my boss is making me read this

“Dany had no wish to reduce King’s Landing to a blacken ruin, full of unquiet ghosts.” Yeah so let’s actually forget the books ever happened and write the last season based on whatever we fucking feel like

2026 goal is to finally finish this series

spent many minutes reading discourse on how to pronounce coyote before i even got to the first chapter… i’ve come to the decision to read it as “ki yoh tee”

has no one ever heard of punctuation

No oxford commas… how do you expect me to read this…

“Two days later… I received an impassioned letter from Sonoko. There was no doubt that she was truly in love. I felt jealous. Mine was the unbearable jealousy a cultured pearl must feel toward a genuine one. Or can there be such a thing in this world as a man who is jealous of the woman who lives him, precisely because of her love?” (208)
