If you to take a look at what houses are Martin's favorites, look no further than checking whose houses married into House Targaryen, have current descendant and are thus in the genetic line of both Jon and Dany:>Martel (le woke egalitarian brown house)>Dayne (heavy ties with the Azor Ahai myth and the good foil of le evil Hightower chuds)>Blackwood (no explanations needed, they are Martin's favorite minor house>Stark (main protagonists of the whole saga together with the targs)
Which characters do you think would have the most interesting everyday lives outside of what we see?
>>218552365My wife Rohanne Webber.
If you were allowed to pick a relatively undeveloped area/lordship to rule, where would you pick?
>>218545386like i said, literally me
>>218552381If you are to take a look at what houses are based, look no further than who supported Blackfyres.
>>218552324as I was saying in the other thread, let me say it again: lady Stark is a dumb bitch

>>218552620A little chunk of the Kingswood on the Wendwater. Still keep is surrounded by trees. There or on the mouth of the river that flows into the Last River (even though it's a bit close to those Bolton scum). Because Westeros is so massive, that Kingswood is probably like a Rainforest or something so should be OK to carve a little Fiefdom out of.

>>218553480Rhaenyra's whole problem is that she is a massive slut and instantly broken by dick. Cole. Her Uncle. Strong. If she was into girls, there wouldn't have been an issue because she could have been having her fun time and fucking her gay husband out of duty once in a blue moon. She had to have multiple bastards because she was WARPED by lust for dick.
>>218552797She's a grieving mother and Jaime was actually remarkably useless as a hostage.

>>218553614Eowyn doesn't do anything that wouldn't be believable for a woman of her frame and status, except for cutting the Fell Beast's neck in the movie.She later settles down with Faramir, has a child and never fights again.
of all the shit from later seasons of GoT the one I want to see the most in the books is Bran Eyed Raven, I really want to see how this Paul Atreidis omnipresent character fits into otherwise low fantasy settingespecially if you go along with him being able to transport his personality/powers onto other people, just all knowing King forever - I want to see how this works in this setting hopefully with long epilogue that explains how this would work for Westeros long termBecause at the end of the show the kingdom is so fucking weak I'm pretty sure they'd all just break apart like Sansa did why the fuck would they follow fucking Bran
>>218552620Wolfswood or Cracklaw Point.
Robert should have invaded the Free Cities. He could have done it. Everyone on the other side of the Narrow Sea is a weak jobber bitch who relies on Westerosi Chad Mercs to survive.
>>218553774>Cracklaw Pointcancer
Picture this scenario>Winds come out>quickly open on a random late chapter to find spoilers to post on /got/hotd/dunk/>it's Daenerys chapter>"Daenerys gazed at the Great Pyramid.."What would you do?
>>218553881>Winds comes outReally stretching my suspension of disbelief>quickly open on a random late chapter to find spoilers to post on /got/hotd/dunk/Alright>it's Daenerys chapter>"Daenerys gazed at the Great Pyramid.."Skip this bitch's boring as fuck chapters so don't know what this means.
>>218553534I still wonder why Tywin bothered to waste commissioning a Valyrian steel sword as a gift for one of the shittiest kings ever. Lannister tradition runs deep I guess. So expensive...
>>218553534i think dark sister doesn't get enough love>>218553680it doesn't look like this at all
>>218554049In the books, Oathkeeper is bigger, thicker and longer than Widow's Wail so the leftover steel from Ice, which was massive, was probably used to make it. Joff got the ass-end. Redditgon "the Free Stuff King" will probably end up with it, handed to him out of the blue like literally everything else in his cause.
>>218554049because Tywin knows that both swords at the end of the day are Lannister swords
>>218554142>Tywin knows that both swords at the end of the day are Lannister swordsWidow's Wail literally has a stag on it
Sansa Jon interaction are annoying as fuck in season 7but I want to see them fuck so muchshe's his possessive controlling yandere gf

>>218552324egg is icsh
>>218553614nta, but Tolkien clearly frames warrior Eowyn as a one-time anomaly. Otherwise the whole "I am no man" twist on the prophecy wouldn't work. It is supposed to be legendary.

