There's a reason for all the Bolton flaying in the story: it's not only horror and cruelty, but also the key to ancient magic which enabled the Boltons to rival the Starks for thousands of years. I will explain to you here in this brand spankin new Bolton theory, and yes this has to do with the Faceless Men.

I love that we as a community have gotten to the point where "Bolt On" is a relatively well known and almost tame theory. I think that your expansion of it here fits with the in-universe lore and magic systems much better than the original theory. This is more than plausible and I think it's likely.

It is something about the original Reek, who was always smelling bad. Even his blood smelld bad. Roose says that Ramsey's blood is bad and tainted. "Tainted blood is ever treacherous, and Ramsay's nature was sly, greedy, and cruel. I count myself well rid of him. The trueborn sons my young wife has promised me would never have been safe while he lived." -Roose Bolton writing to Edmure Tully "His blood is bad. He needs to be leeched. The leeches suck away the bad blood, all the rage and pain. No man can think so full of anger. Ramsay, though ... his tainted blood would poison even leeches, I fear." -Roose Bolton to Theon Greyjoy Was the original Reek also a Bolton bastard? Is there something rotten in the Bolton blood? Would Roose stink like that if he was not leached? Will Ramsey start smelling as well? Was the original Reek wearing a dead man's skin already? Is that why he stank?

Reminds me of the Selkie myth. Selkies are seals that have magical skin. They are fully seals (not half human/half seal), but they shed their skin on land in order to dance on the shore in full human form. So human men will happen upon a seal skin and they will steal it, because without it, the woman cannot turn back into their true form, and therefore cannot return to the sea to live. The men steal their skin to keep them human. Imagine... The Boltons steal a Stark woman to marry, the Stark woman slips into her wolf and can bring her wolf around to help her escape. Furthermore, she could probably even bring a bunch of wolves around. After all, you don't hang a giant wolf pack on a wall only to not use it, right? Wink, wink. She's "finding her skin" when her wolf comes around. There is also a story in which her children find her magical seal skin and return it to her, so she can be free again. Her "children" could be her wolf and either their magical brethren, or even could include regular wolves. A regular wolf could easily be considered a dire wolf's child, especially if they are pack mates. So, the Boltons have to "steal the skin" (find and kill the animal) in order to keep their women from having their animals, or their "children" to come and help. For that matter, the wolves that come to rescue them could be their actual children. Their Stark children.

@DavidLightbringer 6 ай бұрын

I agree GRRM Is doing a lot with selkie and mermaid lore, specifically the older stuff you're referring to where capturing the skin is the way to imprison the mer-woman on land. Valkyries are actually swam maidens too and derive from this mythology, in part. George loves that kind of stuff

Just looked and there are actually a few posts on Reddit from 9 or 10 years ago which come to this conclusion based on "The Skin Trade" its an awesome theory, and probably 100% correct. Before knowing that George has used this technique before I figured it was likely true, but with the knowledge of "The Skin Trade" its definitely what the Boltons are doing. George loves to recycle ideas from his old stories (usually to great effect too).

Mhhm, i kind of think the torture thing is trying to make the skinchanger retreat into his animal of choice, freeing that person up for "posession" if you so will. Then its a waiting game, until the Skinchanger melts fully with his animal, loosing himself into it. Naming the animal afterwards of their human name, is just another form of torture, maybe even part of the source of their power. Maybe what you mean with "torturing magic" is just another way of sacrificing. Just instead children of the forest, its the magically gifted Skinchangers, using their own ability through a weird link of pain.

So, reading the books i always had it in my mind that the Boltons weren't vampires or anything but were jealous of the skinchanging wargs.

I agree with all praise for Lightbringer, though i must point out that the low hanging fruit have long since been snatched down and gobbled up, as it were. The seeds of those fruit have been shat out, and sprouted into new fruit trees of their own. Indeed, even THOSE trees have borne fruit, and THAT fruit has been harvested and consumed like so many slices of Frey pie. This winter has been long, LONG. L O N G. But hope remains as long as we can STILL find new and interesting theories and topics to discuss and analyze. I don't think we'll ever finish. And while new written words are very rare, we still learn valuable lessons from HoTD. Wait a minute. Where the fuck IS HotD? It's been YEARS. Wtf Don't they know? Don't they know we need more?

@jonhauge-evaldsson783 6 ай бұрын

There are some strange identity skinchanging going on with Ramsey. Roderik Cassel is hunting Ramsey for killing Lady Hornwood. Ramsey swops clothes with his servant, the original Reek. Reek is killed. Ramsey continues to play Reek. He is imprisoned in Winterfell until he is freed by Theon. He becomes Theons servant and advisor. "Reek" is finally sent to the Dreadfort, to get help. "Reek" then turns back into Ramsey Snow the Bastard of Bolton. He burns Winterfell and turns Theon into Reek. Ramsey then makes Theon, who now thinks of himself as Reek, play Theon to take back Moat Cailin. Theon is then Reek again, until he is playing Theon again at the wedding, and then Reek again, and finally, he gets his name back from Bran in the weirwood. What is this mindfuck sharade all about? Is it just an echo of the history or is Ramsey able to have some actual magic mind control over Theon? Or is it just extremely dark psychology? Or a bit of both? The Bolton reminds us of the Faceless Men, but just without any religion, rules, or assassination business, only sadism and power grabbing. Absolutely no moral restraints whatsoever. Roose can restrain himself, but only because he plays the long game and wants to keep up appearance.

@Quirkus23 6 ай бұрын

Great video. So I actually listened to the Skin Trade after this stream and there are a couple things I wanna mention. First there is a twisted father son dynamic in that story with an old money family of werewolves. The son doesn't have the gift and he is the one doing the skinning. In the climate scene, these characters are in the families old house in the forest where the son keeps the skins. There is a criclular room with mirrors on all the walls. He fights with one of the main characters and the blood gets on one of the mirrors. Things get weird, the moonlight makes the mirrors seem to shimmer like silver fog, and the seem like gates and there is a silvery shade within the mirrors, moving through them who is The Skinner. This sounds very much like a Weirwood Net type sequence when you listen to it and I think The Skinner would be like Great Other/Night's King inside looking to body snatch. Honestly with everything you said in the video and Bolt On in mind, I'm almost certain you're right about Jon getting body snatched by the Night King. The last bit of the book has the father give a speech that evokes the white wolf idea (can't remember specifically because it's been a minute.) If you can, I'd highly recommend checking out the last chunk of the book the whole thing is like 4 hours. Regardless I think it really backs up your ideas.

They did the Boltons dirty in the show by giving Ramsay too much screen time as the Big Bad, when I thought he was the least interesting of that family. He was just a garden variety sadist, albeit with more power than most. Roose is the really interesting one because he's intelligent and mysterious, as are the Boltons who went before him.
