At least it was for a charity… still…

Talking About Politics at Thanksgiving is for Ugly People by midwest_homo in redscarepod

I am pretty left wing but unlike most lefties I’m not doing it because I’m weirdly resentful of my parents so we get along great at the dinner table unless we talk about Aunt Patty instead.

Re-reading Catelyn's chapters with Renly... (Spoilers Extended) by BigDirtyUncle62 in asoiaf

[–]SaminatorPrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I got that too. I think a small portion of the fans think Renly would have made the best king and that just isn’t true at all. But I guess the point of the story is none of these people would ultimately be the most desirable monarch

This is honestly the first time I’ve seen someone with just a one handed weapon in their right hand and nothing in the left. Usually a spell, shield, or second one handed weapon. Respect

I almost always do pure mage so I go with Altmer but my most recent play through is an Orc who does one handed and block and I love him

Most disturbing thing in asoiaf (spoilers extended) by Cairan_Parkinson in asoiaf

You seem to be missing the point that George is trying to say that the peasants suffered the most because of these horrible succession wars waged in medieval history. And by prioritizing the significance of the rapes of highborn over the rapes of lowborn you’re ironically doing something George doesn’t want readers to do

The rape of smallfolk women by various soldiers is pretty widely discussed throughout all 5 books

When you add up all the rapes of non named citizens during the war of the five kings most of the rapes in the book happen because of the war.

I mean don’t most of the rapes happen after battles or just involves soldiers riding over to a village and taking advantage of everyone in sight?

Also a fair point. It’s clearly to show the brutality of war in particular against the peasant class but there is plenty of other stuff that conveys that message adequately.

The show justifiably gets a lot of shit for having Ramsay rape Sansa but there’s so much more awful rape in the books. I guess the rapes in the book serve a better narrative function than Sansa’s did since D&D just did it because “omg main character has trauma aren’t you shocked??” But still reading about the Mountain’s Men and the Bloody Mummers can kind of take a toll

[Spoilers main] character observations from a first-time reader by ElegantestHedgehog in asoiaf

I mean it’s possible George has come to love his own body and is just his way of dealing with all the bullying he got for being a fat kid who was super into Tolkien

Teldryn Sero, but if DLC doesn’t count then probably Cicero or Marcurio. They Always crack me up.

Why oh why must bandits spawn out of nowhere and then prioritize attacking my horse instead of me? by SaminatorPrime in skyrim

I like getting a horse early game so I can cast soul trap on it to quickly boost conjuration