>>218552620A small fortified island just off shore in Long Lake in the North, where the Kingsroad goes past. Plenty of lumber and stone building materials, good hunting and fishing, easy communication along the road and far enough away from great lords to not be involved in their bullshit.

>>218553039we should all thank the Seven that out of all the women the only virile son of Aerion Targaryen could have married, he just so happened to chose the one who's genes obliterate their partner's.

>Descendants of the Blacks (through Viserys II) Dany and Jon. One ends up killing the other and the other is a sterile zombie living beyond the wall. Only Gendry Waters (Baratheon) lives to carry their blood as Lord of Storm's End. >Descendants of the Greens (through Aemond and Alys Rivers' bastard)Sansa Stark, first Queen of the North in 8000 years (ironic). Bran Stark, duly elected King of The Andals and the Rhoynar. Arya Stark, Azor Ahai who defeated the Long Night who's song was The Song of Ice and Fire, Edmure Tully, the Greatest Hero in Westeros, Robert Arryn, the Falcon Knight come again who's army saved Da Norf from Ramsay Bolton and avenged the Red Wedding and many others. Greenchads won the long game.
>>218558273>(through Aemond and Alys Rivers' bastardIllegitimate, Greens lost
>>218558376>illegitimateBut enough about WHOREnyra's bastards.
>>218558376All Blacks are illegitimate because Rhaeneyra's gay husband is still alive, so she and Daemon aren't really married. Gendry is illegitimate as well and so is Jon Snow. Suppose you could pretend Rhaegar got an annulment somehow ... doesn't matter, Jon has the Stark Blood so is also a Green by blood.Greens won the CULTURAL VICTORY, Greens won the BLOOD VICTORY as well. They won, totally and completely.
Reminder that they opposed Rhaenyra because she was important for hatching dragons.

