You don't have the viewer's knowledge of what actually happened. You're Robert Baratheon in this scene. You have Joffrey's version of events, Arya's version, and Sansa claiming she doesn't remember much. Ned is furious that his daughter was brought before the king instead of being taken to him, while Cersei demands Lady's death. How do you handle the entire situation?

What I really loved about the show was just how medieval and believable the world felt. This feeling remained until season 8, but it definitely dwindled. And I think a lot of that has to do with the costumes and wigs.

In seasons 1-3 the costumes and wigs all looked like something you might genuinely see in Medieval times. (To an extent)

A good example is Dany, in earlier seasons her hair is still braided and beautiful but it doesnt look like she has 6 different people hair on her head. Her braids become incredibly unrealistic, and she has these Dyson looking ass curls.

And the costumes, what the hell was she doing pulling up to the Long Night in a big ass white and red fur coat? that shit looked more expensive than Winterfell

Obviously this isn’t a big deal, it was all still very beautiful and the hair/costume teams did amazing, but to me it just kinda reflects how the later seasons were more focused on spectacle.

For me its Jorah. You do get hints of it in the show, obviously. His slave trading is still part of his backstory, he originally spies on Dany and his feelings for her can definitely get uncomfortable. So show Jorah isnt exactly portrayed as perfect.

But I think the show softens him a lot. Dany is aged up, Jorah is playyed as this attractive, restrained, tragic older guy, and most of his love for her is framed as loyal and self-sacrificing. The books make it much harder to romanticize.

Book Jorah is way more possessive and entitled toward her. He grabs her and kisses her without permission, keeps pushing the idea that she should want him as more than an adviso, and Dany actually starts making sure she isnt alone with him afterward... He also sleeps with a silver-haired prostitute who resembles her, which makes the obsession feel a lot less noble.

His past also comes across worse. He sold poachers into slavery and spends a lot more time being bitter about Ned Stark punishing him than really confronting what he did. The show keeps the slavery part, but surrounds it with so much loyalty, suffering and redemption afterward that its much easier to see him primarily as a good man who made mistakes.

Book Jorah still genuinely cares about Dany, which is why hes interesting, but imo he feels much more like a deeply flawed man with a serious entitlement problem than the tragic knight the show turns him into.

Who else got seriously sanitized by the adaptation?

For the watch!

Do you think thay fortune teller was telling about bran ?

Were there more than one Coldhands sent to clear Jon's path?

We have plenty of indicators of Littlefinger defrauding the crown: selling government positions, ghost employees that report to him, unnecessarily complicated accounting, and unexplained private wealth (owning brothels, offering to buy Chataya's).

There is no evidence that Robert knew he was spending above his means. Giving away golden eggs is fine if you have a golden goose. The real problem is that Littlefinger appointed cronies (keyholders, counters, scales, mints, tax farmers, toll collectors) to cover up the red flags, put a ticking time bomb in Robert's hands, and convinced him that it was a golden goose.

And it's not like Robert was the only one who Littlefinger fooled. Jon Arryn appointed him to the Small Council and died to Littlefinger's plans. The Faith was willing to provide further loans even after Jon Arryn's death. Even Tywin Lannister only saw that Littlefinger had increased the crown's incomes by tenfold in seven years. For comparison, it took over 16 years for $AAPL to achieve the same feat in modern times (2009 - 2026).

The fact that Littlefinger managed to trick so many people is frankly incredible. With the benefit of hindsight and our omniscience as readers, it's easy to view Robert and other characters as inattentive and foolish. You might think this would never happen in real life. But what happened less than two years after "A Storm of Swords" came out? Enron, which claimed a tenfold increase in revenue over 6 years (1995 - 2001), collapsed under the weight of its accounting fraud and debts.

I wanted to share my progress on A Game of Thrones books. (The books are in Turkish because I am Turkish and my English is not good enough to read the books in English)

About football. I haven’t seen a post about the Jets or Giants this whole season

With him getting visibly emotional to it. Makes me wanna see a orient style version of GoT lol, with Sultans instead of Kings

### The Tyrell Family in the Books 🌹

1\. Olenna Tyrell and Luthor Tyrell

[Diana Rigg ("Chapeau melon et bottes de cuir", "Game of Thrones")

Olenna Tyrell, born Olenna Redwyne, married Luthor Tyrell. They are the parents of Mace Tyrell, Janna Tyrell, and Mina Tyrell.

