DRAGONMOUNT

July 31, 2017

ACTUAL THOUGHTS THAT WENT THROUGH MY HEAD WHILE WATCHING S7 E3:

Previously on incudes Ellaria killing Myrcella... yeah, Cersei is gonna terrible things to her.

Also, Bran arriving at the wall... so we'll see Bran at Winterfell this week...

*hums along with the theme song* Peter Dinklage Peter Dinklage Peter Dinklage....

Mmmmm, nice waves... that must have been a very uncomfortable ride on the rowboat

JON AND TYRION <3 It's been a long road indeed.

Davos and Tyrion have some history.

Missandei demanding they hand over their weapons... damn.

Jon's all "be careful with that sword, it's worth more than your life."

Tyrion asking Jon about Sansa... "Does she miss me terribly?".... Not so much, now that you mention it. :tongue:

Tyrion giving Jon good advice.

WHOA DRAGON (Right after the "But I'm not a Stark" line... oh that's not a sign right there...)

Melisandre and Varys watching the approach... Varys ferreting out her secrets.

Oooh interesting... Melisandre planning to leave for Volantis, but says she will return one last time because she must die in Westeros... like Varys. I am INTRIGUED.

Dany's finally on that sweet sweet throne

Missandei rattling off all of Daenerys' titles... Jon's all "dude, what do I do now?" Davos... um... "This is Jon Snow." *snerk*

Interesting. Dany apologizes to Jon for her father's crimes against house Stark. That's not a bad move.

"I am the last Targaryen, Jon Snow." Well....... not so much.

Aaaaand now we get to Jon's pitch. Dany does not sound impressed.

Apparently Jon doesn't want Davos to talk about the fact that he died and was resurrected... hm...

Varys has news? What's up?

Well that first meeting didn't go so hot. :unsure:

Oh, Varys is telling Dany about the defeat at sea.

Aaaand there's Theon, getting hauled up onto the deck of one of his ships.

"YOu wouldn't be here if you tried." Rub some salt in those wounds, will ya?

Euron with the hero's welcome in King's Landing... leading his captives through the streets... toromenting Yara... he's just a peach, ain't he?

The gift... Ellaria and Tyene. Justice for Myrcella.

Cersei promises to give Euron what he wants when the war is won. Poor Euron, he's never going to get what he wants.

Whoaaaaa, Jaime was not expecting Euron to ask him for advice on that! :laugh:

I think his eye is twitching.

Cersei tormenting Ellaria with memories of Ser Gregor killing Oberyn.

"You can't imagine how that feels unless you've lost a child." Soooooo, I guess you're about to imagine how that feels.

Whoo, poisonous symmetry.

Wow. That music. *bows to Ramin Djawadi*

Apparenty torture and revenge gets Cersei in the mood... Jaime's all "um what?"

Oh, now you're all about advertising your twincest?

The Iron Bank will have its due, Cersei.

"Euron Greyjoy is loyal to me." "For now." Mmmhmmmmm.

A fortnight? Are you serious?

Bahahahahah "You look a lot better brooding than I do." Tyrion is just the best.

"Children are not their fathers, luckily for all of us." Truuuuuuth.

"A very wise man once said that you should never believe something simply because you want to believe it." "And which wise man was that?" Me... just now?

BAAHAHAHAHA Dany calling him out on presenting his own statements as ancient wisdom. *snerk* "I would never do that. To you." *ROFL*

Dany picked up on Ser Davos alllllmost letting Jon's death slip. Innnnnnteresting

You want to rule all the 7 kingdoms, Jon isn't bending the knee... you know the easiest solution to bringing the North into the fold, right? *cough*marriagealliance*cough*

Yeah, she doesn't believe you. But I have a feeling she's gonna find out about the whole "died and resurrected" thing.

Sansa being GOOD AT THIS.

Littlefinger just keeps lurking.... UGH

Aaaaaaaaaand being confusing as HELL. :wacko:

IT'S BRAN!!!! BRAN IS HOME!!!!!!!!!! *sniffles*

Bran needs to speak to Jon indeed. He knows things!

Bran proving that he knows things by recounting the details of Sansa's wedding... She's a BIT freaked out.

Hmmmmmm..... the greyscale looks better. MIRACULOUSLY. :tongue:

I suppose you'll get kicked out of school this evening. :unsure:

Sam should go with Jorah to Dragonstone! I like this idea.

