Description This had to be done quickly before the TV adaptation of "Game of Thrones" starts in a few days and everybody's perception of the characters will forever be influenced by how the actors look.

So, George R.R. Martin's classic fantasy saga "A Song of Ice and Fire". A series of books which I unfortunately cannot like whole-heartedly, because despite a thrilling, meticulously crafted plot and scores of intriguing characters, there are too many things I have serious issues with - most of all the unnecessarily graphic violence and pointless gratitious sex scenes (I know, it's the convention in the genre of classic/high fantasy, which is exactly why I usually stick to urban fantasy, but still!)

However, I enjoy the fandom a lot and there are a few characters I really care about and want to know how their stories end, so I'll keep reading~. It's only three more books, however at the pace they're being published, I'm not sure I'll be able to read the last one before retirement XDD

Anyways, meme comments:

1) Recced to me by my dear friend ~Yvyne

2) Although they sometimes annoy the hell out of me, especially when they start wallowing in selfpity (Except for Podric, he never does that. He's the single most likeable character in all the books!! <3)

3) Despite my totally missing that when I read the book, only the fandom made me realise. What's wrong with my gay-dar lately??

4) Still keeping my fingers crossed!

5) Horrible, horrible people. And yes I know the dragon in the wrong colour, but pfffff~

6) + 7) XD I have no theories.

8) Maybe not my favourite scene, but never in a hundred years would I have expected that to happen! I was convinced that horrible brat would keep terrorising everyone for at least another book!! So it was a very pleasant surprise we got rid of him so suddenly...

9) I'd rather nor be a human of the female persuasion in Westeros, thank you very much all the same

10) There's too much killing going on in these books already, so let's just send all the horrible people far, far away...

11) Definitely. =_=;

12) Your poor liver! XDDD


Hee, memes are fun. And keep you from slipping into another artist's block. Which one to do next...?

'Tis the best scene of all the books so far, fact.

Oh but please don't try the drinking game, I don't want to be responsible for your ruining your poor liver...!! Q___Q

Yay, Sam. He's adorable. Bit annoying when he's always putting himself down though.

I hope that Arya and Nymeria team up again. I get the feeling the wolf pack that's running around crazy (and is presumably led by Nymeria), is getting steadily more wild and blood-thirsty because Arya is too.

And forget Lord of Winterfell, Hodor should be king of all Westeros! No one would have silly wars then, and the game of thrones would become so much simpler, lol.

Tak, to seria powiesci autorstwa George R.R. Martin'a - ale bardziej niz ksiazki polecam serial TV (leci akurat na amerykanskim HBO, wiec moze niedlugo tez na polskim?), moim zdaniem jest lepszy niz oryginalna ksiazka! XD

Znowu dziekuje pienie za feedback~

That drinking game...

Yeah, I'll be shnookered before I get past a hundred pages.

There should be a drinking game for the TV show.

I like your drawing style! Very cute pictures.

Also, a(nother) person who counts Sam, Brienne AND Pod among their favorite characters? This makes me very happy.

Lastly, for some reason I really like your drawing of Hodor. x3

akabeko In reply to nightmarekitty [2011-05-02 08:41:52 +0000 UTC]

Oh Hodor is a great character - just like Pod, he hasn't done anything yet that made me want to strangle him (Brienne, Jon and the others have, but I still like them )

Are you watching the TV adaptation, btw.? It's really good so far, isn't it?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

nightmarekitty In reply to akabeko [2011-05-03 06:06:14 +0000 UTC]

Awww. Yeah, Hodor is good. He, Pod and Tommen can hang out together being completely inoffensive and nice and awesome together. But as for the other people on their list - a few of them have done a lot of facepalm-y things, but hardly strangle-worthy, in my opinion. Especially by A Song of Ice and Fire standards. >> <<

...Also, I don't know how I managed to forget this first time around, but your drawing of Samwell is adorable by virtue of how awkward he looks.

As for the show, I have been watching it, and very much enjoying it so far (minus the copious amounts of rape in the Dothraki plotline...). Last ep was especially fun (the Arya and Syrio Forel scene was the best part, and a good place to end), and I can't wait for next week's episode.

oh, I don't know this book (books?).So are they worth reading?
And panel 3 made me laugh sooo hard xD

akabeko In reply to Aakami [2011-04-16 15:59:30 +0000 UTC]

Yes, it's a shame - my gay-dar seems to be malfunctioning lately, I totally didn't get the hints that those guys are a couple at all. Shame on me!

Werrrll, the question "are they worth reading?" is a bit hard for me to answer... I'd say "Yes, but", and the but is: "Like most high/classic fantasy novels there's too much sexism and pointless violence." I have issues with that so cannot enjoy the books wholeheartedly (the same is true for SPN, by the way!) but if you don't mind that, you might enjoy them a lot - the plot itself is wonderfully intelligent and complex!

