#same thing with ppl recording people having an episode that they cannot control

[tariah23]

Outside of light bright’s always being weirdly colorist (natural mixed female….. you’re saying that about yourself? If so, let me guess, the mother is of the completion of a napkin. It all makes so much sense.) can people please learn to not record complete strangers in public, please.

[kellyvela]

Has GRRM ever said in any interview or on his blog that he hates Sansa's complete storyline after 4th season? I dont really follow all of his fan/media interactions but from what I can recall he has spoken abt how LF in books wont give sansa to ramsay or how noone had issue when Jeyne was given the Ramsay storyline in books etc. Asking this question to you bcs you rightly point out how ppl misunderstood his interviews/posts ( sansans/targ stans etc) & I cant recall him ever saying he 'hates' sansa's story in the later seasons of the show ( not s5 in particular but even s6 to s8).

Capclave 2013:

A change that has repercussions for season 4 is Marillion’s tongue removal from the first season. Martin said that the change was made (from an anonymous singer being the victim of a de-tonguing) because they wanted Joffrey to maim someone the audience would recognize. He believes this is an issue because of the part the singer plays in Sansa’s storyline, how he affects her interactions with others in the book, and he doesn’t believe another character will be fulfilling that role on Game of Thrones.

2014 Fan Reports about Capclave 2013 (*):

In a convention panel this year, George said on the record that he had no idea what they were doing with Sansa or where they’re taking her storyline, which now makes sense perhaps. He was not pleased when he was talking about it, so who knows what’s going to happen with her! Knowing GRRM, that could mean they’re going off the canon reservation, and/or that they’re going to be making a lot of shit up

I have notes I’ll be responding to (thanks!) but enough people commented about Sansa that I thought I’d share that tidbit, since it happened back in September iirc (was the same panel where he criticized the exclusion of Tyrell brothers)

—starkalypse - June 3, 2014

GRRM’s comments at capclave about Sansa (which I was in the third row for, for those asking about legitimacy) were among others during the panel that had a general theme of dissatisfaction with show changes. He was not in good spirits for that con and didn’t really have anything positive to say regarding the show. So take it with a grain of salt; there are deviations away from the books in the episodes he gets writers credit for, so maybe they’re doing something stupid or they really don’t have a gameplan!

—starkalypse - June 4, 2014

(*) These reports were posted in June 2014, during the airing of Game of Thrones Season 4, about Capclave 2013 that happened in October 2013.

Just after the rape episode:

How many children did Scarlett O’Hara have? Three, in the novel. One, in the movie. None, in real life: she was a fictional character, she never existed. The show is the show, the books are the books; two different tellings of the same story.

There have been differences between the novels and the television show since the first episode of season one. And for just as long, I have been talking about the butterfly effect. Small changes lead to larger changes lead to huge changes. HBO is more than forty hours into the impossible and demanding task of adapting my lengthy (extremely) and complex (exceedingly) novels, with their layers of plots and subplots, their twists and contradictions and unreliable narrators, viewpoint shifts and ambiguities, and a cast of characters in the hundreds.

There has seldom been any TV series as faithful to its source material, by and large (if you doubt that, talk to the Harry Dresden fans, or readers of the Sookie Stackhouse novels, or the fans of the original WALKING DEAD comic books)… but the longer the show goes on, the bigger the butterflies become. And now we have reached the point where the beat of butterfly wings is stirring up storms, like the one presently engulfing my email.

Prose and television have different strengths, different weaknesses, different requirements.

David and Dan and Bryan and HBO are trying to make the best television series that they can.

And over here I am trying to write the best novels that I can.

And yes, more and more, they differ. Two roads diverging in the dark of the woods, I suppose… but all of us are still intending that at the end we will arrive at the same place.

In the meantime, we hope that the readers and viewers both enjoy the journey. Or journeys, as the case may be. Sometimes butterflies grow into dragons.

—The Show, the Books - Not A Blog - May 18, 2015

Report about the last Game of Thrones Script that GRRM wrote:

No Wedding for Sansa and Ramsay: Without question, one of the most controversial changes the show made in trying to streamline the books was by slotting Sansa into the role of Ramsay’s wife and rape victim in Season 5. In the books, Ramsay marries and assaults Sansa’s best childhood friend, Jeyne Poole—who is being forced to impersonate Arya—instead. (You can actually see Jeyne briefly sitting next to Sansa in the show’s pilot.)

At the time Martin wrote this script, though, substituting Sansa for Jeyne was not yet the plan. Martin has Roose Bolton tell his bastard son: “We have a much better match in mind for you. A match to help House Bolton hold the north. Arya Stark.” It should be noted, however, that in Martin’s script, Sansa isn’t free from menace either. At his own wedding-day breakfast, Joffrey still threatens to rape the older Stark sister—once he’s “gotten Margaery with child.”)

