just saw the latest epi'm not disappointed. i saw what was wrought against the targ shits and saw that it was good.
>>217794352The Dornish have never won a battle, are black and probably smell like shit.
>>217794352How the fuck do you even build this shit, with the means of that time?
According to the housethedragons twitter account (known leaker who posted audio recordings from the set of HOTD s3 that got nuked by HBO), Lucy Boynton will be playing Rohanne Webber in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms S2.
>>217794390Male280B, FossowayAA+FDon’t care for love or magic. Both are for fools.
>Here’s your castle of the wardens of the reach and second wealthiest house in the kingdom.
The Targaryens are quintessential Westerosi Duncan. They have been here for 200 years and built up the kingdoms. It is all stolen land from the Children of the Forest and the First Men anyway, nobody is a foreign invader on stolen land. They enriched our culture with their valerian recipes and customs. So yes, I think it was an accident that he killed the horse.CHEERS TO THE TARGARYENS
Targaryens more like niggeryans am I right lads
>>217794441should've gone with a natural redhead but it's fine, hope they don't fuck it up with Shiera
>>217794441Can see it.
>>217794613She is a natural redhead but she prefers to dye her hair blonde nowadays
>>217794589anon that was rather racist of you. for shame!

>>217794613When the fuck does Shiera ever appear?

>>217794441Excuse me; nani the fuck? Where are the freckles?
>>217794711ow the edge
>>217794711This ser is of the night.
>>217794711the great tragedy of the fatman never finishing the books is we will never see this faggot get his shit pushed in
HOTD seems so shitty in comparison to AKOTSK
Fuck the TarGAYryans and fuck their flying lizards
>>217794990A low water mark for the thread when anons are seething about darkstar without a hint of irony.
>>217794421Aren't a lot of the castles and shit ancient and nobody remembers?
>>217795011anon he deserves nothing but a right royal beating, like a solid break every bone kick out his teeth beating
>>217794711BASED
>>217794441>tfw they're going to spread 3 episodes of plot over 6 episodes againwon't watch
>>217795041A appropriate amount of venom. Anyways, you can try.But you'll rue the day.
darkstar is maegor targaryen kept youthful with lemonwater
>>217794991We got 2 good scenes in the whole of S2>Daemon Dark Souls in Harrenhall>Criston talking about the horrors of war after the battle
>>217795080the finding the dragons riders was a decent scene and jace breaking down in front of not monke was genuinely really well acted, but over all sure the season sucked
>>217795078Darkstar is Ashara's baby and the real Aegon standing on each other's shoulders.
>>217795064faegon will kick his teeth just you wait
>>217795131>Darkstar is Ned's true bastardDeepest lore....
>>217795063Should be interesting to see how they'll expand the story since Ira Parker said it would be even smaller-scale than S1.
>>217795099better than any GoT season after 4.
>>217795167Hopefully they fix GRRMs mistake and they bone
>>217795189He's going to find the time to write a six part blog rant about it though.
>>217795080The season set up some very big issues and had a ton of retarded shit (Blood and Cheese for example) but I think saying only 2 scenes were good is an exaggerationI liked Aegon's portrayal, for example.
>>217795235>just because someone has red hair doesn’t mean they can’t have dark brown nipples >_<
>>217795167I mean it is smaller scale, no grand tourney no dozens of knights and feasts and so on, its dunk another shitty knight and an old senile lord in what is literally called a chicken fort because its so pathetic
>>217794990I just want to read more about Bloodraven's twisted student
>>217794441I'd throat fuck her
>>217795359Euron? sure I do too but idk why this idea that he's a potential candidate for bloodravens heir got so much traction
>>217794854They can just makeup them on.
>>217795404>potential candidateFailed/rejected candidate.
>>217794990I want to know what the fuck is fake Pate/Jaqen is up to. And Marwin & Aalleras too i guess.
>>217795434w/e tomato, tomato
>>217795358>in what is literally called a chicken fort because its so patheticTo be fair, I'm pretty sure that's just what the average holding is like in Westeros. We only usually visit the most beautiful and grand locations in the setting because the plot literally revolves around the most important people and noble houses running the continent.
