Men of which great house have the biggest penises? Men of which great house have the smallest?
>>220868182what
>>220868205Biggest? Strong.Smallest? Martell
Had Daemon and Rhaenyra been married from the start in proper Targaryen tradition, a lot of trouble could have been avoided.
Torrhen being in this season means we are getting at least some post dance stuff right? I dont think they will show a lot of the post war story but at least Aegon3 being named king and maybe a bit of Cregan just executing bitches left and right.
>>220868205Manwoody and Tully, respectively.
>>220868205Canonically from biggest to smallest, it goes Martell, Baratheon, Arryn, Tully, Tyrell, Lannister, Grejoy, StarkFirst Men are known for being smaller, and the BDC defeated invaders for centuries
>>220868469Daemon should have tried to get a son with his wife, that way the son could have married Rhaenyra and in doing so strengthened Daemon's own position.
>>220868500Why Tully over Tyrell given, if we go by your reasoning, Tully's are First Men and Tyrell's are Andals?
Would you eat it ?
>>220868475>some post dance stuff right?The show has been a lesbian feminist fantasy from the start so once Rhaenyra is killed, the show will be over.
>>220868205The real question is which houses have the tightest vaginas?
>>220868475It will end with the Hour of the Wolf. All the minor loose ends get tied up and the final scene will have a broken Alicent and scheming Corlys starting discussions with the other regents about marrying off Aegon III.
>>220868524mixed the order there, good catch!
>>220868526THATS NOT A CAKEITS A MUFFIN
>>220867989point of the pic?
>>220868469But the king said no, and his word is law. They betrayed him and committed treason.
>>220868205Alas it is great houses for otherwise it is House Swyft.
>>220868602>talking about 'nyra>post a pic of them???
>>220868600Those are clearly cupcakes though
>>220868504>Arryn genetics
>>220868720Good thing it is Royce genetics then.
>>220868205Arryn - The longest and with decent thickness, yet if you are to be hypercritical perhaps could do with more girth to balance out the length. The main issue is actually the low sperm count.Baratheon - Long and thick, actually slightly shorter in length then Arryn, but more balance in girth. Pubic hair like a Myrish swamp.Greyjoy - Micropenis.Lannister - Looks tiny flaccid yet it is a grower not a shower.Martell - Very short but very girthy. Responds very well to prostate simulation.Stark - Suffers from premature ejaculation.Tully - Overall good showing all round in appearence, yet suffers from priapism.Tyrell - The most average in appearance yet has hyperspermia.
>>220868581If Condom and Hissterical have any shame left in their bodies they'll end it with a close up of Aegon and Jaehaera crying during the wedding with all the lords behind them.>These are not normal children. They have no joy in them; they neither laugh nor play. The girl wets her bed at night and weeps inconsolably when she is corrected. Her own ladies say that she is eight, going on four. Had I not laced her milk with sweetsleep before the wedding, I am convinced the child would have collapsed during the ceremony.
one question: if the show ending is just pure fanfic like everyone claims why has george never once confirmed in these past 9 years D&D's ending is not canon to his work like he did to HOTD ?yeah he said a few characters will have a different ending and his ending will be more bittersweet but has never once said something like "this didn't come from me, it has nothing to do with what I have planned for the books"
>>220868720
Is this accurate?What would it be like growing up as a son in a great noble family?Like do you think Robb had experiences with maidservants?
>>220868903In The Tudors Henry gets jerked off by his manservant.
>>220868922yeah but that's the british
>>220868874>why has george never once confirmed in these past 9 years D&D's ending is not canon to his work like he did to HOTD ?I don't know where I read this or why I have this impression, but I have a feeling that the show's ending is the same or similar to what George was planning. And how much people hated it is why he stopped writing.
>>220868903Just doing a quick search comes up with nothing credible beyond just people in random articles asserting it is. Since we are on the subject of masturbation and kingsKing Christian VII of Denmark>He masturbated frequently, which worried his court physicians and tutor, who thought the practice reduced the prince's fertility and affected his learning capacity.[8]
>>220868903>Like do you think Robb had experiences with maidservants?Yeah, though it was Old Nan.

I unironically like the Boltons
>>220868903It was common among the French nobility to have maids "educate" the males as they grew so they'd be familiar with the female form.When it came to Bourbon royalty it'd usually be noble women who'd volunteer to tutor the princes in that way. In some cases it'd be the wet nurses of the princes since their would already be a familiarity there.

