Mystery at Ashford Meadow ft. Something to Taco Bout! - ASOIAF Theories

[@kendallbabbitt1532]

It actually took blood Raven two times to kill the prince that morning. The first time he mist

[@bronhaller]

I would normally grab my books to read along but had a house fire a few months ago and have only just gotten a computer and started listening to KZbin again... so excited to see Nerds and Taco in one video, but it just made me realise how many books I don't have any more 😢

[@irishpotatothief531]

Taco made us proud today. Theory crafter extraordinaire

[@obviousalias132]

Duncan the Small was the Prince of Dragonflies as he gave up his inheritance and title Prince of Dragonstone. I don’t think Daeron had a sobriquet/moniker.

[@MrCaptaincupcakeful]

The Taken joke was funny :)

[@bronhaller]

Maybe Bloodraven was a Shadowbinder like Melisandre, using Shadows to kill Baelor?

[@deityjc]

21:50 You can tell Bloodraven just isn't used to working with people on the caliber of Dunk's intelligence 🤣 Edit: I low-key straight up thought "Brynden was the mace!" the second y'all started suggesting he was the mist.

[@Rougarou99]

I’ve never seen Bloodraven and that specific mace in the same place at the same time.

[@Rougarou99]

Bloodraven: “I have crossed oceans of time to find you.” Bran: “…I’m literally a neurodivergent minor.”

Maynard Plumm is my fav character in dunk and egg

[@rosstemby1347]

Read brans dream chapter again and see if you can find find Bloodraven. Hint, he’s not the crow.

No bat emojis, but please do the ASOIAF universal monsters scavenger hunt in a future video. How many of each universal monster can you find?

Best bingo ever is Mexican beachfront bar family bingo night, every Tuesday in the little coastal town where my sister and her fam live. Kids and dogs are welcome, and the caller is kind enough to do it all in Spanish and English for those of us who are turistas visiting. Prizes range from plates of nachos to shots of tequila, and the kids all sit up front and get super competitive. One time when I was there, my bro-in-law kept winning tequila shots, and the local cops had a standoff with some cartel guys just outside while the game went on. It was amazing. I recommend it highly, especially after a few margaritas!

Yea-nope…

"Is there precedent in this series of element possession?" Like... snow? Or fire? Or glass crystals? Or trees? Or water?

[@MoonManTheories]

or disembodied consciousness?

And Tormund says "How do you fight a mist, crow?" to Jon. Bloodraven doesn't have a body he can use anymore, but, he can still turn into mist!!! Freezing mist, far in the north.

[@angelajansons9037]

And what powers did Sauron famously have? Vampire, werewolf... Bloodraven is Sauron explains a LOT. The deceiver, the manipulator, the mastermind behind the throne. He's probably the one who cursed the throne, too.

[@trisarathops]

Bloodraven turned into and controlled the fart-clouds that came out of Septon What's-his-name

[@JP-wn1qr]

The Others bring the cold & can disperse into mist, whilst Bloodraven brings the fog/mist...

[@MoonManTheories]

"She heard Renly begin a jest, his shadow moving, lifting its sword, black on green, candles guttering, shivering, something was queer, wrong, and then she saw Renly's sword still in its scabbard, sheathed still, but the shadowsword . . ." "Through the blood-spattered sandsilk, she glimpsed shadows moving." "... in Asshai, while shadowbinders and bloodmages worked terrible sorceries in the black of night." Transferred, preserved, and based on the above I would say *disembodied* consciousness is an important recurrent factor in the story. Who can say whether what Catelyn seems to describe as an invisible human figure casting a shadow on a tent wall in candlelight would not be interpreted by someone else as a light mist if described directly? Or if seen in different lighting conditions? Or, even if a very different visible apparition, who can say whether the difference between near invisibility and a light mist is not a matter of talent, practice, or even a fundamentally different technique for manipulating a universal reality of the possibility for consciousness to be disembodied and yet interact with the physical? In any case, Martin's references to Bloodraven possibly having Dracula-like powers are straightforward. At the very least, the esteemed Mr. Taco has certainly identified in the further mist references surrounding him a deliberate design by our author to make us wonder whether Brynden can simply 'skinchange' another's body with his consciousness (a la Bran or Varamyr), or actually cause his consciousness to walk the land as a light fog, or both. As with so many things he gives us multiple plausible explanations. Not the least of which, and the most important for making his work so thrilling and enjoyable on a first read is that Maekar's description of the fight to Dunk is fully believable to us and our hero. The character has possibly experienced a strange phenomenon and yet assimilated it in a way that is tragic and affecting on first read, and even later when picking it apart and suspecting foul play, we don't think he's stupid for not getting it. I'm very open to Bloodraven's body being safe in his tent under guard while his mind stalks the tourney grounds as vapor. I would submit the disembodied consciousness angle as more likely than actual transmogrification of his body into mist. A fun adaptation of a gothic horror element into the psychic world of the Song. Bravo.
