A bear there was, a bear, a bear!
All black and brown, and covered with hair.
The bear! The bear!

Oh come they said, oh come to the fair!
The fair? Said he, but I'm a bear!
All black and brown, and covered with hair!

And down the road from here to there.
From here! To there!
Three boys, a goat and a dancing bear!
They danced and spun, all the way to the fair!
The fair! The fair!

Oh, sweet she was, and pure and fair!
The maid with honey in her hair!
Her hair! Her hair!
The maid with honey in her hair!

The bear smelled the scent on the summer air.
The bear! The bear!
All black and brown and covered with hair!

He smelled the scent on the summer air!
He sniffed and roared and smelled it there!
Honey on the summer air!

Oh, I'm a maid, and I'm pure and fair!
I'll never dance with a hairy bear!
A bear! A bear!
I'll never dance with a hairy bear!

The bear, the bear!
Lifted her high into the air!
The bear! The bear!

I called for a knight, but you're a bear!
A bear, a bear!
All black and brown and covered with hair

She kicked and wailed, the maid so fair,
But he licked the honey from her hair.
Her hair! Her hair!
He licked the honey from her hair!

Then she sighed and squealed and kicked the air!
My bear! She sang. My bear so fair!
And off they went, from here to there,
The bear, the bear, and the maiden fair

"targs" at this point are more Dornish than Valyrian, Westeros was effectively handed over to the Dornish by Daeron. Daemon tried to save Westeros from their degeneracy but was prevented from doing it by treachery and sorcery

not shocking that the "targ" dynasty ended less than a century later and all of Westeros was corrupted by the Dornoid scum

there are some. but being called a knight doesn't mean jack shit if you don't have arms, armor, a horse, a squire, or deeds behind your name that make lords, nobles, and other knights trust you enough to hire you. that's why dunk wanted to join the ashford tourney, to prove himself in hopes a noble or someone would notice him and hire him. he's got the sword, horses, as even egg as a squire. but he's still a nobody. no one wants to hire a nobody hedge knight. it's why hedge knights have a poor reputation in the books.

in the 3rd dunk and egg novella, a hedge knight was knighted in a brothel in exchange for the knight taking his sister's virginity, and literally everyone mocks him and looks down on him because of it. everyone except goodboy dunk of course.

>unlock the secret of Aegon's Dream within the dagger
since they're bringing it up again, I think it would be good to discuss the implications of this reveal
If this is canon in the books as well, as it seems the showrunners hold it directly from GRRM, is it possible that at one point the chain of transmission of this secret was broken ? Did all the Targaryen kings knew about it or were there some who never heard it ? What would the chain king by king ? First Aegon the Conqueror (and his sisters) then Aenys. Did Maegor know ? Jaehaerys clearly knew and told Viserys whom we know told Rhaenyra but not Aegon II. In the show Rhaenyra told Jace but did she also tell Aegon III ? If he knew that would explain why while he hated dragons, he was willing to try to get them back. And then ? His sons (Daeron and Baelor) don't sound like they knew. And would have Aegon III told his brother ? Aegon IV certainly don't look like he was aware he was endowed with a world saving mission. Same question for all the kings after him
>>
So, why was Maekar's line so insane anyway?
his mother was a Martell and he married a Dayne, his children where the least inbred targs in generations.
>>
>>218285375
inbreeding is good, actually
>>
>>218285373
follow-up
Aegon IV may have told Daemon Blackfyre if he really thought he was his heir. But the Blackfyres don't really seem to know. Unless fatgon never knew. Daeron II may have know hence why he tried to unite Dorne with the realm. And he may have told Baelor Breakspear. But did Aerys I knew ? It is clear that Bloodraven knew all these things all along even though he was never an heir but Bittersteel don't appear to have been very concerned, we know he distrusted the dreams of Daemon II, why would he trust those of a king who died almost 200 years ago ? It is implied that the reason why Aerys I was so engrossed in books and scrolls is because he knew something about the prophecy. But then is it his father or Bloodraven who told him ? And Maekar ? Did he knew ? From his father or his brother or from Bloodraven ? It would be fully in character for Egg to have known maybe it was another reason why he tried to hatch dragons. We know there were talks at his court about the Prince that was Promised. Jaehaerys II knew and so did Aerys II because he married his children to have the Prince been born from their line. But Aerys clearly wasn't concerned with the prophecy. And of course Rhaegar belevied himself to be the chosen one. But it's curious at this point in time, late in the Targ dynasty, it seems it wasn't just the king and his heir who knew about Aegon's dream but the entire royal family as well as important members of the court
I understand why GRRM and Condal thought it important to include that bit but I don't think they thought enough about the difficulties it creates for the storyline

