glidus says hi
Please never stop abridging, the ACOK must flow
He who controls ACOK controls life
Let ACOK flow 🙌🪱
@@maxwellkazemba2299
I think thats how the patriarchy started
ACOK stands!
Old and strong!
I want ACOK so bad right now
Bron is definitely going to end of as Lord of the Crossing, not of High Garden. He was promised two castles, and the best way to give him that is to have two identical castles on either side of a toll bridge. There is no way he could manage the largest agricultural region, but he could do quite well demanding money to let people cross the river.
Ive been saying this for a while too
It's not the Jon Snow video we asked for, but the one we deserved.
Nice background of Kit Harrington observing the pace of this channel's analysis.
Cant take credit for this, but a while back I saw a comment saying that Schwift and Glidus should play Guess Who with ASOIAF characters and I still think that would be a stupidly wonderful idea
Oh please let this happen
"Are they a Targaryen?"
"Some people say so."
*doesn't knock any portraits down*
OmgYEEESSS
IT WAS MEEEE! On the glidus x schwifty character alignment video.
I still eagerly await when they take up my suggestion 😢
Up
Thanks so much for another ACOK Abridged!
Honestly I don't think Jon is oblivious in Dance, it's just that he is too occupied with a million different things and he views antagonizing the Nights Watch senior members as inevitable given his wildling agenda. They did not even act against him until Jon boldly defects to go off battle Ramsay, making it honestly kind of justified.
On Benjen and Coldhands- I think it's possible that it's just Benjens body, and it's some other old spirit warging into him. That would answer both George's "It's not Benjen :)" note and also Leaf's later words about him being very old.
Man i could just put Schwift on and listen for hours, especially when occasionally dunking on the show and seeing what could have been.
I've been binging the abriged episodes like crazy and his voice is sooooo soothing holy shit like I work with the podcast on the background and it's so good, glad to see the episodes are coming back
This really made me realise how weird Ghost was behaving and you sold me on the Bloodraven controlling him theory. Also most of the men being rightfully pissed off that Mormont dragged them up north is just!! Aldo Coldhands getting a second cloak from somewhere is hilarious!!
Gagging, Screaming, Throwing up! I'm so happy to see ya my men. I'm also enjoying the occasional LML references, someone's been keeping up with the symbolism. Keep on keeping on. Much love ❤
Wonder if a stark could meet Bloodraven inside their respective warged Dire wolves if the opportunity arose… and shit that’s a 3heads in 1 reference to Daemon’s song to Vermithor…too weird?
I believe it was Sun Tzu who once said: "Never, ever, face off against an elephant situation."
Maybe jon becomes more blind in the later books because of the work and pressure around being a commander. Easier to be perceptive when your mind is free.
Thank you so much for this and the bday wishes, mr Schwift! Turning 29 just got so wholesome❤ you're phenomenal and we love all that you do! You gave us that Greasy ACOK! 💛
you will be 40 by the time we get winds 😞
"Do you want an oliphaunt situation? Cause that's how you get a oliphaunt situation"
mormont is just a beverage girlie and i personally appreciate the beverage girlie representation
I’ve been listening to the podcast version of this at work lately and I’ve had to stop myself from listening at home too because I knew I’d run out, so glad it’s back!!
Same, been binging them like crazy, my productivity has gone up a lot but I'm running out! Buts it's been so fun retaking the series, I've been listening and then watching the first episodes just to see all the details and it's been so great
We don't blame you for taking your time with these - ACOK is certainly a mouthful
1:52:45 it just warms me Schwifty shell that you remember me.
6 years and countin
Finally, the Jon story we have been waiting for.
Bring back Abridged!! I demand it!
On the thesis statement "there's some good in this world Mr Frodo, and it's worth fighting for"
Glidus and Schwift should rank gore/death descriptions
your timing is amazing, this is the 4th video youve uploaded when im in the middle of a 20+ hour road trip. cheers for making it a little less boring
Best "Wwwwwwwelcome" yet!! Keep up the great work Schwifty
I can't believe it ahhh
I'm rereading ASOIAF rn and for the first time I'm reading it in English instead of German. And after finishing a chapter I turned to GOT Abrigded which I've never listened to before. I'm at the beginning of ACOK rn and this is timed so well. Can't wait to listen to it soon :)))
Don't worry you will have plenty of time to catch up lmao :) See you when you're done!
@@ceilingfanenthusiast6041 Listening to this episode rn haha
I'm far into ASOS though but I couldnt keep up with the Abridged Series, the episodes have just gotten too long xD (which is a good thing obvi haha)
I'm re-reading the series in German after reading it in English! I actually think it's really good in German. And I'm learning so many useful phrases like "Fallgitter" and "einen Treueid ablegen" and "um Gnade flehen"
God lord, it's been a while since I had ACOK. I really needed one.
