The worst of both worlds is George RR Martin retains his same pace of production, but adopts Stephen Kings depravity and his books are entirely s*x scenes, but gross and of usual George RR Martin quality

The question is whether being morbidly obese is worse than the side effects. It's probably worth it until you hit a bmi in the high 20s.

Every time you complain he'll agree to another project writing """lore""" for mediocre videogames and cartoons.

Let's be real, he just doesn't enjoy writing this book anymore. It's too stressful (too many characters and storylines), plus the pressure is so high, disappointment is virtually guaranteed. At the same time GRRM is too proud to actually admit this to himself. So he leaps at every project around him, while coping about how "WoW is totally coming guys just hold on".

the coolest thing about fromsoft's storytelling is that most of it is so open ended that people even argue over the explicitly stated stuff.
also its about the consequences of when your emo daughter starts killing the good family members off tyvm

"milk of the poppy" was actually a euphemism for semen because of the similarity to a poppy flower bud to an uncircumcised peepee
it's why so many of the men in the show reject being given it, because they'd rather suffer the pain than be remembered for drinking c*m

Also "Aspirin" is a portmanatee of Pirin aka Pyretic an old medical word for fever/pain, and from the brown bear (Ursus asstos) native to Europe, and the compound was originally isolated from the shit of bears hence the combo name BUTT-ANTI-PYRETIC shortened to ASPIRIN

I know people dunk on this quote but dysentery has killed more humans than all wars combined. Before this part, the city she has been ruling over has been suffering from a plague of "bloody flux". At the time of the quote, she is alone in a barren hilly wilderness with a single stream running through it. Is it silly or bad writing to have a character in a medieval setting suffer from medieval illnesses? That's not a rhetorical question. I really don't know if it's possible to write about diarrhea without it being silly even though it will kill you in many circumstances.
Have you ever had a stomach flu? Imagine having no potty, no shelter, and knowing that you are literally going to shit and vomit yourself to death.

The only thing I remember from the fourth book is the

That and the massive amounts of

Agreed. I listened to the first three ASOIAF a decade ago, can't remember anything other than the narrator doing a dodgy Churchill impression for Tywin Lannister's voice. Got bored halfway through the fourth one and gave up.
