Weirwood Paste is People: Unfortunately, Jojen Paste Theory 

Oh no. No. That’s horrible. And wonderful. Gees.

I prefer wintergreen

And Littlefinger chews spearmint to keep his breath fresh, Littlefinger is Bryndyn Rivers confirmed 😆

Thanks for the horrifying language lesson!

Confirmation.

@@DavidLightbringer Damn, I'm sorry I missed that.

I thought this too

To me it seems like more like the white stuff is actually ground weirwood… something (seeds? Acorns? Who knows) and the red streaks through it is Jojen’s blood. In this case Bran is taking in weirwood elements to help “wed him to the trees” and Jojen’s blood is simply the sacrifice that pays for that magic to take place. Bloodraven specifically denies that the paste will make him a green seer (which fits with the idea of Jojen’s blood in the paste containing green magic that Bran absorbs), Bloodraven says “your blood makes you a Greenseer.” He’s always had the gift, Jojen’s is just the price in a blood sacrifice that will pay for the awakening of Bran’s green magic

Plop

@@jessie_dreams_ Thanks for the sound effect. I needed it.

I thought brains are pinky gray?

Wow ,that's true

Bloodraven is Targaryan who is now on the throne via Bran. Lots of Blood

@@theaansel8738 Bloodraven got warged into by the three eyed raven. The three eyed raven did not start with Bloodraven. It is a powerful warg, most likely one of the greenseer children. Bloodraven and Bran were already wargs, so they were suitable replacement bodies for the "raven". Once Bran's body gets old, it will lure another person to warg into. They even tell you that "the raven" holds the memories and knowledge of many ancient people/seers. It is all knowing. Bran's body and blood is not Targaryen, but it doesn't matter. The children just need a human body to sit the throne and be accepted. Why do you think Bloodraven knew so much about children's magic/rituals and worked so closely with them? He was one of them(warged). The Children are the most powerful beings in that world.

@@in_vas_por8810 Thanks for the info

He kinda forgot.

Oh George...

This is why i understand george needing so much time to write TWOW. But its kinda time now...

"Fire and food would set him right again..." but Bran isn't sure it *WOOD*

@@dunnpfiffgurgler4016 it’s only time when the artist is finished and he gives it. There’s no before. Only the creator says “when”...

@@shinobifirecracker6671 I honestly think Winds is done, and he’s probably close to finishing Dream of Spring. He said that he had been writing them together, and I think he’s been letting the dust settle from the fall out of the TV series.

Referenced in Pirates of the Caribbean as "long pork" so every time he said "pork" I couldn't help it 😂

nice

Yeah

Eww

@Jay Morgan oh no

Hahahahah too good 🤣🤣🤣😉

Iron Reed so they’re Edric Storming the blood out him then????

@@210SAi More brutal, thinking weirwood root pierced slow bleeding out.

Bran the Vampire!

@@sleekoduck Based on LML's "Venus of the Woods" they could also be "uploading" Jojen's consciousness to the weir wood net while at the same time sacrificing his blood to Brand directly or indirectly through blood infused weir wood.

I thought of something a bit similiar which is that the reason we never see weirwood seeds/spores is that weirwoods require sacrifices to create new trees, in mortal life for eternal life kinda situation or like the dragon eggs.

wer is old english for man, derived from the proto germanic weraz and means male, similar to middle high german wér (man) or proto indo european wihros (also man) so in short, weirwood is similar to werewolf (Wërwolf (germanic man-wolf)) it's just not a man wolf but a man tree painfully obvious given the trees have faces and literally bleed blood

I'm pretty sure that George was aware of both these linguistic origins when he named the weirwoods. He's far too full of history and mythology not to have used that name *very* deliberately.

Then Bran is in for some hot furry action soon

Yes, I'm open to the idea they are just bleeding him as well

In Fellowship of the Ring: the Ring goes south, there’s this quote: “Sam was standing by the pony, sucking his teeth”

No. He was seeing Bran because Bran was supposed to be able to (spiritually) fly but was limited by his self-hatred over his disability.

The seed is wrong. I mean, strong. 😑

@@made-line7627 wrong it is

Hungry for Frey blood!😈

@@dirtygiraffe just mind that you are what you eat.

@ I'm vegetarian, so I guess that makes me a vegetable...😄

I can relate!

Frey pie is people!