For how much they name their kids after relatives and such, It's kinda weird there's no other Aenar Targaryen besides the exile.
>>220867447thats some high effort designing that map with all those house names having their own little regions
>>220871835is this serious?why would anyone like the boltons?

>I'm sending Aerion to the Backrooms>a few years in the liminal spaces may change him for the better
>>220873249That is the one that plays at the end of whatever dunk episode. Not even a cover version that has been made to sound medieval like, the version that people know https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9j91-18Kb4
>>220873169There is also the one about cucking the Dornishman.
>>220873287Fair enough. I admit I haven't watched any of the spinoffs. Last season gave me enough GoT fatigue to last a lifetime

>>220873501>houses off the the northeast coast are they relevant ever?Rickon in the books was being taken there by the wilding woman Osha. Skagos is the region. Apparently has cannibals. What are unicorns in the setting also exist there, though they are more akin to goats in some ways.
poppa bear?

>>220872821It was Cregan Stark and Alysanne Blackwood's job to protect her and Aegon but they fucked off north as soon as the kids' wedding was over, as always those savages are undependable.
>Flint, Dustin, Ryawell have the biggest area>never mentioned
>>220873261kek
>>220873532something about putting unicorns on an island where there are cannibals and savage old people is just mediocre fantasy imo
>>220873630yeah literally anyone going north has to pass through House Dustin's land and yet they're never mentioned
>>220873449Ser, the dornishman's wife is explicitly as fair as the sun.
im bored should I spend 200$ fixing Blood and Cheese with Seedancethere's so many other problems it hardly seems to matter but still I can mog them with AI
>>220873449hopefully they would look hotter than this 6/10 you keep spamming
>>220874074It's probably cheaper to fix Maekar giving Dunk permission to take Egg with him.
>>220873893They're not mentioned in the first books because Barbrey Dustin enters a one-sided cold war with Ned Stark after the rebellion and cuts off contact with Winterfell.
>>220874140I didn't care about that change. Very minor. I think it's not good but it doesn't annoy me the way Blood and Cheese does
>>220874191Well if you decide to fix anything in hotdoodoo just make Rhaenyra look like Maegor with a cunt.
I'm so autistic I have an edited version of Season 1 of HOTD that cuts out Aegon being a rapist who makes his own children fight each other, so I can watch the show with women.
I don't get the deal with the Tyrells. Why did they involve themselves with Renly? Why did Renly involve himself with them? Just because Renly and the favorite son Loras were homoing?
>>220874457
>>220874457Because fatman needed a big house to back renly in order to put Stannis in a weaker position.
>>220874266>being a rapist who makes his own children fight each otheri don't understand what that has to do with autism
>>220874520I am a fan of Aegon -> I want women to be a fan of Aegon/The Greens as well -> I go through the effort of actually editing the show to manifest my realityI don't think this is a thing normies are doing
>>220874457Because Olenna Redwyne is a fujoshi.
>>220874457it was a power move and Renly was their best puppet candidate, they knew they'd rule behind him like Lannisters did with Robert
>>220874112Damn. Xochitshill btfo.
>>220874553for me I edit songs in my music software so the quiet sections are louder so the dramatic shift isn't as fucked when I'm listening to the song out of a stereo in public, songs like >Mr Self Destruct>Gigantic>Dance Yrself Clean>Supervixenand more
>>220874553that's not autism. being abnormal is not always autism it can be other things. you're just being abnormally stupid.
>>220874553>>220874266that is more schizo than autistic
>>220874457>I don't get the deal with the TyrellsThey're political opportunists pure and simple. Their goal is to marry themselves into power (the Habsburg way) by having Margaery married to a king so they gain influence in the royal court. That's why in the books Margaery is widowed twice after marrying two kings while currently being married to King Tommen.After Robert's Rebellion happened the Tyrells were excluded from the political settlement that followed which had the Baratheons, the Starks, the Arryns, the Tullys and the Lannisters all in one big formal alliance through marriage.>Why did they involve themselves with Renly?Being the faggot he is with Loras Renly was the only Baratheon bro willing to have anything to do with them unlike the other two Baratheon bros plus he was the Lord of Storm's End and the Lord Paramount of the Stormlands. Robert and Stannis were adults during the rebellion, so they kept their distance from the Tyrells who besieged their ancestral home and fought for the Targs (remember the Tyrells have Highgarden and the Reach because Aegon the Conqueror gave it to them) all the way through the war until after King's Landing was taken and both the Mad King and Rhaegar were dead.>Why did Renly involve himself with them?He's a political opportunist himself. The Reach is a major asset that aids his ambition.>Just because Renly and the favorite son Loras were homoing?That too yes.
