i was in high school in 2014 eagerly awaiting GRRM's new year announcement.....i would've passed out if you told me it wouldn't be out still after OVER TEN YEARS

i blame D+D. you should too. i can't even comprehend trying to watch the later seasons of the show: the tone is fucking vile. the tone is fucking le epic twitter bants instead of rich medieval political drama. dumb cunts.

is there even an expectation of it anymore? it feels like the series is just....gone from cultural memory. for obvious reasons.

I got off lucky, I intentionally avoided it while it was airing because the show didn’t appeal to me. It was only a few years ago after hearing that the books were better that I checked it out on a whim and realized the books were much better than the show. So I got into it knowing it might be a perpetually unfinished series, and I’m glad I did. It’s a rich world I’m happy to have immersed myself in.

I hear you on the pain, though. I listen to Alt Shift X and Glidus when I need that part of my brain tickled again.
