This Creature is Lore

I thought this was pretty funny.  I'm not sure how funny it is if you haven't read Neil Gaiman's reply to a fan complaining about GRRM's legendary "glacial" writing.

The "Write Like the Wind" song itself?  I get why it's amusing to people waiting on the next book (I suppose I'm among them now).  I'd probably get it more if I'd been reading the series since '98 like some people have.  I also get why it's really kind of annoying in that it reflects that entitled attitude.  It's not exactly easy to write a hugeass saga, especially with millions of people twiddling their thumbs and complaining if they see you doing anything that's not working on the novels.

Awesome bombast.

They did one for Rains of Castamere too.

I've been thinking for a while that Petyr Baelish sounds a lot like "my" Mairon would sound (not looks like, mind, he could hardly look more dissimilar).  Beginning to rewatch season 2 of Game of Thrones just kind of confirmed that via a scene where Baelish is being particularly manipulative with a crying employee.  Yeah, that's definitely the timbre and inflection of Huinarium!Mairon.  =D

Scene in question starts ~3:!0.  It's GoT so this should probably go without saying, but the below video contains dark subject matter, graphic nudity & c.  And obviously spoilers for those who haven't seen S2 and are concerned with such.

I'm inordinately pleased with myself for drawing something that's not Tolkien even though I messed his left eye up.
