Quick history lesson - "jape" became popular during the 1300s, particularly within the writings of Geoffrey "Joffrey" Chaucer. It came from the medieval French "japer", one who yells and makes fun of others. "Japer" came from the Latin "jocus", meaning passing the time telling funny stories about others. "Jocus" was pronounced "jokus", which led to the word "joke" in the 1600s.

Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.

Like theirs literally like 3 other Aemon Targeyens and not one of them have a D in their name. I get that out of universe bro is basically just Daemon but edgy but is there any in universe reason for his name Bing like that?

I made this in class yesterday (: msg me if u have questions omg i made it but put the wrong name lmao

1. S1E8 The Pointy end

2.S2E8 Blackwater

3.S3E7 The beat and the maiden fair

4.S4E2 The Lion and the Rose

I personally really loved the battle of blackwater one of the best episodes in the early seasons

Like in his arrogance he never gave Gregor the clear instruction to not harm elia and her children despite knowing about Gregor's brutality which means he sent him there under his command knowing the things he would do.

Now what Gregor did to elia enraged Oberyn Martel. Who , as we all know was killed in trial by combat but he also killed Gregor

Now , enraged by Oberyn's death , ellaria Sand killed Myrcella, Oberyn's brother and trystane too.

So like even though Tywin is well liked and a great commander isn't he a complete a-hole for doing something which caused so many deaths including some of his own family's deaths.

Like i had to check twice before knowing it was just Jace with long hair 😭

Spoilers for GOT and TWOW:

I’m suddenly unemployed and have way too much time on my hands. I am re watching the show again from the beginning and I’m genuinely curious how someone like Robb Stark would react to the magic elements of the show. Would he believe the White Walkers were real and a real threat? Then you have Dragons, Lady Stoneheart, Jon Snows resurrection , skin changing and whatever fire magic that allowed Daenerys to survive funeral pyre and that whole tent in Vahes Dothrak. There are no Robb chapters in the books and the show only has him make a reference to one of Old Nans tales. In my opinion, he’s too practical and too much like Edd
Thoughts?

I think Davos would've convinced Stannis to keep them alive as leverage against Tywin.

Defo not a stag. Flaming moose is the sigil of stannis the mannis

Just imagine If Ramsey went south with roose I honestly think it helps robs war a lot especially with the frays just give Ramsey 20 good men and he could probably sneak in and take the twins for Rob stark.

This leaves Rob open to marry someone else plus I could also imagine Ramsey going with Theon to the iron lands to make sure a deal happens between the north and the ironborn.

Just imagine if Ramsey convinces Theon to allow him to murder his father so he can become lord of the iron islands at this point in the story I think Theons ego will allow Ramsey to do it especially when Theon realises his father doesnt care for him.

This makes the iron islands join the starks in the war against the Lannisters which massively helps Rob.

Honestly if I was Rob I would use Ramsey a lot in the war he could get stuff done.

When she says “I have no power. Only what he gives me, and he gave me you”, that implies that Melisandre somehow possesses Jon now, as her tool to achieve the Lord of Light’s plan, which was to assemble Westeros in order to defeat the Armies of the Dead, making him the Prince who was Promised. That is why Jon mournfully looks at Melisandre riding off after later banishing her at Davos’ behest. Because by bringing him back to life, in some way, Melisandre became his new mother.

Jaehaerys II (in the books) and Cersei (in the show) claimed that every time a Targaryen is born the gods toss a coin if he will be mad or great. It assumes madness is somehow common genetic trait and they inherit it so often due to inbreding.

But in reality the only Targaryen who could be described as actually born mad is Aerion from all accounts. Aerys II was normal until Duskandale, Maegor was just str8up psychopath etc.

Actually level of inbreding seems irrelevant since Aerion is one of the least inbred Targaryens with Dayne mother and Martell grandmother. While Aegon III being severly inbred was one of the calmest of all Targaryens. Also its curious that this madness supposedly mostly affected late Targaryens- we don't hear any madness claims about Targaryens from Century of Blood, Aegon I, Jaeherys I etc. even tho you would assume that being closer on family tree to pre-Doom dragonlords would put them at greater risk.

That's all I have to say, do with it as you will

What I mean is if Robb did everything as he does in the books/show but doesn’t marry Talissa/Jeyne would it have actually changed the outcome.

Walder Frey is shown to be a cautious man and when he could tell that the war was shifting in favour of the Lannisters with the Karstarks abandoning Robb, losing Jamie, the iron born attacking and the formation of the Lannister/ Tyrell alliance. If Tywin or Roose still approached him with the idea of betrayal then he probably would still have agreed.
If he doesn’t have quibbles over killing his own guests and his king, and doesn’t care about Catlyn killing his wife/son then would it really make a difference that the king he’s killing is his son in law?
I can imagine that when Robb comes back to the Twins, Walder simply demands that he weds his daughter then and there at the twins in case anything would happen to him in the war and then the red wedding just happens as it did anyway.

Roose Bolton would still have betrayed him and Walder would have seen the tide turning against him, Robb breaking his oath was really just a convenient pretence that the Freys could use to justify they’re actions.

Edit: To clarify I don’t necessarily mean killing Robb but perhaps taking him captive like he did Edmure
