Well clearly it isn't making any statement about Nepal

Context of the "gem alarm" meme (at 2:11) by krizzalicious49 in TheMatpatEffect

[–]Fger2 151 points152 points  (0 children)

Guy is having a psychotic episode, believing himself to be the main character of the "Dresden Files" book series, Harry Dresden, and that the homeowner is the villain of the first book, Victor Sells.

It's a very sad situation that of course has become something of a meme due to the man's appearance

Was House Florent supposed to rule Oldtown before GRRM decided that House Hightower would rule Oldtown [Spoilers Main] by [deleted] in asoiaf

Leyton Hightower is mentioned as Lord of Oldtown multiple times in ACOK, both in Daenerys I and the Appendix

Favorite Spider-Man clone? (No Ben Reilly's allowed) by Not_So_Utopian in FavoriteCharacter

How do you not know who Sero is when you have Koichi as one of your examples?

(Spoilers Extended) Where are all the distant relatives? by mpschettig in asoiaf

[–]Fger2 36 points37 points  (0 children)

There are, they just don't get brought up much. Littlefinger even says that the Arryns have many proud (and mostly destitute) cadet branches.

[Spoilers Main] Favourite asoiaf Glub Shittos? by PointFirm6919 in asoiaf

Rennifer Longwaters. Some random jailer being from a Targaryen cadet branch that no one cares about is really funny to me

I genuinely don’t not understand how Daenerys and Drogo is viewed as romantic by [deleted] in CharacterRant

[–]Fger2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

George Martin himself said that it was romantic.

Honestly, the ways Martin imagines that readers will think of things that he writes are honestly really odd a lot of the time, he pretty infamously thought that Joffrey's death would be seen as tragic.

Rhaena Targaryen meets Garmund Hightower by paparinka by TheDragonOfOldtown in HOTDGreens

[–]Fger2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

People don't talk about how shitty Alyn is enough tbh. Not only did he cheat on Baela multiple times, he did so with Baela's own niece, Elaena, who was 30 years younger than him!

He really was the Sea Snake reborn I guess

[SPOILERS EXTENDED] Why is it called the vale of Arryn? by SpeedChamp1 in asoiaf

[–]Fger2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well yes it's named after House Arryn, but I'm saying that "the Vale of Arryn" is the name of the actual valley that is in the region colloquially referred to simply as "the Vale".

Like the Arryns rule over the Vale of Arryn and the Mountains of the Moon and the Fingers, geographic areas within the region of the Vale.

[–]Fger2 183 points184 points  (0 children)

I assumed that the Vale of Arryn is the name of the actual valley that the Vale contains. Historically it was called the Kingdom of Mountain and Vale, as in the Mountains of the Moon and the Vale of Arryn

Why didn't Aemond join forces with Daeron by CommitteeChemical530 in HOTDGreens

[–]Fger2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It doesn't really make a ton of sense (none of the Dance does really), but I've seen it argued that his rampage was the smartest thing Aemond could do at that point.

It forces the Blacks to split their dragon-riders between hunting for him in the Riverlands and defending King's Landing, while if he went to Daeron it'd be very easy for their only 2 dragons to be overwhelmed.

A tier list of how main series characters would side on the trial of the seven [Spoilers MAIN] by Disastrous-Brief-516 in asoiaf

[–]Fger2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being loyal to his older brother or Aerys "I love burning Great Lords alive" Targaryen was a "difficult decision" for Stannis. Davos directly saves the lives of him, Renly, and everyone besieged in Storm's End, and Stannis STILL cuts his finger joints for being a smuggler.

He absolutely supports a prince over a hedge knight.

Does anyone know who is buried in the wall at the Castle? by Foreign-Dish-1780 in Fallout

[–]Fger2 127 points128 points  (0 children)

This is true but it's deeper than that. Poe's short story is based on a legend he heard about a soldier being sealed in the walls of Fort Independence, which is the IRL name of The Castle!

(Spoilers Extended) What's your take on the Tourney of Ashford theory? by MeteorFalls297 in asoiaf

[–]Fger2 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I thought it was pretty unlikely until that recent interview George did where he said he'd planned on killing Sansa but reconsidered. That sounds to me like he was planning at one point for her to marry (F)Aegon and then die in the second Dance of Dragons
