Yeah the Hobbit was the first book I ever read, at six years old, lucky me I became a lifetime nerd

"Then write a children's book in it."

That is exactly why Stephen Colbert, king of LOTR trivia, does not like The Hobbit.

Didn't he write the Hobbit first and then everything else around it?

Jorge Luis Borges: why write the book when you can write a review of the book like it exists already.

And people wonder why I have no respect for George R R Martin. Why I have no respect for JK rowling, destroyer of her Legacy is self-evident at this point

GRRM is great at giving input and following the formula, as evidenced by Elden Ring. Not so much with creating an enormous, generational body of work.

I'm struggling to think of anything lore wise in gambo thrones that wasn't a real event in English history, or at the very least a popular belief / self worshipping mythology

Even as a high schooler I remember thinking a few hundred pages in, wait. Wait.. is this the war of the fucking roses

I can never decide which is funnier to me, GRRM being a Disney screenwriter in their children's animation division or the fact he abandoned the song of ice and fire entirely and now exclusively adds to an absolute trash universe he created about removed racist cajun vampires with alcoholism and gambling that makes Twilight look like Pride and Prejudice
