What if no one shot [redacted] and his head just did that

What if you were a second book in a madcap sci-fi quartet with a blue cover which had a plotline where world leaders stole the sperm of one guy who was in an ill advised relationship in order to conceive a useful child for political gain and everyone was named after literary or classical figures. And you WEREN'T harrow the ninth bc you came out in 2017

'Nihil obstat - 'nothing prevents it' - was the old license-by-fiat which kings and inquisitors pronounced in stifled ages when no printing press could give it's inky kiss to paper until Tyrant Church and Tyrant State had loosed censorship's universal gag.'

lmaoo we're so back. straight out the gate, first line, latin, religious doctrine and printing presses. save my 2026 ada palmer.

I love GRRM's complete lack of care for how hair works lol imagine being able to perfectly and quickly wash black dye out of blonde hair... Almost as bad as Dany growing back enough hair to plait (after being COMPLETELY BALD) in one book

I know this is arguably the point of these narratives but Dunk is such a flop knight lol bless him

All... ✏️ ...Lord Freys... ✏️ ...Are... ✏️ ...Gits... Ok got it

Ngl I think I do understand why GRRM seems more interested in Dunk and Egg compared to the og series at the minute. He can jump around and explore whatever he fancies and they're a lot less heavy, although still have a lot of potential

Lol not Gormon Peake again... Lord of Starpike... Har har har. surprised his arms aren't an owl

Egg giving his old straw hat to the mule to keep his head dry and even cutting holes for his ears to stick up through is soooo cute

"Lord Gormon Peake"?????? George 😭😭 still I've got to hand it to him and Tamsyn Muir for really determinedly bearing the Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast banner lol

Kinda love how Dunk has only fought a grand total of Once so far and it was really horrible and hard. We're looking at knighthood as a socio-political institution put the swords away!!

Wow they beefed up Lyonel's role for the show didn't they. More of Steely Pate than him

What did they tone down all of Aerion's dandyism for :(

Hang on ladies we're taking a detour from the main series

Of all the off-putting le guin covers from the eighties this may be the worst of all

Wow that's a lovely hairnet I can't imagine that it would be narratively significant in any way. Isn't it weird that Dontos called it 'vengeance for her father'? Haha. Anyway

Ok Iliad 16 moment. Renly is definitely dead but his armour went conspicuously missing so someone's wearing that for sure

I'm not sure I realistically believe that Tyrion would have killed as many guys as this even with nobleman's arms training and being part of a mounted charge, but I'll allow it as the bias of his own POV I suppose
