Oh my dude, no-one is ignoring Euron's predations; the point is that they are not fun to think about. Remember, damn near every ASOIAF character is a murderer or worse. Remember how Danny had random people crucified because someone else had some other random people crucified? Well, that's not fun to think about so we kinda gloss over this very considered act of cruelty. GRRM knows what he is doing and all these manifold evils take their toll, but for fans who just want to talk dumb theories it's ok to just come up with madcap grimdark stuff for Euron to have done.

I've 100% heard so many theories that the squishers built Asshai, so it's absolutely a real theory. Usually they'll say it was the Deep Ones, but squishers are pretty much the same thing. Oily black stone is connected to Lovecraft references, fish people are located near the toad statue which is near Yeen which is similar to Asshai, the aesthetically Lovecraftian ironborn's connections to the GEOTD... it's such an easy conclusion to reach for theorists grasping at straws.

As the test subject for this video, I suppose I might as well share some fun facts regarding several of these wacky theories: - For question 2, option C is actually only half true. It came from an awful theory video we watched a while back where the creators suggested that Oberyn Martell raped several close family members, including his sister Elia. While the video itself never actually proposed the idea that Aegon and Rhaenys were Oberyn's bastards, I think it's fair that a rational person would see such a premise and use it to come to a more reasonable conclusion. - For question 4, option D originally suggested that Timett, son of Timett was the bastard of Brandon Stark (Eddard Stark's elder brother). However, I pointed out to Glidus that while this could be a fun way to throw people off, we have no evidence to suggest that Brandon ever visited the Vale, so the parent was changed to something more believable. - For question 10, several things were changed to be a lot less specific. Originally, option B said that Lem Lemoncloak was Willem Darry, and option C said that Richard Lonmouth was Rolland Storm (Stannis Baratheon's current castellan at Dragonstone). - For question 12, I actually shocked Glidus when I said that All Walders are Walder is in fact a theory that exists... in the pinned comments of his own Discord server (join us you spineless cowards)! Thank you to Glidus for selecting me of all physical and immaterial entities to sample this dish before it was served to the proper big boys. And no Gludis, my eyebrows have still not stopped raising. We'll have to go look for them one day.

Ur-Walder is real? Thats only slightly less ridiculous than the entirety of the horse round.

Here is the best theory ever. Jon Snow wrote the Pink Letter, but not Jon Snow Jon Snow but an alternate personality of Jon who is The Prince that was Promised. In order to make himself go for it, Jon (aka the Prince) wrote the letter, then sent it to himself - and they don't share memories, so Jon does not know that he himself wrote the Pink Letter for himself. Also explains why The Prince has a different writing style than both Jon and Ramsey.

[@Ancor_Vantian]
