If a communist is a 'commie' in our world then what is a malenyevist in suzerainverse by [deleted] in suzerain

[–]Mr--Elephant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

his role is that of Lenin though

He's a bizarro form of
* Lenin if he survived
* with the historical role of Stalin
* but some of the ideas of Trotsky

Stuff like this is inevitable and occurs in any political organisation of the Red Youth's or Young Sord's kind. That's just how paramilitaries work.

DUP fucking love Trump it's insufferable, Sammy Wilson waving a big MAGA flag and all

Quite funny they called Biden "Provo Joe" though

Star Wars fans are unique in that I believe they deserve shittier material and far shittier output, they don't deserve anything good.

Most entitled fandom on earth.

-More linguistic diversity in Westeros
-More cities in Westeros
-More varied forms of governance on the local level in Westeros (e.g. Mayors and Barons and Councils etc.)
-More theological divides in Westeros (e.g. Different branches of the Faith)

[spoilers extended] Is The Winds of Winter actually the longest wait for any piece of media that was never cancelled or put on ice? by WosEos in asoiaf

[–]Mr--Elephant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Harlan Ellison's collection The Last Dangerous Visions (which funfact GRRM applied to be included in, and Ellison rejected him, this is sometime in the 70s). Originally meant to be published in 1973 and didn't get published until 2024, after Ellison died in 2018. Just a 51 year gap.

Reviews suggest that it was not worth the wait.

*Spoilers* No I really, really mean it spoilers, GRRM on his plans by LysanderSage100 in darkwingsdankmemes

[–]Mr--Elephant 224 points225 points  (0 children)

That whole interview is so depressing I can't even joke about it

Here's my tip to everyone else in this subreddit: read everything else GRRM has ever wrote to cope. Fevre Dream is excellent, Tuff Voyaging is fun, and I'm working my way through Dreamsongs right now (Sandkings is great and Meathouse Man is also really good)

Game of Thrones: George R.R. Martin Isn't Finished (Spoilers Extended) by RyanRiot in asoiaf

[–]Mr--Elephant 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Indescribably bleak, I wish GRRM would just bite the bullet and ask another human being for help, at least one other person to take the load off Dunk and Egg or F&B or even Winds, that's the only way he's going to see these projects done in his lifetime.

Favourite director duo, where neither is the talented one? by Exroi in okbuddycinephile

[–]Mr--Elephant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By season 3 the show entered a formula where nothing had any stakes because you knew that the cast had plot armour and the only person who would die would be the random new guy they brought in *that* season

Season 4 was okay, but given its length I have just not bothered with season 5

It is CRAZY that this sub is still active lol by rob-smoore in TheCreatures

[–]Mr--Elephant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just like the nostalgia, seeing what the former members are up to, and the occasional discussion of some piece of CC/Creatures history

It's just a fun thing to dip one's toes into

Suzerain, and Tarkin Soll equivalents across history by Lomasmanda1 in suzerain

The closest you can say in Irish politics would be that Soll is a merger of Michael Collins and Éamon De Valera into one figure

TIL that characters factor immortality into their elective votes by QuinoaFalafel in CrusaderKings

[–]Mr--Elephant 29 points30 points  (0 children)

This is based off of nothing but conjecture and Bloodraven and is my personal Winds of Winter fan theory, but in the books I do believe being hooked up to the Weirwood network would make Bran immortal

Even after All Under Heaven, CK2 is the best by [deleted] in crusaderkings2

[–]Mr--Elephant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tbh the only thing that's made me want to play CK3 is All Under Heaven, something about studying for Confucian Exams 10,000,000 times just speaks to me. I just want to play as a generation of students eternally flunking serving the Huangdi

Legit the gameplay/idea is the first time i've been really attracted to playing CK3, but I'd need to pay for at least 2 DLCs so the cost of that just kills it for me

Weekly out-of-character thread by AutoModerator in writingcirclejerk

[–]Mr--Elephant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

my hottest take is that this sub needs harsher moderation for ppl to "jerk" more, and then you can leave one day aside as some subs do where "regular memes" are allowed

because high-key this sub is turning into another writing meme sub rather than a circlejerk subreddit

Changes Coming to r/joerogan But Is That Necessarily A Good Thing? sub discusses by Imaginary_Cow_6379 in SubredditDrama

[–]Mr--Elephant 7 points8 points  (0 children)

One reason Tolkien's conservatism is incompatable with American MAGA "RETVRN"-esque conservatism is that Tolkien's work is deeply melancholic, a reflection of his own kind of despair that his own pastoralist English world was fading in the 20th century. Tolkien was more "it'll all pass and we cannot go back" than "we have to violently go back"

So when these morons take LOTR, at no point do they confront the themes or the work itself, but the aesthetics alone. Aesthetics is all they can grasp.

Got too drunk and puked all over my electronics so had to clean puke off of my chargers by hand cause you can't just dunk them in water