>>220873630>>220873893It's worth remembering the map isn't canon and clashes with established lore>>220874145They did still send men to join Robb
....semoc eH
>>220873927*fair as the DORNISH sun
>>220874688>>220874727okay thanks for clearing that up. I'll refer to myself as an abnormal schizo from now on instead of autistic. Sorry guys.
>>220874266Not unreasonable, it adds nothing to the story and was pretty retarded. GRRM was an idiot to retcon so much from TPATQ in F&B (which is shite anyway)>>220874457The Tyrells have a lower pedigree than other Reach houses and wanted to marry into a royal family

Here is awake at 1 AM wide awake with a bored malaise pointlessly killing time and wondering what exactly ASOIAF would call this time -HoursAlthough hours are used in A Song of Ice and Fire as a measurement of time, individual hours have never been referred to by names such as "eleven o'clock". Instead, functional definitions such as dawn, noon, and dusk are used (e.g., "the hours before the dawn".[37])Further, at least some individual hours have their own name. According to Martin, these names are used to "refer to times of day and night, but with rather less specificity than our own numerical system of hours and minutes."[38] Named hours include:The hour of the bat, apparently some time during deep night to early morning[31]The hour of the eel, coming just after the hour of the bat[39]The hour of ghosts, coming just after the hour of the eel[39]The hour of the owl, coming a few hours after the hour of the bat,[31] still before dawn[40][41]The hour of the wolf,[42][43][44][45] "the blackest part of night"[46], coming after the hour of the owl[47]The hour of the nightingale, coming after the hour of the wolf[47]- this is a peak example of GRRM thinking he is being clever but instead just being retarded.
>>220867447>Which house would you serve as a hedge knightThe true pride of the Riverlands. Death to Greens and death to Brackens.
>>220875154Why did Tywin not keep a better tab on Joffrey pre main events?
>>220875383because grrm is an idiot
>smug tywin gunna finally put Joffrey in his place>"So what of the dragon bitch?">dont worry about her she wont be a problem (she was)>walks away smuggly like he put Joffrey in his place

>>220875495how?

>>220875154Normalize being an african warlord.
Where does the idea of Tywin being hyper competent come from? We no fuck all of substance about him actually being a good administrator beyond what is really just the assertion he was a good Hand of the King. As a battlefield commander what does he actually have to his name? He outnumbered the Reynes. He sacked King's Landing due to Pycelle getting the gates open. Lannisport burns under his watch. What exactly is Tywin's plan if Robert demands he stands down when he invades the Riverlands? Or what if the Arryns were to enter the war; the assumption should be the Starks and Arryns will intervene, which he makes no actual consideration of and basically lucks out the Arryns do not as he would even more fucked over in that case to what he was with just the North. Jamie is responsible for the early success in the Riverlands, and Tywin gets bogged down by a green boy. The relief of King's Landing comes after Tyrion holding out and was done alongside the Tyrells. The Red Wedding just makes everyone hate the Lannisters, which gets to a broader point that in general when Tywin dies everything starts to go into freefall and crumble for the Lannisters. If we go by the show Tywin is in debt and seemingly has attempted nothing to deal with it. His children Jamie and Cersei were fucking each other. Tywin has no plan regarding his heir, clinging to the idea of it being Jamie despite if the opportunity for him to be released from the Kingsguard it would have been when Robert became king.
>>220875645but i did have breakfast this morning
>>220875314Shiera you whore.
>>220875244How is suicide viewed by the Faith of the Seven?
>>220875611nta but Maekar swallows his pride and accepts that a lowly hedge knight like Dunk is right about him not doing a good job raising his sons, one's a drunkard and the other a psycho
>>220875244GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY GODSWOOD YOU DONRISH COCKSUCKER
>>220875675you sound like a traitor that would back stannis baratheon
>>220875777He's a stormlander not a dornishman.
