I'll Never Get Over This:
I'll never get over this:
When Kermit Tully pointed out that Storm’s End, Oldtown, and Casterly Rock were as strong as Stark’s own Winterfell (if not stronger) and would not fall easily (if at all), and young Ben Blackwood echoed him and said, “Half your men will die, Lord Stark,” the grey-eyed Wolf of Winterfell replied,
“They died the day we marched, boy.” Like the Winter Wolves before them, most of the men who had marched south with Lord Cregan Stark did not expect to see their homes again. The snows were already deep beyond the Neck, the cold winds rising; in keeps and castles and humble villages throughout the North, the great and small alike prayed to their carved wooden god trees that this winter might be short. Those with fewer mouths to feed fared better in the dark days, so it had long been the custom in theNorth for old men, younger sons, the unwed, the childless, the homeless, and the hopeless to leave hearth and home when the first snows fell, so that their kin might live to see another spring.
[...]
“Are you babes in swaddling clothes, to be cozened by flowers and feasts and soft words?” Stark berated them.
"Who told you the war was done? The Clubfoot? The Snake? Why, because they wish it done? Because you won your little victory in the mud? Wars end when the defeated bend the knee and not before."
Cregan shows up two years after the war has started, staying home because he told Rhaenyra he had to make preparations for winter so that people wouldn't starve and has the audacity to tell the lads that more war and bloodshed is needed, when not only did they participate in far more war and bloodshed than Cregan did his entire live but also had their homeland burned to the grounds by Vhagar.
The Riverlands are fucked for years because Aemond and Vhagar were burning the Riverlands for months while Cregan was in the North -being able to actually grow and harvest food.
The Riverlands lost thousands, which the lads were there for fighting among them -including all of the Winter Wolves and Cregan complains that not more people are dead.
The Riverlands are so screwed out of people Black Aly get Cregan to leave his men in the Riverlands because they need them.
Cregan says a ton of true things when coming south, but he was a cunt for that one.

I can't believe Spinaraki became canon on the last page of Boku no Hero Academia's Final Chapter 430.
I will say I generally like that Midoriya isn't denying that he killed Shigaraki, it really seemed like it in the previous chapters.
That being said: bnha is a tragedy and nothing will ever change in society is not the ending I was expecting, let alone hoping for.
Especially since the framing, artwork, conversations, translation and fan-response seems to be really ignoring it.
And that is while bhha 427 literally sais that things won't change.
That's just sad.
This is bnhas true ending. Or at least it would have been better than what we got.
Also still works surprisingly well with Shigarakis last words and all.

I wanted to keep it brief, but then I felt like it was too simple and I ended up going overboard anyway.
In 3 chapters?
I like your optimism, but I simply can't share it with so little panels and so many lose ends left.
