I love three houses discourse because I'm pretty sure everyone just picks their route based on which house leader they're the most gay for and then tries to defend their pick by pointing out the other sides's war crimes via twitter memes. Reader, all four of them do substantial quantities of war crimes. So many. We're just here because the woman with Issues and a big fuck-off axe said so, and then we gotta justify everything she did in the name of dismantling the class system. I mean, I'm here for that, but you could also try justifying Charm Man uses poison and perfidy to try to stop racism, A Sad Little Meow Meow gives no quarter instead of doing therapy, or the Thicc Pope tries to bring back her mom via human experimentation, depending on your tastes

Tolkien fans do not get on my case but an AU where Bilbo decides to bring home this weird scaly rock from Smaug's hoard and many years later Frodo accidentally knocks it into the fireplace while packing for his adventure.

Suddenly there's a baby dragon in his house and it's not like he can leave it behind to burn down the Shire so a new party member is acquired.

Was working more on Siffrin Scales a Wall today and... the plot bunnies got me. So I probably will end up writing a one-shot about what, exactly, caused the Island to disappear.

Which will hopefully get rid of some of the writer's block I'm having with the next chapter of the fic.

Haven't properly gotten into Durge yet but bare with me:

from what we've seen, Durge's opinion of Orin wasn't too great; complaining that she is playing with her pray and the aftermath of them as with toys, taking her damn time and not really understanding the point of their Lord Bhaal - it is not the spectacle of mxrder but the act itself that is valued - destruction of all life - and in his name.

So imagine the rage, envy and animosity Orin had felt when her (in my case) 'big sister' - the favourite in the family who starts to get an even more important role in the grand scheme - starts to get entangled with Gortash and his manipulative ways of domination - and not destruction how Bhaal wills it.

As she herself says: '…the little lordling has been whispering in your ears? He always knew how to tumble and twist your mind matter, leave you knotted in his cords.'

Now, ignoring how absolutely deranged that line makes me (lmao) I can fully understand Orin, no matter how messed up she is: besides being the preferred spawn, Durge would also be getting away with meandering or straying from the course of their goal as well- no wonder she decides that she had enough of it and if she can't make herself the favourite, she can make herself the only…

How that pans out for her depends on the Durge, but can't say all too well hah.

You definitely don’t need to answer if you’d prefer not to, but I love your Asoiaf analysis and was eager to get your take on the Arya/Tyrion/Jon love triangle from the 1993 outline. I’m not sure if this something you’ve already touched on but I was curious what your thoughts on it are, especially at it relates to Tyrion. Often when I’ve seen this aspect of the outline mentioned, many are quick to dismiss/scoff at the very idea of it…which is truly such a shame because if nothing else, it’s certainly a springboard for many interesting discussions. Though I do think George has scrapped the triangle from the story, I’m curious what, if any, impact it’ll have on how he writes the initial meeting/subsequent “friendship” between Arya and Tyrion. Arya has been established as a character who makes friends easily and is not at all judgmental of others based on appearances and I imagine that would be very appealing to Tyrion. Given his recent cynicism, I don’t think they would “hit it off” right away but I can definitely see them developing an admiration for one another. I recently reread the Mercy chapter and was struck by Arya’s mention of how apt she found one of “Tyrion’s” lines from The Bloody Hand.

I'm a "the original outline still has relevance" truther until I'm proven wrong, so I do still think Tyrion and Arya's relationship will have some significance. If nothing else them being two of George's favorite characters is enough for me to believe we'll get some interesting on-page interactions between them. How relevant will their relationship be? That I don't know but I can definitely see them getting along. They'd play off each other very well and I'm personally really looking forward to them meeting. Arya's interaction with Bobono and, like you said, her memorizing "Tyrion's" lines could be a hint toward the dynamic they'll have in the future. Her Mercy chapter also hints at a relationship between her and Daenerys, so we might see that trio interacting sooner than expected. With the love triangle angle being scrapped, it is possible he has some other subplot planned for them. We don't really know enough to speculate so we'll just have to wait and see though.