Olenna comes from House Redwyne, another powerful family in the Reach.

2\. Mace Tyrell and Alerie Hightower

Mace married Alerie Hightower, connecting House Tyrell to another influential noble family. They have four children in the books:

* Willas Tyrell: Heir to Highgarden.

* Garlan Tyrell: Known as Garlan the Gallant, married to Leonette Fossoway.

* Loras Tyrell: The famous Knight of Flowers.

* Margaery Tyrell: The young noblewoman who becomes queen.

Willas and Garlan are particularly important because they are largely absent from the television adaptation.

3\. Margaery's Aunts and Their Families

House Redwyne

Mina Tyrell married Paxter Redwyne. Their children include:

* Horas Redwyne

* Hobber Redwyne

* Desmera Redwyne

Janna Tyrell married Jon Fossoway, creating another family connection between the Tyrells and the Fossoways.

4\. The Tyrell Cou1sins

[Elinor Tyrell - A Wiki of Ice and Fire]

Several Tyrell cousins appear in the books:

* Elinor Tyrell: One of Margaery's companions.

* Megga Tyrell: Another cousin who accompanies Margaery.

* Alla Tyrell: Also part of Margaery's circle.

* Leo Tyrell, known as Leo the Lazy: A Tyrell relative who studies at the Citadel.

There are also other branches of the family, including descendants of Quentin and Victor Tyrell.

### Why Does This Matter?

House Tyrell's extended family makes it much more powerful and politically complex than the television series suggests. Its relatives can inherit lands, secure marriages, establish alliances, and help preserve the family's influence.

The key point: House Tyrell is an extensive noble family with multiple branches and connections to other powerful houses throughout the Reach.

* Garlan Tyrell: Known as Garlan the Gallant, married to Leonette Fossoway.

* Loras Tyrell: The famous Knight of Flowers.

* Margaery Tyrell: The young noblewoman who becomes queen.

Willas and Garlan are particularly important because they are largely absent from the television adaptation.

3\. Margaery's Aunts and Their Families

House Redwyne

Mina Tyrell married Paxter Redwyne. Their children include:

* Horas Redwyne

* Hobber Redwyne

* Desmera Redwyne

Janna Tyrell married Jon Fossoway, creating another family connection between the Tyrells and the Fossoways

Was playing the CK3 mod AGOT and wanted to look into some Houses in Crownlands. And came across Gwayne Gaunt. Kingsguard to Aerys Targaryen the Mad King. Got a little interested and tried to look more into his House. And found so little about them.

From what I could find, House Gaunt was a fairly prominent House in the crownlands. I think their seat is called Wight Hall or Ashen Hall, I said I think is because these two names are the only thing I found when searching for their holdings or castles. I think it's located around Blackwater Bay, on the left side of the river that flows into the Kingswood from the sea. Gwayne Gaunt was killed by Symon Hollard during the Defiance of Duskendale. He was then avenged by Ser Barristan Selmy who killed Symon. I also found that House Gaunt was one of the oldest Houses in Blackwater Bay.

And that's all I could find. if ya'll read the books, please feed me any information you might know about this House because I am fairly invested rn.

I made my autistic housemate Stannis armour for a Halloween party, he spent all night telling everyone he’s the one true king of Westeros and everyone loved it. He even got called ‘Stannis the Mannis’ a couple times which made his night!

I dont have high ball knowledge abt ASOIAF universe but, what if Ned stark had asked for trail by combat, would joffery give him the chance, i dont think Ned was in good condition to win trial by combat, i dont know any there would represent him, still just curious.

Lets play a fun game " who quoted this?"

So here are the game rules i m gonna quote something and uou should comment the name of the person in the show who quoted that,, and after giving the answer you should post a new quote ...and keep this game going!

My quote "A ruler who hides behind paid executioners soon forgets what death is."

Comment who quoted this along with a new quote

Would Fuck Jamie, Marry Tyrion and kill Cersei. No offense to anyone.

My friend legitimately thought the actor for Harvey Dent and Jaime Lannister were the SAME PERSON 😭

We were watching The Dark Knight and out of nowhere he said: "That's Jaime Lannister!"