>>218559243We have no proof that Dragons don't take sloppy seconds. It's just a claim, likely to stop Dragonriders stealing eachother's Dragons.
>>218554304>Lord Tywin waited until last to present the king with his own gift: a longsword. Its scabbard was made of cherrywood, gold, and oiled red leather, studded with golden lions’ heads. The lions had ruby eyes, she saw. How the fuck are book Tywin and Cersei supposed to deny Stannis' claims if they keep dressing Joffrey in 100% Lannister swag?
First time seeing this show going in blind and im dropping it after season 1Season 1 was good up untill king weak ass died then suddenly everyone involved turned into a retard with PIS and making retard decisions or else the story would have been over by episode 10.
>>218560525Hotd I mean Also I love ameond and the shit eating smug face he permanently glued to his face
retard herewhen tyrion lied to pycelle, varys, and littlefinger about where he was sending myrcella, did he send her to dorne just because pycelle turned out to be the rat, or would he have honestly tried to marry her to theon or robin if varys or baelish was the rat
>>218561276He'd marry her to me.
>>218561276I think Dorne was the actual plan, the other two were dummy plans. He holds a grudge against Lysa and the Ironborn are in rebellion against the crown. He probably thought Pycelle was the most trustworthy (out of those three), it probably wasn’t him who snitched on Tyrion either. He got tricked into turning Pycelle from a friend to a foe. IIRC Tywin also thinks the decision to send Myrcella to Dorne for an alliance was correct.
>>218561276I’d say he gave the plan he most wanted to do to the most likely traitor, though marrying her to Robin would have been way smarter
>>218561276Thanks for reminding me that Tywin threatened to marry Cersei to Theon.
>>218561276he was sending her to Dorne no matter what, it was a way more important alliance than the other two both because of Dorne's raw strength and because they FUCKING HATE the Lannisters for Elia and her children getting killed in the Sack of Kings Landing
>>218561497>He probably thought Pycelle was the most trustworthy (out of those three), it probably wasn’t him who snitched on Tyrion either.Bro Pycelle is a ridiculous Lannister shill, he absolutely 100% told Cersei
>WHERE ARE MY DRAGONBALLS
>>218561276>>218561947Sidenote, but wasn't Tyrion saying he wanted to marry Myrcella to Euron a show invention? Something in my brain is pinging that that was something ridiculous the show made up because the book choice was some house the show never bothered to set up or something. Marrying a crown princess to a house of rapists and barbarians who are in open revolt to the crown is completely insane.
>>218563483You mean Theon? That was in the book I don’t remember Euron coming up though
Were the Stormlands going to go to Joffrey or Renly’s son when Renly died?
>>218564630The Stormlands would go back to Stannis, which is what happened.
>>218564900What is the event this image supposed to be depicting?
>>218565442Stannis' siege camp during Clash Of Kings. Before Renly dies.
hello, based department?
>>218565669Stannis never wore all that ridiculous shit. And who's the potato nose? And what are those deviantart OCs on the right?
>>218566051None of those are Stannis, are you retarded or something?
>>218565689Martin once again revealing that he doesn't know shit about medieval times.
>>218566164None of these are anyone, the three horned guys are just broad ripoffs of Bobby B and there's also some Altair wannabe and some Tyrell cunt.
>>218566240>erm, this fantasy series isn't historically accurate!holy shit bro, you must have a PhD or something
>>218566522It doesn't even make sense in the context of his own world, why would Targaryens tolerate that shit?
>>218566702Because why would they care about a fat retard banging chicks on the reg? As long as he keeps his lands in check that's all that matters
>>218566702>he thinks the Targaryens immediately post-Conquest would restrain (((Qoherys))) from abusing his Andal vassals
>>218566412lmao what a spaz you are
prima noctis is just some period equivalent of BLACKED. it even started showing up shortly after the printing revolution.imagine in 2525 when the aliens study us in space and decide we are a race of sick weirdos that hire black men to fuck our women.
How do you even invade this country?

>>218567205occupy the lowlands from the sea and seize the Bloody Gate, then let everyone in the mountains starve until they sue for peace
>>218552324You think she let the men who threw her out chained and naked (basically the entire castle) back into her service?
>>218566164Anon the guy on the horse is clearly meant to be Stannis or one of his knights, judging by his burning stag sigil. This artist probably thinks it's common for Baratheon knights to wear antlered helmets.
>>218567056More non-canon shit, Stannis never swung a sword at the enemy nor rode in the vanguard. The only thing he ever stabbed is some statue.
>>218567205From the sea apparently. The Vale is where the Andals made landfall.
>>218552620>Both Westerlands and Vale are montanous shitholes with very little arable land or forests>Two of the most powerful regions that can field ridiculously large armiesGeorge pls
>>218568277>>218568226kek what a samefagging spastic you are
>>218568757the Westerlands goes all in on wood and gold and spams crossbowmen and siege
>>218568824Explain who the characters in >>218564900 are and why do they all look like Robert. Also explain when Stannis has ever fought on the frontlines.
>>218569201>waah waaah fill in the blanks for me!!!kek
>>218555900kinda whack that Maekar had already shat 6 kids by this point in his life but Baelor only had 2guess it was part of the asspulls needed for Egg to be king
>>218569437and Daemon B had like 12 kids, maybe Baelor just didn't care for fucking all that much
Was Maekar the most bullyable king? All it took was someone in the crowd whispering "Prince Baelor would have..." whenever something bad happened for his insecurities and regrets to come crashing down on him and he became dead inside for a minute before someone brought him back to his senses.
I hope the Faith forces some kind of Magna Carta on Cersei and and Tommen and Jon spends the rest of the series trying to get around some gay parliament that won’t do anything as White walkers push south of the neck
>>218566240>>218566702why is it unrealistic? i'd probably do the same thing as Gargon tbhdesu
>>218558153You forgot their penal colony in notMadagascar where they turned prisoners into chimeras.They deserved the smiting they got from the Many-Faced God.

