mysnowdragons: Yeah! And it’s fine to ship that (just, I think, a little silly to be stubborn about it being Totally Canon Wait And See – it’s a perfectly acceptable AU even if it’s not my cuppa). But it’s a little insulting to assume that people on Team Jonerys haven’t read the books. (A zillion... Continue Reading →
Hey! So I was debating with people who strongly believed that Sansa had a claim on WF (as Robb’s heir) even after the Bolton were named Warden of the North, while Daenerys’s claim to the IT was non-existent since the Targaryen claim was supplanted and deposed by the GC after Robert’s rebellion. But I’m confused… weren’t both claims (Stark and Targaryen) legally overthrown? Wasn’t it the Crown who granted the Bolton wardenship of the North? Or is it 2 different situations altogether?
mysnowdragons: Hmm. OK, this required some thought! I’m not sure what they were referring to with the GC (Golden Company? The Blackfyre claimants on the Iron Throne pretty much ended with the end of the War of the Ninepenny Kings, right? The male line ended then. Fake Aegon is most likely a Blackfyre descendent from...

Burning the Red Keep–accusations against Dany
instantbouquetface-me: Okay, so I believe it is worth it to examine this as the fact that Dany was saying that she should do this for a brief instant during an angry outburst after learning of catastrophic losses is sometimes treated as incontrovertible evidence for the DarkDany and mad queen theories. OK, lets go over this.... Continue Reading →
thelawyerthatwaspromised: tatticstudio55: thelawyerthatwaspromised: sxpiosexualx: why are some of y’all genuinely ok with Dany wanting to burn down the Red Keep because her “enemies” are there as if her hopping on Drogon to burn the entire building down isn’t going to involve massive casualties including handmaidens who more or less live most their lives in servitude, and...

When in despair…
I know a lot of people associate desperate Dany with mad Dany. Their conclusion? When she’ll have nothing left to hold on to, she’ll snap for good and destroy everything (KL is a popular victim of her madness) We’ve seen Dany in desperate (or extremely precarious) situations before, though, and usually, her first instinct wasn’t...

Moved chat pt 4
@mollyraesly Alright, let’s see: “Thanks for responding. I’ll try to do this in a logical order. (1) Dany herself says that if she looks back she is lost. Her character’s drive to be constantly moving forward serves her plot-wise but it also makes her a conqueror. Dragons plant no trees. (2) you say Jon can... Continue Reading →
Am I missing something here?
yourheartofwolfanddragon: tatticstudio55: I had this discussion with 2 tumblers. Unsure where it went wrong, or what their logic was. Can someone help me? PS: this was the original “subject of debate” (the one I wrote) 1) Claims and family names : Dany’s claim to the IT based on her family name isn’t more brittle that Jon... Continue Reading →
Moved chat pt 3
boHi @mollyraesly! Thank you for being respectful. “looking back just suggests that Dany is LOST, though. That’s not supposed to be a good thing for her character. It suggests that her love of Jon will endanger her or hold her back. Also, this is something I’ve never understood, so please let me know your feelings... Continue Reading →
