Happy Hippo posted:Yeah, if you read that and came away with "Joffrey rapes Tommen" then pass that poo poo over here, son. "Go away inside" might as well just be code for sexual abuse in fiction. However in this case I think it just as likely Tommen did it to get away from violent things Joffrey did to him or others. I think there's an intended parallel between Tommen and how Jamie tuned out and thought of his sister while the Mad King was roasting people alive.

So, our current choices for discussion are "Did GRRM put too much rape in his books, or not enough?" or "What Harry Potter house is every character in?" Hmmmmm...Piell posted:Sam is a Hufflepuff gently caress you, if Sam isn't a Ravenclaw I will eat a Sorting Hat.  Yeah though Jaime and Brienne and Jon and possibly Dany are Gryffindors and every maester is a Ravenclaw and a lot of the smallfolk are probably Hufflepuffs but I'd say probably 90% of the characters that do things in these books are Slytherins. I'm not sure about Tyrion, though. I could see arguments for every house except Hufflepuff. e: Propaganda Machine posted:House Hufflepuff: Having a lot of trouble seeing Renly "Party All The Time" Baratheon as a hardworking Hufflepuff, dude. I think it's more likely that the Baratheons are one of those all-Gryffindor families like the Weasleys. loquacius fucked around with this message at 14:41 on Feb 6, 2014 |

World's are colliding everyone run! Dany is totally She who must not be named. Edit: oh god I'm actually going to explain myself. We know Dany's ok because we are in her head but imagine if we weren't and there's just the rumors of some crazy kid with dragons burning citys and murdering everyone. She even has masked killers like the death eaters. Fragmented fucked around with this message at 14:50 on Feb 6, 2014 |

I seem to recall the spoiler thread spiraling out of control the few months immediately prior to season 3 starting. I suppose after 8 months, give or take, of no show this is what happens. Also Neville Longbottom is Azor Ahai reborn.

There's a bunch of things in the books that people seem to dislike, but I loved because of this framing. For example, I love where Tyrion's story has gone. So many people's favorite character, and he's not dead (yet)! Unfortunately, he's a slave with ASOIAF-leprosy now. Then people complain about ADWD "ruining" Tyrion. Duh.

Drunkboxer posted:My God, shut up you monsters. Seriously. To try and get things back on track, I am reading Dragons and Crows now. It's amazing how much better it flows together, and you don't get sick to death of characters because their POVs are more spread out. I'm about halfway through it. Who do you think betrayed Arianne Martell re: Myrcella being spirited out of Dorne to be crowned? I'm leaning toward Arys Oakheart.

I thought Areo was just telling her what he thought happened. Doran said he was watching her and thought it would be best to let her carry out her little plans so she could learn the hard way just how far out of her league she was, he just didn't expect her failure to be massive that she could start a war with the Lannisters.Omnomnomnivore posted:Lannister It really would been more relevant to the season too.

CapnAndy posted:Isn't at least one of her plotmates hecka slutty? Someone let something slip in pillow talk and it spread. Arianne's good at loyalty but really bad at plotting. I either see it being Darkstar or Arys. Arys because he was caught in such a clusterfuck that he wanted to remain loyal to Myrcella, and hide his shame from betraying Arianne, basically went into all of that suicidal. Darkstar suggests that killing Myrcella would bring the war Arianne wants, but I haven't extrapolated much from that.

They held a web poll to choose between Stark/Targ/Lannister (the S1 and S2 covers minus Greyjoy), Tyrell/Mannis/Tully, or faces. The correct choice was the new houses, but the old houses won. Whatever, I went Stark and Greyjoy before so I'll pick up a Lannister now. Screw the Targs.

Ballz posted:I still have expect them to say "gently caress consistency" and bring this terrible idea back: God that is so hideous. Stark and Lannister to kick off makes sense, they are the main houses at the start but are either gone or on the way out now, it will be more appropriate having Bolton, Baratheon or Tyrell later. And there was always gonna be an early Targ for Kelly Cs fans. I kind of wish they'd made the Bolton sigil more stylised though. It sticks out compared to the others.

I just finished burning through that 'A Read of Ice and Fire' recap series that someone mentioned in the thread and it was a surprisingly enjoyable and easy read. The lady who writes it can be maddeningly dense sometimes but provides an interesting feminist perspective that I probably in my first read through. She definitely made me appreciate Cat Stark a lot more after her RW reaction (which was golden). There is no way in hell that she is going to get through the first Victarion chapter without ragequitting the series though. She doesn't even like Asha, Euron will be the devil incarnate to her.

geeves posted:I wonder if that will change once in her PoV - it did for Jaime. Perhaps. From my recollection the Kingsmoot was between: -Asha; white peace with the North sand keep whatever lands the Ironborn currently hold. -Victarion; Conquer the North , declare independence. -Euron; Conquer Westeros. -Some minor lord; keep sailing west until they reach Asshai or whatever. -A Fat Lord; Just wanted the job or something (?) And Asha's platform was probably the most sensible. However I suspect the recapper would not agree with Asha's willingness to work within the Ironborn's abhorrent culture. Also she has a long conversation with Rodrick the Reader who is very much more reasonable in comparison. I cannot remember what happens to Asha after the Kingsmoot, doesn't she get captured by Stannis or something?

Still, I was secretly hoping for Tyrell, and it might be the last season for which Tully is even reasonable. Also, I'm sorry but Renly is a loving Hufflepuff. That boy is. ..touched.

He'd have won the war because he had all the support of Storm's End & Highgarden, not because he was actually good at leading men into battle or ruling. He was playing king. When you first see him, it's almost like he's having a tourney at his war camp. If he won, it would have been simply due to the fact that he had people much smarter than him controlling him and supporting him.
