I can’t figure why this is so beautiful to me.

Excerpt from an Interview with George R.R. Martin - Rolling Stone, May 24, 2012
RS: Some people criticize the "sexposition" on the show - but your books have plenty of sex. Do you ever take heat for that?
Martin: I get letters about that fairly regularly. It's a uniquely American prudishness. You can write the most detailed, vivid description of an ax entering a skull, and nobody will say a word in protest. But if you write a similarly detailed description of a penis entering a vagina, you get letters from people saying they'll never read you again. What the hell? Penises entering vaginas bring a lot more joy into the world than axes entering skulls.
No. You had sex with a girl when you were a child. It ended in pregnancy. You are attacking the morality of a 14 year old girl who terminated a pregnancy that would have resulted in a child that neither you or her had the capacity to care for. A girl that preserved your and her own youth, and stopped a child being raised in circumstances that are not fit for any child. You really should be assessing your own morality. What kind of 14 year old boy fucks a 14 year old girl, without protection, gets her pregnant and then runs an online smear campaign against her for doing what was best for her, her family and you? What? You think you had the capacity to raise a child at age 14/15? How would you feed it or look after it? You wouldn’t. You were going to dump it on her or your own parents, live like the carefree little shit you are and occasionally play with the child when you could be bothered and think “Wow, what a good, brave young father I am.” You made the mistake, she went through the trauma of saving your youth for you. You owe her so much better than this. You absolutely disgust me. Less than forward-slash three, you’re real fucking remorseful. That’s poetry that is. You’re breaking my heart kid. That girl should have every right to decide what she wants to do to her body. The idea that you should take responsibility and give birth implies that you are responsible to this fetus and you owe it something. A pregnant person does not owe a fetus anything any more than they owe you an apology for being alive. Try again, pro lifers. Pro-Choice.
I applaud this.
^ YESS.
This is some sterling commentary.
This dumbass is also probably assuming the fetus was male. The sex is almost never known when an abortion takes place because it is early on into the pregnancy.
This is the scene I can’t believe they cut.

ASoIF Dreams
So… I had a dream last night that I was leading an army against Kings Landing. It was pretty awesome. But once we got inside the city walls, we were inexplicably inside a grocery store. Of course, none of us thought anything about it and continued to fight using assorted products from the shelves.
I captured Joffrey by running him over with a cart and stuffing him inside of a cereal box.
What I Wish I Would Have Said
To the man who bought beads for his wife today at the small shop where I work,
You asked me what I thought about the president’s recent decision. I had to clarify that you meant his personal support of marriage equality, since it wasn’t a decision of any sort and he said that it should be left up to the states.
You said yes and asked me if I believe in God. You said that you thought it was wrong to go against the rule book that the Creator gave us and that we all need to resist the sins of the flesh.
I had to be polite because you’re a customer. I argued my points, but much more calmly and respectfully than you really deserved. My bosses should give me a raise for my behavior. I was a fucking saint to you.
Here’s what I wanted to tell you, right after you said “I read my Bible every day” for the third time.
Which parts do you read? Ephesians? Philippians? The Gospels? Do you get your “quiet time” with God while reading the pretty parts of his book? You had never heard that the Bible forbids women to teach men theology (1 Timothy 2:12) or that Leviticus uses the same word for homosexuality as it does to ban shellfish (Leviticus 11:10). I bet you’ve never read anything but the happy-feels bits of the New Testament, ignoring the sections that tell you to sell everything you own to follow Christ and to love others unconditionally, ignoring the ugly sections that teach misogyny and violence.
Don’t lecture me on the pretty parts of the Bible when you’ve never read the ugly parts. Also, you can’t call my bluff on a Bible verse if I know the freaking reference and it isn’t a bluff.
I went to Bible College, motherfucker.
Also, who tries to lecture a shop girl on the evils of homosexuality? I mean, really. Who DOES that?
