In A Feast for Crows, in Brienne's 8th chapter, when Thoros is talking to Brienne in the weirwood cave he tells her "[...] I only know the road is dark. The fires have not shown me what lies at it's end." And Brienne thinks: "I know where it ends, I have seen the corpses in the trees".

Omg the Bernie impression is flawless 🤣🤣🤣

It’s so crazy how much information we get from Varymyr’s prologue. Weirdwood/Other relation, Azor Ahai-Nissa Nissa symbolism, Warg Laws, Warg afterlife. George spoiled us

Your Bobby B crypt adventures need to be part of the upcoming HBO multi series franchise.

Yaasssss!!! Oh my goodness Bernard Stark makes me so happy! Plus the Bobby B & Old Nan fest continues. I feel so spoilt 😁 xx

It’s interesting that Kat is “of the faith”, but she’s a very spiritual character overall. She can “feel” the weirwood watching and listening. She, also makes the charm to protect Bran which I believe is called a “god’s eye”. 🤔🤔🤔

"YEAAAAH! LET'S GOOO!!!! Gimme that good symbolism while I await my delivery of "Garth's Greens"

I've come to the conclusion after watching about 15 of your vids in a row, that you're my new favourite ASOIAF youtuber. Love your stuff brother! Keep it up

The waters of the God's Eye lake are often described as shimmering with golden or copper tones, which brings to mind the golden cat eyes of Children of the Forest, as well as the Lengi.

I love how the faces of the trees and the white walkers phase in and out of each other. A very cool effect.

The last time I was this early we were dreaming of a A Song Of Ice And Fire series

Come for the mythical symbolism, stay for the silliness!

lol. watching this from about 5 blocks from Bernie's office in Burlington VT.

“The others are as dead as the children of the forest.” Well, he’s not wrong.

Garth (Greenfield) got captured by Robb (King of Winter) in a whispering wood and imprisoned in a dead tree (Raventree Hall). He gets presumably freed from the Blackwoods when a golden Lion (Lion of Night?) shows up. I think George is telling us here something…

ASOIAF is my current ADHD hyper fixation. I just recently found your channel and have been binge watching all of your videos. Thank you for feeding my obsession.🤣

The lml cinematic universe gettin vast

Lol feel the Bern of the cold❄🔥

As a non-patron, I *humbly* submit the topic of a video that you brought up in a previous livestream (as well as promoted Melanie, Lot 7's video on the topic) and briefly touched on in this video: silence. Melanie's video was specifically on silenced women, especially the Silent Sisters, as well as ignored women, such as wetnurses and Old Nan. But I'd love a more thorough and overall dive into silence in this series, especially since I hadn't considered it before, but think on the silence of the Others, the weirwood faces that don't speak, Ghost, cutting out tongues (singers! oh my god, the singers! several threats upon Tyrion, Theon's squire {? wait, was he born mute? I don't remember}) Varys's silent walking, even. Again, this is a humble suggestion, absolutely not a demand, but I always love your insight

I love the new intros, loved the Bernard Stark bit, keep up the great work, i really like the optimism that you give your videos and streams, there's a lot of toxicity in the fandom and your videos a breath of fresh air every time you upload.

This is absolutely exceptional analysis, second only to the incredible worldbuilding by George

I can see Bernie's hand movements when he's talking 😂

Omg thank you for acknowledging things like snow vs Snow and white vs wight. It’s important. George takes so long to write because he’s crazy with using semantics to foreshadow and harken back to past, present, and future events

Only a Weirwoods roots movement can bring real change!

I love getting to these older videos I haven't seen, even though I've picked up most of it from newer streams/videos..this is the groundwork for all of the great theories!

I just started yet another re-read of the series, paying close attention to wording and symbolism this time. "Next had come King Robert himself, with Lady Stark on his arm. The king was a great disappointment to Jon. His father had talked of him often: the peerless Robert Baratheon, *demon of the Trident*, the fiercest warrior of the realm, a giant among princes. Jon saw only a fat man, red-faced under his beard, sweating through his silks. He walked like a man half in his cups." - Jon 1, aGoT I don't recall if you brought up this specific quote during the Bobby B stag man holly king videos, but it stood out to me. So, we have the horned green man who has become a demon. I'd say this quote ties into this idea of The Others coming from the trees, especially since the antlered men are tied to the Isle of Faces, the major Weirwood hotspot. Antlered demon tree men sure as shit works in my mind! The more videos of yours I watch, the deeper my appreciation for the series goes 💓 (and the more I laugh at Old Nan having a good long political talk with Bernie, both of them quoting Monty Python.)

HBO should hire David as a Song of Ice and Fire "Fantasy Consultant".