>>217795447jaqun is trying to steal a glass candle
>>217795467nah its pathetic, the spider ladies fort is more the norm for a lord, the chicken fort is for a landed knight not a lord
I want to see what happens in the north with the Boltons and Stannis and what happens with fAegon in the southBut I never shall.
>>217795242The copious amounts of bad in s2 just overshadows anything good from that season.Rhanyra and Alicent are the main characters and both their plots are fucking awful. Im still baffled that Condal and Hess actually expected the audiences to like Alicent after all the shit shes done.
Is Daemon fucking that Witch in season 2?
I just want more proof that Quentyn is alive. There's already a lot but more would be good.
>>217795639No, Aemond is, technicallyBut then again, the writers will stop at nothing to tarnish Aemond so yeah he might
>>217794352
>>217795735>Lords and soldiers who actively fought on the side of the Mad King get full pardons>Thorne mildly inconveniences Tywin's sack of King's Landing and gets to chose between death and the WallI'd be a prickly SOB too
>>217795496One of the challenges of adapting the Dance is making up shit for the main characters to do since they kind of just chill in their castles until it's time for them to die.
>>217795486>the spider ladies fort is more the norm for a lordColdmoat is a castle for a high lord built when the Osgreys were at the height of their power.
>>217791179>Why don't they just 3d print suits of armor instead of the power rangers shit they got going?Why not just hire medieval reenactors, who will show up with their own historically accurate arms and armor?HBO would only need to 3D print specific armor for a handful of main characters, like the Targs.
>>217795807ugly lmao
>>217795080also the scenes with PhilosophyTube
>>217795161
>>217795853sharakosissies we are SO FUCKING BACK
>>217795807>the guy in the roman shitthis fucking prick
>>217794441>Lucy Boynton will be playing Rohanne Webber in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms S2.
I like how the blacks in Martin’s world range from paradise isle peoples who avoid war and want peace and love, and to literal subhumans who eat people in a literal “green hell”. Both ends of the extremes. Hilarious.
>>217795801oh bullshit they are still a minor house, the high houses are like the dondarrions, the daynes the boltons
>>217795931What of the Naathi? They are peaceful. But their butterflies melt the flesh off your bones. Most horrific isle of all.
>>217795944It’s hard to determine which part of this world is the most horrific.
>>217795927you do realize they are already filming the 2nd season right? there is no point in pushing this fancasting osgrey is already cast you dimwit
>>217795887>"darkstar">his drink of choice is clearly something other than lemon water
>tfw blackberry bush>tfw you lose lands because of Targ shits>tfw you lose your sons beneath the banner of the black dragon>tfw your wife kills herself>tfw you were the Marshalls of the Northmarch>tfw Chequy Water
Sothoryos sounds worse than anything in the North. Flesh melting insects and cannibal creatures and giant man eating apes and blind cave lizard men and a lot worse still. Valyria MIGHT be worse if we go by the city of Mantarys and whatever happened to Aerea. The Shadowlands could be in a similar position.
