re: Crackpot ASOIAF Theories SPOILERS

Haven't popped in here for a while so had to catch up. Strong work lately crackpotters


About 20 pages back there were a few posts talking about passages to pay close attention to on reread and someone mentioned "High Heart". I'm drawing a complete blank on that. What is High Heart???


Also, loved this part that OML pointed out as one of his most satisfying moments of the series so far. Great post:

Honestly, Janos Slynt's death is probably the most satisfying one yet. Just when you think Jon is about to puss out on the hanging by saying "This isn't right" he says "Edd, fetch me the block". The biggest frick yeah moment for me in the series. Slynt goes out like the spineless coward he really is and Stannis Baratheon gives Jon a fist pump.

I think I may despise Slynt more than Joffrey. Never met someone like Joffrey in my life, but I have met a few Janos Slynts in my day, which makes me despise him all the more.

Also, OML's post here about a possible epilogue to the series is top notch. Would even love to see a sequel series based around this:

Honestly, I could see Edmure's son growing up to be a very interesting character. Remember how haunted Rhaegar was by being conceived at the burning of Summerhall? Imagine how haunted a kid who was the product of the Red Wedding would be. If they do an epilogue that is years in the future, he's the person I'd most like to see.

Also, I found this very interesting from GIMP:

Crackpot theory is that Robb warged into Grey Wind, then into Raynald (his second life as explained during Varymyr Sixskins prologue chapter in DwD) after Grey Wind started getting attacked.

In Jaime's chapter, in FFC, where Edmure finally surrenders Riverrun he asked about what happened to Raynald. One of the Frey's tells Jamie that Raynald was really meek during the Red Wedding ("he gave up his sword without a fight") but as soon as they went after Grey Wing Raynald flipped out and started killing Frey's left and right. Then, after getting shot in the stomach and the shoulder he slipped into the Trident and no one has seen him since.

Not sure I buy that or understand what purpose it would serve. Robb's arc definitely seemed complete, but that passage is very interesting for sure and a is a good catch by GIMP.


Interesting question by ladytiger as well:

Here's another point I've been thinking about as well:
-Howland lives in Greywater Watch, so why didn't he raise Jon? Jon would've flown under the radar, and perhaps not had to be raised a bastard. Was Lyanna and Ned's promise two-fold, in that not only did she want Jon to be protected and his identity remain secret, but also that a Stark (Ned) must raise him as one of his own, alongside his cousins?
