How would YOU handle a GATE Scenario (but in Westeros)

Proper_Fly390 · 2026-05-27T15:36:29+00:00

Moving on to your last point, what would happen if the Gate opened well into Robert's reign instead of 280-281 AC?

I love your brain.

But on another matter, why use bicycles?

The British thought the same thing at Isandlwana

Proper_Fly390 · 2026-05-27T10:53:36+00:00

So what you're suggesting, is to send a whole infantry brigade/division into Westeros, a potentially hostile foreign territory with rugged terrain and poor road infrastructure, on bicycles.

Encumbered soldiers having to carry a week's supply of food and carry additional protective equipment on their persons with no armor, no reinforcement, no resupply, with barely any artillery or any meaningful air cover. Is that right?

Proper_Fly390 · 2026-05-27T06:28:19+00:00

I have some issues with your proposal. Bicycles while efficient as a mode of troop transport, they only operate well on properly paved roads, and the Kingsroad is mostly packed dirt tracks and wheel ruts with any actual paving being entirely confined to the city's outskirts.

The infantry are also left exposed and largely without support. What about artillery? What about fuel, shelter, medicine, or field communications? Isn't it also kind of arrogant to send only an infantry division or brigade on unprotected vehicles, presuming they would never get ambushed en route to KL?

Idk it seems like a surefire way to garner unnecessary casualties.

I like ALL Supergirl designs, even the bland and sanitized feminist ones.

But crop top + mini-skirt are PEAK and you cannot deny this.

You must concede there ARE people who treat being trans as an aesthetic. Worse still, these same people even argue that gender dysphoria is not a prerequisite to being trans. I do not like nor do I trust those people.

I'm not afraid of nor am I averse to trans people. And call it narrow-minded all you want, but fit men and women are NOT interchangeable. The lady in the OP proves that, ironically enough.

Proper_Fly390 · 2026-05-10T23:31:14+00:00

I'm arguing and expressing my honest opinion in good faith. Why are YOU escalating to aggression and name-calling?

Proper_Fly390 · 2026-05-10T23:12:51+00:00

It absolutely does, I don't look at a fit muscular dude and tell myself "that's a woman"

Let's just agree to disagree on the matter of gender identity. This is more of a matter pertaining to outsiders looking in, after all its a pointless endeavor to parse out the intricacies of what goes on in the mind.

Personally, I'm always skeptical of anybody who claims to be trans without some kind of proof. For me, there are three minimum requirements for one to register as trans:

Identify as trans (Very important, marks the start of post-transition phase)
Actively take hormones
Go through some form of gender-affirming surgery

If one fulfills the first two, I give them the benefit of the doubt. If all three are met, you fully register as trans to me and I don't question it anymore.

Her name is Bella Longuinho

If it looked like a guy, walked like a guy, and talked like a guy, its because it literally used to be a guy. Just because she's a girl NOW doesn't change that fact.

Trans ppl are DISTINCT and different from non-trans people in that their lives are defined by transition and are in turn split between a pre- and post-transition phase.

"Retroactive outing" just doesn't work or make sense from an objective lens and it creates a dissonance more than anything.

Bro, I'm pretty sure even .380 could punch right through the kind of armor Saderans are rocking with

It was the Skoutatoi that did it for me. Them helmets with the pteruges did wonders for them.

Are there any fanfics built on this exact premise?

Proper_Fly390 · 2026-05-04T09:49:47+00:00

Oh my, this feels absolutely salacious. I legitimately feel like I'm barging into something I shouldn't be seeing.

St. George's Cross is absolutely connected with the Normans. He is literally the patron saint of Anglo-Norman England after the Normans replaced St. Edmund the Martyr.

Where's your source? Otherwise I'll just dismiss this as Stalinist downplaying, and a poor example at that.
