So, I've been MIA and I am totes sorry! I'm blaming it on my
obsession with A Song of Ice and Fire (the book series that Game of Thrones on
HBO comes from just in case you didn't know. Which you better have!) I just
finished book 2 and am about to delve into book 3, but I had to come up for air
to see if anyone on my corner of the internet is as into this story as I am.
I'm dying to dissect and discuss it. I even gave book 1 to my 12 (almost 13!)
year old sister to read so I'd have someone to talk about it with.
When I told my
mom I gave it to her and that it is wildly inappropriate (I had to explain
incest when I gave it to her to dodge the question later) at worst and
questionable (she asked "Is there, like, lots of killing?"(she was
pretty stoked about that part)) at best all she had to say was "she'll
never read it because it's so long." C'mon, Lindz, prove her wrong! My dad
though got all indignant asking WHY I was trying to get her to read an
inappropriate book and I answered honestly that it has a myriad of strong
female characters and I thought she could use some positive female role models
(no matter how fictional). The TV show is of course just retardedly wrong
because HBO is like "fuck you guys, we're HBO. We'll put girl on girl
action that in no way furthers the plot in here all we want."
Anyway! The
point of this post was to play Marry, Boff, Kill with the characters of ASOIF.
I'm gonna need to do a few 3 person scenarios (there are a LOT
of characters or all I think about while reading intense prose is the bang-ability of these fictional characters...mostly that last part) but I'll try to do them in categories because I'm OCD like that:

Marry

Boff

If you've read the books or watched the show, play the game! I've only read the first 2 books so if someone is going to do something to change their standing on my fancy chart I'm not aware of it yet so no spoilers! I mean, except the people who are already dicks, like Theon. I'm just kinda into that in the right context I suppose. Oh! and the Hound, I think he's not as bad of a guy as he seems...see? I need to trade opinions on this stuff!
I don't know anyone who has read the series, but know plenty of people who love the show. I am too cheap for HBO.
ReplyDeleteI saw the first episode and was all WHAT. and never watched again. But, I do have all the books on standby. I want to read them, but I feel like it's a project you have to sike yourself up for. Breathing exercises, or something. I'm not ready yet.
