Someone needs to make a Harry Potter meme of Harry, Ron and Hermione getting asked 'why is it whenever something happens its always you three'. Then photoshop Varys, Qyburn and Littlefinger into it.
The visual style in the artworks he uses have also become way more uniform. In early videos they were kinda all over the place. I've grown quite fond of these cartoon portraits.
@@tokevarvaspolvi8999 I love Preston's videos, but these artworks look very poor and cartoony to me.

Donald J Gump Official absolutely not to mention Preston has said he’d also like to cover Dunk and Egg. Which will be quite a few videos to cover all of Dunk and Egg.
Seriously. Martin must have to scroll through encyclopedias of information on all places, character, family trees, and past histories of ASOIAF, all while trying to produce a narrative flow that he is happy with.
Writing lore of ASoIaF, writing lore of Elden Ring, sleeping, eating, having fun,shilling for whomever might be against Trump at the very moment, talking lore with his consultants... basically everything that isn't writing Winds of Winter.
18:03 "...I never expected she would do it quite so fast ... I had hoped to have four or five quiet years to plant some seeds and allow some fruits to ripen..." Hah, GRRM meta-commentary about having to change the trajectories of certain plots due to dropping the planned five year timeskip.
Dude that's in the first book in the first qtr of the book. Clearly he never actually started writting with a five year time jump in mind. Initially he sent a plot outline to get a paycheck so he could write without working. That plot outline had a five year time jump but that plot outline was never the story he was going to write. So spaketh Martin. Despite what you might think this isn't contresial just alot of people get there information from TH-cam channels rather than actually reading the books or watching grrm interviews
@@leeroberts4850 Wtf are you talking about? What's in the first book in the first quarter of the book? The quote? That's incorrect if that's what you are referring to, it's from A Feast for Crows, which is book 4, just as it says ONSCREEN at the timestamp that I provided that displays the quote. I know exactly what he wrote in the plot outline, I've read the outline, I've read the books, I've watched the interviews, literally what the fuck are you talking about? Clearly you haven't watched the interviews, because there is this one: th-cam.com/video/cy8i3LAI0ys/w-d-xo.html where he states specifically that he had to throw away a year's worth of work on AFfC and start over on it because he had started writing with the five year timeskip and it didn't turn out to work well. So NO, it wasn't a case of "never the story he was going to write", he factually DID start to write that story and had to throw it away. Maybe next time before you open your fucking mouth and accuse others of not knowing what the fuck THEY'RE talking about, you oughta first make sure you know what the fuck YOU'RE talking about. Fucking goddamn.
@@Darkdaej I mean, what are you on about? Are you arguing against existential philosophy? Because I could certainly argue against it, or are you saying that because Sartre was personally problematic his philosophy is wrong? That’s invalid
If Taena was one of Vary's little birds in Esos, then it stands to reason that Varys arranged for her to marry Merryweather while he was exiled. Varys then arranges for Robert to pardon Merryweather so that Merryweather will return home. Varys is now using her to manipulate Cersei. The whole situation reeks of Varys.
@@BasicPrinciplesGTA That is a good point. It was mentioned of the littler birds. I wonder if it was true of the little mice(?) when Varys first started in Esos.
I think it’s interesting that Taena and her husband aren’t seen together much, and Taena’s son’s origin is very vague. Honestly the Merryweather’s reminds me of spies pretending to be married as a cover.
Bloodraven, Varys and Littlefinger basically have to be considered in every sigle scheme ^^ I predict Bloodraven will somehow enter the discussion even in this series
@@musculusiv4172 I was actually expecting him to say that Taena is an agent of Bloodraven using telepathy to discover Cersei's personality and sexuality.
Preston, you are legit a genius and a god among men. You have my absolute respect and reverence, good sir. Not to mention one of the funniest TH-camrs on the platform. Thank you for all the effort and hard work you put into your videos. It is very much appreciated by your fans!!
I just love how George R. R. Martin's work is so nuanced. And I love Preston's videos and theories on that work. They may or may not be right, but they are well thought out and thorough.
I’ve been watching your old videos from a few years ago and they’re amazing! I’m so glad you’re pulling out more info from the books and making many more great theories
This guy is genuinely my favourite youtuber by a country mile. And I love that he does these videos as a passion project on the side instead of trying to squeeze out a living from this stuff unlike most other ASOIAF tubers. If you look up 'quality over quantity' in the dictionary, I'm pretty sure you find Preston.
Preston thanks for another exciting video. The Taena/Cersei interactions were pretty awesome. I found it ironic that Cersei wanted Taena's son to become friends with Tommen so he would grow up with a "Ned at his back".
A new analysis focusing on King's Landing politics! Hell yeah! AdmiralKird said he would put one out too. But I'm so glad there's a brand new video series coming out.
