/lit/ - Literature

Fire and Blood nigger.

Is that the greyjoy house? Those are the most boring chapters in the series.

Hear Me Roar, you faggot.

Greatest.

I like winter is coming too.

What the fuck are you fags talking about?

>>415418
that one is good too.

>>415401
You shall pay the Iron Price for your blasphemy. What is dead cannot die.

Yea, Iron island shit was so boring I had to skim the pages in those chapters and I never do that with books.

>>415425

>>415381
Image is incorrect. It is "We do not sew."

They only wear knitted clothes.

>>415441
oh_you.jpg

They dont sow because they cant. They act like theyre proud of the fact that they cant accomplish something.

>>415449
Why are there stupid people who can't handle punctuation in /lit/?

what is this i don't know but i want to know so badly. i know the definition of ''sigil'' though

Song of Fire and Ice noble house that's a homage to H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu.

>>415462
It's from GRRM's Song of Ice and Fire series.
Ned Stark dies at the end of the first book.

>>415457
Ask Cormac McCarthy that.

>>415473

hahaha

>>415473
yea sounds like drivel, anyway

HOUSE BARATHEON WAS HERE

The Greyjoys are a bunch of faggots

OURS IS THE MOTHERFUCKING FURY

Unsullied here. You're all pussies.

Martin dies before he starts on the sixth book.

Asha's the only Greyjoy I liked. Theon's kinda fun because he's such an arrogant asshole, but the prophet guy is boring. I always picture him as Alan Moore.

>>415491
>implying that isn't a very well-known fact.

>>415494

Looking forward to more of The Reaver's story.

>>415489
>implying the unsullied are worth anything

good luck having to battle the entire Seven Kingdoms when they decide they FUCKING HATE the targaryens

Ugh... the absolute worst writing is the Daenrys stuff.

"Why yes! Of course we'll sell you our entire army, which is trained to be absolutely loyal to you and have no loyalty to us whatsoever, and is ample in power to not only seize back the purchase price, but also everything else we own!"

"..."

"Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!"

>>415594
Yeah, that was lame man.
that was bad writing right there

OURS IS THE FURY!

>>415594
I thought that was fucking awesome.

>>415616
You know the kind of sauce that's strong?

That ain't the kind of sauce that writing is.

Daenerys, the 14 years old military genius.

The Night's Watch here. Since Dondarrion went all jesus, we're the baddest motherfuckers in Westeros. We're understaffed and underfed, and we still kicked wildling ass.
P.S. Incest isn't Wincest. Ask Cersei.

>>415638
I'm sorry what?
are you agreeing with me?

Another thing I wasn't too impressed by was Roose Bolton picking the fat wife to maximize the "her weight in silver" dowry.

If it was gold it would have been different, but silver's just not that valuable. 200 lbs is about 3000 troy ounces, and at today's prices, silver's worth under $20 per ounce.

Basically, he picked a bloated wife for the price of a mid-range SUV, or in medieval terms, maybe a decent war horse. And this guy's a lord of one of the great houses.

That's not cold and calculating, that's just stupid.

Starks here.
FUCK YOU GREYJOY!

>>415697
you know asoiaf doesn't take place in the real world, right? so our economy is not the same as their economy.

>>415718
You know we all care about this made up world a lot more than the real one, right?

>>415718
I don't know about you, but I got the strong impression that the precious metals in their world are worth about as much as they are in ours: copper's small change, silver's everyday money, and gold's a way to carry a fortune in your pocket.

GRRM just didn't bother doing the math on that one.

Bitches don't know about my salutifer orbi

>>415697
>today's prices
>not our world

>>415697
Maybe he was just spouting out an excuse to cover up his love for plump women?

House Martell Here.

UNBOWED, UNBENT, UNBROKEN

>>416380
>UNBROKEN

If you un-broke something, doesn't that mean you fixed it?

>>415698

Aren't you all dead yet?

silver is more than "everyday money" even from the perspectives of the knights and lords you get the POVs of. It's still a good amount of money.

>>415635
Me too

>>415657
>we still kicked wildling ass.
pffft. you held off a nearly impenetrable wall for a day or so with massive casualties and the got your ass saved by stannis.

>>415697
I think the point was more that he didn't give a fuck about love, just money and the influence he'd have marrying a Frey. The math of how much the silver's worth isn't quite key.

>>416420

srsly fuck the freys

>>416401

For all intents and purposes?

Yes.

My one regret? House Umber is down on the ropes too. Bite off two of his fingers? They're now your friends for life.

>>416401

Huh?

>>416422
which one is umber again?

>>416429
The Greatjohn and the smalljohn

>>416429
A House sworn to Winterfell and House Stark. Their seat is the Last Hearth. Their sigil is a giant, breaking free of chains.
"Greatjon"

Jon Umber, Lord of the House, known as the "Greatjon" for his huge size. The Greatjon brought men to Winterfell when Robb Stark called the banners. He challenged the young lord's authority at first, until Grey Wind bit off two of his fingers. After this incident, he became Robb's most fervent supporter. He led the van of Robb's army as it moved south and participated in the Battle of the Whispering Wood and the Battle of the Camps. After Riverrun was relieved, he was the first lord to proclaim Robb the King in the North. He is believed to have survived the Red Wedding and is being held captive at the Twins by House Frey.

