welcome to my twisted mind

hannah / midwest / 26 sideblog for me to document my asoiaf journey currently reading: a game of thrones

[theladyofthetower]

hi i’m hannah and this is my blog for documenting my asoiaf first read

my gf has wanted me to read them for a long time and i thought it would be fun to post my thoughts and feelings as i read. especially because i have a really bad memory and i have a feeling having records and reference points will be helpful with this series

things to know about me as a reader

high fantasy is not really my thing, though it used to be! i normally read contemporary fiction, psychological thrillers, and literary fiction, am usually open to most things

i have read the first book once, when i was a teenager. still gonna reread it because i literally don’t remember anything

i have seen house of the dragon and most of my asoiaf knowledge is from my friends filling in plot details as we watched that

painfully bad memory

tagging my thoughts by book (book 1) and maybe by character if i feel like picking any of them apart

thanks for being here

two and a half hours into the first audiobook, brain dump with spoilers under the cut

fuck viserys all my friends hate viserys etc etc

the starks are metal as fuck. “a ruler who hides behind paid executioners soon forgets what death is” i understand why my dad likes them so much

tyrion doing backflips yeah that’s rocks

i am obsessed with the tragedy of the starks :( i know ned dies, so hearing him say things like “my father left the north at a king’s behest and he never came back” is sooo heartbreaking

and the OMEN the antler to the throat like NED OPEN YOUR EYES i feel like lottie matthews

and catelyn begging to keep bran, her little boy who likes to climb walls i’m going to cry

no one told me this would be so sad can i just have some time with the starks and their puppies first
