House of the Dragon S2 Teaser Trailer live Q&A with Glidus 

After eating The Winds of Winter, Glidus will have to devolve into autocannibalism if the seventh book is ever finished.

I likes games of throners

A Dragon man about town 😂

We have to get george on the phone

@@TheBaselessMountain thank youuu Geoooorrrrgeeee

Came here to say this 😂🎉 opened the stream saw 3+ hours… amazing ❤❤❤❤

Internet ascending to new heights.

Honestly a testament to the trailer! But also to the format and community Alt Shift has created :)

lmfaooo

It was rly more like 65 seconds of content, which is even more impressive.

Ol Glimbo gets around hes our little bad pussy

Honestly classic glimbo

How will their relationship ever recover from this? We’re never getting that ASOIAF sex scenes ranking :(

I'm concerned with the conflict this will incite between all their bastards.

Time for another schifty bastard.

Went to the comments at this exact moment oh my GODDDD haha

OMG I for sure thought they were joking.

@@kellykw7898SAME ITS OBVIOUSLY HELAENA 😭

When they pulled up the headshot of alys rivers

@@AW-xc1xc SAME!!🤣🤣😱😱

That's the equivalent of making a 9 day long video about the film "Shrek"

all is perfect

​@@asterozoanit could be done on Shrek 2.

Alt Schwift X will remember that.

This is not a betrayal, it’s progress, like the Christmas Truce of World War One, the two disparate sides must become one

Unoriginal comment

​@@balabanasiretifunny tho

I think Glidus is trying to bridge the gap. Could we see a redemption arc in the near future?

“Current events could be improved”

'The War has turned out not necessarily to Japan's advantage' - Japanese Emperor's address to his people in 1945, just before their unconditional surrender

​@@dromankass8655Sweet fuck. Was he having a lark?

"SH!T HAPPENS" "DOO DOO OCCURS"

@@dromankass8655gotta love world ‘leaders’

She did rule horse riders the women probably could've came together to build a large saddle.

nice copium

​@@jameslopez9661And Tyrion probably would have loved to design it

that's a great point!

My theory is that David and Dan just didn't put that much thought into it.

Maybe but he always talks about Balerion like they had a really good relationship and that he was heartbroken when balerion died so I read that as more of a loving admittance that the dragon riders cant control dragons. Kind of the sake vibes as like friend you really like but occasionally does something fucked up and you are like yea thats just balerion. He can be a mess sometimes

Feel better, kind stranger!

@@mochrimek very kind of you 💙

Feel better! You make it out?

@leebarbs7176 Much better, thank you! Was in for a week and the NHS staff were incredible.

Sounds cool but that would postpone Winds of Winter for another 10 years

Tyrion becoming the best damn plumber in Casterly Rock and mainstreaming the sewage piping.

There are 38 Jon’s in this story, mostly not related, these are two different names, they can be unrelated

Weren't you paying attention? Shift said they're half cousins!

Didn't Schwift kidnap Shift? Problematic

​@dandyman204 Definitely unrelated. Definitely can't get married.

More like Hobber and Slobber

Dunno what you're talking about, this is their first collaboration 😉

That would be SO good

And the lady of the lake of the arthurian stories!

and also the lady of shallot! isolated, alone, tormented by a curse, she dies in a boat wearing this ghostly white dress, floating down a river. i can't wait to see how they explore this further@@mxflint1715

If the King is 15 minutes late to court, you can legally leave.

Bold for you to assume genetics works accurately in this fantasy world

I believe that dragonfire would just glance off the magical walls of Storms End.

​@raingulfdrengot195 never thought I'd that, but you're probably right

Its impossible to burn down storms end. It worked against harranhal because bran the builder didn't make it

Balerion could have probably just crashed into it and tried to destroy it that way. in the same way that the ice in the wall can be damaged and needs to be repaired. But it certainly has magical protection

@@ExtraVictory IDK man...Ullers proved that flying that low is deadly. One well placed scorpion bolt and adios

That's really cool to know! Makes total sense, especially since it would be extremely expensive to have two separate helmets.

Nearly all the armour and weapons are designed around medieval examples. My main gripe though, is that the main characters almost never wear their helms in battle.

It makes sense you would have a basic helmet practically made and just add stuff on top. Just chip that stuff off when you actually need to go to war

they've got a good cannibal arc going on via glidus livestreams.

