Scholars said the ruins led to another world, as alien to the surfacers as it was forgotten. Technology existed there the likes of which those above couldn’t even begin to fathom, much less replicate. Their tales were fascinating, of course, but nowhere near as intriguing as what the witch women had to say. Allegedly, there […]
Time to Talk About Game of Thrones, I Guess-Part III: The Bells
***This Post May Contain Spoilers! Read At Your Own Risk!!*** I didn’t talk much in the last post about Sansa’s betrayal of Jon’s trust because I’d already watched Episode Five by that point, and I wanted to combine my thoughts on the outcome of that choice, which we get to see immediately in “The Bells”. […]
Time to Talk About Game of Thrones, I Guess…-Part II: The Last of the Starks
***The Following Post May Contain Spoilers! Read at your own Risk!*** I came into Season 8, Episode 4 feeling a little jaded in regards to the Battle of Winterfell, but I don’t think I even realized at the time how jaded I was.

Time to Talk About Game of Thrones, I Guess-Part I: The Battle of Winterfell

Flashy Friday: The Lonely Emperor
One day he would rebuild her, all of her–she whom he lost in order to find himself, but first he needed to remember her face in perfect detail. The tightly pinched lips that once told him: no! don’t! STOP! The wide, terrified eyes that refused to look at him because they saw him, always saw […]
Flashy Friday: The Wrong Kinds of Spirits
The wrong kinds of spirits will make sure she’s never free, trust me on this. They thrive on madness, obsession. Someone in her frame of mind should never have been permitted access, and now… because she’s distanced herself from this realm, drawing her back to us will be damn near impossible. Don’t you see? She […]
Flashy Friday: Til Death Do Us Part
“What part of till death do us part did you not understand, Carmella?”
Flashy Friday: From the Wall
He was supposed to be tutoring the boy, teaching him the fundamentals of rulership and government, about the provinces surrounding his kingdom, and the art of managing the crown’s finances because it was important that a ruler never allow someone else to do all the work. It was how mischief was made, how greedy fools […]
Flashy Friday: Vengeance
He threw her body in the well and thought that was the end of her, of the harm she would have brought him. He would go back to his life, forget his mistake, honor his wife the way he was supposed to. In time, he became an honest man, save for the dark secret he […]
Flashy Friday: Winter is Here
For too long, the song lingered on the wind, a chorus of certainty warning those who never listened: “Winter is coming.” And though the wise never say it, they know what the words really mean: ice in their bones, in their eyes, in their hearts, in their souls. The whole world frosting over as his […]
