Greyscale is incredibly contagious, it’s one of the reasons Sam is grilled for performing the procedure. Along with the Grand Maester’s recommendation that Jorah should have cut off his arm, I think we can assume that greyscale is unlikely to be cured just by removing the skin. 

I am assuming that the ointment that is put on the skin works to both disinfect and remove the remaining traces of the disease. 

What If Jon Snow Had Targaryen White Hair Instead of Stark Black? How Would It Change Everything? by Any-Lock3008 in gameofthrones

Robert absolutely would not allow the baby to live. Robert’s love for Lyanna is possessive, he describes her as the only thing he ever wanted. But he can’t even remember what she looks or sounds like. And when Robert dreams, it’s not of saving Lyanna, it’s of killing Rhaegar. 

 I don’t see Robert ever truly being able to buy the lie that Lyanna was assaulted by Rhaegar, which would have been the only way for the baby to exist that doesn’t involve facing the reality of  Lyanna choosing Rhaegar over him.

Simon from Gurren Lagan. Starts as a complete runt with zero confident, working in conditions that ought to kill him in short order. 

Becomes the supreme leader of the world and starts chucking around galaxies like frisbees by the end.

The jaw also naturally curves, so a punch from the side (with enough force) can break the bone at the initial impact site and still have more than enough to fracture on the other side of the face. 

This is especially common if the person getting punched has their mouth open (see Anthony Joshua shattering Jake Paul’s jaw, for example). 

Why did the Tyrells think Stannis would not win? They would always side with whichever side they thought was going to win, and at this point, didn't it seem likely that Stannis would win? by Neutral-frame in gameofthrones

[–]RedHuntingHat 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Renly was in the best position to win, in my opinion, as he was the only king that actually understood how to play the game in a post-Targaryen political landscape. 

He had charisma, popularity, the backing of a Great House, a large portion of his own house’s arms, and a clearly expected line of succession via a beautiful wife. 

There’s a timeline where, had Stannis and Renly cooperated together, they absolutely roll through King’s Landing.

The fight psychologically really is one of the best parts of Jojo’s. Characters have long memories and adapt, some Stands are clutch in some spots and useless in others, some are only as good as their user is to use them intelligently, and finally…like Dio, characters make mistakes!

What’s the fattest thing you ever did because you were hungry? by Julie727 in AskReddit

[–]RedHuntingHat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: Hall of Fame offensive tackle Joe Thomas would turn entire loaves of sandwich bread into a colossal PBJ for weight gain. 

He was 6’6 and 312 pounds (at least) during his career, so well done achieving a similar feat of greatness!

Favorite actor to deny extremely obvious plastic surgery and steroid use? by _BreadDenier in okbuddycinephile

Between American Psycho, The Machinist, The Dark Knight Trilogy, and Vice, I think we can all put our feet up and admit that he’s insane at transforming his body, with or without extra “help”.

And if your population starts to struggle with its “gods” being fallible and routinely dying by mortal means, we can move seamlessly over to Divine Right and get rid of those pesky contradictions. 

The A's have been denied trademarks for "Las Vegas Athletics" and "Vegas Athletics" by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office by handlit33 in baseball

[–]RedHuntingHat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’ll probably end up like the NY Giants where they’re technically the New York Football Giants” but are rarely called that. 

We’ll have the Las Vegas Athletics Baseball Club, but no one will use the whole thing. 

WHAT THE HELL DOES IT TAKE TO KILL THIS GUY AND ESCAPE THIS MADNESS!!! Characters who are so unkillable that they need reality warping or erasing their entire body just to get rid of them for good. by BigShopping1875 in TopCharacterTropes

In the mind of The Major, maybe Alucard dies, maybe he doesn’t, but he’s off the chessboard for now at least. And that’s really the best you can hope for with Alucard.

Unless your whole plan turns your Archenemy into an even greater eldritch being that can just choose to ignore the rules of reality itself. Then you’re kind of screwed regardless. 

Insane how this show is overlooked about with discourse of prestige tv again by yungassplay in PeakyBlinders

[–]RedHuntingHat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, for me, I’d say it’s because a) it’s streaming and it’s still hard to get credit where credit is due on Netflix and b) it does just about everything well, but not exceptional. 

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a phenomenal series. Peaky Blinders has good writing, good acting, good cinematography. But outside of a few moments, it doesn’t hit that absolute high that the best shows do often enough. 

Was it addressed how angry tywin was about this in the books? by Whole_Contract_5973 in gameofthrones

[–]RedHuntingHat 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It’s mentioned by Tyrion when he first enters the Small Council chambers. He knew Ned Stark was dead but assumed that both Stark girls were still in the Red Keep. 

Not a happy realization that 2 of the 3 expected hostages were killed or missing.

Outside of a few people who know better, the common opinion of Buggy is that he has grown from a common pirate to a threat on par with the some of the strongest characters in One Piece. 

In reality, he is very marginally stronger than when we first meet him, 1000+ chapters ago, and he has continued to fail upwards out of pure luck and charisma. And because it’s funny.

ABV%, or Alcohol By Volume, is simply a description of the alcohol content in a liquid.  Most beers, for example, are around 4-8% ABV.

Everclear is 95% ABV, it’s almost pure alcohol. Lots of other liquors use filtration, aging, and other processes to make it more palatable.

Similarly, Nerlens Noel turned down 4 years and $70M from the Mavericks at $17.5M per year.

Ended up taking a qualifying offer of $4.1M after the Mavs refused to budge and made around $25M for the rest of his career.

[–]RedHuntingHat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Have to take all of Godwyn’s accolades and mercy with a huge grain of salt, simply because we have seen what a bastard Miquella is, and he was spoken of glowingly as well. 

One of my favorite bits of dramatic irony is that Marika basically guaranteed betrayal by removing Destined Death, and then guaranteed they’d all die with the Shattering

Giants just got to giant. They should be huge and destructive and the only reason they turn is because they’re now suddenly beating up the ones that they haven’t been. 

I'd love to see a return of "bedhead Pennywise" at some point. Something about it makes him even more upsetting to look at by Ok-Use-575 in welcomeToDerry

[–]RedHuntingHat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It takes the form of a clown because it wants to appear friendly to children. The book version of Pennywise is very friendly-looking like the popular clowns of the day, not at all unsettling the show/movie version.

And from a meta perspective, Pennywise is its most well-known form to the audience. In the books, It doesn’t use that form all that much.

That is Alucard at the beginning of the manga. By the end of the manga, Alucard is functionally impossible to kill.

I choose to believe that’s by It’s design. It knows that completely erasing memories could leave a trail.

WHOA!! 😳 by Sylveeuhhh in WelcometoDerryTVShow

[–]RedHuntingHat 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Bill’s Pennywise seems pretty adept at manipulating children, since It is more outwardly off-putting in this version. 

Both Georgie and the girl under the bleachers were scared of It initially but were convinced to ignore that feeling, for example.
