Questionable Questing

Tywin let his wife make a Vampire westlands with ghoul labor replacing the living. He is a dangerous romantic

How you like Tyrion and Urt's friendship and Urt in general?

One of the biggest differences between the show and book Tyrion is that show Tyrion is a lot nicer of a person. In the books there's this scene were he talking about Stannis's army was sieging king landing and how it was causing food shortages and how the guards had to beat back a mob of starving people that were attacking a baker for putting sawdust in his flour.

Then the chapter ends with Tyrion describing in detail a rich decadent meal he had for lunch and how tasty he thought it was, and him having a dark laugh at how much it would suck to be a peasant.

That sounds like Martin. Did you know he said of Viserys and Daemon of House of Dragons that he felt he'd revise the characters because of how the show portrayed them with more depth? Not to say Tyrion being mean here is lack of depth, in fact I would say it is. Flaws of a negative soul, but it does show Martin writes the cynically mean

With Tyrion and Urt I really like how their teaching each other stuff. Tyrion is teaching Urt politic's and some of the higher minded stuff, while Urt teaches Tyrion the common perspective and more dirty work. They sound a lot like Sherlock and Watson in that they combine their two perspectives to solve a case.

Yeah Martin is cynical about his characters to the point of stupidity sometimes. There's a reason a good chunk of the fan base is routing for the other's to come in and win. Still I do think that angrier, more selfish edge works for book Tyrion, his whole character arc in that one is becoming the monster everyone thought he was.

Which is obviously very, very different from the direction the show took.

And vastly different from me and Jackal. I advocated for Cersie to be likable. Still a bitch but she's had kids, loves her husband though she won't accept that and has friends. But also is treating Jamie as a side piece and being a neglectful piece of shit.

Now shall we talk Bimbos? The source of magic, the ascended woman of the world from where all power derives
Andy333
Andy333
Yeah, Cersei in the books is weirdly tragic. Yeah she's a crazy bitch, but she's literally going insane as her children and family die off around her and she starting to hallucinate them mocking her, its actually really sad.
Andy333
Andy333
But back to bimbo's. Where should magic come from? A scorned goddess punishing the woman of the world? A meteor containing toxic warp stone causing the corruption? Connection to nature and our more primal sides?

I don't remember the mocking her bit. And yes, I always felt kinda bad for how broken Cersie was.

A bimbo Godddess divided into two between two moral but not good and evil forces. a "good" bimbo Godddess creator of the world and a 'evil" goddess creator of the world. Dark Bimbos crave bloodshed and destruction, pain and tyranny. Bright Bimbos hunger for adoration, worship, to be venerated and physically and emotionally loved.
Bob is bob
Bob is bob
Neither a punishment. The core idea of this is Bimbos are beautiful and awesome, their the stars of the show. Of course the male characters are also highlights able to do cool epic things, but this world is built on the Bimbos. Bimbos are the main attraction, the thing loved or feared.

Where did the bimbo goddess come from? And what does she want? Can she talk to her human followers? Is she even sentient or is she more a force of nature rather than a person?
Bob is bob
Bob is bob
I'd say the bimbo goddess two halves are more forces of nature with some avatars over the course of history but these prophets always at the end of the day being the individual person interpetiing these two forces.

As to why she came into existence? That is creation myth territory
Andy333
Andy333
Any other gods or is it just her?
Bob is bob
Bob is bob
Just her. There are demons and angels who are ascended Bright and Dark Bimbos with their wizard and warlock paramours. As to why Wizards and Warlocks exist? they further feed the power of the Bimbos and it is a need in Bimbos, to be attached, to bond, to join with and become greater.

Any monsters or enemies to fight? Or is it just the enteral battle between the light and dark bimbos? And man saying that out loud sounds a whole lot like a sailor moon parody. Lol
