When Hodor controls Bran's movements, Bran is hurt in a doorway. When Bran controls Hodor's movements, Hodor is hurt in a doorway.

[@619Gotenks]

Yikes

[@malovela]

@@619Gotenks Interesting response. :D

[@619Gotenks]

@@malovela haha sorry just the thought of Hodor in that doorway as being "hurt" made me sad

[@malovela]

@@619Gotenks Oh, I see. That's cute. :)

[@loooongneck]

@@malovela”yikes” has picked up like a new slang meaning that basically just means “the thing I just heard was particularly upsetting / unsettling”

[@Darthxim]

Three eyed crow pecks at Bran’s head, to make a hole and unlock magic. Luwin sews up the hole in Bran’s head and denies magic. Old George is doing some symbolism I think.

[@EvelynDayless]

So glad to have more this series is the perfect mix of meandering, stuff I'm interested in, and a deep voice to fall asleep to.

[@njrom]

I assume you probably already are. aware of it, but if not check out Alt Shift zzz

[@EvelynDayless]

@@njrom Yea, I was aware. I like this a little better, but I appreciate that channel too.

[@Hazelcake]

Only schwift can snap me out of a bad train of thought with such eloquence as 'my uncles third eye was on his gooch'

[@theletterm5425]

I may not always get to listen to these right away but it's always a delight when I finally do. Thanks Schwift for providing hours upon hours of entertainment for us. Always looking forward to more ACOK Abridged

[@SoCal818]

Schwifty thinks of "swinging hamster around" before 'building sandcastle' 😶

[@Kriegerdammerung]

HODOR I Day five, I've been carriging this recalcitrant lordling in the back of my basket for seventeen eehh even days since we left the cave and my thighs are aching and nobody has offered to carry the briskets for me, yet I think as I gaze upon the distant horizon what challenges might this new morrow bring and mightn't not. The Bloodraven's true identity henceforth be crucial for the current events in the kingdom. ...

[@tomasvrana920]

Smashing your head on the door ram was tradition for french kings. Therefore it's foreshadowing

[@KlaraL-_-]

This was great! Thank you, Alt! I too would like a chapter from the POV of Hodor. And Manderly is awesome.

[@evancarlson5805]

The stag crown that Joffrey and Tommen wore was badass. I wish we could have seen Robb's bronze and iron crown.

[@alexarias5717]

Alt Shwift bringing up His Dark Materials makes me so happy

[@njrom]

different person, but Alt Shift mentioned some videos coming out on it soon on his channel in his livestream yesterday. Book vs show comparison to be excited for!

[@mehukattti]

lol it sound like "Hizdahr's materials" to me every time :D

[@jinxedsphinx3600]

@@njrom yet he still hasn’t made a video on it :(

[@radostindimitrov586]

Some lovely cok abridgment

[@margaritaquiroga8712]

In this tumultuous world, you give me peace and consistency... I love you dude

[@nononono3421]

That Bloodraven is like "a crow?", it makes no sense to me if they are the same person. It's one thing for the visions to be shaped by one's own consciousness, but with all the corn stuff and flying and such it feels like Bloodraven would know Bran was seeing a crow. I still think Bran will do something Bloodraven absolutely thought was not possible or expected, and this is what will trigger Bran's exit from the cave, a bit like Prometheus stealing the fire of the gods. So the Others going after Bran later would precisely be because Bran will NOT replace Bloodraven, he will NOT be serving the CotF, he won't be seeking to protect the weirwoods, which is what the Others' purpose is. He'll get all the magic and use it for himself. I'm pretty sure D&D didn't finish the story George laid out to them, and that after he becomes king he wargs Drogo and goes to burn all the weirwood.

[@chrystine1er]

At 34:15, so basically if only the world could just embrace the fine art of freestyle battling, we’d all be in a much better place...RESPECT.

[@btarczy5067]

What if you come up with just one very elaborate bucket idea? Ever considered that, mister psychologist? Because I think that bucket experiment spawned the entire Star Wars universe, built around a big bucket that Padme falls into.

[@michaelalan6459]

Since apparently Bran becoming king is from GRRM maybe he really does drive Areys mad just to set in motion a series of events killing thousands, maybe millions where he will eventually be crowned.

[@JJ__]

Oops! All Hodors

[@evasofia7142]

this made me so happy!!!!!

[@dragonrider4339]

Winds of Hodor 😂😂😂😂 that would be awesome..

[@Luminousreign]

The three eyed crow and bloodraven are obviously different, we literally see it this chapter. E eyed crow is the collective in the trees/old guys. Bloodraven is hooked up to the trees and lost past the point of dying so they are no longer entirely distinct either.

[@aysecan333]

we missed u schwift

[@faisalkamal4319]

It would be cool like Hodor trying to communicate but only Hodor comes out it's because in the show there's different infliction of hodor

[@daemoniiiblackfyre5296]

Ive heard the last scene is gonna be jon with some line benjen said about direwolves in book one & with ghost finally howling

[@Kriegerdammerung]

The Hodor phylosophical king cracked me up 😂

[@MrFirecasters]

ph*i*losophical

[@jolinefields3460]

Just enjoyed a relisten of this great podcast and as random thoughts on one more thing tho it’s pretty clear that curtosey is is often just thinly veiled and not genuine expression of emotion to talk with some civility among the people but also in those moments when a character is acting on their emotions by reflex or choice people (Bran) gets seriously hurt ex) Hodors charge towards hot bread in kitchen bangs Brans head on doorway, and Jaimes “the things I do for love” tossing Bran out tower window out of prioritizing his relationship with Cersei…idk if that’s anything just happened to notice this time

[@manicpixelgirl]

6:36 is the best

[@lizasanders4511]

I have missed this

[@crystalk7479]

1:18 "forrid" is an accepted pronounciation. And don't let anyone tell you otherwise 😉

[@nononono3421]

I don't think the writer was told the last line of the books, from what I recall he wanted to take a line out and George said to keep it because it would come back at the end, as in it's going to be meaningful towards the end of the story, which for George could be anywhere in the last 500 pages of the last book for all we know.

[@faisalkamal4319]

Magic and politics do not mix Targaryens- are you sure about that

[@DerFrischkopf]

have you even tried milk and sardines?

[@Erox006]

987 times, He said the word LIKE 987 times

[@radostindimitrov586]

You have that as a percentage? cus he said a lot of words

[@MrFirecasters]

You counted?

[@OSNINETYFIVE]

If this isn’t longer than audio book I’ll be disappoint 🤓

[@faisalkamal4319]

You can do it in parts so you can go as many tangents as you want

[@charlesharleson4743]

Nice!

[@asorlokirunarsson9864]

It sure must be frustrating to tie your shoelaces when you are paralyced. Maybe someone should give bran some sweet slippers or woolly socks. He is not going to do much walking

[@vishalkrishna6344]

About fucking time.

Is this how you behave at twins They looked civilized after the red wedding
