Spoilers, profanity, Jaime x Brienne.

474: ASoS Bran II

Spoilers, profanity, Jaime x Brienne. When you’re on the road, there’s nothing better than some blood sausages and granola to lift your spirits. It’s story time for Bran, Jojen, Hodor and Meera and we learn The Story of the Laughing Knight. And yes, we absolutely needed the wiki to get all the allusions. We think we know who everyone is, but fandom will make a theory out of everything. Game of Thrones. A Song of Ice and Fire. A Storm of Swords - Bran II.

470: ASoS Catelyn III (repost)

Spoilers, profanity, Jaime x Brienne. If you were wondering if Lord Karstark could be more of a jerk, the answer is a resounding yes, as his act of pointless vengeance puts Robb in an impossible position. Between the nakedness of Willem Lannister and Tion Frey’s bodies and Jeyne being way too comfortable talking to her new mother-in-law about all the sex she’s having with Robb, it’s an icky chapter. But at least she’s got wide hips. A Song of Ice and Fire. A Storm of Swords Catelyn III (repost). Originally recorded in 2018.

467: ASoS Arya III

Spoilers, profanity, Jaime x Brienne. Arya knows they’re going the wrong way but Gendry assumes the BWB know a Riverrun shortcut. Hot Pie was not made for life on the run, but he will handle all your breadbaking needs. Tom of Sevenstreams gets in a subtle dig at Jaime, but is this just a sign that George is too excessive with his Easter Eggs? Arya would have gotten away if Harwin didn’t have horse super powers. We reluctantly explore Richard Lonmouth/Lem Lemoncloak theories but all we really know is that ASoIaF is a rich unfinished tapestry that’s slowly unraveling. Game of Thrones. A Song of Ice and Fire. A Storm of Swords - Arya III.

466: ASoS Sansa II (repost)

Spoilers, profanity, Jaime x Brienne. Cersei is why Sansa can’t have nice things. Sansa’s getting all the cloaks. We figured out why Winds is so long in coming (and it’s not what you might think). Stop asking GRRM about discrepancies in the books. Game of Thrones. A Song of Ice and Fire. A Storm of Swords - Sansa II (repost). Originally recorded in 2018.
