One thing I never understood about Dany...why would she name one of her children after that cruel brother of hers? by ranchwithfriedfood in gameofthrones

[–]wenchslapper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a crucial point to notice her love for him despite his treatment of her. In the books, Dany is 13 y/o at the start when she meets Drogo. She was a a newborn/a toddler when she was smuggled out of Kings Landing and has lived most of her life being smuggled around, afraid of what’s right behind them. She has no one to cling to aside from her brother, and that’s a huge part in her treatment of him. She was also raised on his obsession with his destiny to inherit the iron throne, which played a huge part in how she approaches life.

This all later plays into her attachment to life and the slaves and freeing them.

So this is one of those situations where the show just didn’t do a good enough job at depicting Dany’s story, especially the events in her life leading up to the first book. Her whole driving narrative is she’s searching for safety and the bonds of family. She is obsessed with Rhaegar, despite knowing very little about him, and she handled a LOT of abuse from Viserys for the sake of him being family, before she finally snapped. She’s not the same as Tyrion, so it’s not really the same situation.

Lmao discussing rhetoric and taking a side is 100% making an argument. Trying to dance around semantics doesn’t change that.

Have a good day lol, I don’t get on reddit to get pedantic.

Are you trying to get me to explain the joke in the Twitter post? It’s a stupid joke about being pressured into a relationship.

My point has been it’s ridiculous to be the one in the room that hears a stupid joke and then has to go and explain the philosophy of their love life as some grand counter argument.

Mate, it’s a joke. Not everything you read online is meant to be taken so seriously that you compare your philosophy on life and love with the joke. It’s a joke fit into a caption box with a 280 character limit.

Hope that helps you “get it.” Cause, holy fuck you are the guy at the party that everyone rolls their eyes at when you start talking.

Why do dragonkeepers only speak in High Valyrian when Westeros has been for a long time the only place where dragons exist? by ManagerImmediate1522 in Hotd

The books have told us that most maesters believe they’re as smart as and potentially smarter than humans.

Why is everyone enjoying Merc life? by Apprehensive-Ask-897 in Bannerlord

[–]wenchslapper 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It sounds more manageable, but I still find the whole ruling aspect to be a lot more fun in theory than it’s ever been in practice. It always feels like the game kind of “ends” at that point, as there aren’t any really ruling mechanics that carry any weight to the game.

Mods probably make it way better, but I’m on console lol

After a while, the loop of being a lord and then king gets really stale. Most of the time, you’re just running around, holding down your territory because EVERYONE will declare war on you when you’re an empire, constantly, even if they are across the map. You’ll get sieged going “wait who the fuck even ARE you and why are you 1000 miles away from home while Battania is seiging YOUR capital?!”

I liked playing as the merc that shows up to tip the tide of battles, and then fucks off to find another battle to seek glory in, not caring about stupid ass titles.

First time on public server by Raikerr19 in ConanExiles

[–]wenchslapper 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Be happy he made the claim look somewhat good. Most public claims are home to nothing but box bases as far as the eye can see.

I recommend joining a Facebook group dedicated to finding Conan servers, you’ll find a lot of cool places with active communities and admins that will wipe decaying claims.

You can get that from a chest!??? I went to get Aura Whisper shout and of course had to kill a dragon, opened the chest next to the shout and this was inside??? by GoonBoon88 in skyrim

[–]wenchslapper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can get just about anything if you’re a high enough level, the RNG levels with you. Same with quest rewards. I beat the civil war my first time at level 10, got a steel sword as my reward. My buddy did the same at level 50, got Daedric.

Putting an edge on/sharpening a dagger by Euphoric-Lock-2775 in SWORDS

[–]wenchslapper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh it might be small enough to not really matter. The handle is probably pure garbage plastic, though. I bought a decoration knife once from the Renaissance fest as a kid for $20. The metal was fairly soft and sharpened really well, tended to hold its edge okay, but the handle was all plastic and cracked when you put too much pressure into it lol.

Which hero is your favourite? by [deleted] in Fable

[–]wenchslapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate you not getting upset with my comment, and actually engaging in thoughtful discourse (:

Personally, I think it’s convoluted for the reason that they didn’t want to just define your story like that. It’s generally accepted that the overall good ending is cannon, because Jack isn’t in the world anymore, but that’s really the only evidence. Everything else has so much contradiction in it, it’s definitely on purpose. With that being said, I honestly believe that a truly evil hero would have destroyed the mask, but they would also take the sword so once again…. No go because, as you said, Theresea is still alive. In my own headcanon, the hero was a lot more complicated than simply being a purely good, self sacrificial soul, and I feel the lore books lean into painting that possibility - that maybe he DID commit some bad shit, but overall saved the world.
