rereading Jon Snow ADWD chapters always hits like a ton of bricks theyre SOO GOOD AHHHHH THEY'RE SO GOOD THEY'RE WHY THIS BOOK IS SO GOOOOOD

GRRM i need you to know i never subscribed to ADWD slander i saw the vision the Moment i read the prologue.

Castle Black in JON I: "A bleak and forlorn place in the pale dawn light. My command, Jon Snow reflected ruefully, as much a ruin as it is a stronghold."

Castle Black in JON XII: "Lights now shone through windows where Jon Snow had never seen lights shine before. [...] Outside the barracks he came across a dozen men pelting one another with snow. Playing, Jon thought in astonishment, grown men playing like children."

Like. This is the series, this is the point. All men must die, Jon Snow, but tonight we'll live. Now that you've reached across and opened the gate and gave them halls and hearths for no reason other than they're men, and you guard the realms of men – we'll live.

The way ADWD weaves in these arcs of sheer triumph when the overall trajectory is darkness and misery is just so masterful. Like with Theon, he objectively is still in a very bad spot in the end, but compared to where his chapters started? He got away, he flew, and now he knows his name. It's a very private, personal triumph while Jon's is overarching, historic, political, he filled the empty halls, he garrisoned the abandoned castles, he joined Alys and Sigorn's hands.

So yeah Jon might be dead in the end of this book but like. There will be a second life, worthy of any king, and also he opened the gate.

this 'being really tired after work' thing is really getting in the way of this 'pursuing my artistic hopes and dreams' thing has anyone else noticed this

If you have a friend that wants to vent to you but doesn't want solutions but you are a solutions-oriented person, may I suggest Silly Solutions (TM)? For instance, whenever my friend complains about the people at her job being dumb, I remind her that if only one of us had studied engineering, we could create a giant hippo robot with laser eyes to destroy them. It fulfills my need to offer a solution, doesn't violate her boundary of not wanting to problem solve, AND it cheers us both up!

ecological problems of colonialism also have more to do with the exploitative nature of colonialism than with foreigners lacking an elf-like connection to the land imo

I love action movies and I especially love those that develop characterizations through the action (see Nicky and Joe checking on each other and protecting each other after every death).

After Nile saves them from the lab and they set out Nile leads the way taking the position that is usually Andy’s and the rest follow to keep Andy safe. The problem for anybody who has been fighting in a specific formation for long enough is trained habits. In the very next room, Andy pushes past Booker and Nile to retake her usually position at the front of the team.

In the hallway, the other three men shift back into their usual formation of fighting and Andy is left exposed.

Nile recognizes the problem and puts herself in the way saving Andy.

In the immediate aftermath, Nicky sees what happens and adopts a similar solution, putting his body in the path of a bullet heading towards Andy.

Finally the rest of the team has changed to a new strategy around Nile and Andy. Instead of Nile leading, she stays close to Andy to be a shield. Nicky is holding up the rear for the same purpose.

Despite everyone’s best intentions they’ve been fighting a certain for hundreds if not thousands of years. Nile is younger but she reacts to a problem in their strategy and fixes it. Even more, the others immediately follow her lead and replicate her tactic.
