Something very curious about the latest GoT episode, on rewatch: In the book, Robb and Cat think that Bran and Rickon are dead (I am also rereading, and just read confirmation of that). I was pretty sure (though I have not gone back and checked) that last season the show also established that Robb and Cat think Bran and Rickon are dead.

So I found it strange that, in this last episode, they discuss the possibility that Bran and Rickon are alive.

From Craigslist:

"In my fantasy, I am Daenerys Stormborn Targaryen, Mother of Dragons, and Rightful Heir to the Iron Throne and the Seven Kingdoms. After crossing the Narrow Sea and defeating the forces of Westeros, it is within my power and right to slay all of those who betrayed my family and denied me my rightful place for so many years. The most vile enemies of house Targaryen, House Stark and House Baratheon must pay the highest price. All of those who fought against the Mother of Dragons are slain—all except one. When I come to Robb Stark, out eyes lock and something moves inside of me. I realize I need to have him, want him, and I can tell he is thinking the same. I order my guards to throw him in the dungeon and later that night, I have him brought to me, in the throne room. There, on the Iron Throne I've so recently won, I make wild and passionate love with him, repeatedly.

Please only respond to this post if you look like Robb Stark! I would appreciate pictures, but please, no names. In order to stay as true to the fantasy as possible, I ONLY want you to refer to yourself as Robb Stark. You will need to provide your own clothing. Please keep in mind that you will have recently participated in a battle and been thrown in a dungeon, so you will not be wearing your nicest furs.

I'm looking for a Stark in the streets but a wildling in the sheets."

Oh my.

Jessica,

I laughed and laughed and am still laughing. Thank you.

This is the part that makes me fall apart each time: so you will not be wearing your nicest furs

Heh. I liked that, too.

I'm looking for a Stark in the streets but a wildling in the sheets.

I've gotta say, this little piece of GoT style Ludacris was what really sent me from chuckling to full on belly laugh. Strangé, Craigslist love-seeker.

If only I looked like Robb Stark, and wasn't maybe a little totally freaked out by that ad.

Also, I think we have to wait at least one more week for the Trial of the Hound (one of my favorite parts of the books).

(The two halves of this post are in no way related).

ALL BLACK AND BROWN AND COVERED IN HAIR!

(I love this song.)

It's a good song.

Since Theon's stuff is in the book I haven't gotten to yet, I'm utterly unspoiled for one chunk of the plot while at the same time having more or less constant "that's not going to end well" thoughts (bye, Jamie's hand). And Hi, Blackfish...

I guess they're going to (book spoilers) compress Sansa's timeline? I can't figure out how they'll hit everything they need to before she leaves King's Landing if Littlefinger is heading out soon. Unless I'm misremembering.
