The Green BardI’m not a hater. I promise. I don’t get into shipping culture or stan culture, in general, and I definitely don’t get into “anti” culture. That said, I did get pulled into a question recently on twitter: Who are your 5 least favourite characters in asoiaf? Now, how do you even make a criteria for […]
My handle comes from the Irish Song “Molly Malone”, which was immediately brought to mind when I read the Cat of the Canals chapter. The Chorus: Alive, Alive, Oh! Alive, Alive, Oh! Crying Cockles and Mussels, Alive, Alive, Oh! I play this song and other folk songs with my actual Irish Band: The Bold O’Donohughs. […]
A Northern House in the South In Season 1, Episode 4 of House of the Dragon, we see Willem Blackwood kill Jerrel Bracken after a young Princess Rhaenyra and an older Jerrel had poked fun at Blackwood. I was watching a Joe Magician video about that scene today and it reminded me that I wanted […]
I am as late as you can be with this, because I am releasing probably after the debut of Episode 1 of the second season, but, better late than never! I already considered the magic and dragon themes seen on screen from the first five episodes of HotD Season 1, so this episode covers episodes […]
This episode focuses on Rhaegal, Viserion, and Quentyn Martell, when Dany shows the dragons to Quentyn, and continuing with his ill-fated attempt at becoming a dragon rider.
The Bard’s Truth, Episode 7.5 I recently mentioned in a twitter post on #ASongofMadness that I was voting for Gilly, on account of her hidden dragon blood. I got some feedback for @lizdated that she had never heard of that idea, asking if I have a video of that theory! Well, no, I didn’t. I […]
If A Storm or Swords was a transition period for Dany’s dragons (call it their teen years), I would say that A Dance with Dragons is their final transition to adulthood. No longer are they lovable beasts; they are now dangerous creatures, with fully developed personalities – and wills – of their own. This applies to all 3, but especially to Drogon.
Hey all, The Green Bard here! It’s been a while … aside from my most recent video, which I actually made early in April 2023, I’ve been taking a bit of a break since Ice and Fire Con. I moved, and finally I am set up in my new office and ready to record, produce, […]
The most important use of dreams in ASOIaF is to show the beginnings of the manifestation of “The Gift.” The waking mind starts to let go and it gives an opportunity for the third eye to see. These dreams are, dare I say, an opening to the flow of the underworld, the weirwood net, the […]
In Elden Ring, I recently found a some confirmation of my kingsblood theory from “The World of Ice and Fire.” [… ]”When we were down to Pentos we moored beside a trader called the Sloe-Eyed Maid, and I got to drinking with her captain’s steward. He told me a pretty tale about some slip of a […]
