>Pic relatedWhy is GRRM so lazy?
Move over got, it's fishtank time!
>>218515359Season 1 is good, all things considered. It's not until season 2 that things get retarded.So don't feel bad for enjoying season 1, anon.
>>218515403Wow, that's unfair. He did much more work than that. He also added a mirrored Cornwall as Dorne.In fact, you could explain all of Westeros just as a mirrored Great Britain. Obviously the flipped Ireland is still in there as well ofc.
>>218515359The first few episodes of season 1 of HotD are ok. And there is one (1) good moment later on as well.
>>218515359The first season is ok with some bad aspects. It's the second season that's very poor.

>>218517854I hate that I know this was written by indians
>>218517891If you look at >>218515403 it seems Martin took a cornwall-like peninsula, flipped it around and put it on the bottom of Westeros to form Dorne.
>>218517895you'll find out when you are older and your balls have dropped
Wait, they are actually friends?This show is so fake
is homobaiting really a thing with british zoomers? I thought that died off with millenials
>>218518029? are you under some weird impression they were trying to kill each other irl? are you maybe retarded?
>>218518029Ive watched the entire thing waiting for them to kiss and makeout. It looked gay and wholesome.
How good of a fighter is Bronn supposed to be?
Let's say TWOW comes out next month. How many months will this general last?
>>218518162Depends on how much you pay him.
>>218518180years, decades, it will never die regardless it just might take a break now and then you simply don't understand what is dead may never die

>>218518098the irony
>>218518312the idiocy
Times when book Dunk was smarter>Doesn't need to be told that he can't participate on the first day of jousts>After the Trial, takes Egg as squire without Daeron's urgingTimes when show Dunk was smarter>Deliberately sneaks into Ashford castle and eavesdrops on Baelor/Maekar instead of stumbling into itI think overall Show Dunk was dumber. I'm not sure I like it that way. They also gave some of his observations or lines to Egg ("The luck is ours alone" line is said by Dunk but prompted by Egg)
>>218518180Why are the discussions here and not /lit/?
>>218518206oh ok so if you give him like a few copper stars he'll get killed
>>218518180How fast would you guys read TWOW if it should come out (which it will never)? Even if it's a tome like ADWD I'd probably read it in two days, just nonstop reading from dusk till dawn. Thankfully I'm neet.
Beeneath the honey, the bitter sting
>>218518487>Times when show Dunk was smarterSecretly sneaking up on the government and royal elite to spy on them is not smart. Dunk should have been killed on the spot by guards, or arrested and tortured until he confessed to something.They kept Baelor's lines from the book ("we are the intruders here") which make no sense in the new show context.
>>218518611Just turn to the last chapter then come on here and spoil it for everyone
>>218518487as its all from dunks pov in the book a bit of sharing with egg is fine imo, just don't over do it, same as the interaction with tanselle it's been well done, so far, so much of it is in dunks head they have to find ways to say it without having a dreary voice over, they've found a fine balance hopefully they keep and improve on it going forward
>>218518644thanks preston, baelor is talking about being an intruder at ashfords castle, he has no idea who dunk is at that point as far as he knows dunk is one of lord ashfords retainers
Take heart, sweet Beesbury. I will handle the Kingsguard.
>>218518674you've never read a single asoiaf novel have you? the last chapter has never been the most important, thats not the way the books work, the last chapter is usually from some random secondary who we have never gotten a pov from before, they matter but they are stingers for the next step in the story
>>218518727>Beesbury and Hardyng die in the first charge, Daeron also takes the fall>Dunk and Aerion are having a 1v1 pretty much the entire time we see them on screen>So are Raymun and Steffon>Baelor and Lyonel are 1v2ing Maekar whenever we see themThis means that Robin Rhysling was handling 3 Kingsguard members by himself the entire time
Can't fatman just hire a bunch of writers to brainstorm ideas for unfucking the bloated subplots?
>>218518822no lyonel was fighting one of the kings guards you can see it briefly, then he goes to help baelor. The one kings guard that didn't appear at the funeral got fucked up by lyonel. So, Rhysling was handling 2 of the kingsguards by himself the 2nd half of the fight, while baelor and lyonel fought maekar trying to keep him away from dunk. Just sheer broship and honor from lyonel and rhysling, fucking targ shits
>>218518822Baelor took down at least one
>>218518723Preston might have said so too, but it's still true. In the book Dunk goes back to the manager's office and is surprised to have stumbled into the royals. Baelor then gracefully says not to worry and that he himself is the intruder here.In the show however Dunk deliberately sneaks through the castle cellar and then up to the lord's solar where he hides behind the door and spys on the Targs. It is a very retarded scene.
