ASOIAF Crackpot Theory Thread Catalogue

NOTE: This catalogue does not include every single theory. Theories that were shot down immediately with evidence from the books do not appear here. All other theories, no matter how farfetched, are included. Only impossible or disproven theories are left out and any theory with even a shred of plausibility is included. Theories that are rehashed multiple times also won’t be included as separate entries, but if I see two large discussions of the same topic I’ll put in page numbers for both discussions where possible. Credit is given to theorists where possible, and I'm doing my best to briefly summarize theories. If you think your theory is incorrectly summarized, feel free to suck my balls. This is already a hard job.

Catalogue of Crackpot Theories From Page 110-150:

There is a dragon egg in or near the wall, white with red specks. Seems to point to Jon. – Page 112, Poster: skirpnasty

Jon Snow will be the “bizarro” Azor Ahai, and will ride an Ice Dragon, be armored in ice and wield a Dragon Glass Sword. – Page 115, Poster: 19

Sansa will kill or defeat Littlefinger; this is foreshadowed by Robert Arryn’s smashing her ice castle with his toy giant, and her ripping the toy giant’s head off. – Page 117, Poster: skirpnasty

Arya is the Valonquar, and kills Cersei to fulfill the prophecy. – Page 118, Poster: jrodLSUke

Dorne sides with Aegon and helps him claim the Iron Throne; Tommen is killed. – Page 119, Poster: NIH

Euron is the Dusky Woman; he has learned the skill of being faceless. – Page 119, Poster: NIH

Mance Rayder = Ser Arthur Dayne. – Page 120, Poster: skirpnasty

Mance Rayder = Rhaegar Targaryen. – Page 121, Poster: skirpnasty

Darkstar = Aegon VI. – Page 122, Poster: jrodLSUke

The Others are not ruined Greenseers or Children of the Forest; they were created by the Children of the Forest, or at least serve them. – Page 123, Poster: 19

Randyll Tarly will betray Mace Tyrell, and kill Aegon to show fealty to Danerys Targaryen. – Page 125, Poster NIH

Littlefinger will try to kill Rickon to strengthen Sansa’s claim, and Sansa will kill Littlefinger as a result. – Page 126, OMLandshark

General discussion of people with fake identities (R+l=J, Varys=Blackfyre, etc.). – Page 127, All Posters

Jon wargs into ghost, and meets Varaymyr Sixskins, who teaches him how to use his abilities. – Page 131, Poster: Slinger16

Loras Tyrell is alive and well, and Dragonstone is still held by Stannis. It was never even attacked, and the Tyrells have something major planned. – Page 136, Poster: NIH

Either Kevan, Tysha or the Red Viper poisoned Tywin Lannister before Tyrion killed him. Tysha=Shea. (lots of discussion of this topic on several pages). – Page 148, Poster: 19

Varys and his sister Serra are Blackfyres, and Serra gave birth to Illyrio’s son. Varys and Illyrio are working to make her son King of the Seven Kingdoms. – Page 149, Poster: NIH

Varys killed Ned Stark, not Littlefinger. – Page 149, Poster: Slinger16

Great work. My thoughts on a couple in light of the most recent stuff (the show through season 5 and the books through the sample chapters of WoW):

quote:

Sansa will kill or defeat Littlefinger; this is foreshadowed by Robert Arryn’s smashing her ice castle with his toy giant, and her ripping the toy giant’s head off. – Page 117, Poster: skirpnasty

Certainly possible. And with Sansa in Winterfell (or in a snowdrift right outside the wall at this exact moment) it could happen. Especially if Littlefinger brings the Night's of the Vale to attack the Boltons and Winterfell is greatly damaged during the battle.

quote:

Dorne sides with Aegon and helps him claim the Iron Throne; Tommen is killed. – Page 119, Poster: NIH

I've always thought this was a very likely possibility in the books (the alliance, not necessarily the victory). And I'm pretty sure one of the princesses of Dorne went to meet Aegon to explore an alliance/marriage. But with the show skipping Aegon all together and not presenting Doran as calculating as he appeared in the books I'm thinking maybe Aegon was a dead end and Doran didn't pull the trigger (maybe he never got word about Frog).

quote:

Either Kevan, Tysha or the Red Viper poisoned Tywin Lannister before Tyrion killed him. Tysha=Shea. (lots of discussion of this topic on several pages). – Page 148, Poster: 19

There is a good bit of circumstantial evidence for the theory. Though I'd rule out Kevan: the Viper is a definite possibility and maybe Tysha/Shea working for LF or Varys (wouldn't that devastate Tyrion if he found out after he's killed her). But I don't see the import of the theory so I kind of discount it.

quote:

Varys and his sister Serra are Blackfyres, and Serra gave birth to Illyrio’s son. Varys and Illyrio are working to make her son King of the Seven Kingdoms. – Page 149, Poster: NIH


I'd say its very likely that at least Illyrio's wife was a Blackfyre and he and Varys were working to put Illyrio's and Serra's son (ie: "Aegon") on the throne. Not sure if Serra is Varys sister though. But again, with the show skipping Aegon I'm guessing he didn't prevail. Though I guess they could maybe conflate Aegon with Danny in the show (but it makes my head hurt trying to figure out if they could have successfully switched her at birth or soon thereafter)

I think varys could be serra. His claim to being a eunich is only verified that he openly admits to it. The bald head helps hide the gender and lineage.
