There’s no Way (that it’s not going there)

Notes: Hello, people.

I have no self-control, it’s okay if you judge me. I threw the idea for this work a while back here. So... It’s time to just get it done.

Have fun!

Chapter 1

Arthur didn’t need to look at Bedivere’s disappointed face to know he’d fucked up. He didn’t need to check Twitter or Facebook, or even fucking E! to know he’d said the wrong thing.

Especially because those few words were branded on his mind.

“There will always be someone to call your hard work ‘bullshit’. Never listen to them.”

Arthur might be a rockstar -even though he kinda hated the term-and have the fame of a bad boy, but he tried -quite hard -not to be a jerk.

He’d just failed miserably at that.

A few nights ago, he’d been getting out of a pub with two of his band mates. He was slightly buzzed and more than a bit irritated -a so-called fan had insistently yelled at him that Camelot had sold itself to the ‘industry’ -when they were mobbed by paparazzi.

Nimue had pulled her hood up, while Wet Stick had firmly pushed her ahead -she hated the attention of the cameras -leaving Arthur a bit behind.

Arthur hardly ever talked to the media, mostly because they annoyed him, but that night… That night he was tired and grumpy, so when they threw a question at him, he just snarked the first thing that came to his mind, which happened to be a major Freudian slip.

If he were to be completely honest, he hadn’t even heard the whole question. He just heard something like “what do you think” and one name: Sansa Stark.

Sansa Stark was the princess of pop, America’s sweetheart; she was beloved by the industry. She was a feminist and she advocated against domestic violence.

And he -stupid, tired idiot -had said, “I’m tired of this pop bullshit.” Someone recorded it and it went viral.

It was the most ridiculous Freudian slip he could have ever committed on tape. He meant to say, ‘pap bullshit’, he swore by it. But he didn’t, he’d said ‘pop’.

And the world saw it and the internet went batshit over it.

He woke up the next morning with texts from all his friends, from Bedivere and his Twitter was blowing up. It was only then he finally understood the question he supposedly answered: “What do you think of Sansa Stark singing at the opening of the Grammy’s?”

Arthur cringed.

There was way too much noise over this particular topic already. Benjen Stark was a rock legend; his band -The Watchers on the Wall -was a reference when it came to the genre; they were right along big names like The Beatles, Queen, Led Zepplin. Fuck, Arthur himself was a big fan.

However, earlier that week, it had been announced that Benjen Stark would sing at the Grammy’s along his niece, Sansa Stark, and people had gone crazy.

Benjen was protective of her. That same year, someone had found a picture of him frowning and posted it with the caption: “The face you make when you’re a living rock legend and your niece sings pop trash”. Stark, who at the time didn’t even own a Twitter account, created one just to post a picture of himself with said niece, who’d clearly just finished one of her concerts, with the biggest smiles on their faces. The caption read: “The face you make when your niece is bright and talented and you’re fucking proud of her”.

Arthur didn’t even care that Sansa Stark was singing at the Grammy’s. They could sing whatever the fuck they wanted, in whichever way they wanted. It was none of his business.

But now people thought it was.

Some of his fans were saying how proud they were of his statement and screaming their support; they said it was high time someone positioned themselves against this ‘pop bullshit’. Other fans admitted being disappointed at his retrograde attitude.

People all over the internet had many opinions about it; some saying he had a right to have his own opinion and others claimed he’d been just an asshole. There were talks of sexism, prejudice and just plain rudeness.

Then Benjen Stark himself replied to the video with “That’s exactly the type of attitude we don’t need.” To make things better, Jon Snow and Arya Stark -the lead singers of The Direwolves and Queen Nymeria respectively -had also shown their support to Sansa; which was expected, considering they were a family. The thing was, Arthur knew and liked both of them.

Arthur was already feeling like shit by that point, but then Sansa Stark decided to say something.

“There will always be someone to call your hard work ‘bullshit’. Never listen to them.”

Classy, like her. She’d never be petty or rude, because that wasn’t who Sansa Stark was; she was a lady through and through.

It made him feel even lower. Bedivere’s face wasn’t helping.

“I know.” He said before his agent could even open his mouth.

“I know you.” Bedivere told him dryly. “You’re much smarter than this, you never said anything even remotely problematic before. Why start now and like this?”

Arthur sighed. “I didn’t mean to say anything. I know it makes no difference.” He said when he saw Bedivere opening his mouth. “You know I’m not that much of a prick, Bedivere.”

Now it was Bedivere’s turn to sigh. “I do. At least you apologized.”

He’d posted a formal apology on his Facebook the day before. He’d apologized not only to Sansa Stark herself, but also to all the pop artists, and made clear he respected them all.

There had been no further comments from the Stark Clan.

Arthur took a fortifying breath. “Call your buddies.” He asked Bedivere. “Get me in touch with Sansa Stark.”

XxX

Sansa had disconnected from Twitter since she wrote her reply to Arthur Pendragon a few days back. Shae, her assistant, was taking care of all the social media problem for now. She was tired of seeing the debate over the comment, and the support and attacks from all over the place.

She hadn’t survived under Cersei’s thumb to engage in a Twitter war with Arthur Pendragon of all people.

Her whole family had been beyond offended by his comment, but those were the Starks: always united, no matter what. Arya had wanted to go on a full rant over it, but Sansa asked her not to; she didn’t want to make this bigger than it already was.

If Arthur wanted to be the though rocker with a bad attitude, he could do it without her help.

Jon had also been quite upset about it, because he knew Pendragon and liked him -as much as Jon could like anyone he knew for less than a decade. He commented he didn’t think Pendragon was the type to make comments like these, but also admitted he might not know the other man enough.

Sansa had obviously never met the man, and only knew him by reputation. There was a lot of crossed information about him: some claimed he was as much of a bad boy as he looked, others said he was a caring, laid-back guy who just happened to like heavy rock.

Sansa didn’t particularly care who he really was, as long as he left her the hell alone.

Apparently, it wasn’t to be.

She was running on the treadmill when Shae appeared beside her, lips firmly pressed together like she was trying to contain a scream, and frenetically bouncing on her feet.

Sansa stopped the machine. “What’s wrong?”

Just then she noticed the phone in Shae’s hand. “It’s Arthur Pendragon!” Shae almost squealed, hand covering the receiver. “His voice is so sexy! Can you imagine him dirty talking?”

“Arthur Pendragon?” Sansa couldn’t be more shocked if Shae said it was Cersei.

“He wants to talk to you.” Shae whispered urgently. “Do you want to take it?”

What the hell? Sansa took a deep breath. “Give me the phone.”

Shae passed her the phone and stood there, almost dying of anticipation.

“Sansa Stark speaking.”

“Hello, Stark.” The rough, accented voice called from the other side. Shae was absolutely right; his voice was way too sexy. “It’s Arthur Pendragon here.”

“How can I help you, Mr. Pendragon?” She asked, her tone of voice a thing that would make her mother proud: polite and cutting.

He cleared his throat. “Listen, I was an asshole the other day and said something monumentally stupid. I’m not about to give excuses for what I said, but I’ll apologize again. So… Anyway… Sorry. It was a shitty thing to say.”

Sansa was shocked, totally caught by surprise. She hadn’t been expecting him to say anything of the kind just then. She’d thought he’d give some half-assed excuse and apologize, but he sounded genuinely contrite.

