I can smell this picture.

With a magical mystery box and hooded magic figures. This is say nothing about the minor important characters that still influence the story a bit. The ending, if we ever get one, is going to be messy if only to resolve all the disparate elements throughout that series.)

Tyrion is about to propose an alliance with Dany RIGHT BEFORE she takes a dragon out to the middle of nowhere for a vision quest on the other. Stannis is right on the cusp of his doomed invasion, and there are two prologues in the last two books that hint at deus ex machina, possibly literally

Are plotting to escape their gilded cage to assault King’s Landing while Cersei is drunk with wine nearly 24/7 now and Jaime is reconsidering why he’s here at all. You got the Bright Lord stuff rampaging around the countryside, Arya is nearing the end of her training arc on one side of the world,

In the books, at least not yet, and is showing the exact same/similar powers that Bran is explicitly stated to have and John is implied to have. Sansa is currently ruling over the Riverrun after Littlefjnger “tripped” out the Moondoor, Sam is stuck in a university library, and the Sandsnakes…

(As a personal side note: I think GRRM wrote himself into a corner with the books because for the ending to happen, Dany has to lose to Euron to have her come back to Westeros while he has to come up with the magic to revive John after he got laterally stabbed in the back. Plus, Ricken didn’t die…

And I think that’s where the show at least consumed itself. There are all these separate character stories that shape the main plot in big and small ways. However, a lot of it was setup for a payoff that didn’t always land. Mostly because HBO didn’t have unlimited money to give everyone a full arc.

If you frequented an Internet forum around his time and an anime thread popped up, there would be one or two guys FIERCELY and shamelessly defending their love of “lolis” and why it was totally okay because they were like 10,000 years old on the show, they just look like a child.

Stephen King’s Salem’s Lot was a great introduction to his style of writing and while not every book is a winner and might be better under a tighter editor, no one sets a scene like he does. I have not read anything else that is as comfortably conversational about the local horror.

A Series of Unfortunate Events is a wonderful series that manages to slowly but wonderfully articulate the frustrations and eventual anger of tweens and early teenagers not being heard and failed by the adults around them in big and small ways.

Granted, you might need to give the kiddos some context on who Lord Byron was and why everyone loved him while being a skeevy ass.

Why does it have to be on the tip?!

Razor wire waffle fries. Either they were laid down, concealed like a Vietnam pit trap or thrown like shuriken.
