Hello everyone! I've been getting into a lot of ASOIAF Theories lately, and wanted to give my opinion on a bunch of them quite quickly. What do you think? Is there anything I missed? What do you think of #houseofthedragon so far? Be sure to leave a comment, as well as like the video and subscribe if you enjoy. I'd love to hear your favorite theories, as well as whether or not you agree with me!
(Disclaimer: This isn't EVERY ASOIAF theory, but it's a very large number of them and I thought that title was catchy. I may rank more in the future!)

UnTommen is another candidate for the Valonqar. The theory goes that after dying either Tommen becomes a wight if the White Walkers ever get far enough south, or that Qyburn revives him on Cersei's orders. Then, the undead Tommen fulfills the prophecy by killing Cersei. It fits the language of the prophecy better than any other candidate, since the prophecy is discussing Cersei's children at that point (Gold shall be their crowns and gold their shrouds. And when your tears have drowned you, the Valonqar shall wrap his hands about your pale white throat and choke the life from you), but other than that there isn't much to go on. I like it though.

When they say "Bloodraven is going after Bran's body", I think they're wording it wrong. They're not talking about just possessing him physically; as you said, there's a bunch of far more mobile people around that he could mindsteal. Instead, the Theory is that Bran's potential actually surpasses Bloodraven's. While Bran is not yet more powerful, he has far more natural ability and will one day be the superior greenseer. I think this is incredibly likely; Bran is only 9 years old, and is already incredibly advanced. By contrast, Bloodraven is fairly well mentioned, and we have no evidence that he started having this kind of power at any point leading up to the Blackfyre Rebellions, or even after. There *is* the "Thousand Eyes and One" thing which I do think could hint to him starting to have some skinchanging ability, but he would not be able to skinchange peopl, and I don't think he was advanced because with how nosy people are in Kings Landing, if he was overly powerful they would have noticed. Which means in my opinion he did not truly blossom until he went beyond the Wall. But regardless, the theory says that Bran will be the superior greenseer. Brynden is not just looking to steal Bran's body, he's looking to "absorb" him, for lack of a better word. He will take Bran's body as his own and join it to the tree (wherein mobility won't matter anyway) and will use Bran's potential with his own experience to become incredibly powerful. Bran will thus either be annihilated, or will be forced to the very depths of his mind (narrative link to Bran himself doing this to Hodor despite recognising how deeply uncomfortable it makes Hodor) and has to fight back to get Control.

Also I don't think it's Bloodraven who wants to occupy his body, it's the Hive mind of the weirwoods and the Children of the Forest who serve it. Honestly, if that's the case they will probably prefer sickly/crippled people. By the way, has anyone ever wonder how Bloodraven ended up there, tied to the tree? Those motherf***rs abducted him, I am pretty sure of it, they were calling him through dreams and once there they took him. I can't believe anyone would chose to stay there tied to a tree, but well that's just me.

Then in the Cersei POV chapters she serves Taena Merryweather and other political players arbor gold, and Taena is nearly always lying to her.

A theory I came up with myself is that Lann the Clever was a dwarf. Lann and Tyrion are both Lannister tricksters and both really clever, so it parallels the two. Also, being a little person is sometimes genetic, so it would show that the Lannister’s have that gene. Lastly, it creates an interesting wrinkle with Tywin, despising Tyrion because he’s a monster and no true Lannister, despite the fact that (if my theory is true) Tyrion would be closer to a real Lannister than Tywin.

So Jacquen does take credit for it when talking to Aria, however, it seems like this is almost a secret not known amongst a wide amount of people. An external group also determined that the most likely cause was the death of many fire mages. These same fire mages prophesized that the gold of casterly rock would lead to the doom. Prophecies can often be self-fulfilling, so the valyrians never took money from the Lannisters. Despite the Lannisters offering them quite a large sum of it for a valyrian steel blade. However, we know that the Lannister still ended up with of valyrian steel blade within 100 years before the doom. We know that the faceless men take longer amounts of time for higher profile targets, and what's a higher profile target than an entire nation. Let alone the most powerful nation on the planet. So, who hired the faceless men? It would need to be someone who could reforge valyrian steel, have a storage of the stuff and distaste for dragons/magic. They would also need to know the lannisters wanted a blade. Who else do we know very likely killed the targeryon dragons? The maesters. Marwin tells us that they killed all the dragons, perhaps he ment more than just the targeryon dragons.