—Game of Thrones: The Secrets of George R.R. Martin’s Final Script - Vanity Fair - December 7, 2018

A month before the Game of Throne S8 Finale:

Sansa’s story, in particular, has really deviated from the books. Ramsay Bolton — that marriage obviously was with a different character. When they start deviating like that, did you initially have any emotional reaction, even though you worked in Hollywood for many years yourself?

GRRM: Well, yeah — of course you have an emotional reaction. I mean, would I prefer they do it exactly the way I did it? Sure. But I’ve been on the other side of it, too. I’ve adapted work by other people, and I didn’t do it exactly the way they did it, so ….

Some of the deviation, of course, is because I’ve been so slow with these books. I really should’ve finished this thing four years ago — and if I had, maybe it would be telling a different story here. It’s two variations of the same story, or a similar story, and you get that whenever anything is adapted. The analogy I’ve often used is, to ask how many children did Scarlett O’Hara have? Do you know the answer to that?

I know it’s different in the book and the movie …

GRRM: Three children in the book, one by each husband. She had one child in the movie. And in real life, of course, Scarlett O’Hara had no children, because she never existed. Margaret Mitchell made her up. The book is there. You can pick it up and read Mitchell’s version of it, or you can see the movie and see David Selznick’s version of it. I think they’re both true to the spirit of the work, and hopefully that’s also true of Game of Thrones on one hand, and A Song of Ice and Fire on the other hand.

—George R.R. Martin on the Stark Sisters and Ending ‘Game of Thrones’ - RollingStone - April 22, 2019

James Hibberd’s Book:

GEORGE R. R. MARTIN: Jeyne Poole was included in the pilot—she’s shown giggling next to Sansa—but she’s never seen or referred to again. I actually wrote Jeyne into “The Pointy End,” my first script, when Arya killed the stableboy. I had some stuff with Jeyne running to Sansa being all hysterical and dialogue in the council chamber with Littlefinger saying, “Give her to me, I’ll make sure she doesn’t cause any trouble.” That was dropped.

DAVID BENIOFF: Sansa is a character we care about almost more than any other. We really wanted Sansa to play a major part in that season. If we were going to stay absolutely faithful to the book, it was going to be very hard to do that. There was a subplot we loved from the books, but it was a character not involved in the show.

GEORGE R. R. MARTIN: I was trying to set up Jeyne for her future role as the false Arya. The real Arya has escaped and is presumed dead. But this girl has been in Littlefinger’s control for years, and he’s been training her. She knows Winterfell, has the proper northern accent, and can pose as Arya. Who the hell knows what a little girl you met two years ago looks like? When you’re a lord visiting Winterfell, are you going to pay attention to the little kids running around? So she can pull off the impersonation. Not having Jeyne, they used Sansa for that. Is that better or worse? You can make your decision there. Oddly, I never got pushback for that in the book because nobody cared about Jeyne Poole that much. They care about Sansa.

—Fire Cannot Kill a Dragon: Game of Thrones and the Official Untold Story of the Epic Series by James Hibberd - October 6, 2020

GEORGE R. R. MARTIN: My Littlefinger would have never turned Sansa over to Ramsay. Never. He’s obsessed with her. Half the time he thinks she’s the daughter he never had—that he wishes he had, if he’d married Catelyn. And half the time he thinks she is Catelyn, and he wants her for himself. He’s not going to give her to somebody who would do bad things to her. That’s going to be very different in the books.

omki going all mother hen on shivaay is a good way to start off.

wow even tej gets a hug, but not pinky.

further proof he’s faking:  if he’s lost his memory, surely he’d have forgotten pinky’s betrayal as well and hugged her. 

aaaaaaaaand acting shuru. 

KAUN ANIKA!??!?!? BC TERI TOH MAIN....

i don’t like this fake jankee’s voice. 

tanyaaaaaaa. meriiiii wife. 

howwwwww many fucking wives??? pehle tia ko announce kiya. phir anika ko, god knows how many times. ragini as fiance. abhi tanya. abbe oh tera naam shivaay hai, kishan kanhaiyya nahi. 

even abhay is like THE FUCKKKKKKK. welcome to oberoi mansion, son!

aaaaaaaaand media is totally ok with him having a WHOLE NEW WIFE 15 DAYS AFTER MARRYING ANIKA. apparently none of them have an issue with the fact that polygamy is illegal under the hindu marriage act of 1955. 

god knows after how long shivaay’s giving a proper statement to the press. 

anika’s like BITCH I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS BS AFTER ALLLLLLLL THE SHIT THAT I WENT THROUGH...... 

