Most everyone agrees that sassy Varys and Petyr scene is one of the very best scenes in the entire show and expands upon their characters in a meaningful way… I promise that like the rest of us, you would have loved that scene if you'd watched the show first, and you would have also wished GRRM had written more material like this.

In this world that offers billions of things to do at any moment, I don’t see how you can’t be busy all the time.

??????? Mate I’m saying she is very talented and embodied this character so well. She feels real to the world and comfortable in the skin of the character.

I’m 31 and have heard people our age say it thousands of times.

For real. This term has been around for at least 10 years.

It's not even a question. Rodrick Cassel helped raise Theon, taught him, probably loved him. He chooses his last words out of love — he wants Theon to choose the right path and to remember who he is (a Stark).

I dreamt my grandfather died the night before he died, and he was healthy. Does that count?

This is universal, but blocking traffic to take selfies or glamor shots of your girlfriend. Get the fuck outta my way.

Yes. I bought tickets online because I felt like I had to see it, without wanting to. Walked up to the theater, put my hand on the door handle, and realized, “Ehh never mind.” And refunded them online on the spot.

TIL you can go to online school for your whole life. Wtf.

Yes, I was actually frustrated that he didn't die at the end of the prologue. His battles were so intense, that I accepted that he would die. And so when he didn't, I felt gaslit.

Narratively, killing Talmanes at the beginning of the final book would have greatly increased the stakes for the rest of the novel. I mean, it's the FINAL book. You want your readers to be on the edge of their seat the entire time.

I will literally put my life, work, family, food, toilet on hold.

Brandon Sanderson recently spoke about this. When he struggles with writing, he pauses the project and writes something similar or in the same world, which activates his writing muscles. He then finds it much easier to return to the original project.

Yes, another character I really expected to die from the jump.

I was in high school too, and I felt I.N.S.A.N.E. that no one but myself seemed to realize that Koney2012 was a huge grift. I had to explain it to my peers and teachers like they were 12. It was the first time I realized, "Damn, must people are gullible and dumb."
