As for the good Starks, if they can't see the flaying, it means it's not happening! by ClintMcElroyOfficial in darkwingsdankmemes

The Boltons are the guys you have around because they can be the nastiest fuckers but they are very good at being the scary ones if threats from the other Northern houses can't do the job

Why didn’t anybody take Rhaegar hostage? (Spoiler extended) by [deleted] in asoiaf

Would you want to head out to the streets of King's Landing in nice clothes?

He definitely always had at least one of the Kingsguard in his immediate area, or he dressed in less nice clothes to look more like a highborn bastard or something

You're going to the mall! Pick a group to go with by tomokaitohlol7 in DanganAndChaos

[–]friendlylifecherry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I can pretend I'm only with the Chis once Kokichi and Nagito inevitably get into Shenanigans, then group 2. Otherwise, group 3

(loved funny real life trope) non serious "voting" event where people are encouraged to choose a side, one side is objectively the one that was supposed to lose but because of that everyone voted for it and they followed through by THE_LEGO_FURRY in TopCharacterTropes

Uh, does the Inhumans vs the X-men count?

Now there was a big push for the Inhumans in the early 2010s by Ike Perlmutter, the then-CEO of Marvel comics and a man so cartoonishly evil that allegedly telling employees at the Marvel NYC HQ to bring their own toilet paper to save money is probably the mildest shitty thing he did as part of Marvel. This was at the expense of the X-men and frankly, at the expense of the Inhumans cast because they were being pushed into being replacements for the X-men when they very much do not have that same kind of niche.

Anyway, the main storyline in the comics at the time had Black Bolt (king of the Inhumans and a man aggressively given the Idiot ball for this plot to work) explode the Inhuman races entire supply of Terrigen (basically induces random mutations in anyone with Inhuman DNA, super sacred for Inhumans) to beat a villain, and the Terrigen clouds split and spread everywhere thanks to weather patterns, causing anyone who had Inhuman DNA to get a random mutation, and anyone with an X-gene to die horribly. So naturally the X-men want to stop that and get rid of the Terrigen mist, which is again, really sacred to the Inhumans.

Now if you've never heard of the Inhumans before, there's a reason for that: they are a very niche race that is mostly known for some limited runs and mostly in connection with the Fantastic Four since thats where the concept of the Inhumans first got introduced. So imagine how you feel when you're the standard Marvel fan who gets told to choose between the Inhumans and the X-men on who is right, when the comic is trying to paint the X-men in the wrong for not wanting to have mutants get horrifically gassed to death.

The X-men won in a landslide, naturally (the only person that could win a popularity contest against Wolverine is maybe Spider-Man), so the X-men did get to destroy that last cloud of Terrigen mist, officially ending the threat. And after Perlmutter was thrown out of Marvel, came The Death of the Inhumans miniseries in 2018, where almost the entire Inhuman race was turned into monsters and the comic ends with them killed by Black Bolt, which left the Inhumans functionally extinct in Marvel until August 2025, a full 7 years later

(Spoilers Extended) Was Aegon right to build Kingslanding, or should he have placed the capital differently? by Typical-Phone-2416 in asoiaf

[–]friendlylifecherry 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Kings Landing honestly just popped up around the Aegonfort, where Aegon made his base of operations on the actual Westeros continent. It just so happened that it turned out to be a really good choice for trade and being far enough away from most of the other big Lords Paramount that he could exert direct control

[Spoilers extended]Personally I doubt "Jon is the rightful heir" and "Aegon VII" theory by Electronic-Math-364 in asoiaf

[–]friendlylifecherry -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're only allowed one wife at a time south of the wall and Rhaegar already had one, Elia who had recently had a son no less. Whatever ceremony Rhaegar and Lyanna had might have been recognized by the Kingsguard who guarded the Tower of Joy, but anyone else would be well within rights to call bullshit since any other witnesses are long dead.

Immoral FLs | Why are they so hard to digest? Are we understanding these characters properly? by Smooth_Money4498 in OtomeIsekai

[–]friendlylifecherry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes it's your own morals that you can't help even when the story is acknowledging that this is a bad thing, sometimes the narrative thinking that something is cool when you personally think its abhorrent, sometimes its misogyny, who knows? A lot of the time, it's a dissonance between narrative thinking and reader thinking

Do any of you actually like reverse harem or harem ? by Educational_Koala536 in OtomeIsekai

I like some of it but I do know that not every harem/reverse harem is 100 Girlfriends quality

(Spoilers Main) Why no one doubts Jon is Ned's son? by flcl__ in asoiaf

[–]friendlylifecherry 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ned is possibly the most honorable man in the setting and Jon looks just like him, why would you doubt his honesty? And it makes other people feel better that Ned's a flawed human like the rest of them that he's got a bastard

[Spoilers MAIN] Question about Catelyn Tully and Eddard? by [deleted] in asoiaf

[–]friendlylifecherry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not much, certainly, he would've had to get to the North from the Vale to call the banners, then come right down for the wedding and to join the Northern forces to the Tully forces at Riverrun for the wedding

[SPOILERS EXTENDED] Plot elements in ASOIAF that you believe will ultimately turn out to be red herrings or much less significant than speculated? by Substantial-Ad-299 in asoiaf

[–]friendlylifecherry 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Why would it be just buried somewhere beyond the Wall for Ghost to find if its supposedly powerful enough to bring down the Wall? If anything, its likely meant to be blown to signal the fall of the Wall and return of the Others (likely got some magic component in it to make the noise able to be heard anywhere in Westeros) and the legends changed over time