SAME, OMKI. #SAME.

when TEJ of all people is side-eyeing you in women-related matters, you know you’ve reached a whole new level of fuckery. 

shouldn’t pinky be capitalizing on this opportunity? like, this is best case scenario for her, that shivaay’s regressed one year into the past where everything was beautiful and nothing hurt....? 

anika’s like I KNOW THIS BITCH AND HIS WAY OF WORKING PERFECTLY WELL AND HE IS FAKING. 

LMAO WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU PPL EVEN TALKING ABOUT WHEN YOU SAY SHIVAAY ISN’T THE TYPE TO GET BLACKMAILED?!?! HE’S DEFINITELY THE TYPE TO GET BLACKMAILED AND HAS BEEN, SINCE EPISODE 1. 

jhanvi brings up Mahi Ve theory but anika shuts that shit down asap. *siiiiiiiiiiiiiigh* where are you mahiiiiiiii? i misss youuuuuuuuuuu

girl why are you questioning him in front of alt!Kee??

“TANYA NEEDS TO REST!” 

lmao bitch you know who needs to rest???? my girl anika here. she hasn’t had one moment of peace since the day she met your godforsaken ass. 

lol he’s soooooo faking - look at him not meeting her eyes as she’s spouting word after word from her exclusive dictionary. 

lmaoooo anika trying to bond with the sautan.  

hee hee tanya’s face. 

lmao the way she poked tanya in the nose! 

“inki buraai hum baad mein karenge. akele mein. mahila mandal ban jaayenge hum.”

um, yes?!!?!?? THIS IS LITERALLY ALL I WANT FROM THIS SHOW? ALL OF SHIVAAY’S GIRLS GETTING TOGETHER AND BITCHING ABOUT HIM

headcanon: anika has definitely been hitting the liquor cabinet every now and then to deal with being married into this house. i know i would. never has jhanvi been more relatable. 

looking away. because he can’t stand to keep lying to her face and see her get upset. 

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh boy she’s gonna...

yup. 

‘i haven’t thought this whole thing through. these two are hella weird.’

anika’s like yes please to the doctor. good. iski saari ki saaari bemaariyaan ek hi jhatke mein diagnose kardo. 

wow rare glimpse into oberoi offices! 

WHUT. ABHAY TAKING CARE OF IT???? MAAAAN NA MAAAN??? 

and everyone’s like OKAY! SOUNDS GOOD TO ME!

um... this isn’t how a business works? you don’t just stroll into an office and take control. 

this cute fuckerrrrr is shady as hell. esp with the whole “family comes first” shit. have the oberois wronged his fam in some way? is he here to take everything from them????

how has the fucking doctor diagnosed shivaay with selective amnesia WITHOUT EVEN MEETING HIM???????? LIKE??????? 

my brotp!!!!!!!

oh anika, come onnnnnnnnnnnn. stop crying. you know he’s fakingggg. 

“main unko unse bhi zyaada achche se jaanti hoon.”

you go girl. 

yupppppp, go with your gutttt, babe. 

.... “aisi kya majboori hai, that kal tak jo banda was ALL UP ON ME AT ALL HOURS... DOESN’T WANT TO SEX ME ANYMORE?!?!??!”

aahaaaaaa! 

“mujhe kisi bhi tarah anika ko yakeen dilaana hai ki yeh naatak nahi hai. ki main sach mein usse bhool gaya hoon.”

BITCH ANIKA IS ME AND I AM HER AND WE KNOW YOU BETTER THAN YOU KNOW YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

dude this chick’s dialogue delivery is so bad. it’s not her husky voice. it’s not. it’s just that her delivery has no emotion whatsoever. she sounds dead on the inside.

like, i relate to that and all, but i still sound more animated than this. 

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh. she’s acting under instructions from someone. 

and that someone is ABHAY. calling it now itself. he’s here to take over all of the oberois business and property and whatnot. 

lmao, really? the entrance from his room now leads to this weird corridor and not directly into the hall??? 

picture from the first zabardasti waali shaadi? instead of the one that just happened? why? 

but memory from new shaadi. 

haaaaye his devastated face. plus the o jaana piano theme. i crie. 

AWARENESS. OK WEEPING NOW. 

oh come onnnnnnnnn anikaaaaaaaa. you know he’s being pressured into acting, and instead of finding out the cause, you’re wasting time on trying to get him to admit. hadh hai chutiyaape ki. 

trying not to give up the act. but it’s super hard. 

waise toh yeh bada sakht launda hai.... lekin yahan pe pighal gaya.

niche joke for zakir khan fans. 

god my hearttttttttttt, i am actualllllllly cryinggggg at him trying to keep up the act and struggling to, coz she’s just so upset and he can’t stand it. 

you can runnn, you can hide, but you can’t escape my loooooooooove. 

this girl, man. she has my heart and soul and i would do anything for herrrrrrrrr. literally anything. 