But then again… Joffrey had sounded sorry many times as well.

“I appreciate the gesture, Mr. Pendragon.” She told him politely. “It’s very thoughtful of you.”

Even Shae winched at the frosty tone. There was pause from the other side. “Now, Stark…” He drawled. “I have the feeling you’re being sarcastic.”

She rolled her eyes, happy he couldn’t see her. “I can’t imagine why you’d think that.”

He chuckled. “Charming one, aren’t you?”

The nerve of this… “You apologized, Mr. Pendragon, and I’ve accepted it… I think we’re ‘cool’.”

“Are we?” She could her the amusement in his voice. “Good to know. Can I call you Sansa then?”

She snorted. “Dream on, Pendragon.” Sansa hung up, still hearing his laughter.

Asshole.

Notes: Ok, a few final considerations.

1- Uncle Benjen is a rock legend, but he’s a supportive uncle and nobody will convince me otherwise!

2- I’m calling the Mage Nimue, because I don’t think she should be Gwinevere.

3- This is only happening because this Arthur gives me a serious rock star vibe.

4- This is pure fluff. Honestly, I’m not even considering the real world and music industry. If you want a more faithful portrait of the reality, you’re reading the wrong fanfiction. We’re deep into my fantasy world. You’ve been warned. lol

Let me know your feelings!

Entertainment heat wave is coming this summer: What to watch for | Entertainment

New Post has been published on https://tattlepress.com/entertainment/entertainment-heat-wave-is-coming-this-summer-what-to-watch-for-entertainment/

Entertainment heat wave is coming this summer: What to watch for | Entertainment

Remember 2019, when hot girl summer became a motto for living with confidence?

Well, with life getting closer to normal and vaccines nudging the pandemic into — fingers crossed — the rear-view mirror, 2021’s entertainment calendar for the next few months has a similar mood.

Call it a hot everything summer.

Blockbuster movies are returning to theaters. Live concerts are set to resume. Television and streaming shows are back to being a nice part of the mix, not a sole entertainment lifeline. And with travel heating up again, beach books can actually be read on a faraway beach.

To navigate this soaring heat index for fun, here is a list of recommendations that are sunny, breezy, steaming and sizzling. You get the idea.

Hot Jeff Daniels summer

Michigan’s resident acting great always keeps it real — remember his plaid dad shirt at February’s virtual Golden Globes? His latest project evokes his home state’s ethos of blue-collar endurance. “American Rust,” a nine-episode series premiering Sept. 12 on Showtime, stars Daniels as the police chief of a Rust-Belt Pennsylvania town who is feeling “ticked off and kind of jumpy” when a murder investigation tests his loyalties. If the preview looks a bit like HBO’s gritty “Mare of Easttown,” that’s a very good thing.

Hot goofy summer

In real life, metro Detroit native Tim Robinson could be a calm, collected guy. But as a sketch comedian, he’s made an art form out of wildly overreacting to life’s little embarrassments. “I Think You Should Leave,” his mini-masterpiece Netflix show, is back July 6 with a second season. Besides brilliantly making himself the butt of the jokes, Robinson always remembers his hometown friends. Let’s hope for repeat appearances by his pals like “Detroiters” co-star Sam Richardson and Troy’s own Oscar nominee, Steven Yeun.

Hot retro Motor City summer

The Detroit of the mid-1950s comes alive in director Steven Soderbergh’s “No Sudden Move,” available July 1 on HBO Max. The crime drama starring Don Cheadle, David Harbour, Benicio del Toro, Jon Hamm and more is about some low-level criminals given a simple assignment that draws them into a mystery that stretches to the heights of the automotive industry’s power structure. The film was shot last year in Detroit under strict COVID-19 safety measures, because Soderbergh, who filmed 1998’s “Out of Sight” here, would accept no other city as a substitute.

Hot road trip summer

Six years ago, a young waitress from Detroit created a viral Twitter thread about a bizarre journey she took to Florida with a new friend to do some freelance stripping. It was as compelling as a novel and as vivid as a movie. Cut to June 30 when “Zola” hits theaters starring Taylour Page and Riley Keough. It’s a comedy and a thriller that defies expectations and makes J-Lo’s “Hustlers” seem mild. Director Janicza Bravo and screenplay co-writer Jeremy O. Harris have created a raunchy adventure that still respects A’Ziah (Zola) King as a strong woman and original writing voice.

Hot action dad summer

Yes, Matt Damon is now old enough to play a Liam Neeson-esque outraged father out for justice. In “Stillwater,” Damon is a worker for an Oklahoma oil rig who must travel to France to try and clear his daughter (Abigail Breslin) of murder charges. Think “Taken,” if it were a serious drama directed and co-written by Tom McCarthy of “Spotlight” fame. It comes out July 30, just in time to make Damon’s fans from his “Good Will Hunting” days feel ancient.

Hot reboot summer

It has been almost a decade since “Gossip Girl” ended its run, which is way too long to be without fashion tips from impossibly beautiful rich kids. The newly reimagined “Gossip Girl” on HBO Max arrives July 8 with some notable improvements, like the inclusiveness of its cast of newcomers. But it’s bringing back the original narrator, Kristen Bell (who grew up in Huntington Woods), as the voice of the title character with the hidden identity.

Hot sweating summer

Sweating is a bodily function, but what exactly is it all about? “The Joy of Sweat: The Strange Science of Perspiration,” out July 13, will explore the biology, history and marketing behind the moisture that makes us glow (to use a polite term). It covers everything from the role of stress in sweat to deodorant research that involves people who can sniff out, literally, the effectiveness of a product. Since the New York Times recommended the book as one of its 24 summer reads, you know that author Sarah Everts did sweat the details.

Hot Olympic star summer

The 2021 Tokyo Games, which run July 23-Aug. 8, will feature the world’s best gymnast, Simone Biles. She still enjoys competing, but quarantining gave her some time to improve her work-life balance, as she told Glamour for its June cover story (which comes with a dazzling photo spread of Biles). “Before I would only focus on the gym. But me being happy outside the gym is just as important as me being happy and doing well in the gym. Now it’s like everything’s coming together.” For the 24-year-old GOAT, the sky — or, maybe, gravity — is the limit.

Hot variety show summer

“What percentage of white women do you hate? And there is a right answer.” That was among the questions posed by internet sensation Ziwe to her first guest, Fran Lebowitz, on the current Showtime series that carries her name. Combining interviews, sketches and music, “Ziwe” deploys comedy to illuminate America’s awkwardness on issues of race and politics. The results are hilarious, so find out about Ziwe now before her next project arrives, a scam-themed comedy for Amazon called “The Nigerian Princess.”

Hot ice road summer

Take the driving skills of the reality series “Ice Road Truckers” and add one stoic dose of Liam Neeson and you’ve got “The Ice Road,” which premiered Friday on Hulu. The adventure flick involves a collapse in a diamond mine, the miners trapped inside and the man (Neeson) who’s willing to steer his ginormous rig over frozen water to attempt a rescue mission. Crank up the AC temporarily!

