ohanditdidntgo<p>I've pretty reliable read an <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/ASOIAF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ASOIAF</span></a> novel every other book for the last year.....</p><p>But now I'm onto the final in the main series....I'm not doing that anymore.</p><p>It's not that I'm not excited to go back to it, it's just...well, once it's over it's over isn't it.</p>
Willowbottom<p>I refuse to watch anything <a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/GRRM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GRRM</span></a> related until he finishes those damn books. </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/ASongOfIceAndFire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ASongOfIceAndFire</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/ASOIAF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ASOIAF</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/GameOfThrones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GameOfThrones</span></a></p><p><a href="https://gizmodo.com/george-rr-martin-dark-winds-season-3-cameo-2000573883" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">gizmodo.com/george-rr-martin-d</span><span class="invisible">ark-winds-season-3-cameo-2000573883</span></a></p>
ohanditdidntgo<p>I love the concept of Mastodon but damn if it isn't hard to see how much more interaction I get over on Bluesky for things like <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/FPL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FPL</span></a>, <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/Hockey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hockey</span></a> and <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/ASOIAF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ASOIAF</span></a>.</p><p>I'm trying to help that stuff grow on this platform but it's hard when there's so few of us to actually generate conversation and whatnot.</p><p>I'm fairly confident I'm the only Washington Capitals fan on Mastodon at this point. It's just me screaming into the void. </p><p>Meanwhile I look over at BS and a lot of my old Twitter friends are having a great time talking Caps hockey.</p><p>FPL is similar. There's loads of conversation going on and I'm again, just shouting into the void.</p><p>I love Mastodon, I'm happy to continue supporting it but fuck.</p>
Steven 💚<p>I absolutely love <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/asoiaf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>asoiaf</span></a> Rickon theories, because in order to do a Rickon theory you have to confidently explain why Rickon is important while also repeated saying the word "Shaggy Dog".</p>
ohanditdidntgo<p>I'm putting off my <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/ADanceWithDragons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ADanceWithDragons</span></a> re-read because I know that once I'm done with this book, I'll likely never have anything new in the main series to read again.</p><p>And I know I've read it before, but it was a long, long time ago and honestly I'm not sure I've got another 14 years in me.</p><p>When I started this <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/ASOIAF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ASOIAF</span></a> re-read in mid 2023 I held out hope that by the time I'd finished Dance, George would have delivered <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/WindsOfWinter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WindsOfWinter</span></a>, and I end it feeling like that is never going to happen.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Books</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/Reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Reading</span></a></p>

