Every time a good theory like this comes out, GRRM says "Shit that's a good idea" and the book gets delayed another 3 months.

[@DzinkyDzink]

He's registered on both reddit and asoiaf, go figure.

more likely: every time he reads a good theory, he says "shit, they figured out exactly what i was going to do, now i have to change it somehow" and the book gets delayed another 3 months

I don't think Tyrion losing his tongue is the equivalent of Jaime's hand. He's already had to question his identity all his life unlike Jaime who had always been the Lannister golden boy until he lost his hand. Tyrion already evolved and learned to cope with being a dwarf and his family's dismissal before the show started. Taking his tongue away would destroy Tyrion rather than force him to grow. Not to say GRRM wouldn't do it.

[@nicholasdamasceno3436]

Totally agree

[@surenick3460]

It's also just not how you write prophecy and foreshadowing. A character saying "I'm gonna cut out your tongue" and then cutting out a person's tongue isnt a foreshadowed prophesied event.

[@Michael-bn1oi]

It is equivalent if you are just looking at the one thing. It is exactly parallel

[@benjaminsaffir7871]

Varys wouldn't cut out Tyrion's tongue to keep him quiet about a conspiracy. Tyrion can write! And gesture! That would be a bad plan. If he ever needed to keep the secret he would have to kill Tyrion completely, but I don't think that would happen.

[@Jmjks97]

Yeah cutting out the tongue on the little birds only works because they are children who cant write or read

[@DzinkyDzink]

iirc they can, they copy the letters leaving the originals intact to not raise suspicion.

[@hamfast4229]

I don't think Varys is the prime contender. He's too smart to miss the observation of tyrion's non-verbal skills. The TWOW Foresaken chapter came out before I wrote the original Quiet Lion reddit post. (spoilers ahead)- In forsaken, Euron cuts out several tongues as part of some kind of magical ritual that appears to change the winds. I think that is a much better motive then keeping tyrion silent.

[@JohannesEckhoff]

Though Tyrion can write, not many people in this world can read. So that's something.

[@dereksilva2571]

Well, why not cut his hands off as well? 😂

[@Ma3Laura]

I don't think cutting out Tyrion's tongue could keep him from telling a secret about Aegon. Tyrion can write. It'll have to be a punishment/act of cruelty, IMO.

[@UnPuntoCircular]

I was going to comment the same exact thing

[@theesteviefranchise458]

Agree, thought the same thing about his ability to write. Would bet on Cersei or Euron very late in the story

[@MitchellD249]

Yeah, I was thinking that and also that Cersei probably wouldn't do it just because she'd just kill him ASAP. I guess there's no particular reason that Euron wouldn't, but that would be a kinda random thing to predict. The textual and thematical clues work for the general idea of him getting his tongue cut out, but I'm not feeling the proposed perpetrators. Could easily just be a nobody like the person who cut off Jaime's hand.

[@noubar89]

I was going to write exact same thing. Completely pointless and dont think it will happen.

[@TheBurgerkrieg]

Exactly. Tyrion will be very motivated to betray the people who took his tongue, too, so the best way of shutting him up would be to kill him.

[@GLinker]

If Tyrion loses his tongue, it does make him a good candidate to be the one that really write the all story of the ice and fire. Don't you think?

[@AltShiftX]

Yeah, maybe Tyrion, or Sam.. or Gilly!

[@pagetvido1850]

He evolves into George R R Martin.

[@902d]

He kinda had to grow as a character after killing his father, depression, life in a crate and alchoholism.

[@902d]

And losing his love and status.

[@106588]

ye I feel like it would be a bit silly if everything seems to fit or was ''foreshadowed'' in some way.. I mean then every quote of every character has some deeper meaning or truth to it since it will one day happen. Which makes the whole thing a bit to dramatic in my taste. I think Therion has been through enough in the books to redevelop himself as who he is, the cutting of his tongue would add little in my mind except that it would fit nicely theme wise but story wise it would be a waste.

[@partytor11]

And let's not forget his disfiguration at the battle of blackwater

[@JoeyDediashvili]

Pun?

