I really enjoyed the story of F. Herbert in the beginning but he lost me on the distant future jewish secret community. I just won't continue. Just don't want to waste my time on something that I don't like and focus on some other exciting books. I believe that the real story was the first book and he didn't even think about continuation. When it became so successful he came up with the Messiah appendix (and later idea of charismatic leaders shoud come with a warning on the forehead etc..). Children of Dune and God-Emperror were the conduit that he used to put in his deep philosophical thoughts on wide spectrum and development of civilization in great detail. I think, God Emperror is my second favourite in the series due to philosophical ideas and I want to iterate that original dune is just flawless masterpiece and actually not so loaded with philosophy. I would rather be much more content if F. Herbert stopped on the original Dune and just wrote down some philosophical essay on the topic of civilization development in the wake of succes of the book. In Heretics and Chapterhous he ran out of the philosophy and just kept the story going. Coupled with his wife struggle for life it made some parts of the last two books a really crumpled slog. I just give up to go on. Whtat else I wanted to say is that real Kwizatz Haderach was the Frank Herbert himself, 'a shortening of the way'. He was the one who was entertaining a multitude of distant fututres of our civilization. He was the one who chose and carefully presented them to the reader. It was his own way how to present what's going on in his head.

7:12:23 ok I think the less convoluted theory as to why Joffrey and Tommen would be the rightful kings is because of the right of conquest. Birthright monarchy is ONE legitimate way to become king, but TAKING it is too. Daenerys and Viserys refer to Robert as the usurper, but no one without a personal stake in the matter disputes that Robert was a legitimate, lawful king. He could take it, he took it, and he had it, and it was legal, right? Ok. So. It’s pretty bullshit that the way men do these things (war) is legitimate, but the way women do it (subtlety and tricks) isn’t. Cersei had the power to take the Iron Throne from the Baratheons, and she did. She took it for her sons by conquest. How is that a less legitimate way to do it than by fighting a whole war? And especially because Robert specifically named Joffrey his heir - like, he’s the king! Can’t he name whoever he wants? If he had named Loras Tyrell heir to the throne, sure people would’ve been pissed and confused, but is there really any reason a king couldn’t do that? And to top it all off, “Joffrey” (Tyrion, but whatever) won the Battle of the Blackwater. His mother took the throne for him by conquest. He was challenged in battle, and won. How is he any less a legitimate king than Robert was?

considered doing a Jaime Lannister rap?

Yo, a new song by Big Schwift and Lil Glibby!?

This is amazing

Yes, but which one of the horses is Tyrek Lannister?

Jaime and Cerci being actualy Targaryen, while Tyrion is Lannister seems interesting to me... Tyrion being similar to Tywin, and Cerci having an Targaryen streak, being a heavily incestuous pyromaniac of the wildfire kind and Tywin prefering them over his only real child who is as mishapen as his 'mind' i guess i could call it, makes it a little poetic

Maesters could have 'killed' Targaryens not actual dragons... again not in physical combat, but by manipulaton of the lords and information.

If I was the High Septon, I'd declare this an abomination

This fandom going off the deep end due to severe book drought is possibly the most unique outcome that the three eyed raven could have foreseen

Garlic is anti-Vampire, not anti-Werewolf. Thank God he wrote Sci-fi and not fantasy, that would be a real mess...

The song is about ice but the lyrics are fire

"Hey, D&D? Blame them." feels like an omen now

Get this man set up on Spotify right now

1:14 Nope, he's aghost, not ahorse

The ygritte verse is a fucking banger every time.

1:27:30 sansa and daenerys marriage confirmed

Wait I'm a snowboard instructor. And you're totally right about boarding on dunes being very similar.

WE'RE GETTING OUTTA FLEA BOTTOM WITH THIS ONE 💯💯🙏🙏

I was hunting for buried treasure but this is greater than anything I'd anything id ever imagined

Alt Shift X been real quiet since this dropped

How does a bastard, orphan, son of a... oh wait. But it's a good comparison! Broadway next! 😁

I love and hate how good this is. I’m just going about my day and them suddenly “this is the life I chose” starts ringing in my head and refuses to stop.

2:17:30 bitterbridge 2:34:30 Renly's peach

perhaps he was holding his severed hand in his other hand.

Where is the second part?!

Drugs are bad kids. Mmmmmkay?

Oh shit! Another hit by Big Schwift

this has such strong hamilton vibes, and i mean this as the biggest compliment ever

Those lines have a deep shit post potential

The lines about Snow remaining a crow despite everything lowkey go hard

Its insane how good this is, like im unsure if Schwift got professional help or just belted out an eight minute epic about the Jon mfing Snow. Keep her up dad, im waiting.

0/10, should’ve said the n-word (Ned)

This track is more explosive than Samwells fat pink mast🔥

I'm so glad about the note you ended on =) Little remark I thought: The metaphor of the door can be misleading because in real life, you don't cross it instantly. The process of going through the door can be a long and painful agony.

It’s giving hilltop hoods

Lucille might have just been a cracked pot.

Love this rap

Its getting harder and harder to keep loving this channel 🤮🤢

George R.R. Martin has been reeeeaal quiet since this one dropped!

This right here is The Song of Snow That's FIRE!! 🔥 I'm now waiting for the STRAIGHT OUTTA WESTEROS album to drop!! Alt:Shift:X better not show his face around here and say a word because "It's game over, Man!" I'm drawing my sword and declaring Alt:Shwift:X THE KING IN THE NORTH!!! THE KING IN THE NORTH!!! THE KING IN THE NORTH!!! THE KING IN THE NORTH!!! THE KING IN THE NORTH!! (ahem, Globbo did good too) THE KING IN THE NORTH!!! THE KING IN THE NORTH!!

I like how the last book just has a huge spoiler in the tagline

Yo this would do numbers on GlassCandleCloud
