House Bracken: Fucked around and found out?

More people should like this comment. :D

🤣🤣🤣

Next weeks episode is about to be fire

And remember. The blackwood WERE northmen, until the starks scare them off, of the blackwoods were smart enough to flee from a genocide.

I noticed that, too. You do tend to crash after a massive adrenaline surge wears off.

His skill over size difference makes me feel like he’s a serious student but till this day a student only. That and he seems like a truly serious kid. Otherwise, agreed.

@@Whogaftbh I mean seriously as in against a real person

I wonder what happened to the kid afterwards?​@@BrettSmashy

He fought with the Blacks during the Dance. Even though he was in a battle against the Brackens, his sister and son carried the Raven banner of House Blackwood into many victories during the Dance and they managed to defeat Lord Borros Baratheon.​@@skylinedrx18

and he insult trice.

Ooooh you bad motherfucker. I like that shit. ⚔

Well, thats how brackens and blackwood relationship are since way before Aegon I

No that same boy later fights alongside her during the dance

​@@icedboba1446That's another Blackwood, this guy is a show original

​@@transformersstopmotionbr2972It's the same person, they have different names in the book and the show. But he is the Lord of House Blackwood during the Dance of Dragons.

Good argument!

@@skylinedrx18 Thanks.

It would also protect her from childbirth until she was at least early 20s. Which is far safer then having kids at 14-15.

all awful arguments. the blackwoods are tiny and useless with a tiny army. its a waste of a potential alliance. it would ensure that the Green faction is much much bigger

So, grooming

Yepp, the southern houses are snorky in general. The iron islands and the north are where the genuine people can be found

and she wonders why she had no allies...so fucking lucky she had the northern kingdoms on her side.

@@BlackDiamond2718 Tbh this happened when she was an inmature teenager.

and it cost her...@@Emy-fv5ny

​@@AH13371Just like the United Kingdom...

That should be their house words and sigil

I think its funny that people are surprised a 14 year old girl is not happy about being forced to marry people she doesnt want. Hell Its not a new thing for GoT. Cersei pretty much infers she was forced to marry Robert by her father. When she goes please dont force me to do it again to her father when discussing marriage to the Loras. Yes she didnt play the game and act like a princess. But its understandable that the women of the 7 kingdoms probably dont appreciate being bargaining chips with no voice over their lives. She's lucky her father even allowed her a choice honestly.

@@DevinEMILE my only concern is that people don’t look at things from a logical perspective when they watch the show. My concern is more towards how things progress and where they progress. I appreciate that characters are realistic and that does mean making mistakes. But i like looking at the big picture and how it can hurt more than themselves.

@@DevinEMILE She's literally auditioning the world's most powerful bachelors who are killing each other over her and immediately after this her father confirms she is choosing whoever she wants and will still be queen... yet even this specimen of ultimate nepotism is a victim to you.

After having a few hundred grown men compete for her hand, she’s so numb to the age difference she’s probably forgotten she’s a child herself.

Could also be that he was parched after talking for so long. Your lips, really your whole mouth feels dry and worn when you speak for a while.

bravery and honor would have stopped an 8000 year old blood feud. the blackwoods, on some level, want this war against the Brackens.

Don’t mess with Houses that still pray to The Old Gods

@@soldier3007 do mess with them, for they are easily messed with.

@@godemperorofmankind3.091 BloodRaven boutta change that

Spot on. I don't know how you feel about him but it's one of the biggest reasons I sympathise with Cole. It's insane how the fanbase collectively whitewashes Rhaenyra while hating on Cole as just an incel/simp 'who raged at being rejected' and miss the intricacies so badly. Rhaenyra abused her power and disregarded Cole's honour, vows and duty entirely to get herself off, using him like Daemon did her. Then, when he tried to restore his honour and give her an out (admittedly stupid but desperate), after years of her whining privately to him about how 'nobody has ever held my position' in episode 3 (when Cole had to remind her what a privileged, well off little royal she was compared to 99% of the realm, let alone being a spoiled Daddy's girl), she then suddenly threw the 'I may chafe at my duties' rubbish at him on the boat and happily didn't give one thought to the vows and oaths she had coerced him to break, while then hilariously going straight to using her own duties ('I am the crown') as a get out of jail free card. Rhaenyra is more to blame than anyone that she made such a nasty enemy out of Cole.

