The Grey Wolf Strikes Back

@Lord Varys Re Fevre Dream: By ending I meant more the epilogue at the very end. Re Ice Dragon: https://www.amazon.com/Ice-Dragon-George-R-Martin/dp/0765378779 Is this the version you're talking about re editing? I vaguely recall reading somewhere that among other things they took out the mentioning of rape.

Fevre Dream was great. The ending resonates with me till this day. Both volumes of Dreamsongs are on my TBR shelf, as is The Ice Dragon.

Friendly reminder that the discount expires tomorrow!

He hadn't stopped. At the time of his death, he was working on Tyrion IX of ASOS and quite excited about it too.

Digital version of my first anthology is discounted for the next 7 days in the US and UK. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09N9QL1H7 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09N9QL1H7 Also, Eid Mubarak if anyone else here is Muslim besides me, lol!

They certainly look the part. Like the connection between Dunk and Brienne with the blue eyes.

Second episode is up! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfH0mc6NclM

Posted the first in a series of videos where I discuss how my co-authors and I came up with each short story in my first self-published anthology, Tales from Mistland & Other Oddities: Volume I! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfwUgbmxH7M

God forbid a woman have ambition and agency of her own even if it might make her unsympathetic, amiright?

From my personal perspective, Stilgar seeing Paul's denial as further proof of him being the real deal actually rings quite true. In Islamic eschatology, the Mahdi will refuse to answer the call until the believers force him to become their leader.

I imagine he would still need to have been knighted.

Not unless he's invented the elixir of life.

Saw it last night and was not disappointed!

I'd say that's the default when it comes to these things because live-action adaptations of animated material are usually little more than unimaginative cash-grabs banking on nostalgia over quality. Having said that, I've heard after the first episode things do improve, especially in terms of tone and atmosphere.

I doubt they've thought that far ahead.

Tells you how toxic some strands of Christianity are that they find recreational sex (which I'm assuming is sex for the sake of having sex because its pleasurable as opposed to procreation) reprehensible. Also, I find the Alabama ruling hilarious in its inanity because in my faith the soul very much does NOT enter at the time of conception but so much for freedom of religion or separation of church and state, yeah? [Also doesn't occur to any of these folks that some religions, gasp, allow abortion, albeit with some restrictions. Then again, these are the same people who would be up in arms over "sharia law" so maybe I should set my expectations lower. Much, much lower.]

@Kyoshi No worries. Thanks for clarifying.

Congratulations!

@Kyoshi Ramadan this year starts in a few weeks (March 10 IIRC), not a few days.

I can fix him?

Speak for yourself. I, for one, did not ask for this. Argilac was a badass with a badass name and a badass death.

This reminds me of something I came across on Reddit actually: The cake is a lie; there are only cookies. Through cookies I gain weight. Through weight I gain obesity Through obesity my chair is broken. Calories will set me free.

So Maegor is Demise from The Legend of Zelda?

Hmm...I don't know too many anime like that but I'll try to list some I think you would like. Fate/Zero Attack on Titan Goblin Slayer Golden Kamuy Samurai Champloo Afro Samurai Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood The Heroic Legend of Arslan (Don't think it ever got renewed for a second season) Drifters (Don't think it ever got renewed for a second season) Tower of God Katanagatari Re: Zero Gurren Lagann Berserk Devilman Crybaby

What have you seen and what do you like in general when it comes to anime?
