A lotta bad things happen to Tyrion after the kinslaying, kinda how bad things happen to the Freys after the bout of guestright breaking or the other kings after leech mania

In the released winds chapter Euron goes on a big rant about how all Gods and societal norms are bogus and his evidence is that he's murdered three of his brothers, two when they were only babies and one playing the axe throwing game

Book Euron is pretty crazy but he doesn't seemed cursed

Asking again, how much of the woiaf content actually comes from grrm vs the wiki minifuckers?

Everything in there was at least explicitly okayed by Martin, if not written by him. It's 'canon'. If we see Highgarden or Casterly Rock in the books, they will be like the woiaf descriptions

Book Theon is the age of Robb, about 13/14.

The miller's kids are the ages of Bran and Rickon, about 5 and 9.

Theon wasn't banging the miller's wife at 3 or 4.

I'm pretty sure it's Jon that's the same age as Robb, Theon is several years older. I think he's 18 at the start of the series?

That would still put him at 8 when the oldest kid was conceived.

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

I'd bet that this is setting Euron up to get karma'd later. Now only to wait 20 more years to see if I'm right!

the Theon=Kinslayer theory goes that only the younger kid was his

him fathering the younger kid at the age of like 15 is perfectly doable

Theon thinks about how he was banging the woman around the same time the kids were born. That’s the extent of the connection.

There's a bit shortly after Theon gets Reek'd where he's lamenting killing the miller's kids and how the miller was so old and what a good time he had boning the miller's wife which to me was an obvious signal that they were his and he didn't know it
This was a little bit after the concept of kinslaying was introduced if I recall correctly

yea iirc theon goes “too bad i killed those 7 & 5 year olds.....man their mom was so hot when i banged her 7 & 5 years ago” which is pretty lol

“I had read the first five books and I was just tired of waiting,” King said. “So, I was in between projects on a rainy day and just spit out about 400,000 words before dinner. I was really just dicking around, but before I knew it, I had resolved the whole Meereenese Knot. I didn’t publish it or anything, because I wanted to give George a shot, but it’s actually pretty simple

King’s wife, Tabitha King, was reportedly the only one to have read any of the transcript before he casually tossed it into the fireplace.

By fan service did you mean adapting all the points from the original books? Cuz that's what they did. It's dope.

I tried to read the first Witcher book and it was easily the worst book I have ever attempted to read. It was like reading a teenager’s attempt at writing a video game plot.

All sorcerers and sorceresses have weird sexual hang ups in that world, it’s consistent and explored at least?
