AtAt-de-fay posted:I whipped it out, yet I'm still distressingly dry in my nethers. I didn't see anything in my spam, hmm. Not a lot of porn chapters left, but hell, throw it in wherever you want (this is a good example of innuendo right here). "16. Ardi Ardi awakens in the back of a wagon. The two men up front are exchanging food recipes, when she calls out to them. They let her know after some banter that they're taking her to Harkansaw, the place known as “hell on earth”. She she's Genden bound and gagged in the back as well. She ungags him and wakes him up, informing them of their plight. Ardi daydreams up a plan of escape, but then they cross through the gates of Harkansaw, and are thrown from the wagon to be sorted by the Lincolnshire men that hold the castle. Ardi and Genden are seperated, with Ardi being sent to work for the lord of the castle, a cruel man of ill repute." Feel free to ignore the plot for dumb poo poo, it's what Arbite has done.

Sensa [SEX] (OPEN) Sensa and Joffrey engage in food-based sex, but are interrupted by the Pound. Pigeons from the other 4 corners of Directionos have been coming in to report that each noble family has broken off to reclaim their ancient lands as their own. Orion Martin and his lover Darksun lead Darne in the name of group sex. Brendan Strike of the North and his wombman lover Miri decree inter-humanoid-species sex superior. Thelonious and Yarasha Gayjoy are raising an army of FemDoms from the Bronze Islands. And Demtitties Turduckyen and her Otherkin from across the Wide Sea mean to lead their dragons and army for the glory of Anthro. This outrages Jeffrey, as food sex is the one true kink of Directionos, and he is their King! He rushes out to call the small council, and Sensa and the Pound continue the food sex, as is the way of Emperor's Crossing." SaviourX fucked around with this message at 07:49 on Feb 10, 2014 |

Syscall, you're still marked down for this: "25. Thelonius[SEX] The sun is shining and everything is beautiful for Thelonius, as he feels really good about everything. But Yarasha spoils his exquisite grrmy breakfast by telling him she's heard rumors of him violating the laws of the Bronze Islands by taking a woman as his submissive. They argue, and Yarasha goes before the crew and calls out Thelonius for his crimes. At the end, she offers the ultimatum of remaining with her, a true Bronze Islander, or following Thelonius, a fraud, to take Autumnfall. In the end, less than a dozen remain with Thelonius as they watch the sails of their once massive fleet shrink on the horizon. But now, as captain of his own tiny, insignificant ship, he can show his crew that BDSM can go both ways."

I wonder how the show is going to portray "Only cat", I loved that chapter so loving much.  So cold, so many new information given, it'll be a scene that has the potential to overcome the red wedding.

It's no where near on the scale of the Red Wedding. He's going to probably just shove her out of the big hole in the floor from season one and that'll be that.

So, Daenerys storyline is already on DwD? With her trying to rule over the city of unpronounceable names? Perhaps I'm wrong, but the best parts from Storm of Sword's second half were far from Daenerys anyway, so I guess it doesn't even matter. Unless making GBS threads is involved.

"It's not building towards... one... climactic event..." Truer words were never spoken. Watching that trailer reminds me of reading Prince of Nothing... Cnaiur in the depths of his madness shouting "They make us love!". I hate myself for wanting to see it. whowhatwhere posted:You can't just tease us like that, share some of the theories. I seriously wish I remembered them. We've been talking about the books for so many years now - when she'd go on about the crazy theories my mind would wander. Like dumbledore being gay, I was like "stfu, whatever". Kavak posted:Are you my sister or my doppelganger? You just described my own mother, who was absolutely convinced whatsherface and her boyfriend were going to get mixed up in the early Nazi movement. I had to hold my tongue because (Downton Abbey spoilers for anyone here who cares) Gregson (The journalist) goes to Germany and just disappears- it's implied that he's been murdered by Brownshirts. Has she seen this season yet ? I get confused on the timing because I watched the UK releases. Is that spoiler from ones already shown in the US?

syscall girl posted:"Oberyn Martell is the one wildcard." My buddy at work watched the preview for season 4 and was excited to see Oberyn. He has never read the books but avidly watches the show (And doesn't call Dany Khaleesi). When we were talking about it at lunch today he said "ok this Oberyn guy looks pretty cool and..." Long pause "he's going to die isn't he?" I didn't want to spoil it so I just shrugged and showed indifference. "I'll take that as a yes  " he replied. You can't pull a fast one on astute show watchers, Georgie. It was then that I realized at about this point in the book was where I felt the biggest disconnect. I stopped caring for any new (boring) characters because I had little faith any cool ones would live through a novel. I think at this point I cared about The Hound, Sansa, Jaime, Davos, Stannis and (I am ashamed to admit but until AFFC) Brienne . Oh yeah and good old Barry Stan. And Iain Glen. Well it will only go downhill from here. Let's hope D&D can interject some interesting story into this.

So anyways the lead up to Chokefrey's Wedding has got me remembering a few things, and everyone says it was Petyr that did it, but I swore it was always Olenna, since she's all like 'here's a hairnet with some gems in it, wear it.'

Pretty sure it's implied Petyr struck up a deal with Olenna when he went to Highgarden to secure the marriage contract--Olenna burns at least one Sansa chapter trying to get info out of her about how horrible Joffrey is while Petyr fucks off to... wherever so he's got some plausible deniability and the blame falls on Tyrion (who, thanks to the entertainers Penny and Grolo that Petyr hired for the feast, is already pissed at Joffrey and made sure to let everyone know it.) I really like how Petyr's MO is just "gently caress everything up for everyone, gently caress those guys" God, he's gonna die in just the stupidest way possible, isn't he?