Hot kindness summer

There is a better way to be a human being, and he shares a name with an Apple TV+ series. “Ted Lasso,” the fish-out-of-water sitcom about an American football coach (Jason Sudeikis) who’s drafted to lead a British soccer team returns for a second season on July 23 —the date that Lasso fans will resume their efforts to be more empathetic and encouraging, just like Ted. Only there’s a new sports psychologist for AFC Richmond who seems impervious to Ted’s charms and home-baked biscuits. She doesn’t like Ted? We’re gobsmacked!

Hot podcast summer

When Michael Che guested on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” recently, his segment was interrupted repeatedly by Dave Chappelle, who kept plugging his “The Midnight Miracle” podcast available on Luminary. What Chappelle was selling is worth the listening. “The Midnight Miracle” brings him together with his co-hosts, Talib Kweli and Yasiin Bey, and his famous friends from the comedy world and beyond for funny and though-provoking conversations interspersed with music. If you were a fly on the wall of Chappelle’s home, this is what you might hear.

Hot series finale summer

The last 10 episodes of “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” start airing Aug. 12 on NBC, a too-short goodbye to one of the most underrated comedies in TV history. You can give all the glory to “The Office,” but the detectives of the Nine-Nine could go toe to toe with Dunder-Mifflin’s Scranton branch in terms of quirkiness, humanity and office romances and bromances. It’s hard to pick a favorite dynamic among the characters, but the irritated father-incorrigible son vibes between Captain Holt (Andre Braugher) and Det. Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg) are sublime.

Hot musical comedy summer

Keegan-Michael Key and “Saturday Night Live’s” Cecily Strong lead a star-studded cast in “Schmigadoon!,” an AppleTV+ series premiering July 16 that magically transports a backpacking couple to a land of 1940s musicals. Until Broadway reopens in September, this parody love letter to the power of musical theater should do nicely. And the premiere episode’s song “Corn Pudding”? Catchy!

Hot nostalgia tour

Hall & Oates are criss-crossing the nation with enough 1980s hits —”Maneater,” “Kiss on My List,” “I Can’t Go for That,” “You Make My Dreams Come True,” etc. — to make you want to trade your mom jeans for spandex leggings. As if they weren’t enough top-40 goodness, their opening acts are Squeeze, still pouring a cup of “Black Coffee in Bed” all these years later, and K.T. Tunstall, whose “Suddenly I See” is immortalized as the anthem of “The Devil Wears Prada.”

Hot all-female, all-Muslim punk band summer

A British import now airing on the NBC streaming spinoff Peacock, “We Are Lady Parts” would be notable alone for defying stereotypes about Muslim women. But this sitcom about an all-female, all-Muslim aspiring rock band is a gem of both representation and laughs, thanks to characters like Amina, a shy doctoral candidate in microbiology whose complaints about a guy she calls “Bashir with the good beard” inspires a song.

Hot documentary summer

While Woodstock has become synonymous with epic music gatherings, the Harlem Cultural Festival of 1969 is finally about to get the pop-culture recognition it deserves. “Summer of Soul: (…Or, When The Revolution Could Not Be Televised),” directed by the Roots drummer Questlove, will hit theaters and Hulu on July 2. It chronicles a mostly forgotten event that drew superstars like Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, the Fifth Dimension, Sly & the Family Stone and B.B. King. Using his vast knowledge of music, archival footage and interviews with performers and those who attended, Questlove has created a history lesson that’s also the best concert you’ve never seen before.

Hot Marvel summer

Once you’re all caught up with the summer streaming sensation “Loki” on Disney+, please turn your attention to two new films. “Black Widow,” the long-awaited star turn for Scarlett Johansson’s former KGB assassin Natasha Romanoff, makes its debut July 9. It’s followed by “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,” set for Sept. 3 and starring Simu Liu (“Kim’s Convenience”) as the martial arts master of the title. All brought to you by the corporate global entertainment domination machine that is Marvel.

Hot biopic summer

“Respect,” starring Jennifer Hudson, arrives Aug. 13 at theaters, nearly three years to the day the world lost the Queen of Soul. Although Cynthia Erivo gave a fine performance earlier this year as Franklin in “Genius: Aretha” on the National Geographic network, the odds are good that Hudson, chosen by Franklin herself for the part, will be the definitive screen Aretha.

Hot fiction summer

Terry McMillan calls “The Other Black Girl” essential reading. Entertainment Weekly describes it as “‘The Devil Wears Prada’ meets ‘Get Out,’ with a little bit of ‘Black Mirror’ thrown in.” This debut novel by Zakiya Dalila Harris mixes office politics with suspense in its story of Nella Rogers, an editorial assistant who’s the only Black staffer at a noted publishing company. When Hazel, a new Black employee, is hired, things seem to be improving. But then Nella starts receiving ominous unsigned notes. Sounds like yet another reason to keep working from home.

Hot slow dance summer

After nearly four months on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart, “Leave the Door Open” remains the song most likely to provoke a quiet storm on the dance floor. The hit single from Silk Sonic (aka Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak) may sound like a cover of a long-lost ‘70s classic R&B tune, but it’s a contemporary song that can make you forget the humidity long enough for “kissing, cuddling, rose petals in the bathtub, girl, lets jump in.”

Dipper Steps Up: Chapter 6

Chapter Index: (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

Chapter 6

When Wendy and Dipper left the Shack, the sun had just set. The night insects had not yet tuned up, but bats twittered overhead and out in the forest the woodpeckers, who didn't give up until the light was almost gone, drummed away. "Where are we going?" Dipper asked as they stepped off the trail.

"Into the woods," Wendy said. "You bring a flashlight, dude?"

"Yeah, I have one of the prototypes Grunkle Ford made."

"Good deal. I got the one I use camping. We'll need light on the way back."

In the gathering twilight they hiked on, uphill and down, skirting thickets of huckleberry, boggy growths of cobra lily, and stands of trailplant, threading their way through second-growth fir and pine forests, passing expanses of tree stumps and seedlings. "Dad logs all through here," Wendy said in one clearing, the air sharp with the scent of freshly-cut wood. She switched on her own flashlight and said, "Not far now."

Finally, they reached the cleared crown of a domed hill. Stars spangled the sky overhead, lots more than Dipper had ever seen in Piedmont, where the light pollution from Oakland and San Francisco dimmed them. No moon yet—it was gibbous and waning and, because of the recent change to Daylight Saving Time, it wouldn't rise until nearly eleven.

Creatures howled in the distance. Like the panda duck that Dipper had tried to win for Wendy, the species were indeterminate. In Gravity Falls, they might be anything. Wendy stood beside a stump and took a deep breath. "OK, dude, I know you won't freak out, but this might be rough on you. Remember I'm here for you, though. Wanna hold my hand?"

"Anytime," Dipper said. Her hand was warm in his.

"OK, Gramps, I brought him!" Wendy yelled into the night.

Dipper looked at her, but she had turned off the flashlight and he saw only her silhouette against the stars. "Huh?"

"He said not to tell you till he got here. Gramps! It's me, Wendy!"

In front of them, a greenish fog coalesced. Floating a couple of feet above the ground, it pulsed and brightened and then shrank in on itself, transforming into a hulking, bearded human figure.

"Oh, my gosh!" Dipper said. "The ghost from the Northwest mansion!"

"Dipper," the apparition moaned in its deep, rumbling voice. "I have to talk to you. I mean you no harm!"

Dipper almost sagged with relief. "No problem, sir! Wendy, I'm not afraid of him. You look a lot better, Mr. uh, Lumberjack. Your beard's not on fire, and your missing eye seems to have healed up. And the, uh, axe in your head's gone."

