THINGIES IN MY EYEBALLS:

+ Saw Thor this weekend and I'm in love. I mean, there's stuff I could say about the storytelling and whatnot, but mostly I LOVE THOR. THOR IS A FLUFFY BUNNY. I have such a kink for cuddly superheros with storyarcs that are about being wise and kind and sweet, and also punching stuff. And who kiss Jane's fingers and make ( Read more... )

I did hear Sif/Thor are married! I guess I don't mind much, I'd have to read it and find out. I loved Sif A LOT. Loved her clearly deep friendship with Thor, loved the sense of history between them (I could ship it, like maybe they fooled around as teenagers or something), loved the complete LACK of any sense of rivalry or jealousy towards Jane given Thor's beautiful fluffy feelings for her. Best friendship basically. Best. Would watch a whole sequel about Thor's buds ( ... )

I can't remember if I heard whether or not Cersei gets POV chapters in book 4. I hope so. I agree, the non-POV characters suffer always. I honestly don't care about Robb, haha. And show!Robb...Richard Madden isn't exactly blowing me away with his clenched jaw and steel cage of emotion.

lol god, Theon is such a miserable little shit. I want Asha chapters.

Book 2 has taken me forever to slog through. It really doesn't pick up until the back third of the book imo. Editing is your friend, George. But yeah, that's my problem with a lot of these fantasy series--they're not meant to be historical so putting women through all that hell, and having everything be so white, is unnecessary. Why are the gender norms the way they are? It's uncreative.

I think everything you say about Robb is accurate! But I wish I knew him better as a PERSON. The only thing I know (which I enjoy immensely) is his dynamic with his moms.

Theon is THE WORST. Sorry your life is hard and your sister's better than you dude. Haha speaking of Theon, he is perfectly cast on the show.

I do enjoy the ladies GRRM writes! It's not just exploitative grossness going on in the background, you see how it affects them, you see it through their eyes. But still, bit sick of how often it happens in fantasy/in fiction at large.