just saw ep5, it made me think how badly combat with bladed weapons is usually portrayed in film. whenever im watching true crime shit its normal that someone can tank 20-30 stab wounds and still carry on but in film its usually a slice and youre dead or some goofy shit like limbs jus getting hacked clean off through armor and gambeson

its goofy how many hits dunk takes but i think besides the ones in the head i doubt nothing would have enough stopping power to put someone out of commission whos pumped full of adrenaline and fighting for their life. its unironically only over once the adrenaline comes down and you start panicking or you become so fatigued that you lack the ability to stop someone slicing your throat

The prophecy sounds like something that gurrm came up with. But it's clearly a later invention and hard to retcon in. Almost every single Targaryan succession would have broken a king-to-heir designation.

And I doubt that what we heard in the show is what gurrm came up with. Because what's in the show would be perfect Targaryan propaganda and should best be promoted widely throughout the realm to legitimize the dynasty. Whatever the Targaryans are keeping secret in Gurrm's mind would be a dark or crazy prophecy that must be kept hidden even from most family members.

Dothraki language holds the secrets of azor ahai

Az = sword
Zhor = heart
Ahesh (the only Dothraki work with “ah” as the first two letters) = winter
Nitha = pain, and nitha nitha = a LOT of pain

The sword of the heart of winter caused immense pain. Remember when bran looked into the heart of winter and what he saw made him scream and cry?

I wouldn’t be surprised if Raymun and his new wife wind up attending the wedding in Mystery Knight. Maybe even as part of the hedge knight group Dunk befriends.

>>218286014
It's not bad writing. The whore was Dondarrion's main squeeze for most of the early episodes. She's in his tent in episode 1, outside of it too waiting for him to wake up. So they can continue his mission of populating Westeros with more redheads.

Then once Raymun became a famous knight she swoops in, and convinces the poor fool with 14th century understanding of female anatomy that she's pregnant with him. Now who could she have been fucking recently to get her pregnant? Hmm it's a mystery. The show even helpfully tells you that it's most likely A BOY, hinting at the funny but awkward truth that Raymun's heir will most likely be not of his blood. Duncan even cringes visibly at this on-camera, and the whore pretends not to know him and subtly communicates to him to keep his mouth shut. You might as well have had Dunk turn to the camera and say "seven hells, she's cuckoldin' i'm innit?"

Everyone sane understood that this is a wife's son situation, and despite so many things going well for Raymun there's sometimes weird little quirks to life where a well-meaning idiot can stay happy as long as he stays ignorant. But for some reason there is a massive amount of cope online where people invent complete headcanons about why the opposite is true, where she's not pregnant or Raymun is just playing along, and desperately trying to force those headcanons upon everyone else. Reminds me of the retards who keep insisting Maekar is only pretending that he's unaware of Egg's absence in the final scene, because they're THAT desperate to escape the realization that the show kinda fucked Maekar and Egg up through that narrative decision.
>>
>>218285632

>>218286154
Raymun is a fucking nothing, hanging around with Dondarrion is infinitely more profitable especially if she is actually up the duff with his baby.
And people in the 14th century still understood the process of babymaking, especially someone of non peasant stock like a Fossoway.
It's bad writing because it's fucking stupid and detracts from the story

>>218286154
It’s okay, anon; the whore and her bastard son die in the Great Spring Sickness. Our boy Raymun survives and marries a good woman who provides him with many, legitimate, sons and heirs. I’m off it to add it to the Wiki to make it canon.

