If was given to Jon by Lord Commander Jeor Mormont after he had the pommel switched from a bear to a wolf.

Yes, because otherwise the Kingsguards' vows should've had them at the Trident protecting Rhaegar, which Ned even says to them before they fight, unless there was a legitimate heir in the Tower (or soon to be) that Rhaegar made them vow to protect at the cost of his own life. Kingsguard are sworn to protect the king…

Having grown up fairly close to Gettysburg, the battlefield and the surrounding museums were yearly school field trip destinations, so I went to this museum quite a few times, and I found it…pretty unsettling. I think some of the more popular presidents (or maybe just Lincoln) had recordings with them and some of the…

That's what happens when you invite the pale mare into your city.

No kidding! My boyfriend had gotten tickets to an event with him at the Tower Theater a few years back. I hadn't read anything by him since the mid 2000s (minus a few re-reads of the Sandman series and one American Gods re-read a few years back) and even though I had never even heard of the book he was promoting and…

The need to have something in my hands was, for me, the second most addictive quality of smoking. I knew there was no way I could actually quit smoking with ecigs or vaporizers. I used the patch (I am lucky, the patch just gives me weird, psychedelic dreams instead of night terrors) and had to give up hanging outside…

I've been introducing my bf to Avatar: The Last Airbender, and I had completely forgotten he voiced Firelord Ozai. We couldn't place the voice and had to look it up, to my shame once I realized it was Hamill.

Our litter boxes are in the basement, but we always know when my cat poops. He runs from the box, up the stairs and into the dining room as though his shit is trying to chase him
He's also slightly overweight, so it's pretty loud on the wooden steps, but we're just happy that at 11 or 12 he still gets exercise.

I did not know this existed and my life has been made more fulfilling knowing it does.
