Uh... so what's a true king suppose to say??
Other people say he's the king for him.
>>224140062Kingly stuff.
"Take this nigga to the penis explosion chamber and have his penis exploded immediately" obviously
>>224140062Wasn't the line something more like "if you have to say it, you really aren't" after Joffrey kept saying I'M THE KING
>>224140062He just does his kingly duties and everyone knows that he's king by his actions.
>>224140062>
>>224140111Why would it sound more millennial?
A true king wouldn't say anything. He'd listen to his subjects, which nobody else did.
>>224140062he never recovered from this Joffrey stab
>>224140062"I am god"
>>224140182>Your father is your incestuous oathbreaking uncleBam owned
>>224140219Tywin was in complete and utter denial about that, he'd never admit it even to himself
>>224140062>Uh... so what's a true king suppose to say??He's supposed to listen, and that's what no one but Bran did.
>>224140062It's pretty easy. You say>I may or may not be the king. Say one more word and find out bald faggot.
>>224140062>I am Steve
Ackkkkkk
>>224140062Stuff like:>"I am going to rape your entire family"And: "ser Gregor, rape his peasants and his crops"
>>224140062
>>224140219>My children are fucking each other and my family has no legitimate heirsMore like self-own
>>224140062Nothing, he's supposed to listen and that's what nobody didAlso Tywin is just a larper out of his depth. Both of his runs as the Hand were terrible and his own brother was the better statesman.
>>224140182>well akshually Ser Davos Seaworth won the war by helping your other uncle tank all of Reach
>>224140062Imprison himwhen he asks for water and food, serve him piss and shit
>>224142530Some of Tywin's more retarded actions start to make sense if you consider them as a part of a long-term plan to get Jaime out of Kingsguard
>>224140139>>224140146kek
All I'm saying is, if I had been at that council meeting, it wouldn't have gone down like that.
>>224140146Came here for this.
>>224142497Kek
>>224140062Nothing. He just aura farms.
>>224140146Orys the First did. Everyone applauded his reforms, nobles and commoners alike, but he wasn't just for long. He was murdered in his sleep after less than a year by his own brother.
>>224140096penis explosion chamber? sounds like my ex wife!!
>>224140062"The King is I"
>>224140062um, i identify as king ok?
>>224140062Anything, and the people will listen.
>>224144532Im the king now
>>224140062Everyone is supposed to respect him without reminding them they have to.
>>224140182GOTTEM
>>224144711The irony here is that everybody mostly respected Joffrey until a certain point, it was his own family members like Tywin and Tyrion who had no respect for him.
>>224142497>Lancel. What a stupid name.>You don't like the Hand of the King's jokes?!>GET THE BREASTPLATE STRETCHER!!>*Robert and Ned piss themselves*KINO
>>224140062A true king knows what he's supposed to say
>>224140062GO GET THE BREASTPLATE STRETCHERNOW
>>224144280Is…is the chamber good or bad? Asking for a friend
>>224144711You gotta be a proper smooth brained dumb cunt to needs this explained to you.
>>224140062CHARAMBILLO CHARADAMM!
>>224145279God, I loved their camaraderie. It really felt like you were just sort of peeping in on a couple of guys that were old friends.
THE KING DOES NOT SAY, HE ACTS, YOU FOOL
>>224145736I BEND THE KNEE
>>224140062I am curious about his tax policy btw
Any man who must say any man who must say he is the king is no king is no king.
>>224145817Depends on whether you have autogynophilia or not.
>Any man who must say 'I am a woman' is no true woman.
I made my cousin become a Redwine with AI. Based Grok?
>Any man who must say "I'm da law" is not the law...Dredd bros...
>>224146561Don't post pictures of your relatives online you fucking weirdo.
>>224146587Im drunk and my gf trade me for a jap
>>224140062The point of the phrase is that if (you) have to remind others that you are the top authority in a room, then you clearly must not be, because if you were then a reminder wouldn't be needed to begin with.
>>224140062sneed
>>224146443Any man who must say “Any man who must say ‘I am the king is no true king’” is no true advisor of the king.
