saw a tiktok discussing grrm attending the premiere of the mad king play in stratford-upon-avon in the context of him having recently discussed his depression and struggling with grieving friends on a recent blog post and like. one of the top comments was 'why is he attending the premiere of a play instead of finishing those damn books'. and when I say sometimes I want to murder every person who has ever picked up an asoiaf book with my bare hands. this is what I'm talking about

starting a new job tomorrow and I’m hoping it’s one of the last Really Scary Things I have to do for like. a year at least. I’m over my quota of Really Scary Things this year already
