There is no "Night King / leader of the Others" figure in the current book storyline like there was on the show. But one could emerge... and that one is Night's King Crowseye!

Hey man, I'm a big fan of your work, please keep it up. One area where I think you might be wrong is the origin of Euron's name. I'm pretty sure it is a reference to Euronymous. He is a listed demon from Anton LaVey's Satanic Bible, which refers to an older, obscure character from Greek mythology named Eurynomos. Pausanius writes in a description of a painting depicting the various denizens of Hades: "He is of a colour between blue and black, like that of meat flies; he is showing his teeth and is seated, and under him is spread a vulture’s skin." Pausanius states that Eurynomos' function is that he "eats off all the flesh of the corpses, leaving only their bones." Side note that I don't think GRRM is referencing, but the name "Euronymous" was also the stage name for the guitarist from the Norwegian black metal band Mayhem (probably also drawing from LaVey's Satanic Bible, as he was a professed Satanist), who used his friend and lead singer's post-suicide corpse for an album cover and was later murdered by a colleague from the same toxic scene. Because of the intense corpse association with this name, I am pretty sure that Euron is the corpse on the prow of the ship smiling that Dany sees in her House of the Undying vision. Anyway, this is a point I've been trying to spread around for a while, if you think it seems valid, please spread the good word. Either way, I look forward to your future content!

Hey Ryan! That's a great find, and seems quite apt - blue black, rotten and corrupt, eating the dead like a crow... checks out, as they say! Thing is, it doesn't conflict with the Europa idea at all, in fact Martin excels and finding things like this he can draw together. The Europa connection is undeniable; George literally wrote the moon to have Euron's face, and the idea of Europa as an ice moon is important too. However, since George is thinking about moon calamities bringing on a long night and apocalyptic figures who are compared to moons and suns and bring about celestial cataclysm... it's likely he figured out a clever way to weave the idea of an ice moon and this dastardly Euronymous fellow together, and presto, we have Euron. Definitely wish I had known before making the video, I would have included it. But I can talk about it next livestream, for sure! Hat tip coming sir, this is a really good find :)

@@rycolligan I wouldn't be so sure about the mythological Europa not being referenced. Consider: she's an eastern princess. She is abducted, taken west over the sea unwillingly on an animal's back, and raped ("seduced") by a deity in disguise. Zeus gives Europa three gifts: a magic weapon, a golem/robot warrior, and a magical hunting dog. We could retell this story with Dany trapped in the sky on an ensorcelled dragon's back, flying West to be raped by Euron. Substitute the Others or the wights for Talos, a mind-controlled dragon for the hunting dog, and a Lightbringer equivalent as the spear. Or invert the genders and you have "prince" Euron seduced by powers that seem primal, mindless, and animalistic. He thinks he's controlling them, "riding" them, but just as the bull is a disguise for Zeus, the magic he harnesses turns out to be bait set by the Great Other. Unlike Europa, Euron's rape is metaphorical. He loses his free will and identity, but loads up on supernatural gifts in compensation. Anyway, I love your catch about Eurynomos. Very cool and probably also relevant here. I just wouldn't set aside the Europa reference, either. Hell, I even think the pun of Euron and urine applies: a toxic disgusting mess of a guy with no redeeming qualities. As you say, GRRM happily loads up on overlapping symbolism when he can.

Alt Shift X also did a great video on how Euron might be a sort of failed student of Bloodraven. When he talks to Victarion about having a dream as a boy that he could fly, it sounds eerily similar to what Bran experienced. Maybe Bloodraven contacted Euron the same way initially seeing the magical potential in him, but realized how dangerous and unhinged he was. Consequently, this might’ve been the origin for Euron’s obsession with magic and godhood. There’d be a neat sense of Shakespearean tragedy to that, in that in attempting to stop the Long Night, Bloodraven unintentionally sets it in motion.

In the board game for "Game of Thrones" there are an insane amount of parallels for how events turn out between book and show. Every time the Wildling deck is player (a threat which grows in strength as time progresses), house must bid power tokens in order to beat them back. In the event they don't, all houses suffer. I am incredibly certain that the next book will have House Greyjoy creating an alliance with House Lannister. It is logistically a very intelligent move as it mutually benefits both parties the most in comparison to all other houses. And houses must forge alliances as a means of keeping their resources growing and/or residual. I don't know anything about a Night Queen, but this alliance is something I can put my money on.

Nice idea though, quaithe certainly does match some symbolism

Jasper Furniss thanks, tho quaithe doesn’t need to physically do anything to work with Euron, since he too likely has a glass candle. And was visited by the crow. And has shade of the evening. Why does she need to be his rock wife to fulfill a prophecy? And quaithe isn’t clearly doing anything. She’s been trying to get Dany to “wake the dragon” since book 1. That means literally bringing fire and blood to Westeros. She’s trying to convince Dany that diplomacy/asking yields starvation, plague and betrayal.