I don't believe Baelor ever did what he did just for noblebright honour. He was obessed with Targshit reputation with the peasants and saw how unpopular Aerion had made them look. Opposing Maekar was just for Targaryen optics and to retain his own popularity as heir. Fucking Targshits.

Hanging around Dondarrion would accomplish nothing because the guy knows she's a whore and knows she's just a penis receptacle.

So, people are just cool with the idea of the direct, and sole surviving member of the Targs being let go to lead the Wildlings? No one has a problem with that? He's not to to keep his Night's Watch vows. He never cared about them or took them seriously. So obviously he's going to have a family and become the leader of the Wildings.

How is this a punishment? He gets to be free, lead his own people and gets to abandon his vows that's supposed to make sure his bloodline ends.

Yes but he's willing to PAY HER MONEY, if she has his bastard then likely he'll provide her some support, marry her off to a household knight or something, or bribe her to take moontea. Raymun is running a new cadet house while in theory being flat broke. There is no logic to the writing

Yeah, he got exiled again back to the organization he hated because the Kingdoms didn't want to deal with Greyworm and the other Danny loyalists making a huge fuss that their monarch was murdered by Jon. That was his punishment despite 'dying' again and being released, he was forced back because he committed a crime of killing Danny and the rest of the Nobles didn't want to deal with the fallout.

No noble taxing his peasantry would be required to hand 100% of the taxes over to his liege the Fossoways aren't royal tax collectors or something, like at most maybe he now has to hand over less but that's not exactly a glamorous lordship promised is it it'd just be a renegotiation of tax rates, plus it'd be a slap to the Tyrells now getting less.

A Lord outranks a landed Knight and has more legal rights. A lords holdings would include landed knights who are sworn to him but not the other way around. I think Lady Webber says at one point that as a landed knight Eustace doesn’t have the right to punish her people no matter what they do.
You would never see a landed knight sitting closer to the lord giving the feast than a visiting Lord I think.
The only thing is not all holdings are created equal. A landed knight in a wealthy part of the reach can easily have more smallfolk and income than a lesser Lord in some shitty place like The Crag.
>>
>>218286312
Two things can be true at the same time. Baelor can be both a truly honourable knight who wants to help Dunk because he knows it's the right thing to do, and he can also be an intelligent political maneuverer who realises it's a great PR opportunity for House Targaryen to stick up for the little guy. Neither motive for his actions contradict the other

I think the Targs went mad so often because much like how whites like cold and blacks might do better in the sun. The Targs are literally dragons. They build a slave empire for 5000 years killed water mages and sent them to dorne and thought Westeros was puny. If they went against the white walkers they would have won. However there arrogance cost them. So that constant conflict with the Targs being normal rulers and dragon lords is at conflict. It’s like Jon Snow but an entire family dynasty.

It is meant to be a strange decision that shows that perhaps Maekar is a stranger man than initial impressions would suggest. He's a stern asshole initially but after the Trial he is pensive and melancholic after killing his brother, thinking hard about his family and everything that went wrong. He recognizes, just like the reader is meant to recognize, that his two sons who were raised as Targ princes became bad seeds and a large part of it had to do with the fact that they were not exposed to the seven kingdoms, did not experience the dangers of the world, did not sleep in ditches and eat hard salt beef. Comfort and courtly autism damaged them, possibly.
Thinking of this, of his dead brother and his unlikely allegiance for the hedge knight, Maekar decides what the hell and makes a strangle gamble with his youngest son. Maybe the dangers of the road are an acceptable risk if the alternative is to Egg just definitely turn into a cunt like his older prince brothers did.

