Lord Tywin's Doom, the smallfolk called this ill-made creature, and Lord Tywin's Bane. Upon hearing of his birth, King Aerys infamously said, "The gods cannot abide such arrogance. They have plucked a fair flower from his hand and given him a monster in her place, to teach him some humility at last." |

I find this complaint to be a bit silly ![]() The Targaryens had been the ruling power in Westeros for nearly three hundred years - Jon Snow and Daenerys need not be the only relevant Targaryens in the final books. Quote:
For the sake of conversation I am discussing the sources as if they were true because, once we dismiss personal biases and preferences, the textual evidence does strongly suggest that they are - in the same way that nobody speaks of R+L=J as if it were a 50/50 proposition; the evidence is strong enough that we can safely say that we believe it was George's intent for us to think that. When you consider (this brief summary for brevity's sake): Tyrion's mismatched green and black eyes, Viserion is the smallest dragon but has creamy-golden skin, Tyrion's silver-blonde hair, the Mad King's history of sexual abuse and taking mistresses from the queen's court, Tywin's pathological hatred for Tyrion before he was even old enough to embarrass their family, 'All dwarves are bastards in their father's eyes,' Tyrion's dreams of dragons, his affinity for wildfire, Joanna being returned to the capital only a year before her death and 'You are not my son.' - there are just too many relevant sources for us to not treat this proposition as seriously as we would when we textually-criticize any other idea. "Did you know that my brother set the Blackwater Rush afire? Wildfire will burn on water. Aerys would have bathed in it if he'd dared. The Targaryens were all mad for fire." - ASOS, Jaime V Last edited by Shaman; 09-13-2017 at 01:05 AM.. |

![]() Oh, I agree with this. But as it happens, you are bringing in your personal biases as well when considering this true, as it easily might be a red herring. Martin himself has said that there are many fan theories which are wrong despite having a strong basis.

By and large the most common objection by the entire ASoIaF reader-base to has been that they simply wouldn't like it to be true - that they feel that detail would ruin their perception of Tywin and Tyrion's relationship - but that's just not an important objection. I've never seen a compelling challenge to the enormity of actual sources on this topic. |

![]() We literally have a book thread to avoid having black bars for phone users, and fuck you Shaman for making me agree with Marthen.

![]() So my theory is that the wall is made up of all the shattered bodies of the original white walkers from the war for the dawn

![]() Today I was given a few old candles from the prop department that were used in the Red Wedding. <3 I mean to only burn them on special occasions - like if the King in the North is ever visiting.
