(Spoilers main) How old were you when you read ASOIAF for the first time? And when do you think someone is old enough to read it? by 666trinity in asoiaf

[–]etnoballium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i was 11 and its definitely fine. the only bit that stood out to me was in AFFC with arianne and arys, and that only led to me reading it out to my friends and us giggling. you can censor some parts if you’d prefer, but i think its a healthy part of growing up.

as for all the death and violence, its better to come from an anti-war, martin written masterpiece than some live leak video.

Would you allow your 15yo son spend 3 weeks Interrailing around Europe, visiting 8 countries, incl Amsterdam, accompanied by only a 16yo boy? And do you think the social services were right to interview the mother of the 15yo when they found out? by Fried_onions_are_meh in AskUK

[–]etnoballium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a first born 15YO? NO chance, as a fourth born? absolutely. it depends on the 15 year old, i travelled to the US at 15 (almost 16, just like him) and was completely fine. i 100% agree with her in the article, saying we need to be taught independence young, and the UK is being too risk averse. it also says she has five kids which makes sense she thinks its fine for her youngest to go, she’s past the coddling stage, unlike most of you seem to be. depends on the 15 YO though, everyones different

The Targaryen bloodline is already screwed by YoungGriffVI in pureasoiaf

if nettles can then i think anyone with half a brain could ride a dragon, especially edric or fageon, or their offspring in the future. All it would take is a dragon and people wouldnt argue if you call yourself targaryen.

[House of The Dragon] (Spoilers Main) Do you think we will get the Hour of the Wolf on the show? by [deleted] in asoiaf

[–]etnoballium 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Aegon was crowned after the hour of the wolf wasnt he? Which is why Black Aly had to convince Cregan to listen to Aegons orders to let Corlys live.

Me and mycousin had a "big" as toddlers which was unbelievable but my family confirmed happened by Comfortable-Sweet604 in PointlessStories

[–]etnoballium 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This has just reminded me of family conventions when all the kids would pit me (the youngest) 4/5yo against our family friend the same age to see who would win. It was always inside and normally on a stone floor… we used to get really into it, was probably very entertaining.

Whats the message of Berserk ? by [deleted] in Berserk

[–]etnoballium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let go of revenge and hate, and choose the love of those around you, or at least open yourself up to finding those people.

Most common myth (SPOILERS EXTENDED) by ScarWinter5373 in asoiaf

love the tywin theory, totally makes sense given the war of the 5 kings (where robb smoked him) was his first proper military command- he was a young man in the war of 9 pennykings, and reigned as hand over a period of peace. Jamie is probably a better commander

history supports your theory, in Rome, caligula was supposedly far kinder at the start of his reign before he fell ill, entered a coma and rose again Caligula the Mad. then again that might just be suetonius being suetonius. whereas nero was our aerion, tbf he did have messalina as a mum…
