abandonship Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I keep forgetting The Hound is from House Clegane. I have to constantly remind myself that he isn't just some random guy who was Joffreys bodyguard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad_Pussy Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 This: I always have to remind myself that Barristan doesn't have a beard in ADWD.And I can never remember about JonCon's red beard because apparently I have aids for a brain.______________________________________________________________________________________ This: Tyrion's mismatched eyesI also forget about his nose all the time___________________________________ This: Dany going bald And the boob showing dresses in Qarth as well__________________________________________ This: Always forget that Edric Storm has Baratheon looks. (I picture him Macauley Culkin-ish for absolutely no good reason)__________________________________________________________ This: Also, I only feel solid on about six Targaryens. Similar names are my downfall.Aegon and Aemon especially, even though I've been struggling way less with this one._____________________________________________________________________________ This: I gave up on the Mereenese names.Hzzpzzlyzzzzcyzzz = every single name in ghiscari in my head_______________________________________________________ And just ages in general, especially Oberyn and Ned.

Criston of House Shapper Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Hzzpzzlyzzzzcyzzz = every single name in ghiscari in my head This, and the other Essos-names aren't that much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audelise Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I thought Dornish Marches were swampy (because words 'marches' and 'marshes' look similar). This. And I always picture the Dead Marshes from LOTR :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Charles of Rosehaven Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Actually when I was reading AGOT - without looking at a map - I thought that the Vale was west of the Riverlands as well.It isn't? 😱 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Holy Goat Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I think we are told he has dark hair at some point. I read traslated books, might be wrong. We know that when Bran compares Robb and Jon in his first chapter he refers to Robb as "fair" and Jon as "dark". SInce both likely have the same or similar skintone, I assume Bran was talking about their hair and eyes: bright blue and bright auburn compared to dark grey and dark brown. I don't really know if we get a specific description of Jon's hair as dark brown but that's what I've always assumed.

BaelorTheBold Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I always forget about the random people at court in Kings Landing. Gyles Rosby and Jalabhar Xho in particular. Like I remember Jalabhar Xho vaguely through my first read and I only remember Gyles Rosby because he was appointed master of coin. Then on my second read I saw their names just about in every book and I was like how on earth did I not see them before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melisandre's White Pubes Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I keep forgetting that Ned Stark's mother left them due to "wolf blood", I keep starting to build theories around the idea she died and then I remember we have no idea what happened to Lyarra Stark.

LordManderlyAsDragonRider Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 The Kettleblacks. Can't seem to differentiate between the three of them.This! I know there are three brothers, but I have no idea who is who! I'm still confused about if Cersei slept with just one of them, or two?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerevanin Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 It isn't? 😱 no, the Vale is east (or rather north-east) of the Riverlands, north of King's Landing. :) I always forget about the random people at court in Kings Landing. Gyles Rosby and Jalabhar Xho in particular. Like I remember Jalabhar Xho vaguely through my first read and I only remember Gyles Rosby because he was appointed master of coin. Then on my second read I saw their names just about in every book and I was like how on earth did I not see them before? I have very hard time remembering some of the very minor characters. Not just in King's Landing. Everytime someone like that is on scene, I'm like "Who's that? And why do they act as if he appeared in the story before?". I'm still ashamed as hell that when I first read the books, I totally forgot about Barristan and when Daenerys learned his true identity and everyone was like "omg, that's the legendary Barristan Selmy!", my only thought was "who?". As the conversation went on I remembered hazily that there was a person forced to quit the Kingsguard. Sad, I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordManderlyAsDragonRider Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 So many east/west confusions here, and I'm glad to see them! I thought it was just me, and only because I make the same mistake in real life as well. (I once drove from Orlando to Tampa instead of Dayton to watch the sun rise over the water. Since then, to remind myself which way is which, I sing the Fozzie Bear line, "Hey I've never seen the sun come up in the west" out loud, and that straightens me out.) I wonder if there is something inherent in the story or world of ASoIaF that makes it confusing even to normal people?I want to say its something in the story...only because I'm usually really good with cardinal directions as I have worked and live in boats for years and do a fair amount of navigation, so it is slightly embarrassing to mix it up!So let's blame something about the Asoiaf world map being funny rather than blaming ourselves:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night'sQueen Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Anything involving the Ironborn. ALL I remember is blah blah blah, drowned God, blah blah blah, Kingsmoot. Yes. Uggghh! Enough about the kingsmoot already!!! I thought Dornish Marches were swampy (because words 'marches' and 'marshes' look similar). Um, yeah. I pictured them as marshes until... just now. :blushing: Brynden's by the Black brothers in the woods.Thats how I remember it ha. LOL. Nice! Thank you!! Harzoos. And with that i mean every slaver in the books Yeah, I don't even try with those. "Harzoo" is one of my favorite lines. Love the Big Man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Criston of House Shapper Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I read all the books within a three-month-period, so I had completely forgotten about all of Theon's uncles by the time I got to Feast. I also can't distinguish any of the Sand Snakes from one another. With the exception of Sallera, they just kind of blend together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talleyrand Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I keep on mixing up Bastard Walder and Black Walder and occasionally thinking they're the same person. Also my mental image of Hizdahr was that he was fat for some reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caprico4 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I imagine Jon looking similar to Harry Potter.They both have that emo-honorable-do-the-right-thing vibe going. And not to mention precocious maturity... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Typer of Dorne Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Here's another one I keep mixing up. Drogo dies because Dany smothers him with a pillow, he doesn't die of his scratch (technically). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