>>217796033>that time the map showed Valyria as inhabited in some of George’s earlier book copiesSpooky
Why do morons think the precursors to the Valyrians were human when it’s clear they were deep one tier fish men rapists
spoonfeed meis hotd worth watching
>>217795943THEY WERE HEREDITARY MARSHALS OF THE NORTHMARCH, A HUNDRED LANDED KNIGHTS AND TWENTY LESSER LORDS OWED OBEISANCE TO THE CHEQUY LION, AND THEIR ABS WERE FORGED FROM VALYRIAN STEEL
>>217796118what senility does to a motherfucker
Imagine being a magic user in this world >be hedge wizard, calling your phony tricks and snake oil “magic” like an an asshole>be woods witch, calling your herbal tea and midwifery “magic” just to be burned at the stake >be maester, studying rare arcane lore that will amount to fucking nothing in the end>be typical alchemist, drinking mercury like an idiot, claiming it does wonders>be pyromancer, making green shit that can barely be handled >be poisoner, drugging and poisoning people like a cowardly fucking woman>be warlock, shaving heads bald and sipping blue lsd, claiming it’s real mystical insight>be red priest, staring into flames all night like a paranoid idiot, for maybe a lousy vision>be a dreamer, get dreams that want to hurt you or even kill you, or harm those you love>be skinchanger, hoping your snow bear or mountain lion won’t eat your fucking face off>be greenseer, attaching yourself to a creepy tree and having your personality raped >be crannogman, “breathing” mud like a frog and looking malnourished and worm ridden>be maegi, pray to the great shepherd you won’t be raped by horse men and burned alive>be Qohorik, sacrificing babies at an altar for maaaybe the ability to reforge magic steel >be shadowbinder, eating mutated fish from the toxic river like a huge fucking idiot Fucking idiots
>>217796115you can post good screencaps for free (You)s which is a plus
>>217796171esl retard
>>217796115Yesn'tIt has very high highs but also very low lows
>>217795943>oh bullshit they are still a minor houseThe Osgreys were rich and powerful marcher lords back in the day with four castles, Standfast being the smallest, though Gurm made it too small as a simple towerhouse considering how long everything has been around.
>>217796171>the sorcerous chud in a tower behind the black wall when his valyrian spells start working after a lifetime of nothing ever happening
>>217796258minor house
>>217795995>Chequy Water
>>217796098Valyrians or dragonlords? Because most Valyrians descend from local sheep herders, there’s nothing special about them. The dragonlord houses, on the other, are clearly some hybrid blood magic abominations.
>>217796267>minor house"For a thousand years before the Conquest, we were the Marshalls of the Northmarch. A score of lesser lordlings did us fealty, and a hundred landed knights."
>>217796098Everyone knows that they came from space in a event remembered in eastern legend as the second moon blowing up.
>>217796206I’ve always wanted this WEBM
>>217796307Read. The. World. Book. The Valyrians learned their craft from something.
>>217796339The point is—it’s Reptilians, not platinum haired Nordics. Valyrians are the victims of the aliens.
>>217796033We don't know if Aerea actually went to Valyria that was just a theory from the maester, Balerion might have taken her to Sothoryos for all we know.
>>217796262Glass candle owners are losing their minds right now. High on power. “I am a fucking wizard, after all these years!”.
>>217796325osgrey is delusional, more news at 11
>>217796381The nature of the parasites points to Valyria. The insistence on it being Valyria points to George telling us it was Valyria.
>>217796267Drown this nigga in the chequy water.
>>217790045No one bothered to respond with the obligatory copy pasta?
>>217796400There's parasites in Sothoryos as well, they don't call it the green hell for nothing:>Drinking salt water will make a man mad, every sailor knows that, but the freshwater is no safer in that place. There are worms in it, almost too small to see, if you swallowed them they laid their eggs inside you. And the fevers… hardly a day went by when half my men were fit to work. We all would have perished, I think, but some Summer Islanders passing by came on us. They know that hell better than they let on, I think.
>>217796098We know Planetos isn't Earth, so it was obviously colonized from Earth and as we don't have the technology yet, the events in Gurm's work are set in our distant future.I contend that the Valyrians were genetically enhanced humans (Khan Noonien Singh types) who conquered Earth and enslaved regular people and later colonized Planetos but at some point, they fell into a civil war that so devastated the planet, that it knocked society back into a stone age where everybody forgot their Earth origins.Eventually the few surviving Valyrians used bits of their genetic tech to create dragons and established the Valyrian Freehold but their brutality resulted in the Faceless Men, who stole some of the magical tech and (after testing it on Hardhome) toppled the Valyrians.The Red Comet is the Valyrians hollowed out asteroid spaceship on the long period orbit.
>>217796393>Eustace is wrong>bug his half-remembered account of the little lion aligns with what Yandel wrote in the world of ice and fire>he's delusional>but George's co-author goons treat everything he said as authoritativeCurious stream to die in.
