“There’s been a nasty outbreak of pox amongst the back room ladies. Hence their need for someone skilled in healing.”
No Maester would come to cure the source of such things. And while it wasn’t really her sort of magic, money was money.

For anyone who didn't make the connection, the Phil Daniels who stars in Wicker is the same Phil Daniels who starred in Quadrophenia. I couldn't find an image of Daniels as The Butcher in Wicker, so here is as Maester Gerardys in House of the Dragon, also set in a distant and imaginary past.

The Wight Walkers were coming, the existential crisis. And you brought Maester Ameon to fight the Night King in the 2024 elections.
Now Ramsey Bolton is the new Chief of Staff and to take back Winterfell you’re choosing Edmure Tulley and Balon Greyjoy to lead the Battle of the Bastards.

In this haus if one of us mentions an egg, the other will respond "Egg! Egg!" in the manor of Maester Aemon recalling, on his death bed, his little brother, the Targaryen king. And now SNL:UK has provided the riposte "It is egg." from Nigerian Wicked. A development in gay husband in-jokes.

I finally got a chance to start working with @merill.net Maester tool for securing M365. Holy cow is this tool excellent and exposed a lot of things I never really thought of securing as an admin of an SMB tenant.
I'm also excited to run the Maester AD Security testing suite.
Game changer.

A Maester test of mine printed System.Object[] where a sentence belonged. My README example had been wrong for two months, and 204 passing tests never piped the array once. New post:

Your Function Accepts an Array. Piping One Is Different
A PowerShell function with ValueFromPipeline runs different code when a collection is piped than passed by parameter, and the test that catches it.

you see Rhaenyra already starting to go full Maester Theorist in HotD and like...is she wrong? There are illiterate lords who heavily rely on a network of lil guys to read+write messages for them, who's to say they wouldn't take advantage to advance their own institutions political interests

And then on top of it she watched
-her mom die a horrible death in childbirth, all based on the word of the Grand Maester
-her dad die from super-leprosy while being constantly tended to by a team of Masters who seem to be making non-stop baffling medical decisions
That shit's certainly weird

Game of Thrones of all things had such a beautiful sentiment about love, don't know if it was in the book or not but that old blind maester talking about a love of his from long ago: "I can see her now, she's more real than you are."
What kind of life is a cavalcade of trinkets with sentimental value?

Just as Maester Aemond told Jon Snow. There comes a time when every man must choose Duty or Love. No hero is exempt from this philosophical challenge. Spiderman made the world forget who he was to save it. He sacrificed comfort and even his love for everyone else.
