Gandalf: I have to leave, but if you all follow this paved road through Mirkwood, you should be fine. This is a very simple trip, I’ll see you in a few days.
*a few days later*
Thorin: please, Elf King, we fucked up so badly.
but what if hbo showrunners have once again cracked their heads on a pavement and made a script stripped of all major themes of grrm stories, what if another dumb and dumber's "themes are for eight-grade book reports" happens, what if we get spectacle over story-telling, what if there is no weight put down on differences between social classes and struggle of the peasantry, what if there is no sunset-funeral and sunrise-adoption, what if there is no naAAaaaa tssssyyybeeeenia theme of lion king circle of life, what if they ONCE AGAIN remove the can we change our fate, can we choose our actions or are we just puppets of 'gods' and 'prophecies', what if there is no insecurity from duncan about being poor, what if there is no hint that he is a former victim of child-rape, what if they once again fuck up the hair color for 90% of the characters, what if i have to kill myself tomorrow

The love I have for Dunk and Egg vs my lack of faith for any A Song Of Ice and Fire HBO adaptation at this point.
on the one hand people are saying that they've put every scene from the books in the show
on the other they've apparently added a LOT of their own bullshit fanfiction writing
#nuance is something HBO doesn't understand and unfortunately grrm writing is all about nuance#in a way of 'blink twice and you'll miss it'#did they understand that dunkan used to work in a brothel?#i doubt it#and instead they keep adding the weirdest shit that never took place in the text#im still hunted by daemon killing rhea in hotd because Condal's reading comprehension told him it was suspicious#even though it made NO SENSE and turned daemon into a teleporting time-bending psycho

i like how writing realistic worlds and characters is so important for so many writers to the point where they agonize over it. meanwhile lemony snicket was just like “death to reality. im gonna write this whole ass series and with god as my witness, absolutely fucking NOBODY is gonna act like a person.”
Daniel Handler, after downing whatever the hell he was on: The baby has piranha teeth and can take a trained swordswoman in a fight.
All of us: Fucking genius.
