Petty thoughts on GoT fandom wank, courtesy of moi

While I don’t think what was said at the BFI panel was anything close to what was reported on Reddit/Twitter, to say that I am seriously disappointed in Kristofer Hivju’s supposed remarks is an understatement. If he’s talking about a “romantic comedy sequel at Castle Black” (via tweets from a media source that was actually there) then he’s either discounting Tormund’s entire ending or he’s completely erasing Jon’s presence from it. I don’t expect him to acknowledge the Jonmund thing or anything like that, but the only reason that the show placed an emphasis on Tormund’s ending was because of Jon (heck, Briemund itself is a ship comprised of what, three scenes?) And if that thread is correct and he actually thought Jon was going to let Ghost just go off with him and go back to Castle Black by himself? LOL. I’m just really unhappy with the whole thing. I don’t think whatever he said contradicts what was actually written and filmed, but after reading about Kit so eloquently describing what was good about it this just rubs me the entirely the wrong way. The only solace I got from the show in the end was that Jon got to walk away and have a future somewhere else, and I don’t like that being ignored or derided in this manner.

The other thing I’m petty about is that a fic I was reading went sideways in a really nasty way and I’m still managing my reaction to it. I read across several ships in this fandom but I feel like I’ve been burned badly and I don’t really want to touch fanfiction right now.  

We shall now conclude the pettiness.
