Look, I know this is going to get downvoted to the seventh hell by the kneelers over on the main sub, but it’s the truth. Everybody cries about Tywin being "mean" to his kids, but the man was a visionary who did nothing wrong—except maybe sparing that little demon at birth.

Think about it! Tyrion is literally an impish kinslayer who choked Shae to death Wiki of Westeros, murdered his own dad on the privy with a crossbow, and manipulated his way into power just because his feelings got hurt. Tywin tried to save the Seven Kingdoms by wanting to drown that goblin in the Casterly Rock sewers.

Instead of whining about Tywin's parenting, we need to respect the ultimate Sigma male of Westeros who was 100% justified in his hatred of that wine-guzzling, kinslaying menace. Justice for Lord Tywin!

Hear me out. We always meme about how George describes roasted capons and trenchers for 50 pages, but what if it isn’t just worldbuilding? What if it’s a confession?

Think about it:

• The Evidence: Every single POV character is obsessed with eating. "Grease ran down his chin." "Hot pie." Why is George the only fantasy author who details the exact anatomy of a cooked swan? Because he’s cataloging his victims!
• The Delay: Why is The Winds of Winter taking 15 years? He isn't stuck in a garden George R.R. Martin's Not a Blog—he's out hunting! He locks himself away in Santa Fe with a typewriter and a spice rub.
• The Clues: Wyman Manderly's secret meat pies? That wasn't just a plot device; that was George projecting his own midnight cravings onto the page! D&D knew all along and that's why they rushed the final seasons of the show—they were trying to escape his dinner table!

George isn't a gardener or an architect. He’s a carnivore. Wake up, sheeple!

Edit: Thanks for the gold, kind stranger!
