TIFF In Conversation With George R.R. Martin (2012)
>>222314393They were. Trump turned out to be a disaster in a completely different way than they thought.
>>222315333USAID done DEI done illegals out cope and seethe miguel
Humans can live to 120+. He could live 40 more years easily.
>>222309787uhhhhh you sound as if you are part of the actual worst demographic and are desperately coping, bud. most likely because white women won't fuck you.
>>222314450Answer the question, dude
>>222317492>which character would you bring to life?>maybe the hot 14yo in that sexy tits-out outfit I gave her, so that my 64yo 40BMI ass can molest her hehecrazy that feminists tolerate this fat pervert
>>222307410>No don’t decry perverted despotic pieces of shit that you have been lambasting in novels for decades to massive acclaim, amassing a hoard of wealth!!MAGAtards don’t even defend Trump, they just look at you like this.
You know the show's(and book's) ending is godawful when the fans begged for the Others to kill everyone. No one expected or asked a happy ending.
For me it's when he moved away from livejournal once he found out it's Russian site
>>222317631I hope this happens just so he can keep stringing his dumbass fanbase along and not write a single word except for blogposts saying that the book is coming out real Soon™
>He swears that his next two novels, The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring, will have a different ending that HBO's Game of Thrones. He just has the worst case of writers' block I've ever seen. Hear, hear.Food and Drinks is an apt category.
>>222315388What's hilarious is Tolkien FINISHED his series. Hell, he even tried to make a grimdark continuation of it but decided not to because it would be fun to write.
>marry an ultra liberal wife that doesn’t want kids and makes him focus on her favourite characters >end up depressed, childless and fatNo wonder he spent so much time with that German pornstar
>>222310291meanwhile your pathetic reality is based on a few internet posts
>>222307302>be atheist AND jewishA fate worse than death.
>>222316639>a liberal CIA operativeDoes that mean he's using Redteam as his MKUltra golem?
