Anyone else’s eyes fucked after watching that Simpsons gif. No, just me???
faceplacespace
It's called Imrryr and they are known as Melniboneans! >=[
TheHumanCentipad
The faceless men did not found Bravos.

Hey, we can speak across the sea through glass too. In fact, I think that's what I'm doing right now. Can't kill anyone with my thoughts tho
AlessandraLaeif
I like how Dragons = Change of Appearance and Incest.
xMrALX
You lost me at “Incest”.
Epicentr
Do another and check for spelling. That was fun :D
RepostFromLastWeek
Is this canon or is this fanboy fiction?
mumbojumbo29
that was a good read +1

The Valyrians used their slaves to mine resources UNDERGORUND! Where is Gorund?!? #TheThickPlottens

So Daenerys shagging her nephew was actually an improvement on a family tradition?

#2 Through Tiral. Who’s Tiral?

Ancestor to Tywin and Tyrion?

will have to read this again before I tackle the series again

PatIsTheBest
Not only is this incorrect in parts, it misses out some of the coolest parts. Submission of each of the kingdoms is very cool in my opinion
dogonplane
I also love Lord of the rings
TheWombatStrikesAgain
#9 They had to fight for 250 years before they finally got the idea thay maybe they could burn down their enemies' cities?
WeedlordBonerLover69
the US has had nukes since the 40s, doesnt mean we use em everyday. burning cities down with dragons ruins the place youre conquering.
cthulhusbestfriend
The rhnor had magic of their own that countered the dragons. It took a long ass time 40 plus dragons and a army to finally wear them out.
StealerofSouls
Some similarities to the Melnibonéans from the Elric series. I haven't read or watched GOT.
SerDire
Harrenhal was just finished and Harren refused to submit to Aegon, so Aegon burned the biggest castle in Westeros.
ThomasTheWankEnglne
Impenetrable from the land. Not from the sky
SerDire
“A million men could’ve marched on these walls and a million men would’ve been repelled. Aegon changed the rules” - Tywin
FirstThingThatCameToMind
"The valerans were just normal sheep herders that had dragon controlling magic" I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding about sheep
supersomatic
I think your misunderstanding of the word "were" and tense is fundamental
rezpawner
It's like a story written by a child. "A normal boy with a billion dollars and could also do magic and was invincible and had dragons and.."
SpartanStatic
"Everything changed when they discovered dragons in their mountains." the literal first sentence of the 2nd image, first mention of dragon.
ThomasTheWankEnglne
Good shit. Westeros and middle earth mythos are the best.
HoovinSchmoovin
Love me some cthulhu mythos as well
iwanttomountndewya
I would at Azeroth to this mix but bliz fucked it up so... Final fantasy 14 isn't half bad though
FarNorthFarLeft
I love the show but am afraid to tackle the books. Loved Lord of The Rings but HATED the books. Hokey, snooze fest. Give me Jane Eyre anyday
SpikeTheGoat
I thought they were alright. A lot of repetition of some things (I suppose to hammer home a point/straighten it out) and so-so pacing.
strideout
Reading the books, haven't seen the show. Sometimes feels a little slow, but otherwise a brilliant story. Recommend the audio books.
theyreshellfishcoral
Im reading the books and enjoying them! Im actually glad i watched the series first though; helps to keep all the characters straight.
Ivanaski
Which one was the unconquered kingdom?
IKnowYouHateMeYes
Dorne, through sheer stupidity.
PraiseDickbuttLordAndSaviorOfUsersub
Dorne
ThatOneGuy8610
Dorne remained unconquered because when the dragons showed up the Dornish weren't there they would flee from their cities and eventually 1/2
ThatOneGuy8610
Someone got lucky and shot a dragon in the eye with an arrow and killed the dragon and one of the Queens
krapmyself
I can believe in dragons. I can believe in magic. I cannot believe in generations of inbreeding not resulting in deformed retards.
Aceh0le87
Proofs in the pudding : 50% inbreeding rate on average in muslim populations (up to 70% in some places), 1400 years later we get ISIS.... =\
BSwann
Most the royal families of Europe were inbred to a degree and they ended up with things like haemophilia.
sashie
All inbreeding does is bring out bad recessive genes.... if you do it long enough and get rid of the recessive everyone will be fine
Nocan
R3mmy
Just look at the European nobility, nothing wrong with them right?
FinrodFelagundPrinceoftheNoldor

idkwhyiask
Well there we re 40 noble familly at the time of valeria,at that time incest was not the custom of those 40 familly,the targarians decided
idkwhyiask
That in order to keep the magic in their blood incest would be the solution
avianidiot
Several of the targaryen royalty gave birth to or fathered deformed stillborn children with scales and tales. Before that there were...
avianidiot
40 other valerian families to interbreed with and reduce issues.
zuzutheninja
It's that whole "magic thing" I guess
Quigonjinnandjuice
Funny cause there’s actually a lot of deformity in the history of the books. It’s one of the reasons people think Tyrion is a targ
GlassCannon570
There were… a few rebels.
Threewisemen
Inbreeding is nothing new, it can strengthen genes, but also has a high chance of surfacing recessive genes with genetic defects.
muhvitus
Few generations of human inbreeding sister/brother pairings would make very ill people. 1000 years of inbreeding with one line wouldn't work
dxwill103
Asexual reproduction is an example. It has its uses, it's still around today in some animals. Has strengths but virtually zero adaptibiliy.
RancidRance
In GRRM's other works, inbreeding leads to magic like abilities, such as the control of animals.
squintish
Can you believe in child eunuchs developing into soldiers with masculine physiques? This is why we have suspension of disbelief.
sultin
Inbreeding just has a habit of expressing recessive genes. It’s not like some morality ghost comes down to smite them. Start with good genes
Nattodesu
I mean, most European royal families only really stopped with the incest in the 20th century, and very few were physically deformed.
ColonelColon
Well there were 40 families, so interbreeding among them would slow genetic issues by quite a bit.
idkwhyiask
At the time they had knowledge ,fogorten magin and artefact to control the dragon,they could had fuck would they would have wanted,so
idkwhyiask
40 familly name was important,not their dna,but then after the downfall of valeria,incest was the only solution it seems,justa humbleopinion
ColonelColon
I mean there's plenty of historical precedence ie: European nobility. It would have been incest just to a much lesser degree than after fall
SnickerMyKnickers
I think the underlying explanation was that this was due to magic in the Targs blood from Old Valyria
Animala144
I can believe all of that, however I cannot believe that Samwell Tarly posses some kind magical metabolism.
squintish
Managing to stay fat on limited calories while marching/camping? I had the same problem with Tyreese from The Walking Dead.
theishist
Yeah, they all came out so well...