Dunk is the ancestor of house clegane theory:House Parren is alive and well at the start of dunk and egg the hedge knight, their banners are seen at the Ashford tourney, but they go extinct at some point before the main series. My theory is they owned the keep that one day would be gifted to the first Clegane (This is true in the GoT crusader kings mod, the castle was called “the fang tower” I believe). I think George planned a dunk and egg story in the westerlands around this dying house where dunk would meet a kennel woman in charge of the dogs and have a fling, and his child with her is the clegane that saved Tytos Lannister from lions. I think the sigil even hints at the clegane brothers, two rogues of black repute in service to the lions
>>217796487maester propaganda will never be accepted as fact
>>217796460Not literal molten fire parasites that cook you from the inside out
You know I really feel like 80% of his problems could've been solved if he had a Barriston Selmy instead of a Cristan Cole.
>>217796531He would've caught dysentery instead
>>217796531Cristan is mega based and litterally ME. so no... no he wouldn't
>>217796531Too bad the most loyal knights went with Rhaenyra
>>217794352The bottom one is the most accurate, still looks off.
>>217796364>The point is—it’s ReptiliansCat-elves, actually. Except the ones who rejected their evil ways and became little valyrians.
>Once. Twice. Thrice.
>>217794352>is the superior depiction of the eyrie in your path
>>217794352The second one is the only one that makes sense with what they showed us. Even then the moondoor is pretty bonkers.
>>217794390you don't even know how to setup a roll what the fuck is wrong with you
If I was in the world of Westeros I’d be a shitty hedge knight and support Joffrey then Tommen and call people who say they’re bastards sickos / weird
>roberts kids are bastards dude trust
>>217794390285Major house (Lannister, blonde)PolymathRomance**I'd be throwing myself at Cersei until I get molested from the day I could walk Alternatively, I would be Littlefinger's Older Brother (called "Bigfinger") and be friends with Ned and Robert and regularly say to everyone "Would have been different if I was there", for example I would say to Ned "If I was there, they wouldn't have touched Brandon" and to Robert I'd go "Listen, lad. If I was with Lyanna in the Riverlands, Rhaegar wouldn't have touched her. Wouldn't have happened if I was there", then later to Cersei "Fucking hell, if I was at that wedding, Joffrey would still be alive. Tyrion wouldn't have poisoned him if I was there".

>support the Greens in the Dance of Dragons>support the 1st Blackfyre rebellion>support the 2nd Blackfyre rebellion>chimpout on their own with the Peake Uprising>literally kill King Maekar I TargaryenHow does House Peake even still exist?
In my opinion Dunk and Egg are cute and wholesome
>/hotd/
>>217797121The meta that they exist to be a reference to Gormenghast. It is that which both curses them and keeps them still existing.
>>217795807Did you know they did that shit for Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones?Those garbage fodder Jedi? LARPers. A very serious well-trained Jedi reenactor got really mad about it and wrote a VERY angry blog post about it because Lucas's team wasn't respecting his skills.
>>217794390>What sex? (no trans)Male, because being a woman sucks in Westeros>What family/kingdom?Blackwood, seventh son>What special attribute? Polymath level intellect (all the maester links are easy grabs)>What other skills? (take two)Magic - Old Gods GreenseerLuckGonna hang out on the Isle of Faces of and learn about magic in general.
>>217794441I would ne genuinely surprised that they wouldn't cast a negress with red hair.
>>217796381>>217796460>>217796400>>217796520And the wounds inflicted on BALERION THE BLACK DREAD, greatest of all dragons? Was that from the denizens of Sothoryos?
>>217794441Hell yeah. Lock me up in your dungeon, Rohanne!
>>217797355There's wyverns there and dinosaurs are rumored as well.>stinging manticores, tigers that carry their cubs in a pouch, terrible walking lizards with scythes for claws. Syrio Forel has seen these things.> There are reports of creatures such as pale white vampire bats that can drain the blood of a man in minutes, tattooed lizards that run down their prey and rip them apart with long curved claws on their hind legs, snakes fifty feet long, spotted spiders, and wyverns.>Like as not, the girl would prove to be some pock-faced slattern with teats slapping against her knees, her "dragons" no more than tattooed lizards from the swamps of Sothoryos.