>>218518920The problem with twow is not any kind of plot engineering (that's solvable), and it's also not that grrm is a perfectionist who endlessly rewrites the same page (he wrote all of asos in like a year). That's just the excuses he has in public.No, the real reason is that grrm has abandoned writing and has given himself to a life of hedonism. He doesn't want to write anymore.
>>218518822>Robin Rhysling was handling 3 Kingsguard members by himself the entire time
>>218518928yes I am well aware how it goes in the book, however the line "we are intruders here" works just fine in the show as well if you stop to think about it for a second.
>>218518924this nigga was unbelievably based
>>218518162Tyrion says Bronn is almost as good a swordsman as Jaime, though that might be Tyrion blowing smoke up Bronn’s arse as Tyrion’s trying to persuade him to be his champion against the Mountain. Catelyn says he fights like a panther and Cersei calls him a straight up killer rather than fighter. Clearly a capable fighter, and more than willing to do whatever it takes to give himself an advantage in the fight.
>>218518162very
>>218519054Why didn't Egg just say straight away that he was a squire and didn't steal the horses?
>>218519284He's a dumb kid who thinks there are nine kingdoms.
>>218519284because he had no idea who that was until he figured out it was rhysling, could've been some random bandit an assassin anyone really
>>218518974GRRM's claims of a "meereenese knot" keeping him from finishing the story always annoyed me. just have the characters leave meereen and move the fuck on
>>218519424>brings war, plague and chaos to your city>gets tired of governing and leavesNot my problem.
>>218519424I think he wants to end Dany's stay in Essos with the burning of the Black Walls in Volantis to mirror Harrenhal but he still has no idea why or how Dany will do that
>>218519424You don't understand. We NEED more scenes with Kraznyz mo Neklaz and Graznyz no Paznaz.
You guys in here seem all very well read and educated, so I'm asking you: What should I read to calm my asoiaf withdrawl? I need another series of fantasy books that are deeply immersive and engaging. Having deep lore is a plus, but only if the books earn your interest with a good story first. By a good story I don't mean teenage angst or relationship drama or gay stuff like that. Of course the most important requirement is that they're finished. I would also like there to be lots of rape and sexual slavery, if possible.
>>218520070First Law, Malazan or Black Company.>Dead body found floating by the docks.
>>218520070My diary.
>>218519600Didn't he say he killed off too many people to do that in a non retarded way or was that revealed to me in a dream
>>218520157yuh baysed
>>218520070Joe AbercrombieRobin HobbGlen Cookits pretty much the standards, of Course thier is the GOATROBERT JORDANbut he died and the greatest of all time series was finished by a hack
>>218520070If you want something very long, Wheel of Time.
What /got/ opinion has you like this?
>>218520585Isn't that like 30 books?
>>21852066614 iirc, though each book is long.
>>21852066613, 14 if you count the short prelude story, incidentally a short story that was the reason gurm wrote hedge knight, various authors were asked to write short stories et in their worlds, Robert Jordan was the headliner, Gurm was a newb, in a sense, RJ and Stephen King were the big names Gurm wrote hedge knight to be included in the compliation.
>>218520627could you maybe reword that in english?
>>218520794*14, but 15 if you count the prelude short story
Imagine its 2015 again
>>218520627>Tywin Lannister is a Machiavellian genius!
>>218520971ozempic has been a disaster for the human race
>>218520627i like the battle of the bastards
>>218520997He was until he got sniped on the privy
>>218520070>>218520098Black Company is great, but I think Cook's Dread Empire series is more similar to ASOIF
>>218521177Tywin isn't a Machiavellian. Machiaveli's philosophy is simply to do whatever is appropriate to win, which includes being generous and merciful when you can be. Tywin is completely ruthless at all times and actively harms his family's future due to his own spiteful and bitter nature, all his children are disasters and he tainted the Lannister name forever by supporting House Frey in the Red Wedding. Martin clearly wants to get this point across by going into detail about how much Tywin's corpse was stinking out the room during his funeral. The show and Charles Dance's performance made him seem lile far more of an impressive man than he actually is in the books
>Fiery Dornish Peppers
It seems like the NW can have a horn of ale or a tankers of hot mulled wine whenever they want isn’t it weird they’re not reeling drunk all the time?Most armies and Navys seem to expend a lot of time and energy keeping their lowborn trash sober and the NW is rougher than most
>>218521671It's probably heavily watered down or rationed
>>218517764>he
>>218521671The NW seems to be a very relaxed organisation, all things considered. You get the impression they have way less oversight than you would expect for a foreign legion penal battalion. I belive when Jon is still going through basic training he decides to sleep alone in an empy building insted of the communal barracks, because he doesn't like the other recruits. He's a volunteer and still free to leave at that point, but it seems all rather relaxed.
