Chebyshov Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 Well this sounds like a subtle hint :P <snip> It was a "subtle" hint! Amazing work on that :bowdown: . I'm glad to see that it lands around 2 months (maybe 2 months and a week at most) rather than 3. The thought of Doran letting Arianne starve for 2 full months didn't really sit right with me. Oh, and we also have a day of travel from wherever the pole-boat was to Spear Tower, don't we? Which gives Balon a day "jump" on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brightstar_ Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Hmm great job on the analysis, and it made me really doubt about Arianne possibly wanting to marry Aegon for selfish reasons, but I'm still not 100% convinced. It all depends on how you interpret her poor vision of Quentyn, and reminiscings of Dany and the parallels between the two. Guess we'll see how it all turns out in the next book! I'll be pleasantly surprised if Arianne turns out to act the way you predict and want her to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, as I said, nothing's a foregone conclusion in her plot at all, which is what makes TWOW so exciting/terrifying! Seriously. I might need ambien to survive it :uhoh: .

JonCon's Red Beard Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Is this a bad time to squee over JonCon in a Santa hat? It's always a good time to squee over JonCon and his amazing closet. That sound wrong, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhaenys_Targaryen Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 The JonCon Santa is amazing!!!! :D I smiled when I first spotted him :) (but he's not yet amongst "all the Jons", is he?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is like three Jons missing there. I've been very busy theses days (also the reason why recent Jons don't move) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INCBlackbird Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Princess Arianne Nymeros Martell: A RetrospectiveA Character Summary based on the Trial by Folly Reread Project <snip>sooo... it took me pretty much a full day to read this (though admittedly in between writing on my own Theon reread) but it was totally worth it! very interesting, I suddenly have a much better understanding of a character I hadn't given much thought. I will probably reread her chapters (and the ones she appeared in) in the following days and maybe come back to join the discussion, because right now I have nothing to add, but I might after rereading. Thanks for the amazing analysis and cudos to everyone who participated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