>>217797121Same reason the Brackens are still around. Geogre needs his punching bags
George just died
>>217796279This trend of long exposure on moving water needs to end
I dislike the "Tyrion is the son of Aerys" theory with a lot of intensityI feel it completely undermines his relationship between him and Tywin
>>217797121All the failed, extinct and exiled houses that have built up over the centuries have accumulated in the golden company and will serve as George’s answer to Tolkien’s “army of the dead” to take down his version of Sauron (Daenerys)
>>217797616It actually casts the relationship in a whole new light and gives Tywin hella complexity
>>217797664Tywin is already complex.Now you just have him be right about everything including the "you are no son of mine" except he took it out on a toddler instead of selling him to some circus when he was a baby.What is gained by a third secret targ?Nothing, it only destroys any cool house lannister plots.
>>217796485This is kino, but where does the far east come into this like Yi Ti and Asshai, and all the other civilizations besides Valyria?
>>217797121They weren’t wiped out after Maekar died because the nobility alienating Egg didn’t want to be too heavy-handed in punishing them, would be my guess. Also, the Tyrells are going to suffer a huge fall from grace with Aegon’s invasion and his “friends in the Reach” which could see them restored
>>217797571>no smut Ummm
>>217796531We need to ACTSer Criston has acted.
>>217797686It’s ironic and kind of beautiful that Tywin can’t bring himself to kill the rape baby son of the only person he ever loved. Joanna probably begged Tywin to take care of him like lyanna did with Ned
>>217797711Zero sex scenes
kinda pissed they didn't show them breaking 12 lances like in the book, at least show them breaking 2 or 3 and then show they're brothers in law

>>217798665>His spells are puny and he has spent to much time sitting on top of a lighthouse with a middle aged woman that he has practically become one himself.>says Euron Greyjoy to his eldritch abomination seconds before it get pummeled to oblivion by the Hightower jaeger that was just deployed
>>217798665>Leyton Hightower is weakStrong words for someone about to get lasered from the laser beam on top of the tower
>>217798710The greatest minds of the Hightower brain trust haven't been able to light a single measly glass candle after x thousand years of trying, to the degree that they concluded that it can't be done as a institutional coping mechanism.Maybe Leyton can throw his whore daughters at the ironborn until they go away.

>>217798760The maesters say that to those who fail, while to those that manage to light the candle are accepted in the archmage circle.
>>217798810>the fucking redwynes at the endKek
>>217794352Okay I'm starting to think Preston is autistic, why do people like him again?
>>217798883>starting to think
>>217798883because he's funny and his cope is hilarious
>>217798191He has the most kooky theories and is 100% convinced they are correct. Like he gets angry when someone doesn't agree with them. Kind of an annoying fella.
>>217794421Book Eyrie is seven towers bunch together astride a mountain the size of McKinley, which is still kind of nuts but considerably less so than a completely hollowed out mountain like S1 GoT, which would take centuries.
Reading the chapters that are accounts of going up and down from the Eyrie is so brutally boring
>>217799156>Using the name Mt. McKinley
>>217799156All the older castles like Casterly Rock and Winterfell are insanely overfortified and seem to be designed to survive an apocalypse and nobody ever pouts two and two together in universe.
>>217799156I love how fucking oversized everything is in the books
It makes 0 fucking sense to build towers in the eyrieWhat the fuck are you aiming at with the highground, you're already on a stupidly hight mountain you retard you don't need thoseBuild more gates along the only road if you wna textra fortification, you stupid mongrel of a valeman.
>>217799344The eerie was designed to defend against dragon riders. The sky cells are where dragons slept. In the lore there was a war between the griffin king and the falcon king and the maesters theorize the myth could have been about dragon riders
>>217799368>To fight dragons, let's build tall structures so by attacking the base they eliminate 1/4 of the castle instead of 1/12Genius, simply genius, valemen.