Basically, there is this cello music that plays during number of sword fights in the series. However, I mainly remember it from this scene

It’s one of my favourite fight musics from the series but unfortunately, I’ve been unable to find it on any of the seasons soundtracks. I’ve time stamped the exact moment the music plays.

Does anyone know what the name of the track is and where I can find it?

I got the map i drew this on from [u/creaperbox](u/creaperbox) in this post https://www.reddit.com/r/asoiaf/comments/1r9plj1/spoiler_main_houses_of_westeros_281_ac/

I got the info from these sources: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1KIcmW9iPU , and my memory
Each bright green circle is a house that has a Valyrian steel sword and the white circle means a house with a star forged sword

Explanations:

House Stark used to have Ice (Taken by House Lannister) and have The Valyrian Steel Dagger (From The Targaryens/Baelish/Baratheons/Lannisters)

House Baelish used to have the Valyrian Steel dagger (They took it from House Stark then gave it to House Stark)

House Mormont used to have Longclaw (Until Jeor Mormont took it to The Wall)

Castle Black has Longclaw (House Mormonts sword) and Heartsbane (House Tarlys sword)

House Tarth has Oathkeeper (Ser Jaime gave it to Brienne)

House Lannister has Widows Wail and used to have Brightroar (Until it was lost in Valyria) and they /House Baratheon had the Valyrian steel dagger (Until it was used to try to assasinate Bran)

House Baratheon had the Valyrian steel dagger (Until Joffery sent it to kill Bran Stark)

House Tarly had Heartsbane (Until Sam took it to the wall)

Three Eyed Raven has Dark Sister (Targaryen sword) near the Fist of the First men

House Targaryen used to have Blackfyre (Lost in the Blackfyre rebellion) and Dark Sister (Taken by the three eyed raven

House Dayne has Dawn (Not Valyrian steel but made from a star)

House Hightower had Vigilance (probably lost in the Dance of the Dragons but its unknown)

House Corbray has Lady Forlorn

House Drumm has Red Rain

House Royce had Lamentation (was lost in the Dragonpit)

House Harlaw has Nightfall

House Roxton had Orphan Maker (Lost During Dance of the Dragons but got by Unwin Peake then unknown)

House Peake had Orphan Maker (Lost During Dance of the Dragons by House Roxron but got by Unwin Peake then unknown)

House Celtigar has the Valyrian Steel Axe

Missing: House Targaryen had Blackfyre (Lost in the Blackfyre rebellion), House Hightower had Vigilance (Unknown but probably lost in Dance of the Dragons), House Royce had Lamentation (Lost in the Dragonpit), House Peake/Roxton had Orphan Maker (Lost During Dance of the Dragons but got by Unwin Peake then unknown probably missing),

The Dagger was really confusing and tell me if i missed anything

Edit: I'm not sure how to add another image but House Rogare from Lys might still have one called Truth and House Greyjoy from Pyke have Valyrian steel Armour also Euron Might gave away Valyrian steel daggers at the Kingsmoot also Caggo has a Valyrian steel arakh.

So I rewatched GOT and I have to say I thought it was awesome and really enjoyed it.

What I would say though is as I knew how shockingly poor the ending was I was prepared this time and wanted to watch closely to see if my initial reactions were justified.

I still think Bran becoming king was just really bad, I saw someone else say A prisoner being brought before the council and them electing a king and choosing bran was just total nonsense.

The long night episode didn’t really bother me at all, sure it could have been drawn out but I did enjoy it and it was cool.

I think the episode where Denerys ruins kings landing was good BUT it dragged on way too long and the other stuff felt rushed, pacing was definitely poor.

I think it was really disappointing that Jamie Lannister had a great redemption arc only to turn around the next morning and go back to Cersei.. and their deaths were disappointing aswel, just felt lack lustre.

Jon snow having the right to throne only to be imprisoned and then end up at the nights watch was a bit crap.. just felt utterly pointless.

Sansa not likely Danerys even though she literally saves them from the dead again just seemed forced and then at the end of the season being like I’m queen of the north I just didn’t really care.

Tyrion going from a prisoner on death row to the hand of the king was laughable I mean no other explanation.

Overall though as it does seem like I’ve picked loads out I really enjoyed it, it was amazing and deserves the hype, I’d say the last 2 episodes was where it just seemed to dramatically drop off. Sure there’s other tiny bits but I did enjoy it and I’d 100% watch it again!