"Smalljon"

Jon Umber, son of the Greatjon. Battle companion to Robb Stark, killed at the Red Wedding.

>>416433
oh yeah, those fuckers are awesome.
Anyway, House Lannister is clearly superlative.
Fuck y'all.

>>416442

Of all of them the only one I really respected was Tyrion, if more for the sheer balls he possessed to do even 1/2 of the things he got away with and accomplished.

>>416460
Give them more credit than that.
Jaime was the finest knight of his time
Tywin was one of the most cunning fuckers ever.
Cersei led an epic coup d'etat
Joffrey has that cunt Sansa put in her place over and over again
There is no more badass house than the Lannisters.

>>416467

Except for the Starks, ofc

>>416482
fuck the starks. It's made up of 20 dead people and 4 children, one of whom is a cripple that rides on a retard's back. Which was plagiarized from Freak the Mighty.

>>416467

I think you meant

>There was no more badass house than the Lannisters.

Considering they're all either dead, imprisoned, or not really Lannisters anymore considering Tyrion is basically exiled and Jaime is taking his role as the Lord Commander over helping Cersei.

>>416489

4.5, really...

>>416494
that's a legitimate point you just made, actually.
I don't really have a response that wouldn't disqualify my remarks about the Starks.
Well played.

>>416496
come on. think about the hodor and bran, and then think about freak and max. The exact same thing.

>>416507

I do believe you are forgetting Lord Snow

>>416510
oh yeah, he's a pretty cool guy. good call.
Still, it's entirely possible that he will get fucked by Lannister hired assassins soon.

Guys, I'm GRRM's computer tech. Ask me anything.

>>416519

well stark now has their own hired assassin of sorts who would probably be more useful if she could see

>>416523
she's not an assassin yet, don't overstate her skills.

>>416522

How fat is he really?

>>416501

Oh, I'm not the same guy. As far as I'm concerned the Starks and Lannisters are all either without a real house or dead.

Come to think of it, I'm not actually sure who I want to come out on top in Westeros. The Lannisters and Starks are both up shit creek, the Greyjoys and Daenaerys would end up fighting the majority of Westeros if they ever actually TRIED to take over, the guys in Dorne don't seem to actually want to do anything other than fight Hightower and get revenge on the Lannisters, and I would absolutely hate it if Littlefinger somehow managed to weasel his way anywhere near the throne.

>>416524

in time she'll grow into it, provided she doesnt get raped half a hundred times

>>416529
I doubt that the Ironmen would actually have the capacity to do any serious harm to Westeros even if they tried. Their numbers are just not enough to do anything on land.
It seems like it will be a theocracy of sorts for a while.
Shit's gonna go down between the Seven and R'hlor.

>>416526

The Mountain That Eats is a pretty apt description.

>>416535

Shiiiiiiiit, totally forgot about the Militant Faith coming back.

>>416538

>>416522

How bout... IS HE FUCKING DONE YET!?

>>416544
he apparently hit 1311 pages on March 1.
says it will PROBABLY be done by the end of the year on his blog.

>>416548

And on March 5th, right below that he says, "For some reason, got nothing written today."

>>416548

Would it be any faster if he stopped watching so much football?

>>416548

Jesus, just think about what would have happened if he actually had all of that in AFfC as well.

>>416562
the book would have been over 9000 pages long

>>416544
>>416544

He's been done for a year. He's just not released it to raise anticipation. All this talk of writing? Pure marketing.

Who wants to know what happens at the wall?

>>416573

If that was true, the rage if it was found out would be immense.

Oh well, back to waiting for the next Dresden Files book...

>>416618

i guess we're just gonna have to hope butcher keeps putting out whilst we wait for grrm to awake from his eternal slumber

>>416633

So GRRM is Cthulu?

>>416652

Only instead of people he eats fanboy tears when a Stark dies.

>>416655

well after four books, he can't possibly *still* be hungry, can he?

>>416660

He hungers.

Maaan.... he's going to die of Nachos before he finishes the books isn't he?

Then we'll get a shitty continuation cribed from grease stained napkins and beer drenched notebooks...

>>416741

He authorized his agent to end whatever he's done writing with " ..and so Daenerys Stormborn, First of Her name, died across the narrow sea without ever seeing her homeland, and the others came across the wall and killed everyone. The end."

Did anyone start wishing after a while that Tywin Lannister had just taken over the kingdom? I mean he was by far the most competent motherfucker anywhere near the throne. He was even the Hand during the reign of crazy pyro king, a position infamous for getting shafted and blamed for everything, and yet the people actually liked him. He controlled his family's wealth and made them literally wealthier than the royal throne. He fights the north to a standstill, while simultaneously adding new allies with strategic marriages. And if only Catelyn hadn't happened to run into Tyrion at an inn, he probably would've managed to take over the whole kingdom, with or without assassinating Robert.

>>416982

>Crazy Pyro King

HUDDA HUDDA HUDDA

>>416982

Yeaaah..... that would be awesome.

>>416548
It will be longer than Atlas Shrugged.

Littlefinger...
'nuff said

>>415473
Well that was unnecessary.