Ebrose seems to be rather... impressed with Sam's ability to read and follow instructions. Hm. :huh:

I guess he's not getting kicked out? OK then!

Dany wants to send her dragons after Euron, of course!

Oooh! Casterly Rock!

Archers!

Aaaaaand Tyrion's history as the keeper of the drains and cisterns bears fruit.... Unsullied sneakin in while TYRION QUOTES BRONN I LOVE IT. "Give me ten good men, I'll impregnate the b!#%&"

"And so it begins."

Oooh, vicious spear.

Grey Worm lives!!!!

Where are the rest of the Lannisters?

Oh crap, Euron's here. :unsure:

Jaime.. Bronn... Randyll Tarly.. marching on Highgarden, of course.

Well, that was fast.

Olenna and Jaime, such an interesting confrontation. Such snark.

"There are lessons in failures." "You must be very wise by now." OH. SNAP.

Olenna about to confess to orchestrating Joffrey's murder? :unsure:

Damn, this is such the opposite of book Jaime. Uckkkk.

Oh crap, she IS gonna confess.

"Tell Cersei. I want her to know it was me."

Daaaaaaaaaaaamn.

July 30, 2017

The kettle's whistled and a new pot of tea's been brewed.

Time to check what's at the bottom of Tress cup.

You're future is bright!

Wooooo! (Now if only I can force myself to check some things off my to-do list!)

July 24, 2017

Show Dorne is soon to be a dead plot, and thank goodness.

Still intrigued for Book Dorne. I expect much more.

July 24, 2017

ACTUAL THOUGHTS THAT WENT THROUGH MY HEAD WATCHING S7 E2:

Oldtown in the opening credits looks so cool.

Storm at Dragonstone... while we plan for Dany's invasion.

Dany seems to be a bit doubtful of Varys' loyalty.

VARYS SERVES THE REALM.

And now, speaking of burning people alive, Melisandre!

Dun dun dunnnnnn... now Tyrion knows Jon Snow is the King in the North.

"I like Jon Snow, and I am an excellent judge of character." Yeah Tyrion.

Jon Snow is summoned to come to Dragonstone and bend the knee... oh dear.

Yeah, Jon, you need to meet with her.

Randyll Tarly just looks mean.

Cersei disseminating fake news... *thumbs up*

Qyburn "working on a solution" for dragons... that's just disturing.

There it is... the incentive for Tarly to switch sides to the Lannisters. New Warden of the South.

Geez, Jorah, you're a mess.

Oh, and 6 months until you lose your mind. There's that to look forward to.

Sam finds out he's Jeor Mormont's son... now he really wants to do something to help.

Oh dear, what's Qyburn up to now?

Oh, the dragon skulls.

That skull's nowhere near large enough to be Balerion.

Oh geez, that's a nasty anti-dragoncraft weapon.

Yara! Theon! Ellaria!

Oh snap, Tyrion giving Ellaria guff for killing Myrcella.

Dornish and Tyrell armies besiege King's Landing while the Unsullied take Casterly Rock... I like it.

Olenna giving Dany advice to ignore Tyrion's advice and "be a dragon". >.> This can't go well.

Missandei making Grey Worm talk about his feelings... using that same idiotic "I am a weakness?" line that Shae used on Tyrion. :rolleyes:

Awwwwwwww, mushy kissing stuff.

WHOA THAT'S NAKED STUFF.

You know he's not actually equipped for that, right?

Isn't his door standing open? :unsure:

Well, I guess he's equipped for that.

Sam really wants to cure Jorah... Guess we're gonna do something crazy risky here.

Yikes, that sounds ridiculously painful. Oh yeah, and don't scream.

Ewww ewww ewwww ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Wouldn't it be easier to feed him obsidian like that book he was reading said could cure some ailments? :unsure:

HOT PIE!!!!!! :happy:

"You've been making pies?" "One or two." ROFL.

What happened to you, Arry? Far, far too much.

Arya learns the news - Jon is King in the North, and the Boltons are dead. PLEASE GO BACK HOME ARYA.

Hot Pie is a survivor indeed :wub:

Stark theme music.... ARYA IS GOING NORTH!

Jon gets word from Sam that he needs to go to Dragonstone for obsidian anyway... might as well ally with Daenerys while he's at it, yeah? Yeah? His people are not impressed.

