Chapter 33: Tyrion, Part 8/Part 43:

Tyrion, Jorah, and Penny are now on the ship that the Widow told them about, along with many others including a red priest named Moqorro, who Tyrion talks to a lot. They have a talk about the name of the ship (Selaesori Qhoran, which translates to “Fragrant Magister,” effectively….or “perfumed seneschal,”, which was also in Quaithe’s prophecy…”beware the perfumed seneschal,” though Dany thinks that refers to Reznak mo Reznak…) Tyrion also spends a lot of time on the ship getting to know Penny and trying to cheer her up, and she does eventually forgive Tyrion, and it seems like she starts to get feelings for him… the ship continues sailing past Valyria, and Moqorro talks of a vision, mostly of shadows, but one final one ends the chapter: “a tall and twisted thing with one black eye and ten long arms, sailing on a sea of blood.” This is obviously Euron Greyjoy, right? Kraken, one-eyed, sea of blood? He was around in Valyria…

Chapter 34: Bran, Part 3/Part 21:

Bran, Hodor, Meera, and Jojen are now safe in the hidden caverns where the Children of the Forest live, and Bran is now in training to become a Greenseer. Jojen is still not very well and may be dying, but he feels his job his done, as his purpose was in getting Bran here safely. Meera is not satisfied with this answer, though. Anyway, after eating some stuff given to him from the Three-Eyed Crow (real name Brynden Rivers), Bran can warg into ravens and fly, and it seems the goal is eventually he’ll be able to warg into pretty much anything living in the world, being able to see anything. Alright, I’ll admit that’s pretty cool. He’ll even be able to see at different points in time: there’s a whole montage where Bran sees through the Weirwood at Winterfell, continually moving through the past: he sees Eddard, then two children playing who look like Bran and Arya but is probably a young Lyanna and maybe Young Ned (?), a pregnant woman praying for vengeance, a girl kissing a knight as tall as Hodor, and he progressively goes further and further into the past, ending with a white-haired woman killing a captive with a sickle. WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN? Though at least it’s clear these aren’t prophecies, but all past visions… And well, I’ve got to hand it to you, Bran. You’re interesting again. Bravo. All it took was for you to turn into a tree. Who knew?

Chapter 35: Jon, Part 7/Part 36:

Jon takes some new wildling recruits North of the Wall to the Godswood to say their vows, as he did. However, while there he’s confronted by a group of wildlings, though he manages to avoid conflict once he informs them that they want no trouble and are only there to pray. He even convinces many of them to come back to the Wall with them for food and shelter, and possibly to join the Watch themselves. They’re hesitant because of rumors that Melisandre burns them all, but Jon convinces them because he’s awesome.

When Jon returns, he talks about how he’s opening up another 3 of the gates at the Wall: Deep Lake, Sable Hall, and Long Barrow. Long Barrow is where he plans to put all the women that joined, and is also giving them Iron Emmett and Dolorous Edd. Dolorous Edd in charge of an all-female encampment…that is the closest I’ve heard to a harem anime premise in this series. Anyway, Jon gets a letter from Stannis informing him that Stannis has taken Deepwood Motte after gaining the alliance of the Northern Mountain Clains and the Mormonts of Bear Island. Because of the victory, tons of Northmen are swarming to join Stannis’s army now, so things are finally looking up for my main man Stannis. However, now he’s moving towards Winterfell, where that trap awaits him…

Give it a look, and tell me: What do you think?

Hm… I’m not sure about this yet, other than Ollie seems to really hate tennis balls.

My favourite animation of all time would have to be the tale of Marc Anthony and his love for a stray little kitten he finds. I’ve wanted to do a piece on them for awhile now & finally found the time to do so tonight.

Feed the Kitty

Great fanart for a great cartoon!

I never want to learn the context for these panels.

Believe me, the context just makes it even better. One of the best issues of all time.

nintendroid:

We at the Archive are proud to finally share what we’ve been working towards the last few months: the film’s first true theatrical print screening events! We have worked with the esteemed Landmark theatres and Thalian Hall to book the film in several locations around the country, including New York, NY,Los Angeles, CA,Seattle, WAandWilmington, NC.

This will be the first time the movie has been seen in theaters since it’s original 1993 premiere, so we’re planning these events to be well-remembered. Former cast/crew are scheduled to attend to both watch the film and speak on their contributions while production memorabilia held in storage for nearly 20 years will be displayed.

Yes, you read that right. As this is the last year before the film’s 20th anniversary we’ve decided to demonstrate once and for all that it has a dedicated cult following in the strongest way possible: screening it in theaters across the country. These locations include:

• The Sunshine Cinema in New York City on April 27th and 28th

• The NuArt Theatre in Los Angeles on May 25th

• The Thalian Hall in Wilmington, NC on June 21

• The Egyptian Theatre in Seattle, WA on June 22nd and 23rd

Something I thought I would never see again shown to a public audience. Should we be happy or sad? More here.

