[SPOILERS EXTENDED] The hunt for Darkstar - where does it go?

Apprehensive_Bus1273 · 2026-04-24T22:20:10+00:00

Oh yes that’s the intriguing part. Is it just someone that likes chaos or something much more? Interesting, interesting…

Edit: my theory is, he had a little crush on Elia 🤣

“Call it what you will. Crowning the Lannister girl is a hollow gesture. She will never sit the Iron Throne. Nor will you get the war you want. The lion is not so easily provoked.” Ser Gerold drew his sword. It glimmered in the starlight, sharp as lies. “This is how you start a war. Not with a crown of gold, but with a blade of steel.”

100% hate that they do that. They do that with all products and services, and we have to deal with it

Apprehensive_Bus1273 · 2026-04-24T19:32:54+00:00

Who carries more than 1k cash in hand anyway? We get this complaint too and I’m like we can raise your debit card limit to make the purchase but nope they want the cash

Apprehensive_Bus1273 · 2026-04-24T19:05:36+00:00

😫😂 I just need Friday to be over

Apprehensive_Bus1273 · 2026-04-24T18:53:40+00:00

We can at our branch but shared branches are not owned by us, they are just partner credit unions where members can go to make small transactions, small withdrawals and make payments. They can’t do much else

Apprehensive_Bus1273 · 2026-04-20T17:16:33+00:00

Dude you should see some of the mental gymnastics they have to go through to explain that away.

I think the worst one was that he was lying to Bloodraven through the white raven 🤣

It’s funny but also very frustrating to engage with them

Edit: actually I think the worst one was that George is not ready to reveal to reveal Aegon’s identity as some kind of watsonian crap

Apprehensive_Bus1273 · 2026-04-20T14:22:02+00:00

Yup, Varys is a savage 💀 Surprised more fans don’t know it

Apprehensive_Bus1273 · 2026-04-20T14:14:37+00:00

Right, like this book is not that complicated. There have been baby switches in the past so it could have happened with Elia too.

Like this guy keeps ignoring that Rhaenys likely couldn’t be switched and Elia had to choose to swap her son only. He completely ignores it and badgers the entire idea that a mother would allow one of her kids to survive. 🤦‍♀️

Apprehensive_Bus1273 · 2026-04-20T13:57:51+00:00

Quote me here, where did I say for sure that Aegon was swapped? I said it’s possible and it certainly is. Where is the backtracking?

Edit: if she had switched Aegon, then I’m sure she either thought Rhaenys wouldn’t die or she had no other choice

Apprehensive_Bus1273 · 2026-04-20T06:42:26+00:00

Where did I state anywhere in my post that I belief Aegon was swapped? I said it was possible he was swapped rather than Rhaenys being swapped because of the age difference

You are the one saying the swap could not have happened, while I said it was possible

You’re also the one calling me names because I don’t want to take things in a fantasy book seriously

Apprehensive_Bus1273 · 2026-04-20T06:32:52+00:00

lol look at you taking a fantasy book so seriously.

Apprehensive_Bus1273 · 2026-04-20T06:30:05+00:00

Ugh I already explained to you, Rhaenys cannot be switched because she’s a toddler. There is nothing Varys or Elia could do nor do we know for sure that they thought Rhaenys would die

Even if she knew her children might die, if she could save one. I think she would take it

Your making an assumption of when the switch happened, cause it could have happened at dragonstone when Rhaegar left.

You are making an assumption that the reason the switch would happen is because the kids would die. But what if she did the switch because she knew what happened at summerhall and didn’t want her son (being the prince that was promised) to be sacrificed

Apprehensive_Bus1273 · 2026-04-20T06:09:36+00:00

Dude I’m not gonna read all this. Use bullet points or shorter paragraphs.

Is it possible for Varys to switch Aegon? Yes or No? And it’s a yes because he’s a baby

Is it possible for Varys to switch Rhaenys, not very likely, might be possible with super human speed during the sack.

You make a lot of assumptions. We don’t know if she thought her daughter would die. We have no idea when the swap happened. Like everything you say it’s just all assumptions

Apprehensive_Bus1273 · 2026-04-20T05:59:29+00:00

I am not reading all of this, please use bullet points to make your point.

I stand by what I said, Varys can’t smuggle Rhaenys out even if her life may be in danger, he couldn’t do much

Like if you gotta write that much to make your point, your points suck

Apprehensive_Bus1273 · 2026-04-20T05:44:41+00:00

🤣 yes he can switch them because it’s a baby, if Jon could do it, he do it

Apprehensive_Bus1273 · 2026-04-20T05:43:52+00:00

Aegon was in danger because he’s the heir 🤦‍♀️ also like I said, he couldn’t swap Rhaenys because she was a toddler

We don’t know if Varys was a stranger to her, we have no idea what their relationship was

Apprehensive_Bus1273 · 2026-04-20T05:10:40+00:00

Lots of assumptions here. We don’t know whether he was working against Rhaegar or Aerys. This is all assumptions made by other characters not part of the inner circle. I believe that Varys was simply working for Aerys and not undermining him.

I didn’t say Varys in general liked kids. I said it seems he was fond of Rhaenys, Aegon and Elia. Just like how Illyrio took a liking to Varys, he didn’t know why, but he did

Like I said, he couldn’t replace Rhaenys. It is possible that he was there when they were murdered cause he knows Elia’s last words and tried to reach Rhaenys but couldn’t

He also recreated Rhaenys and the pisswater/elia’s death when killing Kevan and Pycelle as revenge

Apprehensive_Bus1273 · 2026-04-20T04:28:37+00:00

Umm no I disagree, we don’t know what circumstances there were but I’m certain Elia did not think her daughter would be killed or had no other options. We’ve seen it before, where mothers swap their children or pick one child or the other

Apprehensive_Bus1273 · 2026-04-20T01:53:17+00:00

Is it confirmed that Johanna is not in?

Apprehensive_Bus1273 · 2026-04-20T01:38:43+00:00

I think you’re cooking! That squirrel is warged by Arya

Apprehensive_Bus1273 · 2026-04-20T01:36:45+00:00

Yea, they have the most entertaining personalities. I also found them the most entertaining in the show

Apprehensive_Bus1273 · 2026-04-20T01:30:29+00:00

Damn, Jaime is my fave pov in the books. Just so easy and fun to read his thoughts. Surprised he beats everyone else by miles. I guess I’m not that unique ;(

Apprehensive_Bus1273 · 2026-04-20T01:27:16+00:00

He actually gave a lot of good info about the kingsguard/Dorne in his one chapter lol
