@DarthGrando “How Star Wars Was Saved in the Edit” has done incalculable damage to peoples understanding of objective reality. Literal books worth of information that no one cares to look at because a YouTube video told them something that appealed to their preconceived bias

@maiamindel @bidonica1 Saw a tweet once that said “George Lucas was influenced by Westerns, Samurai movies, Saturday matinee serials, eastern philosophy, the heroes journey and Arthurian legend, and he made Star Wars. JJ Abrams was influenced by Star Wars and he made a shittier Star Wars”
English

basically every form of anything has that problem, the simpsons is now written by people whose only background is in watching the simpsons, snl with snl, star wars with star wars, pop music with pop music

beyond "nobody reads anymore," this is because many modern filmmakers work off of a base of the filmmakers they were inspired by, whereas those people were building off of art, sociology, history, and yes, literature. Obviously isn't true across the board, but you know

@RealiaAmelia @masseyenjoyer Hey, woah now, he did not purchase a boy. He won the boy by sports betting
English

@masseyenjoyer qui gon at the jedi council: masters, i bought a boy
ki adi mundi: what
qui gon, louder: i said i bought a boy

@RealiaAmelia Doctor: yeah your internal organs look like they’re heavily, heavily damaged by alcohol damage
Morgan: damn that’s crazy McDonald’s is so unhealthy

@gaemonspalehair No man can withstand the ghost of Renly Baratheon 😔

@JantheTool Genuinely where is the pedo accusation coming from? I’m trying to recall any time he thought soemthing creepy about a young character and I’m drawing a blank but idk
English

@2may2equinox 100% agree, and fun fact GRRMs writing reflects that because he wrote the entire book in like 18 months!
English

@RealiaAmelia Also I feel like sourleaf is chewing tobacco-coded, if not just straight up the same thing. Someone should try rolling that shit up
English

now normally i’d say they don’t have tobacco because it’s medieval europe but like… the corn

Why does noone in Westeros smoke I feel like half of the cast could use a cig or a dozen actually
English

@theweirdinggay @erryknotarryk As someone who ready Princess and the Queen and Rogue Prince way before reading F&B I still sometimes will realize that F&B slightly changed wording from how I remember and that gets a bit annoying lol
English

I'm begging you larpers to sit down and actually read "The Princess and the Queen", bc F&B is not GRRM's only account of the dance of the dragons, and Meleys is absolutely described as battle hardened there.

@gulaaab__ They can each call their banners and make a westeros sandwich

@stevenniem1989 @LegoRacers2 Corn can refer to other grains in English, but it’s confirmed that Maize exists in westeros. It’s yellow, grows on ears, is sweet, Arya and the nights watch eat some that’s roasted in aCoK. Also George has confirmed that corn exists in Westeros at a convention lmao
English

@LegoRacers2 Pumpkins too right? I have heard Corn might be a reference to barley corn and not Maize
English

@SettledWolves @LegoRacers2 Well I mean, if the streets form anything resembling a grid then it’s reasonable that calling it a block might arise organically!
English

@LegoRacers2 I don't love that he referred to someone as walking the equivalent of "3 blocks" through fleabottom....this is not New York ser, this is not America but with dragons
Ain't no such thing as a block, there are streets and corners
English

@NSFoperative @LegoRacers2 Wait is there actually? Like in a “sour leaf is tobacco” type way or?
English

@ladynoir @_glorianas One time I mentioned male gaze to an acquaintance while talking aboyt film and she said “wow so you think only male perspectives are valid?” And I said “no that’s not what it means, it’s a media criticism term” but then she kept accusing me of mansplaining and making it up.
English

@Trey_Explainer I remember where I was when I read the “Last Year” not a blog post in January 2016. This ain’t nothing new, and the real ones roll with the punches
English

These Larpers not understanding just how distracted George is from Winds.
Homie we’ve been getting false reports like this since I was in high school
Thrones Updates@ThronesUpdates
George R.R. Martin's publisher has debunked ‘The Winds of Winter’ leak revealing the release date “The online chatter you are seeing regarding a supposed leak is false,” (via: ew.com/the-winds-of-w…)
