Out of a lot of the people I've come across on the internet, no one's mind intrigues as much as yours does. That is why I want to share these things with ya.

[@DavidLightbringer]

thanks Matt, I definitely know that there is a lot of occult and tarot ideas in ASOIAF...

[@mattduke4359]

@@DavidLightbringer Oh, even the most genius of ASOIAF analyzers are only beginning to scratch at the surface. GRRM knows more than you'd think, it may seem tinfoil at first, but soon you'll see that it's silver, amber, diamond and labradorite.

[@Djynni]

I don't know what took me so long to think of this, but after listening to LML for so long it just occurred to me: no wonder it is taking GRRM so long to write these books! LML is finding so much symbolism and parallels in these books that seem so purposeful. It seems like they can't be accidents. So I have to imagine how much time and care it takes GRRM to implant all that into his books. Its not like regular fiction writing where the author doesn't have to stop every other sentence, or go back over every sentence, so they can make sure the words are exactly what will draw a parallel to a passage they wrote 3 books ago!

[@stars-and-clouds]

it's interesting bc it seemed as the books went on the longer it took him to release the next book

[@irishpotatothief531]

Exactly. Id rather get one amazing book every decade than a substandard book every year, these stories have gotten insanely detailed and articulated. I do expect dream of spring to take less time than WOW because itll be wrapping up stories, and POV characters are gonna get merked left right and center

[@armandoarmijo9010]

Like Martin said him “im more of a fade wr when it comes to writing.” Martin takes his time. I’m thankful for that. Yes, I grow impatient. I’m sure we all do. However, I’m anxious to read martins depiction of Jon and dany’s ending. The ending of the show wasn’t satiable nor was it even a bit satisfying. So, I’m hopeful to see what Martin will do. I know his writing will be much better, and it’s worth the wait.

[@thelateescapist8266]

When the show was on a lot of people speculated that Bran would warg a Dragon but I suspect if anyone's warging a Dragon in the books it'll be Jon. If he's gonna ride a Dragon he must first form a bond with it. And as a skinchanger he is capable of warging an animal that he has a bond with.

[@irishpotatothief531]

And if R+L=J (it does), he has dragon blood and can connect with them in ways other skin changers cant

[@Sheija]

And his skinchanging magic will be stronger (I think) post resurrection.

[@A_Black_Sheep94]

Literally everyone who has ever riden a dragon wargs with the dragon its the only thing that makes sense at all. They dragons always know exactly what their riders want to do without any sort of vocal command whatsoever. The times when the dragons are disobedient or fly their owner off to some random place the rider obviously wasn't able to warg with the dragon for whatever reason, maybe the dragon resists idk, or they were mentally unable to successfully warg at the time. I just don't think it makes sense at all for someone to ride a dragon in ASOIF without warging the dragon.

[@thelateescapist8266]

@@A_Black_Sheep94 I hear what you're saying, and it makes a lot of sense, but there appears to be a small yet significant difference between warging and the dragon bond. Wargs or skin changers, not only control their animals, they experience their animals thoughts and perspective, and can even take conscious control of their bodies. It's a two way psychic link. The dragon bond appears to be one way. While it's clear that the dragons can sense and be influenced by the intentions and emotions of their riders, I can't recall seeing evidence of the opposite, as we've seen with the Stark kids. However I could be wrong. The only dragon rider who's a pov character in the books is Daenerys, and I don't think she's fully bonded with Drogon, as he clearly isn't subject to her will. Maybe in TWOW when Daeny fully bonds with Drogon she'll experience a two way link more akin to that between the Stark kids and their wolves. But based on what we've seen so far, the dragon bond doesn't appear to be quite the same as warging, albeit clearly similar.

[@robindavisduckworth8992]

Maybe the night king wars into Bran and ends up being the one who sits on the throne and nobody suspects, they think they killed him. Just a thought.

[@rociomiranda5684]

It certainly makes sense that Dany liberates the undead who are captive to the White Walkers. Her mission is to free those who are enslaved. I love your videos. They are based on careful reading and analysis. If Martin never finishes, I'll go with your interpretation.

[@A_Black_Sheep94]

I highly doubt the Wights are sentient or contain a soul to be free. They're most likely robot like moved by magic.

[@catherinehalverson1436]

I do think there’s foreshadowing for a romance between Jon and Dany - ie everything you’ve noted, plus Dany’s recurring faceless dream lover.

