@jiegableeby Not too sure of anything specific but I’d guess maybe a combination of Disney movies, Cartoon Network, and some anime?

@Aryastarkling_ Yea I had the same thing happen at the beginning lol. That’s kinda what made me realize I can’t just look up something even if I think it’s completely unrelated to the other books. I had a couple spoilers but thankfully it’s been nothing so far that’s lessened my enjoyment.

@ReaILuckyStrike I’ve already given myself some light spoilers and potentially one massive one cus I couldn’t help myself. I never learn my lesson. 😭

@Aryastarkling_ Yea these books are so good at making me feel so many emotions. I’m currently at the beginning of the Tawny Man trilogy and I really want to get involved with the fandom and see what kind of fan art is out there but I’m forcing myself to wait since I’m terrified of spoilers lol.

@ReaILuckyStrike Its frustrating but a good kind of frustration. The character’s feels so human so of course their decisions aren’t always the most logical( even if it makes me scream at times. Can’t wait to read the rest of the series.😊

Jelly the Slime 💚 VGen Comms Open!
For now I'm going to take down the Emergency C0mms discount on VGen! She seems to be doing a good bit better but we will keep everyone updated incase something happens. Anyone who has paid for an Emergency c0mm doesn't need to worry about prices going up also!
Jelly the Slime 💚 VGen Comms Open!@jiegableeby

Update! We haven’t been able to take her to the vet since we don’t have an animal carrier available but we did some research and I believe her food was messing her up. We were feeding her 9Lives since it was affordable (fuck them btw). We gave her some-

In 10 minutes, Israel bombed 100 targets in Lebanon, including schools with displaced civilians, health centers and even a funeral. The areas hit were supposedly “safe”. Thousands of casualties. Thousands. In 10 minutes. This is how Israel makes up for its failures. With blood.

@belladonnafeli I don’t go out of my way to buy them but every once and awhile I’ll see one that I like. The illumicrate Farseer Trilogy ones I think are the most impressive I’ve seen but those have incredible art too and not just the sprayed edges as the main thing.

@All_Lee24 100% agreed. Those felt so out of place to me. Not just Tywin but them misunderstanding Arya and having her say that awful “most girls are idiots” line. It’s horrible. And Arya’s actual arc there with Roose would’ve been so much more interesting.

Yeah I want people to understand that my fear for the Elden Ring movie comes from my trauma as an ASOIAF book enjoyer 😭 like Game of Thrones is the general perception of these characters I love and they’re completely alien to me in their most well-known form

If it's just real shitty then it's whatever. I think worse is when something is decent/enjoyable by a good portion of people but then mischaracterizes your fave. And then that becomes face of said thing.

@belladonnafeli I think specifically it was Dany’s story in the first book that was too much for him. At least he knows he’s a terrible choice. I truly don’t think there’s anyone who can finish ASOIAF in a satisfying way but George. And there shouldn’t be anyone but George either.

@belladonnafeli And I’m pretty sure he’s saying that based on just the first book. I remember him saying he didn’t read past the first book because it was too much for him.

He genuinely has terrible reading comprehension to say Asoiaf is inherently pessimistic
Fandom Pulse@fandompulse

Brandon Sanderson on why he would not finish George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones even if he was asked: "I wouldn't say yes to finishing ASOIAF, if asked. (And I don't think they'd ask me.) I'd respectfully decline. I wouldn't be right for the job for many reasons. I wouldn't want to put in the content that the series has, and part of that is due to my religious faith, part of it is just who I am. I don't shy away from difficult material, but I prefer not to get explicit. Honestly, when I read it in George's work, I often just cringe. I don't think it fits in prose; I think it looks tacky. But that's almost 100% due to the my religious leanings. I realize that others don't read such scenes in the same way as I do. However, I'd suggest that this is actually a minor reason why I'd be a bad writer on this series, despite having enormous respect for GRRM and his talent as a storyteller. The primary reason has to do with fundamental optimism vs pessimism. I write darkness into my books, but it is darkness as contrast to light, and there is always a spark of hope. George's work seems fundamentally pessimistic--which I don't say as a slam. One of my favorite short stories is Harrison Bergeron, which is also fundamentally pessimistic. Saying George's work is pessimistic doesn't mean that HE is pessimistic, only that he creates a work of art that evokes emotion and discussion through pessimistic themes. As a comparison, I'm glad that Silver Age science fiction produced both Harrison Bergeron and Star Trek--but I'm Star Trek, not Harrison Bergeron. Calling me in to work on this piece would be like calling in Spielberg to finish a Tarantino film. (Not to imply I deserve to be ranked with either one.) Sure, he could do it, but wouldn't you want someone who themselves makes films with Tarantino-like themes? My work is also fundamentally different from George's in our use of magic. We've talked about books, and he points out (rightly) that I often use a heavily magical component in my stories--particularly the endings. This is because I'm writing science/magic hybrids, and the idea of magic as progress is fascinating to me. George, however, prefers his magic to be arcane, unknown, and dark--not a tool, but a force you can sometimes (with great danger) apply. This is a small issue, as I'm fond of books that use magic differently, I've just made a stylistic choice in how I do what I do." Do you think this still holds?

@robinhobb Happy Easter! My family gifted me the Tawny Man trilogy for Easter. Can’t wait to read it soon since I just finished Liveship Traders and LOVED it.

To all who share my holiday, may you find joy and hope in Easter. And to everyone, may the promises of spring lift your heart. And if it's Fall in your hemisphere, take rest and harvest as winter approaches.

@dunksknappe Also just going into practice mode and swinging around and learning how to quick attack and swing away makes a huge difference. He’s stressful to learn at first but once you play around a bit he’s not as bad as you might think.

@dunksknappe Make sure to turn off simple swing and rebind it to a separate key that lets you only use it when you need to get away. Learn the basic web combo, and rebind get over here to a separate key so you don’t accidentally waste it and get stuck on cooldown.
