One of my favorite things about the ASOIAF story is the undying loyalty so many people have to Ned and the Starks way after Ned is gone and even when it seems like the Starks are pretty much wiped out. Ned's "honor" is exactly why his family will *not* be wiped out.
@JoBloonsk don't forget to drink some water. Try some box breathing. Maybe do a little outside time if the weather is good. Spending some time gazing at the sky or horizon can be really good for resetting the brain.
@@jeffrooturantula2081 I’m not at all embarrassed to admit I am fearful for the women in this country. 3 women in Texas this week passed away because they had a miscarriage and doctors would NOT perform the life saving healthcare to remove the passed away fetus. These women were mothers, they wanted these babies and they are dead now. Their husbands are widows and their children motherless. Many, many, many more women will die. They will continue to do so until Roe vs. Wade is reestablished, which it has no hope of being now. Human lives are fair more valuable to me than money. When access to reproductive healthcare (including abortion) is restricted both infant and maternal mortality rates spike. We are already seeing it in the states that has restricted access. Also, just an fyi, his tax plan is horrible unless you make more than 500k/year. And even if you do the tariffs are going to make prices go insane. The tax gets passed onto the consumer. Add on he wants to dismantle the DOE, FEMA, FCC, FTC, EPA, do away with Medicare and SS.. there were many many many things riding on this election and unfortunately people are so short sided they think cheap groceries and gas (which again, he’s not going to get you if he does his plan) is worth more than the all of the VITAL resources I just listed. I pray his administration does not go as horrifically as I think it will. Also just fyi… OBAMA was President in 2016. Not trump :) he was inaugurated in 2017. So… yeah if it WAS like 2016 and Obama was somehow back no I would not be this depressed
@@jeffrooturantula2081 I am not embarrassed to admit I am scared for the women of this country. This week in Texas alone 3 women passed away because they had a miscarriage and doctors would not remove the passed away fetus… These women were people. They had whole, full lives ahead of them. These women were mothers. They wanted these babies. Their husbands are now widowed. Their children motherless. This is what overturning Roe v Wade has done. Women AND babies are dying at higher rates in states that restricted access to reproductive healthcare. I care about human lives more than money. More women and babies will die until Roe v Wade is restored, which it has no hope of now… at least for the next 4 years. Also his tax plan mainly benefits the wealthy. And his tariff plan is going to cause insane inflation. Also Obama was President in 2016 so yeah no if we were truly going back to 2016 I would be this depressed. Trump wasn’t in office until 2017.
14:30 it wasnt loras in renlys armor at the blackwater it was his brother garland i think...or his other brother...either way it was loras in the show in the books it was one of loras' brothers
Nice low key extra new social media link at the 50 min mark, elusive & exclusive as ever! Glidus has you beat with the pristine & blank Blue Sky account, that’s going for that ‘if you know, you know’ vibe!? 😹
no waaay! I just finished the 22h Fake Jon Snow video yesterday! I felt so empty inside after it ended (Best season ever!), so I went back to ACOCK abridged this morning :) Reading is for nerds after all.
Just yesterday, I was scrolling through your live section, hoping that you dropped a new abridged episode, but seeing that the last one was seven months ago! And now you're BACK! Missed you so much! 😍
I think it’s particularly sad that Tyrion and Cersei are so locked into hating one another. One of Tyrion’s lines „All dwarves are bastards in their father‘s eyes“ could also pretty much apply to daughters when it comes to Tywin. And the constant battle between Tyrion and Cersei only ever makes both of them incompetent thus justifying their father‘s lack of confidence.
Today is a good day! Not to put pressure on you, but at this rate, Preston Jacobs is going to catch up to the abridged series with his “Going over” series rereading the books! And in the meantime he’s also catching up to George writing Winds of Winter 😂
Lmfao what? Even if the people you disagree with win they still only have so much power. No matter how bad you think the winner is they are still bound by the framework of our government. You’re gonna be fine and life will go on as if nothing happened There is a reason why American democracy has stood the test of time for nearing 300 years now. The founding fathers were extremely smart and they designed a system that’s almost impossible to be hijacked and turned tyrannical
@@JohnNeo19Except American Democracy hasn't done that. The Founding Fathers were largely slave-owners and swindlers who built a nation that protected the interests of moneyed white men. It took almost a century for black people to not be enslaved, another half before women could vote, another half again before those free black people could reliably vote. The framework of the US government allows a lot. There's also the fact that the USA is fundamentally not a democracy. At so many levels from the Electoral College to Voter Apathy the US fails to fulfil the notion of a government by, of, or for "the people" and show that they have been and always will be for the interests of the moneyed white man. Why waste my time, your time, and the time of everyone cursed enough to listen to you try and play defense for a system that does and will continue to cause harm?
Can't say I blame Tyrion for not believing Cersei's show of affection at the end there, considering what she was attempting to do with him just moments before at the small council. Perhaps if Cersei had been trying to mend the rift before, and then her apology and kiss, it could have landed a bit cleaner in Tyrion's head.
if I had a nickle for every time a major asoiaf content creator got it wrong who wore Renly's armor at the blackwater *in their stream within the last 4 days,* I'd have 2 nickles now. Which isn't a lot, but kinda funny Preston just made the exact same mistake (saying it was Loras) on Sunday.
WE HAVE NEVER BEEN SO BACK!
Needed after potentially the biggest “it’s so over” in recent history
@@wolafire (If we're being serious I do agree, but) I like how Schwifty himself only got to 0:42 before defying you. 🙂
@@wolafireBecause there are no politics in A Song of Ice and Fire, right? 🤓
Get a life lol
@@wolafire I do. That's why I said "If we're being serious I do agree".
when the world needed him most, he returned
Schwifty is the Avatar, confirmed!
He hath returned the mighty lord schwift to free us from the darkness of….. READING
Such a sacrifice
Thanks Schwifty, looking forward to hearing from you soon in early 2026 for Sansa VI
I immediately checked and I had already clicked the bell, it just feels like it's been crazy long
This aged poorly !!!
he could still be correct.
An ACOK that's under an hour long?? Blasphemy!
(jk thank you Schwifty
Nah this is just a demo
Oh thank gawd, Schwift. This is beyond needed. Please come back and stay. The world needs you.
This legitimately might be the best thing to happen this week