Imagine how useful something like the nights watch would be irl. somewhere to send all your undesirables you don't have room to lock up
>>218523189You mean like a forced labour camp?
>>218523189Actually have a question about this, in real life you can track criminals with photos, fingerprints, card transactions, so on. But why and how would the Night's Watch, a place filled with criminals, even work in a medieval setting where there's basically no proper authority around to maintain it and they elect their fellow prisoners as leaders? Everything about the Night's Watch feels like them making an easy rebellion or being able to run from it enough to hide away somewhere.
>>218523325the norf doesn't put up with that shit basically, its in the first chapter ffs, a deserter gets his head chopped off no questions. One thing you have to try and understand is that everyone knows everyone else in towns and strongholds and so on. a stranger showing up lets say he even did somehow get clothes that aren't all black, everyone would be wondering where the fuck this guy came from
>>218523325Shit like that has happened over the years where Lord commanders have tried to go off the reservation or theres been a couple rival people both claiming the title. The criminal element is also a lot larger by Roberts time than it used to be. There’s also officers to corral everyone its really only the Lord commander that is elected and he appoints head ranger, etc. Historically armies and navys have always had their share of impressed men and sooner or later discipline is always drilled or beaten into them. Running away is also hard because any of the northern lords that find you crossing their land are going to want to know who you are and where you came from and would probably peg you as a deserter very quickly even if you managed to be wearing something other than black.
>>218523189A labor camp where we arm the prisoners?
>>218523189>>218523325I belive we've mentioned this before, but Bret Devereaux has a great article on how unrealistic this part of the NW is:https://acoup.blog/2024/08/16/fireside-friday-august-16-2024/ The tldr is that the NW is a large, standing, cohesive and well organized unit of professional soldiers. What motivates them to freeze to death on the Wall in celibate poverty? There's no reward after service, because service is for life. And they apparently also don't hope for reward in heaven, seeing as the NW (like all of Westeros) is weirdly secular. So why don't they just mutiny in force? >InB4 there have been a few rebellionsYeah, a few. But the system is depicted as otherwise stable. Just forcing them to be there with even greater military force (like Wagner blocking units behind the penal battalions) doesn't sound like a stable system for centuries, doesn't explain how comfortable most of them seem with their job, and would also kind of defeat the purpose of a seperate NW to begin with.
>>218523632Yeah its been posted and derided as retarded
>>218523632this bret guy might just be retarded as >>218523528mentioned, armies were normally made up of petty criminals whos only chance was to mke a life in the army or navy or try and run away and die, thats where classic pirates came from since the pacific got out of control with the east india company, money people not military started taking control of the situation, thats when things got fucked and you had deserters but you might notice even then those pirates weren't runnig home or making a new life in a different town etc. why? because they were fucking criminals and their home wouldn't take them back and communities that didn't know them weren't going to let them in, its die by execution, starve in the wilderness or live as a drafted solider. Your "great" article moron is a fucking idiot and I don't even have to read it to know that.
>>218523820But your example about pirates is exactly the point. Pirates DID run off to do their own operations with the hope of settling down somewhere nice.
>>218523953did you even read the post? the pacific pirates during the time of the east india company were an anomaly and still were unable to integrate into existing communities, or go back to their own. The only place pressed sailors could run away to was other criminal gangs.
>>218523632Bret stop posting your stupid article. The way you post that dumb link has been the same every time. No one reads it or cares.
>>218523953>hope ofand that right there is the answer to your question. even the most ideal of circumstance it was just a hope one that never worked out, we can now discuss people like jesse james and billy the kid if you'd like, notice how far we've come from medieval times and it still doesn't work out.
>>218519284Egg enjoys creating chaos and misery everywhere he goes
>>218523632>So why don't they just mutiny in force?Most of the Nights Watch are peasants who joined up for free food and a bed, which is easier then busting your ass on a farm.