Petri Markkanen<p>Tässä tulee rehellisesti pitkä esittely. Ota hyvää naposteltavaa, nyt mennään.</p><p>Olen Petri, satahämäläisiltä juurilta ponnistava isä, <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/toimittaja" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>toimittaja</span></a> , nörtti, <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/kirjaholisti" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kirjaholisti</span></a>, <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/teknofani" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>teknofani</span></a> ja luontoretkeilevä <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/videopelaaja" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>videopelaaja</span></a>. Tulihan siinä. Työkseni <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/kirjoitan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kirjoitan</span></a>, kuvaan ja hallitsen kokonaisuuksia, nyt vt. päätoimittajana paikallismediassa. Olen työskennellyt enemmän ja vähemmän <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/journalismi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>journalismi</span></a> n parissa kohta vuosikymmenen, ja maisterinpaperini ovat myös alalta. Rakastan vapaata tiedonvälitystä ja taistelen sen eteen, ettei meillä syntyisi uutisautiomaita mihinkään. Olen saanut tehdä uraani monesti siellä, minne olen itse halunnut suunnata – aina Lapin ja Koillismaan erämaisemista takaisin Pirkanmaan kaupunkeihin. Katson olevani onnekas työelämässä ja elämässä ylipäätään. Elämässä ei muuten kannata tehdä virheitä, eikä musiikissa.</p><p>Olen harrastanut tietokoneita ja kameroita, tärkeimpiä harrastusalojani, siitä lähtien kun muistan. Isä toi lapsena töistä kotiin tietokoneita (Doom, Duke, Prince of Persia, tiedät varmaan katalogin) ja papan Canon AE-1 Program oli tosi siisti vehje räplätä. Kuvaan paljon digillä ja puhelimella, vapaalla enemmän pelkästään filmille. Keräilen kameroita, joiden toivon toimivan. Laukusta löytyy sitten liuta testattuja ja huollettuja kameroita linsseineen. Liikaa? Ei koskaan. Nyt hauskinta on <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/Pentax17" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pentax17</span></a> – se ei ole pettänyt kertaakaan. <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/Valokuvaus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Valokuvaus</span></a> on terapiaa, taidetta ja yhteyttä. Luomisen tuskaakin.</p><p>Harrastan myös miniatyyripelejä, tällä hetkellä A Song of Ice and Fire on parasta, mitä olen kahteen vuosikymmeneen pelannut. Hurjan hauskaa maalata ja heittää noppaa <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/asoiaf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>asoiaf</span></a> </p><p>Muuten elämässä pohdin avaruutta, <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/historia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>historia</span></a> a, kirjallisuutta ja <a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/luonto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>luonto</span></a> a. Lista on aika pitkä, ja sisältää pääasiassa melko rauhallisia ja syvällisiä asioita. Lapset pitävät huolen siitä, että päivittäinen liikunta-annos täyttyy ilolla ja riemulla.</p><p>Pidän ihmisistä, keskusteluista ja spontaaneista tapaamisista, mutta puolet minusta on introverttiä. Oma aika, oma rauha.</p><p>Täällä olen, koska kyllästyin vihdoin ja viimein isojen somejättien sekoiluun ja valtaan. Olen jo kauan kaivannut keskustelufoorumeista tuttua dialogia ja hyviä, toisia kunnioittavia kohtaamisia. Toivottavasti niitä tulee täältä. Aion tehdä oman osani.</p><p>Edit. 24.1.2025 kello 20.39: lisätty kappale miniatyyriharrastuksesta.</p>

Steven 💚<p>There's a children's author.</p><p>Garth Nix.</p><p>He wrote the Sabriel series and the Seventh Tower series.</p><p>He has already written the ending to <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/ASOIAF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ASOIAF</span></a> that about half of it's fans want to read.</p><p>Genuinely, I think he's kind of the best fit to finish the series if George doesn't.</p>

It gets lonely.</p>

ohanditdidntgo<p><a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/asoiaf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>asoiaf</span></a> God damn the final few chapters of Feast are absolutely bringing it. The Cersei chapter specifically is a total page turner that is so satisfying to read as someone who loves it when a character gets their just deserts. </p><p>Nom nom nom.</p>
ohanditdidntgo<p>So I read the final <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/Brienne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Brienne</span></a> chapter of <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/AFeastForCrows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AFeastForCrows</span></a> last night. It's a fine chapter, and I can see why the fandom has been tying itself into knots over it's ending for the last...19 years.</p><p>That said...I absolutely hate how it wraps up. I'm not an author, and I don't want to sound like I'm telling George how to write but 'a word' just doesn't feel right you know?</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/ASOIAF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ASOIAF</span></a></p>

ohanditdidntgo<p>Is anyone else completely disinterested in the idea of an Arya spin-off story?</p><p>There's so much good stuff in the history's that I'd much rather they go back and bring some of those stories to life. </p><p>Obviously, that groundwork isn't necessarily there however, and I guess Arya does carry a lot of name recognition; she was (surprisingly to me) a very popular character during the shows run.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/GameOfThrones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GameOfThrones</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/ASOIAF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ASOIAF</span></a></p>
ohanditdidntgo<p>I'm enjoying <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/AFeastForCrows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AFeastForCrows</span></a> significantly more on the second read to be honest. </p><p>It's probably a combination of things; I'm much more steeped in this world than I was upon my first read, and this book is a relatively slow burn that massively expands the scope of the series with lore and histories and the like.</p><p>I'm also not reading the entire series in a six month window, which was kind of exhausting.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/ASOIAF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ASOIAF</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/Reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Reading</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Books</span></a></p>
