The only thing that looked different is he looked much, much faster than they have shown the dragons in past episodes.

if i’m not mistaken, that picture is a shop.

Bran gets trapped in the past, becomes the Night King. Jon, realizing bitterly what his true destiny is, plunges Ice into the now empty boy’s body and retrieves Lightbringer. Defeats the Night King, ends the conflict.

he was being a dramatic badass. i mean you don’t have to believe me, but just check back in after they fight.

On the other hand, Ned Stark knew and took Jon in to protect him. He was raised a Stark, and everyone knows him as Snow but considered him Stark basically his whole life. He’s of the North (and the babe of Lyanna’s true romantic pairing), and doesn’t have the stink of the South on him. Going further than that, it’s…

it is 100% clear. he’s just being dramatic about it.

He didn’t though. He said it’s not how it ends for you, “you know who’s coming for you, you’ve always known.”

the idea of gordon going on a suicide mission, being abandoned by the only true human interaction he’s known in the series, and dropped out of the loop AGAIN, combined with this post? too heartbreaking. i loved this series, and i cannot bring myself to play it again.

it’s not that the word was abused, it’s just the very opposite of what society should be telling itself, i.e. “not everything is a big deal, and we can just move past it.”

this very blog network has an issue with the way it treats kids. it is not unusual to see kids made fun of on deadspin (for one), their faces and humiliating moments broadcast into the faux-eternity of the internet.

i’ll take this advice and hold onto it.

yeah, this feels like a resolution of Rich’s general arc. his career was to take way more than was advisable, to become way bigger than was advisable. mission accomplished, in a perverse, unfortunate way. i feel for his family and friends, but damn dude, this was pretty much always the goal. to find that limit.

Funny enough, the thing that Piana did which actually did hurt other people is:

you don’t see the state of fear until the threat of humiliation is upon them. some people have a nice cocoon, maybe they’ve adapted to having and handling the spotlight, but they may well react like cornered vipers if the wrong spotlight falls on them, or if they falter under its glare.

McGregor is 3-1 now, but these are not the odds anyone thinks he has of winning. McGregor opened at 25-1, and though most of the money has gone to Mayweather’s side, McGregor is garnering an obscene number of small-fry bets to his name.

“I support you guys, and it’s not about me. I’m not 100% how to handle that, is it cool if I stand behind you?”

Great name drop.

didn’t realize how much i would be looking forward to those unpublished pages until just now.

basically going to laugh and start his username everytime i see it.

lmao right? i was just having this discussion myself the other day. the further we get from the end of his source material, the more the show feels like fan fiction. it’s not just the architecture that’s missing, it’s the characters and their voices. we’re getting tormund and hound fan-service because they burnt out…