TAOOBA
>>217799253
i hear theres a new got show, something about a hedge knight called al?
>>217799344It is not truly designed for fortification beyond the most last ditch bastion to fall back to. The true castle is at the bottom of the Eyrie. The lore is the Arryn king basically built it as a dick measuring competition because he thought his castle, the Gates of the Moon, was not magnificent enough compared to stuff like Oldtown. The Eyrie was designed as flex and as a summer palace.
>>217794352Has Grrm ever specified a rural/urban population split to his world? It seems drammatically urban-favored, despite the prescence of dragons seeming to provide the perfect excuse for a more rural population
>>217799599It is not urban at all. There should be more large towns in the setting based.
>>217799508Yeah, Ser Al of Poke High. Broke seven lances in a single tourney.
https://i.4cdn.org/wsg/1770327201865492.mp4I fucking love knights so much. And ASOIAF scratches that itch so well.Why are modern soldiers so meh compared to a medieval knight?
>>217799486Imagine the stairs
>>217799687The Ukraine war had some fun figures like Givi, Motorola, that leader of the PMC guy who Putin killed after attempted coup.The west isn't allowed to have war heroes anymore, too manly or something.
>>217799687expected the cool run-up to cut to Dunk shitting
>>217799729Maybe they have an elevator (big bucked on a rope) like the Eyrie
just picked this show up why was there a graphic depicting of shitting
>>217800241The director is trying to shock the audience at the start of every episode for some reason.
>>217800241>>217800295he has a fetish because he did something similar in HotD
>>217800241To shock youDo you feel shocked yet?
>>217794352Sleepy Daeron
>>217800388BASED
why is dunk good and hotd bad?
>>217800428Sticks to the books as close as possible.
>>217800428No agenda just fun
GOT S1-4 > AKOTSK > GOT S5&6 > HOTD S1 >>> GOT S7&8 > HOTD S2
THREE BRATS FOUGHT OVER A SWORD AND WHORE AND THE 7 KINGDOMS BLEDhttps://youtu.be/xPmqCVlO55k
>>217800428never felt interested in hotd for a second, but immediately picked up dunk upon getting a glimpse of the premiseidk what hotd was even about, every time i saw a picture of a clip, it was like courtroom gossip between unlikeable actors. i dont even know if it was woke but it did not seem sincere
>>217800428Because Dunk and Egg is a straight forward adaptation novella with one PoV and HotD is an adaptation of a fake history book where the fun is in the ambiguity and discerning where the lies/unreliable narration are. Also they chose three protagonists (Daemon, Alicent, and Rhaenyra) who do jack shit for 90% of the war so the show meanders with them as they desperately try to make the characters appear like they're actually doing something.
>>217800428Hotd raped the books, while dunk respects the source material (for now)On a more meta sense, some people prefer dunk in general because its more lighthearted and its just an honest to god fantasy adveture from a knight, while hotd's plot is in general a giant political war between assholes. But hotd season 1 was good so that's only a partial reason, the real issue was raping the books
>>217800496>courtroomi meant royal court aaaaahh!! im tryna watch dunk as i post
>>217800492https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWqYs2E-fW8Episode 3's ending credits was awesome
>>217798335Preston-sama...I kneel
>>217800492Hope they show the destruction the war caused, at the time of the tournament it's only been like 13 years since Daemon got killed. At least they teased it with that scene where Dunk's looting the dead at the battlefield in front of Kingslanding.
He did nothing wrong.
>nignog ValyriansFuck off, HOTD.
So in the show, the following great houses are now either extinct or effectively extinct:>Frey>Tyrell>Lannister>Greyjoy>Martel>UmberI'm sure this will not result in massive bloodshed as other houses rush to fill the power vacuum.
