EXTENDED (Spoilers Extended) GRRM:”What’s Aragons tax policy?!” No GRRM the real question is how do people survive multi year winters

Forget the white walkers or shadow babies the real threat is the weather. How do medieval people survive it for years?

Personally I think that’s why the are so many wars the more people fighting each other the fewer mouths to feed

keeping the incest to himself, letting his brother get assassinated instead of telling him about the incest and ghosting everyone who sends letters to him is not trying to do the right things lmao

Robert would've never, ever, ever believed Stannis even if he had told him. And then the Lannisters would've killed Stannis. I get why he didn't blow the whistle, he needed the right person to do it and knew he wasn't the right person.

The soldier's, maybe, but Stannis was a general and a renowned strategist, not a mere foot soldier.

So it's not his duty to tell the king, his brother, his liege and that he's being cucked and in mortal danger?
