Back in Black-Snow Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 Thank you @kissedbyfire and @cyberdirectorfreedom for your contributions. I have been overwhelemed with things going on in the real world the past few days and have not had time to contribute the this post or the forum as a whole. But I very much appreciate the text provided. I have not done a re-read in a couple years or so, and honestly I don't spend time looking up text when I discuss different topics/things on this forum. So thank you both, and to everyone else who has contributed. I wasn't just making an OP for arguments' sake, but genuinely wanted an answer and I feel that you two, @kissedbyfire and @cyberdirectorfreedom provided that answer. Sorry if things are messed up. I am just now trying to figure out how to tag people. So forgive me if there is any confusion. Also, thank you to everyone else who has contributed.

What I mean is, I would respect George's to change his mind, since he hasn't given us anything in concrete, except for Ned's thoughts. Yeah, technically he can. Thematically, I think the odds are about zero though. Only death can pay for life is a very deep theme in this series. In other variations, we get only death (or infertility, death of children, estrangement of children or loss of one's family heritage, etc) can pay for life (or exceptional abilities which amount to remarkable control over the lives and deaths of others). It's in the barren and eunuch healers who save the lives of the Dothraki, the silent sisters who are healers of the dead, unmarried Maesters, officially childless KG and NW, and magic users being disadvantaged somehow with their children, if they have any at all. It comes from rl, too. Exceptional supernatural beings and superheroes don't get traditional families. Even see it in rl religion, too. Bran gets exceptional abilities in his influence over the lives and deaths of others (Others?), but there's a big cost to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X-Buster Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Bran is paralyzed in the lower half of his body. It is safer to bet that he's not able to have children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aryagonnakill#2 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 My simplistic understanding is that it would depend exactly where his back broke, which specific vertebrae. Given that he can use his upper body I believe he should be good to go but idk for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even w/o knowing exactly where his spinal cord was severed, we do know that he has no use of his legs, no feeling, and at the same time can move his arms and has normal respiratory function. So we know the lesion is not too high. But the main thing is, there’s no activity below the waist, meaning an erection would be practically impossible save some sort of miracle/magical cure or Bran being an exception to the rule.
