There is only one god. A user knows his name.

Imagine reading a series of books and thinking that the author never use metaphors and symbolism to express themselves, the characters, the world within it. Couldn't be me. Please don't ever stop what your doing, I love these deep dives so much and I know that majority of people here do too. ❤ Also one of my favorite lines is the "dusk seeping into the room" and the lines similar to this throughout ASoIaF because it shows the light and shadow are very much alive.

Dunk is the most relatable protagonist to someone "thick as a castle wall." If only I were also that badass.

I'm a simple man. I have to have others break down symbolism and I leave comments when asked nicely. Thx, once again, for a fantastic live stream Mr LML and Mr GWT. Bless the green teas, Garth the green and all of our pets + squirrels (Children of the Forest). Until next week! ❤

I'm LOVING these duo read through streams guys, you both rock dudes. ❤🔥✌️

High quality entertainment as always. Thank you guys.

I don’t mind the pauses for symbolism. That’s what I come to LML for anyways 🤷‍♂️

Thank you. Your channel has helped remind me that good stories work on multiple levels. Praise Garth!

Quite the fun stream! Always great to go back and hear the tales of Ser Duncan

These read throughs are really fun. The plot hints in D&E are even more clear on re read than those in the main books. It just reminds us to keep hunting for clues

Wow i love so much this dunk and egg streams. As always great chemistry!

Ser Robin Rhysling vs Leo Longthorn Tyrell, is like a Grey King figure fighting a green king. So summer king vs winter king symbolism. A lance to the heart, is like being killed. But he rises again... Splinters flying, a one-eyed dude rising from the dead. It reminds me of the prologue...

you're right, the splinters are a good parallel to the Waymar prologue for sure!

Dunk believes Eggs lies about his identity, because he sees himself in him. Dunk projects his feelings towards the boy he once was, giving him the love Arlan gave him, when he was all alone in a horrible world. 💔 😢❤

Great stream, perhaps you should have used the Nimble Dick voice for Steely Pete.

I love these streams. They're always so fun!

Your analysis always make the whole thing so much richer than when I read it by myself. I don't have the patience to think about all this and try to find the metaphors. I didn't expect this many in dunk and egg tbh since it's an 'easier' read than asoiaf.

Mythhead checking in! I hadn't read the Dunk and Egg books but it's very cool to do it real time with your analysis and see what I catch on first blush. I'm really excited to do that as I read TWoW.

LML & Tim Thank You Guys for that top notch stream! What a good team you make!💪🏼💪🏼👌🏻👌🏻💘💘🙋🏼‍♀️🇨🇦

I'm over a week late, but here's what stands out to me. If the tourney is symbolism for the battle against the Bloodstone Emperor that happened on the Battle Isle and what happened between Rhaegar and Lyanna, it's so curious that the whole time Dunk was keeping his eye on Valarr and watching him intently. Especially during this entire time, Dunk kept thinking that he had to "unhorse" Valarr. And when someone is unhorsed in a jousting tourney, that person is brought down/brought back to earth. You've mentioned how riding a horse could mean being on the astral plane or inside the weirwood. So, we have Dunk and Egg (mostly Dunk) watching Valarr while thinking that they must "unhorse" him, which gives me the idea of someone in the current story (maybe Bran, maybe Euron) looking through the weirwood net, observing figures from the past like Rhaegar, Azor Ahai, or the Bloodstone Emperor, and trying to "unhorse" them from the astral plane or the weirwood net, bringing them back to earth or to the real world. The word "unhorse" stood out to me specifically.

Hi David and Tim!Sorry to miss you. Glad I 😊can rewatch. Cheers gents @

You two are the best!

2:42:11 I would recommend: Bran as Merlin, Bloodraven as the wizard who taught Merlin, Jon as ?Uthur? Pendragon( Arthur’s father), Jon’s daughter as Arthur.

If I were in charge at HBO, I'd have learnt my lesson from season 8 of GoT (George is the irreplaceable one with the talent & substitutes are a waste of money & a hit to reputation) and insisted George was in the writing room as much as he was willing. The news about the 2 seasons greenlit & hands-on GRRM sounds very positive to me.

I hadn't heard the news about HotD since I live under a rock, but I think anyone who isn't excited about it is crazy, heh heh

1:50:02 - Hey Dave, just wanted to say that Aerion and his men's behavior here isn't just petty - it is far, far worse. These puppets are *this family's livelihood!!!* It takes a moment to destroy but weeks and possibly months to create!! As an artist I'm especially horrified of the breaking of her fingers 😣😫🤬 the nimbleness of these fingers, their connection to the brain and eyes is what puts food on the table. It is so painful to read. I love Dunk for standing up for what's right without a second thought. The insane privilege of a prince destroying the livelihood of those much much below him is infuriating.

