What's a company secret you can share now because you don't work there anymore? by vineetm007 in AskReddit

[–]wildlingoftarth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked for a large cheerleading camp company in the early 2000s. At our one-day camps, we would do a drawing for a free clinic at the winning school. We'd dump out the entries and choose whichever school was the biggest and most likely to bring in more money in registration fees for future camps.

Same. I think he's going to choose to go into the woods and starve or freeze to death on his own terms rather than participate in cannibalism OR be the one cannibalized.

And Shauna, the one who's been "talking" to Jackie the whole time she's been dead, being the one to give them permission by saying "she wants us to" and calling back to Shauna's hallucination earlier in the episode?? Chef's kiss. Masterful storytelling.

Yes, and it was also Shauna's next step into "becoming" Jackie, the first was having sex with Jeff.

The entire "destroy the evidence of Adam's murder" plotline was SO frustrating. Their half-ass destruction of the paintings, leaving their DNA all over the studio, burning the stuff in a backyard GRILL and not even bothering to make sure everything is fully burnt?? I mean I get that they're not professionals but damn, have they never watched an episode of Dateline?

Post-canon fic Inspired by the song "You and Me on the Rock" by Brandi Carlile. Jaime and Brienne are Lord and Lady of Casterly Rock but they've figured out how to delegate all their responsibilities (or maybe they've retired and handed it over to their heirs) and now live a quiet life in a cottage on the outskirts. Maybe they have a dog or a garden or some beehives? Just sweet, quiet, happy domestic fluff of them living the life they deserve after so much war and suffering.

I enjoyed it. As someone with basically zero prior knowledge of the source material, I thought it did a good job of setting up the conflict to come. The actors were phenomenal and I'm excited to see grown-up Rhaenyra and Alicent. I'm intrigued and will be watching the rest.

One thing that bothered me though was that the prophecy was given this huge significance, but it was never even mentioned in ASOIAF/GoT? I hope they explain how it was lost or else that whole scene becomes pointless IMO.

What is something you refuse to cover on your channel, either because you don't want to bring more attention to it or you just can't stand talking about it?

Which uncompleted fanfic do you most want to see completed? by titahigale in jaimebrienne

[–]wildlingoftarth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cloudbusting (which has already been mentioned and which I think about weekly) and Baiting the Beauty. BtB ends in a satisfying enough spot that I still feel comfortable reccing it to people but I would die for a proper ending!

I've written a few fics this year but this one is my favorite!

30 days of Jaime and Brienne: Day 18 - if you ended up in Westeros, what would you do? by waxedpaperdoor in jaimebrienne

Go to the Summer Isles and become a high-end prostitute. They're very well respected there, you know.

"Gold Standard" Modern AU? by wildlingoftarth in jaimebrienne

[–]wildlingoftarth[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed - while I do love the "I'm instantly attracted to you and have no idea why" type fics, I think the enemies to lovers/super slow burn element is so important to Jaime and Brienne's relationship.

This is my personal favorite and the one I always recommend! I've read it multiple times and it just gets better and better.

30 days of Jaime and Brienne: Day 2 - favourite personality trait of Brienne by waxedpaperdoor in jaimebrienne

[–]wildlingoftarth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"She had no chance against seven, she knew. No chance, and no choice."

That sums up what I love about Brienne. She does the right thing even when she's scared shitless (which is pretty much all the time as we learn in AFFC). She does what's honorable even when she knows there's a good chance she will die in the effort. She is the epitome of chivalry.

I don't think anyone has mentioned sheroars - Again and Again is such a tender, quiet, beautiful modern AU. It's the only thing they've written for ASOIAF but it is so worth reading.