"I'm not haunting anyone now," the ghost explained, self-consciously straightening the blow tie it wore on its . . . beard. "I have no wish to terrify. When you're a ghost, you can take many forms."

"Dude," Wendy said, squeezing Dipper's hand, "this is Archibald Corduroy. He's, like, my great-great grandfather!"

"I wondered about that!" Dipper said. "I saw his picture in your house—uh, it's nice to meet you, Mr. Corduroy."

"You treated me well," the ghost said. "I regret tricking you and then turning you into wood."

"That . . . was sort of scary," Dipper admitted, rubbing the back of his neck.

The apparition shrugged modestly. "Well, I am a ghost."

"Yeah. Uh, excuse me, but I thought that after Pacifica let everybody in, you had gone on to, you know, your reward."

"I could not bear to leave this forest that I loved so much in life," the ghost said, gesturing with a sweep of his glowing arm that took in all the surroundings. "Also, once free of haunting the hated Northwest house, I wondered what had become of my family. I soon discovered I have a mighty descendant in Daniel, and a beautiful one in Wendy." The ghost floated next to Dipper and confided: "She likes you, boy!"

"Aw, Gramps!" Wendy said, laughing. "Cut it out, dude! Look, I brought Dipper, like you asked, so just tell him what you've got for him, OK?"

The ghost backed away from Dipper, towering over them both. "He's a brave, intelligent boy, Wendy. You could do a lot worse."

"I really like your great-great granddad," Dipper said to Wendy.

Wendy giggled. "You guys! C'mon, Gramps."

"Very well. Dipper, the root of your friend's trouble is another ghost from the past. An evil one. Well, I say 'evil,' I suppose I went a little overboard myself, but my anger branched out from the betrayal the Northwests committed against my friends and me—no, no, I'll cut that short. Forget it. I'm sorry for the bad things that came from my long hatred, leave it at that. But now an ill-intentioned spirit is trying to possess your fiend Taylor. If he succeeds, terrible things will happen. You have to stop him."

"How?" Dipper asked, his throat feeling tight.

"I'm a lumberjack, not an exorcist," the ghost said a little irritably. "You must discover the way to help. Speak to the boy's family. Seek out his mother. Tell her. She will sense the truth of what I've told you. And beware! The spirit that threatens your friend is implacable, his grip as strong as cypress roots!"

"Dude," Wendy said, "you have, like, a really good vocabulary for a nineteenth-century lumberjack!"

"Being an outdoorsman doesn't mean you have to be illiterate, girl." The ghost started to dim.

"Wait, wait!" Dipper said. "Uh, sir—who is the ghost? That would help!"

"You already know in your heart," the fading ghost said. "It is a spirit that wishes to reincarnate—for revenge!"

"Bill Cipher?"

For just a second the ghost became a little brighter and clearer. "Who? No! Think human!"

And Archibald Corduroy went out like a candle flame in a wind.

"Who did he mean?" Dipper asked in the sudden darkness.

"I'm stumped," Wendy confessed. "Man, Dipper, you took that whole thing a lot better'n I expected! First time Archibald appeared to me, I totally freaked!"

"When was that?"

"Fall, two years back, after you an' Mabes went back to California. Along in October. I was in the woods behind our house cuttin' down some deadwood for the fireplace, and there he was, floatin' right in front of me. I kinda attacked him with my axe, but that went nowhere fast. He eventually calmed me down and told me who he was and all, and said he was gonna watch over our family and protect us, and since then I never saw him again—until I started asking around about the Northwests. Few days ago, he appeared to me in a stall of the girls' bathroom at school. Now, that was awkward. Anyhow, he seemed to know you were gonna come to Gravity Falls and said I needed to get you an' him together so he could tell you something, and he said you might be scared, so not to let you know who I was takin' you to see. You weren't scared, though. Good for you, dude!"

Dipper shrugged. "Those first ghosts I ever saw, the ones in the Dusk 2 Dawn, scared the heck out of me. Mainly because of what they were doing to Mabel and your friends. But I've kinda learned that most ghosts don't want to hurt you. Who could be haunting Chuck Taylor, though?"

"Dunno, man," Wendy said. They'd both switched on their flashlights and were headed back through the woods.

They didn't talk much. But when the lights of the Mystery Shack gleamed through the trees ahead, Dipper stopped in his tracks and said, "Reincarnate. Oh, no!"

Wendy stopped too. "What's wrong, Dip?"

"No," Dipper said. "No, no, no. I hope I'm wrong."

"About what?" she asked.

He swallowed hard. "Nathaniel Northwest."

The rest of the week flew by without any substantial developments in the case. Grunkle Ford lent Dipper a few detection devices and taught him how to use them, and then Grunkle Stan drove the kids home the next Saturday.

They spent Sunday and Monday brushing up for the CAHSEE that the school would give on Tuesday and Wednesday, and to their relief, the tests didn't seem all that hard. "I hope you didn't get bored and start putting down random answers," Dipper told Mabel after the last exam ended.

"Nope!" Mabel said. "I learned my lesson after the test I took in fifth grade that said I should be busted to kindergarten."

Chuck had seemed OK, and that afternoon, their first practice since the early spring break, he recovered his playing form again, pitching hard, hitting hard, running full-out. The Thursday practice was good, too, and Dipper began to think that everything was all right again.

Saturday brought a big game with the Bay City Blues. Their win-loss record tied Piedmont's, and Coach said that the teams were a pretty close match in ability, too. The Blues had a good pitching staff, some good hitters, and typically racked up scores of five to ten points in a game. They weren't the most spectacular team, but like the Panthers they played a steady, relentless game.

Saturday morning, the game started out well. Bay City won the toss and chose to take the field. Their pitcher had game: he struck out both Mike and Petey with three pitches each, and Dipper began to think the Panthers were doomed to an early loss.

However, Chuck, looking healthy, belted out a solid double, and following him at bat, both JD and Barb managed singles, sending Chuck home for the first run of the game. Unfortunately, Jon J sent a sweet high fly ball deep into left field—and right into the fielder's glove.

Chuck's pitching began unsteadily. The first batter racked up one strike and three balls before hitting a single. The second man up got a double on the first pitch, putting the runner on third and ready to score. From the bench, Tripper watched Chuck wipe sweat from his face, kick at the mound, and then lean forward, looking determined.

Off on the sidelines, Mabel, in her cheerleader costume, acted subdued. The Panthers had a bigger crowd than ever—their away games had frankly pitiful attendance, just the kids' parents and maybe five or six students—but now the bleachers were nearly full of cheering kids and adults. Except Mabel's enthusiasm had ebbed. Dipper knew she was worrying about Chuck.

However, Chuck promptly struck out two Blues in a row. The next two batters both got on base, though, one single, one double. Then when Vance McCall stepped into the batter's box, Chuck took his time considering his first pitch. McCall was the Blues' best hitter by far.

And he proved it by pulling a low fly to far right field, where it hit and bounced, for a moment looking as if it would go straight to Petey DeFoy—but then it bounced again, taking a bad hop deeper into fair territory, making it hard to field.

McCall wound up standing on second base. The first two Blues scored, and there went Piedmont's lead. As though to apologize to the fans, Chuck struck the next guy out with three fast pitches.

