Dracarys20 says, Hi Sia! How are you doing? Its been a long time :)
Well, hello! It -has- been a long time, because I have not been on this site much and only stop in nowadays to keep track of my anime. It's great to hear from you. I see you have comments from other folks I know. It's really great to see you keeping in touch.
So how the heck have you been? Since I'm not involving myself with this site anymore, I've been gaming with a lot of my free time. I only tend to focus on one or two games at a time, though. I'm not a consumate gamer. I haven't watched as much anime, since I was so hurt by dropping my commitment to this site. Anime still hurts a bit. *sad grin* Still, it is something I like and I won't be dropping it out of my life...
I've also been working a lot. I have a different job now, and it has unusual scheduling, so I've been busy with that a lot.
I see you've changed your header pic to All Might since the last time I talked to you. (It may not be a new change, but I haven't been here in a while, remember?) I approve. I love My Hero Academia.
Hey! Hmm. I've heard the theory that Bran might be the three-eyed raven before, but I don't give it any credit. You see, we, the book readers, know better than you! xP I'm just kidding with you! xD
The book series and the tv show are two separate things, even if the former inspired the later. More than that, actually. Much persuasion was required from the tv show creators to be given license to use the novels material. One condition was that the author, GRRM himself, be allowed to take part in the creation process of the tv series, as a writer, as well as in direction/production, and for a time that colaboration was sucessful. Somewhere along the line, though, something happened that drove them apart, and the two parts became more distant, and the tv show presented some facts different from the original story. It's an assumption on my part, but I believe that the problem resides in the fact that GRRM is constantly stalling the release of the final books, as he wanted more time to proper write them, but ofc the tv show didn't want any of that. There's profit to made, and GoT became a global phenomenon; its absence from the screen for a prolongued period would provoque riots across the world! xDD And so the series proceeded with some major differences and entered in unknown territory when it surpassed the current time period of the novels.
Now about the three-eyed raven: In the novels he is called the three-eyed crow, and when Bran meets him, he tells him he was once called Brynden. It is assumed he is Brynden Rivers, aka Bloodraven. So they are two different individuals in the novels. I doubt it would be different in the tv show, as it has preserved the most important stuff until now. I would suggest you to watch this great video that explains this in more detail: Bloodraven: what’s the three-eyed raven’s secret plan?
About the "you will fly" part: Bran already flew as several crows/ravens/birds, but I also want him to warg into a mighty dragon! I don't know if it will be the zombie dragon, though, as I suspect that the Night King has the power to manipulate that dragon. But who knows? For a long time, ever since I read that "the dragon has three heads" I always thought that my favorite three characters from the books would end up riding three dragons; one each. I was imagining Dany riding Drogon, Jon riding Rhaegal, and Tyrion riding Viserion. Yes, Tyrion... When he finally joined Dany's side I thought: "Yes, I was right all along!" But if the novels will also go in this direction (Viserion is still alive and well there) I guess I was wrong after all.
This last thought conveniently brings us to your last point: Cercei (not really :p). For a long time I suspected Jon actually being Ned's nephew , Lyanna's son, just like they showed last season in the tv show, even if that didn't happen yet in the novels. But I also suspected something similar about Tyrion: That he isn't a Lannister at all. That's right, I suspected him being a Targaryen, as well. Tyrion, Jamie, and Cercei's mother, Joanna, lived in King's Landing for a time, and there were rumours that she was the King's paramour (fancy word for lover). And even during her marriage with Lord Tywin (who was the Hand of the King), King Aerys (soon to be Rhaegar, Viserys, and Dany's father) remarked that it was a pity the "first night" tradition was banned, and that he took certain "unwonted liberties" with Joanna in the bedding ritual when the men at the feast had to disrobe the bride. So, I believe that Tyrion is actually not only half-brother to Jaime and Cersei, but also to Rhaegar, Viserys and Dany, and thus, "the dragon has three heads", from the profecy, meaning Jon, Tyrion, and Dany. And that's why I think Jamie is the Valonqar, because he is her "true" brother, and because he killed Aerys, making him a kingslayer, and soon to be kinslayer as well. Btw, I also think Aerys became mad because of Bran's doings, much like what he did to Hodor, and it would be cool to see this in the tv series in a similar fashion as to what they did with the Tower of Joy scene.
About Arya and Cersei: Another thing that many people expect is for Arya to end up killing Cercei. Because of all the hatred that she has towards her, and making her a highlight of her list, and all, it would make sense. But I'm with you on that. Maybe she will have her revenge in other way, if at all, because I think it will be Jaime who will kill Cercei in the end.
Sorry about the very long comment, but you ask many questions and I believe you deserve my sincere answers. x)
Yes, I saw that teaser! Pretty ominous, indeed. But it's just bluff; no way something bad would happen to all the Starks that are left, right? RIGHT? ^^' Well, there is still Bran, and I like your theory, as I have one that is very similar. [SPOILER]What if Bran is all the Brandon Stark individuals throughout hystory[/SPOILER] Haha! Pretty mindblowing, no? ^^
About Dany's fate and the Iron Throne: I have similar suspicions myself, but I'm still hoping she will somehow make it. It would be pretty ironic that she was able to handle all that happened to her, conquer everything that she has conquered, and having the possibility to achieve the remainig thing that she aspires, and so close within reach, only to fail in the end.
Truth be told, turns out Jon has a bigger claim to the throne than she has, as he is Rhaeger's son, and so, the one with the right of succession. If (and this may be a big IF) both survive and carry on with their relation, making it official and joining houses, they could remain silent about being related (I wonder if they could be kept ignorant of this fact) and so they could both rule together. But this seems oddly like a happy ending scenario. Could Game of Thrones really end this way? I'm so freaking excited to know what happens! ><
Helloooo~! How are you? I'm replying much sooner now xD
Hahahah xD Incest, or as some may put it, wincest xD
True, Jon is starting a relation with her aunt, even if she is slightly younger than him. It's still not as bad as Cersei and Jamie's, tho xD You need to remember that they belong in a different world, one where incest is more like tradition than anything else. For some noble families, like Targaryan, it was even mandatory for most of the time, as that would keep their bloodline pure and able to carry their special traits like the one dany has of being very tolerant to fire. And even in our own world incest was overtly practiced and tolerated by society in some periods and/or regions.
But, anyway, Jon and Dany are oblivious of that fact, and even if it kinda looks like fan service, which probably is, I think the author, GRRM, might have had the same objective in his sights. The series overturned the books already, so this is only speculation on my part, but since the beggining I thought about the story culminating in them ending up together. You see, the name of the books is A song of Ice and Fire, which seems to suggest that the story is really a tale about Jon (Ice) and Dany (Fire), and I have a feeling it was probably written by Sam xD Unfortunetely, I fear the ending will not be a "and they lived happily ever after" type. Like Ramsey Bolton said: If you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention" Dx Oh well, whatever it is, we will soon find out what it is. ^^'
