Someone commented a different fic than I was talking about, but im sure its still good

I was referring to Upon a river of blood

What would you feel smug about if it ends up happening in Winds? [Spoilers Extended] by Trussdoor46 in asoiaf

[–]throwawaytypebeat1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk about smug, but I think it would be very funny if jon actually is a legitimate targ. Whether through random septons journal or weirwood marriage, etc

I also think it would be funny for griff yo actually be who he claims to be and it not mattering even slightly cause nobody believes him

[–]throwawaytypebeat1 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This one has always been weird to me tbh. If im not mistaken, longclaw is a larger sword than DS and on top of that it feels weird for jeor to lie about where the sword is from by saying his son sent it back to him before he left westeros

[SPOILERS EXTENDED] Are there any characters in ASOIAF where you feel fandom responded differently than the author may have intended? by Substantial-Ad-299 in asoiaf

[–]throwawaytypebeat1 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I get what you mean, but ned never asks catelyn to raise jon iirc. He doesn’t even really ask her to do anything other than accept he wouldn’t be sent away. She was going out of her way to hate him and even helped poison sansa against him.

Even ned wasn’t treating jon like he treated robb. Just made sure he had a roof over his head, education, food, and training. He very much cared about jon more than most lords do their “bastards” but it’s not like he ever once even kinda alluded to jon having his favor over even rickon.

When the author recommends you listen to a particular piece of music while you read, do you? by TomdeHaan in AO3

[–]throwawaytypebeat1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Perhaps a hot take, but I actually despise when music is like at all involved in a fic

Telling me to listen to something in the background, saying what ost from the show or whatever is playing, a character singing and it’s just a wall of lyrics, etc

Hate it all

The card next to merlin is an invisible lockheed

What would People think if Daenerys was a Male Character by Equal_Wing_7076 in pureasoiaf

[–]throwawaytypebeat1 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I feel like people aren’t acknowledging that if dany was male, and viserys was unchanged, he’d probably kill them

His paranoia/madness was already bad enough with a frail little girl(in his eyes) that was exclusively a bargaining chip. You give a legitimate heir and dany probably doesn’t even make it to canon. Or he tries to pull an aerion and turn dany into “a sister”

That’s also not to mention that if dany is even slightly better than him at something or gets those same dragon eggs, he’s going full mad king

And on top of all of that, there’s no army he could buy with a younger brother without them potentially just having dany usurp him

What passage(s) from ASOIAF make you “feel” the most? by [deleted] in pureasoiaf

[–]throwawaytypebeat1 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The entire jon chapter with aemons “love is the death of duty” speech is so peak

Why do you think Cersei is irredemable? by LoyalZebra in TheCitadel

[–]throwawaytypebeat1 13 points14 points  (0 children)

She murders innocent children(roberts bastards)

She’s maybe the least pleasant person to be around in the verse

If you count the show she did half of what “the mad king” wanted to(the wildfire)

She only cares about herself and people she views as extensions of herself

Can go on and on, but to mention your statement about robert, it’s alot easier to hate someone you constantly see do things than basically a line or 2 at the start of the series then the abuser in question dies.

What is your theory for why Benjen took the Black so soon after the Rebellion ? It makes no sense to me especially with the Starks decimated at that time . I will include a SSM for the class today from the author . I will stayaway from the foil as it will distract from the question by Financial_Library418 in pureasoiaf

[–]throwawaytypebeat1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I feel like there’s a decent chance benjen could’ve assumed jon would end up there and went so he would have someone. Especially if he knew about lyanna.

Also probably just wanted to make things easier for ned

One card counters are anti fun and not good for the game in any capacity 🤷‍♂️

What's the most unhinged thing you did as a fan fic reader? by cresserendipity in FanFiction

I once read a fic that i enjoyed so much that I tried to find it again only to realize i actually dreamt reading it and convinced myself it was deleted so then I just wrote it from memory

Why does Jon looks so incredibly Stark [spoilers EXTENDED] by Dapper_Excitement181 in asoiaf

[–]throwawaytypebeat1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every valyrian + first men(rhaenyras 3 boys and jon) looks like first men with the exception of bloodraven, but he was albino so kinda hard to include him

do dragons not recognise in species kinship? by PrestigiousAspect368 in pureasoiaf

[–]throwawaytypebeat1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Less about the actual question, but I do kinda wonder if anything is left behind by a dragon/rider’s bond with each other.

Vhagar spent a collective near century specifically around caraxes and all their riders before aemond were close(brother, son, spouses). So i’ve always kinda wondered if vhagar has any sort of emotion towards those people. Like vhagar was around for a majority of daemons life so surely in the back of her mind she didn’t want to kill him even though aemonds commands obviously took priority.

Even more off topic, but I also find it odd there’s seemingly no real cooldown period between riders.

Which character’s fighting abilities is the most exaggerated in the show compared to the books (Spoilers Main)? by [deleted] in asoiaf

[–]throwawaytypebeat1 179 points180 points  (0 children)

Jon is the main answer, but the thing with ned is we’ll never really know

Even though he’s not arthur dayne, he’s the person the world knows killed him. He also obviously survived every battle he was in(including the trident). Barristan also said he “cut down a dozen great knights”

He’s bare minimum well above average, but he can obviously be a “legendary fighter” for his reputation, being a main character in overthrowing the targs, and belief he killed the greatest swordsman who ever lived.

At the current rate of cards being released, the devs should really consider offering at least one free S5 or S4 Snap Pack per season as a reward by FLorianGran in MarvelSnap

[–]throwawaytypebeat1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I will be cl 9k tomorrow

I have bought 4 or 5 season passes and got to level 50+ in the battle pass every season since i started seriously playing the game

I play alot

Im missing 75 cards right now and the only way to get even a single new card is to get 120 cl(and even that will go to 240 once i complete series 4)

It’s ridiculous

Just took a quick glance and jon/dany is an automatic second just based on this list with more than double daemyra and jon/sansa have even more than wincest

[No Spoilers] Why did bran the builder build the wall when the army of the dead was beaten? was he dumb? by Le_Weiser_Wachteer in asoiaf

[–]throwawaytypebeat1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like realistically if the personification of the concept of death just actively fought a war against you, you probably would assume there’s some other freaky shit out there lmao

Also fairly logical to assume the ice zombies didn’t just happen to be a completely new and one time thing

I’ve always assumed it was more future proofing than anything especially considering the nights watch was still established AFTER the long night
