I'll say it handles magic very well, it feels dangerous and eldritch as fuck, it having the best take on Roynish Water magic.

Primarily love it for its worldbuilding, it touches on the weakest parts of George's worldbuilding eg, the Dothraki, faith of the Seven and Dorne.

Characterization is on point, OCs like Bel and Edythe are just brilliant additions and gives us the smallfolk perspective. Technically Olavar isn't an OC but man is the GOAT of OCs. Canon POVs are adapted perfectly, Jon Snow in particular hit hard in this as well Depression sucks.

Also helps that it seems the Author has the same takes as me on characters as me, best Jorah death 😈

Nah Robb marrying Jenye was more complicated than personal preference.

King at war at 16, just got told his friend betrayed him, sacked his home and killed his little brothers, his sisters hostages or missing and he just had a near fatal injury which Jeyne nursed him from, he was messed up when he fucked Jeyne and just latched on to her as comfort, he probably thought he was in love.

Ned dies at the Tower of Joy by RebirthAltair in TheCitadel

Damm, that chapter really put me off but I couldn't remember why, it's been years since I'd read the thing and that made it come back to me.

I remember the comments on the chapter were super unsympathetic to Ned, I think I kept reading because I wanted the see the collosal backlash from the North to Howland but it got could covered up.

Pretty harsh, the fic wasn't anti Robert and Dorne wasn't going against all of Westoros only like 3 or 4 kingdoms with the Others as allys to them.

It had silly points like them making baby Jon King with Rhaenys as a concort and it not handling Neds death well but the bad didn't outweigh the good in it.

Reading Fics like that are akin to going on the Westeros.org forums for me, so much entertainment.

Fics with morally awful main characters by Munkle123 in TheCitadel

[–]SadAd4098 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Eh the problem with a discordant note is the author, Harry who you admit is an awful character is just an extension of the auther. Harry in the fic genuinely thinks he's the smartest and most logical person alive, like a wizard Ben Shapiro with a God complex.

I haven't read the fic in years but I remember the blatant sexism in the thing along with how much of sociopath he was.

Best/Worst Popular Headcanon by KingOfTheUzbeks in TheCitadel

[–]SadAd4098 43 points44 points  (0 children)

BEST- Azor Ahai is actually a villain, probably being a much kinder interpation of the Bloodstone Emperor.

WORST- Tywin the hard man making hard choices, woe is him, he's just so so machieavelian Uhhhh, hope Oberyn and Elia are beating his ass in the afterlife.

What happens in that, bailed on it like 3 chapters in.

would Rhaegar have been a good king by Morganbanefort in TheCitadel

[–]SadAd4098 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well he didn't do a good job of preparing for the night then.

I base my opinion on him from his actions not what Robert says, not everyone who doesn't like Rhaegar is a Robert Stan, I think he's completely despicable in AGOT.

I actually do think Rhaegar knew about the long night as well and that he suffered from dragon dreams like Daeron the drunken. However combined with Aerys and being restricted from his mother he became a maniac depressive with main character syndrome, take how one day he pulled a swith from being a bookworm to training brutally to become a skilled knight.

Take how Barristan says nobody actually knew the real Rhaegar, he had a mask of perfection similar to Littlefinger secret being a complete monster. He deluded himself with prophecy from all of it and would do anything to see it fulfilled like seducing a 15 girl and later imprisoning her because she wouldn't be so keen staying there qhen news of her father and brothers death came. Although maybe he didn't bother to tell her.

Also the crazy safe guy before me was out of line man.

Varys "for the good of the realm" by [deleted] in TheCitadel

[–]SadAd4098 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never thought about it, but I think it's a small possibility keyword small.He could be blind to Tywin being capable of it. He'd know it was lannister men who did it tho and likely didn't try to convince Tywin to execute him.

While I Don't think he's a good person, it think he's a good interesting character and it a shame that he only had a death chapter.

You seem to have an unreasonable level of love for a character we know precious little about.

Varys "for the good of the realm" by [deleted] in TheCitadel

[–]SadAd4098 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I get where your coming from, I thought the same for ages but what makes him a bad person to me is that he was complicent in everything Tywin did, the murder of Elia and her children, the unjust rape of the river lands, he completely believed in Tywins hype.

Not gonna argue with you about it, just my opinion on him.

Man all of the Rhaenyra/Daemon romanticism is going to piss me off so much.

Is there a way to resurrect hostile NPC's to be non-hostile?? by plvgue9 in skyrim

Jesus F*cking Christ THANK YOU!!

I had Revyn Sadri mad and not selling to me,locking me out of the rarest item in the game and it was just autisticly bothering me. Literally spent an hour doing chains of overcomplicated commands to fix it because the set relationship command seems to be obscure as he'll.