[@nickklein09]

Totally. I always thought his "rock bottom" was loosing his "family name", and gold, without those two things he's a regular little person, which he considers a huge disadvantage in Game of Thrones. "All dwarfs are bastards in their father's eyes"

[@molin1]

It occurs to me that if Martin is planning things out in this detailed fashion, dropping thematic seeds for every twist from the beginning, then it makes perfect sense why writing it takes so long. He'd have to chart the whole thing and then make another set of charts within each branch of it, and then finally when writing refer back to the charts almost constantly. It sounds exhausting.

Nothing's new under the sun, son. Everything's been on reddit and asoiaf back in 2011-2014. Everyone on youtube simply put into a video format. ASX just happens to do it the best way.

[@jonatan915]

He’s kinda already at rock bottom in the books though. He killed his father, lost his friendship with Jamie, lost Shae, found out the truth about Tysha, is hunted by his sister, rides pigs for peoples entertainment etc etc. There really is no need to further punish his character at this point

[@rambard5599]

Jaime had already been at rock bottom in the books before he bounced back. He lost a major battle in the war, got caught and imprisoned, chained to a post for months on end resting on his own shit and piss, murdered his cousin in an attempt to escape, had to endure insults and humiliation, had to make a promise to his enemy in order to flee, just to get caught again and suffer it all over, to eventually get back home and rejected by the one person he loves in the world. Losing his hand was just the icing on the cake.

[@tabulldog2743]

[@MrEwanRoy]

@@rambard5599 Jaime didn't murder his cousin in the books.

[@ARandomGuy24]

He's filled with spite and hatred and lashing out in anger and rage. He will be punished for his future actions. He's always thinking to himself how he wants revenge on the people of Westeros in particular Jamie and Cersei. The dude wants to burn all the people to the groundl.

I agree with the sibling-arc, but Tyrion always talks about his mind, remember the conversation with jon, when they were making their way up to the wall. Tyrion talks about how he needs to hone his mind with books. Maybe he will loose his wits.

[@yourfriendlyneighborhoodin994]

I don't think this will happen. Jaime losing his hand and becoming a better person makes sense, because he's still relatively intelligent, handsome, charming and the heir to Casterly Rock. Tyrion, on the other hand, is deformed, hated, the 3rd child, and most certainly not a fighter. He's managed to uphold his status only by being clever and quick with his mouth. If he loses his tongue, he's nothing! The point is that Tyrion's tongue is way more important to him than Jaime's sword hand ever truly was to him. If this happens to him, what can he really do with his life? Become a bookkeeper? Nah...

[@JustJayGaming]

And Sansa loses what defines her the most, her highborn status in becoming Alayne.

[@williamdrouin8063]

Al Fin it's impressive that he was able to solve them. Some knots were hard as fuck

[@Nosraceroom]

The main problem with this theory is that unlike other characters, Tyrion doesn't really have any other skills other than his ability with words. As a dwarf, he's already in a perilous position in the world of ASOIAF, and were it not for his heritage and his brain he would have died long ago. I don't really see any scenario where Tyrion loses his tongue but doesn't die. Besides, we've already seen him go down into the dumps then rise back up again. It would be an odd writing choice to do it again, and this time there's no real way he could even recover. That being said, I can totally see him getting killed by Cersei or Varys in the end.

[@MissCaptainStrange]

I noticed this in the books but not to this level, it's an excellent theory and the first fresh solid theory I've heard in months. Always making the best vids on GOT :)

[@LegendOfFuzzi]

If he becomes Danny's Hand in the books before his tongue gets ripped out, he would have the resign as Hand of the Queen.

[@MyaB1986]

Well in the show he has pretty much lost his ability to dazzle with speeches, but I guess that came as a packet deal for working for Daenerys...you know she basically castrates all males who work with/for her.

[@jon79jw61]

Jamie ...he could write...that's what the hand is for anyway

[@LegendOfFuzzi]

True.That'll get pretty tedious. Maybe he could learn sign language?

[@TheGypsyVanners]

[@rajagopal9836]

'if you cut out a man's toungue you're just afraid what he is about say' - tyrion IRONIC

[@blackAngel88it]

I almost feel like he already lost what defined him, when he had to leave King's Landing after he was sentenced to death. He wasn't a real Lannister anymore, had no more Gold, no family behind him. He already lost his title as the Hand of the King when Tywin came to King's Landing. I sure hope he won't lose the tongue as well. Although there probably isn't all that much talking left, in the tv show at least. And what is that about Varys cutting out the tongues of his little birds? On one hand, I don't feel like that fits his character from the tv show, kind of hard to believe that he would cut other people after he got cut. But mainly I'm asking myself, if the birds don't talk, how does he get his news? Does he teach them all to write? What's the point of having birds who can't "sing".

