Worldbook mentions an ancient city in Essos called Lyber, where a cult devoted to a spider godess was in eternal war with the cult of the serpent god. And among the Rhoynar, Crab King was in eternal war with the giant turtle Old Man of the River. So the ice arthropods are at war with the fire reptiles. The Long Night was ended when CK and OMR made peace and taught the people a secret song to bring about the day; that was the actual Pact, metaphorically speaking.

[@alexandergangaware429]

Just realized that the wildlings attacking the Wall with a "turtle" (fire reptile) was defeated by dropping rocks on it, which means fire moon meteors somehow being used by the Others to stop the Great Empire dragon people, or something

[@DavidLightbringer]

@@alexandergangaware429 lol "..or something." you have no idea how often I want to say that! Usually turtles represent the earth, so dropping rocks on it and burning it, well, moon meteor attack! It also represents the Rhoyne itself, meaning the river, meaning the river of time, meaning the wnnet. So it's more AA attacking the wwnet

[@TheBaronAmaruPhoenix]

Its gets better like the old shows to these like wow

[@wafflingmean4477]

When Varamyr Six-skins died, he for a brief moment seemed to be a part of every tree, every breeze on the wind, if I remember the chapter right. That's when his tie with his body was completely severed. What if it's the reverse for the Others? What if their default is disembodied spirits existing in the trees and the breeze, but no longer the Weirwoods? Maybe for them, they actually have to focus like a skinchanger in order to produce a physical form. And they seem to form it out of ice. Maybe that's why the cold always comes with them. The blizzard isn't conjured by the Others, the blizzard *is* the Others.

[@DavidLightbringer]

Yeah, something like this could definitely be the case. It’s hard to tell whether they’ve been evicted from the net entirely, or just sectioned off in their own cold part. Either way I’m quite sure they will be breaking into the main thing, and making trouble for our greenseers. They could be floating around on the air, that would be much the same as having them reside inside the astral realm during the day. It amounts to much the same thing. I like the comparison to Varamyr, that’s good

[@Musicboxz123]

Honestly when you think about how the Others were created you can call it a "natural disaster" caused by humans when they started to mess with these trees.. and now its coming back for revenge, riding ICE SPIDERS! Thank you, that was amazing \m/

[@stephenlucy9453]

I really like the teleportation idea and think that a really solid theory. While not proof of anything (and as many have pointed out before me) Robin Hobb and GRRM are good friends, share an editor, often run ideas by each other and there are many parallels and similarities in ASOIF and The Farseer Trilogy, and in Hobb's trilogy there's a teleportation method for magic users in her story that in my opinion maps on to what you're suggesting with the Walkers and the Weirwoods acting as a doors quite well Keep up the great work LML, You've been smashing it recently and each new video seems to be better than the last

[@DavidLightbringer]

wow okay that's awesome to hear!

[@harryleggat3068]

1:10:29 This could be echoed in Danny’s ant encounter. It could foreshadow how the others will use the network of Weirwoods scattered across Westeros to quickly travel and invade. Westeros in covered in Weirwoods, and although it’s mainly the north, there are a few scattered among the south in a few key locations. The passage describes the ants (the others) descending from the north, climbing the wall (pretty self explanatory) and biting her all across her body (Westeros), leaving little red marks (Weirwoods). It’s also clear the ants are concentrated around her head (representing the north) and travelling down her neck (there’s a place literally called The Neck), potentially symbolising the others path from the wall, through the north, down the neck to the gods wood.

[@DavidLightbringer]

[@DavidLightbringer]

Thanks John! Appreciate the encouragement

[@ChrisVillagomez]

Absolutely love the theory! When Morgoth returned to destroy the 2 Trees, he had just escaped from imprisonment by the Valar. He met Ungoliant and promised to let her devour whatever she wanted, and that's what she went and did. Because of her gorging on the power in Valinor, Ungoliant grew to an even more monstrous size. While the Elves and the Valar tried to see if the could fix what happened to the 2 Trees Ungoliant and Morgoth fled. Somewhere in the southern wastes of Arda they paused and Ungoliant demanded the gems he'd stolen as payment. He gave them to her, but then she demanded the Silmarils, the greatest gems to ever exist and holding the last light from the 2 Trees. He refused and she attacked him, and when she webbed him he cried out in pain. His Balrogs, which had been hibernating in his fortress Angband at the northern point of Middle-Earth, came to his aid and under their combined strength they drove her away and then escorted Morgoth to Angband. Ungoliant ran off into the south even further where she had many children and then ended up eating herself to sate her unlimited hunger. No one knows what Ungoliant really is because she isn't one of the Valar and they thought that she came from the Void that surrounds Eä, which reminds me of Lovecraft a lot, and that's also where Morgoth was thrown after his final defeat in the First Age.