Bloodraven being the three-eyed crow is an issue because Bran asks him if he is and Bloodraven ignores him as if he didn't understand the question. One possibility is that Bloodraven doesn't know what shape he takes in Bran's dreams. Another possibility is that time-travelling Bran is the three-eyed raven. Bran seems to get different dreams with different patterns, so it's possible that they're from different people.

On the Cersei poisoning Joffery theory. I have thought that a possibility for a while, and it's a case of "unreliable narrator". As she is so egotistical and unhinged, Cersei blames Tyrion for Joff's death because it should have been him dying instead (before tasting his own slice of pie, Joffery jams his fingers into Tyrion's slice and eats some of it). Her hubris is so extreme that she can't fault herself for the error, it's Tyrion's fault for not eating his pie before Joffery had a chance to touch it. However, there are too many things indicating a group effort incorporating the all important hairnet and amethysts. Also, George being somewhat of a hippy feminist vibes well with Olenna the aged woman being the one getting her hands dirty in the murder.

I really think that the theory around 'ASOI&F is scifi post-apocolypse' is just nuts. It's a clear 'Absolutely not', there is definitely examples of fiction where that *is* the case, but it is evident in how certain aspects of the fantasy operate. Technology *looks* like technology. We never see a red priest pull out a magic stethoscope before reviving them, and the dragons are pretty clearly flesh and blood creatures that have existed for a long time (long enough that their bones have been fossilized). If there was an intent to have the series be set in a distant post-apocalypse, there would be more clear signs and hints of that. It seems far more likely that this is just a low-fantasy setting that takes place on a timeline where magic has its ups and downs in popularity/accessibility.

My personal favorite theory is Stannis wrote the pink letter to get Jon and the Free Folk to fight for him. Once Jon deserts his choice is to fight for Stannis or die, going back isn't an option. Stannis has wanted Jon as his Lord of Winterfell to rally the North behind for a long time, he also has no reason to believe there's an alternate play that gives him the North with Rickon and Bran believed to be dead. He has all the information and some sort of motive. I don't think Jon dying was his plan but maybe he left Melisandre behind for a reason. Even if Ramsey had caught Mance the likelihood of him also catching all six (Or at least knowing about all six) of the free folk woman sent with him in such a such a short time is incredibly slim. Mance it really doesn't make sense for it to be him unless it's at least under Stannis' direct instruction.

He has no reason to believe Rickon is alive and Arya is believed to be Lady Bolton now so she's not a reliable FF figurehead.

New subscriber here. I really liked your tier list and actually agree with most of your choices. Something strange that I don't see people bring up about Syrio Forel is why was he in King's Landing at all? It's mere days after Arya talked to her father about swordsmanship that he became her instructor. So he must have been around before then. I can't help wonder why. It may support the Syrio = Jaquen theory though. We still don't know why Jaquen was even in the black cells.

If not, why's he in the west slumming as some barbarian girl's private tutor? Jaquen being in the dungeons is pretty sus too. Getting caught at murder seems pretty amateurish for a professional magical assassin. If Jaquen is Syrio though, that means he was there for Arya all along, but why? So many questions...

I'm an N+A=J fan and I think R+L=J would have just as easily been given away in Ned's PoV chapters. Him not calling Jon his nephew at some point whenever he thinks of him or of his sister is hard to imagine for me. Especially when he hasn't thought of Rhaegar in years, which would be odd if Jon's his son. The only time he thinks of Rhaegar is when he's with Robert and we can assume the last time he saw him was during the Iron Islands Rebellion, which happened about 7/8 before the first book, which would be counted as years and therefore, only whenever he sees Robert. You'd think he'd think of Rhaegar a lot if Jon was his son.

