Facts.

Speculation time my beloveds!!

What do you believe George has in mind for The Winds of Winter, more specifically what will be different to change it up from the show? I'll go first:

In true penultimate episode fashion, the Winds of Winter will be where everything goes horribly wrong for our heroes, bringing about the narrative Darkest Hour:

Jon is resurrected as a wight, maybe even a super wight Night King with the kiss of a (PLOT TWIST!) female Other, to lay waste to the Night's Watch and weaken if further to the invasion of winter

Bran loses himself entirely as an individual, Bloodraven taking control for nefarious purposes as the chief intelligence of the Old God's hive mind

Arya will be torn between her desire for home and the relative safety of the House of Black and White, getting herself grievously wounded and ill after her disastrous fight to escape Braavos because her heart won't truly be in it.

Davos will come within an *inch* of getting Rickon home from Skagos, only to watch the boy painfully die in his arms

In a fit of desperation, Melisandre will burn Shireen as a sacrifice, and they lose anyways

Stannis will live just long enough to hear that all he did and said was utterly worthless, and will die an equally worthless death

Lady Stoneheart and the Brotherhood are gonna kill *somebody* who doesn't truly deserve it with Jaime watching

House Tyrell will perish by wildfire in the Great Sept of Baelor, destroying a huge portion of Westeros's order all for the sake of Cersei's mad and petty ambitions and vengeance

Tyrion's wretched demon luck will carry him all the way on the Golden Company's back to lay waste to the Seven Kingdoms on a check those empty mines can't cash, and will somehow escape cackling all the while as he finds some court to hide in while the whole continent goes up in flames

Only Sansa will escape relatively unscathed, working her way into the hearts and loyalty of the Vale houses with or without Littlefinger's help, and she will lead the charge to retake her home in A Dream of Spring

Yes, I know I am very very evil. Give me your counterpoints on what *you* think will happen.

This so wholesome.~

There needs to be... More wholesome Schneebling headcanons!!

Every Schnee child has their own favorite drink. weiss LOVES hot cocoa with marshmallows,

winter drinks 5 cups of black coffee a day (she says it's black coffee but she secret adds 10 packs of sugar when nobodys looking),

whitley is convinced that tea solves all issues (depressed?? Drink tea. Heartbroken?? Drink tea. Your family is falling apart?? Drink tea).

winter used to dote so hard on whitley when he was still a small child. If Toddler Whitley is not within her line of sight for 5 seconds then he must have fallen of a ledge or smthn. Cue 12 year old winter freaking out because ohmygodwhitleyisgonewhereishe and willow just silently smiling

If Toddler Whitley wanted you to carry him, you had to. Even Jacques. He didn't take no for an answer.

Everyday willow would take the schneeblings out to her garden to eat lunch. Picnic blanket and everything.

Willow would pick flowers out of her garden and teach them how to make flower crowns. Winter saw it as a waste of time but she took part in it because she saw how much Weiss and Whitley loved it.

All the schneeblings spent at most the first 5 years of their life not able to fall asleep without hugging one of willow's summons like a teddy bear.

While weiss did ballet, winter did gymnastics before running away to atlas academy (at some point she was the 4th consecutive atlas wide gymnastics champion baybe!!), and whitley did (and still does) figure skating. They're all just very very talented.

None of them have ever really been a relationship, but all three of them secretly hope that one day they'll fall in love with someone

They've all had crushes in the past, but winter is the most mature about it because pRoFeSsIonAlisM while weiss just tends to be very tsundere but caring. Whitley is just a blushing disaster.

whitley snorts when he laughs, which is a major insecurity of his, so winter and weiss make it a point to never bring attention to it (even in the present time). Willow always tells him that it's cute, but he never believed her. Jacques says that he sounds like a pig. Sorry I had to do it.

None of them have a knack for art. The best any of them can do are stick figures.

Willow had a different way of showing affect for each of her children when they were still young. She would give winter an exaggerated smooch on the cheek to embarrass her, weiss a small soft peck on the forehead, and whitley multiple tiny kisses on his nose.

