I actually wanted to see the timeline where they find Aemond. These jokers would've got crushed

Thought I'd see son memes first

Yeah I was like no way they're winning that lmfao

they didn't they just threatened to. still bad, but hell nah.

This too

they don't, but they use that threat to force helaena to make an impossible choice

in the show she was weirdly quick to point to jaehaerys without much prompting and then just leaving him there. she doesn't even plead for them to kill her instead.

All I know is Cheese has to die for kicking the doggo

be aware it is not written like a novel

And let’s be honest, if they did end up showing that explicitly we’d have dozens of articles and Twitter threads saying “did the writers go too far???” or “Was it necessary to show that level of violence towards a child??” Etc etc

So you can’t really make everyone happy when you adapt something like that . It would’ve always been controversial

this is true but there's also the question of "does this change make for more gripping television" and in this case the answer is no

I didn't really understand why she didn't try to fake them out lol. Like I thought that's what she was doing like Blood said lmfao. Then again, when she was pointing, it looked like she was pointing to the kid closer to her and not Jaehaerys. A weirdly shot scene

I was gripped up the stakes were high enough for me

i don't know why they didn't just adapt one of the accounts word for word.

they had the answers to the test and got a C.

they had the receiver wide open on a streak and checked it down.

open shot and dribbled into a contest

Im guessing just a loose collection of stories?

You have to genuinely be interested in Westeros lore and worldbuilding before you decide if you want to read Fire & Blood

It’s nothing like the ASOIAF books, but it’s really phenomenal reading material

they made no such threat to the daughter in the book

but yeah removing the youngest son f***s the scene up

Nah its written like a history book

Wait what was the point of the dog lol

You don’t get character perspectives or dialogue. It’s more like if Maester’s were sitting in a room and gossiping and telling old stories about the Targaryen dynasty . And it takes you through their history starting from the beginning

It’s not for everyone, but like I said if you care about Westeros lore it’s really good stuff .
And since it’s not told from character perspectives, there’s an air of mystery to the book because you’re constantly reminded that there’s no certainty that the stories being told are 100% factual

"Cheese warned the queen to make a choice soon, before Blood grew bored and raped her little girl."

straight from fire and blood

Her just happening to come across her child's dead body on the shore was a choice

ur right i was only looking at the dialogue
