re: Crackpot ASOIAF Theories SPOILERS

I want to know this too and why they're going to tease this info without telling anyone. I doubt it's as big as R+L=J. Perhaps it's the Hound=Gravedigger theory that was confirmed??

I'm guessing it's a crackpot theory although some on asoiaf are thinking maybe it means tWoW will be released soon.
I know the creators of westeros work with GRRM so I assume they found out a theory was right and not when the next book will be released

Does anyone have a .pdf version of The Princess and the Queen.
I'm coming up zeros on Google.

My thoughts are the same as yours. Either it's a theory or that TWoW will be out in 2015. I'm annoyed they won't share it

Oh, I definitely think Sansa is going to start warging birds and possibly the Falcon (the sigil of House Arryn). The clues are there, no doubt. Plus there's some major crackpot theories out there about how she can mind read Sandor and Sweetrobin. During Blackwater how she came to remember the "Unkiss", that she was possibly mindreading the Hound (not warging per se, but kind of in touch with his emotions and what was on his mind). And how she was able to get Sweetrobin down the mountain safely and was able to calm him down; could've been another case of Sansa being 'in tune' with his emotions/connecting with him on an emotional sort of level.

sweetrobin needs to be next out the moon door, maybe sansa can warg him into doing that

I hate Sweetrobin too, but I think he'll die by too many pinches of Sweetsleep and Littlefinger will probably blame Maester Coleman for it.
So what do y'all think these TEASES at Westeros.org mean? "Logistic detail in a long-held theory that is confirmed"

You're killing us. Is it a very popular theory?
It's a logistical detail connected to a popular theory.
will this logistical detail be revealed, perhaps?
In The World of Ice and Fire, yes.

On my rewatch of the series. Just finished the Pilot, on Episode 2 now. Pilot is absolute perfection.

Am I the only one who thought of the princess bride when Oberlyn was fighting the mountain?

Since the hashtag is twoiaf I'm gonna say it doesn't have anything to do with the plot of asoiaf. I believe it has something to do with world building.
So what's theories are there about this mythical world?

Does it have to do with the seasons??
Posted on 2/1/14 at 8:51 am to ladytiger118
Maybe.
There seems to be pretty educated guesses on asoiaf that Ran (who runs westeros.org) has in the past had a long time theory about dragonblood. And some posters in there that know him think that's what it is.
I have no idea what his actual theory on dragonblood is though

Dragon blood...interesting. Like it makes the Targs mad and have bad tempers?
Posted on 2/1/14 at 9:48 am to ladytiger118
I'm thinking more along the lines of how dragon blood came to be and maybe what doomed Valyria
eta: how Targs supposedly have dragon blood in them. And may explain why Dany and the other Targ from TP&TQ had babies that were dragon-like in appearance. Although they is a theory that Danys baby was not the way Mirri Maz Duur describes it to be and that Targs don't actually have dragon blood in them literally

Anyway.. Let's talk Bran's visions from the weirwood tree
First Vision: "...in the godswood looking down upon his father. Lord Eddard seemed much younger this time. His hair was brown, with no hint of grey in it, his head bowed. "...let them grow up as brothers, with only love between them," he prayed, "and let my lady wife find it in her heart to forgive..."
-possibly young Ned praying for Jon and Robb
Second Vision: "...two children danced across the godswood, hooting at one another as they dueled with broken branches. The girl was the older and taller of the two. Arya! Bran thought eagerly, as he watched her leap up onto a rock and cut at the boy. But that couldn't be right. If the girl was Arya, the boy was Bran himself, and he had never worn his hair so long. And Arya never beat me playing swords, the way the girl s beating him. She slashed at the boy across his thigh, so hard that his leg went out from under him and he fell into the pool and began to splash and shout. "You be quiet, stupid," the girl said, tossing her branch aside. "It's just water. Do you want Old Nan to hear and run and tell Father?" She knelt and pulled her brother from the pool, but before she got him out again, the two of them were gone."
-Lyanna and Benjen playing swords as children
Third Vision: “After that the glimpses came faster and faster, till Bran was feeling lost and dizzy. He saw no more of his father, nor the girl who looked like Arya, but a woman heavy with child emerged naked and dripping from the black pool, knelt before the tree, and begged the old gods for a son who would avenge her.“
-this is the most mysterious. Who is this woman? Brandon Stark's daughter? Who was wooed away by Bael the Bard, only to have her maidenhead taken, and forced to spend a pregnancy in the crypts of winterfell. Perhaps she bathed in the pool when nobody was around. She certainly would have had vengeance, her bastard became Lord of Winterfell, and she ended up throwing herself from the tower. But this doesn't seem to fit the timeline
Fourth Vision:“Then there came a brown-haired girl slender as a spear who stood on the tips of her toes to kiss the lips of a young knight as tall as Hodor.”
-Dunk and Old Nan most probable
Early Fifth Vision: “A dark-eyed youth, pale and fierce, sliced three branches off the weirwood and shaped them into arrows."
-The dark-eyed youth, pale and fierce could be Brandon Snow making Three weirwood arrows to kill Aegon the Conqueror's Three dragons
Middle Part of Fifth Vision: "And now the lords Bran glimpsed were tall and hard, stern men in fur and chain mail. Some wore faces he remembered from the statues in the crypts, but they were gone before he could put a name to them."
-Bran recognizes a bunch of Stark kings so this symbolizes a lot of time passing
Last Part of Fifth Vision: "Then, as he watched, a bearded man forced a captive down onto his knees before the heart tree. A white-haired woman stepped toward them through a drift of dark red leaves, a bronze sickle in her hand. The woman grabbed the captive by the hair, hooked the sickle round his throat, and slashed."
-My guess is this vision is just showing how the Starks once practiced blood sacrifices

After thinking it through, how stupid was Cersei's plan to kill Robert? Her entire plan hinged on the wills and whim of a wild animal and a 15 year old. Plus her plan was to get a drunk even drunker and have that kill him? Plus he's with Barristan fricking Selmy. Cersei just really really lucked out in the first novel, and she thinks she's a genius when the plan was really dumb. While it worked out, if she was logical, she would have headed Ned's advice and haul arse out of town in order for her kids to be spared.
