I don't wish to side rail this thread, but has there ever been a known Kings Guard who was married and forsook his wife (and children) to take the Kings Guard oath? And so I think my real question is, what oaths do we know of that were sworn to the Seven that were expunged or set aside by the Faith? And this is heading into deep water here (I know), but what oaths taken/given to the Seven would the Faith be willing to set aside in order for a particular person to swear the oath of the Kings Guard? I hope that makes sense, what I'm asking. If not, please let me know.

What do you think are your favorite characters's biggest flaws?
Travis replied to Alyn Oakenfist's topic in General (ASoIaF)
I'm only on page 2 of the thread, but I wanted to comment on a previous comment regarding Davos and Barristan Selmy. I would put both characters in the same boat a far as their greatest weakness - their loyalty. I don't understand their blind loyalty. But I will say this: it is because of Davos' loyalty (and his desire for truth and justice) that makes him who he is. And that is why he is willing to face the dungeon when he speaks to Stannis. For whatever reason he loves Stannis and is loyal to him (perhaps because Stannis took his fingertips instead of hanging him as a law-breaking commoner [AND he knighted him]). With Selmy, you have essentially the same character, but he is loyal to a fault. And he is now in fact regretting some of that "loyalty". Sorry to have butted in without reading the whole thread yet, but those were my most immediate thoughts on those 2 characters. -
What will happen after the Battle of Ice?
Travis replied to Alyn Oakenfist's topic in General (ASoIaF)
Stan is will be beheaded by Brienne at the order of Lady Stoneheart. She (LSH) will remind Brienne what Stannis did to Renley (not that she will need reminded). -
The title is self-explanatory. If GRRM released a new and updated version of ASOIAF (including all the chapters that were cut), would you read it? Would you buy it? I'm basically talking about the version that would include all the sample chapters that we have in existence (edited/revised or otherwise). Would you buy it and take the time to read it?

TWOW in 2021 seems ever more likely

Please say this again. A few times. -

Weirdest crackpot about Jon's parentage
Travis replied to Alyn Oakenfist's topic in General (ASoIaF)
That's why (or part of the reason) why I started the thread "Is is possible...?" Lol -

Just looking for a laugh. That did it.

All sorts of things may or may not have happened if certain details of the story may have or may not have been different? And if that that happened, things may have or may not have changed? And how would certain characters feel if that happened, and things did or didn't change?

I agree that Cersei lives and dies in Kings Landing. She will not give up her hold on power until her life is taken from her. Her kids were just a conduit. George promised we would see Casterly Rock, but it will not come from Cersei. I believe that will be either from Tyrion's or Arya's POVs (on their way back to Westeros). Maybe Jaime's, but I don't see it.

I wanted to say, "Shut the fuck up" here, but you are right. A lot of people's perception of Catlyn has been tainted by the Show. Although... Plenty of threads about this, too.

Take my downvote. Too many threads for that already. And some of it should stay in the dark recesses of the mind. Plenty of threads to choose from, if you look. -

Now that you mentioned them, I do remember both of those instances. Lol

I can't recall any character shaving the carrot or flicking the old bean.
