Nonono but don't you see? Tyrion is perfect to be Viserion's rider. he is part lannister. part golden lion. part targaryen through his father. but he's also lightbringer. the weapon that will bring peace in spite of the circumstances of his birth. his family. his life. he is the redemption for the lannister crimes but also for dany's targaryen trauma. if he rides viserion he redeems the cruelty that her brother that the dragon is named after. he may be a bastard but even still he becomes the brother that she never had- the one who supports her and will help her bring fire and blood to westeros and tyrion might finally feel peace with his mixed sense of identity through Dany's acceptance of him as such.

This week, I analysed Daenerys Targaryen. What is the meaning of the number three that surrounds her? Will she go mad in the books? Does she have any psychological issues? This and the symbolism that surrounds her are finally laid bare...

Did Olenna Tyrell poison Joffery (in the show, yes) but in the book?

I highly doubt it because when we get pointed in Olenna's direction within the books is when Baelish is talking with Sansa. And Sansa is the one that concludes it was the Tyrell because she was the only person that did touch the hairnet that she is aware of. Plus, Sansa thinks it was from the wine and points that out to Baelish as well.

But Baelish has no reason to kill the king, but he does have a reason to kill Tyrion because he wants to marry or be with Sansa. Plus, in the book if the poison was in the wine it didn't act the way that it should've but when Joffrey ate the pie the effects of the strangler poison did react in the way that it should've.

Keep in mind the bells are sounding that the king is dead and Baelish could've heard them which made him say that the king was dead to Sansa. So, even if his plan against Tyrion failed he could've easily flipped it round with Sansa's words.

The confusing part of Sansa explaining what happen to him is that he knew the hairnet had poison in it. In other words he knews something. But when Sansa brings up that the other person that touched her hairnet was Olenna which led her to believe Tyrell poisoned Joffery.

Keep in mind Sansa wasn't paying any attention to the people that were delivering the pie due to seeing a sword that she thought was her fathers sword. (She might not have noticed another person touching the hair net due to the shock of seeing the sword.)

Keep in mind in the books that no one in the castle knows where the poison is. They bring up the wine more but sometimes the pie is brought up.

But if the wine was poison why wasn't Margaery as well. It's stated in the book that Joffrey was given a glass as a wedding gift and wanted to share the wine with Margaery during the wedding feast.

So, why would Olenna take the risk of poisoning her own granddaughter? (It's very different in the tv show, because in the show Margaery and Joffrey were not sharing the same wine cup.) Even thought Littefinger gives a reason which doesn't add up if Olenna wanted to protect Margaery from Joffrey's cruelty-why point it in the wine cup they are sharing.

Plus the plan seems to be confusing. Why involve anyone. It could have easily been Olenna to the cup when it came to the poison. Plus, what would've stopped anyone to notice that Sansa's hairnet had poison in it. When Olenna wanted to marry Sansa to someone in her own family.

It seems weird framing Sansa, especially if the red haired female didn't show up the wedding or wear the hairnet. Because Originally Sansa didn't want to go but changed her mind. So keeping the poison in the hairnet seems strange if Sansa didn't come or even wear it, regardless of the promise the female made.

So yeah, the plan is still weird. Plus, Sansa thinks it was from her hairnet. Unless it wasn't and only made Sansa believe that it was because either one of the poison beads fell of, or was taken off to make her think that.

Because it's brought up that the poison would've or should've been dissolved in wine as an expectable when The Strangler is brought up. So someone would've noticed the poison within it's solid form. (Keep in mind we're never told how long it takes for the poison to dissolve into food or drinks.)

So it would make sense that someone already had the poison dissolved and ready to go by the time of the wedding. It's just where or when it was used.

I've been thinking a lot lately about how Kabru deprives himself.

Kabru as a character is intertwined with the idea that sometimes we have to sacrifice the needs of the few for the good of the many. He ultimately subverts this first by sabotaging the Canaries and then by letting Laios go, but in practice he's already been living a life of self-sacrifice.

Saving people, and learning the secrets of the dungeons to seal them, are what's important. Not his own comforts. Not his own desires. He forces them down until he doesn't know they're there, until one of them has to come spilling out during the confession in chapter 76.

Specifically, I think it's very significant, in a story about food and all that it entails, that Kabru is rarely shown eating. He's the deuteragonist of Dungeon Meshi, the cooking manga, but while meals are the anchoring points of Laios's journey, given loving focus, for Kabru, they're ... not.

I'm sure he eats during dungeon expeditions, in the routine way that adventurers must when they sit down to camp. But on the surface, you get the idea that Kabru spends most of his time doing his self-assigned dungeon-related tasks: meeting with people, studying them, putting together that evidence board, researching the dungeon, god knows what else. Feeding himself is secondary.

