If an opponent thinks the creature can be beaten, he will engage because of the size. If he thinks it cannot be beaten, he will resort to extreme measures to find a way around it. Or run.

[enters IMGflip] [emerges 3 hours later with Goncharov (1973) and The Goncharov Trilogy book series memes] Please appreciate what I do for you with nothing more than a vague recollection from reading the books as a teenager and only recently finding out there was an entire movie made from them, apparently.

Hera: children you have not found the love of your life if you didn’t find them in the trash!

*Sabine and Ezra both look at Kanan*

Kanan: why do you assume that I was in the trash?!

Leia: no she’s got a point

Ezra: does this mean I can space Kallus cuz Zeb didn’t find him in the trash!

Kallus: Bridger I swear

Zeb: kid….Kallus was the trash

GRRM tried to take a jab at Tolkien for not being "realistic" and going into needless amounts of detail, not knowing Tolkien absolutely did all that in the 200+ page long appendix of Return of the King

Hey, I wrote a book and would love it if you checked it out!

Intrigue and war wind together, as politics play between domestic enemies even as the armies of the Veltoi Tribes and the Tunulman Republic clash in the field. Ideals are tested by the heart’s ambition, and by enemies too pragmatic to meet in the light of day. And in Xerxia, a tragedy begins its opening act, as the deepest secret of Alchemy is sought by different sides, more ancient foes and the morbidly curious. A war beginning as raids with fire and sword may sweep into something more, and mortal flesh may develop to godhood.

It’s an epic/political/dark fantasy novel set in a world inspired by antiquity with multiple POVs, characters taking thing seriously while others can barely muster themselves to show apathy, esoteric dreams, magic swords, romance, and plenty of cultures and history to dive deep into.

If you like A Song of Ice and Fire, First Law, or the Farseer Trilogy, I think you’d really love A Promise Wrought in Steel.

I was just rewatching HOTD and was wondering if you think because Aleksander spent so much of his life in a palace, surrounded by politicians, do you think he’s house of the dragon and GOT level political savvy? Do you think he’s in that kind of political atmosphere most of the time? I mean he did oartake in using spies and plots for regicide. What do you think that part of being at least somewhat at court was like for him? Or do you think he was mostly just a general?

Oh hey I love HotD too! Actually I love the whole series of "A Song of Ice and Fire".

So for your question, first correction! he has been in many palaces. It has been confirmed that he had travelled a lot in his life and we've seen him in "When Water Sang Fire" being the apprentice of a seer (in freaking Fjerda). So he had been taught by Kings, politicians and "magicians" indirectly. Because (unlike Alina) he strikes me as a guy that learns by his surroundings and their actions and gives attention to anything they can teach him (especially in his younger days).

He's a good strategist and a logical politician. Back in R&R when he was King, he made a very uneasy alliance with Fjerda in order for them to allow him supply lines for his army. He could have let them starve but he put aside his own feelings and pride and had a (tentative) agreement with a lifelong enemy to provide food for them.

Now how did he manage to do that (given Fjerda's hate for the Grisha) I don't know. But it's remarkable for me and shows that he can also be a great diplomat.

So yeah, I see him as a person that is into the political stuff not because he enjoys it but because he must and, nevertheless, he's damn good at it.

As a General, he certainly attended councils with the rest of the ministers and advisors (I doubt if the King ever attended them though) but he could never take a decision about the First Army or the wars of Ravka exclusively by himself because his power didn't extend to that. He only took decisions by himself only if the matter at hand concerned the Grisha, since he was the leader of the Second Army. For example, where he would send them, what they would do there, which Grisha would be given to royal families and which would stay here etc.

Anything that had to do with his people, he could decide by himself. But anything that had to do with the First Army or warfare, he could only give his suggestion or advice in the councils.

At the end of the day, he too was a servant of the King.

I’m liking “House of the Dragon” so far. The only thing is that I can’t really take Viserys Targaryen seriously mainly because I keep expecting him to say, “It’s alright Rhaenyra, it’s just bolognese!”

The Unbreakable Bonds: A Look at Bromances in Fantasy Literature

As avid readers of fantasy literature will attest, there’s little in this genre that captures our hearts and imaginations quite like a good bromance. These intimate friendships, often between two (occasionally more) men, present an opportunity for deep character development, exhilarating adventures, and emotional resonance that many of us can relate to. But fear not, this isn’t a dissertation…

Dear Duolingo,

I like using your app sometimes, but how come only Star Trek’s Klingon and Game of Throne’s High Valyrian are available to learn as fictional language while neither of J. R. R. Tolkien’s Quenya or Sindarin are?

“The bloodsuckers got him first.” I rolled my eyes. “Bloodsuckers? Really? Every vampire TV show ever called—they want their catchphrases back.” “Vampires suck blood. Hence the term.” “Use a little originality. They screw like rock stars, too. So why don’t you call them rock-star screwers?” “Besides the clumsiness of that phrase, rock stars are mortal. They couldn’t possibly screw as well as vampires.”

Will be returning to ATLA writing in 2023:

And among my plans is a trilogy of works, each about 25 chapters long, detailing events of the Hundred Year War. The first, the War of Air and Fire, covers the genocide of the Air Nation and the events that lead up to it and with it the onset of the world war.

The second, the War of Ice and Fire, covers the rise of Fire Lord Azulon and the events that lead to the Southern Raids.

The third, the War of Fire and Stone, covers the Siege of Ba Sing Se.

These will be war stories, with all that entails, and my taking a bit of time to indulge my military history background and devise bits like this for a straight up war narrative.

My go to favorite distraction! What is your favorite book and why?

Oof, that’s a tough one

Let’s ramble about books, I have many to choose from 💕

One of my all time favourites is “The Bell Jar.” It was one of the first books I ever came across that handled mental health so openly and bluntly (and I’m a sucker for Sylvia Plath, I love her poems). I love the story and the style of the novel; it’s blunt, it’s angry, it’s emotional but there’s that glimmer of hope

My favourite book series is “The Daevabad Trilogy.” I can’t recommend this series enough! It’s one of the best fantasy stories I’ve ever read; I love the characters, the world building, the magic. The intrigue and secrets. Nahri is my queen and Ali is my son, I adore them

“Picnic At Hanging Rock” is also one of my favourites. I love a good mystery! The story focuses more on the people left behind to deal with the disappearance of the girls, rather than the girls themselves, and I found that so interesting. There’s enough hints at supernatural forces but also normal explanations to keep you guessing

I admittedly read the “Song of Ice and Fire” series for Daenerys 😂 I have pretty much given up hope on the next book ever happening at this point 🤷‍♀️

I also love the “Furyborn” trilogy. It’s vividly written, I love the magic system and different kingdoms and I’m a sucker for a “fall from grace” arc. However, I wasn’t crazy about the ending of the series. Loved the buildup and adored the first book in particular

i’m sorry but the grisha trilogy is just superior to everything that came after including the soc duology. grisha power not being magic but small science was so beautiful. genya being the only and unique tailor and her powers as a tailor not being magic powers of changing appearance was so beautiful. too bad leigh later forgot everything that she wrote in those first three books because they were so beautiful

#it's a bit like how grrm started writing a song of ice and fire with this one idea in his mind and then later because so in love with the #targaryens that he doesn't even get that making them all into some extra special godlike characters actually goes against what he set up in #the asoiaf books #not to compare asoiaf and the grisha trilogy #but i'm rereading shadow and bone now and i have so many thoughts #the grisha trilogy #grishaverse
