“Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armour yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.” ― George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones
All art is at once surface and symbol. Those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril. Those who read the symbol do so at their peril. It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors. Oscar Wilde.
It's the Red Wedding of Last Hearth posts. Superunknown5 sends his regards. I'm basically GRRM at this point.
You have achieved the ultimate in hive mind collectivity with GRRM.

I understand GRRM because I am GRRM. I grew up a fat, shy, nerdy kid who was smarter than everyone around him, liked to read books and couldn't get laid if my life depended on it. (And was super bitter about it and used fantasy worlds to escape the pain of the loneliness). The Bran to his Bloodraven, if you will.
So, does this mean we are all having a groupthink about groupthink itself?
If so, I'm not sure what I should think about this.
Perhaps I should consult the thinking group about what I should think about this groupthink.
Any thoughts?
It's like a mobius strip of reasoning.
Thoughts. Yes. Either Arthur Dayne is Jon's Snow's father, or GRRM is not the legendary writer I think he is destined to be remembered as. It's just so perfectly poignant and bitter and cynical and postmodern and Shakespearean that I don't know how it can't be true.

And now you have a truckload of money and get laid every 5 minutes?

Speaking of Shakespeare, I think #freypies was borrowed from Shakespeare but I can't remember the play at the moment.

It's not even a theory anymore. It's a fact. LOL
In all seriousness though, the last episode was a good day for RLJ. Lyanna's fear of Robert was very well written/acted I thought. I still am of the mind the brothel chapter almost completely negates the idea that Rhaegar was Jon's father, but the question is far from answered.
I would still like to see RLJ be the secret. I don't find it very plausible, but I still like the romance of it. Yes, even voice has a sappy side.
Rhaegar would bind Jon and Dany's arcs in a very cool way that Arthur does not, so I can still see it working and being an enjoyable story. Arthur seems far more applicable to the Long Night (Dawn=Lightbringer, and Jon=Sword of the Morning), which I prefer to the dragon-part of the story, but I admit that is my own personal bias.
RLJ would still be cool, even if incredibly cliche.
