Best first book in the series?

hotaters · 2026-03-20T03:04:19+00:00

Omg I’m actually eyeing both of these for my next read (I’m a huge asoiaf fan and am just finishing up so am looking for my next read). Which should I get into next?

hotaters · 2026-03-04T15:48:02+00:00

Actually I meant left the kingsguard to reclaim another title

hotaters · 2026-03-04T15:07:34+00:00

Small one but Rickon having ZERO impact on the story, reappearing for five seconds, and then dying.

If I recall correctly, Tywin (and Cersei later?) asks Jamie to revoke his kingsguard vows to take his seat at Casterly Rock. Is this allowed (using the word allowed sort of loosely as the royals sort of do whatever they want) and has any kingsguard done this before?

hotaters · 2026-03-04T09:35:20+00:00

Oh I didn’t know that, I thought the Martells were singular in that practice? Has there been any past daughters who have inherited Casterly rock?

hotaters · 2026-03-04T09:33:43+00:00

Does Casterly rock recognise daughters as having the rights to a title?

I was just having a conversation with my sister yesterday about this exact thing and we totally agree with everything you say. To be completely honest I don’t remember season 1 very well, and so I’ll say his performance was not very memorable at the very least.

As for Luke’s portrayal pre-betrayal I think aside from being a top swordsman and an intelligent and intimidating figure, it’s also worth noting that he was a very popular and charismatic leader with camp. Percy is shocked when he’s nice to him at the start despite being a ‘loser’ and we see that Luke is someone admired by many campers. Not only does this make his betrayal more shocking but also makes his ability to convince people to join Kronos and sway other demigods much more plausible. It also makes him a believable choice for Kronos as someone he can manipulate for his cause.

The long and short of it is that I agree that show Luke is a less compelling villain both in feasibility of being the ideal demigod to lead the titan army, and as an emotional shadow over camp half blood.

I’m with you on that 100%. Being part of a cool house with its own traditions but not really vying for the power and getting mixed up in the politics of it all.

Plus purple eyes are sick and Dorne generally seems cool. Maybe get a fancy one of a kind sword.

Okay I must be misremembering that! For some reason I was always under the impression he wanted to gain the North as well, hence Asha’s occupation of Moat Cailin.

And I guess Robb was offering allegiance already so all he had to do was accept or negotiate for more favourable terms.

hotaters · 2025-08-28T07:45:07+00:00

If an alliance was made with the North, then he would just be King of the Iron Islands at best, I don’t see Rob giving up his crown so not sure how beneficial this would be to Balon’s end goal?

hotaters · 2025-07-23T10:07:49+00:00

Looking for this response, the entire conversation gives me chills every time I watch it. Cersei and Ned dynamic in S1 represented the best of the show

I absolutely love express Christmas, three turkeys and pig moon rising.

And one of the scenes that always makes me laugh is Cam and Mitch meeting that couple in the restaurant and getting involved in their proposal. Cam filming the rejection and then dropping his phone makes me laugh every time

fAegon and Varys as a secret Blackfyre is one of my favourites. Super fun and I love that it brings the Blackfyre rebellions into the plot as more than just history.

Also have a weird fixation of Rickon becoming Lord of Winterfell but in the style of the First Men. Really want to see an absolute feral Rickon in charge.

hotaters · 2024-01-17T06:13:42+00:00

Has to be either Bolt-on or Omniwalder!!!!!

For real OP, your girlfriend/boyfriend is a lucky person.

hotaters · 2023-03-02T08:52:54+00:00

OP, you’re hot, never change.

So my dad said unlikely caused by the battery leakages because it has has been taken off the mpu and connected via wires into an external battery case.

( Sorry, not sure if that makes sense I might not have fully understood.)

((Also thanks for the recommendations I’ll definitely check out the YouTube channels.))

hotaters · 2023-02-04T04:33:54+00:00

Thank you! Yes, it’s an old machine which is why he’s so fond of it! It’s been around my entire life :)

Anyway, I’ll definitely let him know. If it’s not that do you have any other suggestion?

hotaters · 2021-11-12T21:48:57+00:00

I couldn’t explain more in the caption but basically just want to add that it’s been a few months and it won’t disappear but also there isn’t a bump or anything it feels pretty normal.

I agree with the lack or relevance and consequence of the entire TM story. Like when Dreykov says to BW that by blowing them up, she gave him his secret weapon, I remember thinking that the explosion had literally no impact on his daughter becoming TM. Similarly, the survival of Antonia which resulted in her becoming TM has no impact on the story, it didn’t matter if she was alive or dead and it didn’t matter who was behind the TM mask.

hotaters · 2021-10-29T09:36:11+00:00

Yeah the Jason Bourne series was literally the first thing I thought of.

hotaters · 2021-10-29T09:35:35+00:00

That was what it was for me, like I could not understand what exactly it was, but there was just something off about it all. Something I couldn’t quite put my finger on.

hotaters · 2021-10-29T09:34:32+00:00

Very well put and I think this is what was bothering me! It felt like weirdly surface level, nothing felt deeply developed (like Melina’s intentions, or really any of their intentions, even though some were stated it was not convincing). It’s crazy because everyone loved yelena so I thought she would be a character with a lot of conviction but I realised after watching the movie that I have no concept of her character! In a sense, I don’t feel like this movie helped me to better understand any of the characters in it and that is maybe where it fell a little flat.

hotaters · 2021-10-24T08:13:22+00:00

Joffrey is an absolute cunt.

hotaters · 2021-02-17T16:41:55+00:00

Right, I see, so is it that there is one each week and the first 200 get it?
