A Dance with Dragons - Chapter 56 - The Iron Suitor

[@6942-j7y]

I once again broke down laughing on the job at the apeshit part i love Mr. Martin with all the realities of war he still makes such dumbass poopoo jokes Asoiaf also contains high brow pp and poopoo humour but only if you read into the sybology but monkeyshit going splat splat splat is the crystallization of "haha poopoo kaka" Tldr monkeyshit is peak fiction

[@sgauden02]

Victarion Greyjoy and the red priest Moqorro both should have been in the show!

[@jcwilder86]

ONLY CHAPTER IN BOOKS THAT LEAVES THE P.O.V

[@kyleisbart9042]

Wait what?

[@yonirais4699]

​@@kyleisbart9042 hes talking about the part where victarion is in his cabin with the red priest. We are not with him and dont know what exactly he did to his hand to "heal" it.

[@Commanber]

Isn't Dany in the tent with Mirri another one?

[@Wishuk112]

No we see dany's pov the whole way through​@@Commanber

[@brendonmckeen7807]

Wow. The only one? That just blew my mind.

[@Eshkanama]

Moqorro is easily one of my favorite characters. I’m really sad that we didn’t see him in the show.

[@EDuarteVillanueva]

Love the "Where were these cedars?" moment. Makes Vic sounds like a disappointed tourist.

[@thesamejackalsniperthatkil117]

Vicky G is hilarious, and all of his chapters are. Love him

[@shadedbear6414]

Victarion is soooo damn metal

[@GraeFox]

Victsrion: hmm..is the maester poisoning me with his blade? Me: your insane dude Victarion: he was one of Eurons creatures.. Me: HMMMMMMM

[@DavidReadsASoIaF]

Voctarion is dumb as a bag of rocks, dumbest POV character by leagues, and that’s part of why he is so awesome.

[@GraeFox]

@@DavidReadsASoIaF he's not much of a thinker, I see what you mean, I wanna hear victarion v strong belwas 😍

[@postvizsla7509]

Holy shit bro, your voice for the red priest is incredible. I listened to feast through another channel but I’m going to go back and re listen with you. Thanks for doing what you do my man. Would you ever consider making a channel for theories and just general aSoIaF talk? I’d sub so damn fast. If you had a patreon linked to a second channel I’d definitely be a donor, your services aren’t unnoticed bro

[@postvizsla7509]

Anyone who makes an incredible story better is a GD hero in my eyes

[@shinjinobrave]

Absolutely love Victarion and how his chapters seem to indicate George was tired of being subtle when it came to psychosexual imagery. May two gods look after our dumb little Freud-pirate!

[@dookieshoe2905]

He really loves that dragon binder horn too.

[@DavidReadsASoIaF]

Victarion's great. "Why am I so unhappy all the time? I mean, I'm doing everything right. I dedicated myself to a violent and unattainable masculine ideal. I beat my wife to death. What gives?"

[@shinjinobrave]

@@DavidReadsASoIaF To be fair, Euron made him beat his wife to death. He practically beat her to death himself, there was nothing Victarion could do. He had 0 other options!

[@Bloo2314]

Can you please elaborate on the psychosexual imagery part?

[@MH-ro1lg]

In the quiet words of the virgin Mary, come again?

[@nekitamol1k242]

39:32 Wow, is this kind of a departure from POV storytelling?

[@DavidReadsASoIaF]

I guess it is! I can’t think of another chapter that pulls anything like this, but maybe there’s examples I’m forgetting. I am more than willing to forgive it though because the end of this chapter is so cool and scary.

[@demon_hawkeye5269]

Kind of, I view it like this: we skipped forward in time like we do in other chapters, but it's stylized uniquely with information he would have heard from his men later to sort of give the effect of zooming out during that time.

[@libiar]

I think it is. As I remember, the same thing was in the end of Daenerys final chapter in Game of Thrones

[@baaaldur]

Also Bran II, AGOT

[@theelectricprince8231]

I feel so bad for the Maestar

[@oliwierkarnicki3953]

35:17 i cant stop laughing and thinking of this one line because how how its read. This is great

[@DavidReadsASoIaF]

ha! Thank you! The Victarion chapters in Dance are low-key hilarious. Brutally violent farce.

[@JesusGonzalez-mt3es]

What if the monkeys are under crow's eye control, mocking him when the animals are pooping everywhere

[@DavidReadsASoIaF]

I think the mental image of Victarion tormented and implicitly bested by a bunch of mundane monkeys is funnier!

[@thesamejackalsniperthatkil117]

He could also be warging the dusky woman to spy on victarion.

[@Joggi98]

I'm loving these. Let's hope they don't get taken down! Are you going to read Dunk and Egg as well? Or Fire and Blood?

[@DavidReadsASoIaF]

I'm planning on AT LEAST reading the Winds preview chapters and Dunk and Egg as we await TWoW. After that, well, that's hundreds of pages away. We'll see!

[@kevinu9528]

Guess it's pointless to read Preston Jacobs fan written winds of winter but you should definitely give it a listen. I think it's really good and might be the closest get to a finished book

[@IngTomT]

28:26 Of course your hand is rotting away stupid. Wrapping it six times. The wound needs fresh air to breathe and heal.

[@DavidReadsASoIaF]

No one ever accused Victarion of being too smart

[@IngTomT]

@@DavidReadsASoIaF No, certainly not, haha

[@SalsaAndChips]

If it's an open wound it needs to be wrapped to keep anything from getting inside of the wound

[@nycgweed]

Thank you for your hard work david

[@DavidReadsASoIaF]

Choosing to believe that the monkeys are a reference to the final scenes from "Aguirre, The Wrath of God."

[@СиняяЗвезда-ж8б]

Don't know that one unfortunately

[@DavidReadsASoIaF]

It's one of my favorite movies, about a megalomaniacal Conquistador leading a doomed mission into the Amazon rainforest. Towards the end, the ship gets overrun by monkeys, along with a lot of other weird stuff.

[@SalsaAndChips]

I always just figured George made it to pig island once and loved it so he made reference lol

[@MrDukeSilverr]

Fantastic movie, adapted it as a play once, very low budget, but high in spirit!

I don't understand. Is Moquorro the same priest that was on the ship with Tyrion?

[@АндрейПашук-ь1ф]

Yeah it is.

Victarion, he was no fool, he knew he could not defeat 300 ships with only 53, I mean who do we think he is? Some kind of an Admiral Yi? Not hardly.

[@rakaman27]

I always wonder how Moqorro is so good with the flames and Meli is sooooo bad. Was she like a C- in flame reading class? Maybe a D and only passed because the teacher took pity on her.

[@michaelstark8720]

there's no proof Mel is bad in reading flames and Maqorro is super precise.. things she said still can come to pass in future and Maqorro is looking smaller events like what will happen in day or two but Mel is searching questions that considers fate of the whole world

[@rakaman27]

@@michaelstark8720 she literally told Jon that Arya was riding to the wall lol.

[@michaelstark8720]

@@rakaman27 Yeah but that's minor stuff. Arya Stark or Alys Karstark means nothing to her. She saw minor events what she expected to see. She still is looking wider events while Maqorro is talking about small events

[@Plainbear]

Mel base her sight on the facts she knows. She does not even suspect that Jon might be a Targaryan/Stark. Fire born in Ice. She see a men in her visions of kinghood, so know it cant be Dany, but doe not suspect Jon or the other Targaryan.
