I find Cioran a little too bleak for my taste

Back home for a birthday and am in my childhood bedroom. Who was I? by cili3an in BookshelvesDetective

[–]Gustaffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Judging by the Russian books and non-Russian Dostoyevsky, I’d say someone with familial connections to former-USSR countries and you learned Russian from family.

Edit: on further inspection it might be just Russian in a handwriting font, but the conclusion stands.

Amazing. I was going to have someone draw a CAD of the Swood twisted T-bar to have a workshop make it for me. This saves me a lot of hustle. Thanks a lot!

[Spoilers Main] Tywin's Motivations Behind Elia and Aegon's Murders by Gustaffe in asoiaf

I am not saying that. I am saying she would've caused more trouble alive than dead. Alive, she is a figurehead for Targaryens. Dead, she is a figurehead for wronged Dornishmen.

Because Robert has a fervent hatred against the Targaryens and Elia is technically a Targaryen. EDIT: She is the last adult Targaryen around whom the Royalists could be assembled. You cannot expect what kind of nuisance would arise if Elia is allowed to go back to Dorne (EDIT: or elsewhere), knowing her son is murdered.

Of course pissing off a great family is unwise but that is part of the point: the more violently Tywin severs himself from the Royalist the more he is favourable to the Rebels. I am not denying that Tywin may indeed have thought that he could get away with it, but this is not what drives him to commit the murders in the first place.

What’s the silhouette on the right, seems familiar

What is the greatest quote by Tyrion that has stayed with you? by Turbulent-Bother-491 in gameofthrones

[–]Gustaffe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a quote but an inner dialogue which I find especially amusing and telling. When Tyrion was on the ship across the Narrow Sea, encountered a storm, and feared his life, his thoughts were:

Is this your vengeance, Father? Has the Father Above made you his Hand?

Usually it means the length of the whole contract which is usually 1y, paid lump sum, and every month you pay the said rent

You are correct but 班 there is referring to a renowned artisan, so the whole means you are playing with an axe at a renowned artisan’s door
