And I laughed a lot at the Oberyn Surprise. So wrong. <br /><br />I am also someone very squeamish, but since I love epic fantasy, I finally just watched it on my computer where I could turn the screen away and the sound down whenever it got to be too much. Really, there isn't as much gore as you might expect. I'd say, for every 60 minutes of show, you get maybe 2-5 minutes of gruesome, depending on the episode (some of the battle episodes have more, obviously!) and that leaves plenty of great character work. Maybe give it a try? Like I said, I am super squeamish, but now I am a huge fan.

Back t...Part II (I maxed out the character limit!)<br /><br /><b>Back to Your Photos</b><br />::sobbing continues, great, wracking sobs::<br /><br />Most of these are explained in the above, but "Milk of the Poppy" is not a euphemism for anything other than opium. A lot of people in the book or show get it "for the pain" or to help them sleep.<br /><br />The Red Wedding looks delicious. Because it is delicious. Delicious to watch the joy drain from your friends' faces as they experience the pain you've held with you for SO MANY YEARS. (Robb Stark promised to wed a daughter of Lord Frey but went off to war and had sex. Being <i>more honorable than sensible</i>, he married her. Lord Frey was not pleased. They quick-switched out the grooms to appease Lord Frey. Lord Frey was not appeased. Halfway through the celebration, after the wedding, the shitty-ass minstrels turned out to be archers and killed everyone. <a href="https://giphy.com/gifs/art-fun-illustrators-7cTTE2Z1OmrFm" rel="nofollow">Everyone.</a><br /><br />Snakes are probably for Oberyn because his 6 (I think?) bastard daughters are known as "the Sand Snakes" and in the books are amazing and bad ass and in the TV show were <i>terrible</i>.<br /><br />OH MY GODS I UNDERSTAND WHY THEY CALLED IT ARMY OF UNSULLIED, NOW, AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA<br /><br />Also: you quoted the book and the show!! There is a moment when Cersei is made to walk, naked, through the streets of Kings Landing (the capitol city), as punishment for twincest, as a nun walks behind her ringing a bell and saying "Shame. �� Shame. �� Shame. ��"<br /><br /><a href="https://pizzabottle.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Olenna-Tyrell-Game-Of-Thrones-season-7_gh3h3d-758x398.jpg" rel="nofollow">Also, I love the glasses on the salad, that's pretty epic.</a><br /><br />Beef and bacon pie is mentioned in the books. There is <i>so much food in the books</i>. Half the fun of throwing Game of Thrones parties is deciding what to cook and there's so much to choose from! Baratheon is the house of the King at the start of the books/show—I don't remember any <i>particular</i> association with beef and bacon pie but he did love him some food. And was killed by a boar, so there's that.<br /><br />OH GODS, THREE PIES.<br />Okay: in the <i>books</i>, in retaliation for the Red Wedding, one of the staunchest allies of the Starks kills three of Lord Frey's [adult, if that matters] children and bakes them each into a pie "as big as a wagon wheel" and brings them to serve at the wedding of Lord Bolton's son to Arya Stark. Lord Bolton was also involved in betraying the Starks at the Red Wedding and Lord Frey is present at the Bolton/Stark wedding.<br />In the <i>show</i>, in retaliation for the Red Wedding, Arya Stark disguises herself as a kitchen maid, kills Lord Frey's sons, and bakes them into a <i>single</i> pie that she serves to Lord Frey, before slitting his throat for sweet, sweet justice.<br /><br />Just: were you <i>sure</i> it was beef curry? Really sure?<br /><br />"Morbidly hilarious" is kind of the theme of how you have to approach the show/books or you'll just kill yourself.<br /><br />HOT PIE!!<br />(These are some bomb-ass direwolf breads, they are <i>not easy to do</i>.)<br /><br />::gentle sobbing while looking at your dessert plate::<br /><br />Oberyn, as noted above, was expected to win a duel. But at the end, he monologued, got distracted, and this opponent, weaponless, grabbed his skull and POPPED IT. Thumbs through the eyes. As you did to your dessert. There was much screaming. Both on and off screen.<br /><br />This is amazing and I'm so pleased you got experience it. This, for sure, is party goals.Regoramanoreply@blogger.com