Tyrion is a good man. *nod*

Actually, you crowned Robb King in the North AFTER he rode south. To be technical about it.

Jon's all "Yeah, I didn't want this job anyway."

Awww, yeah. He's leaving the North in Sansa's hands. :wub:

Wipe that look off your face, Littlefinger.

Down to the crypts to say goodbye to Ned... And Littlefinger being a creeper. Grrrrr.

You were sorry when he died? RIGHT. :rolleyes:

Cat wasn't fond of you... yeah, thanks for reminding me.

Oh snap, Littlefinger bringing up the "you ought to be thanking me"....

LOL Jon doing pretty much exactly the same thing Ned did to Littlefinger. THROAT HUG.

Aryaaaaaaaaaaaa :wub:

Nervous horsey is nervous.

Wolves eva'war!

OMG NYMERIA IS RIGHT BEHIND YOU

NYMERIA AND ARYA TOGETHER AGAIN OMG SQUEEEEEEEE

Awwwwwwwwww :sad:

She left *sniffles* I'M CHOPPING ONIONS OKAY

Boats boats boats boats

Sand snakes being annoying :rolleyes:

Ellaria flirting with Yara. Theon's all "don't mind me over here... being the third wheel...."

A foreign invasion is underway? Oh geez.

WHOOPS, NOW THAT'S GOOD TIMING. I mean, bad timing.

Oh craaaaaaaaap, it's Euron.

Geez, he looks freaking insane. I love it.

Well crap, this boat's gonna need serious repairs.

WHOOP, dead sand snake!

Oh no, he's not gonna kill ya... you're the gift. Ha.

Uh-oh, Theon. Your uncle's got your sister. Guess you're not doing your job as her protector.

Theon's got PTSD face... AAAAAAAND he jumps off the boat.

Poor useless Theon, watching them sail away with his sister. *sigh*

Came across this today.

http://mygotcharacter.com/

Primary Character:Maester Aemon

Traits:Wise, Humble, Capable

Your primary character is Maester Aemon. You are both wise and humble. You don't seek the limelight, preferring to use your gifts as an adviser and confidante to the powerful. You have a strong sense of duty, but of duty to the greater good rather than to those to whom you are close to personally. You prefer to serve people rather than leading them. You are gentle and kind in all of your dealings with others. You are driven from within and do not seek the approval of others.

Secondary Character:Maester Luwin

Tertiary Character:Jeor Mormont

Nolder and I are almost the same person :unsure:

:unsure:

:laugh:

July 19, 2017

1) Maester Aemon

2) Jeor Mormont

3) Maester Luwin

Not bad. :happy:

I was thinking about linking my report too, so... edit!

That's why when one of the Brotherhood suggested maybe there was ale hidden somewhere, Clegane said there wasn't - because when he and Arya were there he asked for ale, and the man and his daughter said they didn't have any.

July 18, 2017

Do you mean the dead people?
Yeah.

That was the house he and Arya stopped at in S4, where he robbed the guy and his daughter and justified it by telling Arya that they weren't going to survive the winter anyway. A clip of that was in the "previously on" prior to the episode.

July 17, 2017

ACTUAL THOUGHTS WHILE WATCHING S7 E1:

Cold opening on... Walder Frey? Oh that has to be Arya.

is it happening? IT'S HAPPENING.

Oh. So. Cold.

"When people ask you what happened her, tell them winter came for House Frey. The North Remembers." *mic drop*

Foggy. Huh.

Oh, I guess that was snow. And a GEEZ IT'S A GIANT ZOMBIE ARMY.

Wait, literally GIANT. Oh that CANNOT be good.

Bran!

They made it to the Wall!!!

Yay! Dolorous Edd!!!!

Bran doing creepy psychic stuff to prove they're who they say they are? Okayyyyy... that doesn't prove they're Bran Stark and Meera Reed, but whatevs. The Night King is coming for all of us anyway.

Jon holding court.... we need dragonglass! And Jon wants every Northern girl as well as boy age 10 and up to fight with weapons. Yeahhhhhhh... Lyanna Mormont!!

Tormund off to man Eastwatch...

Yeahhhh Sansa making sense. *thumbs up* Wellllll, probably not great to disagree with him publicly in front of like everyone.

OK. Well. Jon being inspirational. I'll allow it.

Littlefinger all smirky. Grrr.

Oohh snap, Sansa. Don't go comparing Jon to Joffrey. THANK YOU.

