Hello, I am Shelley.. Four and Twenty, from the UK ^__^.. I was lurking for a while before joining.... I've watched all three seasons, now almost finished the second half of aSoS, and have spoiled myself absolutely ROTTEN with everything... that's fine with me though, it just means I pick out more things as I'm reading which I may have overlooked without knowing certain things. I love reading discussions about the books, particularly on how character's work, their dynamics, and of course - the gods, the children of the forest, etc! I am a little more than obsessed with House Bolton. As for the 'lighter' characters (and the light/dark of most of GRRM's characters can heavily argued, all except Ramsay - most likely), my favourites would be Arya, Brienne, and Davos. I really enjoy reading Bran's chapters in the books, but haven't enjoyed him so much in the show - but I guess that could be because it's his internal monologue which makes him interesting, as well as his dreams and experiences of such. I also really enjoy reading Theon and Sansa, and see them and their storylines thus far as being two sides of a very similar coin. Aside from that, I enjoy music, film, mythology & folklore, horror & macabre, wasting time on Tumblr, and loving all the villainous types from most things. Yep, yep, hello. ^_^