Thank you for coming out with this now. Please keep it up, it's a great distraction from the world
Still convinced that this series will end before we get winds
I can’t tell you how happy I am to see this in my feed this morning
thank you… I haven’t stopped crying in 36 hours, thank you for posting this I needed a pick me up today

My drive home later is sorted. Schwifty comes through again.
Bet Elon is saving a playlist of alt for his trip to mars
listened to this on spotify already but doing my part for the algorithm here
14:30 it wasnt loras in renlys armor at the blackwater it was his brother garland i think...or his other brother...either way it was loras in the show in the books it was one of loras' brothers
Wow, I just had a really shitty day and thought nothing can improve it at this point.
And then I saw this and smiled very wide, cheers Schwifty:)
YES!!! I GOT A NEW ACOKABRIDGED FOR MY BIRTHDAY! \o/ Couldn't have asked for anything better. 🥳
Happy birthday!! ❤

I felt so empty inside after it ended (Best season ever!), so I went back to ACOCK abridged this morning :)

Paused the video to like and comment, now time to enjoy 😊Welcome back!
My cok is definitely abridged
Underrated comment
@@fearlessduck1773 I feel terribly unoriginal tho
I'VE PRAYED FOR TIMES LIKE THESE
I swear there's still a high chance you'll be finished with every chapter before the last two books are released
If they are EVER released 😹😹😹
I NEED more abridged videos they have turned into my favorite content you make! Keep up the great work🫶🏻
This chapter made me so happy! One of my favourites 🌞
IVE WAITED SO LONG 😭 plz don’t stop this series
Ty for this schwifty! I've been patiently waiting for new episodes and this was a nice pick-me-up :)
Just yesterday, I was scrolling through your live section, hoping that you dropped a new abridged episode, but seeing that the last one was seven months ago!
And now you're BACK! Missed you so much! 😍
Needed this one today. Thank you 💖💖💖💖
OMG WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE
Somehow, Darth Schwiftius returned
I opened TH-cam see an abridged video at the top. Life is good
Now this is what I needed today; thanks for doing this :)
YAAS OMG schwift thank you thank you thank you. PLEASE start releasing these more often!! We LOVE them
Thank you Mr. Schwift you have no idea how much I needed this
Woo! Wasn’t expecting this but I’m delighted. Thanks Schwifty!
Always good to hear from you, Sciff! 😊
Schwifto actually recorded this in the late 90s, it just takes him this long to edit out all the tangents
I never expected to see this day, and out of nowhere, he returned … when we needed him most

And in the meantime he’s also catching up to George writing Winds of Winter 😂
Thank god. For a second there I thought you stopped this series
You fool of an Alt! You’re better than George with the gaps in production, though now I expect more!
What a treat, and after such a lousy couple of days too!
WE'RE BACK! I NEEDED THIS
Omg I never thought I’d see one of these till Winds
Much needed my friend 🙃
gods, we needed this
Love these videos, please continue 🎉
Nooo I was late😭. Oh well, let's try again in 6 months.
ACOK is at full (pink) mast LETS GO
right when we needed it most

There's nothing quite so jarring as hearing somebody refer to Bolt-On without a single hint of irony 😂
Holy crap!!! It's ... Back!
My chin is dripping in grease with excitement

Its sad that Tyrion and Cercei dont get the love from each other that they seek from their father.
Praise be
We are so back... AGAIN
Huzzah! We. Are. BACK BABEY!!!
I love this series more than the audio books.
A real king knows the meaning of Counter Programming. Long may he reign.
I LOVE COK
if I had a nickle for every time a major asoiaf content creator got it wrong who wore Renly's armor at the blackwater *in their stream within the last 4 days,* I'd have 2 nickles now.
Which isn't a lot, but kinda funny Preston just made the exact same mistake (saying it was Loras) on Sunday.
Oh yeah it was Garlan!
39:30 dragon threat
What does Varys not have?
ACOK
Which will happen first: Schwifty finishing this series or Martin finishing TWoW?