Second inning began with X-Man getting a single, trying to push it into a double, and getting tagged out. However, then both Hi-Ho and Bobby made it to base—Hi-Ho successfully stealing second before Bobby's single put him on third. Dub struck out, and it was Dipper's turn.

He'd been working hard on his batting. He let a ball go by, choked up on his grip, and took a swing at the next pitch—and connected. It was a grounder, skipping just past the third baseman and running right along the foul line.

Miracle of miracles, it didn't cross the line, and Dipper made it to first! More, it took Hi-Ho home—Dipper's first RBI. For a moment, it looked like a Piedmont rally, but Big W's hard grounder was snagged by the Blues shortstop, who fired the ball home just in time for the catcher to tag Bobby out.

The Blues couldn't get anything going in the bottom half, and the second inning closed with a 2-2 tie.

The Panthers came to bat for the third inning. Coach sent Dipper and Krenk in as subs and asked Chuck how he was feeling. "I'm OK," he insisted, though Dipper thought he was sweating harder than usual. It was a dismal inning, three Panthers coming up to bat, two being put out, one getting on base, and then with Jimmy in scoring position on third base—Krenk went down swinging, one, two, three, to retire the side.

In the bottom, Chuck's pitching was noticeably slower and less accurate. Still, he held the Blues to just one run, though that put them ahead again, three to two.

Before the turnover, Coach walked out and asked Chuck, "You gonna be OK? I can pull you."

Dipper saw Chuck shake his head and heard him mutter, "I think laying off practice last week put me off my game. I'll stay in."

In the top of the fourth inning, Mike, first up, got a single, and Chuck matched it. Coach called for time out and said, "Pines, you're faster. Go in as a pinch runner for Monohan."

Though he felt a flutter of anxiety, Dipper did. He led off second, tense, ready to jump back if the Blues pitcher suddenly turned and threw to the second baseman. Like Chuck, the Blues pitcher seemed to have lost some steam, and JD blasted his first pitch into a hard liner into the gap and dug out on what looked to be a double—but the right fielder scooped it up and got it to first in time to hold him.

But Dipper, running full out, tagged third, saw the coach motion him, and, imagining the Gobblewonker nipping at his heels, blasted for home. He could hear Mabel, not leading a cheer, but just screaming "Go, Bro, go, go, GO!"

The catcher stepped up, mitt raised, and Dipper fell into a slide, raising dust. The ball smacked the mitt. Dipper's cleats touched home plate, the catcher tagged his calf, and the ump yelled, "Safe!"

The crowd went wild. Well, mostly Mabel went wild, but still. He had tied the game again, 3-all.

There the Panthers lost their luck. One man out on a pop fly, and then a double play ended their chance to pull ahead.

Chuck didn't look as if he felt well when he stood on the mound. But he bore down and struck out the first two Blues at bat—the second out was actually their first man in the rotation. Then he got two strikes past the third batter—and as he wound up for the third pitch, all at once he tottered and went down on one knee, the ball on the ground, his right hand going out to brace himself. He croaked, "Coach!"

Waylund, Dipper, and the other Panthers hustled out. "What's wrong, Chuck?" Coach asked.

"Real dizzy," Chuck gasped. "Better take me out."

The crowd applauded as Waylund helped Chuck to the dugout, and Dipper saw Mr. and Mrs. Taylor coming down from the bleachers, looking anxious. Waylund sent in Jon J as replacement pitcher, and he did his best, but Chuck's second near-faint had shaken up him and the other Panthers, and Jon J let another two Blues batters on base before the next one got a single, pulling the Blues ahead by one run. Then he pulled it together and struck the last man out.

Dipper hastily trotted in to ask Chuck how he was feeling. Chuck, huddled on the bench, shrugged miserably. "We'll take him back to the doctor," his dad said.

"Not until the game ends," Chuck said firmly. "Just a little dizzy."

It might have gone better if he'd gone then. The Panthers, keenly aware that Chuck was sick and was watching them, lost their concentration. They fought the game out, even managing another run in the top of the seventh, but it ended with a Blues win, 9-4.

Dipper had missed an easy catch and had fanned three pitches, striking out in the worst way possible. As soon as the game ended, the Taylors took Chuck away—he was walking under his own power, at least—and the team morosely apologized to the coach.

"Forget it, men," he said. "I'll stay in touch with the Taylors and get word out to you if it looks serious. Let's hope it isn't."

"We're all hoping," Mabel said. She had come into the dugout, and tears stood in her eyes.

In the back seat of the family car, as their mom and dad stood outside talking about the game—and probably Chuck's illness—Dipper said to Mabel, "I'm going over to the Taylors' this afternoon."

"I'm coming too," she said.

"If you want. Listen, do me a big favor. You get Chuck and his dad aside somehow. I have to talk to Mrs. Taylor."

"About what?"

Dipper's voice was grim: "About a family ghost."

Post about the best twenty moments from my show

from a big fan on Twitter:

Top 20 Storylines/Moments in Kirk Minihane Show History

20. Intern Nick promotes Jon from Scranton working with Entercom and Kirk explodes 4/17/20 Mike walks out

This particular show started off with a bang as Kirk promised to fire whoever made a fateful instagram post and then immediately backed down, by the end of the show Mike was so worn down he just left.

19. Kirk Is Done With Gerry Callahan, But This Time for Real? 2/16/20

There have been highs and lows with Kirk's former partner Gerry Callahan, including brilliant dissections of what Gerry continues to do on his highly rated podcast co-hosted with Dave Cullinane. Kirk blew up at Gerry's disloyalty and various negative things Gerry had done to Steve and a lot came out.

18. Kirk and Big Cat for the first time 10/8/19

Dan Katz may have abandoned Kirk in his time of need, but he is tolerably entertaining and his chemistry with Kirk would have been monetized by a competent company. There was a reunion at the Super Bowl.

17. Kirk bails on the show during Kelleher Appearance 11/1/19, plus Kirk names Kelleher designated survivor 10/28/19 Kelleher's first appearance 9/9/19

The tension between Kirk and KMS superfan Rich Kelleher makes for great radio as Kirk literally knows everything Rich is going to say before he says it. Lots of funny stuff here.

16. Menners can't handle calls, Kirk consistently hates Mayo with the storm of a thousand suns

Justin's pathetic speech to the listeners, Menners' sensitivity with his restaurant, and the fact that Kirk unblocked Mayo just to later block him again make the machinations of the show's YouTube channel ripe for comedy, including the drama over the stolen YouTube views.

15. Should Blind Mike Be on The Kirk Minihane Show? 11/27/19

The first of a continuing conversation about why Mike is bad on the show and yet Kirk can't find anyone to replace him, so just tortures him.

14. Kirk arrives in Miami to start trouble, but Dave says, "You're Just Here To Do Radio"

Kirk's frustration with Barstool began at the Super Bowl when Dave Portnoy shut down various "humorous" plans, like Mike was going to go in a drag bar and pretend it was media row, I'm sure the audio would have been awful. Kirk was completely quiet during a Rob Gronkowski interview and he and Barstool golf "personality" Riggs haven't spoken since. A monumental week of radio.