>>218567439Weren't they hanged for their betrayal? Or am I misremembering that?
>>218574311Their fate was never addressed
>>218569258So you don't know. Right.
>>218574405i do. i'm just gatekeeping you.
>>218574438These >>218564900 are fucking OC's, all of them. Quit larping.

Since Preston is doing this and it's an interesting question, what should Ned have done differently to win the power struggle in Kings Landing?
>>218578387>what should Ned have done differently to win the power struggle in Kings Landing?Wrote to Stannis sooner and kept his suspicions between the two of them. Stannis would have sacked Kings Landing and butchered Joffrey.
>>218578387Tell Robert (on his deathbed), form an alliance with Renly, deal with Cersei inmediately. Make a public event out of Robert's letter after he dies in front of a large crowd. Get in touch with Stannis ASAP.
>>218578387Ruthlessly purge the Lannisters once Robert was out of the picture
>>218578387He needed to arrest Cersei immediately when she defied him after he tried to get her to run
>>218578387he couldn't have known it would be the right thing to do, but send Loras with the party going to arrest Gregor Clegane. It'd break the Tyrells' leverage over Renly and sew bad blood between then and the Lannisters
>when I grow up I want to be as cool as uncle Daemon
>>218578715Ned would still get executed at KL and Tywin's army alone would likely still be enough to beat Stannis who had already suffered heavy loss at Blackwater
>>218564630>Were the Stormlands going to go to Joffrey or Renly’s son when Renly died?The Stormlands would have gone to Renly's son, Joffrey would get Dragonstone when he turned 16 (kicking Stannis to the curb in the process) and inherit the entire kingdom after Robert died.
>>218570925>I hope the Faith forces some kind of Magna CartaThe Faith are batshit crazy theocrats.
>>218578513>Tell Robert (on his deathbed)There's no need to tell him the truth, he's going to die anyways.
Daemon has to be the gayest man in Westeros.
>>218582672Daemon should have married Rhaenyra.
>>218580003Kek I hate how the scene where the kids all fistfight is so dark you can’t really see Daemon laughing as he walks away from Aemond
>>218584619How do I get a woman to look at me like this?
Imagine getting merc’d by a crannogman, lmao

>>218586165>disabilityhim being black?
>>218586278he won because someone with tourettes called him a nigger at an award show, so it's kind of like bran's story
I never understood why Cersei was so against marrying Loras. He's young, handsome, skilled, and would be infinitely more caring than Robert. The book even draws parallels between him and Jamie, you'd think she'd be all over that
>>218582394>tell him on his deathbed >through sheer fury, he musters the will to remain alive for at least another day or two, till shit is sorted
>>218587449I feel like at that point he's so thoroughly broken the news would just kill him faster
>>218587418Cause he's a fag, simple as.
>>218569818He was gay, Baelor "Breakspear"?
>>218587418I'm pretty sure she's meant to marry Willas, who's a cripple, in the books.

