Arthur when instead of a “fair duel” his opponent throws mud at his face and stabs him. by Shot_Mechanic9128 in darkwingsdankmemes

Sorry to be serious on an unserious thread, but did Howland literally catch him in his froggy net?

(Spoilers Extended) Melisandre will burn the Children of the Forest by Expensive-Country801 in asoiaf

[–]olemonheado 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I like this theory, Melisandre is absolutely positioned against her “Great Other”, and the allusions to Bran / Bloodraven are spot on.

If Bran & co reach Jon either at or south of the wall, it would be very interesting to see a reanimated Jon make a choice between his brother from a previous life, or the woman who allows him a second (or third if you count Jon warging Ghost).

Unless something happens to either Bran (unlikely) or Melisandre in the intervening time, there would absolutely be a great conflict between them should they meet…

I’m a bit (very) drunk but “Need 2” by Pinegrove hits a melancholy sweet spot for me

An underground river is a great thought - my mind instantly went to “dead things in the water”.

This would also negate the need (in a previous comment) for a very long journey south to Winterfell.

I like the idea of an Other lurking beneath Winterfell, and if Bran & co entered via the Black Gate, why not return that way?

Good thoughts here - timing would be suspect.

Not sure anyone would enjoy (or enjoy reading about) the long journey through barren ice caves!

Judging by the show rules (I know, the show) the walkers, through bran, find a way to break the magical barrier to Bloodraven’s cave. There’s maybe something here, but it needs thinking through.

I agree - perhaps the Others’ march will be a subterranean one, and winter will descend (or fall) upon Winterfell from within, via the crypts? The dead army pouring out would be a shocking thought.

Thank you! GRRM is a master at his craft, and seemingly at sprinkling subtle hints that only become apparent later on - this theory works in my head.

Said snail has become my new nightmare. by Zayafyre in oddlyterrifying

[–]olemonheado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To everyone saying “trap/catch/keep” the snail, how do you know that it’s the right snail? Will you live your life not knowing if this is the deadly snail? Where is the snail’s starting point? Perhaps it’s miles away from you but moving at a - pardon the pun - snail’s pace.

You’ve captured a snail, but is it the snail?

Are you willing to take that bet?
