Scraps and Scrolls- ADWD 17

The end begins in truth this week, and we welcome it with another 3-hour-plus corker for you all. Specifically, this week is Feast week as we wave goodbye to all four POVs amidst chapters full of horror, fanaticism, and cliffhangers a-plenty. Fires are lit up in the snowy north as Asha watches the burning of living humans before a huge surprise comes out of the storm. Victarion has his own atrocious burnings in the waters of Slaver's Bay as he and his burned arm continue to spread misery. Then things take a turn as we head to Braavos to discover the deep, dark, magical secrets of the House of Black and White, the ones with faces and assassinations. As if that were not enough we end with one of the most infamous, most terrible events in the series: Cersei Lannister's walk of shame. The big moments do not stop coming in this one

 

Today's goodbyes include:

- Asha III/ The Sacrifice

- Victarion II/ Victarion I

- Arya II/ The Ugly Little Girl

- Cersei II

 

So jump aboard the Isle for discussions on why George has structured these four goodbyes all at once and how he weaves themes of horror and religious extremism through each and every one of them to signal the end of days. Come and talk on the view of the men burned by Stannis Baratheon and the morality of their punishment, on the truth behind what is happening with Victarion and Moqorro and who's controlling who. Marvel at the magical system of face swapping, wonder about the overall aims of the Faceless Men rushing Arya's education and where it points her future, and have a long talk about the real intent behind Cersei's punishment, the true evilness of Kevan Lannister, and precisely how her breaking will change her as we look towards Winds.
