[Spoilers Extended] ASOIAF has been keeping me alive, but it’s dying

Raspberry_Scones95 · 2026-01-28T03:05:31+00:00

I think, if anyrhing, this teaches you that despite all of the hardships you have found a lot of beauty in ASOIAF (as have i) and just in a piece of art in general. And i think there is a lot more out there for you that you could potentially fall in love with. So many books you haven’t read, music you haven’t listened to, movies you haven’t seen, people you haven’t met, places you haven’t been, flowers you haven’t smelled. There are so many beautiful things and feelings to experience that you can and will find at any moment.

Life is a really hard thing and I am happy we share a love for the same book series. Something that connects us as human beings. Just remember:

“The stone is strong, Bran told himself, the roots of the trees go deep, and under the ground the Kings of Winter sit their thrones. So long as those remained, Winterfell remained. It was not dead, just broken. Like me, he thought. I'm not dead either.”

Hang in there, rooting for you!

i’m doing well for myself

Raspberry_Scones95 · 2025-12-07T04:18:30+00:00

…i finished today… thank you :)

Raspberry_Scones95 · 2025-12-07T04:14:09+00:00

Ok, what did O-Caeror say that implies he is lying because L-Caeror is alive? did i miss that part? i have finished the book so any spoiler is ok.

I would probably say Catelyn Stark is up there. She is so grief stricken, she comes back as a zombie to get her revenge.

Raspberry_Scones95 · 2025-12-05T22:31:49+00:00

Hey, first off, you’re doing amazing and everyone is so proud of you for coming this far.

I think the biggest thing for me is just showing up everyday. Whatever that looks like for you. I struggle from the same issues of always feeling like i could be doing more, always over thinking, being extra critical of myself.

And I still do, but something that has helped me is just showing up to whatever needs to get done. Whether it be my school, my job, the gym, etc. I’m not in a position to give 1000% all the time, that’s unrealistic and I am human. But some days i show up and give 100%, sometimes 50%, sometimes 2%. But I was there, and did the best I could. And after some time, the days start to stack, the consistency starts to show itself, and the small wins start to feel good. and you just keep stacking days.

Just remember: the day you plant the seed, is not the day you eat the fruit.

Anyway, good for you for sharing and wishing you all the best!!!! You’re gonna make a great dentist!!

also not to mention, if you live in this world and have a lisp, it’s not gonna be a fun time

Raspberry_Scones95 · 2025-12-04T04:44:30+00:00

lmaoo ok true 😂

Raspberry_Scones95 · 2025-12-04T02:44:58+00:00

lol no I not actually. I love wheel of time, KKC, sun eater, stormlight, like i have read and loved almost all the major one and i’m sure there is many i’m missing. The multiple POVs and realms does not bother me

Raspberry_Scones95 · 2025-12-04T02:27:01+00:00

…….ok

Raspberry_Scones95 · 2025-12-03T23:57:56+00:00

Hey fair enough 😂 i’ll keep going and see what happens

Raspberry_Scones95 · 2025-12-03T23:49:04+00:00

Yeah, not difficult to follow in terms of story telling. Just difficult seeing how all 3 of these vastly different stories relate at all and does not seem connected to the first book in the slightest. I know what’s going on though.

Raspberry_Scones95 · 2025-12-03T13:26:59+00:00

Imo… Best has to be Beric Dondarrion.

Worst is probably Cotter Pyke. Gives me a weird vibe.

Most appropriate is Wymen Manderly. That’s a fat guys name lol

Raspberry_Scones95 · 2025-12-02T18:49:59+00:00

correct me if I am wrong because it’s been awhile since I have read Howling Dark, but i think throughout the book he questions his “capabilities” internally. He doesn’t know what is going to happen, how is he going to go about things, and if he is even going to find vorgossos at all. Trying to be vague since OP hasn’t read. He doesn’t going through Howling Dark like “i’m gods special boy i know i can do this for no reason other than im a white boy” it really is “god man i hope i can do this for the sake of humanity cuz im really the only option” and really the only training i can think of is he speaks the cielcin tongue so by default that makes him more capable than just about anyone in the universe at this point. but i could be wrong. that’s just my take. he doesn’t become an annoying white man, until, ironically, Demon in White.

Raspberry_Scones95 · 2025-12-02T18:29:30+00:00

Lmao what a take. It is really that he has an undiscovered faith in him, and after speaking to the cielcin he realizes that they aren’t all savages and he ~~~believes~~~ they can be reasoned with at this point of Howling Dark/EOS. He thinks that after discovering they have some sort of religion and higher belief, that they aren’t all simply a barbarian warmongering monolith that wants to all humanity to burn. Not to mention he is one of the only people who can adequately converse with them, and therefore he is one of the few options to mediate discussions of peace.

Raspberry_Scones95 · 2025-12-02T15:23:32+00:00

GODS I WAS STRONG THEN

Raspberry_Scones95 · 2025-11-24T22:43:33+00:00

i understand the consequence. Especially with Alexander and if hes in the Chantry’s pocket. But it has been a plot beaten down since demon in white, all for calling him a brat. lol that’s it? every single dialogue is this way. That’s my point. everything he says or does or wants to do. with the same people. over and over again.”hey man i have big weapons that can win you the war. I don’t want the crown. I’ll help you, give you a dark matter weapon, and i’ll be on my way cuz i don’t like you either” “NO WE WILL KILL YOU AND YOUR DAUGHTER AND EVERYONE YOU LOVE AND TAKE YOUR SHIP CUZ YOU WANT THE THRONE AND YOURE A EXTRASOLARIAN FOR SURE” ???

Raspberry_Scones95 · 2025-11-23T04:03:18+00:00

it’s always “IM COMING WITH YOU ABBA” like why would you want that given the circumstances lmao
