YouTube threw in the new trailer of GoT in my recommendations and can't say that my eyes almost twitched with plain hot incandescent irritation.
I've never watched any episode of GoT except perhaps one and that was enough for me to decide that I'll stick with the books (audiobooks more precisely), and there's stuff going on in the series that didn't even happen in the books, and that's fine, one has to take liberties and jump plot and storylines to keep a moolah raking money churner on its toes, but here's what irked me.
That there'll be a certain group of people already ahead on the know with whatever plot lines they know but no matter how different, there would still be some similarities and that these people, and I know of plenty who'll love discussing this with me, and all was fine until they were on 5th season, cuz the only spoilers happening were for them when I'd tell them of other characters not present in the series but now, I swear to god, if anyone comes up to me and tells me something that might or might not happen I'm gonna get really angry.
It's not that I'm a fan girl and spoilers are going to bother, I'm a fan of the listening and GoT is extremely entertaining, nail biting and over all an epic elaboration of all kinds of human scum; it's just that I'd not like to be aware of an incident beforehand.
It takes away from the shrieks and hurt.
Case in point a particular death in Malazan that I'd been informed of even before I started reading Malazan books, and now that I'm almost at that point and fully aware that it will happen it's bothering me, and with every page I turn I'm awaiting the demise of a beloved bridgeburner only because a darling while once discussing something about the book nonchalantly gave it away and it stayed at the back of my head.
Do I hold a grudge against it now? Sure I do..but the things I do for love and this pang too shall pass because now that I know it'll happen I won't be as heartbroken.
But when being heartbroken is the whole point one does not wish that privilege be taken, which is why I'd like to avoid all those who start discussing GoT at the drop of a helmet or at the very least I'm going to ask them to not talk about it.
What else can a girl do?
