i know those books

I would like to kiss your lips. They look so natural, full! ☺️🤗

Your knowledge,qualifications and work is fascinating. Building your The Citadel library is starting wonderfully. I imagine professor Tolkien corresponding with and talking with CS Lewis discussing works and forging the pop culture world as we know it, creating 'deplorable fans' like Melkor the orcs. Ive mentioned the worldwide conglomerate named after the Brazillian river, I do love the extended edition as Galadriel gives all the Fellowship gifts, Merry and Pippin dive on an Uruk using their daggers of the Noldorim. We could probably see a grumpy lordling with towers on his surcoat throwing his hobby horse in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

I absolutely adore your voice and energy. All your videos are amazing! This haul is for the fantasy girls that get it! ❤

You should 100% get started on Irish mythology one day.. Hope you like Steve Attewell's book, He was a giant in the fandom and had a great understanding of the series imo.

Gotta find a signed copy of Dante’s inferno

I've never been more glued to a book than I was to A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

Asoiaf 🔥👍

I always forget Argilac was Durrandon and the Baratheon's usurped their arms and words. That Harren wasnt Harren Black, but Harren Hoare. Is book Greyjoy Gold and Black heraldry more legitimate than the legitimised Baratheon Loved how they had Aegon try the armour of his name sake, like Elendil in RIngs of Power and Aragorn looking more like him than his own son. Always kinda afraid of fandoms, our great Vader died and the fandom wars are waging, atleast there was a brief armistice.

Aegon's Conquest is the show along with Robert's Rebellion that I'd love to see! The Hedge Knight was also but that's now in the making so 😁Hope you're keeping well, Caoili 💚💚

Aegon's conquest is kind of presented as a glorious event, when in reality it costs him the thing he loves most. If the show can toe the line between the showcasing the myth and not lose the human tragedy it should work. The conquest itself isn't written with as many deliberately conflicting sources as the stuff House of the Dragon is based on, so it should just be prone to standard maester biases like being against anything potentially magical in nature. Visenya for example might have more layers to her than presented in the text as the maesters would naturally want to show anyone who dabbles in the magical in a poor light. Could be fun.

6:20-6:28 what did you say there? I didn't understand a word of it.

Lady Death in the background, I love this comic.

Great video! Color balance is very blue though it makes me feel cold just looking at it

It likely was an email but they aren’t listening to him and he’s been complaining about the same shit for 10 years

If he doesnt want drastic changes in his work, he should put in a clause for final approval of the scripts when he sells the rights. Of course it would be more difficult to sell and probably for less money and he would have to do more work reading all the scripts and working to get them right. Easier to sell one work and then move on to sell the next and the next while raking in the bucks and procrastinating on finishing ASOIAF.

The episode cuts were over HBO's head.

You looklike Shiera Seastar imo

How has hbo not learned thier lesson?? The last few seasons of GOT shouldve been more than enough. Its hard being a fan these days

Hes mostly upset because they bungled the blood and cheese plot, didnt introduce Maelor into the story whose crucial to the rioting in Kings Landing plot. If Rhaenyra is to return to Dragon Stone, we need both of those plot lines to work but now it doesnt seem they can🤷‍♂️

I turned this show off after episode 6 or so first season. It's trash.

This is some really high tier unintentional asmr

Awesome video it was really interesting i hadn’t read the books so i was unaware of the changes they made its sad to see the show runners aren’t letting them make the show this series deserves

I don’t get the people saying he should have gone to Ryan personally to discuss the problems he was having, George literally says he DID go to Ryan about his concerns privately but Ryan then lied to George about having Maelor in the show seemingly to placate him.

Yeah this chick is crazy😂

Real life Targaryen right here

I think you have it right about his input into season 1 vs season 2. I assume they do not want to wander off script too far though. Look what happened when they jumped ahead in GoT without source material. So my guess would be they would try and include George as much as possible this time. Off topic, but look what happens when you go off track with source material with the rings of power for example. They are lucky to have a series with a live author and should definitely listen to him.

You should eat some food. Can't live of crack alone

Gosh, where did you come from? Don’t be shy with your accent that just makes you more appealing Damn those eyes are perfect (I’m straight but can’t help but be poetic so I’ll quit while I’m behind) 😘

Blood and Fire is not told from multiple point of view characters like ASoIaF is, it's like a fake history book, told from various historic sources with the author of the history book serving as a narrator. An example is each source has a different version of what happens to Beesbury, so its uncertain what exactly happened to him in the book. One of these sources is a fool called Mushroom and their version of events is generally the most sensational. A big part of adapting the show is deciding which of these conflicting versions of what happened to use and pretty much nothing in the show has gone down how Mushroom told it so expecting Blood and Cheese to be any different baffles me. If you really think about it Mushroom not being in the show would mean that his testimony is all bullshit anyway in the shows version of the story.

Her eyes are so mesmerising, I cannot concentrate.