I like the idea that while her three old children all have sliver hair, young Daeron has dark hair, and looks exactly like Prince Jace. This is the reason he's been swiftly moved to Old Town and not seen at court very much. Basically at that funeral event on Driftmark when King Visiry mistook Alicant for his former wife Aemma, she got rather frustrated, and made use of Ser Criston Cole to relieve 16 years of pent up frustrations (I mean why not, she knows he's already done with for the Princess). So the irony is that Cole is the father of both Jace and Daeron, who are both brave daring boys that rise to command in difficult circumstances, but are on opposite sides of the war.

​@@dromankass8655but then daeron will not be able to ride a dragon at all if he's cole bastard

@@pandepanda31 Hmm, good point. In the books he can ride a dragon, but I see your point that if he didn't have any dragon blood on either side, he shouldn't be able to. Though Nettles, Hard Hugh Hammer, Wilf the Sot and Adam Velaryon could all ride dragons, and although it's claimed that they all must be 'dragon seeds' and have some blood of the dragon, that is never proven, and perhaps common people can ride dragons and the idea that you must have the blood of the dragon is just a lie of the rulers. It's not like many got a chance. Also if the Hightowers are also from an ancient older line of dragonriders, from when their fort was Battle Isle with dragons roosting there, it would be from them on his mother's side that Daeron gets his dragon blood.

@@dromankass8655 You’re forgetting the many hundreds of other smallfolk who tried and died to tame dragons. The idea that a Cole bastard _coincidentally_ had the super-rare ability to tame a dragon which was absolutely necessary to fit in with the Targs is kind of a longbow. It’s Time Travelling Tyrion levels of tinfoil and doesn’t add as much as you think it does.

👌

good quality content over good quantities of content?

The power of tangents

I thought it's Aegon too

that's what i thought too. black veil, seems like mourning attire similar to what rhaenys wore at laena's funeral

Yeah, I was super confused when they didn't recognize her

Thank you sir, have a wonderful day

yes I also really liked it!!

I agree, also I like that it involves fewer things. There are fewer houses, fewer characters, no white walkers and Essos is barely mentioned.

the best thing about it is that the story is finished. we know the broad strokes and best moments and they get to play in the character moments of it all, but the story is done. who knows that thats really freaking helpful in adapting huh?

@@maxpstlI dislike generic zombie stories and having white walkers etc in GOT felt so boring as they felt played as just another zombie storyline and I’ve always found that boring.

going from no books to ASOIAF is fucking impressive, fair play

@@earl_gay Thanks man also english is not my first language so it took a good amount of translating the more unusual words

Do remember that this is just days after Aemond supposedly killed his own nephew. Even if he was in the same party as the likeable greens such as Helaena and Alicent, Aemond commiting one of the most taboo crimes in Westerosi culture isn't gonna stop them from rioting.

It would have passed to Aegon's legitimate son before his brother whether Aegon took the throne or not. Abdication or death don't automatically change the line of seccession. That's why Viserys kept harping on Rhaenyra to get married and have children because it would ensure that her line was strong enough (no pun) to pass the throne to her sons, which was supposed to avoid another succession crisis. If Aegon had abdicated with no male heir that could have made Aemond next.

"In general, succession falls to the first-born child of the heir and their children, followed by the next oldest sibling of the heir and their offspring and so on. That's why, for instance, Charles' children and grandchildren are ahead in line of his oldest brother, Prince Andrew, the Duke of York." from ABC news.

In primogeniture (or more precisely male primogeniture), the monarch's eldest son and his descendants take precedence over his siblings and their descendants. Elder sons take precedence over younger sons, but all sons take precedence over daughters. Children represent their deceased ancestors, and the senior line of descent always takes precedence over the junior line, within each gender. The right of succession belongs to the eldest son of the reigning sovereign (see heir apparent), and next to the eldest son of the eldest son. This is the system in Spain and Monaco, and was the system used in the Commonwealth realms for those born before 2011. From wikipedia.

​@stephens021 it depends on the succession laws. England used to be the son of the king before grandson, but that was changed, which caused the war of the roses. The king lost his heir but instead of having his next son inherit as was the inherentence of the time, he had his grandson (son of his late heir) inherit England from him. This caused generations later to claim stronger claims since they descended from sons while the current king descended from a grandson. Succession laws are an ever evolving beast and are different from place to place (even within the same kingdom). So what exists today isn't necessarily what existed in the past.

​@@GrinMonisterbro u talking about england, this is fiction and in both the book and show if aegon dies and his son is alive he will be king not aemond, aemond will likely be regent until aegon son come of age