13. RA Minihane gets Abraham Hands in the Boston Globe

Kirk charged listeners to get fake stories in the Boston Globe, stories that were obviously made up but the Globe didn't bother to check out. So they published a nonsensical coronavirus anecdote from someone named Abraham Hands who was concerned about stolen pizza money. All the credit in the world to beloved parody account RA Minihane. Just an absurdly funny moment.

12. Cullen episode is TV show written by Kirk 4/30/20

Kirk quickly wrote this satire of legendary fraud Boston Globe reporter Kevin Cullen that plays out through forty minutes of an old radio serial. Great production from Steve Robinson. As Kirk said, no other podcast could do this, and no other podcast would even attempt something as ambitious. It's really amazing Kevin Cullen is still working at a newspaper.

11. Kirk goes to war with Mariah Carey's fans, the Lambily

The sheer absurdity of this feud exemplified the silly side of the show I believe they should have embraced more while at Barstool. Just madness.

10. Kirk navigates anger between Mike and Steve 12/2/19

So Kirk went to lunch with Adam Minihane and Steve, and got Steve to say a lot of things about how he doesn't like Mike on the show. The next morning Kirk brilliantly exposed Steve to Mike, sparking genuine anger between them. An episode I could listen to a million times because it's just a genius completely understanding his friends and how they relate to each other, and yet staying quiet enough to let them figure it out for themselves.

9. Blind Mike wants to be fired 1/2/20 Portnoy Hates Blind Mike 1/28/20

Mike was an intern at Barstool Sports years ago, and his whining, pitying attitude towards work and life irritated something in Dave Portnoy. Psychologists have speculated that it is something within Dave that he hates about himself; in any case, Mike's continued frustration with being hated by the place he loves is exposed by Kirk to great humor.

8. Kirk ends Kelleher and solves Pizzagate 11/12/19

When Kirk is mad he pops on with a fifty minute episode, the length he is contractually obligated to Barstool to fulfill. Here he excommunicates a big fan and destroys listeners who think the show appropriated funds meant to create a disparaging billboard of Bob Murchison. Just awesome precision of anger from Kirk.

7. Kirk and Mike make fun of Cullinane handing the show off to Steve 7/26/19

For some reason Steve took a three week vacation as soon as the show started, which left Kirk with an impressive fill-in, Boston-area producer Dave Cullinane. Here, Kirk and Mike riffed about what an English-accented Cullinane might say to Steve upon his return.

6. The Protest in Woburn Finishes Murchison, But Blind Mike Drank Too Much, Unexpected Live Show 11/4/19 Plus Steve vs. Linda Part II 11/5/2019

The Kirk Minihane Show planned a rally in Bob Murchison's hometown. Rich Kelleher made himself the center of attention, arousing Kirk's ire, and Mike was fed drink after drink by the Minifans, ensuring he was a slurred mess for an impromptu live show. This was the first indication fame was getting to Mike's head.

5. Mike and Will completely screw up disrupting Red Sox Truck Day event 2/4/20

Mike's best story on the show was the disastrous recap of his evening trying to shout down Sam Kennedy and getting kicked out of a Red Sox media event. Neither he or intern Will thought to record any of it.

4. Kirk Wanted Mike to Go on a Florida Trip But He's Busy With Alba 6/1/20-6/4/20

Intern Will and the guy behind the Latino Kirk Minihane parody account decided to go to Florida. To torture Mike, Kirk pretended he wanted Mike to go at the last minute. When Mike asked Alba to reschedule a birthday party for his work trip, she threatened to end the relationship. A rollercoaster made out of nothing.

3. Mike tells Francesa that Dave has coronavirus 3/31/20

Mike had been making tremendously unfunny calls to Francesa for a few months, but when he announced that his boss Dave Portnoy had coronavirus, Dave had to be convinced by Big Cat not to fire Mike. The complete lack of loyalty from one Erika Nardini was noted by Kirk, as he saved Mike's job again.

2. Steve's No Good, Very Bad Morning In Watertown 1/16/20, 1/17/20, plus Steve deletes missing audio 2/24/20

For some reason Steve forgot to cut up a stunt where Kirk tried to get into Fenway Park, and Kirk subjects him to two hours of listener calls. One of the funniest moments ever in radio.

1. Mike gets drunk in Madawaska 2/11/20, including Mike and the Minifans 2/7/20 and DEC's 2/7/20 appearance on the show

If Steve's Reckoning was the best Shakespearan comedy of The Kirk Minihane Show, this was its Hamlet. Mike gets drunk for the second time during a crucial live show that Kirk hilariously sited in Madawaska, Maine, right near the Canadian border. Minifans showed up anyway, but they saw a terrible show due to Mike. Kirk was so mad he banged his head against his steering wheel. In response, Kirk puts Mike through the wringer in an empathetic way.

Relating the WWE’s current business model to the UFC’s current business model---and how we may be seeing the end of the “star” era

Joey

November 13th

It's just another incident in a sea of incidents. Just another rock sized piece of hail in a storm that seems to have no immediate end in sight.

Just another case of Conor McGregor acting like a big star who has nobody to tell him no.

There will never be another Conor McGregor but not for the reasons you expect.

Bryan Alvarez and Dave Meltzer once had a discussion about the way the WWE developed and "built" stars. Alvarez asked what the thought process was behind the 50/50 booking they used and Meltzer said that at some point, you just don't want to deal with the problems of a major star. When the WWE was going through a pronounced exodus of talents they were grooming, there was a rumor that they were just determined to ensure that nobody got too big should they leave. No one person could hurt the brand, no one person could control it. The brand won out over all. It was their way of taking less money to protect themselves over the long term.

The UFC has Conor McGregor. Conor McGregor has the UFC. The two for better or worse are tied to one another for however long this MMA endeavor lasts for McGregor. There's a lot of money at stake for both parties here and that can't be understated. Having said that, let's briefly lay out some of the "incidents" we've gotten since about July of 2015 which IMO is arguably the peak of the UFC-McGregor friendship/partnership:

-McGregor's continued lateness to UFC press conferences irritates the UFC and the media.

-Conor talks more and more about wanting to be essentially a co-promoter alongside the UFC. He gets his own dais at UFC 194 with no Dana White in sight.

-McGregor compares himself to El Chapo and bitches about the UFC's promotional department at a UFC presser.

-McGregor loses to Nate, saving a UFC event by even taking a fight, and then refuses to do media for UFC 200 which in turn gets him pulled from UFC 200.

-Engages in a bottle throwing fiasco that he winds up getting fined for with some pseudo community service thrown onto the back end.

-UFC 202 he faces Nate Diaz again and wins, McGregor ultimately saying after the fight that he wants to fight for the 155 title and won't return to the UFC unless he gets a pay raise.

-McGregor after objecting to the UFC making an interim 145 lb championship hems and haws on a return to the division while chasing 155 lb gold. He wins the belt, is a dual champion and then makes it clear he's not returning to MMA unless he gets equity into the org. Dana White tells him he can buy in but Conor either doesn't or refuses or who knows.

-Since November of 2016, Conor McGregor has made 0 title defenses across two weight classes. He's had one fight against Floyd Mayweather in boxing which made a lot of money and ripped off a bunch of marks. He still has no return date announced and the rumors of him trying to fight Paulie Malignaggi in boxing suggest a return date might not be coming anytime soon. There's a very good chance his next fight is at 170 vs Georges St. Pierre in a fight that would probably piss off the boxing populace.

