Martin replaced any passion for sex with passion for food, so all the sex scenes are purposeful and character driven, and all the eating scenes are sensual fluff.
I honestly wonder how he feels about the constant jokes in regards to his infatuation with food in the series.
Maybe he's actually responsible for a few of them?

there have been eight whole redwall books released since the last one I read
kinda tempted to assemble the whole series
The only ones you need are "Martin the Warrior," "Mossflower," and maybe "Redwall."
The rest are just the same story over and over.
I will say that I noticed the feast descriptions in the redwall books (and loved them) but never noticed them in Martin's books until people pointed them out on the internet.
The worst Redwall book was the one where there was like a stoat or one of the other 'evil' rodent races was raised by the good races and everyone was like "Oh man he is an evil species he will be evil," and I was reading it thinking "oh man I can't wait for him to show everybody that he is actually a good guy and it is the inside that counts."
and then he turned out to be (Mostly) evil.

if I had read that it would have frustrated me so much I would have quit reading the Redwall books
good thing I never started!

Well he was good for like three seconds before he died, so that's what counts.
Besides, there was the sea rat pirate in "Muriel of Redwall" who reformed after he hung out Redwall for a while.

actually that isn't all that weird, thinking about it
it kinda makes sense
dude basically just gets shit on from day one because he's a Bad Animal so he starts actually being a shitheel because fuck it, if you're going to get blamed anyway, may as well do it, right?

wait
are you sure you aren't thinking about lord of the rings
this just in, rural citizens vote against their self-interest
in other news, something else totally precedented and unsurprising happened today and we'll talk about that for far longer than it deserves
Such a good story.
Unfortunately, the first time I read it was when I was given the abridged version in high school. It cut out a lot of important things.
Like the fact that Gawain is a huge dick.
neither of these things is true
and they're both true
death of the author y'all
kinda tempted to assemble the whole series
freerepublic.com absolutely loves these unskewed polls
people there were so happy someone was finally telling the truth the lamestream media ignores
Which translation, do you know
I actually like Tolkien's
Free Republic - Where logic goes to die
Fuck You Mitt.
(Courtesy of Wil Wheaton's Tumblr.)
I remember reading one of those (probably the first), and then later I read another one that took place someplace else
And, as far as I could remember, they were the exact same fucking book except all the names were different
Nah, Tolkien was pretty forward about regretting making Orcs faceless evil monsters.
They're gonna be so mad when every single ballot machine gets hacked.
He does take the challenge when no one else will, and spends a year fighting monsters and traveling alone to find the knight
death

The racism in lotr is with the humans.
All the evil men were swarthy and dark skinned
Because there's only one right way to analyze literature, obviously.
In LotRO I made my character a Gondorian chick, with the most 'Southern' skin tone they had
So that I could be the only black chick in all of Middle Earth
i wish
that's not true at all
the Ringwraiths were white
like saruman, grima, and denethor

I will say that I noticed the feast descriptions in the redwall books (and loved them) but never noticed them in Martin's books until people pointed them out on the internet.
to be fair, saruman's switch to evil coincided with his becoming saruman the many-colored
and then he turned out to be (Mostly) evil.

But like, even little kid me read that and was like whoah this is pretty fucking racist.
Nope.
Nope.
Shut up.
Shut the fuck up.
I will have that pure and unsullied memory and you can't do a thing about it.
especially given that when he actually meets up with the bad guys he's like uhhhhh what no fuck this shit
Which part? Like how Ratigan denies he's a rat or something?
Great Mouse Detective will always be fantastic because strippers in a Disney movie
it kinda makes sense