i know dunk is gurms self insert i just cant prove itfat and tall people both have this concealed "i can fuck you up" instinct because theyre bigger than normal people.
>>218578387Make up some bullshit about how there's a crisis in the north and you have to go solve it. Get Cat and the kids out of KL and tell Cat to lock up and not let anyone in. Feign like you're going to Winterfell but then go to Dragonstone with only your most trusted retainers. Talk to Stannis face to face, don't send any ravens. Spend the next month or two raising an army. Sack King's Landing, kill Jaime and Tywin(if he's there), kill Varys and Littlfinger and take Cersei, Joffrey, Myrcella and Tommen as hostages. Crown Stannis king with Ned as his temporary Hand. Send ravens to Renly and tell him you'll make him Hand if he and the Tyrells join him. Massacre the Ironborn.
>>218578387Knowing only what he did? Just leave the city ASAP, contact Renly and Stannis via raven, gather an army in the North. He doesn't have enough trustworthy support in King's Landing, trying to win the power struggle at all instead of retreating to a better position is a poor strategy.
>>218590743> gather an army in the NorthNah too long and far away, send raven to Robb to gather banners while he goes to Riverrun with Cat and mobilises Riverlords
Why do midwits keep parroting that Oberyn poisoned Tywin? Isn't it obvious that GRRM made Tywin's corpse give off an unusually strong smell as a metaphor for him being completely rotten in death as he was in life? It would just be a pointless twist that has no way of ever coming up in the story since Oberyn is dead and every single character believes that Tyrion killed Tywin. >but Pycelle said his constipation inducing poison was-Yeah right so the Oberyn, the master poisons, didn't bother to bring another poison with him when he left for King's Landing and had to ransack Pycelle's storage?
>>218552324>Daenerys is literally called "Stormborn.">Has really vague memories of her past.>Her brother treats her like absolute shit.>She is told there's a false Targeryan somewhere around.>People think it's Young Griff, even though Varys tells his identity to someone he immediately after murders, and thus has no reason to lie.I'm not the only one who thinks she's a fake, right, and the irony is that she's a Baratheon bastard who killed a Targaryen (Viserys)?
>>218578387Kick out Janos Slint after learning that Crown under the huge debts to Lannisters and Littlefigner telling him dagger belonged to Tyrion (if Lannisters are plotting something surely Golden Cloacks chief is on their payroll).Never talk about serious business with those of his kids who resembled closer to their retarded mother.Start hiring more men right after arriving in King's Landing

>>218590548holy based
>>218590943stuff like this is specifically written to be open to interpretation, it works thematically as you say but it's also very possible Oberyn poisoned him
>>218566412>Altair wannabeThat's a Queen's men.
>>218590548In this scenario Robert would probably still be alive since Cersei didn't know that Ned knew her secret
>>218591030eh still the magic always feels like it being grounded in some kind of lost art/technology
>>218590917No, you're travelling by ship to White Harbour, you're not going to travel by land where you can be easily pursued and would have to pass by the territory Clegane's men are ravaging.
>>218590948She's fake, yes. Her true heritage is probably something insignificant, like a street urchin from Lys or a fisher's baby from Dragonstone. Viserys' handlers just needed some girl to pass off as a princess for future marriage pacts.
>>218591030All postapocalyptic sci-fi btw
>>218591842how the fuck does she hatch and ride dragons then?
So, the Lord Hightower has been sitting in the Hightower for decades now to breed his own daughter and sacrifice magic babies, right?