-Since his last UFC fight, Conor has had to battle accusations that he's a racist, a sexist and homophobic. His press tour antics vs Floyd IMO helped prevent this event from hitting the higher marks it should've due to his comments in New York which left just about everybody at least momentarily turned off on the fight. His comments to Artem Lobov after the Andre Fili fight were gross and his pseudo apology of "It was blown out of proportion but I'm sorry" didn't really help matters either. His non-apology for calling Floyd Mayweather a boy didn't help either.

-He's TWICE NOW had incidents with Marc Goddard including charging the cage and shoving him.. HE also punched at (or connected) a Bellator employee in a fit of "McGregor fans will defend anything." Bellator's security was trying to keep a non-licensed person (essentially a fan) from jumping the cage and was swung at. Whether you argue that it was dangerous or not to push Conor off the cage, and I mean it pretty much was, the guy is doing his job to the letter and got swung on. Did I mention that Bellator by the way is technically a rival organization?

And this doesn't even include the rumors of drugs or rumors of him cherry picking opponents or holding the company up for more money or w/e w/e etc etc etc. It doesn't even include him running some kind of a Q&A BEHIND a paywall during an actual UFC event and then claiming they drew more viewers. The actual things Conor's done showcase the perils of having stars. It is the very example of Mo Money, Mo Problems. Conor brings in tremendous revenue and comes with tremendous headaches along the way. All of that paints a picture of a WWE-esque future.

Hell it's NOT just Conor either so don't think I'm picking on him. He's just the best example of what happens when stars get a little bit of power and pull in a very young goof-ish sport. Jon Jones? I mean we could be here all day. The UFC was prepping to build around Jones as a superstar before a DUI, a hit and run, coke, steroids* (TWICE!) and turning down a date with Chael Sonnen at UFC 151. Jones, while away from the sport due to a HIT and RUN, was complaining about how much power the UFC had at the time. He came back and continually fucked up and continues to do so to this day. Rousey? She really was a star among stars but we all heard the stories about how she treated people from UFC staffers to media. She lost once and never recovered both in the eyes of the public and in her professional career. Think of all the money they left on the table with a second Holm fight, a Cyborg fight, a third Tate fight and even a Carano fight could they have pulled it off. The UFC was prepared to build around Chris Weidman but they couldn't figure out how and injuries betrayed him. Cain Velasquez not only continues to get hurt but every time the UFC wants to do something with him, he's either hurt or just not available. Oh and dare we be remiss, he also joined up with Bjorn Rebney's failed (I believe at this point we can say that) bid for a CAA backed fighter's org. CAA and Endeavor are not exactly on the best of terms, y'all. Stipe Miocic? The UFC's probably going to give him a bigger deal for PPV numbers that are barely above functioning level Aldo/Holloway type fights. PVZ? Well she's a headache on her own entirely. It's worth remembering she was complaining about how much she was getting paid before the losses to Rose and the Waterson fight. Now she's turning down fights and announcing title fights we're not even sure about anymore. And Waterson? They tried to build her up too and she got crunched vs Namajunas as well.

Hell think of all the NON-stars who operate like McGregors; dictating opponents, trying to push their "brand" and arguing when and where. Fans want to see Wonderboy vs Till but that's not happening. Fans want to see Rivera vs Lineker or vs Assuncao and chances are that won't happen either. Imagine how much fun it would be to see Kamaru Usman fight somebody really good and known---and realize why it's not happening. Dana White once said "this isn't how it used to be" when talking about how fighters act and approach taking UFC fights and he's right. When fighters start earning MORE money, it becomes a hell of a lot harder to get them to go on board with what's best for the company. DC has talked about champions earning way more than they did before they earned the title so why wouldn't they exercise that power? Why wouldn't Woodley try to stomp his feet for a GSP or Nick Diaz fight, rankings or common sense be damned?

So where am I going with this? Well it's worth remembering that Zuffa took the WWE model, molded it in a few ways and ran with it as their own. WME-IMG has worked with both the WWE and now own the ZUFFA product as a whole. What's to stop them from just going even further with the WWE model? Imagine if instead of doing Dennis Siver vs Conor McGregor on a Fight Night weekend based entirely around McGregor, they gave him someone like Darren Elkins or Clay Guida as the second prelim fight on the card. Imagine if instead of doing big promotional pushes or putting dudes in fights in their home market, they just buried them on Fight Pass. What if they made everybody on the same level, save 2-3 guys they could trust, and then just went with it? They're not going to lose money because TV revenue is the ultimate bandaid. A guaranteed x amount of dollars every year from x amount of markets will cover up any weaknesses in the product. The UFC likely starts every year with a tremendous amount of immediate cash flow from TV deals and that's not going to change going forward EVEN if the TV money market crashes. The best way to prevent a star from taking over your product is to just have no stars or just rob said stars of any sort of strength within your organization. If this debt situation gets too much, an IPO is always an option It's worth noting that even in a bad year in terms of buyrates and ratings, the UFC's value went UP as an organization and Endeavor's stock has also risen after the purchase of the UFC. That's very much on the stars who help m ake the product---but if the product is made then when do you need stars? At what point is there no advil strong enough for the headaches?

It's not like the UFC has competition breathing down its neck either. People love to espouse Bellator but their numbers are down and until you can prove to me how social media metrics equal millions, I ain't about to hear about twitter buzz. WSOF is now the PFL is now graveyard programming on youtube. Combates Americas is getting a chance on NBCSsports but if the UFC leaves Fox to head there (and there's a chance) then what the hell is their future? Overseas is great and all but what Rizin does once month out of six is irrelevant to the UFC's business. Same for KSW.

We all agree that McGregor and Rousey and company have changed the way the UFC is seen and operates. We may learn that there's a chance it may not have been for the better.

Asked Sancho Panza."The ones you can see over there," answered his master, "with the huge arms, some of which are very nearly two leagues long.""Now look, your grace," said Sancho, "what you see over there aren't giants, but windmills, and what seems to be arms are just their sails, that go around in the wind and turn the millstone.""Obviously," replied Don Quijote, "you don't know much about adventures.” ― Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Don Quixote “

<p>7 surprisingly sweet moments you may have missed in this week's 'Game of Thrones.'<br></p>

[ad_1]

Welcome to “A Track of Nice and Fire” Upworthy’s weekly sequence recapping a person of the most brutal shows on Tv set. Since brutality is not seriously in our wheelhouse, Eric March has taken it on himself to dig deep, twist and change, and squint seriously challenging to see if he can come across the mild of kindness in all the darkness. He may perhaps not usually do well, but by gosh if he won’t test his ideal.

Here’s what he identified on this week’s "Activity of Thrones."

Someone's obtained a situation of the Mondays! Impression by Macall B. Polay/HBO.

This show'll break your coronary heart. Even with the forces we feel we are kinda possibly supposed to be rooting for (sorta? It truly is maddeningly unclear) on the march, a good deal of terrible stuff even now manages to take place on "Activity of Thrones," not occasionally to characters you only just begun to treatment about (RIP Dick Tarley).

Still, it truly is not all unstoppable frozen killing machines, deadly intellect video games, and brilliant younger men slash down in the primary of youth.

Below are the silver linings and genuinely nice times you may perhaps have skipped:

one. Drogon shows restraint by not burning practically every little thing and all people.

Excellent exhibit, you men. Impression by Macall B. Polay/HBO.