Or, Littlefinger knew that Joff was going to be poisoned somehow. He arranged the dwarf jousters (as per Penny) to bring Joffrey to Tyrion, got Dontos to smuggle Sansa out, and then made Sansa so aware of how guilty she looks that she would never think to leave him?

Except the hairnet was a gift from Dontos (right? I thought that was how Sansa's Clash storyline ended) and Dontos' patron was definitely Petyr.

HaitianDivorce posted:Except the hairnet was a gift from Dontos (right? I thought that was how Sansa's Clash storyline ended) and Dontos' patron was definitely Petyr. I say Littlefinger contacted Oberyn to set up the poisoning. Think about it, Oberyn in Dorne, which is as close to Highgarden as you can get, where Petyr went to broker the marriage. Petyr sends a raven or a messenger to Oberyn telling him to expect his revenge. Subsequently, Oberyn gets invited to the wedding and decides to take out as many Lannister players as possible. He poisons Joffrey and Tywin (maybe). People keep pointing out that Margaery might have drank from the cup by accident if it had been poisoned by a Tyrell, but if Oberyn did it, why would he care? They are ancestral enemies. Only Littlefinger knows Oberyn's intentions. LF's long awaited plan to get Sansa out is set in motion, and he sets up the hairnet and the jousting dwarfs, which are sure to rile up Tyrion and Joffrey. Then he kills Dontos to tie up loose ends and makes Sansa as aware as possible of her apparent guilt so she will never leave him.

Kafka Esq. posted:The hairnet was given to Dontos by someone, obviously Petyr. So then why write about Olenna weaseling info out of Sansa, or adjusting her hairnet on Joffrey's wedding day? Though Olenna and Oberyn both have a motive, Olenna has an opportunity and a much clearer means--it'd be kinda weird to write in the hairnet and then have Oberyn procure the same poison from some other source, wouldn't it?

I don't have a good answer. I doubt the gurm has one either. I just think that Oberyn's malevolence to everything Lannister, plus his penchant for poison, makes more sense than possibly poisoning their own star daughter in an attempt to take out Joffrey. edit: also, remember the story they told about red scorpions falling from the bed canopy onto a Tyrell? Joffrey got a red scorpion brooch from Oberyn. Kafka Esq. fucked around with this message at 01:49 on Feb 11, 2014 |

Kafka Esq. posted:Well, the first is easy. Tyrell women protect their own - they live in packs. The latter is a little harder to explain, though why bother smuggling in a poison in a gem? Is there really no place you could do that easier in your robes that doesn't require molesting someone else? The fact that it happens sounds like Littlefinger's madlibbing on the spot to make Sansa as insecure about her safety as possible. Mmmm, is Oberyn really malevolent to everything Lannister? He has no issue sticking up for Tyrion when it gives him a chance to strike at Tywin and Gregor. I mean, obviously it's a thing of opportunity, but he never really betrays any loathing for the guy--he even invites Tyrion down to Dorne, probably to put a Lannister on their side when he and Doran bring Dany across the sea. And maybe that's just a ploy to feed him to one of her dragons and further put the Martells on Dany's good side--I guess that's a question we'll see resolved It does make sense that Oberyn wouldn't care about Margaery but it's not like Olenna couldn't tell her granddaughter "Yo I'm gonna off Joffrey so don't drink the wine." No, I don't remember Oberyn's gift. I can imagine Oberyn doing something about the little shithead on the Iron Throne, especially before a Tyrell child gets put on the Throne, but it makes more sense for it to be Olenna with what we're shown and told.

Why not kill Joffrey after Margaery squirts out a kid? Why throw the whole thing into chaos and hope they do the same deal with Tommen? I'm pretty sure Margaery would be Queen Regent. Is 9 months really so long to wait? edit: not to mention the above scenario is more and more unlikely with a kid that doesn't have pubes. edit the 2nd: also, maybe Tyrion doesn't get his ire. The two people killed are Tywin, Joffrey and Gregor Clegane. The three people most likely to be targets. Maybe Oberyn was trying to be judicious with his killing.

Why are you now suggesting Oberyn do something literally counter to your original argument? Edit: nevermind I'm an idiot and can't understand who you're obviously referring to!  Best guess is because nine months is a really long time for someone to wait while their granddaughter is being abused in addition to issues of suspicion being cast on someone (like Margaery) having the most to gain from having her husband unceremoniously murdered the moment when Joffrey's no longer needed.

It gives them plausible deniability, they can start taking over earlier while carefully grooming Tommen so they can control him, and Margaery doesn't have to spend years being abused by Joffrey (Because it'd be a bit suspicious if Joffrey died the instant Margaery gives birth).

I mean, probably yes, but he's just so perfectly set up to die in a way that proves a point that I have a hard time believing he could gently caress up *that* badly. I mean, we have three characters who are big into intrigue--Littlefinger, Varys, and Tyrion, and I can't really see a way for the first two to survive. If I had to guess, it's probably something along the lines of Varys being killed by someone who just straight-up wants him dead and doesn't gently caress around with intrigue to get it done, and Littlefinger gets caught out by Sansa at some point.

I always thought Margaery was the one who poisoned Joffrey, and Olenna transferred the poison to her. It makes more sense than Olenna because Margaery would both have an easier time slipping it into the wine and also judging the right time to poison him.
