The Blood of the Other: A Prelude to a Chill

[@sabrinakrisb4672]

Love what you said about George wanting us to question how and who is telling the story

[@joshowoh9072]

I love going back David your content is so rewatchable, and so dense, I always find something new, much love

[@TheOnlyFin]

"Pause the video and watch 1-5 of..." Damn it LML, I just wanted to hear you confirm a theory I had when I first read the books and now I need to jump all the way into the rabbit hole to get the most out of it? Well fine! I'll be back in a few days or a week. (I'm really not perturbed, your content is great.)

[@Misskittyclimber]

Some of this older stuff is content GOLD

[@Dani_1012]

I love his older theories too, especially the intro song

[@emiliocamachoerice6380]

We have collected all the artifacts to finally summon our dark Lord and savior LML back into this plane of existence

[@Royges]

I was getting desperate already.

[@emiliocamachoerice6380]

Gerardo Ponce I was thinking of doing more sacrifices, but LML has his own life

[@lady_wasser]

Emilio I can always sacrifice my nosy neighbors if needed...It is known!

[@jojoladydayne7311]

Still chuckling at the music 💜 Other evidence that the Nightfort predates the wall, is that the steps there go up the side of the castle & not up the Wall like they do at all the other Forts. Edit: the steps are cut into the ice of the wall - which is different to all the other forts which have wooden steps attached.

[@DavidLightbringer]

JoJo Lady Dayne are you talking book or show?

[@jojoladydayne7311]

Book - so checked my notes - my mistake - the steps are actually cut into the ice of the wall rather rather than the wall itself which could still be evidence - as it seems that it is the only castle where this is the case which makes it different. I'll find the reference for you.

[@jojoladydayne7311]

Right - here you go - ' He remembered Maester Luwin saying the Nightfort was the only castle where the steps had been cut from the ice of the Wall itself. Or maybe it had been Uncle Benjen. The newer castles had wooden steps, or stone ones, or long ramps of earth and gravel. Ice is too treacherous. It was his uncle who’d told him that. He said that the outer surface of the Wall wept icy tears sometimes, though the core inside stayed frozen hard as rock. The steps must have melted and refrozen a thousand times since the last black brothers left the castle, and every time they did they shrunk a little and got smoother and rounder and more treacherous.' BRAN IV ASOS It definitely marks out the Nightfort as different from the others imo. I will edit my original comment to reflect this so people don'y take my ramblings as fact!

I haven't listened to the entire post yet, but I'm already sooo happy to hear you bring up bael the bard.

[@DavidLightbringer]

flora Oddchild oh Jesus we are going to Bael soooo hard next episode.

[@pskrrt]

fine, I i pressed pause and listened to the entire moons of ice and fire playlist... now I'm back. But, whatever I do what I want...

[@KatAdVictoriam]

Yes! Great to relax and ponder to at the end of the day. One of my favorite topics is the blood connection to the Starks. I am looking forward to more in this series.

[@aryahavinfun5682]

I sense a tie-in somehow between Monster & Ramsey Bolton.... I kinda sorta hope I'm wrong..., in any case, I'm so glad to hear your voice again LML, you're such a wondrous ASOIAF mindbender! Thanx for all the amazing & clever hypothesizing you do for us!

[@fakearya9158]

Thank you for that intro music! I was like...what is this, it's taking me back!? Freaking Monty Python. Love it. I hope you expand on little Monster in the next video! He must be very important! The one that got away...perfect. 👍

[@DavidLightbringer]

Erin P lots of expanding coming up later today... ice does expand after all!

[@TYTfan]

I was feeling a little down today, this is a nice break from my own head. Thanks, I was missing your content!

[@michaeltavizon8333]

Still rewatching still binging 🎉🎉🎉

[@lady_wasser]

LML, just liked it before watching it ! It's going to be great, Thank you!

[@MagiTailWelkin]

Music begins. "Lucifer mean Lightbringer presents..." Me: The Castle Aarrgh

[@eccemono6534]

Came for the theorizing, stayed for the Patron nicknames and weird music.

[@rheeventures8144]

Perfect theme music! I dig it 😎🔥 Sooo excited for this series! Gonna be great as Always!

[@DavidLightbringer]

did you like your nickname?

[@howardbiel1958]

Lol. Love the opening music! Very epic. Good job.

[@wanderingseth]

Really? Almost made me close the video.

[@PabloAlvestegui]

Yes!!!!!! I have been expecting this for soooo long. Thanks lml ;)

[@btaybreadtastic]

And here I was listening to old Weirwood Compendium stuff when this pops. We are the knights who don't say anything as we're really icy shadows.

[@btaybreadtastic]

Muahahahaha oh the end of that was pure glory.

[@TheInfamousThey305]

LML, I have a quick question. Do you think GRRM really put so much mythology into ASOIAF or do you feel as though you overanalyze some things? It's a legit question and in no way am I trying to say you're wrong. I just love your theories and if George really put this much thought into his books, it's mind blowing. To make so many connections to mythology like that is pretty amazing to me.