Great vid, the amount of new n fresh content ur still posting is insane, keep it up, much love👍❤

[@autje1970]

Interesting thoughts, and the Others using the Weirwoods as portals is something I'm down with. Interesting point to ponder: why can Bran (and Bloodraven) use the Weirwoods south of the wall, but the Others can't use them to materialize there? Likely the magic in the Wall, somehow. Also, it would be wild if Bran would also eventually be able to materialize anywhere in front of a Weirwood like this. Who needs legs when you can do that? By the way, there are many spiders that actually hunt (though not in packs, granted). Some of them may even be in your house. Look up crab spiders for instance.

[@DavidLightbringer]

Yeah magic in the Wall is my guess too. And yeah I know there are a few who do hunt. Like the ice spiders hahaha

[@jonhauge-evaldsson783]

Quaith appear in front of Dany. And we think she is doing astral projection with a glass candle. Well, the Weirwoods are like glass candles only more powerful I think. So at least, when Bran is strong enough, he can send his astral body and talk to people even when they are awake. Perhaps. We know greenseers can do it in dreams already.

Totally improbable theory, but similar to the idea of ice spiders being made of bodies, maybe the giant ice spiders could be tree size ice krakens and dog size ice octopuses that’ve crawled up onto the land…

[@DavidLightbringer]

well have you reread that Spider Crab bit from Davos's chapters on Sisterton?

[@chazblank2717]

@@DavidLightbringer ummm… it was definitely an idea that came to mind kinda vaguely through the lens of Patchface riddles in general… 🤷🏼‍♂️ I wrote that totally half asleep, and I’m ashamed to admit but I’m mostly a show and audiobooks guy. Definitely missing a great deal of the intellectual depth not being able to linger with the language as much but I’ve too much nonfiction on my plate at the moment. Rudimentary plumbing and electrical, septic tanks, etc. Building a complex of several small permitless huts off-grid and primarily with recycled and repurposed materials. So I’m left absorbing my recommended daily doses of high fantasy through osmosis these days. Though I am snowed in at the moment so maybe I’ll take another crack at them. Planetos is particularly inspiring to me. My work experience is also primarily in off-grid construction, so felling and bucking trees, the planning and execution of moving giant rocks and starting fires with damp kindling is what I do best. My property is in the northern New Mexican high desert, probably not too far from George (though considerably cheaper). The night sky is on par with rural Afghanistan, you can also see geological time here particularly well, and it’s home to some of the oldest man-made structures in North America. Beyond discrete rent-free housing, my larger goal is to restore the forest. During the last world war, the “whites” came and cut down all the trees to create range space to raise sheep for wool military uniforms…. maybe reaching a bit there for white walker parallels. Anyway, as I mentioned we’ve actually had good snow here (two or three decent storms) since Christmas, so I imagine George is getting work done even if I can’t 😁 In the absence of disposable income I hope my mostly ignorant ramblings at least relate if not actively contribute to the larger conversation. Thank you as always, especially for the direct interaction, you are truly doing the Lords work my friend.

[@Raz-wt5jr]

A bit about mycology that you were so close to and it seems connected to the weirwood and teleportation: a mycorrhizal network is an underground mycelium mat or highway that can transfer water, nutrients including very specific micronutrients, and we're even thinking information to facilitate all this. The largest living thing is one of these mats. They can make larger trees banks of water and nutrients to others trees or plants. It's the basis of one of the Star Trek shows mycelial FTL travel, shouts out to the real life wizard Paul Stamets. Another small thing to maybe have floating in your mind about these networks is they have been shown to use "husbandry" for bacteria, growing very specific ones that help themselves while killing the ones they don't like.

So, I was think, and I'm not sure if you've discussed this or not, but what if the others exist because there aren't enough weirwood trees to hold them. If we want to use the internet metaphor, it's like when a server/website gets too much traffic and it slows down or stops altogether and kicks everyone out. If the others do reside in the trees, then maybe when they were all cutdown, access to the weirwood net got bogged down. I know there's a lot more to consider for something like this, but while watching this video, it's one of the things I couldn't stop thinking about.
