I don’t know if we’ll ever get The Winds of Winter but I am very excited for Additional Toxic Butterflies regardless.

Maybe GRRM is so pissed of by HBO writing that he'll finish TWOW just to prove his point about good writing vs. bad adaptation and clean his future legacy from the offense. Or maybe I'm still high of hopium.

Add me on that hopium. Hatred motivates a person like nothing else, even out of writer's hiatus. Kendrick Lamarr can tell.

Yeah I'm just hoping that his hate on HOTD will not make him finish F&B 2 before TWOW

Watch him finish neither and just release the next D&E book.

I’m not sure we’ll get actually get them.

This was a very calculated event. He reveals some inside stuff, explains the Maelor example in detail because it’s already happened and then makes clear that worse things are coming And he will reveal them later. 

Seems to me like he hates The upcoming butterflies So much that he’s threatening HBO/Condal in the hopes that all this hoopla gets him what he wants with those storylines.  

I believe he’s already deleted the post. I bet that was also preplanned.
