Maybe I’m alone but Theon’s “beat me like a punching bag” beach fight just seemed sad. All the important people are handling dragon fire, insane siblings with undead murderslaves, and an army set to extinguish all life, and I’m supposed to cheer because Theon finally stood up to a bully? Eh.

I just have one question: IS TORMUND FUCKING GIANTSBANE ALIVE?!?!?! I NEED TO KNOW. NOTHING MATTERS TO ME AS MUCH AS THAT RIGHT NOW

Very funny, I once talked about this with a coworker who had had the same sanatorium fantasy (and had read the same books, obv.)

I just wanted to have an unlimited amount of leisure to read. If TB was the ticket, then so be it!

It needs to be stressed that this wouldn’t have happened without crowd-sourcing his identity. The Cville police have made no effort to investigate these people. Every single arrest has come only because private citizens have identified these people and assembled evidence themselves.

Goddess grant me the confidence and hubris of a completely, mediocre white dude.

As a child I wanted to have TB and convalesce in of those Swiss rehab spas. I read a lot of children’s books from my mom (who grew up in the 50s) when that apparently was a thing.

Me too! I cheated on my eye tests.

Same! Also wanted acne!!

I knew I would find a kindred spirit here. Same for me for all! I also wore my retainers well into adulthood until I lost them. Glasses have become part of my face, but I’m at an age where the period is making its final grim efforts, get gone already!

Buck up, Gwen. Maybe your kid will be like both of mine, who said they NEEDED glasses, got a “yeah, sure” from the mall optometrist, and whose mom agreed to get the coolest style of the moment. Fast forward three months, and a miraculous cure happened - glasses are now in the Drawer of Expensive Lessons.

I thought this part of the interview was even worse...

So what if she does. A vindictive mother would still only get, what, maybe 50%.

“It would be a good feeling to just live a normal life for a second.”

You left the ultimate one out:

Fun Fact: All of her personas suck.

“To milk an almond” killed me.

but he’s spent a lot of time thinking about the fuckability of blue people!

I can acknowledge the point, buried somewhere in there, that it must be very irritating to have created great female characters like Ripley and (to some extent) Sarah Connor, and have everyone “Finally!”-ing Wonder Woman.

It’s kind of amazing he didn’t catch himself mansplaining after the forth or fifth word.