I am deeply curious as to how many people will actually show up to this.

When in SHIELD, you land the fucking plane on the first try… OR ELSE.

OMG why am I laughing so hard at this?

Further evidence that Tony designed this.

 #FLY RIGHT OR DIEEEE

Imagine you’re a new S.H.I.E.L.D. pilot. You’re stoked. I mean, you get to work on a flipping battleship full of superheroes, oh, what’s that? You mean it flies, too? Awesome! So you get up to 30K feet and your boss tells you, “Hey, go do some recon.” “Yes, sir!” You hop in your jet. You’re ready for this. So ready. 

And then you realize you have the length of a football field to GET THE FUCK OFF THE RUNWAY OR FACE HORRIBLE CRUSHING DEATH. And, knowing Nick Fury, he’ll then hold a seance to summon your ghost just to yell at you and put on KP duty in the afterlife.

Chapter 30: Daenerys, Part 5/Part 26:

Enemy ships are appearing in Meereen’s harbor, and Dany can’t do shit about them since she dismantled her ships and they have no supplies to build ships, and she refuses to send the dragons out to stop them…Apparently Dany refused the 13 ships left behind by Xaro, too…. Barristan is training orphans to be knights, but they aren’t there yet, either. Thankfully, there’s been no killings for a while as Hizdahr’s been living up to his promise, though a few are suspicious that it’s only because Hizdahr’s been working with the Harpies all along… However, this is mostly a chapter of Bad News, as Dany then learns that Astapor has fallen, burning down with many of its people dying of a disease called the “bloody flux.” The dead man who they find and learn of this from came on a bloody pale mare, so this disease is the first part of Quaithe’s prophecy. So now Astapor is completely fucked, and the survivors are fleeing towards Meereen, some of them racked with disease. Dany still doesn’t want to use dragons because she fears she can’t control them, but Yunkai is coming… Barristan wishes to fight them in battle, but Dany stops him: she believes the only way to save the city is to go ahead and marry Hizdahr, and use his help. I just hope that this Hizdahr guy isn’t one of the 2 betrayals…

Chapter 31: Melisandre, Part 1:

Oh shit, Melisandre’s a POV character now. She’s in her tower trying to seevisions, but all she sees are eyeless faces, towers by the sea crumbling, and winged shadows wheeling through curtains of fire (Dragons attacking the Wall?) She also sees a boy with a wolf’s face howling (Bran?) She also sees a lot of skulls and Jon, so I guess we’re now getting a prophecy of Jon’s death. Great. Also, aww, Melisandre isn’t as much of a bitch as I thoguht at first, as she does realize Davos is a good man who is trusting and reliable to Stannis, so she keeps his son Devan close so that Davos won’t have to lose him. ;_;. 

We get recurring memories from Melisandre, the words “Lot Seven” and “Meloni.”, which makes me think Melisandre used to be a slave and she’s remembering how she was sold. And then the real meat happens as Melisandre has another chat with Jon along with Rattleshirt, who’s going to help Jon rescue Arya. Except it’s NOT Rattleshirt! that red ruby thing Rattleshirt’s wearing is one of Melisandre’s spells, a disguise. She pulled a switcheroo and burned Rattleshirt to death, so this Rattleshirt is actually Mance Rayder! Good thinking, Meli! So Mance is going to go rescue “Arya’, along with some women. Of course the real question is: can Mance be trusted to go through it with it and actually help? Personally, I think he can. He seems like overall a decent guy, and this chapter revealed that Melisandre’s actually pretty cool too.

Chapter 32: Reek, Part 3 (Theon, Part 3/Part 9):

Roose Bolton returns to the Dreadfort, and I love it because we finally get someone who can actually talk shit to Ramsay a little. Roose chides Ramsay for not finding the Freys who were with Wyman, who apparently “got lost” on the way there as they “rode ahead” of Wyman. Yeah, I think I know what happened to those Freys, hehehe. He also advises him to watch himself around some people, particularly Lady Dustin, as she has a lot of alliances with other Houses, and whose home they’ll be going to. Also, Ramsay keeps talking and bragging about how he burned down Winterfell like an idiot, which Roose keeps having to correct and tell him to use the cover story that Theon did it. Oh yeah, Roose also mentions that the Karstarks have traps laid for Stannis, so it looks like they’re betraying him. FUCKING KARSTARKS. Stannis hasn’t fallen for their traps though, so Roose has a new plan: Ramsay will marry “Arya” in Winterfell, baiting Stannis to come up there to attack, where they’ll be waiting for him. 