>>224146561she looks hot post her dick
>>224146600Dubs but you're still a faggot, unbelievable.
can anyone explain why Robb needed to cross the Trident via the twins when there wa is King's Road and many other ways to get to kings landings?
>>224146623She's a nice girl, by some angles she looks like a man but I would marry her if she wasn't my relative.
>>224146666If you said so, Satan, I'll shut my fuck up
Fair point. Now get out of my seat.
>>224146697my niggaz can any of you explain or no?
>>224144818No one respected him but some people feared him because he was king. He was still trash and everyone was happy when he died
please can anyone explain?
Robb could have gone around the Trident or at the very least taken the King's Road
also how come The Twins is only place like it is when there are many rivers and tributaries
>>224141319
>>224146832>Easteros>Kong Hong>Mysterios>Everything named Dothraki>Rio Grande river>Circuit City ruins>Thousand Islands. Caesar. Crouton>JonestownThis is so good wtf
>>224146832fucking Sears and Castlevania
>>224146832Carcosa
>>224146734Based cousin fucker
>>224146786Where the fuck is Storm’s End?
>>224140062"I will heap sadistic abuse upon my midget son for 40 years without regard to the potential consequences until one day he shoots me in the commode."
'Listen, I'll admit it, okay? Yeah I wanked over the twincest. It's hot and there's nothing else to do except reading books. Of course I knew about it, cersei is an actual retard. She couldn't hide in a maze.'This tywin scene give anyone else chills?
>>224140182joffrey was correct in this one instance. and for wanting a standing army rather than peasant levies too. tywin waited for a clear winner like a little pussy while bobby b was smashing dudes into dust with his hammer.tywin couldn't succeed at killing aerys while jaime could, all tywin achieved was the murder of two babies by proxy. and the widespread hatred of his house and name for generations to come of course.
Pretty sure kings just fuck kids with Mossad and women allow it because they get to see weddings and funerals every two decades and modern men are too pussy to say anything about it.
>>224147878Show invention that undermines Tywin for no understandable reason when Joffrey is supposed to be the stupid one. (The actual reason of course being that the hooknosed fucks wanted to have their own gotcha even if it doesn't make any sense.)
He doesn't say anything at allhe just listens, and that's what no one did
>>224140062'Hi, bend the knee.'
>>224148052what was?
>WE>WUZ
>>224140062>"shutup tywin your a big PLOP FACE"
>>224146734You aight nigga
>>224140219Tywin would never admit to his dysfunctional children/grandchildren outside of a private conversation with Jamie and Cersei.
>>224148052>da jooz made tywin irredeemably ruthless and evil
>>224146808he needed to get to riverrun, and the twins is the only place to cross the river unless you want to build a temporary bridge, and they had to get there fast. tywins main army was on the kings road side. plus having an accord with the freys would help protect the north. plus the plan was to have tywin think that the freys didn't let them cross, sending a small force to distract tywin, then fucking up jaime at riverrun, which obviously worked.
>>224148267That's literally the opposite of what I said you stupid circumsized mongrel.
>>224147878>and for wanting a standing army rather than peasant levies tooAnd pay them with what? The throne was already deeply in debt. Westeros simply wasn't economically advanced enough to support it. He would have to have to tax every House into poverty to achieve it when already half the Lords are either thinking of or actively rebelling.
>>224148409yeah but the idea of it happening. In reality of course nothing ever progresses in the setting and they'll still be fighting with swords in a thousand years.
>>224148369>The actual reason of course being that the hooknosed fucks wanted to have their own gotcha even if it doesn't make any sense.pretending not to understand therefore making discourse impossible.jpg
>>224145736
>>224148450velaryons simply cannot stop losing. even making the one cool guy they've had into a nig nog, holy shit. A FUCKING SEAHORSE.
>>224148448Is the new JIDF tactic to say that when you're literally doing it yourself?