Aakami In reply to akabeko [2011-04-16 16:48:42 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I do not mind violence in fantasy, for me some violence is always good I do not like gore, but the old, good, beat-up-some-of-these-evil-sons-of-bitches-winchester-style is always good :] WHat bothers me usually in the fantasy, is that they usually are very plain and with NO second level AT ALL. But if you say it's intelligent, I might give it a try... Who's the author?

akabeko In reply to Aakami [2011-04-16 20:15:49 +0000 UTC]

The author is George R.R. Martin - but you know what, the first book, "Game of Thrones", is going to start airing on TV in a few days, maybe watch this first and see how you like it. Judging from the trailers, it's going to be good - and has a great cast, too!

Aakami In reply to akabeko [2011-04-17 09:25:12 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I will give it a try then, after finishing this pile of books I have on my uhm, desk-thing in room xD And I am more into reading I guess, than watching... But maybe I will give it a look too, we'll see. The series will be called the same way? "Game of thrones"?

How are you btw?

Ooooh, "A Song of Ice and Fire".... davon hab ich ja auch seit Ewigkeiten Band 1 im Regal stehen (mit diesen schlimmen, vergilbten, dünnen Ami-Taschenbuchpapier >_>)
Bin nie über Seite 20 hinausgekommen. Aber iiiiiiirgendwann les ichs auch mal fertig.
Das Meme ist echt lustig! Auch wenn ich den Großteil wie immer nicht check. XD

Ich weiß, ich hab ja eigentlich zuallererst von dir von den Büchern gehört, und als dann Yvy so begeistert davon war, hab ich mich dran erinnert, dass du mal darüber geredet hast und mir gedacht, ok, wenn das zwei meiner Freunde kennen und mögen, muss ich unbedingt reinlesen.

(und von der Handlung her ist es ja auch extrem spannend und wunderbar komplex durchgeplant - und zumindest für mich völlig unvorhersehbar! Da kann's passieren, dass ein Chara, von den du überzeugt bist, der wird noch ur wichtig, auf der nächsten Seite stirbt, ohne großes Trara, einfach zack und weg! O__o Das ist eins der Dinge, die mir sehr dran gefallen... was mir nicht gefällt ist wie gesagt das ganze (unnötige) Rumgemeuchel und Rumgeschnacksel, aber das is halt die Konvention in den Genre...

Auf jeden Fall, wenn du's dann mal liest (bzw. dir die Verfilmung anguckst), erzähl mir, wie du's gefunden hast, ok?? *__*

Braiiiiins! 8D Perfectly accurate depiction of Madame Zombie!

I kind of feel guilty of completely forgetting about poor Gendry and Arya! O_O I do hope they get a chance...

And lots of love @Joffrey's death!! That scene was really, REALLY wonderful! And I love how you drew the Queen of Thorns! x)))
Also - Renly x Loras = <3333333

But the drinking game would have people poisoned!! XDDD

akabeko In reply to Yvyne [2011-04-13 19:09:36 +0000 UTC]

It would, wouldn't it? XD But GRRM really overused those, especially the Bear song

I completely forgot about Asha and Meera... argh, there's just too many characters, you can't keep track of them all!! \@_@;/

Looking forward to watching the TV series with you guys!!

Ok, a teraz finałowe pytanie. Co polecasz bardziej: Grę o Tron, czy Dobry Omen xD? Bo skończyłam właśnie serie Davida Huntera i jeszcze nie dokonałam kolejnego zakupu, a zdajesz się być osobą, która naprawdę wie co czyta >D A ja mam ochotę dla odmiany na coś przyjemnego xD

PS. Powinnaś częściej mieszać parę kolorów - świetnie Ci to wychodzi - np. przy tym wilku :'D I podziwiam, że tyle tych meme robisz i to jeszcze tak równo i ładnie x]

akabeko In reply to hachko [2011-04-13 10:33:38 +0000 UTC]

Oj, jesli masz ochote na cos przyjemnego (smiesznego, optymistycznego, filozoficznego), to absolutnie polecam Dobry Omen!!
"Gra o Tron" jest czesciowo okropnie deprymujaca, w kólko sie cala banda tylko morduje nawzajem, ech...

Uh, i dziekuje za komplement!! >///< Kolorowanie mi niestety najmniej idzie, powinnam wiecej cwiczyc, ale wiesz jak to jest...

O, to zdecydowanie biorę się za Dobry Omen :'D Się już długo przybierałam, a Twoja reklama też zrobiła swoje xD Do Gry o Tron mam sentyment z racji planszówki, uznałam, że wypadałoby przeczytać x] Ale zdecydowanie wolę teraz coś odprężającego :3

Nie marudź, masz świetne te kolorowanie :'D Takie lekkie, zgrabne i przyjemne dla oka :3
