Coming Soon: Simple Changes that Could've Fixed Jonerys

To say I have a complicated relationship with the pairing of Jon Snow/Daenerys Targaryen (aka Jonerys) from Game of Thrones is an understatement. The pairing had a lot of potential that could've made me a proud Jonerys shipper.

Yes, my One True Pairing (OTP) of Game of Thrones will always be Jorah Mormont/Daenerys Targaryen (aka Jorleesi). But I'm also a multi-shipper that doesn't have many ships I just can't stand. In short I don't care how my many ships conflict with one another.

While I can admit that Jonerys had potential, I can also admit that potential was wasted on the show. There were so many problems that made it fail but there were still Jonerys shippers that liked what Game of Thrones gave them.

There are many things I loathe about how the show portrayed Jonerys and I've ranted about it many times on this blog. Today my rant will be contained to three things that could've been changed to make this popular pairing actually good.

Blood Rites (Mini-Review)

Blood Rites is the sixth book in Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files series. Thomas Raith asks Harry Dresden for help. An adult film director is finding keeping the women around him alive extremely hard. Harry must discover what is going on in order to stop the killings. What starts out as a simple enough job turns into a hectic mess involving vampire politics and revelations about Harry's family.

The Perfect Animorphs Book for Halloween

This post was requested by members of HERE WE STAND

Animorphs is a book series about a group of six teens protecting the world from an alien invasion. The series does push what's acceptable in the Young Adult genre. Tobias is trapped in red-tailed hawk morph by the end of the first book and doesn't regain his ability to morph until later on in the series. And even then he still has to stay in hawk morph to be able to continue the fight.

There's also the Taxxons. The race is cursed with a hunger that can never be satisfied which causes them to eat anything that bleeds. That includes other Taxxons and themselves. I mean...how the heck did I survive my childhood?

Oh and let's not forget to mention the David Trilogy (#20-#22) where the Animorphs were tasked with something horrible. They had rescued David from the Yeerks and decided to enlist him in the war. But they ended up trapping him in morph because he had turned traitor.

But there is only one Animorphs book where one of the main cast is mentally and physically tortured: Animorphs #33 The Illusion.

Legends of Earth: Age of the Zodiac

Paid Promotion
Thousands of years had passed since man's patriarch, Adam, died. With his departure, humankind falls into a state of feuding tribes, competing for power and resources.

As their communities developed, it attracted the envious meddling of their arch-nemesis, Azazeel, a condemned demon vowing to dedicate his life's purpose to destroying man.

However, his goals are blocked by the Zodiac Guardians, an enhanced species, fashioned from the earth during the jinn's epic wars.

Striving to release his army, Azazeel patiently devised tactics to manipulate the Zodiacs into his evil slithering.

Concealed in the shadows, he stealthy convinced the Guardians to enslave humanity as their devoted worshippers.

As a result, four realms, powered by separate elements, were founded; earth, water, air and fire, but with the peace dwindling, a new threat began to rise.

With mankind subdued, Azazeel quickly shifted his attention to sowing the seeds of division between the united Guardians.

Fed by greed, deception, and power, the earth unveils the grand tale of twelve creatures, their race for global domination, and the permanent imprint they left on the human race...

Son of Pestilence

Paid Promotion
Sebastian Morris Reid has lived as a recluse for most of his 28 years. The self imposed isolation was necessary for protection, not for himself but for all the rest of humanity. He was born with an immune system that takes in, holds, then super concentrates any bacterium or virus he is exposed to. After reaching the highest degree of virulence, the microbes are released back into the world through his bodily oils and excretions. Any direct contact with another human would, in many cases, prove fatal. His curse is being the ultimate carrier of disease.

An obscure, vigilante organization, somehow, learns of Sebastian’s condition and convinces him to join their odd band of outcasts with the promise of helping him learn to control his body’s biochemistry. The organization sets out to right the world of other underground groups that oppose equal treatment of all those afflicted with physical or mental idiosyncrasies. Using unusual and extreme tactics, the group exists to fulfill it’s simple mission statement: ‘We Deal With Bullies'.

The Ouiums Journey: Hell Broke Loose

Paid Promotion
When Esa Blyth escaped from the pits of hell, he thought his troubles were over. Soon after his return, however, he discovered his magic and the world he’d left behind had changed.

Without his innate gift and support from covens, the ancient and powerful witch had no choice but to forge ahead.

His meeting with Skylar Lee, a dark witch with an incredible power that promises much, is a turning point for Esa. There is an awakening within him at this chance encounter, one he cannot easily explain and one that refuses to be subdued.

But as he struggles with his feelings, Esa cannot spot a twin threat to his life and to any chance of happiness he may have with Skylar.

Thegon, the diabolical ruler of hell, is not yet done with him and, aided by the malevolent Akin Tullo who will do anything to implement Thegon’s will on Earth, they plan to corrupt the government, conjure demons from the depths and dominate the realms of men.

Can Esa and Skylar find a way to stop them, save the future of mankind and their own as well?

I Completed The Secrets of Ashes Book I Chapter 2

This was the one room that I had actually spent a few weeks getting ready. Unlike the rest of the house. It wouldn't be right to just let the room remind my friend of wherever he spent his restless nights. Hopefully not in his broken down car. Though I'm sure [CHARACTER] would say there were other reasons for me spending so much time on the guestroom.
