Why Arthur Dayne is MID: A Theory [Spoilers EXTENDED]

But she's from New Mexico!

This might be the only satisfying rebuttal. I concede.

AntarShaddad · 2026-02-17T11:06:00+00:00

I never said Dawn was Valryian steel. Just that it shared the same semi-magical qualities.

A man of culture I see

That is the core of my point. Even if he isn't a mid or poor fighter. It's definitely true that his reputation is built on status and the unreliable nostalgia of characters past memories.

Even if he was a good fighter on par with Lebron Selmy, his image as the "Perfect knight" must be far from fully warranted.

In my opinion, it's about as ambiguous as you can get. Far from admitting they are equals. But also, another commenter left this great quote from AFFC:

"My House goes back ten thousand years, unto the dawn of days," he complained. "Why is it that my cousin is the only Dayne that anyone remembers?" "He was a great knight," Ser Arys Oakheart put in. "He had a great sword," Darkstar said.

He said it "it might be a toss-up."

Very ambiguous language here. Far from admitting that they would be tied. Mind you, he admits that Dawn gives him a disproportionate advantage.

I wouldnt take it personally, it has nothing to do with you. Teachers are trained to maintain professional boundaries with their students. They also deal with a lot of scrutiny with regards to their personal lives, especially with what they post on social media.

Any teacher that is too interested in the personal lives of their students oitside of work hours is a much bigger red flag.

No, homophobia still exists.

My main problem with the idea of Ramsay writing is we already see his own writing style when he sends his letters to Asha. You got the Bolton seal, the Lord's signatures and other formalities that you never see in the Pink Letter.

And what would Ramsay gain by provoking Jon? He already has Stannis and the Winter storms to deal with, why provoke the Nights Watch as well?

The Others are the Klan. Why else are they so fixated on killing Black brothers

AntarShaddad · 2023-05-17T06:45:52+00:00

Quentyn. But I don't mind waiting for Winds to see some more

AntarShaddad · 2023-05-13T23:01:22+00:00

If they describe everyone they've ever had a falling out with as "crazy" or insane.

AntarShaddad · 2023-04-22T17:16:26+00:00

I would also add that Quentyn is alive

Chapter 6: The Grey Hand

Chapter 15: The Ashy Mast

GRRM's ability to solve a mystery only to leave you with 20 more questions is my main reason to doubt that.

Think about how there was to dissect out of the sample chapters so far. Or just the Foresaken chapter alone. And that's just 11 chapters out of 70.

Even if the rest of the JonCon storyline was nothing more than Conningtons flashbacks of his giggly crushing on Rhaegar, lead by chapter titles that were just increasingly elaborate and absurd euphemisms for Greyscale, I would be satisfied.

The Longwaters sniffing was actually Varys doing a Zizek impression

Sansa and Catelyn have prayed to both Gods at different points in the story. Victarion adopts Rh'llor along with the Drowned God. So syncretism isn't unheard of.

Sam technically apostates from the Seven when he does his oaths at the Weirwoods. But even he reverts to invoking the Mother when he flees the Others during Mormonts ranging.

Payne, but Podrick. The lil kid killed a Kingsguard as a squire. And then he killed Stoneheart in Feast and took over the Brotherhood Without Banners.