>>218524071I'm not Bret, and I could prove it by shitting on niggers, trannies and jews. But yes, it's obvious some people don't read that article (or my post), but still try to argue with it. That's why we're talking past one another. >>218524020>>218524077I'm not super familiar with pacific pirates, but I do know that atleast some of them set up forts on Madagascar and got involved in island politics there. I know more about "golden age" carribean pirates, and there you have things like the buccaneers and the town of Nassau. In a more medieval setting you had the victual brothers who took over gotland for a while. Pirates trying to settle or rule somewhere is a thing that repeatedly happened. But all of that is completely besides the point. The question was why the NW does not turn pirate or go rogue in other ways? They even have ships.I think we're talking past one another here. Dissatisfied soldiers irl can become pirates or mercenaries, or take over to rule somewhere. The teutonic order, the closest irl case to the NW, eventually secularized and became a feudal state. The question was: Why doesn't the NW? What motivates them to keep going, when they could hope to make a better life for themselves? How realistic that hope is exactly isn't even relevant, in irl cases that are far easier than the NW the hope was obviously strong enough. Like I said, Grrm wants to have this religious military order, but has forgotten to make them a religious order. That's the point I was trying to make.
And what of good Maynard Plumm?
>>218522998Remarkably, I am still unable to find any info on that being a tranny. He appears to have always been a he, and claims nothing otherwise.
>>218525794that nigger stole my dragon egg
in this thread we support the Boltons end of discussion
>>218525724Yeah you always try and make that point and its always wrong because its not a religious military order
>>218525724The Night’s Watch is already a feudal state; it has its castles and lands and towns from which the Lord Commander can draw revenues. In that sense there’s no need for them to go rogue. Geographically, there’s no place for them to go anyway: expanding north leads you to the icy wastelands filled with people who would be near impossible to subjugate, to the south is a much larger realm that would destroy them almost immediately. It’s also not entirely filled with criminals. There’s enough knights and nobles going there willingly to uphold the sense of feudal obligation and vows to keep the risk of rebellion down.

>When the dragons come, your flesh will burn and blister and turn to ash. Your wives will dance in gowns of fire, shrieking as they burn, lewd and naked underneath the flames. And you shall see your little children weeping, weeping till their eyes do melt and slide like jelly down their faces, till their pink flesh falls black and crackling from their bones. The Stranger comes, he comes, he comes, to scourge us for our sins. Prayers cannot stay his wroth, no more than tears can quench the flame of dragons. Only blood can do that. Your blood, my blood, their blood. There the demons dwell, up there. Fire and blood, blood and fire. This is their city. If you would make it yours, first you must destroy them. If you would cleanse yourself of sin, first must you bathe in dragon’s blood. For only blood can quench the fires of hell.Unironically, the most based ASOIF character.

>>218525850No need to insult summer islanders, robber knight is the correct term as Dunk says.Yjk Brynden wishes he could keep traveling with Dunk the lunk and Eggy instead of having to babysit Aerys.
>>218520070First Law trilogy is very similiar if you like unreliable narrator and great, grey characters. Abercrombie is one writer that is on gurm level with writing the "heart in conflict with itself" stuff. Glokta and Jezal are amazing and remind me of Theon and Jaime a bit. Don't read the Age of Madness trilogy tho, it is much worse and full of stupid feminist stuff like "Hurr the men are so bad, if only they listened to us more durr".Malazan is great in scope, much bigger than asoiaf even. But most of the characters are pretty meh, and plot drags on endlessly. Read only if you want to get into something deep.There's also Prince of Nothing series, by Scott Bakker. It can be quite dark, with some philosophical stuff, there's rape and sex too. I recommend it, but remember that beginning can be a bit of slog (it gets better)Black Company is fun and easy to read. First three books are really solid, later ones are set in Not-India and there's lot of deus ex machina and asspulls characters coming back from the dead and such. Read if you don't want something deep or complicated plot, just fun adventure in dark fantasy world.

>>218529830>Honourable>Noble>Righteous>Protects othersWomen hate this kind of guy. They like Geroge's Beloved Daemon, who is basically a child rapist / groomer and a murderer.
>>218529830He had the Sword of The Conquerer!
>>218529891>basically a child rapist / groomer and a murderer.ok but who wouldn't want to be groomed by this?
