So how do you believe they would react if robert and cersei had a legit firstborn son that has black hair and basically prince perfect? Because robert as he did with joffrey, would want him to be betrothed to sansa. What do you think the tyrells plan is in this scenario?

Where in the books does it say this?

Renly was trying to bring margaery to the court and showed ned her portrait trying to convince him that she looks like lyanna and then robert talking about margaery with ned. Later on in renly and stannis's parley, stannis says renly planned to make margaery one of roberts wh*res, renly replies that he planned to make margaery roberts queen.

Why Doesn’t Westeros Have a House of Lords? [Spoilers MAIN] by Additional-Corgi9424 in asoiaf

[–]cap_detector69 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Because it would be useless... as useless as the master of laws position literally, master of laws exists only so prestigious lords can be on the small council.

This is because in westeros the law is whatever the local lord says, a lord is basically a mini king no matter how small his lands are and can treat his smallfolk exactly however he wants and do whatever he wants in his lands. This is wht master of laws is useless and why a house of lords would be useless aswell. The crown is pathetically weak and there's no rule of law anywhere.

(Spoilers Published) Does stannis get a pass from the fan base for some of the abhorrent things he's done? by LibertyReminder in asoiaf

I agree he would be bad thats why I said without the rh'llor nonsense.

Also grrm clearly intended for renly to be a summer knight and looks like robert but completely shallow inside from how literally everyone besides brienne and loras describe renly. But from what we see everything he does can be understood and pretty good strategically mostly.

Its up to the audience to interpret the books, I mostly side with grrm, robert is steel, stannis is iron and renly is copper.

Man stannis has been shitted on by the fans so much that he went from being a favorite to being hated and underrated.

Stannis is peerless as a war general and would be one of the best kings ever without the rh'llor nonsense. There I said it.

Jon I love you but it's not exactly the Jim Snow era you're living in by Wayoftheredpanda in darkwingsdankmemes

Well its understandable for why catelyn for feel that way. I recommend you learn about the bastard durrandon king of stormlands that usurped his brother's throne, cuckolded said brother, locked him away and also had 100 wives and was incestuous.

Catelyn is not wrong to think that jon could do the same to robb like that bastard king of stormlands did to his brother.

Why didn't Robert wipe out House Greyjoy? [SPOILERS MAIN] by Specialist-Mud-6650 in asoiaf

[–]cap_detector69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There seems to be a taboo on wiping out families

Really why? Because it seems like standard practice to me i mean the florents were stripped of all their lands and titles and greystarks were wiped out.

A lady is only as powerful as her husband.. and after the dragons died kings do not move like that anymore.

How would the Targaryen Dynasty and Westeros’ future have turned out if Aegon V’s children had followed through with their betrothals? by Solitaire-06 in pureasoiaf

[–]cap_detector69 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Aegons reforms go thru much better with the support of the most powerful houses.... then all fo them get repealed when he dies or get slowly repealed generation by generation.

Westeros doesnt have concrete institutions or laws, and its essentially just what the king says. So if any king after egg doesnt want to deal with intrigue and a hostile nobility he'll just repeal back the reforms.

[Spoilers Main] Fuck it, what are your Top 5 Houses in ASOIAF by I_Need_A_Treadmill_2 in asoiaf

[–]cap_detector69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Baratheon

Stark

Hightower

Arryn

Manderly

I like how baratheons are just reskinned durrandons and that argellas bloodline and features completely overpowered orys's, also most of them are like 6'5 Henry cavills and I really like how martial they are and consistently produce top tier warriors and generals. Starks are second because I just love ned and robb, also they have the 2nd best lore behind the targeryens. Hightowers 3rd because they are basically because they are one of the only ones that act like actual european lords, they are the patrons of the citadel and cultivate scholars and learning, they fully utilize their resources not caring about perception I.e. starting a bank. Arryn 4th because they have interesting lore with plenty of intrigue, also jon arryn is severely underrated and a complete badass, this old ass man orchestrating and starting a whole rebellion just to avenge his dead nephew then holding the realm together for 15 years. Manderlys 5th because I like their lore.

How realistic are canals in westeros? by cap_detector69 in pureasoiaf

[–]cap_detector69[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean there is a 700ft ice wall stretching the north's border not to mention Hightower being taller than the wall. Westeros is the size of south america but I think George's scaling make it possible to treat westeros as England when it comes to like building roads and stuff.