"You have to be smarter than Father." Good point.

Yeah, you should probably listen to Sansa. She does know Cersei a lot better than you.

Speaking of the devil...

Oh hai Jaime.

He's not angry with her. He just thinks you're bat$#!^ crazy.

"Us" is not a dynasty, Cersei.

We need allies.... cut to Greyjoy fleet.... Euron. Speaking of bat$%!^ crazy...

Oh yeah. Euron came here for a queen... Jaime's not gonna be fond of that proposal.

Jaime giving Cersei the side-eye like "you're not into this tool, are you?"

Oh snap. Two good hands. He went there.

So Euron's gonna win Cersei's heart by killing or capturing her enemies. Sounds reasonable.

Sam doesn't look like he's having all that much fun at the Citadel tbh

TRAINING MONTAGE OF BOREDOM AND EWWWWWW.

Ooooh, what's behind that gate? I'mma go peek. Must be special secret books! That dude's got a key. I need to get me one of those!

On the bright side, the Archmaester believes I saw the White Walkers... on the down side, he thinks we don't need to worry about them. >.>

Was that Sam stealing a key? And a book? Hmmmmmmm???

LOL Tormund giving Brienne that look... Pod's a lucky guy to get the crap beaten out of him by her.... *snerk*

Littlefinger sidling up to Sansa... :rolleyes:

"Why aren't you happy? What do you want that you do not have?" "At the moment, peace and quiet." LOLSNAP.

She appears to be not so happy with Lord Baelish just now on a personal level.

Arya riding along.... hey, guy singing! It's Ed Sheeran singing that song they wrote about Tyrion and Shae!

Lannister soldiers eh? Offering Arya food and a place to hang out for the night? This is not going to end well for them... :unsure:

She's heading to King's Landing to kill Cersei?

These guys are being NICE to her... and she's now SUPER CONFLICTED.

I don't think there's a legal drinking age in Westeros, dude. Blackberry wine sounds pretty decent though.

"Why's a nice girl on her own heading to King's Landing?" "I'm going to kill the queen." ...... *laughter* What, they don't believe her? JOKE'S ON THEM.

Sandor and the Brotherhood, such an odd grouping. LOL.

LOL Sandor... all he's got left is calling Thoros "baldie"

Oh, this is the farm with that family he and Arya stayed with that he stole from... aaaaaaand they're dead. :sad:

"You're not bad" High praise from Clegane. lol

This is a very philosophical conversation for Sandor Clegane to be involved in. :mellow:

Sandor gonna look into the flames and become a TRUE BELIEVER WHAT

The army of the dead is headed to Eastwatch by the Sea LET'S GOOOOOOOOO

Awww, Clegane burying the family he stole from... regretsssss.... (Also, GRAVEDIGGER *cough*book4*cough*)

Eloquence is not his strong suit.

Oooh, the High Tower. Looking sweet.

Sam and Gilly and Little Sam, up late reading stolen books...

Hey hey, Dragonstone's got a load of dragonglass HEY JON YOU SHOULD TOTALLY GO THERE!

HOLY CRAP IT'S JORAH IN A CELL? :confused:

Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, FINALLY. Dany within sight of Dragonstone.

DRAGONZZZZZZZZZZZ

There's no place like home!

That's a freaking cool looking cliff wall.

Did Stannis not leave like ANYONE behind to watch over the place when he left Dragonstone? No servants or anything?

Daenerys is not impressed with your interior decorator. :nod:

But that's a pretty sweet throne.

Oooh, it's the painted table! Must be hella dusty.

"Shall we begin?"

BAM.

SO. EXCITE.

July 16, 2017

Starz necessary in September for Outlander S3! :biggrin:

July 15, 2017

On an unrelated note, can I ask those of you who have working sigs where you're hosting them now that photobucket has crapped out?

And yay game of thrones.

imgur - It's pretty easy to use. :smile:

July 14, 2017

People at work near me talking about the show like they're experts and getting half the details wrong... :rolleyes:

YOU PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO GET ME STARTED.

July 14, 2017

It's a Krak!!

My usual reaction is "Holy hell, it's a Krak!"

:laugh:

Black goes well with black.

I agree. :D

I third this motion.

Also, red. And blue.

