How do you sleep when you…
When you have those things in your head?

High atop the pulpit, Ser Ilyn Payne gestured and the knight in black-and-gold gave a command. The gold cloaks flung Lord Eddard to the marble, with his head and chest out over the edge.
Here, you!” an angry voice shouted at Arya, but she bowled past, shoving people aside, squirming between them, slamming into anyone in her way. A hand fumbled at her leg and she hacked at it, kicked at shins. A woman stumbled and Arya ran up her back, cutting to both sides, but it was no good, no good, there were too many people, no sooner did she make a hole than it closed again. […] Someone buffeted her aside. She could still hear Sansa screaming.
Ser Ilyn drew a two-handed greatsword from the scabbard on his back. As he lifted the blade above his head, sunlight seemed to ripple and dance down the dark metal, glinting off an edge sharper than any razor. Ice, she thought, he has Ice! Her tears streamed down her face, blinding her.

Game of Thrones Characters (Set I)
I started a simple poster series yesterday since I haven’t touched photoshop in ages. Not sure when I’ll finish, but here’s the first batch. It’s like the opening to a horrible joke that starts THREE STARKS AND A ZOMBIE WALK INTO A BAR and ends with everyone dying.

Time's Top Ten TV Episodes of 2011: (10) Game of Thrones, Baelor ›
Great source material can be a curse for a TV series. For the first several episodes of the season, adapters David Benioff and D.B. Weiss did a fine job bringing George R.R. Martin’s novel faithfully to the screen, but at times it was too faithful. About five episodes in, with the also excellent “The Wolf and the Lion,” the series found its own voice. “Baelor” was its big test — spoiler alert, though it should go without saying — in which GOT had to kill off its lead character, Ned Stark. Unsurprisingly, it stunned viewers who hadn’t read the book. But even if you knew what was coming, the exquisite final sequence was a wallop: Ned, about to have his head lopped off for being too true to his moral code, catchs one last glimpse of his daughter Arya in the hooting crowd, then sees that she has been spirited to safety. A lovely, heartbreaking chapter that sold the series’ theme: in this world, being good is not always enough.