Nope, they are planted from people. Garth plants werewoods, meaning they are proliferated somehow by transplantation or seeding. And the jojen paste is "werewood seed paste". It's spelled out in the books.

Every time that bowl of paste is flashed on screen, I get a little more hungry.

Yes, I could have gone into that more, but that's exactly how I see them, as fungi organisms. All the evidence points to that

@@jackiec9139 Well, both Dany and Aeron sure have some extreme shroom trips when drinking shade of the evening. And Euron, only the Gods knows what kind of trips Euron has been on...

@@dirtygiraffe ego trips

@@twiggyjali I'm sure Euron are on ego trips all the time, with or without the shade of the evening, that's just the kind of guy he is. Poor Aeron on the other hand(spoilers for tWoW) sounds like he had one of the worst trips one could ever get.

Really what points to that? Cool

What heart?

I keep hoping that's what turns him away from Bloodraven.

Great insight there! I like it

Fantastic insight! So true.

@@tracymetherell8744 Thank you!

The weirwoods are not evil, though.

@@urthboundmisfit I am inclined to agree, that to these characters, the weirwoods aren't evil; I failed to specify to which I was referring, and that's on me. However, to me the Weirwoods aren't "good", as they come with the cost of human sacrifice to access its powers, and if not human sacrifice, you sacrifice your humanity (a la the 3-eyed crow) Upon further reflection, I don't think either tree is good/bad; they're indifferent, but they demand a very high price from the characters who wish to gain their power.

Is this supposed to be a scientific explanation /rationalization?

@@sean5558 Yes.

@@gingergrant1057 is it necessary to have a scientific explanation for this world , Can’t there just be a world GRR Martin created that has magic for magic and wonders sake like Tolkien and others without a scientific rationale. Let them be sinister magic trees inhabited by the spirits of the Children

@@sean5558 not how his world works

I think the weirwoods are just one giant conal Grove that all share the same root system

I think this is very possible actually, yeah.

Lucifer means Lightbringer can’t frickin wait for these TWOW chapters!! Great livestream today homie 👌🏼

Totally agreed as to the element this would have added

Your long game wouldn't be sunshine and fairy farts either if your people had been nearly killed off by invaders.

I still don't understand how people agreed to Bran being king. he'd done nothing, and has no training in governance.

Love that theme in ASOIAF. It's so deep when you realise it.

They don’t grow from seeds, they’re made with magic, or were made with magic… and they’re all connected to each more like fungus than plant

Believe you’re thinking of goats, as Craster left multiple for the Others in sacrifice. I could be wrong though it’s been a while since I’ve read Clash.

He had some pigs, they'd all been slaughtered by the time the survivors from the fist get there. Some of the crows are talking about hams and bacon.

Did it have those stringy bits of tomato in it?

@@sleekoduck no it didn't thank the gods , but it was that white and red combo...

@@kimberlygl36 Any mossy eyed Crannogmen gone missing around your area the last few days?🤔

The ultimate broke ass student meal lol. Man, I don't miss those days

@@Truffle_Pup Pasta or Crannogmen?

They could have been trying to transplant, sounds to me.

@@DavidLightbringer Isn't that another instance of something never heard of in this universe?

I made all my best jokes in this one

The Raven's Teeth.

I’m thinking it was Jojen brains yeah

Fresh brains actually look white-pink, not grey. Especially young brains. The gray-ness is only very slight. It also has rivers of red running through it. The taste does not match. Brains taste like cream and butter and pork and cod liver all combined (although I've never had human brain, it's made of similar components to pig and lamb brain). Cod liver is a rather mild fishy taste. That overlapping fishy taste comes from oxidized long chain omega 3 fatty acids, especially the DHA in the brain. But the CotF have powerful magic. They could easily alter the taste, or at least Bran's perception. This also means that in order for the paste to be a werewood seed paste (ie the children telling the truth, which they seem to always do) the were wood trees have to be made of people. Or they could have simply seasoned it with weird plants, brain is mild in flavor, and also magic is going.

Nope. Brains is white. Brains wouldn't taste like blood. A white, gelatenous paste, which is exactly how GMM describes it. Nice try.

The fact that the "Pork, the other white meat" commercial exists is just endlessly entertaining and prefect

@@DavidLightbringer I don't think I can trust you until I see Quinn post again... Especially after you very unconvincing claims to not cannibalized his brain....

Ser Tommard Long I need a Coldhands reveal in WoW!!!!