>>220875777he's too much of a loser to be dornish, he's a stormcuck
>>220875795He has a dornish look about him.
>>220875740from above
>>220875826racist
>>220873449
>>220875826That's an insult to marchers like him who've been dying to and killing d*rnish for ages.
I know only one king and his name is Stannis.
>>220875967I am not sure if Stannis Seaworth is really the best candidate, anon.
>>220875967your king is a dead king
>>220875967There sits the only king I mean to bend my knee to, m’lords
>>220875675>>220875967>>220875983>>220875988tywin beat stannis the usurper
>>220876010I think you find Mace the Ace beat Stannis. Also, Mace is the only man to have beaten Robert in battle to. Mace completely mogs Tywin.
>>220876010tywin died pooping in the pooper
>>220875675>the assertion he was a good Hand of the Kingwhen an author says it outright like this then that holds more weight than seeing examples of it on page. He's not perfect and has a bunch of flaws but he's good at ruling through fear and is willing to be ruthless. House Lannister was a laughing stock and he's the one that turned it into arguably the most powerful House in Westeros. It was his decision to give Tyrion actual power despite his feelings towards him because he knew Tyrion was probably the only person that could save King's Landing, and I secretly believe he sent him because if the capital fell then he could finally be rid of him
>>220876010Valiant of Tywin to take a break form being put through the ringer by a preteen with an oversized dog to come show the Tyrell host the fastest way to king's landing.
>>220875154>pro-TywinWhy didn't Tywin marry after his wife Joanna died even though it was the pragmatic thing to do for House Lannister and his legacy?Why did Tywin dismiss the threat of Dany and her dragons and refuse to take Tyrion's warnings seriously when he sounded the alarm about the Targ threat?Why did he present himself as an austere patriarch above whoring like his son but had a secret tunnel to a whorehouse?Why did he cuckold his son Tyrion by sleeping with Shae?
>>220868504Also rhoyce are first men stock, and when targs breed with first men, usually magical kids are born, daemon could have fathered bloodraven but with a dragon
>>220876064Tywin was a competent hand in that he was competent at rescinding the Aegon VI era legislation favoring smallfolk.
>>220876064>House Lannister was a laughing stock and he's the one that turned it into arguably the most powerful House in Westeros.Which has all went with Tywin's death, which seems to be the point GRRM is making in contrast to Ned who has men willing to rescue what they think is Arya because she is Ned's girl. To some extent GRRM does not know what Tywin is supposed to be.
>>220876010No wonder Robb never fought Tywin.
>>220875328Well, how would YOU name the hours of the day without a standardized clock?
>>220876064>when an author says it outright like this then that holds more weight than seeing examples of it on page.I think what bugs people about it all is grrm himself should not be given that card given what he has said about other things.
>>220876138Because Tywin kept running away as fast as his stumpy little midget-making legs could carry him?
>>220875675>Where does the idea of Tywin being hyper competent come from?A lot of it is just him having been played by Charles Dance.
>>220875988Show watchers need not apply.
>>220876096>>220876128his character flaws and shitty parenting being the thing that destroys him and his house only works if he actually is competent as Hand
>>220876166>Tywin has a slower army and waits at Harrenhal>Robb literally goes in the opposite directionIt's not surprising that Robb was afraid to fight Tywin.
>>220876307Robb couldn't afford to lose any of his men and had to pressure Tywin in other ways such as raids and maneuver warfare
>>220876307Being outmaneuvered by an enemy just means that they have a grasp of warfare transcending "rape di woman and chop di hands wiff di machete".
>>220869511luke is icsh
>>220876441Sounds like a coward.>>220876475Yeah Robb was outmaneuvered and died for it. Shouldn't have been a bitch.
>>220867447Was house Forrester made up for the Telltale game and not actually exist?
>>220876547they're in the books
Fatman stole this from us.
>>220868874Also what's up with the vision in the early season of a dragon flying over king's landing..The show for sure ended how grrm intended. The part with Danny is whatever. Who cares. It's the absolute dud of the finale with the whitewalkers that blew chode.
>>220876508>Sounds like a coward.this kind of cope only gets said by people that get defeated on the field of battle
>>220876570the books are not canon. only the show is canon.