Jasper Furniss well if quaithe is working with Euron then she would be a nights queen figure, which doesn’t require a throne so much as it requires her to support the new “bloodstone emperor”. (Nights queen/shadow binder/shadow women). As for euron being the big bad, I feel that’s close but not the full truth. Euron seems to be the main tool of the other, hence his needing to make a son “worthy of him”. Similar to when Mel see’s Bran and BR in the flames, it’s “his” visage would be much worse. It’s heavily implied that their is something/someone who’s being served/fought against. The 3 eyed crow and BR don’t seem to be the same person. Doesn’t fit at all far as I’m concerned.

There was the idea, wasn't there, that the original Night's Queen is beneath the crypts of Winterfell, that she may be who the old Starks are guarding with their iron swords, that the guardian magic may have been disrupted by the first female Stark being entombed in the crypts (Lyanna), etc. So the vision of Euron's tall lady friend may be literally the original Night's Queen rather than any current character like Dany etc, or may be alive again through such a character just as Euron may be priming himself to be taken over by Azor Ahai. I'm sure you've probably covered this idea somewhere but thought I'd mention it.

@claire3614 3 жыл бұрын

Female Starks are always entombed on the crypts, as are the rest of the Starks, the only thing different about Lyanna was the sculpture. Those are traditionally only for kings/lords of winterfell, but Ned loved her too much and had to make a sculpture of her face to be able to see her face again. If you remember, one of the early chapters of the Stark kids has Bran (maybe Jon? I can’t tell for sure now) remembering a prank pulled by Rob and Jon at the cripts, the children went to visit their future tombs (including the girls'), and Jon appeared covered in flour and made Rickon cry, Aria kicks him for it. But anyway, every Stark meets his tomb on the crypts, male or female, the only difference with Lyanna was the sculpture!!!

@@christopherneil8702 My theory/ prediction In primordial time or the beginning were only two god's Rhllor and the Other.Rhllor was male and so later reflected three aspects of the 7 Father, Warrior and Smith, the Other is female reflecting 3 aspects of Mother ,Maid and Crone finally the Stranger unifies their eternal combat to the death as the personification of death. Both these god's hate each other and particularly the "sex' of the humans personifying that God.Azor Ahai is the reincarnation of Rhllor but in order to come to earth he only possesses the one who kill the most important woman in his life ,that is why the dark emperor did that as the first reincarnation of Azor Ahai. The female other not to be outdone chose one of the kings of the North to beguile and steal his soul so as to birth the abominations the undead white walkers. Rhllor the God of fire, under whose purview are dragons and dragonglass is the only one the Other's creations is vulnerable to. Notice the following clues Caster sacrifices his sons to be whitewalkers and there is never mention of female 'whytes' Also would explain why the private parts of eunuchs like Varus are used in black magic rituals. Now to the interesting part I feel in broad strokes GRRM did indeed give the Game of Thrones writers the ending he envisaged with Jon being Azor Ahai but the woman that he will kill to banish the Other back into the darkness will not be Daenarys but his own sister Arya! The clues are as follows , not only do I think Arya is on irredeemable path serving the god of death but a child of the Forrest in Storm of Swords was scared of her prophecying that Arya has either darkness about her and will be the bane of the world in the future. Also notice Araya in all her killings despite mentioning Cersei(not that the other really cares about women) has never to my knowledge killed a woman even though she serves the many faces god ,all her victims are male.I believe when she learns shadowbinding she will be possessed by the dark goddess the other, even though now it is likely the other is guiding Euron to destroy the world.The image of a dark female shadow next to Euron in the 'Forsaken' chapter is this very being.

“Opening too many doors” and “leaving the door open” have fantastic imagery. Common phrases that typically imply opening yourself up to enlightenment or future prosperity. However, leaving it open too long can or even opening the wrong door can lead to negative unintended consequences. This enlightenment and the externalities it generates is essentially Eurons ladder to power at whatever cost to his own sanity. We saw with Dany that drogon essentially serves as a safety valve while she gains her own enlightenment at the hotu. In that same light, how will a dragon serve euron’s goal? Does he need a safety valve to limit the shades let loose as he opens doors, a source of power to control these shades, or is there some other purpose? Great work as always brotha!

I def think the fact that there is such a distinction between crows and ravens as symbols is kind of a hint that the 3 eyed crow is pretending to be bloodraven. Probably Euron, the crow who opened his third eye. And I think bran, being schooled by both will take on a fusion of the names and become the three eyed raven.

Euron is one of my favorite villains. He is so cavalier about the horrific things he has done and plans to do. I read something that basically said no one alive thinks they are the villain. Our minds don’t let us. And I think euron embodies that.

@pyropulseIXXI 11 ай бұрын

That is so fucking stupid. Euron knows he is evil as shit; he literally admits it. They know right from wrong; they simply don't care. The notion that 'villains' think they are the good guys is such a childish notion, and the concept masquerades as 'deep conceptual story telling' when it is, in actuality, extremely childish. A child doesn't know right from wrong; a child thinks they may be doing good when, in fact, they are doing wrong. A villain thinking they are good is just a child. What I don't get is why modern adults think a villain thinking they are good is somehow compelling storytelling

If in the shade dream Euron gave the damper was something he controlled maybe since he’s never seen Dany this is his hopeful representation of what he thinks she might be like. Which is why we can’t make the connection 100% as how he hopes Dany will be as his evil bride. As if he has used a glass candle to spy on Dany we haven’t seen it. Yet..