>>224148522i'm still waiting for orders from tel aviv regarding this specific instance, but i'm pretty sure complaing about hooknoses "undermining" the lannisters in the tv show despite Tywin being ruthless and evil as fuck to the point of literal retardation in the source material AND the tv show means you have JDS. *tips kippah*
>>224140062>hey I got a pizza here for "The King">is there a "King" around here? If you are, just say so.>no "King" around here? Guess I'll have to eat this pizza all by myself then
>>224148295thanks anon. why didn't he go around the Twin Fork?
>>224140182You can tell the statement genuinely wounded Tywin, cracking his ego>Literally two seconds later he tries to indirectly bait Tyrion to tell him “you’re the most powerful man in the kingdom”
>>224140062My favorite part about this quote is that Bobby B mentioned being king in nearly every time he opened his mouth. I always liked how it highlighted his insecurity about seizing the crown and never being seen as legitimate.
>>224142999Checked and true facts. Tywin fucked everything up after the Red Wedding.
>>224146492AGPs don't do that. You can't jerk off to yourself in the mirror very well if you cut off your dick. Although I'm sure some extra mentally ill ones have done that and deeply regretted it. Ironically, studies show that AGPs tend to be on the high T, libido and masculinity end of the spectrum. Basically it's horny dudes that don't get laid enough and start fantasizing about being the chick they want to fuck.
>>224146734It's going to be hilarious if she ever finds this thread via reverse image search since you also posted the non-AI pic.
>>224146697Because for some reason the Twins had only bridge big enough for army to cross. All the others were too small or too far
>>224140182I don't know what's sadder, the fact that Joffrey was right and BTFOed Tywin or the fact that Tywin was trying to verbally own a 12 year old in the first place. What an absolute joke family.
>>224148442When Hannibal is coming over the mountains it's not smart to talk about how you should make armed flying machines to counter the war elephants.
>>224149140Yeah but people accepted it when he said that because otherwise he would beat your face in with a warhammer. Makes you think.
>>224149380Still baffles my mind that many book readers didn't immediately realize that she's bad and they didn't even realize it when it's literally repeated out loud while she's torturing innocent little girls and burning people alive.
>>224149737When nips are attacking your island camp it's actually very smart to talk about how you should make an experimental bomb to kill their civilians to counter the war ships. Or that's what we're thought.
>>224142999>>224149196No, Tywin was such a good Hand that it made Aerys sperg out because it made him look bad
>>224146832the 3 rivers that makeup The Trident are rather large
>>224147878>tywin couldn't succeed at killing aerys while jaime couldthis is a book thing but the Defiance of Duskendale where Aerys got kidnapped (yes) Tywin was totally about to storm the castle which would most likely kill Aerys in the process, but Barristan Selmy went sicko mode and got himself inside, extracted the king and fought his way out like John Wick because he's just based like that
>>224140062"Jump."To which your reply is "how high?" if you recognize him as your superior.
>>224149119talking politics/strategy seems to be the one thing where they can both put their hatred for each other aside because they both respect the other's opinion
>>224150075So he needlessly outshined his insecure master while already being at the peak of the ladder himself (so for no reason), thus plunging the realm into multiple civil wars? And from there everything he did would lead to the eventual destruction of his line. Even if Tyrion ends up married and procreating all Lannisters going forward will be taught that Tywin almost wiped out their house with his arrogance and hubris. He made every mistake a ruler shouldn't make just for the sake of being cartoonishly evil.
>>224150048one of the cool things about the books is how GRRM uses unreliable narration, Daenerys is the only character where the only pov that we get is from her own perspective
>>224150368We have Barristan though and he repeatedly repets how gods filp coins with Targaryens while she's torturing and crucifying children.
>On Your Knees Dog
>>224150294>needlessly outshinedhis job is to help run the kingdom and that's what he did. He unironically was one of the better Hands Westeros has seen, not his fault Aerys went schizo and started burning lords for fun. Tywin's rule was strong but brittle which is why everything fell apart after his death
>>224146832For me it's all the additional Dothraki places
>>224146697>>224146772He wanted to take the red path across the twins.If he didn't cross the twins he basically had to take a really long route through a small town and then go past his enemies.So basically since the people in this small town, with a small bridge, that would take days to get everything across, were loyal to people against him and SOMEONE would report that he was there crossing, so they could get in his way on his way to riverrun.It was the only reasonable place to cross and not have a bunch of huge issues.
