Why so many wolf attacks in fantasy. Where are the Boars. The immortal and humongous Boar

Robert Baratheon

book jaime lannister is the funniest boy because from birth he’s constructed a grand narrative in his mind that he is the perfect knight to his sister-wife’s perfect maiden, a relationship that exists solely to fuel their mutual narcissism and help him cope with his chronic identity crisis/trauma, only to see a buff girl naked for the first time and come to the subconscious realization that it’s actually HIM who is the maiden to brienne’s knight and proceeds to spend the rest of their trip using preschool tactics of annoying her to death so that she can notice him and sweep him off his feet (it works)

also the fact that he at 17 sat on the throne that dictated the games, only to get off cause the fengshui was off and made his ass sore. what a guy

I love Jaime Lannister. His first appearance in the books by Jon Snow's pov will forever live rent-free in my mind: "this is what a king should look like" ahhh, chef kiss

i think it is important to recognize the ways in which your favorite thing sucks. i think it keeps u normal

The rookie mistake in fiction writing is assuming that short stories will be easier to write than novels because they're smaller. No. This is the equivalent to thinking that it's easier to make a pocket watch than grandfather clock. Short stories are complex engineering problems.
