Nymeria is a Direwolf about the equivalent of a land Orca, when Direwolves populated the land they were probably one of the things that kept the human population down. A single direwolf is a threat to someone in full plate armor imagine what a pack would do if they felt humans were easy pickings. Even more so during a war when corpses are plentiful and the meals come easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nagini's Neville Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Everyone in Westeros is probably mentally ill by our standards. At least most of them have a healthy dose of PTSD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to Westeros and our standards...90% of men would/should be locked up for rape, pedophelia, murder, property transgression and destruction, war crimes, theft and so forth. About 80%-99% of parents would/should have their children taken away because of neglect, grooming, sexual/emotional/mental abuse, child brides/grooms, forced to watch violence (such as beheadings) and so on.

I beg pardon, dear Mystical! Just one thing, most of the abusers, rapists and child molesters.. aren't locked up in our world either. But it's way worse in Westeros for sure.

That's the number one reason why they lost the north and Winterfell. Cat kidnaps Tywin Lannister's son, Sansa can't keep her trap shut, Robb can't keep his word, and Jon can't mind his own business. The Stark kids are. Shit heads, that is. Ned was a decent fellow. Tywin would kidnap Robb too if the Starks had tried to kill Jaime. Catelyn did what Brandon did long ago. I can understand some of it but to us it's inconsiderate of the collateral damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yeah but that's because our world makes laws they aren't willing to enforce to the letter, sadly. But at least we have them so technically that's would happen if we applied our standards to Westeros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering what the others have done at a similar age, the Stark kids are the least shitty shit heads. Cersei had murdered her best friend. Tyrion had raped Tysha. Dany's desire for some ugly ass piece of real estate destroyed a village and the people in it.

I love the Starks but in all fairness it is argued that Robb decimated the riverlands & got himself & his men slaughtered, Arya is putting notches on her belt at an alarming number, Bran mind rapes Hodor, Jon - well all kinds of things get blamed on Jon & Sansa was the initial catalyst that brought down her entire house. I don't agree with all of those things but I don't agree with some of what you said irt some of the other children either. I'm just saying, kids are shortsighted & impulsive long after they are seen as 'adults' in any given society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious on how you arrived at that conclusion, I understand his men probably foraged as they moved hurting the smallfolk.

I'm just saying, kids are shortsighted & impulsive long after they are seen as 'adults' in any given society. First of all...intend matters. Robb didn't crown himself King of the Trident. Second, most of his men died thanks to Roose and Walder (and Tywin by proxy), Robb didn't kill them himself. He can't also be everywhere at once to watch every single person in his army. He's not Tywin who deliberately send men to terrorize the smallfolk. So it was never his intend. The one thing you could argue is that they never should have called the banners in the first place and just stayed in the North (Ned isn't worth thousands of smallfolk getting killed). Arya intentionally goes after people who have hurt her or her family. That's probably gray as hell but it's not like her targets are innocents. Bran warging Hodor in life threatening situations can be seen as gray, when he does it intentionally for shits and giggles, that's abhorrent. The Sansa thing is nonsense anyway and the worst that Jon did was separate a mother from her child with the intention to save another child. But how can you disagree with the other children? Did Cersei not kill her best friend as a child just for saying Jamie is oh so dreamy? Did Tyrion not rape his wife Tysha when he was 13 or so? Did MMD and her village not suffer in part for Dany's ambition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finley McLeod Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Mystical, The worst thing that Jon did is send the guiltiest criminal in Westeros to sneak his sister away from her husband.

I said "It is argued" & "I DON'T AGREE" I'm not arguing that those things are right & true, I'm giving you examples of the things people argue the Starks have done.

Did MMD and her village not suffer in part for Dany's ambition? I agree about Cersei. For the others, you cannot allow exceptions for the Starks & not for anyone else. "It wasn't Robb's intention for the smallfolk of the riverlands to suffer" "Arya is only killing people that have hurt her or her family" "It's only bad when Bran skinchanges Hodor if it's not in a life threatening situation" "Sansa didn't mean to cause any harm" Now, I'm not saying I don't agree with all or at least most of these statements, I'm saying you cannot give exceptions here & not in Tyrion & Dany's situations. Without going to far into it - Tyrion was in an extreme situation & was a child. He was told to do something by his father, one of the most powerful men in Westeros. Dany didn't intend for MMD & her village to suffer & did the best she could to minimize it. There is actually page upon page of this being argued above, so I don't really wanna go back through all the details. My point is just that if there are exceptions allowed, intent considered, in some cases it should be so in all cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, must be a record! But no matter, any thread, especially those directly involving the Starks will turn into a mental Jon/Stark hate thread. “If you build it, he they will come”.