Maybe Azor Ahai soul is trapped within these stones after his defeat and has tricked Euron into thinking using them would him a god, when in reality he plans to resurrect himself in the Crow eyes body?

I think you're right about the horn that Jon found at the Fist. I think it's an Other Binder just like Euron's Dragonbinder. That would make more sense to me than a horn that would literally crumble the wall, but we have seen plenty of horns as communication/binding tools. & maybe the Others have been capable of taking The Wall down all this time but have been waiting for a leader to sound the horn south of the barrier. Also the Fist has a similar magical barrier that even Ghost, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a parallel with sounding the horn outside the protected area

Idk if that make sense lol It wouldn't be as catastrophic as the first long night but the only way to do that is with another falling moon and idk how Martin can pull off a world with no moon ending lol (StormsEnd is a spaceship that Dany will illuminate with dragonfire to sacrifice herself as a new moon SHH DON'T GIVE THE SECRET ENDING AWAY!)

First off, as always, I thoroughly enjoyed your work here both in content and presentation but I have to say, on a tangent, that throughout both this video and part one, every time we got the art depicting Euron using the visage of Mads Mikkelsen I couldn't help think how great he would have been in portraying the character. Furthermore, the transition around 24:55 when you mention, "this Night's King snatches Euron's body idea," reminded me of his portrayal of Hannibal and how he at times appears as a demonic antler-headed figure in that show, which admittedly has nothing to do with the topic of the video but is kinda cool nonetheless.

Hey LmL, Scorpiax here. Another awesome video! More and more I watch your videos and reread the texts, more I understand that Night’s King and Queen figures are destined to be reborn in our story. Euron and Cersei are future poor imitations or pretenders to these figures. Dany needs to go through the death and rebirth process to transfrom from fiery to icy maiden, which you showcase perfectly in your videos. She is the true Night’s Queen parallel that will emerge by the end, just as I think Jon will as Night’s King. After her death in Westeros, in order to “touch the light”, Dany will have to “pass beneath the shadow”. Probably in Asshai after her resurrection in Volantis by Benerro and Red Priests. To go through underworld journey and uncover “the truth” Quaithe was talking about. That “truth” is key to her transformation from Queen Daenerys Stormborn, Breaker of Chains, Mother of Dragons, etc. into Night’s Queen character. She will have to go back to south of Westeros, probably Dorne, to confirm her identity (“to go north, you must journey south”), wherever that “house with the red door with lemon tree outside the window” is. Once confirmed, she will prepare for her journey north of the Wall, reunite with exiled Jon Snow, become his wife, a mother to his children and “khaleesi” to another nomad tribe of wildlings and live out her days away from games and politics, in harsher climate of icy terrains, but happy and content for the first time in her life. Iron Throne was never her goal in life, she thought the throne will give her that sense of belonging and security, but that is not it. Her ultimate happy story destination is beyond the Wall with Jon, Ghost and the wildlings.

@joshjordan7913 3 жыл бұрын

I really do love LML's analysis. This stuff has saved me during quarantine. I do wonder, though, if instead of a literal shower of moon meteors causing the long night, it's a metaphor for the Bloodstone Emperor using a blood sacrifice ritual to create the first dragons aka "lightbringer(s)". It is heavily suggested that dragons are an artificial, though still magical, creation. Perhaps this aspect of them is only being missattrubed to the Valyrian Freehold instead of the Great Empire of the Dawn. GRRM does use egg/moon metaphors throughout his work. And the sacrifice of Nissa Nissa/Amethyst Empresses to birth a dragon does parallel the deaths of the witch and Danny's family to hatch her dragon eggs. Only death can pay for life after all. Also, since GRRM has said the strange season's in ASOIAF have a magical cause, the introduction of so much fire magic into the world may have caused a natural and opposite reaction to counterbalance this new magical forced i.e. the Long Night. Or a third party may have actively sought out a source of cold magic to match the newly created dragons. Dragon Lords do tend to be the conquering types and, for example, the CotF have taken extreme magical actions when they fell threatened.

Agree. And if Euron is to be anOther (see what I did there) icy Azor Ahai, it becomes even more disturbing when we think back to her wandering the Dothraki Sea at the end of ADwD. Dany bleeds from her between her legs...she assumes it's her moon blood yet strangely cannot remember when her last one was...which sounds like someone who was pregnant and didn't know. The bleeding starts after a dream about Viserys and him melting away. She continues to cramp, bleed, and worry but never assumes a baby because ol Mirri has convinced her she cannot (pfff...that old witch is just made because Dany stole her fire protection). If she was impregnated with a shadow baby, then this would make perfect sense that she had only be pregnant a short time and not the 9 months. Could Daenerys have given birth to a shadow baby of both ice and fire? Oh dear god...