[@logansmith2703]

They copy notes

[@elscruffomcscruffy8371]

Yea I don't get why hed cut out tongues either. Kids can't read or write, so they must just be note messengers. Or are great at drawing pictures of people they see together. On another note, what if Tyrion loses his cock?

[@sethmiles9436]

Wow I never knew Varys cuts his little birds tongues out. But I guess that makes sense. Wounder how they tell him things tho

[@freekodakblack6473]

Great Theory but I want to add another name. When Jaime got his hand cut off it was because he tried to save Brienne who is the complete opposite of Jaime at that time. When Cersei got her character stripped away it was because of the High Sparrow who is the complete opposite of Cersei who is evil and does evil things. Now Tyrion is a dwarf who is very intelligent, so the opposite of him is some dumb and tall. Victarion Greyjoy. GRRM has even said himself he is as dumb as a stump. He already has a temper problem. Remember in ADWD he thought the grass sea was an actually sea and someone made a joke about it and he broke his neck with his burnt hand. Tyrion loves to make intelligent comebacks and Victarion isn’t one for sarcasm.

[@leviackerman1799]

Every time Tyrion says something and he feels he is in danger, I'm like: shut the f up Tyrion..I can't watch you die..

[@ImBilly]

but wouldn't tyrion losing his tongue completely defeat the purpose of his character? he's all about talking his way out of problems and he's not much of a fighter. how would he even be a part of the story if he can't talk to dany or jon?

[@shooshooshooshooshooter]

you either didn't watch the video or weren't paying attention... GRRM is known to put his characters through hell. This theory is just another potential example

[@Huggsmd]

But wouldn't cutting off Jaime's hand completely defeat the purpose of his character? He's all about fighting his way out of problems and he's not much of a talker. How could he even be part of the story without fighting for Cersai or his house?

[@ImBilly]

i was paying attention, but the argument makes no sense; how would tyrion contribute to the story if he lost his tongue? would he write everything down? would he become a soldier? not likely. if he lost his tongue, then he would become a useless character, his ability to be a smart ass/communicate is his saving grace

[@ImBilly]

no because he has his other hand (which he learns to use). tyrion doesn't have another tongue

[@alexanderf8451]

Banks Jamie never returns to being a great soldier though. After losing his hand he learns to be a somewhat effective statesman. He discovers that his knowledge or Westeros politics and his ability to read maps (iirc it's specifically noted that even most nobility don't understand how to do this) are much more valuable that swordsmanship.

[@JordanKnotts]

[@MrRobbPhoenix]

Game of Thrones likes to be cruel/shocking sometimes and I believe this will be crueler/more shocking than offing him, he won't be able to come back from this unlike the other characters. For that reason alone I think that this is very plausible.

[@12jalbrandao]

Tyrion know how to write. Cutting his tongue out protects a sum total of Zero secrets

[@erikmyers1573]

Yeah, no. Redefining a warrior through the loss of his hand, or a person who draws power from her fading appearance is not even in the same ballpark as Tyrion losing his tongue would be. As stated, Jamie has had to learn a totally new way of dealing with confrontation, but that is because he still had other abilities to fall back on. Same for Cersei. (Books) Tyrion is in no way a physical character who can fall back on 'other' gifts or abilities to redefine him. Is he suddenly going to become another Payne? A headsman in service to the crown?

[@danb6742]

He better fucking not

[@AdamPianodude]

It’s a nice touch that you managed to sync your ‘shame’ line with the accompanying video at 3:20

[@beatrizmedeirosnoleto9391]