“mujhe pata hai maine kaha tha ki mujhe aap tadibaaz bagad bille pasand hai lekin iska yeh matlab nahi ki aap hameshe sadte rahe....”

unsaid: ‘i meant IN BED, you stupid man.’ 

“mera dil dukhta hai, shivaay.” 

aaaaaaaand i’m crying again. and so is he. (on the inside.)

yuppppppppppppp. i knewww it, pinky would capitalize on this. 

abhay ko kisi babyyyyy ka phone aa raha haiiiii. BITCH I ALREADY PAIRED YOU WITH SUMO IN MY HEAD, HOW DARE YOU TAKE UP WITH SOME OTHER BABY???????????

oh heyyyyyy bhavya! sup? you married or nah? i don’t see no sindoor or mangalsutra or anything. 

sultan calling??? or just rudra being a creepy little stalker??? 

ok manav’s ~~~~ACTING is suddenly... weird? 

chubbby’s here to visit bhavya?

ugh no he’s here to be a little creep and spy on her. 

BRO COULD YOU STOP PHOTOGRAPHING/RECORDING PPL DOING SHIT IN THE PRIVACY OF THEIR OWN HOMES?!?!?!?! ASSHOLE.

LOVING THE NEW HAIRCUT THO. 

ohhhhhhhhhhh lorddddddd she was faking the whole thing too?? manav has a whole other fiance.

OUFF YAAAAR BHAVYA YOU SHOULDA LOCKED HIM DOWN WHEN YOU HAD THE CHANCE. ITNA ACHCHA LADKA HAATH SE NIKAL GAYA.

ok, abhay doing awaiiii ki tadibaazi. 

god he’s hellllllla cute. but banda bohutttt hi shady hai. iska agenda kya hai??? 

lollllll abhay praising gunda’s tevarrrrr. i love ittttt. 

ok abhay’s already a better businessman than shivaay/tej and i am all for him taking over. he deserves it. 

ok whyyyyy does everyone in this show think that TEARING UP PAPERS means that everything is nullified??? THESE ARE LEGAL PAPERS THAT ARE REGISTERED. YOU CAN MAKE NEW COPIES. LORD. 

masha’Allah, what a face. *kisses the screen*

.... since when does rudra keep up with the business? and that too with ABHAY, whom he didn’t even like??????? 

LMAO WHAT THE FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKK 

ok are we sure that the oberois aren’t a crime family? coz they seem to have pretty easy access to explosives that they seem to deploy when they need.

also idk what universe they think they’re in where the market rate for a property like this is for 50 lakh in mumbai. a decent apartment in the city costs like 1 crore, let alone a bangla and such laaaavish grounds. 

waaah what tadi. someone’s been watching shivaay singh oberoi videos to absorb his personality via screen. 

but he has a muchhhh better personality than shivaay though. 

oh great, this chashmish asshole is back to harass omkara. 

actually tbh i don’t care. omkara deserves to be harassed. 

“ab toh mil gaye na, ab banaiye paintings!”

 LMAO WHUT THAT’S NOT HOW IT WORKS! 

OMKARA CAN’T HELP BUT LAUGH AS WELL “MAIN KYA PRINTING PRESS CHALA RAHA HOON?”

god this is such a stupidddddddd issue. 

ooop. abhay has overheard. he will fuck up chashmish, methinks. 

ok abhay is going superrrrr overboard with this BHAI thing. he’s a secret oberoi, isn’t he???? 

OMG WHAT IF HE’S ROOP’S SON?!?!?!??!

pinky, you know shaktiji is team anika, why would you gloat like this in front of him???? 

oooh yaaas, tej and jhanviiiii are here on team shivika as wellllll. 

ok i have to be on team pinky for this one thing: tejVi, how about you give one single fuck about your own kids????? seriously, what the fuck even is going on with them????? 

lord this whole 4 way argument from the first two three episodes of the show, fucking whyyyyy

shaktiji, you need to go on a longggggg yoga retreat or something i think. just, get away from all this stress and negativity. in logon ka toh aapas mein chalta hi rahega. khud sulta lenge. aap apna dekhein. 

mata rani aint gonna listen to you, pinky. she’s team #shivika too. 

OOOOOOOOOOOOOH MILLS???? PAYBACK FOR OLD CRIMES???? WHAT’S HAPPENING HEREEEEEEEEE

okayyyyyyyyy abhay is a stone cold liarrrrrrrrrr. matlab srsly, is bande ka agenda kya hai. 

also, tej is such a fucking idiot for falling for that. did that LOOK like an antagonistic conversation??? come on. it was all smiles and sexy looks.
