This is all we have at this point. 12 years of theorizing can make the mind turn to mashed potatoes, with butter, and bacon bits, and sour cream, salted to perfection.

You really never know where these streams will go, thematically. Now they're talking about why mice have tails. All these tangents. All Alt Schwift X and Glidus streams are 10/10 in my book.
Nice shout-out to Davidreadsasoiaf. I try to spread the word whenever I can about this channel, those narrations are so good. I find them far superior to the official audiobook and I would be devastated if he deletes his channel. Also its the Reach that has the southern accent and it works perfectly. Then he performs every song in the story as well, with instruments. It's pretty incredible what he did all on his own.
Loving this series! Before this series I really thought George's food descriptions were excessive and indulgent, but now I think they're excessive, indulgent, and profoundly meaningful as metaphors!
It's not the Dornish who have southern drawls--it's the Reachers and it's AMAZING. It's the exact perfect accent for those southern bells. A stroke of true genius.
2:32:20 Ah, so Jon is into monster girls. Might make marrying a whitewalker a bit easier edit: Omg Glidus's "people listen to us" and Schwifty's panicked stream ending is perfection.
An interesting note on the idea of language tending towards brevity - this is due to the fact that indo-european languages (incl. English) were horrifically complex, and have kind of had nowhere to go but towards simplicity. Many other language families are markedly less complex in comparison, and mandarin, for example, is actively becoming more complex.
can't believe they made another one on these, but the world will continue spinning, the grease chining (the verb of chin) , and the AOIAF community will continue procrastinating doing their main projects.

Feast on its own is a great introspective, retrospective, delicate dive into the minds of certain characters as their plans come to fruition and more than often fail. An excellent exploration of character development and a well earned long exhale from all the madness of prior events. It’s also fucking boring compared to the rest of the mainline books and nothing fucking happens.
I would just like to answer a question of this livestream and say that there are 4 degrees of wikipedia separation from the Asshai section of the World of Ice and Fire wikipedia page and Noam Chomsky; namely Asshai -> Amethyst -> Koine Greek -> Grammar -> Noam Chomsky
YEEEEES, I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR PART THREE!!!! How you manage to come up with this stuff AND make it so enjoyable is a testament to the great vibes, chemistry, humor and content you make together Much love from Curaçao (I listen to these while doing boring chores around the house that would otherwise make my brain go 🫠)
The publishers will be looking for a new voice for TWOW audiobook. If I had the power I’d nominate you two. Glidus throwing a tantrum in sweet robins voice was the final nail in the coffin for me.
Mr Schwift, I realize that you might not read this and also not be interested. But I'd like to recommend reading the realm of the elderlings books, as they share a lot of similar themes with asoiaf, although unlike George's work, they're finished.
One of my favourite additions that are show only was Catelyn talking to Talisa about Jon Snow. I dont know really WHY I like it. I guess it shows that Cat does feel remorse and guilt for how she treated Jon who was objectively entirely blameless for what she believed were her husbands sins. I am not saying Cats feelings arent valid. I like that she is like that, she is a human being after all. It was a well done scene!
Agreed, she recognizes what she has done in how she treated him, but can't just that last hoop to get to acceptance of him. Especially now that Ned is dead, it's likely shes trying to reconcile her feelings about the one son of his she despised. She's lost her two youngest boys and now the only two of Neds sons are Robb and Jon. And I think that scen is her trying to work through those conflicted feelings in her grief. Michelle Fairley's Cat being less hostile towards him I think works in the characters favour. That she knows its not Jons fault she hates him, but it was essier to blame him then Ned.
I might have a tasty rock to throw at ya - have you seen the show Severance? Since I've watched it my tinfoil hat has been working overtime... it only has one season so far and a bit of extra lore (season 2 is in the making), but I absolutely love the original and dark idea it's based on and the meticulous details, can't wait to discover more about that world, and hoping that you and Glimbus will catch the bug too so we can talk some theories on a livestream ^^ Also, incase you really read these comments - you are one of my favorite content creators, I might not have survived the long ass wait for winds of winter without you. Thanks for the quality, consistency and magnificent voice
43:29 Tangent but reading nahsa always reminded me of maas, which is the afrikanner pronunciation of amasi, fermented milk in isizulu, which I am fond of. Used it a lot in baking (I like to substitute it for greek or other thicker yogurts when in America/Europe which makes for a nice alternative that's still tart, but i've also been told buttermilk is similar). I remember people mixing it with milk or mieliepap when I was a child. Most definitely not an intentional parallel, but a fun little conicidence, which to me is what makes writing of all forms so wonderful.
Idk who these guys are but they're funny asf or what ASOIAF is haven't seen or read it but im hooked on these food description video series and i play it in the background while I fall asleep sometimes
that "german voice" was fucking ON POINT 2:30:40 ish. Run RIGHT OVER Glimbus...or wtfever his name was/is/will be. "Where the hell did that come from???" LOLOLOLLLOOOOOOOOL
There ought to be a "Tailoring Tier List" at this point. I recall Georgie going hard on all the cloth-of-gold, gilding, gem-encrusting, and embroidery.
These live streams have so nicely synched up with my reread of asoiaf. Last time it was ASOS when I was reading it, and now it's the same with AFFC. And I have to say, on reread, AFFC is tied for my favourite asoiaf book.
Just finished the stream now, loved it, had to comment that when Petyr tells Sansa to change, it’s out of dead Lisa’s fineries that she was very fond of. He was telling her to dress her station as “his bastard daughter”.
I can't believe we're still going with this, good on y'all for keeping up with this.. do you eat while you do this? Would that make your ranking more biased or less if you analyzed these while hungry?
>why didn't he just say hummus? Hummus is old, but it only became popular in the English speaking word in the last 50 years. Its a pretty recent loanword. GRRM is just going for an olde timey feel to his vocab, nuncle
I didn't say anything last time because I thought tons of people would have corrected you, but in Scott Pilgrim it's actually Todd Ingram that punches a hole on the moon for Ramona. Later on, Envy tells that he did the same for her, explaining why there are two holes on the moon.
One thing: sharks come in many different sizes, from the size of a person's hand to the giant whale shark. So fighting a bunch of shark-sized crabs could be no biggie.
I think what Shwifto was trying to say is that similar patterns in reality can point to a underlying fact of the matter since there is no intent so it can help you understand processes, while similar patterns in fiction moreso hint at a specific intent a creator tries to convey.
There’s no precedent for a dragon bonding with a second living rider but I don’t think they necessarily have to tie themselves in knots over avoiding it, it’s pretty obscure and not even a hard rule that’s been clearly established. If Laenor just isn’t around I think that’s reason enough for Seasmoke to remarry.
Schwifty keeps refering to "the volcryn spaceship". There is no volcryn spaceship; the volcryn is a living alien so large it is mistaken for a spaceship.
Just from the end of the stream, I'd absolutely love a video/some videos on Asimov's Foundation books (or even the entire universe from Robots through Empire to Foundation). Either that or some stuff on Le Guin's Hainish Cycle books would be cool
Guys I really do enjoy this, don’t get me wrong, it’s a treat to listen to. However I feel like the character alignment streams had potential to be your magnum opus as your thoughts on characters were insightful and comedy gold at times
Beets and beetroot: you can eat the whole plant, leaf stem and root. So if you want to specify that you are eating the root part only i.e. pickled beetroot you generally specify it.
I love that of all the schwift / glidus stream series the food one is the one that's actually going to get finished