1:28:12 I’m always excited to hear GRRM is creating anything! 1:58:23 So Dunk, the representation of a true night, had a cup of wine (blood/weirwood paste), went through the wall of watchers (North of the wall), to save a woman to save a woman from a dragon (Frozen Azor Ahai). As the prince’s guard (the others) close in on Dunk (the last hero), Egg (an unknown dragon) steps in and commands the guards (others) to stop their attack… Am I reading into this too much?

Brilliant.

Can you figure out witch houses at this tourney were Blackfire suppoters? Loyalists? Neutral?

I liked dreamcatcher too tim!! 😅

Great stream! Can't wait for part 3!

I'm certain I'm not the first to observe this, but it just dawned on me that there have been 4 Aegons, and Egg is the fourth son of a fourth son

In the previous stream, there was a part that was explaining the rules of the tourney and there was a sentence somewhere along the lines of "... the others were left to be challengers". So could it be that you got it the other way around and the champions are the heroes defending the weirwood net and the realms of men from the others and the night king? Prince Valarr, who doesn't fit with the symbolism of the other champions, as you said, could be the last hero, implying that he had dragon blood.

Жыл бұрын

i couldn’t sort it out. it seems like Others and last hero’s on both sides. it’s really confusing on that sense. the action between Dunk and Aerion is easy to interpret, but the teams, idk

If Rhysling means wine it could be symbolism for blood. The way grrm worded it sounds like the nissa nissa story. A lance to the chest. splinters are a comet shard that took out one of his eyes aka one of the moons. His name and sigil symbolizing a blood and a door(blood sacrifice that opens a door) maybe

Great stream poor Dunk.😢

Probably, but are you familiar with the “masks hide eye color” trope?

This read alongs man ❤

In all seriousness about Blood Raven/ Shara Seastar/ Mel, I have no doubt in my mind, if Blood Raven had the slightest inkling of Mel serving the greater good by being enslaved, he would have been on board with that. He's not a "good" guy. He's a force of nature. Impartial and implacable.

How do you interpret the symbolism of Maekar killing Baelor? Cain and Able? Is it the same as Stannis and Renly? Or is it The Night's King Azor Ahai (who maybe was a Stark a proto-Stark) and Brandon the Breaker, Last Hero maybe his brother or maybe his son, if Bael the Bard is Night's King?

Love these book reads

Who do you guys think it was that killed Baelor Breakspear? And why? I don't think it was Maekar. Or how do you explain the memory loss? Magic? No, I think it was someone else. Either on purpous or by accident. On his own accord or working for somebody.

Great stream as always! Just want to build on all the points you found pointing to potential pyre sex...We know how GRRM likes to take his previously written ideas/themes and build on them/incorporate them into A Song of Ice and Fire. Well, I've only read the very beginning of this novelette (a while ago)...but isn't GRRM's Meathouse Man (and apologies for bringing up this disturbing story) about a corpse-handler that reanimates corpses to perform manual labour...and then visits corpse brothels where the sex workers are reanimated corpses? I dont know about you... but feels like GRRM incorporating these ideas into a Jon Snow pyre sex/resurrection vibes to me! Sorry again lol.

Do you think George might be a member of team ADHD? His creative process (complete with long breaks) reminds me a lot of my own

Maybe it was Aeiron, not Maekar who killed Baelor, in a vain hope to make his father proud.

Thicc as a castle wall 😮

Thanks for this. Great video. The web is dark and full of algorithms.

This new hair is so sexy!

I think the political conflict here is between Maekar and Baelor. Aeiron is not just an evil kid, he is pushed by his father. I think Maekar is a mix of Tywin and Randyll Tarley. He is pushing Daeron to be a knight even though he doesn't want to. I think he sent Aemon away to be a master because he was to bad at fighting. More as a way to hide him. As Raymunn Fosseway, says, to this toxisic masculine warriors, to be a maester is a discrase. I also think the trail by seven was Makar's idea not Aeron's. I think when Maekar in the end agrees to let Egg become Dunk's squire, it is not to be nice to any of them. He wants to make a man out of him.

Now I read that it was King Daeron II who sent Aemon to the citadel, because he thought there were to many princes. Maekar protested and saw it as an insult.