Then things really get interesting as Roose demands that Theon come with him. They talk of Ramsay’s backstory, how he was a rape-baby who murdered his younger brother when the brother (Roose’s trueborn son) wanted to meet his brother like an idiot. Also, the original Reek was actually strong and cleanly, but smelled bad even after bathing. He was given to Ramsay as a servant, and Roose is unsure who corrupted whom… Roose then takes “Reek” to Barrow Hall, where Lady Dustin resides. Roose introduces him as Theon Greyjoy, Lord of the Iron Islands, and Theon actually breaks down crying, insisting he’s Reek. God damn, it’s horrible seeing at how badly people can be broken and brainwashed through torture. Not even Theon deserved this fate. 

Chapter 27: Tyrion, Part 7/Part 42:

Tyrion has indeed been captured by Jorah, who takes him to Volantis and intends to take him to Daenerys, I guess hoping that handing a Lannister to her will redeem him? Anyway, We also learn that the Lord of Light is worshipped as like the dominant religion here, as red priests are everywhere, including Benerro, the High Red Priest. Anyway, Jorah and Tyrion visit a rich old woman called The Widow of the Waterfront, who used to be a slave but is now the widow of a former Triarch of Volantis, who lives at the Merchant’s House and holds court, and is described as looking like a fox. Jorah asks the Widow to help them get safe passage to Meereen, and she quizzes them on their intent. She doesn’t trust Jorah when he claims that he just wants to go to serve Dany, but seems to like Tyrion for at least being honest when he says that all he wants in return for serving Dany is the chance to kill Cersei. But because she doesn’t trust Jorah, she’s about to deny them until Tyrion is attacked by a dwarf girl named Penny, who was one of the dwarves that jousted at Joffrey’s wedding. Her brother was one of the dwarves mistaken for Tyrion and killed. (Wow, didn’t think that would actually be brought up again). the Widow takes pity on Penny and Tyrion, and changes her mind. She tells them to board a ship headed for Qarth, which will never reach Qarth according to the prophecies of Benerro… Hm, interesting. Yet another boat trip for Tyrion!

Chapter 28: Jon, Part 6/Part 35:

Jon sends Alliser Throne and a few others North of the Wall to go ranging, and Alliser assumes it’s a death sentence. Dude, ranging is your fucking job, shut up. Jon, on the other hand, mentions that he actually does hope Thorne survives, since even if he’s a douchebag he’s still a Brother. Jon then does some training with Rattleshirt, who is stronger than him and is actually pretty badass. He also gets news about Ramsay marrying Arya, which pisses him off. Melisandre of all people talks to Jon about this, and promises she can save Arya (though I wonder if Melisandre knows that this “Arya” is a fake?) also, Melisandre can safely pet Ghost and have it so Ghost won’t even come to Jon when he calls while he’s with her which is…disturbing. Oh yeah, and Melisandre also gives a prophecy: “a girl in grey on a dying horse is coming here.” Jon of course believes this means Arya, and Melisandre agrees, but we all know “Arya” is actually Jeyne and the real Arya is over in Braavos…Oh, she also prophesizes about the 9 men Jon sent out beyond the Wall: 3 of them will die and return as wights without eyes. Oh shit, son.

Chapter 29: Davos, Part 4/Part 13:

Yay, Wyman Manderly is actually a bro and didn’t kill Davos! He killed some random criminal instead. It seems he does think the Freys’ story is bullshit and blames them, and with him is Robett Glover, who agrees! Wyman was just playing along until his son Wylis would be given back to him. Heh, as the saying goes, he’s fat, but he’s not stupid! Wylis has been released now and is back home, which means that now Wyman’s ready to get his revenge on the Freys and Boltons. Speaking of, we get even more stories about Ramsay: he likes to hunt women for sport, rape them, flay them, and then feed them to the dogs. I mean, it was hinted in the Theon chapters, but to be outright described like this…

Davos thus learns that Theon is still alive and with Ramsay, as well. Even better, Wyman and Robett found Wex, Theon’s mute squire, who wishes to help them get revenge on the Boltons! Things are finally starting to look up for Stannis: Manderly is the richest House in the North with a strong army and fleet, and Wyman is completely willing to join Stannis as long as Davos does one thing: find Rickon Stark, and bring him (plus Shaggydog, to prove it’s him) back to the North, as thanks to Wex they know he’s alive, and as a male will have a stronger claim to Winterfell than “Arya.” Wex even knows where Rickon and Osha went to: it’s not stated, but apparently it’s a land of cannibals. WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU TAKE RICKON TO CANNIBAL-LAND, OSHA?! Did she get lost?!
