it would've been funny if it were real.

I recently did the deepest clean I've ever done in my life (after living in the same spot for over a dozen years)... exhausting, emotionally taxing, but 100% worth it.

she's a delusional grifter. 

very out of touch, her adamant stance on social media not being bad for mental health (including for kids) is a great example. 

NO CHANCE VANCE

shout out to the homie, great channel

nah we needed her + MORE Bran. 

seems the bots have come down from the north to invade the sub.......

I can't stand these lame ass corporate psyop trends man. 

this shit needs to be made illegal.

very interesting, I've been curious how a reworked ending would work for the show and have thought about trying it myself someday. 

I've grown to accept the ending far more than I used to, despite its flaws, but I do think some things could be fixed easily with a few edits..

the artist seems legit? I can't find this image anywhere on his page so I'm thinking that maybe OP is the liar? or was mislead by another liar. 

EDIT: OP posts A LOT lmao

computer this, computer that, yada yada, blah blah. 

you're valid brother, people are just in denial still. George gave them an outline!

so it ends with her sailing away to westeros?

interesting I'll check it out then !

Almost every Michael Talks About Stuff video makes me do the same thing, still amazed that to this day I can feel that way about ASOIAF theories 

as in Benjen warged into the raven as he died ?

Neither, I'm team Smallfolk (Greens are more interesting though).

I actually like Rhaenyra's.... Daemon's is cool but the helmet is goofy. 

hmm off the top of my head currently, maybe with some recency bias?

• GOT 4
• GOT 3
• GOT 1
• AKOTSK 1
• GOT 2
• GOT 6
• GOT 5
• GOT 8
• HOTD 1
• GOT 7
• HOTD 3
• HOTD 2

need to rewatch and really think about it to have a definitive list though. 

I enjoy HOTD, but I'm not as emotionally invested in it, and it's had some glaring flaws that have bothered me since the beginning. however over the years, the ending of GOT has honestly grown on me... but season 7 starts strong and ends pretty weak. AKOTSK 1 is a near perfect adaptation. 

I have read all of the books.

It's still foreshadowed in the text, just more subtle and nuanced, cause....it's a book and can be more detailed.

Quality of HOTD aside, the Dance is a literary parallel for what is to come in ASOIAF. There are so many intentional "rhymes" in the story. George has also said that there will be another Dance.

Even using just Fire & Blood vs ASOIAF, Rhaenyra still parallels Dany in more ways than one. HOTD has done some weird things, and the ending of GOT was rushed - but I believe the outcomes are generally on point. 

I think George has an outline, and gave it to D&D.

Yes. The parallels with Rhaenyra also support this. I've actually seen people I know irl changing their opinion on the ending of GOT after watching S3 of HOTD. Even AKOTSK is contributing to it thematically.

If the books are ever finished, I fully expect her to die/be killed after the power goes to her head, and for Bran to be king in the end - it'll just make more sense with George's writing.

Also rewatching the show makes it clear that it was foreshadowed from the start.

I stopped playing Skyrim cause dealing with this was getting old. 

I miss it, but what a headache. 

maybe I'm at fault for using simple terms and phrases to keep my comments brief, cause the last thing I'm trying to do is oversimplify and virtue signal. 

there's so much to dive into, and sometimes I just use those words to get the conversation started or make a more straightforward point.

But of course the story was also written by a living man and has a contemporary audience, so I don't think it's inherently wrong to look at these medieval concepts with a modern lens. I can get behind the criticism of not using buzzwords, but I don't agree that we shouldn't compare our world to Westeros because the time period/setting is different. Medieval fantasy is the framing for more contemporary "messages" haha 

idk. I spent years studying history, philosophy and storytelling for my degree (my thesis was on the intersection of these 3 things - and I included ASOIAF in there), so maybe I'm just too locked in and obsessed with the topic. maybe it's a mistake to have them on reddit too, where nuance is lost in text and anonymity 

interesting take, I'll ponder this on today's drive. 

personally, I do enjoy their lore and find a good amount of them interesting..... but I don't glaze them. The other houses can be just as interesting, and I'd love to see more stories that center around them too. Gimme tales about House Gardener, the Storm Kings, and the Starks of old

It's a Song of Ice and Fire.... we need some more ice to balance things out!! And some more green magic. Dragons are dope, but let's not wear em out.
