i thought the jamie rehabilitation was so well done that is had to be p well planned but maybe my recollection is generous

I actually cackled a bit once I realized that dude was all in---like "oh shiiiiiiit you are really going for it"
plot thing I keep getting faked out on: arya reuniting with nymeria. he's feinted at it a couple times (mostly around Harenhall), but I'm beginning to wonder if it's all a red herring

jamie rehabilitation makes me sad that him and tyrion are going to have to kill each other, i wish they could just go on road trips together, the brothers one-hand and shorty

that video, from the other thread? that is how i felt
p much

that shit makes ned dying feel like a happy effing ending
― ☂ (max), Monday, 13 June 2011 19:34 (twelve years ago) link
maybe i am giving way way too much credit, but i thought that having the starks and the lannisters starting off as the too-obvious good and evil sides of the series and then massacring them and turning two of the remaining lannister adults into 'good guys' was genius.

w/r/t jaimes rehab: it was done well, but I sensed a...break between how he was rendered in the first book and how he was later developed, is all. like all the stuff about aerys' cruelty and w/e seemed like it was conceived after the first book
― all the pretty HOOSes (gbx), Monday, 13 June 2011 19:37 (twelve years ago) link
Well we only see Jamie through other people's eyes at first, and mainly from a distance
― Number None, Monday, 13 June 2011 19:38 (twelve years ago) link
jamie doesnt get a p.o.v. in the first book though
― ☂ (max), Monday, 13 June 2011 19:38 (twelve years ago) link
Agreed! Just think the decision to do this hadn't been made at the outset is all.
Anyway how will Joffrey die is what I want to know
― all the pretty HOOSes (gbx), Monday, 13 June 2011 19:39 (twelve years ago) link
ahhhhhh that's it
like duh of course
hey gbx, out of interest, where are you up to. are you just past the red wedding?
― Roberto Spiralli, Monday, 13 June 2011 19:41 (twelve years ago) link
arya becomes a faceless man, travels to westeros to do the deed, pipped to the post by....littlefinger? loras? a tragic and lolzy riding accident? ~dragons?
― all the pretty HOOSes (gbx), Monday, 13 June 2011 19:42 (twelve years ago) link
I'm all the way through it
wait, all the way thru the 4?

― all the pretty HOOSes (gbx), Monday, 13 June 2011 19:43 (twelve years ago) link
and you're asking how Joffrey will die...?

i was trying to think of an oblique, non-spoilery way of saying that.
― Roberto Spiralli, Monday, 13 June 2011 19:45 (twelve years ago) link
god I am dumb
― all the pretty HOOSes (gbx), Monday, 13 June 2011 19:46 (twelve years ago) link
like I actually had to think for a second
ANYWAY
pretend i meant cersei
― all the pretty HOOSes (gbx), Monday, 13 June 2011 19:47 (twelve years ago) link
loll
― Roberto Spiralli, Monday, 13 June 2011 19:47 (twelve years ago) link
i actually dont really want cersei to die, i just want her to be thrown out of power and disgraced and humiliated.
the freys, i want to die. all of them. slowly.

I dunno, i kind of feel bad for Fat Walda
― Number None, Monday, 13 June 2011 20:10 (twelve years ago) link
btw is coldhands actually benjen stark y/n
― all the pretty HOOSes (gbx), Monday, 13 June 2011 20:12 (twelve years ago) link
walder dying would be too inconsequential because he is thereabouts already. would rather see him humiliated. all of his heirs dying would be p hilarious, the continuation of his line being probably the one certainty he has in life. the gods should tear down the twins. surprise volcano.
― Roberto Spiralli, Monday, 13 June 2011 20:13 (twelve years ago) link
xp almost feels too obvious, but probably. did they burn thorin?
― Roberto Spiralli, Monday, 13 June 2011 20:14 (twelve years ago) link
Coldhands = Benjen is certainly the most common theory. I have no idea though really
― Number None, Monday, 13 June 2011 20:15 (twelve years ago) link
uh, qhorin
― Roberto Spiralli, Monday, 13 June 2011 20:15 (twelve years ago) link
Had Sam never seen Benjen?
― low-rent black gangster nicknamed Bootsy (DJP), Monday, 13 June 2011 20:15 (twelve years ago) link
Don't think so
― Number None, Monday, 13 June 2011 20:16 (twelve years ago) link
yeah he was gone when sam showed up
is theon the most pitiable character, y/n
― all the pretty HOOSes (gbx), Monday, 13 June 2011 20:17 (twelve years ago) link
I've said this before on here but for some reason i'm still clinging to the notion that Theon will redeem himself
― Number None, Monday, 13 June 2011 20:18 (twelve years ago) link
if it were any other series id say that theon will kill the bastard bolton but martin doesnt like neat tie-ups like that
― ☂ (max), Monday, 13 June 2011 20:19 (twelve years ago) link
kinda worried about rickon. wonder if after the ultimate happy ending someone will stumble upon the skeleton of a little boy and a direwolf in a ditch to sour it.
― Roberto Spiralli, Monday, 13 June 2011 20:21 (twelve years ago) link
would serve him right, hes a bad lil kid
― ☂ (max), Monday, 13 June 2011 20:21 (twelve years ago) link
i think theon will do something that ~ought~ to redeem him, but it will be anonymous or mistaken as someone else's work or something
xp rickon's gonna turn into a gollum like little dude
― all the pretty HOOSes (gbx), Monday, 13 June 2011 20:22 (twelve years ago) link
what are the odds Theon is somehow going to end up getting tossed out of the Eyrie
― low-rent black gangster nicknamed Bootsy (DJP), Monday, 13 June 2011 20:24 (twelve years ago) link
Thinking along the same lines gbx
― Number None, Monday, 13 June 2011 20:25 (twelve years ago) link
maybe instead of seeing things through his wolf, Rickon's wolf is seeing things through him
― low-rent black gangster nicknamed Bootsy (DJP), Monday, 13 June 2011 20:26 (twelve years ago) link
rickon and his wolf being assholes are kind of a counterpoint to the whole lannisters-becoming-good thing. maybe by the end of the book there will have been a full volte-face.
― Roberto Spiralli, Monday, 13 June 2011 20:34 (twelve years ago) link
dany + jon fight back the others, reunite and secure the kingdom, then shaggydog fucks them up. fin.
― Roberto Spiralli, Monday, 13 June 2011 20:36 (twelve years ago) link
maybe the book series ends with Daenerys reclaiming the throne and proclaiming a new age of peace, offering amnesty to all of the other noble families and marrying Jamie to bolster her coffers, only to be assassinated by a vengeful Arya

haha how many martin threadz are there on ilx?
fuck the freys tho, srsly, hang them all

I am almost done w/ the first book and so far it seems like the book is divided so:
25% descriptions of food 25% descriptions of what people are wearing25% of how women are useless25% hodgepodge of cursing, sex, and what the spirit animal of each house is
