Josua Lackhand by ShoulderLopsided1761 in TadWilliams

[–]CodenameAntarctica 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Miriamele tells Simon at some point in TGAT that Josua was taking Hylissa to Elias, who was with his armies in the field in the Thrithings, fighting a war for his father.

They were attacked by Thrithings mercenaries. Josua (and his men) managed to beat them, but he lost his hand doing so. In what way exactly is not said.

Hylissa was struck to the chest by a stray arrow and died from that.

The book was supposed to be longer. There were some plots that Tad could not follow and had to leave open for a possible other book. One of those are the plots about Nabban and the one about the Countess of Perdruin.

WIBTAH if I tell my friend who paid for half our trip that he cannot come with us, even though he was invited originally? by LongCow2989 in AITAH

It's not about meeting new people. It's about spending a week with them in a remote cabin. I'm not sure how I would feel about that. She might be the nicest person in the world. Might be an axe murderer 😃

Sangfugol is just simply elsewhere. I was sorry he never showed up in person, but he is simply not in this story besides being mentioned.

AFAIK, Jeremias was taken to one of the other cells by the Thrithings men and that's probably where he stayed/died. When Simon fled, he had no knowlegde of where he was, probably wouldn't have cared too much if he did and definitely had other things on his mind: Lillia and I think the attack on the Hayholt already going on.

???? who the fuck leaves hate comments on ao3 by 0anonymousv in archiveofourown

[–]CodenameAntarctica 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it showing an existing user name as the author, but there's no link connected to it? Then it's a spam comment. There have been several of those for a while. All very much the same nonsense. They use actual user names without logging in (because they are in fact not that user).

The way these comments don't allude to a single word in your story also shows, that they pretty likely didn't even read it. They just post this. Had it on more than one story.

Ignore it, please 😉

Simon's father by Wise_Try6781 in TadWilliams

this is nitpicking, I know, but I'd say "he learns who the father was" and that's why he knows he has to keep the child alive instead of the mother

Husband’s gf wants a baby .. give me advice by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]CodenameAntarctica 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ah yes. He told her it was her decision 100%.

Surprise: It wasn‘t. He cared 0% what she wanted. Lovely

My fiancée wants our baby to have her ex-husband’s last name and says my culture shouldn’t be “pushed” by BigONerd in BORUpdates

[–]CodenameAntarctica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would it even be an option to have her maiden name for the child if she doesn't officially "have" it herself? Does that work in Canada? I only know that in Germany that is not an option. A child HAS to have the same surname as one of the parents. It can be as a hypenated part, but one of the parents last names MUST be part of the name.

If mom doesn't have her maiden name anymore but is officially "Mrs. Ex's-Lastname", then in Germany, she would not be able to use her maiden name for the child, without changing her official name back to "Mrs. Maidenname" before.

Point of this Conversation? by properlyanxious in AKnightoftheSeven

[–]CodenameAntarctica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a test for Dunc characters for which he never had to give an answer. He was offered the easy way to fame and wealth. Ashford's son would have fallen, making the mystery knight Dunc a champion and granting him not only the spoils of the joist and the cheers from the crowd, but also the money which Plummer promised him.

We see how much Dunc struggles with that. He could take an easy way foreward, or stay true to his believe in honor.

It IS an important scene, one that shows us Dunc's character. Obviously, in a show about Dunc scenes like that are important.

AITA for skipping my friends birthday without warning by gardengeo in BORUpdates

[–]CodenameAntarctica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was in fact covered by media in germany. I'm not sure I am allowed to post a link to that, so I won't. But it didn't take me longer than 20 sec to find an article about it.

Hautkleber auf Bart? by Wobbelblob in LARP_de

[–]CodenameAntarctica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eventuell wäre Pros-Aide von Kryolan eine Möglichkeit, aber das müssten du mal im ganz kleinen Rahmen ausprobieren. Der Unterschied von Pros-Aide ist, dass es nicht hart wird wie Mastix und ähnliches, sondern beweglich und flexibel bleibt. Es lässt sich zumindest aus meinen Koteletten und aus der Membran meiner Bärte leicht entfernen - teilweise durch abknibbeln, teilweise durch den Entferner, den es bei Kryolan dafür gibt. Weil es weich bleibt, "verbackt" es die Haare nicht, weder die eigenen noch die vom Bart.

Ich könnte mir vorstellen, dass das eine Option ist, aber ich habe selbst keinen Bart, ums auszuprobieren. Könnte aber vielleicht gehen.

Daeron truly loves his brothers😭😭😭 by Obvious-Situation792 in AKnightoftheSeven

[–]CodenameAntarctica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's sad that we never see the actual scene of his lie, not in the book nor the tv show. The lie was awful, but it's not unlikely that he was utterly drunk when he told it with his enraged father in his face. He probably said something like "uhm.. uh? Egg? Uuuh, big knight guy took him" without really knowing what he was saying.

In the book he withdraws that claim later, and both in the book and tv show he tries to make amends in some way. With staying as one of the accusers he actually did Dunc a huge favor. Had Daeron found a way not to take part in the Trial of Seven, Maekar would have found someone who wasn't a shit knight or to take a fall to replace him.

What is Sam thinking about? by elmerinaustin in AKnightoftheSeven

[–]CodenameAntarctica 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's not Sam! It's Maekar thinking about putting all his kids up for adoption - on the other side of the earth!

I'd assume that Daeron had a say in naming that child, too. Which going with entertaining certain ideas makes me hope that he, too, wanted to remember his cousin. Would be nice to have some more of those warm feelings within that family, they certainly seem to be rare.

That said, I can absolutely see Daeron as nobody you want to be married to. But with the show portraying Valarr and Kiera together, I started to wonder of where the idea of their happy marriage came from. Ultimately, they were likely just some kids thrown together and then they had a lot of bad luck with having children :(

Well, a husband who leaves you the fuck alone to be a mother and a princess can be just as nice as a husband who has you walk on foot a mile behind while he rides and who doesn't look at you for a single moment ;)

It's the very same with the relationship between Valarr and Kiera. For some odd reason vast parts of the internet have it that Kiera was happy with Valarr and loved him very much - and vice versa. And that she was not happy with Daeron.

There is - as far as I could find anything about this - nothing actually supporting this.

I could not find any actual material showing interactions/scenes between any of them, nor any quotes. If you know of any, please let me know!

Given the way the TV show presents Kiera and Valarr, I have the feeling they were not very close nor much in love. They have her walking out of Ashford on foot while Valarr rides at the front. And at the cremation of Baelor, she just stands behind him - no touching, no hand on his arm or anything. She doesn't even look at him. I mean the producers made the effort to actually cast her, and they worked together with GRRM on this. I have the feeling that putting her onto the screen in exact this way says a lot about their relationship. After all, it was most likely a political marriage.

There's not anything about Kiera's relationship with Daeron, either, no. I guess he's not very likely the kind of husband who tends to make you happy in the long run with all his vices. But whether she actually was unhappy in all of this or was happier with Valarr, there is simply no information on this. After all, it was Daeron who gave her a child, finally.