>>218591865She's by chance a Dragonseed from Dragonstone. Like all those randos during the Dance.Alternatively dragonriding genes are not as rare as everyone thinks. The Targs (and old Valyrian oligarchs before the Doom) just never let others near their eggs.
>>218552620Obvious answer is always going to be some river in the Reach (as you want to be far away from the coast due to ironborn subhumans)>hottest women>rich and abundant>no risk of starvation>mild climate>probably the most sanitary of all kingdoms
>>218591030>no fantasy setting>ancient sumerian flood myths, pagan gods, cults>sunken cities>bermuda triangle>aliens & reptilians>deja vu>mandela effect>malaysia airlines 370
>>218552620Either Rainwood or somewhere between Kingsgrave and Skyreach.
>>218570667Unless you count Aenys who got literally bullied to death
>>218591910It's a stretch because I don't recall any dragon seed foreshadowing whatsoever in the main series (feel free to prove me wrong.) I don't think GRRM is intending to do a 20 year rugpull on the readers. Not to mention it would have been in the outline he gave DnD for the show
>>218587418Because she thinks she is a proud independent lioness who don't need no man
>>218591910This. George loves the baby switch plot device. It's probable the "real" Dany died during childbirth. Rhaella had like 10 miscarriages. Dragonstone was swarming with dragonseeds too. It's also why Varys and Illyrio make a clear distinction between Dany and Viserys. There's something special about her blood specifically and why Illyrio has clear disdain for Viserys. Keep in mind it's stated 1 dragon egg is so rare and valuable it could buy you an army and a navy 10 times over and Dany is given 3 by Illyrio. It's clear he and Varys know some important info the rest of us don't have.
We remember
>>218553534I don't know why but of all the names Lamentation always felt the coolest to me.
>>218591878If the Hightowers were meant to have a big role in the future it's pretty odd how the main books barely brought them out.
Has there ever been an objectively morally good Bolton to ever exist
>>218592489We know like three Boltons: Roose, Ramsey and Roose's legitimate son who got murrdered. The legitimate one sounded alright. There's also that Barbra Bolton teenage bride who cared about feeding the peasants. So I guess they can be ok.
>>218592489Domeric did nothing wrong
>>218552434>my wifeSo you are dead
>>218590943Tywin was machiavellian
>>218592489One of the maidens brought before Aegon III was a Bolton who mainly used her brief moment talking to him to say >If you're not going to pick me at least send me back with some food, our people are starvingBeyond that there's Rooses trueborn son Domeric who seemed like a genuinely decent person, and sought out Ramsey just because he wanted a brother in his life, only to die of poisoning shortly after.
>>218592562>>218592489>>218592583The Bolton lands are outright described as peaceful and quiet. Roose is a psychopath, but he's smart enough to keep his hobbies a secret. Ramsay is the one completely unhinged, and it's one of the series bigger secrets as to why Roose didn't just kill him a long time ago, he's a bastard and a walking liability.
>>218592632Even roose feared kinslaying
The Bolton's are the orcs of asoiaf
>>218592632>but he's smart enough to keep his hobbies a secret.Counter point. He isn't and most of the northers are just the same tier savage subhumans except of Manderly (they are from the Reach) and partially Starks (due to being integrated into wider Westeros culture more than other North houses).Dance with Dragons shows pretty well.
Is it still technically kinslaying if you just looked the other way when someone else did it?
Was Roose always out to backstab the Starks or was it entirely because he saw the writing on the wall when the Lannisters and Tyrells teamed up and the Ironborn fucked over the North?
>>218592562>The legitimate one sounded alright.Only from Roose's words.>>218592630>>If you're not going to pick me at least send me back with some food, our people are starving because we looted all their grain and stocked it in Dreadfortfix
Denying R+L=J is some insane hallucinatory cope. It's obvious GRRM told dnd that was the story he was going with
>>218592987People are starved for continuation of the story they just create more outlandish theories. R+L=J is just too basic for modern times
>>218592755True. Honorable Ned was an outlier, he was raised in the Vale where the Arryns taught him andal chivalry.
>>218592987Here is thing. R+L=J doesn't add anything to the story or characters arcs. Being Rhaegar's son doesn't put John above Danny in line of succession (just in case having 3 dragons isn't merit on it's own).
House Manderly are the only good northerners
>>218593147It will when Dany is killed, which again is what GRMM told dnd will happen