@@user-nv2wt4hi8t I'm going to have to use your own words, spot on. I do think Cole became worse and has his pretty negative traits now -- and it's so unfair how he treats the Strong boys -- but at the same time, I sympathize because Rhaenyra set him on that path. You summed it up well, Rhaenyra used him for her own needs/desires without any regard for how it affected him (as he had taken oaths as you mention). He should have not slept with her but I can def understand why he hates her now Doubt she ever gave it a second thought and you are absolutely right. She essentially put him on the path to being what he is now

True...She didn't act according to her position but more like a spoiled brat. At least later she seemed to gain more wisdom.

@@user-nv2wt4hi8t I did agree with you, then Cole beat Joffrey to death. If your anger spills over to commit blatant murder, there’s something wrong with you. Cole’s shown that his emotions rule him and his sword, and that makes him dangerous.

I think it’s the fact that they started fighting out of no where in front of her is an insult. She’s there for a potential consort. Why would she waste her time on idiots fighting and disrespecting her presence. The woman is hungry and they’re wasting her time. I don’t blame her.

its done for copy right xd

again she didn't appreciate the baratheons, she just expected everyone to bow done to her even when she insults them

This boy will order the death of a dragon one day. It'll be a mercy kill tho.

Don't apply modern ideologies. She's the Crown Princess; for the first time in history a daughter is being given the chance to rule as regent. As opposed to it being passed to Aegon since he's the firstborn son. She's got a lot of expectations to show the people of Westeros that women can rule. And she's failing miserably by not taking things seriously and being selfish.

@@TimberlakeTigerGirl First off, teenagers are teenagers regardless of time period. Pretty sure teenaged male kings were not held to any similar standard. Secondly, its fantasy. Its not historical. So comparing it to modern times or even historical times doesn't mean anything because dragons and giants and magic and ice zombies. She is still a child.

@kelseylogas1580 That's cute; you not thinking crown princes didn't have a lot of expectations and demands. Why do you think Alicent and Otto were so controlling over Aegon? Because as far as they were concerned, he's supposed to be the rightful heir. Besides, being a teenager is no excuse to act like a brat. At 16, she should no better than to disrespect the ambassadors of the great houses. Because of her insolence, she cost herself a lot of potential allies during the Dance. Many of these houses turned to the greens because, on top of never supporting Rheanyra to begin with. If they had at the beginning, they changed their minds because of her insults towards their representatives. It happens even today where the children of high ranking officials in governments have to behave themselves if they meet foreign dignitaries. Because if they don't, it can political issues. Especially if the dignitaries are from countries like Russia or China who tend to overreact

If you're going to be queen of seven kingdoms you have to be more responsible. I think Rhaenyra was lucky because she was living in a time that blood is more important that actual abilities. She could act selfish and no one would dare to question her because she is the daughter of the king and has a dragon.

He will appear again, amazing secondary character

Will have to be recasted because of the age difference but he fights for her in the dance of dragons.

politically disastrous. blackwoods are tiny and useless with a tiny little army. this would massively anger the other houses and be a waste of a potential alliance

He is

No, he is not Bloody Ben. Bloody Ben is around Jacaerys age during the Dance of Dragons. The Blackwood in this scene was Lord Blackwood during the Dance of Dragons, he is Bloody Ben's father.

@@ebubechukwuezenweinyinya9697 yeah, I'll be honest when I originally left this comment I did wonder if I'd got the timeline a bit off. Apple doesn't fall far from the tree clearly 😁

That'd most likely be considered justifiable in the eyes of the law, considering that the Bracken guy also drew his steel and willingly stepped forward to fight. Lord Baratheon might have something to say about the embarrassment of having blood shed in his halls in front of the princess though, and I'm quite sure Lord Bracken will seek revenge for having his son skewered in front of him.

@@wll1500 considering how the DoD will turn out, I won't even guess who sides with blacks and greens. As so far Brackens sided with the Greens.

politically disastrous. blackwoods are tiny and irrelevant to everything ever

Seems he went home... his proposal rejected, but....he killed a Bracken, in front of the entire Court, so, all in all, a good day for House Blackwood!

He fought for the Blacks during the Dance of Dragons.

Hate each other since myth

No, he is Bloody Ben's father.

Some Lord of House Bracken. Their oldest rivals/enemy.

Jerrell Bracken

The future father of Lord Benjicot "bloody Ben" Blackwood.

She's not whitewashed, she's a princess from Valyria, and by default, has a knack for looking down on these lordlings of pathetic backwaters.

He was talking, but he didn't talk long.