>>224150438the first pov we get from Barristan is after she takes off with Drogon. People put too much weight on that coin flip quote desu, most Targaryens weren't "mad" it's just the ones that were leads to catastrophe because conventionally their dragons gave them immense power
>>224140062>what's a true king suppose to say?"Silence", "Leave", "Off with her head," "KYS", etc., and "More meat" I think, and the like.
>>224140062They just say what they want.Having to try to argue that someone needs to listen to you because "I am the king" means that you don't actually genuinely have authority.If you actually were in power you just say the thing and others listen/do it, if they tell you no or ignore you then you aren't really in power.
>>224150589>most Targaryens weren't "mad" it's just the ones that were leads to catastrophe because conventionally their dragons gave them immense powerBut it's literally there to make it clear that Dany will lead to a catastrophe where she burns everyone.
>>224150796i'm not defending her, people just take a lot of quotes like that and prophecy stuff as like a direct blueprint for the plot, the realization that embracing her "fire and blood" side looks very very different from an outside pov is kino.
>>224150075So kino that Tywin had an incest thing going on like Jaime and Cersei
>>224150898>people just take a lot of quotes like that and prophecy stuff as like a direct blueprint for the plotThey are though. Like we already know that Aegon Blackfyre will take the throne and kill Tommen and be a loved king and then Dany invades to kill everyone while bells ring.
>>224150969sure there's a lot of macro stuff that's "figured out" but prophecies are still constantly misinterpreted and fulfilled in ways people aren't expecting
>>224148052Couldn't disagree more with that. Tywin as played by Charles Dance is like the self-insert "book Tywin" writes fanfic about.
>>224140062>"I am of the night."
>>224150969massa jawge was so displeased by S8 that even if what you're describing was his plan he's pulling well away from it
>>224149247Chads become AGP?
>>224151149Well yeah because people don't understand how to read GRRM. Imagine that there's still people who unironically think that Joffrey sent the catspaw.
>>224140111No that's a direct quote in the Thread subject
>>224140062>Hot Pie!
>>224146565Hes saying RRRRRIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCOOOOOOOOOOOO in that pic.
>>224140062Any king-maker who must get into avoidable arguments with his puppet is no true king-maker.
>>224140062He's supposed to use the royal "we", only a plebe refers to himself as singular.>We, <regal name>, by the grace of God, King of <insert list of titles>
>>224140062Just like adults don't need to assert all the time that they're adults, they just are, only kids say "I'm an adult"
>>224151327>Imagine that there's still people who unironically think that Joffrey sent the catspaw.of course he did, it's one of the many quirks about the first book when the story was supposed to be much smaller, grrm had to basically break the fourth wall to confirm it
>>224140219That would hurt Tywin more than Joffrey
>>224149196The Red Wedding itself was a massive fuckup. Robb was guaranteed to lose anyway after losing the Karstarks, and such a flagrant violation of Guest Right was a moronic thing to do for anyone intending to keep a lasting peace with his family in charge.
>>224147878Joffrey was also right about Daenerys and her dragons being a potential future problem and that they should do something about it while Tywing dismissed it. Maybe he would have been an ok king in a couple of years if he outrgrew is psychopathic tendencies
>>224153074Being overly paranoid doesn't mean you are never right.That is typically why people end up that way, because they are right sometimes.Him thinking everyone was out to get him and gunning for him just because, instead of him rubbing people the wrong way by being a psychopathic asshole.
>>224147878He got his daughter made queen with practically zero effort on his part, what are you talking about? The Lannisters could have had the throne in their grasp for centuries if they hadn't fucked around so much.
>>224145736Cultural Imprint
>>224153230This king just reminds me of Don Johnson
>>224153289Fits all to well with his part in Django, eh?