Just speculation on my part - I think part of the reason we never hear him talk trash about DnD imo is simple guilt - it's because he told DnD he would be with done the series by the time the show caught up with the books, he promised them, and he didn't deliver. He gave them an almost impossible task and he knows it. So the only thing you hear him critique about DnD is that they rushed to the end, he wanted more seasons etc. So just ranting here, but what upsets Martin and what upsets me as a reader are so different it's wild. My biggest criticism of the show: I think the show-writers struggle to write the team-green storyline, and Alicent in particular, because they cannot understand the point of view of people who think this way, George doesn't have this issue, he can write from perspectives he may not share personally. Catelyn Stark is 100% cool with the patriarchy of Westros and literally thinks her duty to make as many babies as she can, and she's fine with arranging marriages for her daughters etc "Family, duty, honor" - She's not dumb, it's just all she knows, and it's been brainwashed into her since she was a kid. Compare this too Alicent in this show, I feel like the writers are just trying to humiliate the character, in a way that was never done with Catelyn Stark who is ideologically very similar to Alicent. In the books Alicent leads the defense of a city, she is the chief negotiator for the Green's at key turning points, is involved in every council decision, and wields significant power and influence, truly the daughter of Otto Hightower and a player in the game of thrones, in the show she is not these things, and it's only Olivia Cooke that saves the character imo. - This, to me, is a bigger problem going forward than "blood and cheese" could've been more powerful, and Maelor plot-points needing to a re-write. Mostly I'm pissed I gotta wait 2 years to see what's next..that's unacceptable, changes in adaptions I can except but this... no. I don't like it and you can't make me.

In regards to why he’s speaking up about his grimes with HOTD but not GOT. I think if George chose to publicly air his concerns and criticisms about GOT either during its run or after it ended, people would have just dismissed him. Saying that it’s his own fault for not finishing the books so that D&D had material to work off of, or giving them a proper outline for how the story would end. This situation however, is different. HOTD is a finished story, with source material at the writers disposal. Sure, it might be a bit difficult to adapt than a novel, but it’s still a great template to use, despite this, the writers choose to make big changes where they’re not really needed for whatever reason. This might be why George feel more confident and willing to state his opinions this time around

with regards to b&c and helaena offering up the necklace- i do agree that obviously it’s silly to offer up a necklace in the face of your son getting murdered so i did hate it at first. however the sequence became much more compelling for me on rewatch bc i did notice in the “im scared of the rats” scene she looked directly at the spot where J gets murdered. So i do think she might have had some sort of premonition beforehand, but i don’t think she knew what it was about. i think as the scene unfolds, she begins to realize what that vision was foretelling, and how fruitless she is to stop it. in that regard, i think her offering up her necklace works, because it’s a desperate, futile move on her part to at least try and stop it, even though she knows it won’t work. Watching that scene where she points to ‘the boy’ with that hauntingly horrified & petrified look on her face just feels so much more devastating with that knowledge. I do think that it’s what the writers were going for as well, esp with the directional choices to focus on helaena’s eyes, her pointer finger and her premature sewing of her son’s funeral shroud (in the beginning of the episode). and ryan did mention something about how helaena is becoming more aware of her visions and starting to realize how they relate to the events happening around her, which i think does make sense if you think of b&c as the catalyst for that awakening. this also makes me digest her scenes in the later season a lot better because they did feel a little too on the nose for me lol. at this point i just really need some inferiority from helaena, and i think it’s a shame they didn’t use this season to explore that further but hopefully we get some payoff of her cassandra arc in season 3.

Season 2 is complete awful, yo can said never "Good season" sond so stupid

It's quite amazing how a scene from one episode of HOTD has spawned this huge drama between George, HBO, the showrunners, fans.. Not even season 8 got this kind of response & as far as I'm aware we still don't even know George's thoughts on the ending to Thrones? Probably would've been another deleted blog post ha. I'd love to know why the show has budget problems though.. unless HBO are just being tight sods, the follow-up to their most lucrative show ever should be given all the money it needs to do it as best as you can. This isn't like the season 1 budget Thrones had, at that point no one knew it would become a phenomenon. And you're right they lopped off 2 episodes & still had budget problems? really? That don't sound good. "millions of fans the series has amassed over the first two seasons will continue to enjoy it" as said by HBO.. season 2 has also been increasingly divisive for a lot of the fans, the way it ended, Daemon spending 6 episodes in Luigi's mansion, the changes to Alicent's character.. I personally enjoyed the season but the negative feelings from people are undeniable. Ultimately if this kind of treatment of his work continues I could see George ending the relationship with them, whether that means it could go elsewhere or he would just not allow adaptations to happen. anw brilliant video, Caoili you hit the nail on every head perfectly 💚💚

Don't listen to it. Crows are all liars. I know a story about a crow. I hate your stories. I know a story about a boy who hated stories. I could tell you about sir dunken the tall. Those were always your favorites.

I just discovered your channel and ur videos are so enjoyable, keep making them 🤗🤗

The main thing I'd love for them to focus on next season is emphasizing the duality of the characters. Not really a big fan of Aemond being painted as the main antagonist. Also, the blacks being portrayed as the good side is so off lol. I haven't read ahead but I assume Daeomond will be making up for his lack of war crimes etc to even things out?