I don't think that Tyrion losing his tongue would fit that well into the Lannister pattern. Jaime and Cersei did horrible things with what they lost. Jaime threw Bran out of a window, with the intention to kill. He confessed that if he had found Arya when she was lost in the Trident he would have killed or maimed her. Cersei used her attractiveness to enthrall her brother, effectively ruining his life, seduced other men into making her dirty work, which includes lying under oath and murder and used her status as Queen to order the death of countless children who could have been her murdered husband's bastards. On the other hand, Tyrion might have been rich and noble (which he's not anymore) but he is a dwarf, blamed for the death of his mother, his father gives him a hell of a trauma when he is a teenager and later is victim to a plot to blame and execute him for the murder of his nephew, the little shit he fought for. He even lost his nose already, for the family who would not loose a chance to screw him up. So, he started the story not as privileged as his siblings, and his intelligence and speech are means of survival, not dominance or evil-doing. He pissed off a lot of people, of course, but he never purposely tried to do harm. The body part that best correspond to Jaime's swordhand and Cersei's beauty and sex appeal might be his penis. Tyrion doesn't define himself by it, but it is a force that controls his life, gets him into trouble and seriously hurt other people. As a teenager he rapped Tysha. Because of his lust, he disobeyed his father, brought Shae to King's Landing and that caused a lot of misery. He killed a man to keep his secret. His prostitute friend who fed him information or something was tortured as punishment for his disobedience. His plots wouldn't be found out if not for his keeping of Shae. She was his weakness. Of course, Shae was used as a nail in his coffin when she gave her statement in his trial. And then he became a murderer. Killed his father (don't blame him) and Shae, who he chose to mistake for a girlfriend, a fuck love. Then he rapped that sex slave with wipping marks on her back. Not to mention that part of the reason he was blamed for Joff's death was the fact that he was married to Sansa. Who he thought was a child, not fit to marry, but then decided to marry anyway because he wanted Winterfell, yes, but also because he wanted to get into her panties. His misery is because he is a dwarf, he is ugly and he is rejected by his cruel father and he is controlled by his penis. His tongue saved him more times than got him into trouble. Besides, how could Tyrion possibly reinvent himself without his tongue? Sorry for being redundant, but he is a noseless dwarf with stunted legs, different eye colors, poor, kinslayer, wanted for the murder of the King. Most people can't read, he would not be able to comunicate with anyone. Is he going to get magical powers, ride a dragon? I really hope that is a red herring.

One thing I thought of when I saw this notification. Haldon suggested something about how Tyrion should cut off his fingers, toes, hands or feet if they start turning grey, due to greyscale. Tyrion went into the river, and the poisoned water may have gone into his mouth. So it would make sense that he cuts his tongue out in an attempt to save himself if he notices it turning grey

Another fantastic video! Just to add on the whole "losing what makes them who they are" thing, I'd like to add that Tywin also went through this, twice. His wife was the only thing that made him happy and she died in childbirth. Then, his other obsession was his legacy and family name. That was destroyed by Jamie being named a Kingsguard, Cercei going batshit crazy (and not having any non-incest children), and then Tyrion putting the nail in the coffin by murdering him. GRRM sure knows how to write tragedy.

It all comes down to transformation as you said, though Tyrion already went through a transformation. He didn’t lose his tongue, but basically got his nose cut off.

I hope he doesn't loose his tounge in Got anything is possible. I love the way he speaks . He speech before his trial by combat in the vale was hilarious and so was his speak in kings landing when he was on trail for killing Joffery.

Good to see your videos in my sub box again, your videos are always great! I also was wondering if you're planning on doing another stranger things video for season 2?

People were pretty brutal in the old days. That saying "to cut off your (own) nose to spite your face"? That's derived from the pretty common practice of cutting someone's nose off for some perceived insult or whatnot. It was kind of like punching or pushing someone in a bar nowadays. Some dude looks at your lady the wrong way or spills your ale? Pull out your dagger and slice his nose off. Some wench talks shit behind your back at work? Track her down and off with her nose! It was quite common. In fact, part of the civilising of medieval Europe involved forbidding the wearing of one's dagger at the table and the adaption of the blunted, specially made eating knives we use nowadays - people kept knifing each other at dinner over trivial slights and arguments. Next time you go to a nice restaurant and order a steak, notice how you have to have the dagger-like steak knives brought to you and think about how uncouth it would be if you started jabbing at the bread rolls instead of reaching for them with your hands (or tongs, if you're really posh). Our ancestors were brutes who had to be restrained from being bloody thugs with all these rules and etiquette we take for granted now.

Going through A Feast for Crows for the first time, still waiting for that Tyrion chapter...

[@theseventh7]

Thank you for the book theory. It's been a long time

The quote you used from tyrion speaking to oberyn martell is from A storm of swords, you put in ADWD. Its when they speak in tyrion's towercell between the days he's on trial.
