Everyone talks about how Bran can't have kids after his accident.

This may or may not be true, but let's compare this to Aegon 2's fall at Rooks Rest.

It was from much higher up than Bran's (60 feet compared to like 500), and also had him fall on top of something.

Meanwhile, Aegon is brutally wounded and is in bed for 3 months, but his legs HEAL???

Bran's injuries are far more superficial and don't have burn wounds, and yet he's seen as crippled and disabled.

Imo, Bran WILL walk again, its Bloodraven preventing him from doing so.

Either Bran's injuries are made worse on purpose by GRRM, or Aegon II has the most ridiculous plot armour of all time.

Right now, people in Britain lose out on watching so many games every year because of the Saturday blackouts.

We understand what its for (to promote watching your local team in stadiums), but it seems a bit unfair that everyone has to lose out for it.

So how do we make every game televised, whilst also making sure fans can support their local teams?

And how many kids.

I want to be married at 26 and have 5 kids (27, 29, 32, 34, 37, 40)

3 boys and 2 girls

Its a horrifying statement to make, I'm fully aware, yet I feel it has a lot of potential ground.

Old Nan asserts to Bran that the Night's King was a Stark, who gave his love and seed to a "woman, who's eyes were as blue as ice" or close.

Most people believe this is a white walker, and I agree with them.

Benjen being the new Nights King explains a lot. It explains:

1. Why we don't hear a word about his location for the rest of the books.

He's turned into an Other himself, or is at least cohorting himself with them.

2. Why the original had his surname blotted from history.

He was a noble Stark of powerful blood, and he didn't want his uncle to be remembered as a traitor to the realm.

3. The ties with the Nights Watch

The Starks have strong ties to the Watch, and an agreement between the Walkers and the Starks could have taken place where a Stark is needed to serve the Walkers. It also explains why so many Starks of various lines have died out so quickly without heirs.

Its possible Benjen was forced into this agreement, and that another reason why his name is forgotten is that he betrayed the Walkers for his family again without anyone else knowing, by sacrificing himself.

Its very tinpot, and I understand if you don't like the theory, but I think there are a lot of parallels that George can choose to explore in Winds and ESPECIALLY Dream.

Night's King.

I was watching Suits, now im watching peaky blinders

You are allowed songs where they feature/produce/write the lyrics.

As we all know, the Blackfyres flipped a lot of the Targaryen legacy they inherited as "pure"-blooded Targaryens.

Black on red instead of red on black, etc.

I propose that House Blackfyre also have flipped house words. It ties into the name of GRRM's next Targ book, is similar to them but still recognised, and is a minute detail few would notice

I AM PAUL MUAD'DIB ATREIDES, DUKE OF ARRAKIS. THE HAND OF GOD BE MY WITNESS, I WILL LEAD YOU TO PARADISE!

yh do you know who I am and are you watching dune part 3???

During my 3am stroll across London, seeing such wonderful landmarks as Dog Shit, and Cat Piss (truly remarkable establishments I know), I came up with a theory that is so ridiculous, so silly, that it just might be perfect.

Our favourite pudgy-faced boy, Prince Tommen (ill get into that later), is actually about 50 miles away in Castle Rosby, currently acting like Lord Gyles Rosby's ward.

Now you may be asking, "What the hell are you talking about, ?".

Let me explain, starting with the story of an event that took place 25 years prior to today.

The Battle of the Blackwater was an absolute goddamn mess, and its resolution much the same.

However, we can condense this down to just Tyrion's chapters after the Battle.

Tyrion and Cersei made a lot of plans about what they wanted to be done before the Battle of the Blackwater, in order to ensure not all was lost in case something happened.

One of these plans was transporting Tommen to Rosby secretly, in order so that Stannis does not capture him at the Battle of the Blackwater.

> "Lord Gyles will take him to Rosby, and conceal him there in the guise of a page. They plan to darken his hair and tell everyone that he is the son of a hedge knight."

