Cool Stuff the HBO series Left Out

I am -resigned- to potential Arya/Dany/Jon because I have read a few theories on the '3-Headed Dragon' being comprised of those three that are pretty compelling... and the fact is, I know in GRRM canon, that is as close as we'd possibly get to just Arya/Dany anyways.

Because the world still sucks. And I need to kill more people to change it.

However, I will also state that my resigned acceptance of that comes with my own headcanon that Jon dies pretty early in to that reign, and it ends up being Arya/Dany left together raising an adorable heir who looks like Dany/Arya combined because Jon and Arya look so frickin' similar.
And that is how I sleep at night.

You know - after the Sansa/Jon reunion, I kind of got a 'vibe' - like they may actually go the Jon/Sansa route, because cousins in that world/timeframe are apparently entirely acceptable. That may have just been me Wanting To See Jon With ANYONE Else, though, for Danarya Fandom Reasons.

And very true. As of reality right now, Dany can't have kids. Sure, it's theorized that her condition will change with prophecy, etc etc - but until that actually does happen, she can be Mhysa only to dragons and nations.

And it's funny how, even though technically Arya is (as far as we know) healthy and able to bear children, that never actually really comes up as a viable option. Because technically it is... though I will admit I kind of hate that option, because I like Arya to be a badass warrior/assassin and Not a Lady, and... being pregnant doesn't really fit so well with that. Once again though, that is my own personal bias at play.

I totally think Aegon is a dirty dirty faker. I don't see him lasting long enough to produce an heir, but I could be very wrong. If GRRM every actually finished another book, we'd know far more

And if Arya gets the 'full form' ability that HBO seems to be using - we are probably going to see quite a few new fics coming in that do follow that last head canon.

Ok, so an update to this - I do stand corrected. The big news that had those fans acting crazy isn't even really 'big' news at all - GRRM mentioned they run into each other again at some point in the books. No confirmation on any reunion in the HBO series.
So that is something he changed his mind on, since at one point he was saying they would not meet up again at all. But it's really not something for them to be all excited about.

He did -not- retact his statement that they are going to follow different paths. He merely said they would run into each other again. Well, since we know Arya will return to Westeros, that's not really much of anything. She's likely going to run into a lot of people again, including her old friend Hot Pie, and a bunch of people she is going to kill. XD

And, here's the big kicker...
It's not as if we're likely to get any more books anyways, no matter what he decides to write/add/change!
So carry on unconcerned

Wanted to revive this thread since GOT tv series is fast approaching its end with only 2 seasons left (season 7 is halfway through its finale episode). I see the tv series as a watered down version of the ASOIAF books. Its a an enormous "ARRRRG" and a major piss-off most especially to fans following both the books and tv series. There are tons of cool stuffs left out and plots which where ignored and/or watered down/butchered at its finest:

1. The Dorne Plot (watered down/butchered). Where one of the greatest schemes in the playing of the game of thrones happen. Doran Martell wasn't the weak-assed Prince of Dorne as he was portrayed in the show. He still had the thirst for vengeance on the Lannisters who murdered her sister and her children thru' the hands of The Mountain, as much as how Oberyn was thirsting for it, but the ruling Prince of Dorne thinks his steps carefully and plans his scheme as subtle as it can look in the face of the realm. He still had that sharpness of the mind as expected from a leader of his house and a Prince to the land he governs despite his deteriorating physicality (his gout is taking toll on him making him unable to walk or even stand in his feet). As for the Doran's children only Trystanne was seen in the tv series, without the passionate and cunning heir to Sunspear and future Princess of Dorne, Arianne Martell and Quentyn Martell, Doran's eldest son. The two children of the ruling Prince of Dorne which were excluded in the tv series serves as vital pieces (along with Princess Myrcella and Trystanne Martell) to a possible Game of Thrones between the Martells and the Lannisters if permitted to be shown in the tv series. And the sandsnakes, there's 8 of them and even more deadly and dangerous since they had the Arianne's support in avenging Oberyn's death in the hands of The Mountain.

2. The Mummer's Dragon Plot (Ignored). Which centers on Young Griff aka Aegon VI Targaryen. I don't like the idea that the Golden Company will set foot on Westeros because fuckin' Euron Greyjoy brought them there (as provided by spoilers and leaks for S8 tho' not sure if its legit but still a leak). How would crazy uncle Greyjoy know about them anyway? As I have read about the Golden Company, they are an organized army of sellswords operating in Essos and is high priced if I'm not mistaken. Sellswords are payed in order for one to render their service. Euron and/or even Cersei doesn't have the money to pay this army of sellswords (remember that Dany burned down Cersei's loot thru' Drogon's dragonfire, King's Landing's treasury has been dried out to nothingness and the Iron Bank surely won't lend Cersei the money she needs since she can't pay her kingdom's debt) Unless, Young Griff was excluded in the tv series. Though I hate someone challenging Dany for the Iron Throne, but still The Golden Company was Young Griff's army, it was his all along.

3. The Faceless Man and the House of Black and White Plot (watered down/butchered). If Arya stayed with the Faceless Man longer in the tv series we would have witness its history, how it began, how was the Doom linked to its establishment in Braavos, who aided its pioneers and many more. I don't think that killing the waif was last lesson Jaqen H'gar would've thought Arya with if the plot wasn't cut on her going back home.

4. The sellswords of Essos. The only sellswords known in the tv series were The Second Sons and latter in season 8 (as stated by leaks) the Golden Company. I've seen in ASOIAF wiki that there is a company of sellsword in Essos known as the Company of the Rose which consists of exiled men and women of the north in Westeros possibly Starks who despised Torrhen Stark's decision in bending a knee to the Targaryens. I felt intrigued about this sellsword company since it involve exiled Starks tho' it wasn't thoroughly elaborated in the books.

It had crossed my mind sometimes what if Arya while staying in Essos crosses paths with the Company of the Rose. And also Rodrik Stark, the wandering wolf (If I'm not mistaken you added him as a character in Frosted Faith serving as one of Dany's soldiers) not sure if he's still alive and is still serving the second sons, suddenly meets his great grand daughter while in Essos if there is a possibility that he is still alive.

Yup also other sellswords serving Dany when she's in Mereen. We can't forget about them.

As much as I love Westeros, Essos needs some love.

An honorable company of sellswords, that would be a new thing in Essos since conventional sellswords were loyal for people who could pay their price but who knows maybe the company of the rose requires payment before one can render their service.


As for Frosted Faith, I really looking forward for the next chapter. Tywin's POV, tho' its short, still is substantial and well-detailed. I love how Tywin contradicts his views on Tyrion being cunning and knowledgable on Westerosi politics and the Game of Thrones and at the same time hated him for taking Joanna's life the time he(Tyrion) was born. And also that suspicion on whether Tyrion was Aerys' bastard or not. There's too much paranoia going on in Tywin's head since he's so obssessed on his house's success and would be able to leave a long-term legacy for his descendants to constantly work for and be proud off.