It's supposed to be an unusual fairy-tale decision that feels like a gamble. And Egg is ultimately inconsequential in the big picture, Maekar in the book isn't all that warm of a father and already has a bunch of kids, Egg is like 30th in line to the throne and there are too many Targs. Besides, the arrangement wasn't meant to last forever - Dunk was only supposed to take on Egg as a squire for a couple of years, with them checking in routinely and having contingency plans.

Because when HBO and its lackeys like Condal look at the Dance as a story, they don't see it for what it is (Targs at their most decadent destroying their own dynasty because they've become too stupid and haughty and their ideas of succession are utterly retarded).

They see it as an opportunity to tap into what they believe are rising demographics (chaste lesbianism and female-coded drama possibly on the rise in on-screen fiction? = Rhaenicent, masses of Dany/Targ stans still leftover after Game of Thrones = Rhaenyra as faux-Dany and the Targaryens fetishized as much as possible).

So to them, the best plan was not to tell the story as it is but use it as a vehicle for gynocentric fiction and Dany/Targ fetishism. Because they believed that's where the money and attention truly is.

Murdered to let a gay nobleman live his best life in the east, killing countless smallfolk during Aegon's coronation, only to spare the nobility, locking the dragonseed in a room while dragons roast and eat them, no fucks given. Which would be fine, if the writers weren't trying to convince us that the Blacks are the objectively "good" side.

This show has revealed to me there are many people online that like to pretend they are deep into lore, but reveal themselves to not be by trying to smugly act like they are.

What's your point? Genetics are still hereditary just following different rules. All Lannisters are blond but all Baratheons are black-haired, assuming that both of these families regularly marry into families with the opposite trait this couldn't happen in real life so the rules must be different.

>>218287877
This. Reminder the Starks trace their lineage back EIGHT-THOUSAND YEARS. It’s absurd for any of the families of Westeros to be as distinct from each other as they are.

But the real meat of this problem is the fact that GRRM can’t decide whether inherited power is silly or cool. Considering he mocks lineage and lines of succession but then makes all magic in the setting genetically heritable

Last night I was playing Nightrein with my friends, and we were fighting The Dreglord for the first time. As soon as we put him down we all started hollering “GET UP SER” and then that motherfucker actually got up and had a second phase. We lost, suppose the Seven found our taunt dishonorable.

It's actually better since it allows second sons to marry ruling ladies instead of being useless. Men still do all the martial traditions in Dorne. It's not some feminist paradise that some assume it is.

I think it's intentional, he makes a world that's skeptical of these traits but makes them real like how people don't believe in demons in 40k even they actually exist.
So there's some 'magic' or just biology that is associated with (powerful) families directly, and it coincides strongly with the legal system around marriage and names presumably because the latter is based on the former (in some long-forgotten history), or because somehow, people treating a family as such causes it to manifest that way physically.

Are ratcatchers some noble profession in Westeros that will garner universal sympathy from the smallfolk?

Are you stupid? They just acted the victim to make Aegon look like a good nice king and Rahenyra a tyrant, and he goes and hangs 100 people at the fuckIng walls. Their profession is irrelevant, everyone in the city, and probably nobles around westeros, now know Aegon is bloodthirsty and can't be trusted any more than the Rahenyra/Daemon ticket
>>
>>218288228
This >>218288269
but also rats carry plagues and steal food. Rats were responsible for wiping out 1/3 of Europes population.
>>
>>218288109
Explain how it's not? All the houses are first men/Andal in origin. They speak the Andal language not Rhoynar, they follow faith of the seven even if they're more relaxed about sex, they have knighthood. The Rhoynar adapted to Andal Dorne not the other way around. Nymeria really only introduced equal Primogeniture.
>>
>>218288269
Bloodraven litterally burned alive half of the city to stop the plague and nobody rebelled
>>
>>218288269
But Aemond taking them down amounts to an apology which is even worse

>and he goes and hangs 100 people at the fuckIng walls
he didn't hang 100, that's in the book
in the show it's like a dozen
>>
>>218288228
Disregard both of your replies they are full of shit.