My brain kept reading it as "Tyene" (like the Sand) but NO! YOU meant "That Merryweather Bitch" (as I've been remembering her) from the BOOKS 😍! Thanks for reminding us about her, we needed to catch up. She's been doing Cercei so dirty for SO long and I LOVE IT 💞
I discovered your work a month ago thanks to a friend who is a huge fan of you! Thanks you for all your theories about asoiaf and massive support from France
@@AbiShoukathAliA ha! You would think some dude overanalyzing lines in a fantasy book would be incredibly boring to watch, but nope. One of the most entertaining contents I've seen on this website.
So thrilled to see a new producer video with a totally unexpected topic. These are angles I hadn't even thought about. I mean, obviously theres something to all that coin talk, but with so many moving parts it's easy to miss things like what's buried in this relationship. Great work!
I didn't actually think we would get a new Preston video series until TWOW came out. This definitely took me by surprise. And such an interesting and underdiscussed topic at that! Well done. Much like Quyburn did in Ruben's cell, I'd say you found gold!
Had just went back and rewatched the entire Prepping For Winter playlist now that Mercy is finished. Was so excited to see another series starting. I was literally just thinking during the Arianne series when she talks about Lady Nym and Tyene in King's Landing that I wish I knew more about the dynamics and political motivations of the people at court. Perfect timing for this series. Just had to get that out before watching. Let us begin!
I reread Cersei IV, and Orton suggests that Cersei: * not get involved in the selection of a new high septon (and thereby forego having a High Septon that owes his position to her) * not get involved in Littlefinger's conflict with the Lords declarant (and thereby forego making him or them beholden to her) * start an alliance with The Ironmen for bogus reasons (that they are the "enemy of an enemy", when that enemy -- Robb -- is already dead), at the expense of risking pissing off the Boltons * not pay the Iron Bank, whereby they will have an incentive to back someone else * tell Wyman Manderley to send Davos to King's Landing so they can extract information from him (whereas Qyburn want Davos killed) * get rid of Jon Snow because he has supposedly allied with Stannis It seems to be that most of these are equally well suited for Aegon or Dorne to want Cersei to do. But points 1 indicate Aegon: if there wasn't any invasion coming, there is little point in interfering in the faith's selection process, as Stannis worships the R'hlor, so all of them are against him. But with Aegon's invasion coming, having a High Septon that in your debt might give Cersei an edge. But OTOH, point 4 suggests against Aegon: we know in hindsight that the Iron Bank decided to go with Stannis, and why would Aegon want that?
@@dorellanarange3614 But when the Iron Bank decided to side with Stannis, that meant that Illyrio has spend more money obtain the Iron Throne, which is clearly against his interests. It would be much better for him if the Iron Bank stayed out of it.
On point 4, it's possible Orton hoped the Iron Bank would back Aegon - Orton takes a hard anti-Stannis stance, encouraging offensive action against him. Maybe Orton hopes that if Stannis is defeated and no longer a viable candidate for the throne, the Iron Bank will have no choice but to go with Aegon.
Man, I used to be sooooooooooooooooo into GoT. That last season, and lack of WoW took me right out. This may be the push I need. Well this, and a trip through Pj's kickass vid selection
This is awesome. Thanks for the video man. I've been meaning to revisit the Cersei/Taena situation and this is the perfect summary. Can't wait for the next part.
I'm a huge fan and have enjoyed your ASOIAF content for years. The logic in your precidictions and the evidence you present makes it so hard to refute. I stop what I'm doing to watch a new Preston video. Great work dude!
I've watched this a 2nd time, and I think this may be a pivotal work in your studies. You have me sold on Taena + Varys, and the prospect of strengthening the Qyburn links of your whole Dornish Master Plan chain intrigues me. It could be that Qyburn set up Senelle not for experimentation but rather for "harsh questioning," and not for Cersei's edification but rather Dorne + GC's. Were Senelle known to them as an intimate of Highgarden, and this team specializing in crafty intelligence.
Found your channel just recently and love it! If 10% of your theories are true, then it's no wonder it takes Martin so long to write the books... You mentioned in your 1000 worlds book club that you were planning on a retrospect video, looking back at all the stories as a whole. Would very much enjoy that, so I hope you can find the time for it! And maybe a podcast about Martin's non-ASOIAF work as well? (That is, if you can find any other TH-camrs that have read any of that. It's kinda baffling to me that so many of the ASOIAF-tubers seem uninterested in connection the dots between ASOIAF and Martin's previous work...)
Preston, dude... You're just so darn good at this. I know you work a job, I can't remember which, but you must be doing an amazing job there. IDK, analysis on this level is just mind boggling. Just like LML, it makes me understand why GRRM is taking his time.