Renly falls, Stannis accepts their surrender and fealty, and they confide in Selyse about their contribution for favour.

After rereading Dance with Dragons last year, I feel like I had an epiphany after reading the prologue. I used to be 100% sure that Jon was going to get resurrected in the next book. But I now think that the ADWD prologue is straight up foreshadowing what will happen to Jon; in his last dying moments he warged into ghost. I mean Jon’s direwolf is named “Ghost”. It all just makes so much sense. Jon will not get resurrected because his consciousness never died, only his body did. However it he will probably slowly forget himself as that’s what happens when you’re warged too long.

I agree with the majority of your thoughts on these various theories. There are just a few that I think are unlikely that you felt were possible. It is interesting that the theories about the Pink Letter include just about every potentially good suspect. InDeepGeek has a good video that debunks the idea of Jaqen being Syrio. He is really good at laying out whether various theories are true or not through a very logical perspective. I do think that several aspects of the television show influenced peoples thoughts on that particular one. Just like the people who thought that Jon Snow and Meera Reed could be siblings. This was primarily based on the fact that the two actors had similarly colored and curly hair! Which is a very silly thing to base a theory on IMO. It is interesting how the television show influenced a number of people about book theories. I do think that Jaqen does show back up in the prologue to Feast as the Alchemist. And I do like another InDeepGeek theory that wasn’t included on your list. He believes that Ashara Dayne married Howland Reed and is probably living at Greywater Watch. He lays this out by looking at the story of the Knight of the Laughing Tree as a “how I met your mother” story that Howland told his children. I recommend that video for anyone who wants to know more about the details of that idea.

At this point, I think JonCon’s greyscale will spread rapidly over his body as he gives in to madness. And in order to save his city and his kingdom, Faegon hugs JonCon to calm him down, knowingly dooming himself to greyscale in the process. Tears stream down Faegon’s face, the dampness letting greyscale get a foothold in the trails they leave. “Father, please, don’t do this.” JonCon raised Faegon as his own. It’s only fitting that he sees him as a father. In the end, love is not the death of duty. Faegon fulfills his duty by expressing his love for his father. But that’s just a theory.

Not sure if GRRM is going to go through with it now), and Aerys + Joanna = Jaime and Cersei. I think that last one makes a lot of thematic sense.

My main reasoning for Dany not going mad is because I think there’s a better candidate. I actually talk about this in a video I’m releasing tomorrow, but I think JonCon is going to go crazy when he hears the bells (due to his PTSD from the Battle of the Bells) and end up burning the city with wildfire.

@@QuinnTheGM I'll check that out. And yeah, I think that's likely. I guess my point is that Dany is gonna become a "bad guy." She might not go "mad," and it might not be related to "bells," but she's gonna go bad. At least, I'm pretty sure that was the original intent. No telling what's going to happen now given the strong fan backlash to the final season of GoT.

I always thought that was the plan, but over a period of time through mistrust and paranoia like her father. Not snapping when hearing bells on arrival at King's Landing.

Here is the thing about the Valonqar being Jamie that I NEVER see people mention. Why would George go out of his way to make sure we know that JAMIE WAS BORN AFTER CERSEI. It is enough to say they are twins, but it is specifically mentioned that he came AFTER she did. He is her "little brother" by just a fraction of time.

I don't get the "Varys shaves his head to hide his Targarien features", he is Lyseni (at least supposedly), those features are common there, even with the commonfolk

I think Tyrion is part Targaryan. He spoke about always reading about and being facinated about dragons. He is the least Lannister-like of the family. Tywin always doubts he is his. I always thought he was the 3rd head of the dragon along with Dani and Jon.

I actually think we will get more info on the doom. If arya stays at the house of black and white, I bet she’ll get more expo on it.

Aria is dead and the faceless god is controlling her. She drank the koolaid, the waif was a figment of her imagination.

As I understand it, UnTommen is the theory that Tommen will die and be resurrected by Qyburn at Cersei's behest, and the tie-in to it is the idea that Tommen is the Valonqar and his reanimated body will kill her