>>218592087>Not to mention it would have been in the outline he gave DnD for the showmaybe but the show is its own canon because there are some things that are just not possible because characters are either combined with other characters or just simply don't exist. There's a small chance that special blood is not required to ride dragons and also them hatching was more of a magical sacrifice >>218592118>Ser Jorah took her arm. "My queen, Drogo will have no use for dragon's eggs in the night lands. Better to sell them in Asshai. Sell one and we can buy a ship to take us back to the Free Cities. Sell all three and you will be a wealthy woman all your days."
>>218592826>Was Roose always out to backstab the Starksdoubt it, not openly at least
>>218593176Mainly because they aren't really northerners
>>218552620>sunny>sea>fall in love with Dornish girls >plot with the Dornish to destroy Oldtown
>>218593189>It will when Dany is killed,For what purpose? Getting himself exiled to the North after he kills her?
>>218552797Tully's function best when they keep their mouth shut and do their duties. Hoster Tully knew this, his kids didn't The only capable Tully (blackfish) didn't even want to be part of that family
>>218593111>True. Honorable Ned was an outlier,Not Ned exclusively, but average Starks since they've interactirf with civilised culture more frequently than average Bolton/Umber/Karstark/Mormont/Cerwyn/Dustin etc
>>218592118>Keep in mind it's stated 1 dragon egg is so rare and valuable it could buy you an army and a navy 10 times over and Dany is given 3 by Illyrio. It's clear he and Varys know some important info the rest of us don't have.They left her with a literal broke hobo convicted fugitive like Jorah who could very much just chop Viserys' head off and run off with Dany and the eggs and do what >>218593204 points out selling them and just keeping her for himself.Either she's a worthless street urchin from Lys and Illyrio and Varys also believe the eggs are fake instead of the ones Elissa Farman stole so they just sent her and Viserys to the wastes to die or fatman fucked up the story coming up with Griff afterwards. No way they would've given up Griff's future queen and dragons like that otherwise.
>>218592826He'd have no real reason to turn on Robb beyond knowing Robb fucked up
The Tyrells should have joined the Starks because they were the good guys
>>218567205Forget the mountains, burn the farm land, blockade the land routes and invade via the sea
>>218552324
>>218594402He was only going to be king of two kingdoms, the Riverlands and North, since the Vale sat it out and the Stormlands went with either Renly or Stannis.He should have just joined Stannis but he was an idiot who didn't believe Joffery was actually a bastard.
>>218593147>Being Rhaegar's son doesn't put John above Danny in line of successionIf Jon Snowgaryen is legitimized then he is ahead of Daenerys in the line of succession.King > king's son > king's grandson > king's daughter
>>218595144>If Jon Snowgaryen is legitimized By whom? Rhaegar and Lyanna are dead, Targs are not ruling dynasty and John himself made up his mind when he rejected Stannis offer.
All this talk about lineage and rightful succesion is a red herring. Dany is a peasant and fAegon is a Blackfyre, yet people follow them because they think they are Targaryens. It's a trick, a shadow on the wall.Also, Grrm is anti feudal lol. We as the readers are supposed to think that families owning and inheriting political power like property is a bad system. The morale of the story will not be that the "rightful" monarch thankfully got his or her throne back.Instead King Bran will rule a Stasi police state for the hivemind of the cotf.
>>218595412Pitch me a non retarded way that Bran can become king
I could have fixed her.
>>218595648You would have had to have been a childhood friend who showed interest in her to fix her, since Petyr fucked her when they were young.
>>218595831Once a real man takes care of her she'll forget all about "little finger".
>>218578387I would have been open and honest with Robert from the start. “Listen, someone send someone to kill my son. He had a Valyrian dagger and entered with the Royal Party”. I would have told her about the letter Lysa sent as well. Is that so hard? Especially after being attacked in the street. Before then, I would have totally made different choices so it would be totally different.
>>218595904Probably, but then you'd have to live with having a guy called Littlefingers sloppy seconds.
>>218596155She's still a virgin after the first inch.
>>218594671>12 meters thick wall on the thinnest sidewhat was GRRM thinking
>>218593431Edmure erasure
Dear lord
>>218597274What are the odds we see ANY tits this season?A hundred to one?
>>218597333I don’t think we’ll even get cleavage and they’ll remove any visible shape of breasts. Fucking faggots that they are, Hess especially.
