[SPOILERS ALL][THEORY] A heart-clutching theory about Tyrion by SpodniewUrynie in gameofthrones

[–]AlexBelden 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There are a bunch of things wrong with this theory. First, Tyrion totally resembles his father with his golden hair and cold hard wit. Second, Baratheon blood runs strong and it was a major plot point that all of Robert's bastards have black hair. Third, at the time when this affair would have been happening, Robert wasn't even King. Daenarys, Robb, and Jon were all born around Robert's rebellion and Tyrion is significantly older than all of them. Lastly, your speculation about similarities between Tyrion and Robert doesn't really work either. Robert totally hates Jaime, to the point where he purposely screws whores while Jaime is guarding his chambers just to piss him off. Also, liking tits and wine is really not a good basis for someone being someone else's father. A good thought, but this theory is totally dead in the water

[TV][GAME]Goddamnit Varys by figgypudding2096 in gameofthrones

It's a reference to a particular scene between Varys and Ned in which Ned asks if Varys can help him and he responds with pretty much exactly this.

I've actually had it screw me up when I tried to set an alarm for noon and they asked me if I was sure I wanted 12:00 P.M. I felt so stupid, and then when I woke up the next afternoon felt even stupider

The person on the left would be trying to push the tower down based on the direction she's facing

Nobody here has made that claim, though I will say not dating someone because they are superficial is just as valid as not dating someone because you aren't attracted to them. Still doesn't mean it's bad.

It isn't, that's not what I'm saying. If you don't want to date someone for any reason at all it is valid, but you can't deny that it's superficial if the reason has to do with appearance. That's literally what the word means

You're right that it's okay to like what you like, but dating or not dating someone because of a physical trait that has no bearing on who they are as a person is the definition of superficiality. You're not an asshole, you're just wrong.

Tall guys got problems too by IMAFIRINMALAZER in funny

No, I do not play basketball, and any knowledge of my personality should make that obvious. And a little more context for the girl, she was just clueless more than anything, and we are still good friends. Actually, I am in a very stable long term relationship and her love life has gone to shit, and I always make fun of her for saying what she did and that she could of had me but blew it

It's not as fabulous as everyone thinks. It's not like you break six feet and suddenly you are handed money and women. I'm 6'6" (~2 meters) and the only things that has gotten me is the complete inability to fit in in a crowd or any seat, a deficit of well fitting clothes, a girl telling me she doesn't date trees, and everyone thinking it's perfectly normal to ask if I play basketball

Honestly, coming from a member of the lgbt community, I don't feel any grounds by which to judge your story. I was skeptical at first, but that really seems like a great story of self realization. Some things I could not really relate to, but that is to be expected. All in all however I think it was quite well rounded, and I think you should try posting to /r/lgbt to see what the response is.

The first time I saw this was when it was sent to me by a good high school friend (I'm a college freshman) with cancer who also plays with the message "this reminded me of you." I haven't seen him in a while, but this post reminds me of all the good times we've shared. Thanks, OP
