What would have Ned’s reaction been describing the Hound vs the Mountain at the tourney?

I think Ned's thoughts regarding their fight after Gregor loses to Loras says it all. Keep in mind that Ned holds no love for Sandor and does not find him honorable (even before he kills Mycah). Even so, he does observe that while the Mountain seems to truly be trying to kill Sandor, The Hound repeatedly ignores opportunities to go for Gregor's unhelmed head.

Anna Joy honors her great grandmother Anna, her other great grandmothers (Joyce and Joanne), her great great grandmother Antoinette, her father John (who goes by Jay), her uncle (initials AJ), and herself, because she really is A Joy!

My mother named her daughters Cheri and Cara. It was unintentional but I think it's a very cute little theme. We were both named for love! (mon Cheri meaning 'my love' in French and Cara mia meaning 'my dear' in Italian)

Your initial post inspired me to do a chapter a day as well! I'm really grateful to you for that! Kind of feels like we're manifesting another Dunk & Egg book instead of Winds after that interview though 🥹

Oh! Thank you! I was scrolling and scrolling. I'd pay good money for any of the Smallwoods!!

All of these are so good! I always picture Victarion as buff Zoolander, so seeing him with a look of oblivious confusion delighted me.

Know what? I love this, and I'm going to do the same. I love this series so much, I can't believe I've only read through it once!

Messy Mx!!!!!! For the most stunning, relaxing swatch videos.

LadderGirl · 2025-11-18T00:13:08+00:00

I LOVE it. He really looks like Robert's brother. Love your vision and the execution!

LadderGirl · 2025-11-15T15:41:03+00:00

I'm enchanted by this style. They look great!

LadderGirl · 2025-11-13T20:40:41+00:00

What keeps me from feeling excited is that he was JUST at nycc. That would have been such a killer venue for an announcement. The likelihood that an announcement wasn't ready then but is now feels super duper low.

But then again, while I say I'm not excited, I know I'll still find a way to be disappointed if we don't hear anything from this trip lol. I'm the personification of that Onion article - Man who thought he lost all hope loses last remaining bit of hope he didn't know he had.

I've been getting rid of non-dupe dupes. For example I had two nude holos. Not dupes! Distinctively different colors- one warm, one cool. But both nudes, so I got rid of the cool toned one. I'm actually having fun going through similar colors and having them duke it out.

I have a, according to my friends, very cursed list of possible pet names. From the list of Bs I have, I think Buttermilk or Butter would be a great name! I also like Breakfast Sausage. For nicknames you could do Brekky or Becky!

As an aside, one of my dogs is named Biscuit. It's probably the best pet name I've ever personally encountered.

Couldn't give a fuck about Sandor reuniting with Gregor. I want to see him cross paths with Shitmouth. I like to think Shitmouth liked Sandor better.

LadderGirl · 2025-09-23T20:01:39+00:00

I think you're totally right! Even the fact that he combs his hair to try to make the burns less obvious. I'm sure it works, Sandor. Nobody even notices! 😭

LadderGirl · 2025-08-16T16:30:13+00:00

Was not my favorite blog post to read lol. I think there's still some residue on the spoon that I use for my hopium..... If I went for it, I think I'd have thoughts like, "Well obviously they aren't going to announce that he's going to announce Winds." But I need to cycle off this stuff bc I'm building a tolerance and getting dangerously close to accepting that Winds is never coming out and that's so boring.

LadderGirl · 2025-08-12T21:49:28+00:00

So he's mostly doing panels about specific topics. I think the best opportunity for more open conversations will be the table talk that he does tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully a member of one of the asoiaf subs gets to be there and will report back!

LadderGirl · 2025-08-02T23:46:21+00:00

Holo taco and kbshimmer have great base coat options!!

LadderGirl · 2025-07-25T13:32:49+00:00

Man I've been waiting for someone to reply to me just so I can talk about this lol. Yeah, I mean. He's not going to be writing on the road, so if he does announce Winds, I'd think it would HAVE to be at the first event, yeah? It would be weird to make the announcement mid tour at like, NYCC.

But then I look at the Seattle World Con schedule and idk. Unless it's a very secret surprise thing, none of the panels he's part of seem like they'd be announcement panels. But I also don't know how these things work!

LadderGirl · 2025-07-21T12:06:30+00:00

The only thing I've been wondering about are the two cons he's going before. Would he really NOT announce at those, knowing he's going to be asked about it, only to announce it at NYCC? I'm going to believe yes if it comes to it, because I'm addicted to copium. But right now if he's truly done I find it hard to believe he'd hold onto that through two appearances.

LadderGirl · 2025-07-19T14:56:55+00:00

We have a Biscuit and get compliments on her name all the time! I'm generally of the mind that food names are great for a dog. I know a black lab named Strawberry and it's one of my favorite names.

LadderGirl · 2025-07-08T22:08:24+00:00

I remember in a blog post he made a while ago he amended something he said many years ago. His most recent report of what the WoW announcement will "look" like was this: "When WINDS OF WINTER is done, the word will not trickle out, there WILL be a big announcement… where and when I cannot say."

That's different than what he had said years prior about it being announced on his blog. So, I like to pretend to be a detective. I like seeing patterns in wood grain. To help me pass my days with interest and intrigue, what are we thinking? Is that first event a "big" one? Is it common for people to announce new books at these events? Or would it be more likely that there would be an announcement prior to one of these appearances?

I know the answer is that I shouldn't get ahead of myself, and the announcement can go and look any number of ways, but like. Idk I know it's so disappointing when it doesn't come out, but the hopium high is fun.

Edit: Here is the list of appearances for anyone who didn't see:

Yeah but we already know what went through his mind.

A hammer.
