WILL AMOUNT TO NOTHING IN LIFE.



In a Melisandre chapter she notes that her bed hasn't seen much use since Stannis left Castle Black.

Stannis used to bang Selyse, probably every month, but he did it out of a sense of duty and not because he was attracted to her, this is explicitly stated in the books though I can't find the quote.

He was obviously attracted to Mel though.

I assumed that he was performing conjugal duties with Selyse and nothing more, because she is canonically very unattractive. It was obviously a political marriage.

I was very surprised to see Melisandre thinking that she hasn't had sex with Stannis for a while, because I just couldn't see him doing that. Stannis has a stick up his rear end the size of the Great Pyramid in Mereen.

Weren't the numerous miscarriages a thing in the books too? Even if they didn't go so far as to have a creepy rear end pickled sons room.

Benjen taking the black was probably some kind of grand scheme to help protect the secret of Jon's parentage in some roundabout way.

Benjen took the black because he figured there would be hella dude on dude gangbangs at the wall.

Can you blame him? Benjen took one look at Westeros and gave it a big "no thank you" -- nothing but watered down beer, cheap flea bottom floozies and chasing around emaciated wildlings for the rest of his days! A fella can do worse.

They wish they got flea bottom floozies but they're stuck with mole's town, which is like, a dozen buildings or something. I'm sure the prostitutes are the only unmarried folks there and they aren't getting any younger.

It's still stupid to only have one or two sons when you can afford more (hell, royal families and pseudo-royals like the Kennedys still like to have spare heirs to this day), but not quite as absurd as it would have been in the real Middle Ages.

Limiting children is a luxury of birth control. Aside from a pretty sketchy Tansy Tea, do they even have birth control?

I don't recall any other brothers getting to ride to their ancestral homes for feasts and royal visits.

He could have been out recruiting, or some other official business. But most likely it was just a plot device and completely overlooked, never to be spoken of again - much like Tyrion doing backflips and poo poo.

I think he was down there as a representative of the watch because the King was there. Which makes sense.

Listening to AFFC (fourth readthrough gosh, I'm a weirdo) and goddamn does Arianne suck.

The chapters being twice as long and half as exciting really grinds the pace of AFFC down to a crawl. The gurm is a mad man.

Oh I meant, every chapter is twice as long and half as eventful, but Arianne's chapters are seriously the worst.
