Marillon Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 While in Harenhall, Arya regularly speaks to Elmar Frey, who talks to her about the Princess his grandfather arranged him to marry, that princess being Arya even though none of them realizes it. After Robb marries Jayne, the engagement is called off, and Arya sees Elmar crying, they have a dispute which ends with Arya saying "I hope your princess dies." Metaphorically, Elmar's princess (Arya) is already dead in the sense that her arc leads ever away from highborn status.Stylistically it extends the complex irony of her death list/death wishes. Thanks. For whatever reason I don't remember it :leaving: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrion Hand of the King Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Jon not being allowed to fight Joffrey because "bastards can't hit a prince" :lol: Damn I never noticed that, very ironic indeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yampants Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 The biggest self-proclaimed craven killed arguably the most terrifying entity in the known universe. Dondarrion was initially ordered by the HotK to kill the Mountain (or capture I cant remember) for looting and ravaging the riverlands but ends up being hunted (and killed) by the Mountain (on orders of the HotK) for looting and ravaging the riverlands.

Winterfell Resident Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Jaimie Lannister having his SWORD WIELDING hand chopped off and because it was the hand that made him a famous KingsGuard. It was ironic because by pushing Bran out of the window which caused Bran to be a cripple, it crushed Bran because he cannot be the Great KingsGuard that he always dreamt about becoming.

Reek Da Villain Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 Maybe this is more of a coincidence than irony, but none the less... Tywin Lannister forcing his late father's mistress to walk the streets of Lannisport only to have a similar fate happen to his daughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castellan Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Well let's review the definition... 2. a situation that is strange or funny because things happen in a way that seems to be the opposite of what you expected Thats not cosmic irony. Or non-cosmic irony. If you read it somewhere it was a shit somewhere. There are one or two points in this thread that have a faint claim to be cosmic irony and that's all.

Boxman Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Cersei plots to have Jaime become a Kingsguard so that they will always be close when she marries Rhaegar; as this marriage doesn't happen, but Jaime is still moved to Kings Landing with Aerys, the result is Jaime and Cersei being separated Jaime is the only Kingsguard that Aerys keeps by him personally by the end of the war, because he thinks it will keep Tywin in check (and thus keep Aerys alive); Jaime kills Aerys while the other six Kingsguard despise him for it Robb's honor paradox once he slept with Jeyne; if he marries her, he dishonors himself by breaking his vow to Walder Frey, but if it maintains his vow to Walder Frey, he feels dishonorable to Jeyne Brienne is a woman who lives her entire life trying to be an honorable manly man, only to ultimately end up as a lovesick little girl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melisandros Megas Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Tywin dying "on the throne", especially considering Pycelle's funeral speech - blah blah wore no crown blah blah all a king should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jet199 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Jon in ADWD“Pyp should learn to hold his tongue. I have heard the same from others. King’s blood, to wake a dragon. Where Melisandre thinks to find a sleeping dragon, no one is quite sure. It’s nonsense. Mance’s blood is no more royal than mine own. He has never worn a crown nor sat a throne. He’s a brigand, nothing more. There’s no power in brigand’s blood.”The raven looked up from the floor. “Blood,” it screamed. Even Mormont's raven can't stand the irony.

Light a wight tonight Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Gared wasn't decapitated for lying, he was decapitated for desertion. Ned's situation is almost the exact opposite; he stayed in King's Landing until the bitter end attempting to do his duty to the King. The irony is that one was executed for deserting and the other for remaining to do his duty. Makes no difference, you'll get it in the neck either way.

Light a wight tonight Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Jaime is the only Kingsguard that Aerys keeps by him personally by the end of the war, because he thinks it will keep Tywin in check (and thus keep Aerys alive); Jaime kills Aerys while the other six Kingsguard despise him for it I'm not sure that the other KG despise Jaime. They may have to give that impression publicly but still realize that Aerys was a political cancer and that Westeros was well rid of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sansa_Stark Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I'm not sure that the other KG despise Jaime. They may have to give that impression publicly but still realize that Aerys was a political cancer and that Westeros was well rid of him. There was that line in the TOJ scene wher Hightower states Jaime would burn in 7 hells or something if they were there. I don't think he would say that if its just to keep a public impersion.

Light a wight tonight Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 the KG stood around with their thumb up their collective butt while Aerys committed atrocities. What's a little copout line condemning the guy who took action against a mad tyrant to justify inaction on one's own part? IMO Jaime had it right when he says that he is reviled for the best thing he ever did. Wasn't the TOJ scene a dream Ned had while in the Black Cells? I forget. Dreams aren't notably reliable, though.

sapphire_lion Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Brienne is a woman who lives her entire life trying to be an honorable manly man, only to ultimately end up as a lovesick little girl Not fair or accurate. Brienne has lived her entire life trying to be an honorable knight. She’s achieved that in a very meaningful way. She saved a woman and many small children from being raped and murdered. She slew one of the greatest villains of her time (Rorge) and some rats (Pyg, Timeon, and Shagwell). And all with the added bonus that she has not been spilling innocent blood or aiding and abetting tyrants. That puts her ahead of pretty much every other knight. She never wanted to be a “manly man”. On a romantic front, she moved on after Renly died. She has spent zero time contemplating her feelings for Jaime. She chose Pod over Jaime. What exactly makes her a love sick little girl? The mere fact that she has romantic feelings for a man? Feelings she has never acknowledged or acted on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Spark of House Spark Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 The Ned thing is close enough to irony to fit into an Alanis Morrisette Song, but thats about it.Rain on your wedding day indeed! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reek Da Villain Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 If Lord Janos can be believed, he is trying to make common cause with the wildlings, warned Grand Maester Pycelle. Savages in skins, declared Lord Merryweather. Lord Stannis must be desperate indeed, to seek such allies. Hmmm, who else could be that desperate? The IT, that's who. They also made an alliance with savages in skins. The Boltons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