The history of westeros is nothing more and nothing less than the proxy war between Blackwoods and Brackens
>*does literally nothing wrong*Freys will be kings one day
>>217800978We are supposed to accept the lords of the reach will follow fucking Bronn
>>217800353yes holy shit big cock in episode 2 holy moly i basedfaced
>>217800978Oh, I also forgot the Boltons are wiped out lmao
>>217800978Lannister cadet branches still exist so they’ll get casterly rock The twins will be split between house bracken and house Blackwood on either side of the river Bronn will bumble about trying to amass more power and be killed by Hightowers Yronwoods and fowlers will fight over sunspearUmber lands will go to a new wildling house
>>217800656Kind of hot
>>217794352>>217799156
>>217800978>So in the showdon't care, nigga
>>217794574>leftist fossowaybased
it seems like george r.r martin seems to think that being tall naturally also makes you strong. realistically i think dunkacino should be DYEL as fuck at 17 because he hasnt had the time, the food or the training to grow into his body. but idk maybe westerosi humans are just mutated in such a way that their strength scales with height
A TOAST!To three STRONG asoif adaptations!
>>217796500how do we know they went extinct? it's never said in the books.
>>217796510fuck off, (((targ))) alien
>>217800492id watch a blackfyre rebellion show
>>217801154>hasnt had the time, the food or the trainingWhat do you think being a squire is?
>>217800978>GreyjoyYara/Asha is still around and will no doubt pull a Balon declaring herself independent the first chance she gets. Being queen of the Iron Islands was the whole reason she sided with Dany. When Sansa all the sudden declared the North a separate kingdom I expected Yara/Asha to do the same.
>its a targ freak gives birth to a dead lizard baby episodeGetting sick of these.
>>217801385i'm glad those inbred schizos go extinct
>>217797155the shows going well, im having fun, really liking the performances by everyone. That one shitting scene and the odd flashback editing of the first episode just threw me and a bunch of people off i think but now its on track
Why does Maester Aemon consider it a terrible thing he couldn’t help Rhaegar because they are family, even though he was equally as related to Robert Baratheon? Is he stupid? I thought it might have just been down to second names, but Ned considers Sweetrobin his family ( nephew ) and they aren’t even related by blood. Maybe it’s a Targ thing?
>>217801657aemon was going senile
>>217800241it gets ppl on social media talking, which is free publicityand to tell the audience that this series isnt about matters as serious as the others or that the scope is smaller i guessand i guess theres the bias modern ppl have that medieval peasant = filthy mud crawling poor
>>217801408Don't forget Essos is crawling with more Valyrians. Abominations for everybody.
>>217801164https://www.westeros.org/Citadel/Heraldry/George made names and sigils for hundreds of houses decades back around the time of the hedge knight to expand his worldbuilding including houses that don’t appear in the books (yet), but are still considered canon. house parren is listed as extinct but they appear in hedge knight so George probably had a story in mind
>>217801680luckily they're powerless retards and mutts
>>217801657Robert led a rebellion to totally destroy his house, consider the Blackfyres, and Robert is descended from a female line which would be regarded differently.
>>217801657Robert wasn't a targ, he proved that when he went "oh smashing babies against the wall? good, targfuckingshits"
>>217801741i'm sure aemon would realise robert didn't actually lead the rebellion and only rebelled in self-defense
>>217801753that actually sounds like targ behavior
>>217801753He never did this btw, he just justified it post hoc to keep the peace. All that shit comes in later books to discredit Robert, because George wasn’t able to get people to hate him and love his beloved Targs in book 1. Keep in mind, George has an incest and albino fetish so while these things are strange they’re not meant to be a dealbreaker. Being a macho man, however, is.
>>217801757I don’t remember him saying he had a special hatred for Robert, he just wanted to protect his house
>>217801798>hmm yes the man who ordered the slaying of babes in the cardle, I think I'll marry his daughter
>>217801798>because George wasn’t able to get people to hate him and love his beloved Targs in book 1.Or, you know, the plot develops. Two of the three main characters are Targs
>>217801801I’m pretty sure the repudiated Stannis (not to his face; though. Bitch) because he wasn’t a Targ (despite him being more closely related to him than Dany).
