For my male audience
I have never heard of a ptarmigon before, and if someone had described what it looked and sounded like I would have thought they were pulling my leg or describing a funny local cryptid. Knowing that this funny little bird with the angry red eyebrows that makes croaky "oh wow" sounds exists adds that much more brightness to my life

But it *could* be Adam being stalked metaphorically and literally by his dual nature as the Antichrist. If we go with that interpretation, only flaw would be false advertising when the readers find out he's not the main character.
Hi Neil! This is one of the old french covers for good omens. I was just wondering if you had, say, ANY idea of what happened in the illustrator's brain?
I am pretty certain the illustrator has painted a cover to a completely different book, and that that cover has been bought cheaply to reuse by J'ai Lu.
I blame the movies we watched growing up framing black widows, tarantulas, and even just regular spiders as dangerous and unsettling
You know what’s wild? I hear people all the time talking about how they’ve been bitten by spiders. And the truth is that spider bites are so incredibly rare, constantly misdiagnosed. Do your research or ask anyone who studies them. Spiders are simply not out here biting people.
But what’s even more amazing is how adamant people are about seeing spiders as biting people when you know who does bite people? All the time? Ants. Why do people not fear ants? But this fantasy of spiders biting them gives them severe avoidance instincts. Like have you ever sat on concrete. Or in grass. Or outside at all ever? Ants are biting you. That little pinch you felt under your thigh? That’s some little fuckers mouthpieces grabbing your leg my dude.
It just doesn’t make sense to me? Why do people fear spiders but not ants? When ants are so much more likely to walk on your person than spiders, and in many cases will bite you if you don’t know they’re on you. Someone explains this to me. And don’t say spiders are bigger and creepier bc have you seen bullet ants
This is not to throw shade on ants. I think ants are fantastic and beautiful little guys. But seriously why are we demonizing spiders when ants are literally sitting right next to them biting u
For one, their Deaths are complete polar opposites, bit still very very good at what they do and are amazing to behold
DON'T THINK OF IT AS DYING... THINK OF IT AS LEAVING EARLY TO AVOID THE RUSH

No.

We've been without the next book too long if this is what we've been reduced to when it comes to theories and plot twists... 😅
Apparently the favourite Rhaegar x Lyanna explanation is now that the whole war is actually Brandon Stark's fault (Rhaegar only kidnapped Lyanna to save her from Aerys' wrath, realised how perfect this arrangement was for the prophecy, he told Rickard about it but didn't have time to tell Brandon and Brandon then ruined everything when he went to King's Landing). Like. Sure, time to blame the guy who lost his sister and was then brutally murdered alongside his father. Also, Rickard definitely would have been fine with his only daughter, whose betrothal was decided by him, becoming the crown prince's second wife (at beast). Anything to absolve Rhaegar of blame
Wow.
Also, can we remember that what started the war was not Brandon riding in to the Red Keep and being a little too confrontational about the fact that his sister was abducted by the crown prince, but the fact that Aerys chose to murder eight people about it? Lords and their sons? Without trial? Lords of the Riverlands, Vale and North? And then went on to demand the murder of two more, Eddard Stark and Robert Baratheon, the new Lord Stark and the Lord of Storm's End? Two of the highest Lords in his Realm? On the basis of absolutely nothing?
Even if the hare-brained theory had any merit - that Rickard Stark would have been fine with making a concubine of his only daughter and destroying a betrothal that would have made her the Lady of Storm's End - that still has no bearing on the fact that Aerys decided to be a tyrannical, sadistic murderer instead of following the rule of law and upholding his end of the feudal contract and granting a fair trial.
And given the volatile political position of House Targaryen at the time, given that a block of informal alliances had formed between North, Vale, Stormlands and Riverlands, Rhaegar is STILL INSANELY CULPABLE if he did not realize that kidnapping half of a future marriage within that alliance block would be the domino that would send political stability in the Realm crashing and burning. Even if Aerys had not been a sadistic tyrant. Which, however, he was!
The conduct of House Targaryen is from every angle indefensible and no amount of contrived excuses will change that.
Look at this distinguished gentleman. Look at the way he is reading the paper, mmmyessh, very distinguished.
COS Edward, for @suiilee ,for no particular reason. With glasses, also for no reason, I just like to give people glasses. @suiilee you keep reminding me of COS, I will need to watch it again soon. I remember when the movie first came out I loved that he had a pony tail - that was before he had one in the manga. Those were the days, eh? P.S. get sticker here
