    @The Immortal Watch Dog Sounds like a recipe for some weirdly cute interactions. Like some Smallfolk go to meet/see the Giants and their Mammoths who are spooked by all the people themselves. Only for some people to approach and be allowed to touch, things seem dangerous at first before more...

    My bad, thing is, I think that armour has to cover EVERYTHING, like you have to be covered in steel or metal everywhere. Though I admit aside from weight, there are flexibility issues and chances of being cooked alive by the sun in your own armour. I have to bet the original Umbers were less...

    I think Giants would have the problem of it being hard to armor them and well, they’re still beings of flesh and blood I remember a fic wherein Greatjon Umber was told they were around as proof of the Others existing, he actually saw and scouted the giants and mammoths and decided “Yeah they’re...

    @Lord Invictus Say, what do you think would the reactions of Tywin Lannister, Varys, Petyr Baelish, Olenna Tyrell, Roose Bolton and other “players of the Great Game” would be if they were confronted with actual White Walkers/Others and Wights? From a relatively safe distance to show them, yes...

    Idea: Giants & Mammoths due to an agreement with a previous King Stark got to migrate to The Gift centuries before Aegon’s Conquest The story involves the Giants facing the threat of constant extinction due to many “poachers” wanting to hunt them down for mammoth meat and giant skulls as trophies

    Idea: The Others/White Walkers come to The Wall, before King Robert arrives at Winterfell for "negotiations" and have even done Bread&Salt with the frankly terrified Night's Watch who are looking for Dragonglass weapons just-in-case but don't want to break Guest Right Ned Stark has to do...

    Gonna bet that even the Valyrian Freehold at its height could barely really penetrate it or there were beings there that could eat dragons King Kongs throwing massive boulders at dragons and Valyrians deciding to leave and that it wasn’t worth the resources

    Just thought why specifically are Westerosi against slavery? The Andals came from Essos where it was regular to have slaves and I guess that the First Men had “thralldom” like the Ironborn who might be a branch of them What could have caused the social evolution that resulted in a no slave...

    Honestly, seems to me that Aegon The Conqueror and his grandson Jaeherys and much later Egg/Aegon The Unlikely, were practically "revolutionary" for making things like the kingsroad, banning the Right of The First Night, making it so that a Lord can't so easily just divorce a wife and...

    Say, is it me or on average, most if not all of the nobility don’t really have plans for infrastructure when it comes to their ambitions It’s mostly ever just taking existing land and industry Not even stuff like economic plans to go make a second Citadel or build a Canal

    You know, in-hindsight, I think the biggest difference between Bloodraven and Bran is that the latter doesn't exactly have the sort of skill/power of the first Bloodraven from what I can understand, was and still is able to essentially warg through multiple animals at the same time, which...

    I think Bran might have also spent too much time, even in a few moments, looking through the past-present-future of the world Planetos may as well be completely fictional to him https://berserk.fandom.com/wiki/God_Hand Maybe Bran's some sort of avatar or variation of the Godhand?

    I don't think he even cares about mere mortals anymore Look at how he talked to Sansa about her rape by Ramsay Even Bloodraven behaved more human than him and he was the one stuck to a tree for many many decades

    That’s more along the lines of possessing their bodies whilst they scream in the back of their heads than being able to alter and control their thoughts Plus, Bloodraven 2.0 will be a nightmare for nobility

    What makes it so easy for each Kingdoms’ population to bounce back and for each to startup its individual small industries again quick? I mean most of its rural population looks to be slaughtered VERY quickly and admittedly their farms from what I can tell are pretty primitive and don’t make...

    Currently reading John Ringo’s Troy Rising And now remembering Poul Anderson’s High Crusade and David Drake’s Ranks of Bronze A “starport” appears in Westeros to establish “trade” right after the Greyjoy Rebellion Now Robert and the rest of the Lords of Westeros have to find a way to maintain...
