Hello, I hope you’re well! I wanted to ask your thoughts of something about Lysa if that’s alright. I know you’ve discussed her internalized misogyny related to her relationship with Sansa and Catelyn, I was wondering how you think she feels about controlling Sansa’s marriage the same ways hers was controlled. When she wanted Sansa to marry her son. And she assumed that of course Sansa will want to be married and be a mother. Is it lack of empathy or is there more aspects that you see to it? Thaoriginal ↗

Do you think it will occur to Doran that all the people connected to Elia and her children’s death Tywin, Lorch, Gregor, and Kevan have all been killed? None of the remaining Lannisters were involved. I guess Doran could make an argument that Jaime should have protected Elia and her children but even that is stretching it. What does he have to seek revenge against?original ↗

Were there any legal barriers that Tywin could use to prevent Tyrion from inheriting Casterly Rock, other than Jaime leaving the Kingsguard and becoming the heir again?original ↗

You have said, and I agree, that Lyanna ran of with Rhaegar due to not wanting to marry Robert largely because he wouldn’t be faithful. So I have two questions, the first is do you think Lyanna tried to justify her own decision to run of with Rhaegar despite making her Rhaegar’s mistress? And the second question is how much do you think Lyanna disliked Robert to take such an action as running away with Rheagar?original ↗

What does Doran do if Arianne actually takes a shine to one of the suitors that he arranged and she wants to marry them?original ↗

What do you think happens in the War of Five Kings if Doran had accepted Hoster’s offer to betroth Arianne to Edmure years before?original ↗

What do you think Tywin thought about the whole incident at crossroads inn when Nymeria bit Joffrey? What do you think Tywin would have done or demanded to be done had he been there in person?original ↗

If Cersei didn’t accuse Tyrion of Joffrey’s murder as soon as he was dead (she fainted when Joffrey died, she was too sick to attend the wedding, whatever), would Tywin have managed to do some damage control? He hates Tyrion too, but he’s got his own plans for Tyrion, and he could probably see that accusing Tyrion in public wouldn’t exactly help the Lannisters. What are your thoughts?original ↗

The North has the Boltons, the Vale has the Royces and the Reach has the Hightowers, houses that can act as secondary centers of power inside the kingdom. With the Reynes and Tarbeks no more, what, if any, house of the Westerlands might serve this position of second most powerful and influential? Or are the Lannisters under Tywin so domeneering as to not allow any secondary power center, however diminished?original ↗

I hope this isn’t too far out a question but do you think Cersei as a character would ever be drawn to magic as a source of power? Or even a means to an end of more political power? She’s witnessed legit magic including Maggy and whatever going on with “Robert Strong” do you think sorcery would appeal to her?original ↗

Your response to the question about Joffreys death made me question something. Should we condemn the Tyrells and Littlefinger for killing Joffrey? I am not sure the narrative ever does.original ↗

Sorry if this has been asked before but: who do you think gets the throne if Robert and Rhaegar both die in the Rebellion? And would it have been better or worse?original ↗

Do you think Cersei might ever regret not following Ned’s advice to flee since by the end of Cersei story it’s almost a certainty that all her kids will be dead?original ↗

The climb up the dark stone steps from the black cells left Cersei feeling breathless. I must rest. Getting to the truth was wearisome work, and she dreaded what must follow. I must be strong. What I must do I do for Tommen and the realm. It was a pity that Maggy the Frog was dead. Piss on your prophecy, old woman. The little queen may be younger than I, but she has never been more beautiful, and soon she will be dead. — Cersei IX, AFFC What do you think of this part? How is defeating Margaery ioriginal ↗

Even though Dorne retained its independence and the titles of Prince and Princess, technically don’t hold the same power as a Stark, Arryn, or Lannister? A Prince of Dorne holds the same power as a Lord Stark, Lord Tyrell, or Lord Baratheon. The title of Prince or Princess means nothing if they stand on the same level as a Lord or Lady from the other Great Houses of ASOIAF.original ↗

Is rhaenyra’s death femicide? I know a lot of ppl use this big term to describe her death, and yes, the Greens were misogynistic and usurped her throne. She was also offered terms after the usurpation. But the direct cause of her death was that she was a rival ruler during a two-year civil war that was tearing Westeros apart. It would be more objectively considered femicide if she had been killed before the war even began. I hope you answer my question.original ↗

What do you think Martin’s endgame is for the Iron Islands? Do they go down in flames with Euron? If Asha does somehow manage to establish herself as their leader (Queensmoot? flat-out civil war?), is there a realistic path for her to rebuild the Iron Islands as a less brutal society?original ↗
