Edmund Snow Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 "Not long after that Kerwin had come creeping to the captain to complain that four of the crew had dragged him belowdecks and used him as a woman. "Here is how you put an end to that," Victarion had told him, slamming a dagger down on the table between them."lol."He had seen the wench wed too, but what of it? She would not be the first woman Victarion Greyjoy had made a widow."Ok, this is perfect. LOL! Is this guy that delusional? That is is honestly going to break through the general blockade of Mereen, Grab Daenerys, and sail off with her into the sunset................just like that? Too good. Dude, this guy is such a character I just can't help but root for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn Age Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I like the part where he said he will sail the Dothraki sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's somewhat endearing in a sadistic, brutish and utterly devoid of anything approaching human empathy or intelligence sort of way.@ Dawn AgeDid he really say that about the Dothraki Sea? I don't remember that but that is hilarious. Such a moron. If's almost like if Joey from Friends was a psychopath... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn Age Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 He did indeed. Someone called him a moron for it so he killed him.I wouldn't say he is a psychopath. All he knows how to do is reave and rape. Euron on the otherhand is a total nutbar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Music Loving Chemist. Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I really do, honestly. Like him =/ Can't help it... He's just such a BAMF.I wished he had sailed for KL though. Him meeting Cersei in one way or another would have been awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Endrew Tarth Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Dothraki sea... LOL :lmao:Yeah I loved him from the start. I couldn't understand the hate for him on here when I first started posting but to each his own.it's like even though Vic is dumb as a box of rocks, GRRM writes these chapters with so much wit and subtlety, I'm laughing the whole time.We also shouldn't write him off as totally dumb, he knew right away what Euron was doing when he promoted Ralf the Limper (i think that's the one vics right hand pretty much) to Lordship, and he's smart enough to know "all of the crow's eyes gifts are poisioned"...

Is like having Benny Hill playing during the Battle at the Fist of the First Men :lmao:You know what is even more annoying? I was discussing Stannis/Renly/Robert growing up with someone the others day, i.e. how Robert was away at the Eyrie and even when he wasn't he was off whoring and hunting etc. so Stannis was probably left to do most of the work most of the time, and how Renly would have been too young to have anything be expected of him. We were discussing more Stannis/Renly's relationship than anything, and Gotye's "Somebody that I used to know" came on the TV, and I realized how it somewhat applies to them. Now every time I think about Stannis and/or Renly I have that darn song playing in the background. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ab aeterno Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 The two most likely possibilities: She dumps Victarion for Daario half way through or she blabbers on about "fire and blood" so often that Victarion tries to cut her tongue out. :PEnough Dany hate though, she's trying...

Stark@heart Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Vic is one of my fav characters. Can't wait to see him tell Dany they're getting married.Would it not be fantastic if he turns out to be Dany's mount to love? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guerillacropolis Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I don't think the bit about the Dothraki Sea was meant to imply that Victarion is unintelligent. It was a joke GRRM threw in for comedic relief, and reflected the fact that no maester ever taught him the nuances of Essos' geography. Victarion is a bit of a brute, but he's also one of the most honorable Ironborn characters. Aside from he and Asha, you have Euron who wants to be a cruel despot that may have killed his father, Aeron, a religious fanatic, and Theon, a Westerosi weakling and traitor. He pays the Iron Price, leads his men well, and is flexible enough to bring on Moqorro. Victarion even pays deference to the Drowned God and R'Hllor, because he knows he needs Moqorro's help is he's to have any chance in taking Daenerys from Mereen.I doubt Victarion will succeed in wedding Dany, but I'd love to see him defeat Euron, take the Seastone Chair, and help the Targaryens take back the Iron Throne.

I was just mulling the same thought really- other than maybe Damphair, Victarion is probably the least douchey Ironborn, certainly the least douchey Greyjoy.That last scenario would be interesting, Euron certainly seems to be the most questionable character.

DragonsHungry Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Without a doubt the best chapters in ADWD.I was gasping and laughing reading those, after endless pages of painful Dany and Tyrion chapters, where their characters took a major step back. Sure it was cartonnish, but that Dothrakyi sea stuff and freeing slaves to make them rowers was hilarious. It felt a bit like the humor in the movie Army of Darkness.Victarion's chapters were brilliant stuff. Sure he is detestable, but about 99% of people in ASOFAI are detestable to varying degrees. Vicatrion and the Ironborn are basically the Westros version of Vikings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Martin Stark Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Vic is the man. My fav character from the last 2 books. One of my favorite scenes from ADWD is when the red preist is working on Vic arm and chanting and the monkeys hear it and all of them jump on the ship into the ocean. And i cant get Vic coming out and pointing to the maester while his arm is smoking and telling him to be thrown overboard out of my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciazio Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Quite OT, but since this is a "worship thread" for Victarion "Hellboy" Greyjoy ('cause of the hand, you know, the hellish one)... You have to look at THIS man.. He IS Victarion. I want him in the cast: http://image.toutlec...3-2011-18-g.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
