It should have been! But that was actually a Bad Thread exclusive. It's just hard for an author to write when he's aroused and typing with one hand I think.

quote:Catylen couldn’t remember much of anything. She remembered that she had a brother, a sister somewhere in the vale, and most importantly, her children. But it was the small details that she couldn’t remember. She had forgotten the sister’s name and had to be reminded daily. She knew the Lannisters had her brother-for which they would pay-but she didn’t remember what he was like or even what he looked like. Her unusual revival had burn away a former part of who she was.

Classics like these were reviled by some of the noisier fart-huffers in CC, and that's the way I likes it.

due to aristocratic inbreeding, like everybody in westeros is a kinslayer of some sort like there's a bit where lord blackwood calls walder frey a kinslayer because blackwoods were killed at the red wedding, and one of frey's first wives was a blackwoods buddy that was like 15 wives ago clearly there's got to be some sort of de facto... expiration, on the kinslaying rule, after a certain number of degrees of separation, or nobody would be able to kill anybody

Do they really care if its irrational or ridiculous or everyone is a kinslayer by that definition? No, not really.

Non book reader question about the Freys. Why did they actually go through with the ceremonial Red Wedding rather than murdering everyone before the actual marriage with Edmure Tully? Did Walder Frey specifically want his daughter married to a "treacherous" captive?

My reading is that even though the Tully's are traitors, the Frey's claim on Riverrun is stronger with a Tully heir.

It's been years since I read it, but yes I think they do go through with the actual wedding part of the wedding in some capacity purely to get everyone relaxed and off guard and then murder the poo poo out of everyone while they're feasting. There's no indication beyond that if the ceremony was even legal because by this point it kind of doesn't even matter.

Ahh, thanks. I've mostly been keeping up with theringer.com's GoT articles leading up to season 8. Here's another question, did Jaime always know the 3 royal kids were his?

Yeah, Jaime knew the kids were his. In the books none of them know or at least accept that Jaime's their dad. On the show, the only one who figures it out/comes to terms with it is Myrcella, getting the chance to talk with Jaime on a father-daughter level once before she dies. Joffrey went to his grave denying the truth, while Tommen was to young and/or stupid to even know what sex is.

Edmure is held hostage and coerced into cooperating with the freys, allowing them to rule the riverlands (well try to at least) via the threat of murdering his son and only remaining family. The show got real lazy with feudal politics in the latter seasons. thatfatkid fucked around with this message at 00:53 on Apr 8, 2019 |

Conversely, making Edmure into a broken Stockholm syndrome failson who burns down the last vestige of House Tully for no reason and is left out in the lurch after Arya destroys House Frey because nobody's left to give a poo poo to even check on him was an even more perfect way to piss on his character than even what the books managed. Because Edmure deserves it. All of it.

https://blog.vrv.co/felker-martin/5402/the-innkeepers-daughter-rape-and-sexual-violence-in-game-of-thrones/ So that’s an article by a woman defending all the sexual violence in GoT. I kinda thought the online discourse had arrived at the conclusion that all the rape depicted was a bad thing that made the books and especially show trashy so it’s interesting to read the other sides take.

All I need to know is that there’s basically zero chance that GRRM doesn’t get aroused by his graphic depictions of sex and sexual violence so they’re all disgusting and terrible by default.

Ccs posted:https://blog.vrv.co/felker-martin/5402/the-innkeepers-daughter-rape-and-sexual-violence-in-game-of-thrones/ quote:What’s crushing about the culture of stern disapproval built up around Game of Thrones is that it’s one of the only shows on television making a meaningful inquiry into rape as both a traumatic experience and as a weapon deployed by society against women (and men). What looks like a parade of horrors at a cursory glance is in fact a rare depiction of the frequency with which rape occurs both in historical records of the Medieval period and in our own modern world. In fact, I’d argue that more depictions of rape would enrich the show as a work of art—that despite how far and how brutally it pushes the envelope, the show ultimately falls short of looking at sexual violence with the clarity, depth, horror, and sobriety of Martin’s books. I strongly agree however...

I guess we could have a discussion about whether a 13-year-old can give consent but that's very much a changing view of morality type of thing.

LMAO I just remembered that GRRM set up Shireen and everyone being terrified of her and there's a whole leper colony of stone men and there's this huge setup for a global pandemic and it just turns out Jorah gets it but gets better a week later and it's never mentioned again.

Before the show got so huge searching Sam Tarly on YouTube would usually get you the audiobook version of the Gilly sex scene. Can't find it now and I'm sad.pseudanonymous posted:It's not rape, she explicitly gives consent (at least in the books).

Steve2911 posted:To a guy who purchased her and could kill her on a whim if he didn't get his way. It's a weird, rapey scene but at least establishes Drogo as being 'different' than the other dothraki-- or at least someone who cares very loving much for such a beautiful possession. I've no doubt that if she said no he'd probably have hosed her anyway, or at least hosed her anyway the next night. iirc even in the books she recalls the following nights being painful and not nearly as nice as their wedding night. Changing it to outright rape in the show makes Drogo lose what teeeeeensy bit of maybe-humanity that makes it easier to imagine Dany falling for him later on. The show changing this scene bothered me but eh whatever it's not like it completely ruined what little character he has in the show. Changing the Jaime and Cersei scene to rape was a big LOL tho

It seems like this sort of thing could've been the foundation for an inquiry into things like the nature of consent and bodily autonomy, but GRRM is just "rape happened a lot" end of story.

It seems weird to complain about depictions of sexual assault in the book series where you have children being smashed on walls The horrors of war/war making monsters of everyone is a pretty consistent theme throughout the novels. The Dany scene was pretty hosed up but I think it's the only rape in the series that is portrayed as not explicitly horrific.
