thanks Matt, I definitely know that there is a lot of occult and tarot ideas in ASOIAF...

@@DavidLightbringer Oh, even the most genius of ASOIAF analyzers are only beginning to scratch at the surface. GRRM knows more than you'd think, it may seem tinfoil at first, but soon you'll see that it's silver, amber, diamond and labradorite.

I have hopes....secret hopes.

Keep the hope alive lol

I'm hyped too. And I feel like I'm going to be hyped till I turn 90 when it comes out( I'm 25....)

That's an inter- *door squeaks open, stomp stomp stomp, door squeaks closed followed by door slamming* -esting point about Jon Snow Lmao I love the suffering on ur face with the door opening and closing. I feel so connected here haha

it's interesting bc it seemed as the books went on the longer it took him to release the next book

Exactly. Id rather get one amazing book every decade than a substandard book every year, these stories have gotten insanely detailed and articulated. I do expect dream of spring to take less time than WOW because itll be wrapping up stories, and POV characters are gonna get merked left right and center

My biggest wish is for him to grow old enough until he's done telling his stories.

@@irishpotatothief531The fear with this is that because of Martin's age he might not have the time to finish the series

Like Martin said him “im more of a fade wr when it comes to writing.” Martin takes his time. I’m thankful for that. Yes, I grow impatient. I’m sure we all do. However, I’m anxious to read martins depiction of Jon and dany’s ending. The ending of the show wasn’t satiable nor was it even a bit satisfying. So, I’m hopeful to see what Martin will do. I know his writing will be much better, and it’s worth the wait.

I come here to renew the offering to the algorithm gods

For the platform is cold and full of terror

Ah shit I meant to put that quote in there!!!

But if jon is resurrected he won't have blood flow will he? Pretty sure Baric has no blood flow, same with Lady Stoneheart.

His cock was cold as ice

​@@The.UsurperYou get an erection when you die due to rigormortis.

And if R+L=J (it does), he has dragon blood and can connect with them in ways other skin changers cant

And his skinchanging magic will be stronger (I think) post resurrection.

Literally everyone who has ever riden a dragon wargs with the dragon its the only thing that makes sense at all. They dragons always know exactly what their riders want to do without any sort of vocal command whatsoever. The times when the dragons are disobedient or fly their owner off to some random place the rider obviously wasn't able to warg with the dragon for whatever reason, maybe the dragon resists idk, or they were mentally unable to successfully warg at the time. I just don't think it makes sense at all for someone to ride a dragon in ASOIF without warging the dragon.

@@A_Black_Sheep94 I hear what you're saying, and it makes a lot of sense, but there appears to be a small yet significant difference between warging and the dragon bond. Wargs or skin changers, not only control their animals, they experience their animals thoughts and perspective, and can even take conscious control of their bodies. It's a two way psychic link. The dragon bond appears to be one way. While it's clear that the dragons can sense and be influenced by the intentions and emotions of their riders, I can't recall seeing evidence of the opposite, as we've seen with the Stark kids. However I could be wrong. The only dragon rider who's a pov character in the books is Daenerys, and I don't think she's fully bonded with Drogon, as he clearly isn't subject to her will. Maybe in TWOW when Daeny fully bonds with Drogon she'll experience a two way link more akin to that between the Stark kids and their wolves. But based on what we've seen so far, the dragon bond doesn't appear to be quite the same as warging, albeit clearly similar.

I appreciate it, thanks!

I highly doubt the Wights are sentient or contain a soul to be free. They're most likely robot like moved by magic.

aww thanks LemmieBee!! Glad you enjoyed it :)

I would think so, yeah. I hadn’t thought of that

Somehow I doubt it's achievable to completely fix how much the Dawn Empire and the Valayrians fucked the world. They'll probably defeat the others and save the world for a while but they'll be back eventually.

now that's a cool and creepy mental image!

That seems a little fucked up and macabre!

Lucifer means Lightbringer Dany has her White Lion fur, why not Jon lol 😅

Top o' the morning to ya :)

Soylent Purple, oh yeah, that Purple Drank baby. Thanks for all the support Matt :)

thanks, i remember it well! a lot of ideas floating around here

@@DavidLightbringer uhh YES lol. I was picking up what you were putting down.

Yeah we know that many people primarily read for the main plot, but yea it is my hope that watching my videos encourages people to go deeper into the story we already have

Wow, thank you! That's the best thing anyone can say :)

thank you!!

That’s assuming that The Others are NOT slaves themselves… they might be slaves tho… what’s more likely to me is that the wights are slaves, I’d say that much is certain, they’re clearly not enjoying themselves and just like slaves they seem to have no agency and are doomed to never rest. Just like all the slaves that she’s freed thru her story it’s going to be essential for her to release them from bondage. I’d actually argue that the house of the undying is a prison for for the shadow bound souls of the others, they’ve waited 1000 years for her… because they know she was the only one who could free them… by destroying them or their prison. Had they been left then they’d still be trapped there after the wall goes down and their physical form is destroy… their soul would still be trapped and used as a power source for evil .

Nah Dany has shown bits and pieces of madness from the start of the series. I doubt it'll be like in the show but the road to hell is paved with good intentions and I'm pretty sure Danys on that road.

I tend to think so, but I don't know what it is. What I do think is that that weirwood organism is so unique and magical that it seems likely that the Nightfort was built around the weirwood, and possible even the Wall too.

@@DavidLightbringer Hm, predating the wall doesn't make much sense to me. Being planted/ created at the same time as the wall, maybe even as the magical link or source of magical protection that the wall provides I think would be more likely. Thanks for the content, gets the brain juices flowing.

@@DavidLightbringer this just hit me, with all the targ beast babies and momma deaths, blood magic and "blood of the dragon" speak, could the story of Nissa Nissa in reality be a childbirth? She died in the birthing bed giving birth to.... bear with me on this...a dragon? Puts a new spin on her willfully bearing her breast Haha.

The first dragon bursting from Nissa Nissa's chest like an Alien! I like that! Like the second moon cracking. In any case, the sex and childbirth metaphors are there in the Azor Ahai myth for sure!

@@Sinfjotli22 watch LML's "Dracomorph" vid I also think the N.N myth is hinting at childbirth.. "agony and ecstasy"

Well, that's why I started doing the shorter, produced videos, and those have been very successful, both on their own and in terms of directing people to the longer episodes. It's only take a downturn about 3 weeks ago.

Emoji storm!!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Remember, Lyanna was "half a horse, herself."

@@Ash.Crow.Goddess 🤯

Interesting! I have to assume that helps, yeah :)

My thinking is that the Others might be able to "go back into the trees" after the greenseer mind is gone.

Thanks Cooper!