I'm suprised you didn't mention the last part of the quote: "You northmen brought these snows upon us", insisted Corliss Pennt. "You and your demon trees. R'hllor will save us". To me, this is almost George blatantly telling us that the northmen created the white walkers, and Rhlorr (azor ahai) will bring an end to them,

"Plunching into frozen lakes" Now I'm officially one of those people who knows how that actually feel. It's really cold here in Norway now, so I've been out skateing on the ice with my husky the last week, he absolutely loves it. But on thursday we went through the ice and into the ice cold water. It was a strange experience. The one second we were dry and warm on top of the ice and I remember thinking "hmm, the ice ahead doesn't look good, we should turn around", and the next second I was up to my chin in ice water, with the ice breaking around me and my poor husky falling in after me. I remembered what I've read about such situations and started to break my way through the ice back the way we had come from until the ice was strong enough, and then I tried to lay as flat in the water as I managed to and kinda swim-push-hump myself on to safe ice(kinda like a seal, lol). That is actually good advice if you go through the ice. Try not to panic if the ice keeps breaking around you when you're trying to get up. Keep as calm as you're able to and break yourself back the way you came from, and take small breaks to breath and gather strenght on the way. Both me and my husky are okay, thank the gods. He used me to climb out, the clever bastard, pushed my head under water and all, hehe. We skated and ran back home and spent the evening in front of the fireplace.

I like the idea that the patreon-plug skits with Robert and Old Nan etc. are gonna keep getting longer and longer until soon they'll comprise most of the video

Your jokes in this one are on point! 😂😂 I laughed so much I’m dead ☠️ see you in the crypts!

"As above, so below"

Smart of the Night's Watch to father no children when they're fighting child-stealers!

Had to leave a like just for the Bern. Love your content as always!

Oh my God I love you David lol Bernie!!!

Thank you for the continued content! Your hard work is sincerely appreciated! Looking forward to tomorrow’s livestream.

Robert in the crypts is probably the best crack fic I have ever seen and it keeps getting better

" I didn't know we 'ad a kind!" Great bit in Montey Python.

Always here for a monty python & the holy grail reference, youtube reccomendations knows me too well

Opening music 🎶 0:00 👈😏👆 It never gets old, I'd even call it rewind worthy. May this comment bring you algorithm power in plenty.🍀

just when i was about to praise Garth, hope the winds aren't that cold 🧞🌨️

The exact moment I switched my lamp off... oh well what's an extra half hour before sweet White Walker dreams 😊 xx

Beautiful work, as usual Sir Lightbringer 🤙all hail 🤴Garth 🍃🙏

You made me so happy today. I'm signing up to be a patron after payday, my dear Lucifer.

Fantastic video, LML! I love how all your previous material(i.e. green sea, green men, kingsguard) is informing where the white walkers are coming from. Really great stuff.

That Old Nan "Robeeeeeeeert" was straight out of the seven hells. Im literally crying in laguhter at that intro. Brilliant and convincing video!

This video essay is one of your best. I was watching one of your older videos before watching this one again, and it's amazing to see how you've honed and perfected your craft, especially your delivery.

I give this video 5 stars and 6 stars for the Bernie voice

The God's Eye is the big blue eye of MacUmber. It is known.

I love the opening and in between music you have, it gives me some hard nostalgia feels. Love your videos, you put together fascinating lore.

Loving the impressions, @Lucifermeanslightbringer !

Yes! I have been waiting for this!

Beautiful. You tied together many quotes that have stood out to me and I couldn't quite put it together. Perfection as usual. Thank you.

This was one hell of a fun video LML. Keep the good stuff coming!!!

Yes!! finally. This is one of my fav theories from you. I love this as much as the moon meteor theory. And you speak on that alot more and have wanted a proper video on white walkers weirwood video. I'm very excited to listen to this.

Just what I needed! An LML vid! And I'm early.. Lovin' the political references..keep them coming

I have to say, this theory makes a lot of sense and I could see it actually be confirmed in the books if they ever get written. Thanks for the awesome content, LML!

Thanks for allowing me to see the weirwood through the grove.

OK NGL That Cameo from Bernie and him strolling away w/old Nan after the Monty Python reference... RA! That was sublime.

very good it always amazing how you find so much material keep it up

In Chile is 22:00 hrs, what a perfect timing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Dope video. I feel like knowing the origin of the wall is the key to unlocking the mystery of the Others.

Great content. I'm all in on these theories.

All the work you have done for the series is so unique and eye opening. You have reveled many secrets and an overall understanding of ASOIAF, but I think more than that, you have discovered a way (Georges way rather) that each characters arc is laid out. And now that the story makes more sense we can guess at the many paths of the future ( when expectations are subverted it will be because their are so many options). Here's to your health!