>>218597274At least now I know which episodes will be bad (all of them).
>>218552324Thank you for your attention
>>218597274so eps 1/2 are connected more to last season right? and then that's 6 episodes to tell whatever they cantrash
>>218595497Dany and Jon hook up, Dany dies making Jon king. He takes the black out of grief, and his closest male family is Bran. It also requires Jon + Dany + Bran to meaningfully contributing in stopping the long night. The long night also needs to have enough of an impact on Westeros that the average peasant would legitimize anyone who participated in stopping it.
>>218598207Why didn't D&D do that
>>218598339Because they hate magic so long night had to go like wet fart
>>218598339star wars (cancelled) calling
>>218553272Isn't hte kingswood a bandit spawning area
>>218597846Post abs or gtfo
>>218598614>And he'd held his own against the Smiling Knight, though it was Ser Arthur who slew him. What a fight that was, and what a foe. The Smiling Knight was a madman, cruelty and chivalry all jumbled up together, but he did not know the meaning of fear. And Dayne, with Dawn in hand… The outlaw's longsword had so many notches by the end that Ser Arthur had stopped to let him fetch a new one. "Never should have come here," the robber knight told him as they resumed, though he was bleeding from a dozen wounds by then.
>>218594671kek you sound like the spastic who keeps posting 18th century buildings and trying to pass them off as ASOIAF castles.
ice zombies, long night, targshit prophecies>as fake as the coof.targ shit insanity, hating targ shits >real shitidk, i think s8 ending was more based than at first seems
>>218599634On my first watching i got more of a woman moment vibe from Dany then a targ shit insanity moment.
What did Balerion show Aerea?
>>218600377She was getting uppity and he showed her that Targs (and Valyrians in general) are just genetic trash, created from rape by monsters and genetic engineering, and NOTHING without dragons. Then he let her get filled up by worms.
>>218600377Trust me, you do NOT want to know
>hfw I take 'it' out
>>218601110My queen
>>218601110Lmao good one
S8 so bad I lowkikenuinly enjoy rewatching S7 which was my hated at the time
>>2185902300? if Baelor and Maekar found themselves standing before Daemon instead of Gwayne they both would have died before Brynden and his teeth could get into position
>>218598811>>218594671
>>218601110she's so fucking hot
I don’t see how anyone can support the blacks when they see Alicent’s empathy for Beesbury here
>>218602488Those kingsguard bee damned.
>>218602353Most heterosexual poster itt, shame the show isn’t made for us
>Characters constantly talk about Dragons, have Dragons on their flags, refer to themselves as "Dragons", called the House of the Dragon, ruled in ancient time as Dragonlords>But the only firebreathing monsters they actually ride are WyvernsSeriously? Why aren't they called The House of the Wyvern?
Whats her deal again? She’s a lot more important in the books right? Why doesn’t she go with Dany if she wants to help her?
>>218603366Asshai Side quest giver, dany never did it though and now it’s locked
>>218603439As of her sunset squat, Dany is further east than she's ever been?
>>218603366>Beware the brooding Manlet
>>218603366You must go east to reach the west. She never went to Asshai and will never reach Westeros.
Robb's actor would have been better as Jon, after all those years I still hate Kit Harington
>>218603773Same. He looks like such a gormless mong, not noble or elegant at all. Robb's actor has a square, earnest face which puts him ahead of Kit by miles. I know Jon is a slender type, not a strong type, but Kit doesn't fit that either.
>>218603866Also, Harry Lloyd (Viserys) would have made a way better Jon Snow.
>>218603934Roy Dotrice will always have a special place in my heart, but I would kill for redone audiobooks with Harry Lloyd narrating. He knocked AKOTSK out of the park.
>>218603934Never thought about it but it could have worked, maybe they wanted someone younger
>>218598207Yeah good
>>218598339>and then the three lovable heros save the day, prophecy is right actually and you should trust it Because it’s not that kind of story
In a sea of characters that are literally me its impossible to tell which is literally, literally me
>>218605169
>>218605169Fucking cunts in steel plate
>>218605599>>218605599>>218605599
>>218604804>three lovable heroesAn awkward cripple, honor autist bastard, and dragon psycho lady aren’t “lovable”. There’s a difference between garnering support for stopping the ice monsters and being adored. Bran being considered partially responsible for stopping the long night + being related to royalty (through J+L) is the only way it makes any sense for him to end up on the throne.
