Like all of my videos, there are captions!
I knew psychically that you'd uploaded. "1 second ago" it said. 🙂 It's not the most advantageous superpower but, I'll take it.
So, I imagine Patrimony of Hyrkoon will also come right?
Ok, the Mengo-Doshi theory makes A LOT of sense!
Also, I am saying it now, all the Azor Ahai first and then the rest
I got the notification the day of! Yasssss 👏 🍿 😊
I love that you make me notice stuff I hadn't before. The Spider vs Serpent is indeed very common and idk why I hadn't noted it before, especially when there is a character named THE SPIDER.
Grrm: And he decided to become a king
Cat: ✨Prophecy✨
Jokes aside, loved the video and I am waiting for the Rhollor ones!
I was feeling really blu so this video was perfect timing. Thank you for consistently making great content. I hope you had a great weekend. Best wishes always. 🤍
So Valyria had a partnership with Sarnor…(Strokes beard)…my new headcanon is that dark skinned Valyrians like we see in House of the Dragon are the admixtures of Sanori Nobility and Valyrians
aawww yes, the spider vs serpent part 💚
Thanks for the great video i heard this before but you have so much more.
Jinglebell is the stallion who mounts the world
Thank you for your work here. It always makes me realize that there is so much about Planetos that I don't know.
I feel like I’m hearing a Greek accent through your English, reminds me of my father, not really relevant ik but yeah
I'm not disagreeing for the most part. Well described. My issue is that so many seem to want a single figure. "The prophecy is for (single person)." I'm not disagreeing that these apply to them, just that it's supposed to apply to one person.
You could make a similar analysis for the Driftwood and the KBtW. The desire to unite Westeros for Aegon is also similar. My main issue is that most are expecting a single narrative. I'm not ruling out the possibility they will consolidate, but I don't want to assume it's the only option. There were 5 names for the hero of legend, we have the war of the 5 kings, and the five dwarves in the HotU. I think there are five people to whom this pattern in the story applies. So I don't think you're wrong about it applying to Dany, just about her narrative as one side of a single over arching one. Though I do concede there is a chance the story will seek to unite the 5.
The difference is, five people will do a version of what Dany does. So trying to identify who main opponent will be is probably wrong. For example, as a Kraken that mounts the world, Euron good or bad will do something similar but as unique to him any other current or myth unifier. As will a unifier under the KBtW or North and Rivers. Stannis is basically making the Sarnori mistake, attempting to use the Wildlings the same way the Sarnori used the Dothraki.
Will the 5 fight a hero battle royale? I don't know. However, I think how we predict the story will play out is being warped by the desire to force it into one good lead vs one bad lead.
One aspect of the story I think gets ignored is the dynamic of a moderating force. The people of the bone mountains keep two things apart. The Marcher lords keep Dorne and the Reach apart (mostly). And the Wall does something similar. There must be something that on a theme level attempts to keep the spider and serpent apart. Something that sometimes breaks down and a massive conflict resuts. I think it's this aspect that's overlooked even in the history of the story.
Do you think Vaes Toloro (the dead city where Daenerys and her Khalasar find shelter) was once a Samorian city ?
Huzhor Amai. Hmmm
Thank you for the "Magic Sperm". Means a lot.
Another great video too, btw.
how much you love this universe is really apparent and appreciated. Thank you.
It's obvious who Azor Ahai is.
Hot Pie.
COMPANY OF THE CAT SPEAKS AND I LISTEN
Hearing how the andals and the first men (and meybe the iron born) got into westeross and started to try to conquer all, knowing how the Targaryen tried to unite westeros through conquest and now hearing about the dothraki and the stallion that mounts the world uniting on his kalasar I'm starting to believe that many of not all prophetic dreams say something "must unite all" or "everything must become one under a single leader" and the ones hearing the prophecy just interpret it as:
I'm destined to rule all completely missing the point of uniting as a single front vs the others.
good combination, I didn't think about this yet
Thank you for making this video! It's full of theories and ideas which are so often overlooked. In fact, it's a real shame that the Sarnoni history is so often ignored, especially when one considers the most similarity related to the name of the "Prince Who Was Promised" is undoubtedly Azor Ahai and Huzhor Amai.
Κοίτα να δεις σύμπτωση, χτες σκεφτόμουν το ίδιο πράμα….
Brilliant Video!
από που είσαι στην Ελλάδα?
In General, I don't think that Rhollor or Azor are Evil in General, Evil is always in the Eye of the beholder. Someone like Daenerys who ends the Way of Life as it was in Slavers Bay, is the Evil Queen for most of the slavers, but the Messiah-Figure for the Slaves.
But it is always about balance, the Dragons literally came from a place that was called the Land of Always Summer and neither a neverending Summer nor a neverending winter is good for the environment. All this Story is about is Balance and Danerys as Azor Ahai brings an unbalance towards Fire and Light, but what about the Night? When will people sleep? So yes she will be a Messiah-Saviour for many People and unite many People, but she is not the solution to all Problems, we all know how too much Sunlight and insufficient Rain will destroy Nature and create desolate Landscapes. So yes Daenerys is Azor Ahai, but she is not the perfect solution to the Problems this Story has. She is not good with Compromises, not good with managing a Country and trading with People, especially when the People need Food and Warmth during the upcoming Winter, she will struggle a lot.
The solution to these problems is to build lasting relations with the People around you so that they will work together during Winter and after Winter. The Solution are the Starks, like Sansa and her Connections to the Southern Lords, especially the Vale and the Riverlands, Jon with his Connection to the Iron Bank, the Wildlings and Sam, Bran/Rikkon with his Position as new Lord of Winterfell and Arya with her Connections and understanding of the Small Folk and her Connections to Bravoos. The Stark fight when necessary and talk when needed. when different Factions work together they create something lasting something strong, which is a riddle to the People like the Targaryens/the Lannisters who rule through fear and that is the Riddle of the Sphinx, at least for me.
