Why do Kingsguard serve for life?
Takiedevushkikakzvezdy replied to Canon Claude's topic in General (ASoIaF)
Arthur the Arthritic will be using Dawn, though. Which is always a plus. -
That actually worked very well in Theon’s case, because we don’t see him at all for a really long time. And when we meet him as Reek in ADWD, it’s a huge reveal.

I don’t necessarily see that as a problem. If everyone’s story ended midway through, that would be poor storytelling.

House Frey and meritocracy

Olyvar is still alive, though. -
House Frey and meritocracy
Takiedevushkikakzvezdy replied to The Commentator's topic in General (ASoIaF)
Are you suggesting that meritocracy in the Frey family is determined by AI? -
GRRM Updates Fans on Multiple Projects
Takiedevushkikakzvezdy replied to Westeros's topic in Game of Thrones News
Are we talking about F&B part II? -
Well, we know from F&B that Aegon himself was tired of fighting Dorne and only continued doing it because Visenya and others pushed him on. It's very possible that whatever was In that letter gave him the off ramp towards peace that he wanted.

Original AFFC Outline
Takiedevushkikakzvezdy replied to The Bard of Banefort's topic in General (ASoIaF)
It’s always possible that the outcome of the trials and the news of Kevan’s death simply haven’t reached Harys Swift and his entourage yet. -
Robb’s Moments of Disassociation
Takiedevushkikakzvezdy replied to Maegor_the_Cool's topic in General (ASoIaF)
Well, GRRM has said that all of Ned's children are wargs, so it's definitely possible that he was skin changing. -
Original AFFC Outline
Takiedevushkikakzvezdy replied to The Bard of Banefort's topic in General (ASoIaF)
Not necessarily. It's mentioned in the ADWD epilogue that the trials are supposed to take place a few days after it, so they can easily be featured in Winds. -

Takiedevushkikakzvezdy replied to The Bard of Banefort's topic in General (ASoIaF)
I just realised that if it was supposed to appear in Dance, then it can’t take place after the trials, since the trials don’t occur in Dance. -
Who is dumber? Dunk or Victarion?
Takiedevushkikakzvezdy replied to Floki of the Ironborn's topic in General (ASoIaF)
We should remember that Dunk is very young when we meet him and probably got smarter with age. Victarion doesn't have that excuse. -
Your Unpopular ASOIAF Opinions/Hot Takes

I'm sure glamours also played a part. -

But Stannis was already fully on board with her before she had Cressen killed. -
ASoIaF Third Eye - Pineal Gland?
Takiedevushkikakzvezdy replied to Craving Peaches's topic in General (ASoIaF)
As GRRM himself put it; "It's fantasy, man. It's magic". -
Your Unpopular ASOIAF Opinions/Hot Takes
Takiedevushkikakzvezdy replied to Maegor_the_Cool's topic in General (ASoIaF)
I'm not sure about that. I think Stannis or Davos would have mentioned a few staples of Asshai cuisine if that was the case. -

Speaking of which, I wonder how Melisandre managed to gain his trust? -

Takiedevushkikakzvezdy replied to Maegor_the_Cool's topic in General (ASoIaF)
To be fair, the list of people that Stannis likes is very short. -

Takiedevushkikakzvezdy replied to Maegor_the_Cool's topic in General (ASoIaF)
Plus, with both Jon Arryn and Robert dead, Ned was the only obstacle to full Lannister hegemony in King's Landing. -
George RR Martin's Greatest Strengths
Takiedevushkikakzvezdy replied to Lord of Raventree Hall's topic in General (ASoIaF)
Which is why I don’t really understand why he has been so focused on worldbuilding in recent years. That’s not his strong suit, especially compared to his character work. -

“Then it was going to be the concluding Arya chapter in A Dance with Dragons. But it seemed more like an opening chapter than a closing one, so shortly before ADWD was published my editor and I agreed to remove it from Dance and shift it over into Winds”. https://georgerrmartin.com/notablog/2014/03/27/i-broke-the-internet/ -

Takiedevushkikakzvezdy replied to The Bard of Banefort's topic in General (ASoIaF)
It's a chapter that GRRM has been working on for a long time, but I wouldn't say that it's unfinished. At the time when he released it as a sample it was supposed to appear, as it is, in Winds, and before that in Dance. So it was very much finished at the time it was made public. -

Doesn't the Mercy chapter take place after the trials? It's implied there that Cersei is back in power.