>>220867447Why is westeros so rectangular? Real continents don't look like this
>>220876745westeros is not a real continent idiot
>>220868874>>220868966he's probably sympathetic towards them having to adapt an unfished story as he's written for television before and understands concessions need to be made. He gave them end game bullet points to try and hit but that doesn't mean the endings are necessarily the "same". There's characters that straight up don't exist in the show or multiple characters combined into one that only exist in the show. The awkward shoehorning of Bran being king doesn't really work when the show spent time avoiding all the magic stuff as much as possible. Or like how Daenerys goes sicko mode hearing the bells as the city surrenders is 100% a Jon Connington thing. He shit on HOTD because the material is all there but the writers still chose to do a bunch of retarded shit
A single demonic baby from Mel could've won the war if she had just target Tywin instead of Renly
>>220868874>if the show ending is just pure fanfic like everyone claimsDo people claim that? It's pretty well known the show ending is the book ending for the most part, obviously certain things will be different due to parts of the books that got cut
>>220876813it's real to me dammit
>>220876745Westeros is based on Ireland upside down. GRRM confirmed this.>George stated, "I took a piece of blank paper, what should this Westeros place look like?...I didn’t want it to look like Middle Earth...I turned Ireland upside down."
There's something incongruent with how HotD tries to tell a small intimate family story when it's supposed to be pretty large scaleat times I don't even mind it but at other times it doesn't work at all
>>220876895This>>220868874The books and the show are already different due to divergence before even the ending.>Lady Stoneheart and the Brotherhood Without Banners>The northern plotline>Winterfell besieged by Stannis's forces>Wyman Manderly>Mance Rayder being dead in the show but alive in the books>Davos going to Skgaos to get Rickon>Barristan and the Battle of Meereen>Bran and all the magic happenings beyond the Wall>Littlefinger and Sansa doing intrigue in the Vale>Griff and Young Griff invading the Stormlands with the Golden Company>The Dorne plotline>Arianne>The Kingsmoot>Victarion>The Damphair>Euron's character being completely different not to mention having fucking Valyrian Steel armor>Kevan getting assassinated by Varys>Patchface>Etc.
>jojen and rickon not dead in the booksi prefer the books
Im trying to rewatch season 2 and I keep skipping scenes its worse than I rememberseason 3 better be kino boys. Otherwise... well nothing ill keep watching dragonslop
POPPA BEAR!
>>220867447TAOOBA!
>>220878883THAT'S TAOOBA!
Was Theon a good man?
>>220867447Why is Skagos even considered part of the north?It's literally island full of cannibalistic wildlingsDid it ever respond to any calls to war?
>>220880243>Why is Skagos even considered part of the north?Ages ago the Starks invaded and forced the Skagosi to bend the knee, then promptly forgot about them.
please, ser.
bear poppa ...
>>220875154I really don't see why someone would pick Lannisters, they're better than Boltons but not by much, Tywin is the only competent (besides Jaimie being good with a sword) but as a statesmen hes a complete prick and not in a good way like Dick Cheney
>>220876508Certainly not on a battlefield, now you're just running around in circles with your fingers in your ears and screaming.
>>220882793so dick cheney is a dick?
>>220868874King Bran is the canon ending. George is contorting his enormously bloated hull to recreate the second branch of the Mabinogion.
>>220876010barely and only after they use deus ex fire to magically burn all of Stannis ships
>>220867447How does Baelor Basedspear die in this scenario?
>>220875375>true pride of riverlands>are actually exiled northmen>following a minority religion in the riverlands
>>220878883>>220879291Is this the same poster?
>>220867447There are nine kingdoms, ser
>>220883480>Um achually Dorne is a principality and thee riverlands is a lord paramountcy that was never elevated to kingdom status>*clots u on the ear for being a cheeky cunt*
>>220876687And Robb lost, with all his army with him. Proves the point. Should have tried to fight Tywin instead of running.
>>220883879>Proves the pointwhat point? him dying at a wedding has nothing to do with his war tactics. Fighting Tywin's army head on leaves too much up to chance and most likely a defeat. This kind of thinking is like when children haven't developed theory of mind or object permanence
>>220883005I think so, the new TAOOBA poster is not a phone poster and they are posted pretty close together. I like Dr Grant though he’s a nice edition to the ritual posts.
*sips*
Can I get the rundown on the crab house Celtigar?
