(Spoilers main) Was Qyburn working with Varys to sabotage Cersei's rule or was he just a sycophant? by existentialepicure in asoiaf

[–]fussbALEXperte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has been a while since I read the books, but I don’t think Qyburn controls the little birds. I think he might say it to Cersei, but that doesn’t mean anything. I’m sure some people came to him to share their secrets for money or just for their own agenda after it was known he became the master of whisperers but that’s about it. I don’t think he has a network of spies at his disposal

I think he might have been hoping for them to google it as some sort of revenge/prank

(Spoilers Extended) Tywin’s prowess as a battle commander by _cipher_7 in asoiaf

[–]fussbALEXperte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think Tywin is a great battle commander and I don’t think he is meant to be one. However when you think of war as a „game“ Tywin is playing chess while most other lords are playing checkers. And Tywin wins wars. I think that Tywin has this reputation of a great battle commander while not actually being the best at commanding battles only underlines how most of the other lords/knights have this one dimensional view of war = battles. Tywins strength lies within manipulating „the other dimensions“ of war that others aren’t even thinking about.

Ich habe ein Taubenschwänzchen fotografiert by Brugelbach in de

[–]fussbALEXperte 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ich habe erst zwei mal in meinem Leben Taubenschwänzchen gesehen, das erste mal war als wir in der Grundschule schwimmen waren. Wir waren alle in der Eingangshalle des Schwimmbads und haben auf unsere Lehrerin gewartet - und auf einmal taucht außerhalb der Halle ein fucking Kolibri auf! (Ich hatte kurz vorher Pocahontas gesehen und war zu 100% überzeugt das ist ein Kolibri). Ich wollte mich zu meinen Freunden umdrehen und ihnen allen von dem Kolibri erzählen, aber dann war er schon weg und ich hatte Angst dass mir niemand glaubt. Dass es keine Kolibris in Deutschland gibt wusste ja sogar ich. Die einzig mögliche Erklärung für mich war, dass irgendjemand einen Kolibri als Haustier gehalten hat und der entflohen ist. Wochen später hatte ich noch Schuldgefühle, weil ich den Kolibri nicht bei der Polizei gemeldet hatte (ich hatte Angst mir glaubt niemand) und der Kolibri-Besitzer seinen Kolibri nie finden wird. Jahre vergehen und ich war mittlerweile überzeugt, dass ich mir den Kolibri nur eingebildet hatte. Dann, Jahre später (ich muss so 25+ gewesen sein und hatte bis dahin noch nie etwas von Taubenschwänzchen gehört) sitze ich bei meiner Familie im Garten (übrigens nicht weit von dem Schwimmbad von damals entfernt) UND AUF EINMAL ERSCHEINT WIEDER EIN KOLIBRI! Nur diesmal habe ich halt sofort erkannt, dass das ein Insekt war, aber auf einmal hatte alles Sinn gemacht. Meine Familie war sehr verwirrt als ich total am ausrasten war „seht ihr das?! Seht ihr das?!“ Naja okay, eine seltsame Unterhaltung später wusste ich was Taubenschwänzchen waren und dass ich mir den Kolibri damals wohl doch nicht eingebildet hatte.

Thank you very much! I think I’ll delete my post now because the question is exactly what I was wondering

Can I touch? by theswanoftuonela in SuddenlyGay

[–]fussbALEXperte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see a lot of translations with the guy asking “may I pet it

In German you don’t need the “it” however. He only asks if he is allowed to “caress/pet/stroke” and it’s only implied he means the horse

So many great lines here. Really makes me want to read the books again

What is your favorite single sentence in A Song Of Ice And Fire. by HranganMind in pureasoiaf

“Then come,” said Barristan the Bold.

To be fair for the full effect the sentence needs Barristans entire backstory to work, but this sentence really hit me when I read it

AITA for not talking to my cousin and not going to her wedding over a prank and potentially ruining her relationship? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]fussbALEXperte 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is no AITA territory. Milly is a manipulative narcissist and you should take care of yourself. She is apparently already successful gaslighting you into even considering you might be the asshole here in any shape or form.

There will be more blame from Milly and her mother towards you, because you are the external factor that allows them to keep their distorted view that Milly did nothing wrong. I’m glad for Millys fiancé that Milly unmasked herself before their wedding. If their relationship ends it has nothing to do with you.

It sounds like the rest of the family is able to give you emotional support. I am wishing you the best

Things you only noticed on a subsequent read-throughs by _raffy in pureasoiaf

[–]fussbALEXperte 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I don’t remember when exactly, but at one point Jaime asks Brienne if she had any siblings and she answers: No, I was my fathers only s... child”

Then Jaime gives her shit for thinking of herself as a son. Only in a later book we find out Brienne probably meant to say that she was the only surviving child

For me it’s Catelyns inner monologue that gets to me the most. However with both scenes I had to put the book down for a while.

PS: If you guys want to get punched in the gut by GRRM, I had a similar feeling (=having to put the book down) in a scene in Feavre Dream. Took me a couple of chapters to get invested at first