Your stuff is amazing. So up my alley, right down to the bass licks.

King Bernie made me laugh so hard I had to jump back to get what he is saying! Yess, that's my KING (and Abby "Philosophy Tube" Thorn my ultimate Queen of Thorns!)!!

Despite what our guest said there at the end, he would've absolutely caved and towed Bran's party line lol

great vid dude, really good juxtaposition of the visuals to your commentary and each other

You brought it all together very nicely. Bernard Stark brought up some good points as well😂

love seeing each subscriber count bump!

LML almost got me to do a "one time" donate using Bernie tactics

Love you dog. Great work. Missed the show, but you know me, I still get it in

I watched this video a couple of weeks and so it was very recent in my memory when I came across something in ADWD that heavily alludes to this idea. In a Daenerys chapter, when she is speaking with Xaro Xhoan Daxos they are speaking of the cruelty with how the Unsullied are made and she says this: "this tree has been watered with blood," to which Xaro replies: "how else to grow a soldier?" How else indeed? After all the Weirwoods are known to drink blood. Just before this he compares the training of the Unsullied to the forging of a sword and how it is thrust into icy water to temper the steel, which corresponds to the other examples you lay out here of plunging into the cold place within the Weirwoods. You probably have already come across this on your own, but I just thought it was worth mentioning as it seems to be another piece of evidence that pertains to this theory.

Hi LML😎Thanks for the stream, it’s always super interesting, you’re doing a good job!👍👍👏🏻👏🏻😀🙋🏼‍♀️🇨🇦

Dude I so fricken can't wait to see your videos when Winds finally arrives!

LmL vid always makes my day brighter!!

One of your best yet! I have seen several people commenting that your videos keep getting better and better lately. And I must agree.

You really are getting good at this - it's another fantastic video. I've always wondered if the movement of the earth, sinking in some places & rising in others disturbed their underground rooty home

First...great intro and outro. 31 min in ya sold me on this. Excellent content. More mythology and branches of George's thinking need to be explored

This is my favorite of your videos so far!. Good job

I can't tell you how much I love LML's King Robert bits! ❤ They are always so funny! The breakdown of the symbolism make his videos very interesting, but his personality, jokes, impressions, innuendo and Monty Python references make them super fun, as well. "Reading Rhaegar" is another personal favorite!

Omg I love this channel so much. Love the opening on this one. I laughed so loud I woke my mom up 😂

"I am once again asking for your support..." Love it, mittens and all. XD

Amazing and intresting episode, my good lord

btw the way that promo was better than all of season 8

BERNIE!!!!! Omg your Bernie voice is soooo bloody spot on 🤣😂🤣❤️❤️❤️❤️ Omgosh it brings me SO MUCH JOY that your Twitter presence and your KZfaq videos just converged. I’ve said it to you a NUMBER of times but truly, you’re content is my among my VERY FAVOURITE on KZfaq and I was just catching up with some vids I’ve missed along the way. This completely made my week! I’m GreenNewDeal on Twitter 😆🌍👏👏👏🙌🌸🐝🌦

This intro always gets me pumped up!! Plus! Your birds are always so sweet to see!

Just became a patron! Thoroughly enjoyed this!!! Love your work!!!!

It's out!! Finally. Nice.

I like the idea that this is a resolution for the white walkers, that makes it an interesting theory indeed 😉

3:04 great skit. Love the mp reference

I wouldn't have enjoyed Elden Ring nearly as much if it weren't for all the same symbolism turning up. You've increased my delight at two wonderful things. Thank you!

Man we already know when trees talk they speak Vietnamese. Old joke is old. Great job as always LML. The Isle of Faces and the God's Eye, the way their presented on the map, end up getting me fixated on another island in a lake: the boot shaped island in the Bleeding Sea in Far East Essos. We'll never see it in universe but given all the parallels to people, places and things that Essos has to Westeros it makes me wonder.

First 3 minutes made me have to bend the knee from laughter xD Skål, LmL and everyone, from Tha Norf (Denmark) Praise Garth 🤘 💚

0:16 love the parrot

this was really good

CANT CONTAIN the Epicness!!! Stay up bro bro!!! Love ya BROTHER!!!

It begs the question though. If Azor Ahai and his greenseer successors (humans and Children of the Forest) are the new Hivemind, and the Others were the Green Men, then forcing them out and into Bran's body could create a being just as dangerous as the Others themselves. The Others might not care, but King Bran may be the greatest threat Westeros has ever seen.

"Wait! That's not Bernard Stark at all! It's... BERNIE SANDERS?!" "Yes! And I would've gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids!"

I wonder how Ghost would fit into all this. His colors, his silence.
