moreso, this just reflects the hyper-consumptive trend-cycling behavior that’s become so commonplace in our media culture. it’s no longer about the content of the work itself, but what the bigger and greater next thing will be. it’s why we have a sequel/remake plague in film and tv. it’s why people enjoy older media (like asoiaf!) that is free from this current system of consumption.

and another thing specifically regarding artists and ownership of their own work. to say that because “george is older and will not finish his books” means that his rights to his own work should be given to the next guy is absolutely insane and just another example of how conservatism is seeping into every aspect of our lives. you are not entitled to any one’s art or voice

grrm get behind me. post- the worldcon situation, we should all be having the conversation about the entitlement fandom spaces feel toward creators and their work. wdym you think sanderson should finish george’s books who even are you

someone told me that tywin should’ve kidnapped-raised joffrey from birth and everything would be fixed and i didn’t even know how to begin to explain how much worse that would be so i kinda just smiled like this in silence

[aeriondripflame]

can you believe that grrm had to go out of his way to clarify that daeron the young dragon wasn't gay in an interview (check daeron's wiki page)

asoiaf alexander the great deserved to have a hephaestion! or sexually terrorize baelor, whatever grrm thinks will serve the themes better or is more romantic in his eyes

i believe in daeron/baelor rights. alas, i do think it is baelor who is doing the terrorizing. mr. “locks sisters in maidenvault as to not be tempted” is making it weird.

listen. now i know we all have our big asks for the rest of asoiaf, but i need grrm to know that i want the jon connington meets jon snow chapter. i need him to think that maybe rhaegar actually did love him if he named his son after him (rhaegar did not name jon).

hotd inventing that daemon foresaw the long night actually makes his murder-suicide so much more ridiculous. yikes. worlds about to end, guess i’ll go out with steez
