ems' blabs



2/29/24

I gave 10 years of my life to this game when I had nothing else ~ as pathetic as it sounds.. In saying that, however, I have things in my life now that take priority over TEF. A healthy and active relationship, a multitude of pets that take up most of my time if I'm not in the city with my wife or we're not gaming together on her off time. Rarely do I get to sit and pour myself fully into TEF like I did 4 years ago (and for the 10 previously), and as much as it saddens me, I'm glad it's happened while the game is slowly dying by the creators and how small the community has become. I find myself writing lore and stories of my own characters, meeting each other and adventuring with each other. I don't rely on anyone else or expect it from anyone else anymore. I think most players are comfortable in their circles and don't feel a need to expand it or open it up fully, and that's ok (truthfully branching out and trying to expand has barely ever worked for me). Everyone is owed comfort and security. I think my place within TEF has slowly been leaking out and eventually I feel like my time completely will come to an end. I enjoy writing for my characters, but I dont need TEF for that if I feel like I am doing it all within my own head. I've always loved writing, even as a young teenager.

YUCK ANYWAY that was a tldr; tef is slowly dying no matter how much we'd like to believe it isnt and im glad it's happening now when I have things to live for outside of it and am not 'prisoned'

I AM SO UPSET!! I balled. I cried ALL of the tears, Jo, ALL OF THEM. How dare they do that to my Lady.
Also, I knew a certain someone died before I watched but that other someone who died was TOTALLY unexpected. I am furious, sad, disgusted. I'm not used to beloved characters dying, Jo. I do not want.

I'm not at the episode with

I'm not at the episode with Jaime and Cersei yet but I can say that I strongly remember it being consensual in the book when I was reading it, if angsty. The show's been adding a lot of sexual stuff (for instance, there's a pretty horrifying scene somewhere in season two with some prostitutes and Joffrey that was never in the book) and making what was already there more... gross, for lack of a better word. I dun get it. Sad

No doubt they add more

No doubt they add more content like that to make it more errr interesting? to a certain audience. The prostitute parts with Joff did take me by surprise as they weren't in the books. But I suppose the series needs to add more to explain the characters better, such as making Joffrey out to be a huuuuuge dick. The series also strays from the books in some ways just so there is enough content in the episodes like adding the scenes with Theon. The parts with Theon took me by more surprise than the prostitutes omg.

SO, my guess is they made it more 'rough' with Cersei and Jaime to show how desperate Jaime was for her. I assume, because you can't read their thoughts like you can in the books aha.

Ems you personal blog is now a chat for GOT okay cB

@Aquilo: I adore Lady Stark..

@Aquilo: I adore Lady Stark.. one of my favourite characters and it was heart wrenching.

@Alison: I HEAR THAT! When I'm watching with my friends, one who is up to date with the episodes, and I say "Oh I like so and so" she'll be like "Ahhh" which will have me following up with "WHAT DO YOU MEAN AHH? I SHOULDN'T LIKE THEM?!" It's so hard because he does make such compelling and interesting characters. Like Cersei, I love to hate her, but also hate that I love her. That's a good character, imo.. speaking of Cersei..



Going to put it in a div so people that don't want to read, don't have to









Yes I read a lot of articles, and even G R.R saying himself it was consensual in the books and I think I even read a small part of it as well.
In the series though it's shown a lot different. From when it happens to where it happens. I think when it happens is a really big thing. In all honesty, they should have left it out of the series because it just doesn't really make sense, especially the dialogue that was said from Cersei. Like.. there was slight underlining angst, but she was clearing saying no and struggling from the beginning, and even a bit up until the scene blacked out.
Like I said, I had no problem that it was in the show, it just upsets me when the writers are clearly calling it everything else than what it is.
If they had of went how it played out in the book, I don't think there'd be such controversy around it. But they strayed quite a bit off the books path with that precise scene.

I haven't read the books, so perhaps that's why certain things haven't been too 'wow' for me, but I think I'm pretty sure I know of the Joffrey & prostitutes scene you're talking about. A lot of the stuff I know is from my friend I'm watching it with. She's watched a few times, is reading the books and keeps kind of up to date with fandom/interview stuff, so that's how I knew about the Cersei/Jamie controversy.

I've heard a theory about the

I've heard a theory about the show that HBO has a certain quota of nudity/other stuff that must be met, which is why in season one almost every naked scene is used to have characters talking to each other to unsubtly give the viewers information that was originally just part of narrative. I've considered timing it episode by episode to see if there's a minimum amount of time that certain body parts must be visible to HBO subscribers (like anyone subscribes to HBO).

From what I've heard they're kind of moving away from naked exposition nd trying to make it more "interesting" (read: controversial and gross), but idk, I just want my exposition. I'm the person who groans and tells the TV to "get on with the story" when shirts come off.