My expectation for the end of every one of Preston's videos: "and, of course, we must acknowledge that Quentyn Martell is still alive. That's it for part __, see you in part __".
i finished the books when i was 17 so i didnt get this things but because of your channel im rereading them and now in english to know what the author really wanted to say (it is not my mother language and the translation changes some things)
Speaking of ads, Preston, they're getting worse. Please do something about it if you can. The one I got today was a 47 minute lecture on how to psychologically abuse women, (if the first 30 seconds were representative of the rest).
Someone needs to make a Harry Potter meme of Harry, Ron and Hermione getting asked 'why is it whenever something happens its always you three'. Then photoshop Varys, Qyburn and Littlefinger into it.
@Ulises Leon Well......lets see the meme!
@Ulises Leon Also on point with the Kettlefinger. Its a game of honey dicking
And also Mance Rayder! I'd say the trifecta is actually Littlefinger, Bloodraven and Mance Rayder.
@@vitormelomedeiros Nice, maybe Tyrion for being good at stirring the pot
The children, bloodraven, and marwin.
I like how his editing hasn’t changed one bit in like 7 years
He's got a better mic now, but that's about it. Preston's got his own style, it would feel weird if it changed too dramatically.
The visual style in the artworks he uses have also become way more uniform. In early videos they were kinda all over the place. I've grown quite fond of these cartoon portraits.

Should have named this series the Myrish swamp.
I like it when Preston analyses the books. No far-fetched theories or tinfoil, just some good insight on little things we might have missed.
Except when he starts quoting philosophers like Sartre who openly supported pedophilia and delves into 3rd wave feminism.

I reread Cersei IV, and Orton suggests that Cersei:
* not get involved in the selection of a new high septon (and thereby forego having a High Septon that owes his position to her)
* not get involved in Littlefinger's conflict with the Lords declarant (and thereby forego making him or them beholden to her)
* start an alliance with The Ironmen for bogus reasons (that they are the "enemy of an enemy", when that enemy -- Robb -- is already dead), at the expense of risking pissing off the Boltons
* not pay the Iron Bank, whereby they will have an incentive to back someone else
* tell Wyman Manderley to send Davos to King's Landing so they can extract information from him (whereas Qyburn want Davos killed)
* get rid of Jon Snow because he has supposedly allied with Stannis
It seems to be that most of these are equally well suited for Aegon or Dorne to want Cersei to do. But points 1 indicate Aegon: if there wasn't any invasion coming, there is little point in interfering in the faith's selection process, as Stannis worships the R'hlor, so all of them are against him. But with Aegon's invasion coming, having a High Septon that in your debt might give Cersei an edge. But OTOH, point 4 suggests against Aegon: we know in hindsight that the Iron Bank decided to go with Stannis, and why would Aegon want that?
Aegon has Illyrios money and he still can win the IR.
@@dorellanarange3614 But when the Iron Bank decided to side with Stannis, that meant that Illyrio has spend more money obtain the Iron Throne, which is clearly against his interests. It would be much better for him if the Iron Bank stayed out of it.
On point 4, it's possible Orton hoped the Iron Bank would back Aegon - Orton takes a hard anti-Stannis stance, encouraging offensive action against him.
Maybe Orton hopes that if Stannis is defeated and no longer a viable candidate for the throne, the Iron Bank will have no choice but to go with Aegon.
If Stannis is indebted, he can in time be pressured to bend the knee. I count the Iron Bank to be on Team Aegon.
Ohh, thank you so much for covering this character's involvement. Looking forward to the next vid!

Preston, dude... You're just so darn good at this. I know you work a job, I can't remember which, but you must be doing an amazing job there. IDK, analysis on this level is just mind boggling. Just like LML, it makes me understand why GRRM is taking his time.
A new series...thank you Preston! 💚💛
Preston! Glad to have you back man!
This is great timing, I'm on my 6th read-through and I just started Feast
My expectation for the end of every one of Preston's videos: "and, of course, we must acknowledge that Quentyn Martell is still alive. That's it for part __, see you in part __".
A brand new video series? Finally some delicious fucking content
When Preston uploads on your bday... Myrish swampin
Happy Birthday
Never before have I yelled out loud because I was so excited by a notification on my phone
i finished the books when i was 17 so i didnt get this things but because of your channel im rereading them and now in english to know what the author really wanted to say (it is not my mother language and the translation changes some things)
He's back!!!! Hope you and your family are well!
My favourite youtuber doing an analysis on some of my favourite chapters? I've died and gone to heaven
Woooow last time we got a non-podcast vid the sarnori were still around ❤️️
Oooh, this is a topic that I am thrilled to see you cover. Not gonna lie, I've always been a bit of a Cersei fan over the rest.
Finally someone with taste!
Watching those Ads!
So happy to see a new video from you
Speaking of ads, Preston, they're getting worse. Please do something about it if you can. The one I got today was a 47 minute lecture on how to psychologically abuse women, (if the first 30 seconds were representative of the rest).
