I'm a geeky scientist from London, UK. This is a bunch of things I find funny and/or cute and/or arousing and/or interesting.

MoshiMoshiMike: So, we're supposed to like Jaime Lannister now, right?
Cause I kind of think he’s amazing.
I saw a conversation reblogged on Tumblr ages ago (that I now can’t find) between someone who’d read the books and someone who was reading the books that went along these lines:
A: “I don’t like Catelyn Stark”
B: “You will like…Having read all the books (twice) I don’t know how you can’t have loved Jamie Lannister from the start.
Although I don’t how you could ever like Queen Cersei, I’ve dubbed the series A Song of Everyone knows Cersei Lannister is a cunt except Cersei Lanniter.
It took a little while for me to fully warm up to Jaime, but once I understood his motivations better, he stopped being “arrogant incest knight who killed a king he swore to protect” and became something of a misunderstood hero.
As for Cersei, well maybe not *like* her per se, but at the very least understand her better. At one point I even felt a tiny bit sorry for her.* Having read the later books, you get a better understanding of why she is the way she is and her motivations, which makes her marginally less detestable.
*Only a tiny bit sorry for her, because wow, she did have that coming.

Which is just beyond accurate.
So, I found out the other day that Natalie Tena (who played Tonks in Harry Potter and Osha in Game of Thrones) is in a band called Molotov Jukebox and they’re really good.
My huge crush on her continues to grow unabated.
(Also, man, that is an attractive backing band)
People were wondering about why the gold melted so fast. But according to George R.R. Martin, Dothraki hybrid gold melts much more quickly than normal and then solidifies again.

Nope, still don’t buy that.
Magical fantasy realms with dragons and white walkers? Sure. Breaking the laws of physics? FUCK YOU.

So I got accosted by a street preacher earlier
He kept blocking my path, asking for donations and trying to hand me leaflets and such. He asked me if I believed in god. I said, “Of course, the one true God, R’hllor, Lord of Light! Look to your sins, the night is dark and full of terrors”.
I can’t believe this is still going round XD
