I BLAME AUTOCORRECT!
I'm an artist first, a whiskey-lover second, a dirty mouth with feet, and a girl last time I checked.
The comic books are not canon, as clarified by GRRM.

The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it.
George loves his comics! https://m.imgur.com/a/WckGf#dkCMAjg
The phrase is not just, "blood is thicker than water." The full phrase is actually, "blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb." It means that relationships made by choice are stronger than the ones made at birth (no choice).
George says HE IS NOT LIKE TOLKIEN video here...
He prefers Jack Vance, and magic is increasing in the series here...
But sometimes also, the story goes in unexpected directions, and it turns out to be much more interesting than the way that I originally envisioned it going. So sometimes it does make sense to follow that muse where it goes, but you never know until you try it. And that's what I'm doing.http://www.austinchronicle.com/daily/books/2013-08-29/lonestarcon-3-the-george-r-r-martin-interview/

The World Book is purposely full of errrors. So says Martin. "George pointed out that even in the age of the books these were long-distant times with little in the way of accurate information." And Martin again.
And, according to some, GRRM is not to be trusted with his words here.

George speaks in Mexico, December 2016, about his next books, what Mel sees in the flames, etc.
Hahahahaa, The Double D's never read past the Red Wedding and did not know Sam was a POV character...
Benioff: We’ve had a lot of conversations with George, and he makes a lot of stuff up as he’s writing it. Even while we talk to him about the ending, it doesn’t mean that that ending that he has currently conceived is going to be the ending when he eventually writes it.
Weiss: He figures a lot of this stuff as he goes. He always says he’s a gardener, not an architect. http://variety.com/2015/tv/news/game-of-thrones-ending-season-5-producers-interview-1201469516/

Usurpation
noun
1. an act of usurping; wrongful or illegal encroachment, infringement, or seizure.
2. illegal seizure and occupation of a throne.
Conquer
verb (used with object)
1. to acquire by force of arms; win in war: to conquer a foreign land.
2. to overcome by force; subdue: to conquer an enemy.

Aegon I laid claim to all of Westeros when he had zero claim to any of it, and took over the land on top of a dragon. He retroactively claimed right of conquest. Usurper and conqueror. He had taken the 7 kingdoms from 7 rightful kings, and said that now he is top dog.
Robery I, after Aerys II broke the feudal contract with him and gave him every right to wage war against an unjust king (crown prince took his soon to be wife, the king murders lords and sends for Robert's head though he has done nothing wrong...), deposed the ruling monarchy and then took the throne by right of conquest, after having been chosen by the bulk of the realm (the rebel regions of the North, Vale, Iron Isles, Westerlands, Stormlands) to be king. Conqueror, not usurper, he took nothing illegally. Joffrey was an usurper because he was not of Robert's blood yet was claimed to be so.
Aegon usurped 7 kingdoms and was called king on on the Iron Throne, ruler of the realm with the unimaginative name of... the 7 kingdoms. Robert conquered said realm and did not bother to change the title. That does not make the first a conqueror and the latter an usurper. Robert at least had the support of all but 2 regions in the end. More than Aegon could ever say about the legality of his actions.

Responding to the question: "Can you kill of the main character from the prior 5 books in book 6?" GRRM said yes, you can do anything you want if you make it work. They killed off the main character in "Psycho" and it worked. http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/1314
Arya's main overall arc is probably based on the original story The Little Mermaid. But her Mercy/TWOW arc is based on Theda Bara.
Possible source for the inspiration. Here.

Remember someone wrote this on Nov. 3, 2018:
Guys. This is a cult. Repeat: this is a cult. This is not something a rational person says. The president lives in a delisional make believe world and demands his followers live there too. The constant falsehoods are part of conditioning his audience to believe only him. Cult.
And so what we're left with is racism, cloaked in disingenuous bullshit rhetoric, which pretty much sums up the entire right wing. Similarly, they hide behind concern about non-existent voter fraud to justify the suppression of minority votes. It's just racism and tribalism.
So much of the rights rhetoric these days amounts to justifying selfishness and greed, a la the famous Galbraith quote, and justifying racism. I mean, the presidents offered justifications for the Nazis upset about Confederate monuments, as well as the synagogue killer.
