And remember kids, the next time someone tells you, "George R. R. Martin wouldn't make Jon Snow the typical fantasy hero because that's cliche".....
Oh yes he would!
One viewer wants to know what character would you play (on the show)? GRRM: If I could magically clap my hands and become a different person, it would be cool to play Jon Snow who's much more of the classic hero. Everybody wants to be the classic hero! ABC Interview, 2014
GRRM: And the character I’d want to be? Well who wouldn’t want to be Jon Snow — the brooding, Byronic, romantic hero whom all the girls love. Meduza Interview, 2017
In fact he already has ☺️
#asoiaf#jon snow#yes grrm has criticized neo-tolkein fantasy - a lot!#but like....dpmo#I need so many people in this godforsaken fandom to familiarize themselves with grrm's engagement with the genre#he isn't trying to say “chosen one boy protagonist bad” where tf did people get that???#he's directly trying to challenge the more unsatisfactory elements of lesser copies of tolkien's legendarium#the ones that lift lotr wholesale without actually understanding what makes tolkien's writing snap#at the same time he has admitted himself that he has borrowed from lotr albeit with his own twists#but people in this fandom need to know that ye old man LOVES sword-and-sorcery fantasy#he LOVES a good epic#he LOVES pulp fantasy and sci fi#and those inspirations are directly reflected in asoiaf#the way he's named arthuriana/lotr/MST and many pulp stories with brooding dark heroes as key inspirations#almost all of which have mcs who fall into the typical fantasy hero role#and they inspire elements that are reflected back onto jon more than anyone else in asoiaf#like seoman snowlock = jon (+bran)#frodo - who btw is the mc in lotr not aragorn!! = jon (and bran)#FUCKING KING ARTHUR IS JON SO MUCH SO THAT RLJ IS LITERALLY A 1:1 COPY OF ARTHUR'S BIRTH STORY LIKE??!!!!#anyone who's even a little bit familiar with le morte d'arthur will be like oh yeah jon is literally king arthur like 😭😭#same with anyone who's ready the once and future king - which grrm has directly identified as his fav take on arthurian lit#ntm that jon is based on some of the most prolific characters in arthuriana - percival/galahad/lancelot etc#did you know that there's an iconic sci-fi series whose main character is called Eric JOHN STARK?#well grrm has directly quoted that series and the mc as a foundational book in his life#funny that huh? 🙂#do people even know what tf they're talking about when they say stuff like this???? ajdhhjshsbvshja#grrm engages very heavily with traditional fantasy tropes but he of course provides his own spin on them#never has he said that he's trying to avoid stories with hidden princes or chosen ones as boy protagonists#like someone find me a direct quote of him saying that - but I bet you can't smh

2021 re2 and re4 doodles i unearthed, 2020-2021 were the years of art block for me - i drew a lot, but not too many of my drawings felt quite right. anyways... sherry finally got that puppy (big puppy...) and parrot she always wanted! im a big fan of taking a single obscure piece of dialogue/game mechanic/inventory item etc and then drawing it

A frosty start to December! Flynn's really been enjoying wearing his little coat these past couple of days. He's a happy old man... much more enthusiastic about being outside now he's warm!
Yummy frost!!

But also with me looking at all these Pokémon Let’s Go designs, can I just say the game’s designs are absolute bangers? They all look so good, and I feel like they just enhance the original designs
This applies to all the designs by the way, I just happen to have all the Gym Leader designs to demonstrate my point
I know people don’t gel well with Let’s Go because of the different gameplay style, as well as being another Kanto remake, but the designs are so good
I really want a Johto remake now with this art style, I’d love to see the characters get these kinds of redesigns
Not to mention Johto’s at this point the region with the oldest art/designs (I mean that technically applies to Sinnoh as well, since the remakes didn’t update the designs or give the characters new designs, but regardless), I’d say they should get an update too

The Nesting (Massacre Mansion, 1981)
"It may come as a surprise to you that a physicist could even contemplate the existence of paranormal phenomena."
"But you admit to the possibility."
"I admit the possibility of the unknown. I admit that science is only beginning to understand its own discoveries. But I do not believe in evil spirits or painted phantoms in windows."

who are they tell me everything
Okay so uh, warnings in order of appearance for mentions of suicide, kidnapping, and murder. I’ll try to keep the descriptions simple to avoid too many spoilers & getting too gritty & stuff, and obligatory “these characters are problematic and while I love them because they’re my babies, being a sexist jerk & kidnapping & murder is bad” disclaimer in case this breaches containment. Anyway, the repressed characters in question…
I mentioned a sleazy businessman in a previous post. That’s Richard! He has this stupid idea that being a callous misogynist asshole is the best way to get respect as a guy and it’s just…not. He knows that deep down but he got in too deep and doesn’t know how to stop. He used to be an investor but when his stocks plummeted in value and he owed some really shady people a lot of money, he opted to take his own life rather than get taken out by a hitman. He got the chance to come back to his body a few decades later and took it. He’ll tell you he came back because he can’t get laid or drunk without a body. While kinda true, that’s not the only reason he came back. He wants to be a good person again and maybe make up for the mistakes he made, but he’s terrified of giving up the façade of a confident jerk. It’s like his social armor. So he just keeps procrastinating on his own development.
Viv (short for Vivienne) is a grouchy shut-in who doesn’t know how to connect with people in a fulfilling way (for reference one of her favorite pastimes is starting fights on the internet), and eventually falls madly in love with and kidnaps a guy at the bar she used to frequent. He’s kept in her basement. She feels better having someone around even if he hates her guts, but she knows it’s not really meaningful, and she also knows she majorly messed up and can’t undo what she did without facing the consequences. She also has a lot of stuff to unpack regarding not knowing how to make and keep friends, since she usually just blames everyone else for everything that goes wrong.
Maxwell murders people out of a sense of necessity, like it’s an itch he has to scratch, and while he enjoys himself in the moment, he’s otherwise extremely nervous about it. Why does he feel this way? Can he make himself stop? Would he even want to if he could? How long until he gets caught? Like Viv he’s very conflicted about the crimes he continues to commit and is scared of the consequences, and like Richard he hides behind a façade, though Maxwell’s is deadpan and aloof rather than charming and crude, acting like he doesn’t care.
None of them are meant to be all that deep thematically, I suppose they could be read as exaggerations of people that get addicted to being assholes & maybe eventually realize how exhausting it is, but really they’re just some of my nasty little guys that I gave existential crises to
