listen there really was just something about how in the book, snow’s 3-page descent from hesitant lover boy to deluded psychopath happens entirely in his mind. lucy gray gives him no indication whatsoever that she suspects him, that she’s going to leave or betray him. he’s just sitting quietly in the cabin waiting for her to return when that seed of calculated suspicion, which he has needed to survive the capitol, takes a hold of him and chokes the life out of any goodness left inside him. it really drives home your terror as a reader that “oh my god did he kill her? did she escape? what happened to her? why would he even think that?” in a way that when the movie had to adjust for visualization it lost some of that holy shit this guy has lost it emphasis.
This is literally one of my favorite place on the dream smp. It has such a calming, conforming vibe.
I have been technically working on this for a year, I was working on it on Niki’s art stream for those who remember. It took me a while, but now more than ever I thought this deserved to be finished. And I absolutely love the result.
Here have some close-ups
It’s not a lot, but this does make me feel a bit better, and I hope everyone can find a bit of home within this ♥︎
martyn: "i talk about my fears to- so that i can face them! well, get rid of them at least"
jimmy: "you're gonna have to face it now! *laughs*
martyn: "well i'll tell you now, what i'll do, is once your build exceeds this build by one block in terms of height, i will come and slaughter you and push you down to third life and then, we'll just stop proceedings"
jimmy: "we're on- we're on new life. i don't- that was two years ago, martyn! get over it, it was two years ago! third life was two years ago!"
(3/30) my ideal study plan for the weekend would be to finish the biggest chunk of my psych assignment and my extra french delf B2 tasks before 4pm on Saturday so I could enjoy the rest of the evening watching the fake jury show in bed with my cat or bf or both :’)
bleh, i just packed on all that extra weight & made my appetite insane only for the weather to trap me in the house with no way to use the roads and get more food 😔

ASOIAF discourse would be a lot more fun if we all realized that every single person who has been put in a position of leadership/rulership fails in one way or another. Jon and Dany failing is not an indictment on their abilities to lead or rule. They’re kids, they still have shit to figure out. Given “what was Aragorn’s tax policy”, I doubt GRRM will write a story that will feature the appearance of a most perfect ruler ever who will be a total success instead Jon and Dany who were tOtAl FlOpS. Especially if this person has no previous experience that has been detailed within the text itself. That’s not only antithetical to the series, but also not how you write a narrative.
