Why are there so little likes and comments for this wonderful and kind person. As far as I know Robert is the only one to do the charity streams, giving all the money to the charity of his choice. Robert is certainly the best of this fandom. Thank you, your time and kindness is appreciated.
Robert is there any way to have a dedicated Tolkien livestream any of these Thursdays during HotD's run , just to even things up a bit. I know there is a formula of Open Q&As on Thursdays during HotD but it seems like mostly ASOIAF (which i love) Open Q&As with maybe with the tiniest splash of Tolkien at the very end of them. Even an Open Q&A Tolkien focused would do.
Nice timing in my reading to answer one of the questions. I just read the part leading up to the King's Moot with Roddrick the Reader talking about how he needs to get a lens from Myr. The world seems to be just on the brink of someone inventing glasses.
28:17 I've been thinking about how Aemond took the dagger, it had assumably been hit by dragonfire.. would the inscription have been visible? I am picturing it a bit like The Ring and how Gandalf just pops it into the fire.
I believe that magic in Westeros is all the same thing. It doesn't come from a god (I don't think there are any). I think that what gives magic it's "flavor" ( fire, cold, death, etc.) is the person wielding it. Like it doesn't matter if a prophecy comes true, it matters how it affects people and how they react. For magic you can especially see this individuality in Melisandre. She claims to be a Red Priestess, but she also learned magic in Asshai, and she also has "mummers' tricks of powders and potions. This mixture is not how followers of R'hllor practice magic, it is special to Melisandre.
It's done through RU-vid's in-built charity donation system, it literally wouldn't be possible to be using it fraudulently. Not to mention he has a patreon for asking for money for himself