Elgee and Ryrin aren't mafia fans. :wink:

(But it's addictive. *nod*)

July 1, 2017

Two months in a row! What!? The Tainted Times, baby... We've got the taint if you've got the time... wait... :unsure:

Let's start with the new faces!

NEW ARRIVALS

The voices in their head brought us THREE new members this month... if you haven't stopped in to welcome them yet, please do!

Cawstrife was the first to follow the lure of Saidin to our midst.

FrozenLake obliged us with writing a song about his favorite things, although he refused to dance. :mad:

Dar'Jen Ab Owain slipped in just before month ended, and has no idea how insane we all are just yet. Oh, she'll see.

PROMOTIONS

We haz them! Come congratulate them in the Farmhouse!

Leyrann was officially announced as the new Logain, Faction Leader of the Light. Since he was pretty much doing all the work anyway, this was no surprise.

Cairos has now been promoted to Dedicated. (And it's about time!)

Will there be more to come in July? STAY TUNED!

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Don't forget the Points Page is now conveniently located in the Farmhouse here to see your points total!

Then you can go here to spend your points. Earn points. Use points. Level up....

And the restoration of the offsite rollers is still in the works, with Nikon and TMD collaborating to return our ability to battle one another into submission. :baalzamon:

EVENTS AND GAMES

The Light vs. Shadow event actually took place! What! If you missed it, the theme was Cliches, because good vs. evil is such a cliche as it is.

The Shadow claimed the victory in Cindy's Hangman game, which was extremely fun.

The Mafia team claimed a somewhat rapid victory in RTE and Leyrann's Cliche Mafia. Congratulations to Dawn, Darthe and Nyn/Oscar for the win!

The one and only player *cough*me*cough* led the Light to victory in Niniel's Scavenger Hunt. ALL YOUR HIDDEN IMAGES ARE BELONG TO US.

Panchi's Cliche'd Hunger Games is still ongoing, with three combatants left alive at this time. Stay tuned for the final result!

And if you have thoughts to share, Time's Cliches and Tropes discussion thread is available for your pleasure. If you're feeling particularly evil, you may want to link to TVTropes.org and see how many rabbit holes you can get people to fall through...

Up next, BFG will be posting signups soon for another mafia game. Keep your eyes peeled!

OTHER

*trumpets flourish* The 300,000 post thread has now reached 234,848 replies, which is up 994 posts from last month.

We can do better.

In response to Oscar's question from last month's Tainted Times...

Could someone break down DM domination? What can be done to help that?

We used to track the post count of the Black Tower forums against the total post count of the General Discussion forum, with a goal of surpassing General Discussion someday to prove the spammy might of the Black Tower is greater than that of the Mafia forum, Fiddlesticks and D&D combined.

When last compared in the August 2015 Tainted Times, General Discussion had 827,835 posts, versus the Black Tower's 666,586.

As of today, we have the following:

General Discussion - 965,211 (up 137,376)

Black Tower - 695,305 (up 28,719)

Are we up to the challenge to close this gap? CAN YOU DO IT, MY TAINTED BRETHREN?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And that is all for this edition of The Tainted Times.

Please leave your comments and questions, as well as donations of brownies and obsequious flattery below.

~ Tress, Storm Leader of the Light

July 1, 2017

*scampers in to snag a brownie*

Can't stay long! Busy day, busy day... much to do!

(don't listen to her, she's nuts)

Hi Dar'Jen! On a scale of 1 to Q, how insane would you say you are?

How insane would you like to be?

*throws around macadamia nuts like confetti*

June 30, 2017

Have you been to JordanCon befffore Tress?

I have not. I wanted to go a couple of years ago and even reserved the time off of work, but the budget was too tight to get plane tickets/hotel/transportation and all that, so I ended up taking a few days trip to Colorado to stay with my sister-in-law instead.

I am making firm plans this time and working on budgeting for it.

June 30, 2017

I am planning to be at JCon next year :biggrin:

June 29, 2017

Wolfy af

Well it's Eldrick... of course.

June 29, 2017

Cold brewing is my favorite thing right now. I prepare the coffee at night before I go to bed, then during my precaffeinated haze the most complicated thing I have to do is fill a glass with ice.

June 29, 2017

Hey, Frozen:

Creamy or crunchy?

Hmm, it depends on what we're talking about.

I thought it was implied, but coffee.

Oh, I'm not personally a big fan of coffee. The taste doesn't really sit right with me.

TRAVESTY!

*hoards all the coffee*