Winter actually insisted on teaching whitley some self defense and he hesitantly let her teach him a few things. And no, this wasn't just an excuse for winter to flip him over her shoulder a few times

Weiss got involved too but Whitely quit when they started to complete in how long either of them could hold up Whitley the longest bridal style

Given how isolated they were, they only has each other for the longest time... meaning that all of them have some very very embarrassing stories about each other.

Please please feel free to add more!!!!! We all need some Schneebling wholesomeness before it goes down for real ಥ‿ಥ

She's crying her best

She’s really Going Through It™

Ozpin: "Did you tell her to try working the shaft?

Oscar: "Yes, Professor."

Ozpin: "Good work."

Oscar “Tech Support” Pine. Alternatively…

Can we please talk about Robert Pattison’s range for a moment because it’s crazy 😦

Genuine question from someone who has only read "Thrones" and the first handful of chapters in "Clash of Kings": has Arya shown *any* interest whatsoever in ruling? I thought her main personal theme was about freedom and identity, and her slipping into chaining herself to vengeance and letting her anger twist her runs counter to both, stealing her freedom and identity away, and thus must be overcome.

If that is indeed the case, then how can folks say they are Arya fans while ignoring her central, series wide arc?

Ok this is very random but it has being bothering me for a while. The stans use the “you’ll marry a king” line as foreshadowing for Queen @rya but even if it were...here’s the thing: when you marry a king you are a queen consort. No power, you are only there to provide heirs and your standing hangs on your husband’s will. Ask Anne Boleyn how much her position as Queen protected her once her husband got tired of her. Heck, even in universe we see poor Ellia completely vulnerable once Rathgar humiliated her in public.

Married to a king would put @rya in a similar position to Ellia Martell or Cersei. The only power Cersei has right now hangs by the thread of Tommen’s life. Her kingdom is falling apart already and when he dies she will fall like a house of cards. Wives of kings do not rule on their own.

Sansa on the other hand will rule on her own right as the oldest sister of King Robb, the last King in the North. Her position as Queen does not depend on any man, her power comes from her Stark name and not a marriage, therefore she can marry -or not- freely.

So, you know, that foreshadowing is not exactly what they think it is.

> not exactly what they think it is.

Arya fandom in a nutshell.

Let em know @minitafan! Bravo.

That fandom forever clinging to that passage is the most hilarious thing I’ve ever seen. Can you imagine how hard they have to work to look past her father talking about one of his children sailing the Sunset Sea sentences before? That has to be a struggle, I don’t envy them.

Sailor Moon is going to sail the ocean blue, and they can die mad about it.

[I don't have an issue with Cecil's dumb hubris nearly as much as I do with the fact that in the Invincible universe, not only can you survive after your head's been shattered into a literal pile of goo, but you can still talk to request medical assistance]

I just chalk that up to Viltrumite's having a slightly slower version of Wolverine's healing factor and call it a day... 😅

I like to think Conquest always whispers his darkest secrets to people he's about to kill because he has nobody to chat with. "I love rainy days, fluffy kitties, and double rainbows. Take that to your grave." *CRUNCH*

I don't have an issue with the believability of Cecil's dumb hubris nearly as much as I do with the fact that in the Invincible universe, not only can you survive after your head's been shattered into a literal pile of goo, but you can also still talk to request medical assistance.

Well spoken sir/ma'am.

"You came out whiter!"; Racism and the Walkerton twins

As the only girl who was of mixed ethnicities on her white mother’s side of the family, and who had up until now been forced to largely ignore any other side of her, the story of Sal Walkerton (and the drama from the internet) strikes home. So many people are saying “How can Walky be ‘whiter, they’re twins!” and it’s just… a little offensive to be honest, because it’s suggesting that racial traits have no bearing on racism, just skin color. That two people who look alike wouldn’t be treated differently if one acted differently than the other. Even worse, people are using their last line of defense and saying, “Well how can they be racist to their own children, they’re their parents”, which just erases the concept of parental-child abuse.

Because people are being… either ignorant, or oblivious when it comes to subtle plot hinting, here some of the moments where it’s been made pretty clear that Walky has at least considered himself different than Sal in terms of the whole race issue. I actually dug into the archives SPECIFICALLY because people keep saying “it was never made apparent,” or that Sal was just making a low jab to get at Walky. And, well… I found even more evidence than what I originally remembered going into it.

It starts to become noticeable around a year ago:
