The Riverlands has three incredible castles: Harrenhall, Riverrun and The Twins. The riverlands seems to be fertile and populous. What makes it so hard to defend?

Would have been great if we saw him escaping the red wedding, I mean he would have had to have taken down some Freys whilst on the run back to Riverrun

I heard he’d taken the only copy of the finished draft of winds of winter with him. But there was a tragic accident.

Love that song so much, had it as my ringtone for years. Drogon saving Daenerys gives me whole body opioid withdrawal level chills no matter how many times i watch 😅

The show obviously didn’t delve into much detail regarding the fate of the Dothraki following Daenerys’s death.

However, I can’t help but ponder on what their fate might’ve been. They are a horse nomadic warrior people the likes of which many have existed in real history, who now find themselves in a brand new continent to raid and pillage at will, but who now lack any sort of organized leadership.

Such a historical precedent does exist in real life history with peoples like the Cumans, Pechenegs, Tatars and the like.

Maybe they ended up assimilating into Westerosi society?

Maybe some will continue their traditional lifestyle terrorizing the countryside of Westeros?

Maybe some will give their service as sellswords fighting as elite light cavalry units for whatever house or noble hires them?

Idk. What do you guys think?

I really enjoyed the entire show including season 7 and 8 but the ending was the most shit thing ever

They could not have broken the gate to Winterfell in time to capture Ramsay. His death was such a kick in the gut.

It only took two years for the Masters to retake Astapor and Yunkai after Daenerys left them, and after the siege of Meereen, it was only fear of Daenerys and the dragons that kept the Masters in line.

But now, Daenerys, Rhaeghal, and Viserion are dead, Grey Worm and the Unsullied are retired on Naath, and all that remains of Daenerys' powerbase in Essos is Daario Nahaaris and the Second Sons, who don't have the numbers to put down a slavers' resurgence.

Especially since Daenerys never took other slave cities like Lys or Volantis, and there will always be a market for slaves. The Lysene will want bedslaves, and people like the Qohorik and Illyrio Mopatis will want Unsullied.

Daenerys didn't break the wheel. She just held it on place for a few years.

Notable for making clear to not expect any update about Winds in the upcoming announcement.

From a pop psychology perspective, I am curious why he doesn’t just give a short update rather than regularly mentioning that he won’t be giving an update? He drops ‘winds’ into most of his blog posts but always in the context of ‘don’t ask me about it’.

Wouldn’t it be easier to just give an update? If he’s getting lots of annoying mail about it, the best way to shut people up is to simply tell them what’s happening. Maybe I am oversimplifying …

What do you think Daemon would’ve thought of Rhaenyra? I’m genuinely so curious.

A Feast for Crows: The Illustrated Edition will be released November 4, 2025!!!

Watch the title music video. Now tell me this isn’t a young version of the one true king.

Stannis was a bit dumb but the red witch ruined him. Never thought he would be ultimately finished by a butch karen.

I think i heard him speak maybe 5 times probably didn't see him that much more either I don't get why they done this and why they gave him such a stupid death it just felt pointless they could of done a spin off or something where the wilding he left with get lost and jon hunts for him or something after being banished but dieing that way just left a bad taste. Is it the same in the books I haven't read them that he just is there doesn't do much.

We are already in 2025 (it's been more than 10 years) and until today, unfortunately, nothing.

He actually let her eat and had casual conversations with her. Even admitted he enjoyed her company.

Male characters don't usually acknowledge their cup-bearers like this, or low status women/girls in these times in general.

Kind of wish he found out she was Arya later on but that's not important anyway lol.

So during a rewatch of season 4 and after having read through the novels again, I just realized this particular scene was Bronn's final appearance in the novels and likely was meant to be his final appearance in the show as well.

Main reason being that >! In the novels Bronn does become Lord of Castle Stokeworth and is not seen again in the 4th and 5th books but is mentioned here and there as having put down a plot to have him killed by Cersei !<

What Was The Point

Maybe it's my memory but I don't remember their pourpose, I remember them helping Bran and others into the cave and telling their backstory but what exactly did they do other than that???

Not complaining but I'm just curious as to where they went or what they're pourpose was
