Warning: Sharknado 3 and Game of Thrones spoilers ahead. But really now...

The people in the world of Sharknado will never get to see another Game of Thrones book from George R.R. Martin.

Because he was eaten by a goddamn shark.

In the latest installment of the franchise, Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No, the beloved writer and keeper of all our happiness was sitting cheerfully in a screening of Shark Wedding — which somehow involved a three-headed shark — when a massive sharknado descended upon the room.

Martin was first impaled by a shark and then his head was chomped off.

In real life, Martin is still very much alive, and, according to director Anthony Ferrante was happy to film a cameo.

"We wanted him in the movie, he wanted to be in the movie, so we went to New Mexico, and we shot it for a day,” he told THR. “He originally had a line — and we’ll add it back in for the DVD — where he went outside, shivered, and said, ‘Winter’s coming.’ But we thought about it and decided that we wanted people to watch it and go, ‘Wait, is that … Is that George R.R. Martin?’”

Martin's decision to pause the writing in the name of Sharknado was ultimately a good one as the cameo was a highlight of the film.

Now, George, let's talk about other decisions you've made that we're still not happy about...
