if arya's fate from the very start was to kill the night king as intended by the lord of light, i guess that's as good as explanation as any why the og ninja Jaqen H'ghar managed to end up in a prison wagon like a scrub

It was the Drowned God's will. Namaste.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

In season 3 or 4 where Melisandre met Arya Stark, Mel said when she looked into Arya's eyes she could see eyes staring back at her--"blue eyes, green eyes, undead general's eyes, eyes you'll close forever" and I took undead general to mean the night king

if the fat pie dude hadn’t told Arya that Sansa was still alive, she’d have already killed Cersei Lannister and probably wandered up north in time to kill night king anyway

Season 1 Episode 2:

The dagger is in the godswood and Theon pledges to fight for Bran and Luwin scoffs "is there going to be a fight in the godswood?"


Season 3 episode 6:

Mel to Arya: "There's a darkness in you. You will close many eyes forever. Brown, blue, and green. We will meet again."

This is also the episode where Beric's resurrection and unknown purpose is explained, as well as Gendry being told he will play a part in the rise and fall of kings.

----------------

So guess what, Cersei has green eyes and Arya and Gendry are gonna replace Cersei with a new king.

Mel predicted everything and the drat writers have been laughing about pulling a sneaky on us since season 1.

Mel also knew for a fact that Stannis was going to be king and burned his cute daughter alive in a pointless, futile sacrifice to the fire god.

the crazy boob lady tossed out random vague prophecies every time we saw her

e: it figures she’d show up to mischaracterize and gloat about one forgotten murky shitpost from seven years ago. The Prester Jane of the GOT world.

The thing is everything she's ever seen has happened. She's just been dumb in extrapolating "I saw this, so it DEFINITELY means this" when it came to people demanding answers.

I mean, she wasn't wrong that after she barbecued Shireen Baratheon that the weather warmed up and Winterfell was retaken.

e: by the king, no less

It's a good post it just needs to be timed during one of the "this show is bad" pages, not one of the nerdy lore discussion pages.

fakeaccount posted:

This sounds like pure BS, not to mention Arya is simultaneously taking assassin lessons from Jaqen in Essos while Melisandre is off loving things up in Westeros

e: she obviously knows stuff that she didn't physically witness so any "the Red Lady is also _____" theory is kind of dumb.

As the NK approaches a warged Bran, he hears movement from behind. He spins, hands at the ready. Movement catches his piercing blue eyes; it's a raven?
The bird appears to be dive bombing, a feeble last ditch effort by the 3ER to save himself. He opens his mouth to mock the pathetic gesture.
As his frost blue lips part, the raven suddenly rears, stopping suddenly. To late to notice, a small object is released from the bird's claws.
Theon's desiccated penis sails through the air, right into the NK's open mouth.

As the shriveled member banks of his lips into his open mouth, Bran's opaque eyes clear while a guy wrenching laugh bubbles out from his chest.

"HOLLLLY poo poo I WASN'T SURE IF THAT WAS GOING TO WORK HAHAHA!", he bellows as the NK panics and spits the organ to the snow. I HAD THAT FLOWN ALL THE WAY FROM THE IRON ISLES JUST FOR YOUR HAHAHA!

From all sides, gutteral laugher erupts. Even his own children, the walkers, are doubled over in bales of howling laughter.

Utterly owned, the NK scrambles to his undead mount to fly of never to be seen again.
And thus, it was revealed that Bran is the fabled Azor Ahai, wielding his fabled sword, though much smaller than everyone thought.

george, this is the ending you want

The reason the lord of light brought Jon back was most likely not only to unite the people but also to get Arya to come back to Winterfell. Remember originally she was headed for King's Landing until Hot Pie told her about Jon winning the Battle of the Bastards.

I'm torn on the episode. I liked some of it and I hated some of it. I feel like the story of the NK isn't quite done yet. I feel as though something is going to happen to Arya as a result of being the one who held the blade that killed him. Some kind of supernatural consequence. Which is why I also believe Bran made that look when he handed her the dagger on the previous season. Not only because he knew she would use it to kill the NK but also what would happen to her as a result. Who knows!