This was Cersei's plot, and Tyrion makes a small change to it.

> Tell Bywater to disregard what's in the letter and take his men north. He's to lay a trap along the Rosby road. Lord Gyles will depart for his castle in a day or two, with a dozen men-at-arms, some servants, and my nephew. Prince Tommen may be dressed as a page."

Therefore, he kidnaps Tommen on the road to Rosby, along with Boros Blount. Now instead of Rosby keeping Tommen safe, "Ironhand" Bywater does, and gets Rosby as a reward, to make sure that Bywater stays loyal.

However, after the Battle, everything goes SHIT for Tyrion, in terms of his plans. Ironhand is now dead, killed by his own men, after he prevented them from fleeing.

Now, Tommen is with Cersei, after:

> "Once she learned that Ironhand was dead, the queen sent the Kettleblacks after him, and no one at Rosby had the balls to say them nay."

So Tommen is with Cersei right? WRONG!!!!

Tommen is still at Rosby. The boy that Cersei has, is a FAKE.

Why, you may ask???

Firstly, where is the fawn?

Tommen took a fawn and adopted it. I must ask, Tommen would never leave the fawn behind from what we know of his character. So where is the fawn GRRM??? Oh that's right, still at Rosby with the real Tommen.

Secondly, how Tommen is described.

Tommen is described as:

> Tommen had always inclined to plumpness, but his face seemed thinner now.

So why would he be so thin now??? BECAUSE HE ISNT THE REAL TOMMEN GUYS!!!

Thirdly, the beets.

Tommen is never mentioned to have any apathy towards beets before A Feast For Crows, even though we see him eat often before then. You know why? Because Tommen isn't actually Tommen, he's a hedge knights son.

Finally, the comments actually made on Rosby's ward.

He is described as not of Gyles' own blood, which means he isn't really related to him. This makes a lot of people think he's actually Olyvar Frey, but I am inclined to not think so. Tanda described the ward as an "illborn wretch", not exactly what you would say about a person who has noble blood.

Therefore, it would make a lot of sense that this hedge knight's son is meant to be the ward. The line about there being no one at Rosby to have the balls to say nay, is actually a line about how no one wanted to tell him this wasn't Tommen. Remember, the garrison would still have been loyal to Ironhand and Tyrion at the time.

The Kettleblacks wouldn't know what Tommen looked like by heart, and Cersei being such a bad mother she failed to recognise her own son, would be very interesting plot twists to this mystery of who the Rosby ward is, and it helps to explain away a LOT of the flaws with the story after the Blackwater.

One of the key narratives in Tyrion's arc is how Tywin sees TOO much of himself in Tyrion. Genna put it best when he told Jaime:

\> "Jaime," she said, tugging on his ear, "sweetling, I have known you since you were a babe at Joanna's breast. You smile like Gerion and fight like Tyg, and there's some of Kevan in you, else you would not wear that cloak . . . but Tyrion is Tywin's son, not you. I said so once to your father's face, and he would not speak to me for half a year. Men are such thundering great fools. Even the sort who come along once in a thousand years."

Tywin is mortified by how Tyrion is like him in so many ways, from their sheer pragmatic brutality, their run-ins with prostitutes and their lust for power. Now obviously Tytos died from his heart exploding WHILST IN A TOWER WITH HIS BEDMAID!!!!

Tyrion even makes a point of this when he says, "Now that's where you're wrong, Father. Why, I believe I'm you writ small."

So just like how Tyrion killed his father, Tywin killed his, because in the end, the main Lannister branch are all shit parents, and even more importantly, too involved with their own bloodlust to think about their deeds.

In conclusion, there's too much dramatic irony to not suggest that Tywin didn't kill Tytos, because in the end, Tyrion IS Tywin writ small. Just like how Tywin destroyed the work of his father, Tyrion destroyed the work of his.

I also believe NO ONE in the whole fandom has come up with this theory, and if I'm the first to notice the parallels, well the better for me.
