Raymund Fossoway casually dropping that Planetos is actually post-apocalyptic because the Targaryens and therefore the Valyrians are aliens is hilarious

If House Arryn is your favorite, you’re a pathetic liar do the world a favor, skip the trial, and hurl yourself out the Moon Door.

@JackPosobiec Because Faegon is just as likely to be a complete rando as he is to be a Blackfyre, a dragonseed, or someone of Valyrian blood it’s deliberately ambiguous, so we’ll probably never know.

How are they going to bring the Blackfyres into KOT7K when they removed Faegon from the main Game of Thrones series? TV lore isn't going to hold up...

@rarepairqueen3 @belladonnafeli Farkk

@Simpzy @belladonnafeli That's Cat😭

@hunderscorep2 @lambilism Well, no.. because we know that time travellers exist in the story.. Wait you don't think time travellers exist in real life, right?.. 🤣

@FrenlyOfficer Or maybe he’s just a random dragonseed, or someone of Valyrian blood.. It's deliberately ambiguous, so we’ll never know.

Reminder that canonically, Varys is Aerion’s grandson.

So it’s around here that either Bran Stark or Bloodraven started playing 4D cheese, warged into Maekar, and began rearranging the dominoes to get Egg on the throne… or the Kingsguard off camera smacked Baelor on the head a few extra times. Take your pick.

@HenryHarper523 No one’s mad. We don’t think Cavill suits Daemon Blackfyre. Reacting to casting rumours is kind of what fandoms do.

@Simpzy you guys are just making stuff up to get mad about

Henry Cavill as Daemon Blackfyre? Please God no. I’ve suffered enough.

@jeantoliver17 Not according to Dex 🤣

@Simpzy Maybe we luck out and he’s been cast as Ser Lucas Longinch?

@LOTRWorldwide Jamie stabs Ned in the back faster than you can say Howland Reed

Who wins? Jaime Lannister or Boromir?

@javedaslamsays God I wish George never added dragons. Should’ve sunk Essos and never written Daenerys at all.

HBO gave us the ending they wanted. Fans never accepted it. Now Seedance 2.0 used AI to create the ending we deserved. Say what you will about AI, but this is what it's capable of. #GameofThrones

@Thel4342 That doesn’t prove anything. Fevre Dream and Skin Trade are both written with the same deliberate ambiguity GRRM uses everywhere else he plays with magic, but always leaves the door open for a sci-fi explanation underneath. GRRM’s whole thing is blurring the lines.

@Simpzy Skin Trade is an Urban Fantasy book where people hunt down werewolves and wear their skins. Fevre Dream is another urban fantasy book focusing on vampires. He is writing fantasy. And the show takes place in the show's universe, which has confirmed magic and no sci-fi

Raymund Fossoway casually dropping that Planetos is actually post-apocalyptic because the Targaryens and therefore the Valyrians are aliens is hilarious

@Thel4342 It’s still written to be ambiguous, though. GRRM uses forgotten magic as a narrative style, but he never confirms it is magic he leaves space for sci fi interpretations on purpose. Calling it high fantasy doesn’t suddenly make the mechanics clear or literal.

@Simpzy A Song of Ice and Fire is literally high fantasy, with magic on the forefront. There is no theme in ASOIAF that showcases technology being a higher stipend of magic, its just magic. Forgotten magic. That's the genre we're in

@Thel4342 GRRM is a sci-fi writer first, and his “magic” is basically soft sci-fi in disguise. Warging, shadows, dragons, prophecies, it’s all psionics, not gods.

@Simpzy This secret sci-fi implication of alien is not what the writers were implying, and is certainly not George's implication, and wouldn't make sense otherwise. We also know, for a fact, that Valyrians were slaves and sheepherders before they used their lore-credited magic 4 dragons

@Thel4342 The Wall and the Doom don’t prove real magic; they just show people using words they understand. Ancient tech or telepathy can explain all of it. Triggering volcanoes doesn’t require gods, and Planetos feeling post-apocalyptic actually fits sci-fi

@Simpzy The wall in the North is Magical. The Doom of Valyria is implied to be a magical ritual involving the Volcanoes of Valyria. Planetos obviously is a post apocalyptic setting, because the Doom of Valyria and the nature of Azhor Ahai was apocalyptic and magical in nature.

@Thel4342 No, there are no gods in ASOIAF. Nothing ever shows up, speaks, or intervenes. Everything people call “divine” can be explained through sci-fi logic, telepathy, psychic projection, and ancient knowledge people don’t understand anymore.

@Simpzy Okay but its literally magic. Asoiaf is a fantasy series. The Valyrians called it blood magic, their descendants called it blood magic, the lore calls it blood magic. Its magical in nature. The Valyrians had gods, and dragon trumpets. We know that the wall is magical
