I feel like the part talking about tyrion discovering incest was probably a scene where tyrion stummbled upon grif and young grif having sex. Which was thankfully scrapped

Wasn’t the ghost of high heart also there? Idk maybe I’m remembering wrong.

Would Jon snow not be the first? With the burn

Casual fan service.

0:54 he still does have a communication problem (arguably worse in the show.

Clash Arya is fine, it's Storm Arya that is tedious to read

House ThennStark has a nice ring to it

I see, a reason to talk about JonCon once more

It doesn't fit super neatly into your very very good analysis but I would include Jon Snow in this list as well. The way he's constantly flexing his hand and his internal monologue sort of read like chronic pain to me. I wonder if invisible disability in this story justifies a third video on the topic.

Jon burnt his hand in AGoT and Theon got his fingers filleted.

Don't forget Catelyn and her hand wounds from defending Bran. The scars haunt her character turning from a reminder of her family being in pressing, present, danger, to representing her pride and strength as a Stark defending her family, to the symbol of the beginning of the end of her old life when she becomes Lady Stone-heart.

also orys baratheon lost his hand and was the first hand of the king. (didnt start video yet idk if you mention this)

OK but where do you stand on Tyrek Lannister being a horse?

I've recently seen someone who apparently has never read ASOIAF theorise about Elden Ring and the fact that so many characters miss an eye, or are completely blind and all I could think is that that was probably GRRMs influence

Can you make a video about whether or not Westeros would accept Lord of Light as new religion? I mean, I had a feel that GRRM wants to do like Rome accept Christianity but with Westeros and Lord of Light. GRRM also seems to favor Lord of Light in the books most of the time other than Old Gods. Melisandre, Thoros of Myr, Beric Dondarion, Lady Stone heart, Jon (if Melisandre resurrects him). Also, in the show, why no one convert to Lord of Light? Melisandre literally carried Long Night.

History hates supervisors...

Hot take: Ned Stark’s broken leg causes EVERYTHING that happens after it.

I hate when a character sustains a serious injury and then 2 chapters/scenes later it’s forgotten about because ‘that part of the story’ is over now.

There is symbolism. The hands symbolize your impact and influence in the world (like Hand of the King). When George destroys hands, he is saying you been doing life right. Every hand destruction seems to come with change in station. Davos from smuggler to Knight. Jaime from Varsity to the benches. You could apply the fate of Hoate the Goat here too.

Thanks, Quinn. Happy holidays!

Not just Jon snow. Catlyn also gets her hand cut to the bone by the catspaw assassin.

yeah this isn’t a very good take. sorry brother. usually like your stuff.

All four characters represent a different stage of their injury as well: Davos has an old wound long since accepted, Jamie has just received their wound and is coping with the immediate fallout, Victerion has a wound undone (at least seemingly averted) and Jon Connington is grappling with the threat of a wound yet to come. Just thought it was interesting that the parallels also operate on the axis of time and uncertainty.

There are definitely more characters with damaged hands - Jon Snow, Qhorin Halfhand, Theon, Coldhands … there must be more, as GRRM repeats themes and symbols throughout the story.

It also an ode to Star Wars.

Jon connigton and aegon both are going to die at the end of the book so Daenerys can come to westros Asha greyjoy or theo one of them will die Stannis baratheon maybe Ramsey bolton of course I have a lot 😂😂

Weird thing I’ve noticed is when Jon talks about his hurt hand he almost always thinks about Arya afterwords.

I think each one of them can represent a horseman of the apocalypse Victarion being war and Jon Connington being pestilence I feel are both self explanatory in the case of Davos I think he represents famine considering his past is tide to famine, We have a whole chapter where he nearly dies of thirst and his current destination is a land of cannibals, In the case of Jamie I think he represents death, He has been dealing death for years and is famous for it and is infamous for his most defining act which was killing Aryse and Jamie’s current destination is to meet Lady Stoneheart also if you believe Jamie is the valanquar this just makes too much sense.

Tenía entendido que fue Jaehaerys quién obligó a sus hijos a casarse entre ellos por la profecía que le dijo el Fantasma de Alto Corazón, y que a Aegon no le gustó la unión, pero tampoco lo prohibió. Que después aprovechara la unión para sus fines es otra cosa. Y yo siempre pensé que iban a sacrificar a Rhaegar para que los huevos eclosionaran.

great video!
