and the dueling trailers they've released for season 2.
RIP to the best to ever do it. Without Attewell, this podcast and a good portion of the ASOIAF community does not exist.
We shall never see his like again.
NotABlog is also NotAContract.
(In case you wanted our NotALegalOpinion).
p.s. GRRM has been on writing roll, please don’t be an ass and use today to spread bad vibes.
Pretty convinced that the first shot is the Great Council of 101 AC and the second is the actual ballot box that elected Viserys over Laenor. You can see the two people walking together down the center aisle in the main hall at Harrenhal.
In consideration for his leal service as a learned Hand of the King, as well as Master of Laws, the Westerosi Bar Association has awarded LYONEL STRONG with an honorary WBA number and hallowed place in our member roll.

RIP to a real one. ✋👑
Rudy Giuliani, if you’re out there, none of what we say can be construed as legal advice because these are FICTIONAL laws and we are definitely NOT. YOUR. LAWYERS.
Oyez, Oyez!⚖️Learned Hands, the Official Podcast of the Westerosi Bar Association⚖️is now in session with Episode 15: "The Horny Trial Of Rhaegar Targaryen”
The Topic: Should Rhaegar Targaryen go to Horny Jail, bonk?
THE HORNY PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN. We have closed off the voting on the crucial two part inquiry as to whether Rhaegar Targaryen should be sent to horny jail, bonk.
We received (no shit) 69 ballots. 😏
Many people are asking, they come up to us with tears in our eyes and say "Sir... Sir... please do an emergency trailer reaction pod, it would make HOTD great again." That's what we're gonna do, folks. We are gonna get a better deal, we're going to make people very happy again.

miss you all 💚 🐉 Leo ps thanks to all fans of the show for follows etc I’m trying to keep up - I promise. But there’s a lot …. What did I do 🤣🤣
This is so lovely. Neither of us thought really anyone would listen, it was just a way to pass the time in quarantine.
Thanks so much for all of your time, support, and engagement. It means the world to both of us.

#HouseoftheDragon
Season 1, Episode 3
On the one hand you have the purest soul in ASOIAF and the practical protagonist of the Seven Kingdoms and on the other you have a magical god-figure who will invade minds WITHOUT CONSENT and ignore pleas for help on his way to continental domination.
Choice is clear VOTE BARTH!
Match 58: Bran Stark, son of Ned( 12) vs Septon Barth (76)
Bran is gonna open up his 3rd eye, surf the weirwood net, & skinchange a dragon! Or he'll be corrupted by the evil forces at work. Barth, a good guy, but I’ll never forgive him for hiding deets about Aerea.