They did it because they try to maintain a sense of moral ambiguity on who's right or wrong using the parallel of killing off poor ratcatchers on suspicion of attacking the royals (which would not be out of question in any sort of realistic monarchy) to counter-balance the actual attack committed by Rhaenyra. They wanted this to play out in a way that made both sides look guilty on some account.

“I’m Aegon the Conqueror. I burn people alive, but I would never ever ever ever call a dornishman a goat fucker”
>>
>>218288269
In theory the scene does make sense. It aims to show that Aegon is too blinded by rage and grief to make sensible decisions at a critical point, which rears its hand again later. It's also meant to show that Otto is incredibly frustrated by the fact that despite decades of plotting, the monarch he desired to crown turns out to not give a shit about what Otto thinks. This is a huge blow to the old man.

However they executed it in an utterly retarded way and the scene makes no sense in so many ways. #1 Otto knows how to react to shit situations and this seems like a bizarre overreaction. #2 Otto going "your father was right about you" is nonsense because in the show Vissy T never utters a single word about Aegon so we have no idea what Otto is even saying or why we should care. #3 Otto's outburst is painted as if he's 100% in the right even though he isn't. #4 The smallfolk would really not give this much of a shit. Old King Jaeherys strung up and disemboweled a shit ton of smallfolk because they harbored killers of his small council member, and nobody gave a shit. Nobody should give a shit that the king hanged a dozen smallfolk because one of them sawed off his child's head.
>>
>>218286198
>hanging around with Dondarrion is infinitely more profitable
Not unless Dondarrion is on the road for eternity, doubtless he has a wife at home.
>>
Yeah they have to make Otto go inexplicably overboard to justify Aegon firing him.

In the books, Aegon and Cole are actually competent and Otto is too safe so you can actually buy that firing him could potentially end up paying off.
>>
>>218286357
The funnier comparison is Baelor and Rhaenys
>>
>>218288438
I think what makes Otto's seething even weirder is the show's complete inconsistency in how the world reacts to scandalous events.

Kinslaying is a huge taboo. Aemond kinslaying Luke and the Greens seemingly celebrating it should brand them as vermin in the eyes of every great House. Yet nobody gave a single fuck.
Rhaenys stomping hundreds of people at a very public event like the king's coronation should be #1 news in the entire realm for the whole year, there hasn't been that kind of display of public cruelty since the days of Maegor. Yet nobody gave a single fuck.

So it's a bit weird for the show to pretend those are literally nothing but then say Aegon executing ratcatcher because one of them killing his son is somehow such terrible PR that the Greens are fucked. It's a demonstration of a type of narrative inconsistency and contrivance that should not exist in a show of this budget and production time.
>>
>>218288438
>#2 Otto going "your father was right about you" is nonsense because in the show Vissy T never utters a single word about Aegon so we have no idea what Otto is even saying or why we should care.
This happens repeatedly in this shit show. When Alicent tells someone "and you know what Aemond is" I'm just left scratching my head thinking bitch I have no clue he's had 5 minutes of screentime as an adult and his characterization is bipolar and inconsistent, what is Aemond?
Or when Rhaenys tells her dragon "we're off to battle again old girl" what battle? They've never been to any battle.
The show keeps alluding to dynamics or knowledge that it never bothers to actually depict or flesh out. It's dogshit and lazy.

Baelor went into the fight with the knowledge that all 7 of his foes are very unlikely to actually hurt him (barring freak accidents) and he took advantage of his own royal position and the Kingsguard oaths to make a mockery of the proceedings. He also didn't join the trial just out of honor, but because it was a political move to ensure house Targaryen's public image isn't ruined by the outcome of the trial.
The others went into the fight knowing all 7 opponents are out to kill them and risked their life for nothing other than honor or loyalty. Lyonel is right to be pissed at Dunk for being sad about Baelor but not acknowledging the deaths and sacrifices of others who risked way more.
