A song of Ice and fire discussion (spoilers incl A Dance with Dragons)

Spoiler

oh, the possibility of Jon being Azor Ahai has been discussed here, but not quite in the fashion you put there... not in relation to his stabbing and all...

If you have no trouble understanding any of the posts here, then you should have no trouble reading ASOIAF in english.

Thanks Thul!
Well, some of the post, specially when you use some slang expressions, I do not capture. But on the whole I understand all of you pretty well.
I think, I will try Game of Thrones on my Kindle. They are reasonably cheap. And if it works well, I'll start buying the english HC edition. I love hardcovers <3!

I love hardcovers <3!

I'll trade you my hardcovers for any paperbacks you have! LOL You get the better deal monetarily, yes? I get the better deal for my hands/arms!

These beings do enjoy twisting language, so it is understandable that such might be hard to get.
Since you do not have any major problems understanding regular posts, and 'thul have not noted any tendencies towards lingual errors of note in your posts, it should be no trouble at all.

A list of your fantasy-HC would be great !

Thank you, thank you (although sometimes I really don't understand. E.g. your first sentence "These beings do enjoy ..." I don't quite get. But then again - it's probably not THAT important hehe)

That is just a small quirk. it is essentially:
[name] likes playing with words and the english language.

[Valarya]

'thul never uses singular pronouns when referring to himself.

He doesn't say 'I' or 'me'... instead, he refers to himself in the plural such as 'we' or 'us' - if that makes sense.

He doesn't even really use 'we' but instead has a little quirk where he refers to himself as multiple people, or beings. The 'thul beings.

So: "These beings do enjoy twisting language."

Should read: "I enjoy twisting language."

LOL 'thul beings, I won't ask you about your quirk b/c I like it too much.

Reading a lot of thul's postings, I understand, that he is speaking of himself in, as we would say "pluralis majestatis" (These beings). Which means to germans that he is speaking of himself not in singular but in plural. That is, what kings ect. talk about themselves ("get us my favorite book and a glass of wine", hehe). So he is a king or annother mightful person . Ah, I bow my head!!!!
And now I understand it!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for your help and effort.

[fool-ish]

Lots of lovely theories there! I do have great expectations for the final installment..whenever that might make an appearance!

Actually, 'thul do not use the royal plural here... On other sites, they do use it. Not that they have a close family reason to do so. There's apparently some royal blood back a few centuries connected vaguely through a few uncertain branches on the family tree, but nothing recent.
