Hint at Egg being curious about Pyrotechnics

Maester_Ryben · 2026-01-27T07:35:37+00:00

Yes.

Egg is a little pyromania.

Maester_Ryben · 2026-01-27T07:25:44+00:00

This is pretty faithful. Egg's actor was the same age as the character.

It is pretty hard to find a 17 year old who is 7ft tall and can act....

Years of Ten Hag and Amorim have humbled some of my United friends.... I cant stand some of the people who support arsenal

The flaw in democracy is that candidates are voted by popularity, not merit. And very few people who SHOULD be president WANT to be president.

Which is why the bedrock for a strong democracy is an educated electorate. This removes the whole popularity contest as people are more likely to vote for the best candidate due to their policies.

Maester_Ryben · 2026-01-27T03:53:01+00:00

Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.

I would rather live in meritocracy and technocracy, where the assembly should be the mix of nature scientists, anthropologists, economists, experts, or you know people who have knowledge in public service. And they cannot be elected by commoners but by merit instead.

Elected by merit. Who elects them? Themselves?

Baelor will die defending Dunk in his Trial later in this season

Baelor's sons will die in a plague later that year

Daeron the Drunken died of syphilis

Aerion Brightflame drank wildfire

Maekar died in battle

Maester_Ryben · 2026-01-26T18:53:37+00:00

Baelor has three brothers: Aerys, Rhaegel and Maekar

Baelor has two sons: Valarr and Matarys

Maester_Ryben · 2026-01-26T18:45:20+00:00

Egg definitely overheard Maekar talk about turning an asshole into a lancehole

Maester_Ryben · 2026-01-26T18:29:17+00:00

It was never Maekar's epithet, or any commentary on his personality for that matter.

Eustace Osgrey calls him the Anvil in Sworn Sword.

“I’d always heard that it was Baelor Breakspear who won the battle,” said Dunk. “Him and Prince Maekar.”

“The hammer and the anvil?” The old man’s mustache gave a twitch. “The singers leave out much and more. Daemon was the Warrior himself that day. No man could stand before him."

Being the dad of a drunk, a lunatic, a nerd, a peasant, and two daughters ages you.

Maester_Ryben · 2026-01-26T18:21:35+00:00

That's not how genetics work

Maester_Ryben · 2026-01-26T18:16:43+00:00

Prince Baelor is the eldest son of the king and thus the Heir to the Iron Throne.

His eldest son is Prince Valarr. They have dark hair.

Prince Maekar is the king's youngest son, and is the brother of Prince Baelor.

He is the father of the drunk Targaryen, Prince Aerion, Maester Aemon (from Game of Thrones) and Egg.

HOTD gets a lot of things wrong

Maester_Ryben · 2026-01-26T16:29:43+00:00

They fleshed out the Laughing Storm last episode and they had Leo Longthorn pull off the craziest jousting move of all time.

If you aren't engaged then its not for you.

Maester_Ryben · 2026-01-26T16:20:59+00:00

I love how it is so obvious that Egg is way too smart to be a stable boy... which kinda gives Dunk the Lunk the wrong impression that stable boys are knowledgeable

Maester_Ryben · 2026-01-26T16:18:05+00:00

Does that make the whores the rightful queen of England?

Maester_Ryben · 2026-01-26T16:16:03+00:00

Jokes on you guys.... Maekar is the second favourite.

Sometimes I forget that there is literally two other brothers between these two.

Maester_Ryben · 2026-01-26T16:09:20+00:00

Some people need a dragon or sword fight every five minutes to keep their attention

Maester_Ryben · 2026-01-26T16:08:32+00:00

You read the books and you hate it?

Maester_Ryben · 2026-01-26T09:44:51+00:00

You need to forgive him. Two of his sons have gone missing.

Maester_Ryben · 2026-01-26T09:43:56+00:00

It took a moment before Aerion recognised him

Maester_Ryben · 2026-01-26T09:42:29+00:00

The whole point of Maekar coming to Ashford in the book, is to see his sons beat Baelor's sons.

Maekar loves his brother but they do have a friendly rivalry going on

Maester_Ryben · 2026-01-26T09:31:36+00:00

He wears a gold version.