>>217801798Good point.>>217801812>richest man in the kingdoms who also served the previous regimeIt made sense at the time.
>>217801832>who also served the previous regimethat he just finished putting to the sword?
>>217801812Robert didn’t want to do that? It was Jon Arryn’s idea. The Lannisters were the only one of the three remaining enemy great houses to have a daughter of the appropriate marriage age, as well.
>>217801841Yes
>>217801843why is jon arryn the source of literally all evil in the world?
HOTD is fucking awful.
>>217801798>George has an incest and albino fetishThe amount of fetishes Geogre has could fill 5 books and a handful of novellas.
>>217801827Dany is the head of House Targaryen. Family dynamics in medieval dynastic structures work differently. Brienne is also presumably as related to him as Stannis, but he wouldn’t regard her with any special feeling, I think
>>217801871>tfw he'll never write them
>>217799599Grrm doesn't actually know enough about Medieval Europe to answer that question.
>>217801862I think Jon Arryn just appropriated the already existing alliance structure that was built to depose Aerys and install Rhaegar
did rhaegar really think everyone was going to be ok with him abducting the daughter of a great lord?
>>217801950targ brains just turn off when they get a dragon dream/prophecyhe got it in his head that lyanna was the key to it all and literally nothing else mattered
>>217801950No, are you aware of R + L = Lightbringer
>>217801657Targs instinctively support lawlessness, rape and mass murder
i hadnt watched any got stuff since season 8 but i came back to watch dunk. the third episode amped up and the next one is not out yet. what do i watch now that im back in a got mood?? i watched little bit of the viking show but it didnt seem as good
Anyone checked what the most popular smut pairing for akot7k is so far on AO3? I’m curious.
>>217801964>>217801970was getting caught part of his plan?
>>217802039vikings is alright there is a significant event that happens which you should stop at though
>>217802057Yes
>>217794441Not bad, was half-expecting they'd cast a nigress desu
>>217802087Well, congratulations! He got himself caught! Now what's the next step in his master plan?
>>217801950I'd understand if she's like a 1010 like Helen of Troy (GRRM probably borrowed the idea from her story in the first place). But on all accounts she was described like a 5 tops, like wtf.
>>217802138don't really matter, she belonged to her father
>>217802108To start the rebellion, so that he dies at Ruby Ford to fulfil the first part of the prophecy which states the first attempt to forge Lightbringer fails after being tempered in water
>>217802159lightbringer was at ruby ford?
>>217802198Jon Snow is Lightbringer
>>217802216he was at ruby ford? if not, how can it be an attempt to temper lightbringer?
>>217801970George is stealing from tad Williams memory sorrow and thorn in which Ineluki, the undead vengeful spirit of the sithi (children of the Forrest) brings an apocalyptic winter against mankind. His name means “lightbringer” in sithi. Azor ahai is about the children of the Forrest fighting against man (darkness). Sword tempered in water = hammer of the waters. Tempered against the lion = idk. Tempering in nissa nissa = creation of the others The others are lightbringer, and Euron is using them as his sword to be godking of the apocalypse, as the second coming of azor ahai
>>217802232Azor Ahai (Rhaegar) needs to forge Lightbringer to hold back the Others. He first tries to temper the blade in water, this is Rhaegar’s death at Ruby Ford. In his second attempt he captures a lion, this is the death of baby Aegon at the hands of Lannister agents. In his third and successful attempt he stabs the blade (his dick) into his lover Nissa Nissa (Lyanna Stark) which creates Lightbringer (Jon Snow).
>>217802342Ineluki also called himself the storm king which aligns with Euron as well
jon is just ned's bastard and dany is a street urchin from Lys
House of the Dragon had actual potential to salvage the wreck that was the final seasons of Game of Thrones. But Condal is such a piece of shit. He went o it if his way to go against George, after all he did for him.

>>217794352>What if more color filters but less color
>>217799368This doesn't add up because it was so easy for Visenya on Vhagar to enter the Eyrie whereas all other dragonless besiegers couldn't
>>217797550bro he was cut...you gotta let it go