He's introduced during a meal, eating at a restaurant, just to set up the contrast between his party and Laios's. And it's the last normal meal we see him eating until the communal ending feast (if you consider Falin's dragon parts normal).

First, we get this:

Kabru's response here is such a non-answer, it strongly implies to me that he wasn't thinking about it until Rin brought it up. That he might not even be feeling the hunger signals that he logically knew he should.

They sit down to eat, but Kabru is never drawn reaching for food or eating it like the rest of his party. He only drinks.

It's possible this means nothing, that we can just assume he's putting food in his mouth off-panel, but again, this entire manga is about food. Cooking it, eating it, appreciating it, taking pleasure in it, grounding yourself in the necessary routine of it and affirming your right to live by consuming it. It's given such a huge focus.

We don't see him eat again until the harpy egg.

What a significant question for the protagonist to ask his foil in this story about eating! Aren't you hungry? Aren't you, Kabru?

He was revived only minutes ago after a violent encounter. And then he chokes down food that causes him further harm by triggering him, all because he's so determined to stay in Laios's good graces.

In his flashback, we see Milsiril trying to spoon-feed young Kabru cake that we know he doesn't like. He doesn't want to eat: he wants to be training.

Then with Mithrun, we see him eating the least-monstery monster food he can get his hands on, for the sake of survival- walking mushroom, barometz, an egg. The barometz is his first chance to make something like an a real meal, and he actually seems excited about it because he wants to replicate a lamb dish his mother used to make him!

...but he doesn't get to enjoy it like he wanted to.

Then, when all the Canaries are eating field rations ... Kabru still isn't shown eating. He's only shown giving food to Mithrun.

And of course the next time he eats is the bavarois, which for his sake is at least plant based ... but he still has to use a coping mechanism to get through it.

I don't think Kabru does this all on purpose. I think Kui does this all on purpose. Kabru's Post Traumatic Stress Disorder should be understood as informing his character just as much as Laios's autism informs his. It's another way that Kabru and Laios act as foils: where Laios takes pleasure in meals and approaches food with the excitement of discovery, Kabru's experiences with eating are tainted by his trauma. Laios indulges; Kabru denies himself. Laios is shown enjoying food, Kabru is shown struggling with it.

And I can very easily imagine a reason why Kabru might have a subconscious aversion towards eating.

Meals are the privilege of the living.

guys I had this realization the other day that Redwall works really well for reading aloud, and kinda half-remembered something about the author reading to kids? So I looked it up to see if I had made a connection.

And it turns out, yes, actually, because he read aloud to kids at a school for the blind. But all the books they gave him to read were depressing. So he wrote Redwall, a story about heroism and courage and making it through struggles, and filled it with so many sensory, visual details so he could give them something better and I just-- that's so wholesome-- help

Kronos, Agent A, and bites marks

Kronos looked a bit skittish and dejected after the sixth Doctor nearly got iced by her baby after he made an unfortunate choice of mumbling words which lead to Batman calling in a favor from the Wayne's to bring in a good doctor that actually can get near both the ancient beings long enough to give a diagnosis.

Incoming Agent A, who was calmly explained the situation as he walked slowly into the containment. Kronos look at him for a moment before a bit of realization flickered in his eyes, as she murmur something.

Batman and the other heroes watches behind the hidden camera screen office, watching as Alfred check Kronos's temperature, painless blood drawn, checking her heart and breathing and gave a clear full body examination to a couple heroes were shocked to see a long horrifyingly yet old looking scar on her stomach area that look like someone dragged something sharp and was stretched a bit wide.

That gave one point to Diana theory of Kronos story being warped dramatically, but the fact of that Zeus did cut opened Kronos's stomach to pull out his siblings pin true.

A couple of more minutes past with alfred carefully examination the baby boy who was a bit squirmish while alfred did a couple of comments obviously praising Kronos whom face flushed a rather colorful red blush turning her head a bit. Alfred did asked and provides Kronos and Her baby much better comfortable Maternal and baby clothes then what they were currently wearing.

By the time alfred came out of the containment cell, alfred's soft gentleman look shifted a bit, before speaking after handing the vials of swirling golden glowing blood.

"Both madam and the child are well, a bit underweight, Ms. Kronos will need headache relief medicine, both her and the child is in need of a very light seasoned meal and drinks to not overwhelmed their senses in which I'll be providing." Alfred told then after handing the written documents forms of the examination. Batman could only grunt a bit, considering he trying not to look back at Alfred's glance considering his armored wrist had a tiny bite marks that actually dented the armor with indents.

"Ms. Kronos did asked what and where is this place as I asked what was the last thing she recalled was falling from Olympic while trying to hide her child but as she spoke, it seem to cause her abdominal pain that seem to be PTSD related." Alfred said to which batman nod knowing that Alfred would never lied to him.
