hiemal Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 The Storm God is the Merling King. Patchface is his prophet and Euron, his champion. Lord Borrel of the old blood and the webbed fingers, makes his living like a landbound merling would- luring sailors to their doom and plundering their ships. Patchface is the anti-Ariel- the not-so-little merman. Compare these two Ariel songs: "... Full fathom five thy father lies; Of his bones are coral made; Those are pearls that were his eyes: Nothing of him that doth fade, But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange. Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell: Ding-dong. Hark! now I hear them—Ding-dong, bell." Ariel's Song,The Tempest, William Shakespeare. That could as easily be Patchface telling Stannis about Stefan. And, course, from Disney "... Down here all the fish is happy As off through the waves they roll The fish on the land ain't happy They sad 'cause they in their bowl But fish in the bowl is lucky They in for a worser fate One day when the boss get hungry Guess who's gon' be on the plate Under the sea Under the sea Nobody beat us Fry us and eat us In fricassee..." The Little Mermaid, Disney, Samuel Wright I mean come on- just beat us over the head with it, GRRM! As for Euron, he calims to be the first storm and the last and he wants to plunder the entire world. A fit champion. That's my latest bit of tinfoil. Enjoy.

The Drowned God is on the wrong side of Westeros. And another ball of tinfoil altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't deny there is something here, partly because GRRM is a Disney movie fan and he gave me some odd confirmations about my Bran/Pinicchio theory, and partly because Patchface is creepy and needs a purpose.

Than we may be even closer to agreement than you think- I believe the merlings, selkies and walrus-men are all related to the CotF by way of weirwood grove(s) that were drowned during their wars with the Deep Ones and that the Drowned God is such a grove that has further been corrupted by the Oily Black Stone that is the Deep Ones calling card and incidentally making the weirwoods underwater Shade-of-the Evening .

hiemal Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 Essentially I believe that the bird fish imagery in Patchface's song refers to seeing either merlings themselves or fish used in lieu of ravens swimming among the trunks of the sunken weirwoods where I believe his transformation was enacted. Whether that was a transformation from a volantene jester or from a merling using said jester as a template I am unsure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how I feel about the rest but I definitely think the oily black stone is the Deep Ones. 23 hours ago, hiemal said: Essentially I believe that the bird fish imagery in Patchface's song refers to seeing either merlings themselves or fish used in lieu of ravens swimming among the trunks of the sunken weirwoods where I believe his transformation was enacted.