Definitely should explore Hekate mythos if you get time. In her Psychopomp role, leading Persephone out of the caves of Hades she is bringing the return of spring to Earth. Shes also associated with Dragons and serpents. On another note I just heard about an ancient warrior queen called Dihya al Kahina who fought the Arab Muslim invasion of what is now the region of Morocco and is said to have used fire scouring against her enemies. Really interesting if you get the time to explore.

[@thelemmiebee]

Coming at us again with some great symbolism and weaving it all together. I agree wholeheartedly with what you're saying... Daenerys is the hero and she will literally free the world by freeing the trapped spirits in the North before the long Dark could overtake everything. It's her destiny. Perfect ending for the character, and as you've shown us this is almost certainly where it's going. Also side note, Jon and Ghost merging into one being when he is resurrected, sacrificing Ghosts physical body (Mythras and the White Bull), that's beautiful. Great discussion LML. You never disappoint.

When Ghost and Jon merge, would he remember what Ghost did in the time they were apart? Ghost took seemingly a long time to get back to Castle Black, perhaps Bloodraven or the Cold Hands used him for something in that meanwhile.

[@DavidLightbringer]

I would think so, yeah. I hadn’t thought of that

[@SunScourge]

For Dany and Ghost mirroring, Ghost was also the lost runt of the litter initially, having crawled away or being pushed away. I was aware of the colours mirroring but finding out everything else also lines up so well is very cool. Hah, Dany claiming the wights for her own and marching them on the rest of Westeros XD All hail the fiery Night's Queen! But seriously, our new Amethyst Empress undoing the fuckery of the original Bloodstone Emperor would be all kinds of dope :D Fiery Blood Vengeance for the original Blood Betrayal. Thanks for all you do LmL, I'm really enjoying these long theory vids. I'm a sucker for symbolism and yet wasn't even aware of just how much there is in ASOIAF!

[@A_Black_Sheep94]

Somehow I doubt it's achievable to completely fix how much the Dawn Empire and the Valayrians fucked the world. They'll probably defeat the others and save the world for a while but they'll be back eventually.

15:55 “Poetic and romantic and sad, pretty cool.” That is an understatement. The idea of Dany rising into the sky, floating with the stars, swimming in the greensea/weirwoodnet.

28:00 the most fantastical element of the show was the nightking throwing what appeared to be a heavy infantry spear farther than we saw even scorpions fire bolts. With that level of strength he'd be on par with at least Thor. The spear had no deviation or arc and flew straight ahead like a missile. If they actually followed through on blood moon they would've had to explain him as being the chosen of the spear god or something when he was still living. Even Irish kern darts only had a range of a couple hundred meters.

And you are right, the Dany Mad Queen thing really is a show only thing. Re reading the book, you see all the nuances of her character and really discover that her prime motivation is helping others (not the Others.) In the show, when she did a badass ultimately good thing, she usually just looked badass or even vengefull, deprived of all her inner thoughts from the books, she sometimes seemed to enjoy her rightfull killings. Take the Astapor scene for instance. In theb ooks it's on at least 2 whole chapters I think, and the killing of the master is the culmination of a lot of plans and feelings. She really suffers when she sees the horror of slavery. While in the show, even if it still is a cool scene, she might appear cold and conquering. Sorry for spaming lol

[@swayback7375]

That’s assuming that The Others are NOT slaves themselves… they might be slaves tho… what’s more likely to me is that the wights are slaves, I’d say that much is certain, they’re clearly not enjoying themselves and just like slaves they seem to have no agency and are doomed to never rest. Just like all the slaves that she’s freed thru her story it’s going to be essential for her to release them from bondage. I’d actually argue that the house of the undying is a prison for for the shadow bound souls of the others, they’ve waited 1000 years for her… because they know she was the only one who could free them… by destroying them or their prison. Had they been left then they’d still be trapped there after the wall goes down and their physical form is destroy… their soul would still be trapped and used as a power source for evil .

[@A_Black_Sheep94]

Nah Dany has shown bits and pieces of madness from the start of the series. I doubt it'll be like in the show but the road to hell is paved with good intentions and I'm pretty sure Danys on that road.

[@Sinfjotli22]

You mentioned the weirwood organism at the night fort, why would such a door be necessary? The night's king wouldn't have needed it, and based off of Coldhands' interaction with Sam and gilly the night's queen isn't able to use it. Also, could this be the passage under the wall that gendel and gorne used? Black brothers defecting to the wildlings is definitely a thing. Do you think the door has some greater significance on the story, more than just admitting Bran through the wall?

[@DavidLightbringer]

I tend to think so, but I don't know what it is. What I do think is that that weirwood organism is so unique and magical that it seems likely that the Nightfort was built around the weirwood, and possible even the Wall too.