>>218529940he was also good at using it which is why people actually gave a shit about him having it
>>218529786>>218529830it's actually insane how much Blackfyre mogs the Rogue Prince, you have to use Caraxes to even balance the scales
>>218529834Not the first time the sword was given to someone not meant to be king, and if you had as many brats as he did with as many bitches you'd be doubting legitimacies too, if you weren't a willing cuck
>>218529786>>218530002How does he do it?
Why do the Targshit Swords have such evil sounding names, anyway?
>>218530062>Not the first time the sword was given to someone not meant to be kingit was the second time, the first and only other time Blackfyre was given to somebody besides the king was Maegor...who everyone prefered over Aenys and who took the throne and became king, there is a reason Blackfyre isn't treated the way Darksister is
>>218530043Daemon B owes eveything to Daemon Targ
>>218529830>>218529891>>Honourable>>Noble>>Righteous>>Protects othershis name is literally demon black fire
>>218530094never grew out of their edgy phase
>>218530138It's a Vaylrian name. Andal (Common) words are translated into English, as it's the main language of the setting, so even though the names would sound different if someone from Westeros were to say them to us in our own world, they would directly translate to things like "Winterfell", "Bright Roar", "The Seven Kingdoms", etc. Valyrian words ... we don't know, Daemon is a Valyrian word. Blackfyre is a Valyrian word. It probably doesn't mean Black Fire.
i always found it funny that House Baratheon/Durrandon never had a valyrian steel weapon, wonder what it would have been called
>>218530096Still not an established method of succession, cling to your nonsense unto death
>>218530189every major house had a valyrian steel weapon except house Baratheon, literal brokie house
>>218530189Widow's WailFury
>>218530208>Still not an established method of successionit's just a symbol, nothing more or less, blackfyres had more of an argument than just a kings sword
>>218530222Oh, I think in the wedding one of the guys shouts "Stormbringer" when Joff is asking for names.
>>218530222joffrey was more lannister than baratheon, even his personal sigil made it a point to make it clear he is a lannister-baratheon, not a baratheon
>>218530189>wonder what it would have been calledthe storm
>>218530218... No? From the major houses only Starks and Lannisters had one, and Lannisters lost theirs long time ago. Oh and Greyjoys had a Nightfall, but gave it up to Harlaws for some reason. No other major house had a valyrian steel blade.
>>218530317which is crazy. 200+ swords in westeros, and over 10000 years only two major houses have one?
>>218530362There's one in the core of every weirwood tree, Sevenfags don't even know this
Dawn is stronger than Valyrian Steel. It's a True First Man sword (i.e. the people who were in Westeros before the First Men, like the Hightowers and Daynes)
>>218530317Didn’t the Arryns have a legendary sword
>>218530444Sevenchads WOULD know this if it were true, because the cut most of those faggot trees down. Everyone one of Brynden Rivers' cuckchair trees should be burned.
>>218530456This was never proven
>>218530362Yeah, i think it is a bit of a plot hole. It really does not make any sense to me. I think the 200+ number came much later, and Gurm didn't think it through when he gave that answer.
he comes
>>218530460Not that i know of. The Corbrays, their vassals, do have one, but Arryns? I don't think so.
>>218530524Busy manlet
Does anyone know what this meme says?
>>218530617P-p-p-prrrivet Me-me-my name is umgmg. Mmmm... but... well, what are you doing? Ahem, fart, well, I like to fuck men... and, is it time for you? well okay…Papilla is a girl, why is there one, now there will be two. Don't be shy, give me half an hour to wash up and I'm waiting on my single-seat flesh-colored apple. At the weddingYandex translator is really bad.

>>218517687Season 2 being such a faggy nothing burger left a bad aftertaste. The showrunners and the writers are so soulless that if the Battle Above the God's Eye™ happens this season they'll have Vhagar do another silly stealth attack.

>>218530822>Dtier>Aegons armorit should be a huge plothole that the Conquerors armor fits Aegon II, he is a twink that never works out
>>218531029Not really. That just means Aegon I was a weak little bitch. We already knew this, he relied on his dragons and both his sisters fucked other men.
>>218531029I don’t make the rules, logistics aside that armor looked like shit, it’s like getting beat in slot gear but you can’t stand looking at it so you swap back to your original armor

Why's there a Frey called "Aenys"? I don't think there's any Aenys Targaryen after the second king, who was regarded as one of the weakest, so who were the Freys trying to please with that name?
