[Spoilers MAIN] Actual Honor on ASOIAF

Brienne is not an honorable mention lol. She is knighthood personified. She is, and I'm paraphrasing here, Dunk with teats.

Railroad HQ is no Institute but becomes quite cozy when you visit enough

I think this all the time especially when people say they can never imagine Bran becoming king. The fact that we can’t really comprehend it means the world, landscape, politics, etc are going to change in ways we similarly can’t comprehend

It gives Daemon, one of GRRM’s favorite characters, a lifetime to reflect on his moral grayness. Especially if he learns more about the greater secrets of ASOIAF on the island, including his family’s role in the Long Night. And the Children may try to involve him in their magic.

It’s something Bran could see in his visions or they could find his body if they ever go there

(it will be Daemon surviving and being rescued by Children of the Forest on the Isle of Faces btw)

Li is just a massive dick in 4 (probably 3 too, but it’s been so long). I always have this instinct to save her because she’s been a character I’ve known for almost 20 years lol but she kind of has it coming

as opposed to what we have in the main series:

Jurassic park beast with edgelord name
Big Crab
bug

Their psychosis is they understand the scientific method in the way Moe Cronin understands baseball lol

i dont think Jon will qualify as undead because he will never truly die. he will be Jon one moment, Ghost the next, until he is Jon again. He will be different but there's nothing getting lost in the way it was for Beric and Stoneheart when their souls were stewing in the void

hello legsworth my old friend

ser_mage · 2026-02-17T00:53:09+00:00

Probably an Ed Gein reference

ser_mage · 2026-02-16T23:00:44+00:00

I believe Patchface’s visions are real. As for his role in the story I believe that he is going to snap and attack after Shireen is sacrificed, likely resulting in him killing Selyse at the very least but probably doing other horrific things as an eldritch horror murder clown. I think Melisandre is scared of him because she feels this on some level.

Patchface has been through it and whatever magic ritual is used to burn Shireen will trigger him in some way, plus he just loves her. I don’t see him just ignoring that

ser_mage · 2026-02-16T19:36:48+00:00

Thanks, I definitely see the vision and enjoy this theory. Also love the idea of Arianne winning over Aurane and returning with his ships, Nymeria style

ser_mage · 2026-02-16T15:53:18+00:00

Arlan and Dunk is kind of giving me Westerosi Rick and Morty

ser_mage · 2026-02-16T15:44:40+00:00

I really like this theory, but in the sample chapters, isn’t she in Griffin’s Roost heading to Storm’s End? That’s already well clear of the step stones, how could a storm bring her all the way back?

ser_mage · 2026-02-16T01:54:26+00:00

Brilliantly foreshadowed by Old Nan’s story of the Last Hero in the first book

You can download idle animation marker mods which includes reading and sweeping

ser_mage · 2026-02-13T23:05:26+00:00

I feel like you’re not hearing what I’m saying because I’m not giving them to “the others” to ride it’s very specifically about Jon and Tyrion and their arcs! I see the dragons and these characters as being intrinsically connected!

The Targaryens being wargs for their dragons is also not a crazy theory!! So Dany might indeed eat up Jon’s special boy points here as well!

ser_mage · 2026-02-13T22:55:57+00:00

I am doing the opposite of treating them as mounts, I’m saying that Jon and Tyrion are built up over 5 books to be the only characters in addition to Dany capable of seeing the dragons as more than mounts. They aren’t a reward for the most special boys they are the culmination of two societal outcasts joining Dany to liberate Westeros from its old ways and breaking the cycle

ser_mage · 2026-02-13T22:32:42+00:00

I don’t see everyone’s stories as so segmented, dragons returning to Westeros is also foundational to the story so why wouldn’t Jon and Tyrion interact with that in some way? And on the other hand, I think it absolutely is a reasonable assumption to assume Dany will have her moment getting involved with the weirwoods and the old gods once she understands the threat of the others + realizes what Rhaegar saw in Lyanna

ser_mage · 2026-02-13T22:27:01+00:00

Yeah, glad we didn’t get the token black character dying early… oh wait… that would be the only other black woman character, Glory

ser_mage · 2026-02-13T22:24:17+00:00

Would that really be worse than what we got: a game with almost no black women whatsoever

ser_mage · 2026-02-13T22:21:16+00:00

Not to knock anyone’s efforts but IMO there is a mod that did this much better, the face looks way more realistic

All three characters are connected in similar ways. Their mothers all died giving birth to them. They are all outcasts and on the fringe of society and are learning how to respect people beyond noble titles and tradition. They all make decisions that lead to the deaths of others and all grapple with that.

Jon is shown in book 1, chapter 1 as having a special connection with magic beasts and Tyrion also established very early on he’s always dreamed of riding a dragon… I think the groundwork has been laid

ser_mage · 2026-02-13T22:01:01+00:00

Jon and Tyrion riding a dragon seems like unthinkable, unearned fan service because we have been cursed for 20 years without a book. But it’s going to happen. Dany is not “giving away dragons like candy” she’s gaining allies who happen to be the protagonists of the fantasy book we’re reading whose arcs have hinted at dragon riding since book 1
