@cowboyfantome When I started reading I thought his bastards would be more involved in the obvious succession crisis coming up. Particularly after finding about Jeoffrey's birth. Some Blackfire rebellion of a short could have happened here.

@belladonnafeli I mean, this is George R R Martín, there is a big chance of some of this plot developing in a way radically different to what we imagined.
English
About 80% of the replies have confirmed to me that no one read Tyrion, Danys or Quentyns chapters in ADWD…
felicity 📖@belladonnafeli
Tapping the sign again for people forgetting what Dany has to do before getting to Westeros cause it seems like everyone is forgetting
English
In the asoiaf fandom they will call you a stupid targ stan for pointing out the other noble houses benefit and use the power structure in place to exploit the smallfolk and don’t care about them, despite this being the plot of the main books.
English
@kyle_lome @OurHiltsHurt Offers: War and murder
Requires: War, murder and the occasional suicide by drowning
English
@GunnerDobbins Also, Northerns rarely practice knighthood, they would have no place in a tourney for knights
English
The Starks have to actually run the largest kingdom lmao, they aren’t losing generations of family in tourneys
Old Valyria@_oldvalyria
Where are the Starks in "The Knight of Seven Kingdoms" ?
English
@FrenlyOfficer Or maybe he meant to do it and all but his death came to sudden. Don't leave these kinds of things to your dead bed, people.
English
It was actually because he was 16 and it would’ve been ridiculous and he wasn’t mature enough yet as a person or skilled enough yet at arms to merit it

The reason why Ser Arlan never knighted Dunk wasn't to spare him a rough life or anything like that. It was to teach him that the true meaning of knighthood was more than just a ceremony and some words. #AKnightOfTheSevenKingdoms
English
@SuperSuavesky @belladonnafeli It wasn't thought
The kingdom prospered. There was no shortage of food or money. The only conflict there was with iron islander and didn't affect the mainland. He managed to take control of Westeros after 300 years of Targaryen control.
English
@lordCubiIV @belladonnafeli The kingdom was declining under his rule
English
@cantujorge94 @cheglyf @belladonnafeli I would argue Robert's expensive habits were part of the reason for his popularity and helped keep the commoners happy
English
@cheglyf @belladonnafeli @lordCubiIV He could not stop his former ward from going into serious debt w the iron bank and the lannisters
English
@belladonnafeli Robert was 19/20 at the start of the rebellion
More or less Theon age when he was a guard to Ned
English
Wait a minute why tf was Robert still a ward of Jon Arryn when he’s like in his 20s?
English
@MalazofWesteros To be fair, this book is narrated by Witt, Sanderson insufferable self insert
English
Blandon Slopderson not surprised.
Decafishere 💚🍓@DECAFVoka
People think this is a good page 😭😭😭
English
@takemeoutmiles To be fair the affair with Rhaegar's children was Tywin nor Robert.
Sure, Robert's decision to forgive it, may be questionable but makes sense from a political point of view, even Ned agreed on that much.
English
just because rhaegar is a terrible guy does not mean robert was ANY kind of good bro

@thales_anxmates Sanderson has a better world building, you could make an argument for better characters but the prose in itself is remarkably inferior to Hobb.
However Martin is superior in all of those aspects.
English
there's no world where robin hobb's a better writer than sanderson
PS@dostoevesque
No disrespect to George RR Martin, but if we're talking about the greatest fantasy authors right now, it has to be Steven Erikson and Robin Hobb. Not only are both exceptionally talented writers, but they also had the vision to plan their epic sagas and the discipline to see them through to completion. One crafted a history, magic system, and pantheon of gods with incredible depth, while the other built her legacy on an intense focus on a single, deeply flawed, and achingly real character. Malazan and Realm of the Elderlings are two epic series one can confidently invest their time in because they have a conclusion.
English
@nonregemesse There are 4 Tully whose names are a reference to the Muppets
Kermit Tully being the most funny of them all
English
Some of GRRM’s names are jarringly modern sounding.
Jamie, Jayce, Ned etc.
Very American too.
boland@bolandadrian
@nonregemesse Still can’t believe there is an actual character he called Kevin
English
@killiorrNJ @ghostnjon Where did this happen?
Because I'm pretty sure Brienne didn't have a POV when he fought Jaime. From Jaime point of view it was Brienne who showed surprisingly competent and was able to stop all of Jaime attacks.
English
@lordCubiIV @ghostnjon Okay well its GRRM's way of putting it not mine “He is weak from imprisonment, she realized. No food, no training… and yet he is more than a match for me.”
English
@killiorrNJ @ghostnjon "More than a match" is a way of putting. Malnourished and injured Jaime was enough to be an inconvenience. With all his strength I would give him a fair 90/10 against Brienne. A 70/30 against the mountain. No more than a 60/40 against prime Robert.
English
@lordCubiIV @ghostnjon Brienne says herself that no knight could stand against him at his full strength and that even malnourished and injured he was more than a match for her
English
@biged681985 @ghostnjon These are knights who go to battle in their horses. Jousts are probably more important to them than swordskill.
English
@DrMarklar @ghostnjon I would argue that for knights who go to battle with their horses, jousting is a better proof of skill than melee combat. Additionally, Jaime loved tournaments and probably was as proficient at jousting as he was at any other thing.
English
@lordCubiIV @ghostnjon Jousting. You’re talking about jousting? A fancy game for fancy lads.
English
@lordCubiIV @ghostnjon You just put Brienne in with the Hound and the Mountain ?