>>218531107I meant in the history of their house which goes back to the age of heroes it’s a surprise they didn’t have a ancestral weaponAlso Tommem? Really
>>218531156He’s named after Aenys Blackfyre
>>218530189Stormbringer
>>218531196Anus Blackpyre
>>218531156None of Walder’s kids actually have suck up names. It’s his kids who started doing that shit. He might just like the name.
House Beesbury's valyrian steel dueling rapier
>>218531244The barb
Reminder that Dark Sister ALWAYS beats Blackfyre.
>>218531186Our rightful lawful king. Shame V*rye will kill him. All legitimist chads will have to go over to Stannis.
>>218531228was it Moorcock that said he'd rather see people reading Mein Kampf in public than Tolkien? because I agree but not for the same reasons he said it.
And what of good bloodborne Frey? When will we see his outlaw band?
>>218531275If you took all the people who wielded Blackfyre vs all the people who wielded Darksister it’s a blowout in Blackfyre’s favor
>>218531315In the show canon Aemond wields Blackfyre and loses to Daemon and Dark sister so I’m pretty sure it’s more even than that
>>218531315Nigga, Aemond got skullfucked by Dark Sister and Bitterseethe ends up running from it once and the next time he surrendered and got taken in chains back to Kingslanding.
>>218531306do you think having a fat serial killer who eats poop was gurm's idea or miyazaki's
>>218531350I hope they ruin the gods eye in the show. The writers hate daemon and so do I, I doubt they’ll lionize his death like George did
>>218531280NTA but I read some of his work and it’s just edge cringe. Like the most laughable elements of ASOIAF (for example) amplified. Also Elric’s (kind of) deity is a naked albino boy child so I think he was probably a peadophile as well. Not shocked he was averse to Tolkien who has a good guy and had a sweet soft faced English rose of a wife.
>>218531384Bitterseethe literally took out Bryndon’s eye The fight was over, Blackfyre wielders are Daemon bMaegorDaeron IAegorThe best dark sister wielder was Aemon and a guy known for his dragon riding skills, and a guy known for being an archer and a girl lol
>>218531384Bittersteel skullducked bloodraven in the first duel and had to be dragged off Brynden before he could finish him by his men
>>218531445Aemon also was a very overhyped swordsman. He got defeated by two low level knights
>>218531466but he was the dragon knight
>>218531402Nah Elric is angsty edgekino. Moorcock was just a bit of a sperg. It would go well as an anime.
>>218531445Took one of his eyes and still ran, then got btfo'd the second time against a guy with one eye lmao, that's how OP Dark Sister against brownfyre.>>218531452>aven in the first duel and had to be dragged off Brynden before he could finishSure he was.
>>218531445Brynden*
>>218531466I assume he just jumped in to take the killing blow meant for his fatfuck king. This guy was an even bigger cuck than Aerys' kingsguards who just stood by and watched him burn innocents and abuse his wife.
AAAAGGHHHHH BLACKFYRE SAVE ME!!!!
Is the Ghost of High Heart a reference to the Wizard Knight by Gene Wolfe? The novel begins with the protagonist being given the name Able of the High Heart by an fate-weaving old woman. I looked into the asoiaf wiki but it doesn't say anything
>>218531549>and then daemon jumped off his dragon mid descent defying the laws of physics and gravity and landed in perfect position to stab aemonds eye Hahahahaha and I fucked the queen!
>>218531501You are trying too hard
>>218531549I can’t, out of principle, support Trænyra.
>>218531633I hate this quote, not because Stannis is team green but because it implies Stannis believes the law is above the king and his word
>>218531624How will HBO ruin this anime kino?
>>218531772>Stannis believes that king doesn't have unlimited power and there are laws even kings don't have the right to overturn or ignoreHow's this a bad thing?
>>218531624>and then daemon jumped off his dragon mid descent defying the laws of physics>flashback to flea bottom
>>218531772>it implies Stannis believes the things that he believes
>>218531875>>218531916Stannis would make Shireen his heir if he gave his word
>>218531781Slow motion and lens flares, with close-ups on the eyes
I would support the Blacks because The Strong Boys have diluted their Targshit blood (Arryn and Strong) and I hate Valyrians. I would support them because they are bastards. Sadly as soon as the marriages to the dusky duo were announced, I’d sit it out and tell everyone I was dying and could not participate in the war.
>>218532057I was gonna argue but then I remembered hightowers are Valyrian