>>220877475One of the big ones I think the fat man himself said he was unhappy they removed was Willas and Garlan Tyrell being removed. It's funny how nobody mentions how the Tyrell's in the show are completely fine with their only son joining the Kingsguard when that puts them in an even worse position then Tywin.
god I wish I lived in ASOIAF so bad I want to do labourous farm work or get killed by raiders or something, Instead I have to do my job (make videogames, it's my "dream job", please kill me)
>>220885620Craaaaab people, Craaaaab people.Taste like crab, talk like people.
>>220885783Make an actual good ASOIAF game
>>220878143>Rhaenyra dindu nuffin acktually >Lesbian shit>Wormbitch is just a jilted dyke mad her gf kissed another womanYeah, I can buy it.
how did they fuck up blood and cheese so badgenuinely asking, was it incompetence or were they scared to go all out?If you had to summarize B&C it'd be something like "A mother is forced to choose between which of her kids to have killed". You could add on that they then kill the other child and she has to live with her own child knowing her mother "wanted them killed". This is what drives Helaena insane and it's intrinsically interesting because it's about the worst thing you could do to a motherIn the show.. they ask which ones a boy.. and there's some weird gender haha which ones the boy they look similar stuff.. and then she walks around and says they killed the boywhywhywhythey went out of their way to make it bad its baffling
>>220885872Because I'm a hollywood writer so I clearly know better then the fatman
>>220885872Wut
>>220885867Ironically making Rhaenyra have everything bad associated with her reign happening behind her back or out of her control just makes her look like a highly incompetent and passive ruler that she shouldn't rule because of that alone. Bitch can't even control her council. The quest to make everything not her fault and whitewash her just makes her look bad in a different manner.
>>220885928What part was unclear? Blood & Cheese was awful in the show because they ignored the main point of it. They made it weird and goofy, for some reason. I genuinely don't get it.
For a man of such steely resolve, he sure is bitter.
>>220885987Just get in your bedroom and sit while the boys raise taxes against your will, okay, rhae-rhae?
Kek, I just saw a fake leak where Aegon got sent to labour camp and became tranny's sex slave
>>220885783Make some dogshit asoiaf mobile shovelware.
>>220885933It's stupid because people like (or at least like watching) Cersei, people enjoy watching evil characters. Rhaenyra isn't even evil but more of a smug bitch, which is more enjoyable than, uh, >>220886007especially because it then makes Dragonstone more entertaining
>>220885872What would you have them do?
>>220885860>>220886072lemme just call up John HBO and get the license for that
>>220886103I know you're memeing but you could, you know, adapt the book you're adapting
What do we think about Rhaegar?
>Rhaenyra and Alicent in some doomed lesbian love story with the nip getting cucked and seeking revenge Why are Hollywood and gays obsessed with gay love stories that end in tragedy?
>>220886131I can't believe they're actually doing itI mean I can. But jesus lmao
>>220886129Inbred retard like all Targs, next question.
>>220885964For someone so fat, he sure makes butter well.
>>220886129Representative more of an utopian golden age than a real character, like all Targaryens.
>>220886117The people adapting a show the majority of the time want to prove they are better writers by "improving" the work they are adapting, even if they typically just make it worse but huff their own farts that people didn't get it for why it was bad.
>>220886129What would you have me think?
>>220886117Don’t be ridiculous. What an absurd request.
>>220886105John Hbo is handing out licenses for pieces of string and pocket lint if the quality of work that comes out is anything to go by.
>>220886129Realistically any scenario where he wins at the Trident just seems like it creates both short-term and long-term far more problems than Robert winning. It is pure fanfic idea that him winning ushers in some golden age.
>>220876079Robb never beat Tywin once. You're thinking of Edmure.
>>220886192
What do we think Bloodraven was doing when Shiera was entertaining the knights
>>220886240>Sleeps with everyone but youImagine being Bittersteel
>>220886240What would you have us think Bloodraven was doing when Shiera was entertaining the knights?
What would you have us think of what would you have us think?
>>220886291>imagine [not having every STD in Westeros]
Rhaenyra should have been married to a Hightower and domesitcated by big first men cock, and Alicent married to one of the strong boys to correct her. Simple as.
>>220886420Rhaenyra should have had daddy issues for Otto.