[@renaigh]

I think a lot of the mythology is supposed to foreshadow events to come.

[@brandonlambert9768]

It's his life's work, so why wouldn't he?

[@meridianmormont665]

Wooo Hoooo LML is back. Nearly.died laughing at the music so many Python memories.... Looking forward to listening to the next one. I get to binge them..... YAY!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️💋

[@joes7378]

As soon as I heard the song I heard, "You're mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries!"

[@MelanieBerry79]

So glad to see you adding to your already amazing compilation of quality content! You can’t rush perfection. I hope those who find your content continue to support you and your Patreon community continues to grow. I cracked up hearing the new intro music! Completely epic, yet awesomely silly given the association. Wonderful choice. Also, are those icy/burning black blood cells wandering through the background art? *huffy breath* Ok, I’ll say the words... nothing burns like the cold.

[@MelanieBerry79]

Also, I think your music at the end is fantastic-engagingly trippy, sir.

[@emiliocamachoerice6380]

I thought I wasn't getting the notifications of this channel, and I'm glad LML is okay

[@DavidLightbringer]

I'll have another episode in a day or two... I've been busy writing. :)

[@emiliocamachoerice6380]

Lucifer means Lightbringer don't worry you have your own life I thought it was a KZbin problem I'm glad you're doing what you love

[@GhostEmblem]

It would be nice if you linked the moons of ice and fire playlist.

[@davidmilburn655]

LML, have you ever noticed the Monty Python reference in ASOIAF regarding"I fart in your general direction"? I think its in "Dance" but I've only read through it once and can't remember the context or chapter. Love the channel man keep up the dark lord's work. hehe

[@PabloAlvestegui]

When??? When are we getting the next, lml??

[@DavidLightbringer]

I love this series

[@sligiseesi5393]

great tune at the end :)

[@Leah-xu2fd]

So if you could answer this question that cropped up on me while I was listening to these. (grumpy mind on my own writing. its a bummer when your make believe world doesn't wash with reality and so escaping into your head cannon) Now your theory goes that NN dies and calls the comet, moon destruction, impact and long night. AA taints the green magic. Now here is my question. Would both AA and NN be the sources of what I see as a source of corruption in the "weirwood wifi" that gives us fire=red=AA when he survived the death of NN and so humans see him either as the one who caused the bad event as well as the one who needed to save them (humans) by killing NN so he could gain the knowledge for humans to get a leg up on the green men. So with NN dead and being an original green person she would go into the green sea but because she did something sacrilegious to them she is exiled from the green sea afterlife and so it was her exile that causes her to create the Others? Her anger and heart break and pain I could see tainting the weirwood wifi. A broken heart is said to freeze. Is that along how you see it happening? Is this how we get the 3 levels of the green see magic fracturing? If so I am glad to he on the same page. If not tell me how far off base my brain took this. Oh and NN would get blue, moon ice symbols for her spawn.

[@rollingwithyou]

george has been making some key aspects of his story's timeline foggy. i think this is going to come full circle in the end with Bran.

[@jorilysmatos69]

Me just assuming that the First men were probably just descendants of the people from the Dawn empire. Just that they decided to stay in Westeros; either before or after the long night. They understood the price of magic, were more cautious unlike the Valerian.

[@lmeasley1262]

I hope this is the right format to ask you a QUESTION. The children refer to some of their kind to one that sings the songs and these norms are also their greenseers. Does that mean that they could have gotten inside of Raegal and controlled him (which is an abomination) that also got to Lyana which made her cry the first time she ever heard him sing? And if that is true, then it wouldn’t be R + L that actually help start the war of the 5 kings, and also made Robert lie, it would be the children of the forrest that actually started this from the beginning? That would also mean that they set all the other in the motion with Jon being conceived. I am doing my second reread of the books and I don’t know that I ever heard any one ever ask that question. I have a 2nd question. Reading a book about Merlin, he talks of a beast that King Arthur encounters called the questing beast. It just reminds me of the dire wolves. Do you think there is a connection?

[@mandyh3289]

Amazing opening.

[@DavidLightbringer]

Lesha, hi, thanks for listening and questioning. So I myself do not subscribe to theories about people secretly being possessed by other people. I just don' think Martin is doing anything that wild. In particular, the motivation of Rhaegar and Lyanna would be greatly cheapened if it turns out they were not responsible for their own actions. I'd have to read up on the questing beast, I don't my Arthurian myth very well tbh. What's the deal with those?

[@lmeasley1262]

[@bustercall5744]

I think the others don't bring cold, but absorb all heat. They are fire proof.

[@DavidLightbringer]

That would be like the inverse of the dragonglass, which absorbed the cold of the Other when Sam slew it. I am looking forward to seeing the Others more in TWOW - how they handle fire, for example. Would be could if they could simply snuff it out with their presence, for sure!

[@bustercall5744]

Lucifer means Lightbringer In the show they show they were birthed this way. If its the same in the books, is it a possibility they take on the aspects of dragon glass? Frozen fire? Strange thinking about. Love your vids!

[@made-line7627]