Incinerating a couple of treasonous lords is just a different Tuesday for everybody's beloved flying flame-thrower. This time, even so, Drogon experienced the impeccable manner perception to depart Dickon and Randyll Tarley's classy cloaks powering. How do you say "which is progress!" in Higher Valyrian?

Afterwards, the deadly dragon demonstrates even further chill by accepting a facial area rub from Jon and, even extra importantly, not having and/or barbecuing him (the King in the North, it consistently turns out, is family members, but even now).

Yeah, Drogon roasted thousands of men to death just past 7 days, but whichever. You gotta figure ... when it will come to a giant, amoral, fire-respiratory dragon, it truly is gonna be two techniques forward, a person stage back.

two. The outdated men in the North acknowledge that Sansa wears that wolf queen cloak really damn very well.

Over the earlier various episodes, we've started to get the perception that sure, duh, Sansa is in fact superior at this lording factor. It truly is a revelation that at last can make its way by way of the thick, arbor red-addled skulls of some assorted outdated northern and Eyrie lords who appear to understand this 7 days (a minimal too late, men!) that they kinda wish they voted for the capable, savvy girl when they experienced the prospect.* Even Arya at last acknowledges that becoming the manager looks to agree with her sister, even if she does so grudgingly and passive-agressively with a whiff of "be thorough I never stab you."

Positive, Sansa's a minimal power hungry (usually are not we all?), but becoming a wee little bit shifty, while not becoming an outright psychotic assassin is just the proper posture for the Westerosi ruler who would not want to get shivved, beheaded, burned alive, flayed, eaten by dogs, or some worse factor that, expensive God, I hope would not get deployed in season eight.

Inasmuch as any one can "obtained this" on "Activity of Thrones," Sansa has obtained this. And men and women are at last figuring that out. Slow, but constant, all people!

Excellent, too, on Masie Williams for enjoying their full conversation like the world's most irritated minimal sister — the distinction with the (considerable) stakes was A+.

*You will find a lesson in this article. It truly is going more than my head, presently.

3. Cersei enables Jaime some bro time with Tyrion.

Queen gotta get her "staring blankly into the middle distance" in. Impression by Helen Sloan/HBO.

Positive, she suspects Tyrion murdered their father (real!) and her son Joffrey (untrue!), but she appreciates Jaime has a soft spot for his valonqar, she likes Jaime, and, hey, it truly is nice for the two of them to get to hold out just before the baby (the baby!) comes.

Also, it never ever hurts to supply a minimal timely intelligence on your biggest geopolitical foe and change it to your advantage. But ... you know, details. Jaime and Tyrion obtained their bro time!

four. Arya and Littlefinger get rid of some time enjoying hide and seek!

Skulking all around a frozen castle, drilling with swords, hauling grain, and attempting not to get killed by ice zombies can be demanding. What superior way to relieve it than with a entertaining, pleasant activity the complete family members can delight in?

It truly is a little castle, but Petyr Baelish and the tiniest, most murder-y Stark are each naturals, natch. And while neither finds the other, Arya does uncover a sweet notice Sansa wrote dwelling (under duress) way back in season a person, urging her brother (RIP Robb Stark) to pledge his loyalty to the Lannisters! What are the odds?

(Even pausing proper on the body, it was upcoming to unachievable to make out what this notice in fact, you know, reported. Credit rating to Twitter consumer Daemon Blackfyre for accomplishing the outdated gods' get the job done in this article).

The notice they built Sansa produce to Robb right after Ned was betrayed. #ThronesYall http://pic.twitter.com/3MSnFxjutv

— Daemon Blackfyre (@Dpzzle) August fourteen, 2017

5. Really considerably all people is seriously placing that teleporter to superior use!

Westeros is around the dimensions of South The united states. Still, this season, and this episode primarily, men and women feel to get all around seriously, seriously fast. Like the Dothraki past 7 days, Jamie two months back, and Jon just before that — fundamentally all people everywhere has been zipping across the continent at lightning speed, petting dragons a person minute and stalking ice zombies the upcoming. Going from glowering all around a rocky island fortress to glowering all around a distant blacksmith shop and back to glowering on that rocky island in what looks like an hour-and-a-50 %.

Even though gradual-burn character growth has its position or whichever, we are on season seven in this article, men and women! Quickly-forwarding this stuff is a marked improvement on earlier seasons when characters would commit seventeen episodes chatting and using horses, conquering neighboring cities, or going for walks from a person castle to a different pretty-comparable searching castle, like, five miles absent.

Mad props to whichever time-traveler noticed in shape to fall by and introduce quantum teleportation to the Seven Kingdoms. It truly is a superior glimpse.

But we wouldn't want to get too ahead of ourselves, which is why it truly is super nice that...

6. Sam (unintentionally) preserves some perception of tale pacing.

Fellas, we've all been there. Your girlfriend discovers your ideal buddy is in fact the trueborn heir to the Iron Throne, as a result resolving the complete puzzle of the complete exhibit, but you are unable to be bothered because you might be mad about some dumb stuff going on in your private everyday living.

**what it truly is like becoming a girl** GILLY: this is the biggest reveal of the season it says— SAM: could you shut up I am worn out of this let us go

— Dana Schwartz (@DanaSchwartzzz) August fourteen, 2017

Yet, with all people blasting themselves to and fro more than the written content to get that plot stuff performed, it truly is heroic of Sam to slam on the brakes a minimal in this article for the viewers, even if it necessary becoming unreasonably rude to Gilly in the approach.

Hey, at the very least Very little Sam receives to learn how to examine!

7. The gang places apart their distinctions!

This terrified striding will exhibit 'em. Impression by Helen Sloan/HBO.

Yeah, it sucks that the a person male (Beric Dondarrion) offered the other male (Gendry) to a murdering witch, and that the 3rd guy's (Jorah's) dad's occupation was to get rid of all of a different guy's (Tormund's) good friends and that however a different male (the Hound) applied to get the job done for the family members that killed the male the sixth male (Jon) thinks is his dad but isn't. But credit score to The Hound for politely pointing out that none of that issues, and seriously, they ought to all be good friends and emphasis on acquiring a option to the real head-scratcher: what to do about the horde of going for walks lifeless men and women slowly but surely staggering forth to get rid of them all.

When you've obtained a recommendation in a group environment, it truly is usually nice to set it respectfully. Cheers to The Hound for personifying course.

Random functions of niceness:

Davos gives these two gold cloaks some free, natural and organic Westerosi Fermented Crab Viagra just before Gendry brutally war-hammers them to death. Hope it was an pleasant past couple seconds!

Varys expresses some regret for becoming adjacent to so a lot of murders. Factors, I guess.

That is all for now! Be a part of me upcoming 7 days when, with any luck ,, Cersei aces baby yoga, a doubled-more than Littlefinger clarifies the complete foolish prank to Sansa and Arya and the Night time King phone calls the full factor off right after knowing eternal everyday living is really great on its personal with no possessing to get rid of a bunch of mortal beings to sense superior about your self.

5. If you were drunk would the person you like take care of you?

I would definitely hope so.

7. Do you think you’ll be in a relationship two months from now?

I would sure hope so. And it would be a major surprise if I wasn’t.

8. Who from the opposite gender is on your mind?

Not yet but we’re slowly getting there!