>>220886007Imagine how KINO it would be if she steps away from the door and looks up at a skylight that’s there above her
>>220886358The issue is just that. I have no idea.
>It is said that the glass candles are burning in the house of Urrathon Night-Walker, that have not burned in a hundred years. —Xaro Xhoan DaxosAre we going to see a glass candle in HotD Season 3?
>>220887217Yes, Rhaenyra and Alicent will use them as buttplugs. It is empowering.
Why do Black fans exist when we already know the legal battle is a non issue? All characters outside Dorne (browns) accept the succession. Rhaenyra's son Viserys II accepts the succession. Aegon the Conqueror literally ruled over his older sister too.it's all just deeply retarded to pick the Blacks from a legal perspective
>>220887612it's all about control, everyone believing they could control rhaenyra and further their own house's influence and power. it makes sense they would grab at any small amount of legitimacy to further their own goals
>>220873058They let their soldiers rape
>>220874211*has aneurysm*
>>220887612>Why do Black fans exist when we already know the legal battle is a non issue?>the legal battle is a non issue>legal battleWesteros is an absolute monarchy, all the more so when the Targaryens had dragons. There is no "legal battle", the king's word is law and the king made Rhaenyra his heir and all his bannermen swore to uphold is command.
>>220886129He lost, and that’s gay
>>220887612>why do black stans exists It’s literally just feminists and faggots who like the imagery of a woman that isn’t charge and who has dragons. It doesn’t go any deeper than that for them, regardless of what they say
>>220888800That is in charge*
Tax policy kino incoming.
>>220888970What was the Asshai-by-the-Shadow tax policy?
>NOOOOOOOOOOOO DONT RAISE THE TAXES WITHOUT MY PERMISSION AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Poor rhaenyra, they raised the taxes without her permission and now it’s going to backfire and reflect poorly on her, that’s crazy and good writing
>>220888391>and all his bannermen swore to uphold is commandThat was before he fathered male sons.And anyway even if he didn't and it all came down to Rhaenyra vs Daemon (and they didn't wish to marry each other in this scenario), the whole proceeding was always going to be shaky as fuck and not set in stone at all. Because not even absolute kings can just pick and choose the heir they want, it's not something feasible even if it seems good short-term. It would wreck havoc in all the houses' succession lines and destabilize the whole realm, same as with allowing a female inheritance law.Back to the Rhaenyra vs Daemon's case, it would still end up in a messy civil war with some lords siding with her because they hate Daemon more and other lords siding with him because of male-preference cognatic primogeniture + rumors that Rhaenyra's heirs are all bastards.
How do the writers reconcile their idea of Rhaenyra being a strong monarch who is the best for the Iron Throne, yet also have it be she is so incredibly indecisive and without meaningful ideas that all her advisors are actually having to run everything, and she is so weak that even when they do something she dislikes she cannot stop them?
>>220888391>all his bannermen swore to uphold is command.As the Lannister said, he and many others made no such oath.
>>220888391So why is Rhaenyra not a recognized Monarch? Why does law man Stannis himself say Rhaneyra is a fraud? Because despite what some of you guys think. Absolutism is not the case in Westeros de facto or de jure.
>>220888391Then how come Aegon the Conqueror bothered to "convert" to the seven?
>>220888391Yeah, but Viserys is lame whereas based king Jaehaerys said no girls.
HBO botted the views on the latest trailer, there’s no way that many people care still
>>220889286In their heads she’s not indecisive she’s responsible and doesn’t want anyone to die. They don’t realize they invented the worst leader anyone could possibly have. Unironically an overemotional histrionic basket case like Catelyn would have a much better chance of success than HotD Rhaenyra
>>220868671Whose on the right?
>>220889409He liked the vibe. He still fucked his sisters like nothing happened which should tell you everything about who was in charge.
>>220888800>like the imagery of a woman that is in charge and who has dragonsThey channel the whore of Babylon.
>the absolutist cuck is back
>Eeekeek ookeek!
>>220887960The eyebrows were a warning
>>220890717
>>220889671ok faggot go ahead and give a meme answer cause you don't have any real ones
>>220883005No
>>220885064The threads wouldn't feel the same with TAOOBA. I'm happy the new guy took up the mantle. I was one of the substitutes after the old guy bailed but I wasn't up to the task.It'll be interesting if they can keep the dream alive till S3 starts.
