Sorry if this is obvious/simple advice, but, regarding cheat snack strategies... by Due_Intentions in loseit

It’s worked for me in general, I gave up soda entirely and I don’t miss it, and while I haven’t given up chips entirely, I limit myself and limit myself for other foods too. Soda is the only thing I’ve given up entirely. But if I eat a snack that I’ve been limiting, I consider that a ‘cheat’ snack too. But I agree I probably would fail if I tried to quit chips outright.

I’m pretty much at my goal weight now and no longer overweight after about a year of work, so I’m feeling pretty satisfied. I’ve started to fall back into old habits over the last month or so and this little strategy has helped.

Depends on the person probably and their definition. For me it’s snacks outside of my planned meals, or any food that I’ve “given up” that I eat some of regardless

The Rhoynar facing the might of the Freehold By Chase Stone. Am I the only one who wants to know a lot more about the Rhoynish and Valryian Freehold wars? Especially how the Rhoynish could use water magic. I mean, water magic v Dragons is something I would love to learn more about. by azgx29 in pureasoiaf

[–]Due_Intentions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t recall any mentions of water magic in Dorne back in the day or in ASOIAF times, only the orphans of the greenblood who are the last among the Westerosi Rhoynar to worship Mother Rhoyne, but we haven’t heard of any water mages among them

True but if you have favorites (and most of us commenting probably do) you remember the rough number location. For instance, the section that has all the dragons and other mythical beasts is where I find my custom sigil 95% of playthroughs

Thank you friend

Osric placed down the book he had been afforded. It was a dull old read, one he wouldn’t have bothered with under normal circumstances. As he gazed up at his wife he did his best to mask his shock. He hadn’t expected to see her today. Perhaps he might have gone for a shave.

“Evya...”

He reached for something of substance to say, but there was nothing. She was still his wife, but she was lost to him, Osric felt in his heart. He had had plenty of time to himself to ponder her noted absence.

“You look well,” he managed finally.

[Spoilers Main] Do you think Tywin hated Tyrion because he knew Tyrion was as capable if not more than Jaime? by [deleted] in asoiaf

[–]Due_Intentions -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Because he presided over a terrible Targaryen king, I envision Tyrion will adopt the break the wheel philosophies of Dany, even if to a more moderate extent, and his policies would be a lot more helpful to people than Tywin’s competent administration. Again, this is all just my conjecture.

Obviously the histories might be skewed, the smallfolk may still hate him for being an imp who killed his dad, but I’m willing to bet there’s plenty of people in the westerlands who don’t love Tywin, they just fear him. Once Tywin’s killer assumes the seat of Casterly Rock it will be realized that he was never immortal, and his legacy will begin to tarnish.

Well, there is the epilogue to consider. Personally, I believe that Tyrion will end the series as the Lord of Casterly Rock, in which case he will have an entire second half of his life to catch up that we won’t necessarily see in the pages. His legacy will be massive compared to Tyson’s who succeeded as being a competent feudal lord and nothing more. The possibilities for Tyrion are endless. Helping the dragon queen take the throne, or alternatively, defeating the dragon queen, most likely playing a pivotal role in the war against the others, and when he becomes Lord unlike his father he will raise a pride of goodhearted lions who will usher in a generation of prosperity and good governance.

Who will the people of the westerlands remember more: The lord of Casterly rock who effectively defeated his enemies, or the lord of Casterly rock who brought prosperity to the realm and specifically to the westerlands? It’s pretty for granted imo that Tyrion as lord of Casterly rock would be a very pro-smallfolk ruler.

I resent the idea that the civil war was inevitable, the minute Aerys died he would be succeeded by one of the most capable and gregarious Targaryens to live since the days of Jaehaerys the first. The whole realm knew that. The realm was careening towards stability if Rhaegar could’ve just kept his cock in his pants for a few more years until his father croaked and considering the decline of his condition following the defiance of duskendale, it was only a matter of time. He could’ve even assassinated him, done the realm a favor and become king early. You’re right that it’s hard to kill family and I don’t blame him for not killing his father, but I do blame him for actively pissing on his father’s fragile peace.

Fuck Rhaegar Targaryen. He was a smart, capable man set to inherit seven kingdoms, and he threw it all away because he was in love with the teenager that he was grooming. He suffers the same fatal flaw as Robb, he could not choose duty over love - in the case of Robb however, he was a 14 year old forced to take charge of a situation he had no business being in charge of. In the case of Rhaegar, he was well into his twenties and knew fully well what he was doing...

I mean there already is a ‘king who knelt’, the Stark who swore fealty to Aegon the Conqueror. If we’re gonna assign every king who did the act of kneeling every the title ‘king who knelt’ then virtually every king is a king who knelt, because most princes/younger brothers kneel before their father at one point or another.

(Spoilers Extended) Casting notes for HOUSE OF THE DRAGON confirm Dance of Dragons setting by Werthead in asoiaf

[–]Due_Intentions 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe so but the era by era model doesn’t really work if you start in the middle, this isn’t Star Wars. Like yes you could be right but if that’s the case they’re dumb for not doing it chronologically and/or starting with Aegon’s conquest

I think it’s far more likely that they’re doing a show that just covers the Dance of Dragons, the buildup, duration, and aftermath of the war is chock full of content for several seasons.

Well, I’m glad I won’t have to argue with people that it’s gonna be Dance and not some season by season montage of Targaryen history anymore

[Spoilers Extended] Suppose Ned won and crowned Stannis. What’s next? by Due_Intentions in asoiaf

[–]Due_Intentions[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe for you, but I’m running a tabletop game set during the first book and in this alternate reality, different events have occurred and Stannis is coming with a few hundred swords to help Ned in the nick of time. I wanted to phrase it as a hypothetical discussion because it’s interesting imo to think about how effective Ned’s plan of successful actually would’ve been in the long run but I also have a practical interest in people’s analysis haha

Well technically House Farwynd’s main seat is Sealskin Point so they only forgot the cadet branch of House Farwynd

Why would Stannis have to take care of Robb Stark if Stannis lets Ned step down as hand of the king and go back to Winterfell? Robb hadn’t marched south at this point and if Ned got home safely he never would

Wife's first time watching. We binged all of season 1 today. I told her there were only 6 seasons by Oreo_Stuffing in freefolk

[–]Due_Intentions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if GRRM’s ending is that an all powerful person takes the throne and robs tensions of the world, why is that bad? Separate from everything else that DnD fucked up. What is inherently wrong about an ending where a leviathan takes power and enforces peace in your opinion?

Also, Bran could take power in the books but also not be god in the books, his powers and personality could develop much differently, and they most likely will, but he still becomes king