[@Sinfjotli22]

@@DavidLightbringer Hm, predating the wall doesn't make much sense to me. Being planted/ created at the same time as the wall, maybe even as the magical link or source of magical protection that the wall provides I think would be more likely. Thanks for the content, gets the brain juices flowing.

[@user-ln7jw2qn6h]

When you were explaining the symbolism of Longclaw and the wolf (pommel) swallowing the dragon (the blade) Longclaw took on an even more comet like form to me. For one, the core of a comet is ICE, among other things. So the pale stone pommel (The Wolf/Ghost) is the head or nucleus of the comet and the black dragon blade (Jon) is the tail. The tail always extends away from the sun, or in Jon's case, the Son.

[@DavidLightbringer]

Too right! It is a great comet image... but of course. :)

[@worldwidewarrior2043]

@Lucifer Means Lightbringer - The prologue to ADWD tells us that warging into animals when your life is threatened (got to be foreshadowing Jon into Ghost and Dany into Drogon or Viserion as escape plan B) is possible and the powerful imagery of the HotU and several other 'burn baby burn' scenes, set to an almost pounding drum n bass beat (blue throbbing heart, Unsullied spears pounding on the ground, writhing and dying in dance throes - why it's a good ol' disco inferno!), clearly sets up the staging of the final countdown at the HoW. Quaithe is hell bent on hammering into Dany, (I'm allowed symbology too!) "remember the Undying" over and over, again, like a musical beat, and her warnings - “Hear me...the glass candles are burning. Soon comes the pale mare, and after her the others. Kraken and dark flame, lion and griffin, the sun's son and the mummer's dragon. Trust none of them. Remember the Undying. Beware the perfumed seneschal...Remember the Undying...remember who you are." Holy smokin' Batman! That's a lot of poking and prodding to get into Dany's head - reminding her of the burning of the blue winter heart (symbology of the yet to be declared Night or Night's King - the Kraken with his dark flame?), watch out for the grabbing, grasping, groping dead hands overwhelming you - warg into a dragon! Her only escape it seems. The pale mare, a reference to Melisandre? Quaithe warns Dany of the others (Dany doesn't seem to question the reference, though she should know of the Others) Lion and griffin - Cersei? but the griffin, who is that referring to, part lion, part bird. Sun's son referring to either Rhogo's blood sacrifice, or Doran Martell's son, Quentyn. The mummer's dragon...who is that? Bran could well be the third of the three headed dragon, given the symbology of the wight attack outside the 3 eyed crow's cave, with wights rising out of the snow, arms and hands, again, grabbing, grasping, groping...Bran warging into Hodor and saved by a tree-full of snow burying him. Bran, as a greenseer, matches Rhaegal's coloring as a green dragon and ties perfectly in with 3EC's "you will fly" prophetic statement - warging into a dragon! Drogon fits more with Jon's coloring, as you pointed out, even though Dany favors him, but Viserion's coloring definitely matches Dany's. The symbology fits, 3 magical people, tied to the dragons, tied to the HofW, fire and ice, wights and others, burning inferno and melting ice zombies. I think Melisandre is connected to Ghost, just by having the same coloring, even down to the red eyes, high body temperature and their silent staring demeanour (into the flames). Quaithe tells it all, and is Dany's real war councilor and is by far the most reliable and trusted source of what's to come. from Lucette Angel of Light, the World Wide Warrior, Keeper of Cleos and Captain of the Kooky Burrow!

It's awesome how you're consistently making new and interesting content from the same books that were out for years. I can't wait to see what you come up with the Winds of Winter comes out!

Did the Others get affected by Drogon burning the corrupt blue heart in the house of the undying? On a side thought, were the house of the undying working with the Bloodstone Emperor in the event that currupted the city of Asshai and launched the long night?

All I need is that when Jon is brought back, whether it be through R’lor magic or *other* magic, his hair is turned silver white

Fantastic discussion. Obligatory comment. Thanks again!

Man my eyes lit up when you said the bit about the white bull

[@glencoewhite6939]

I really appreciate the bold theories. Some of the symbolism you claim seems a bit ‘out there’ for me. But I love the speculation all the same.

[@hinakhodiyara7883]

Nice one. Appreciate the depth and humour. Thanks.

I really like the idea of Dothraki as 🐎 skin changers in a symbolic sense. People who identify with horses, eat 🐴 hearts for strength, bond with horses, they should be horse skin changers, even if it's only in the sense that Arya was becoming a faceless man by not bitinn her lip.

Remember, Lyanna was "half a horse, herself."
