reading asoiaf is really a magical experience bc you get to explore new lands and meet fascinating characters and build complex theories based on the sociopolitical landscape of the book and you also get to know, and this is important, you get to know like twenty-seven of grrm's kinks

I think ASOIAF asks the question of whether or not free will exists at all if we can prophesize the future. Jojen believes that the future can't be changed at all, so where does he fall in the debate of free will? Does he think everyone is a slave to fate? On the other end of the spectrum is Melisandre, who believes that the future can be changed (else what's the point of visions) ... and that's so fitting because she used to be a slave. So of course she believes in free will by contrast.

i learned about Tim Wong who successfully and singlehandedly repopulated the rare California Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly in San Francisco. In the past few years, he’s cultivated more than 200 pipevine plants (their only food source) and gives thousands of caterpillars to his local Botanical Garden (x)