I really think this would be great as a semi-weekly, every 2 weeks sort of deal. That's 26 chapters/year, so you would still have several years worth of content, and you would get considerably more engagement, which is never a bad thing in the TH-cam world.
Literally just binge watching this series again and a new video pops up
I missed the live but I'm so happy to have another chapter! Thanks Schwift!
Same❤😢
Ah, just barely missed it! I've been waiting on the next one! Well, get to listen to it now!
The mad lad is back
He's back!!!! ☺️
See you fellas in 6 months for hot Bran
Missed this so much! Thanks for another episode!
Dammit, I don’t want to be caught up. Please keep doing this abridged series!
Always glad to hear your voice doing any ‘abridging around Westeros’ especially new more recents (been dying to catch live stream!) Thanks luv it appreciate your one of a kind just brilliance, sarcasm and fun facts❤❕🫡
Never new this existed until this was live a few weeks ago. Just finished catching up!
You greedy person you’ll regret gorging yourself 😊
😂understandable did same thing when first discovered and now am trying to catch a live stream❤!
This is the best thing that happened to me this week. Please do more. ❤❤❤❤
I'm so happy to see this! I normally listen on podcast apps but I came to give you a view!
we miss you schwift
Aaaaawwwww dang !!!! I missed it by a few minutes !!! Next time Schwifty ! Lol...
But for real...you have blessed us with this video. Thanks man 😎
I was 8th grade when this series started, now i'm finishing my sophomore year of uni
The prodigal son returns!! Please never stop!
Of Coldhands, Leaf said “They killed him long ago.” Leaf is at least 200 years old. A few months isn’t a long time for them.
And to that end, bloodraven is like Half of Leaf’s age. She probably doesn’t even think he’s been in the cave that long. I say that to say that Coldhands is probably older than Brendyn Rivers. Mayhaps hundreds, Mayhaps thousands of years old
Please continue doing this I miss
These really are a TH-cam highlight especially now secrets of the citadel doesn’t grace us with her presence, don’t worry you don’t need to rush you have plenty of time
Thank you!!❤❤
Please schwifty keep making these videos they are so much fun where are the old schwifty days
always a great time listening in. please never stop these. u deserve each sub going your way.
Come back to us, a man needs ACOK
Hey man there’s a guy named alt shift x who’s been using ur voice and doing some crazy Ai shit.
Either way thanks for this!
I think it’s time to worry.
What a SCOUNDREL. This "Alt Shift X" imposter must be STOPPED.
Love these! Please make more!
Yessssssss you're back you legend
That intro is iconic
I haven't actually quite caught up yet, still at episode 98 but great to see new episodes coming out
this is the best channel on youtube
He is BACK! can finally fall asleep again
the legend is back
Thank you so much for this, Schwifty!!! 💙💙 Always so interesting to hear your interpretations and so much fun fo hear your jokes! I hope you´re doing great!! (Also you have a lot of bastard children...)
2 hour long ACOK?!? Today is a good day
6:00 Schwifty has become Preston-Pilled, very based mr schwift
Also it could be that coldhands is the dead body of Benjen, but is not completelly Benjen anymore
Yeah maybe that's what GRRM meant when he wrote that Coldhands isn't Benjen!
@@AltSchwiftX Oh boy its the big cheese himself!! Sure the theory that its last hero or other ancient watchman is equally as interesting. If there was a thousands of years old coldhands there should be a nights guard legend of a weird watchman saving lost rangers in the wilderness.
I hear that would this Cold Hands that is apparently so old honestly only have two or three accounts, all in modern time, all involving Stark related business? Good point!
Jon would probably give Longclaw back to Jorah, gets Dark Sister from Bran, and Blackfyre would go to Dany’s possession after feeding fAegon to Drogon
half expected winds to be out before this
Please do more ❤❤❤❤
As soon as you mentioned Frodo I also noticed some similarities between Jon’s burned hand and Frodos wound from Weathertop. A reminder of the true evil that presents itself as residual pain from time to time.
This channel hit 7777 subscribers during the reading of episode 105, and then he thanks everyone for 100k at the start of 106
❤fun # occurrences as well 😊
2:33 It’s a hill with 4 ridges running parallel down the slope and a fifth outcropping on a side forming a sort of hollow
please dont stop doing these! take ur time but just keep going...evn if u get to feast for crows u will be the only youtuber who has gone over grrms books to that point...ive rarely seen anyone go beyond clash of kings...so be the man that does itt!!
not a podcast.. pooodcast
The children tell Bran that they [wights] killed him [Coldhands] long ago. "Long ago," probably ruled out Benjin.
Think it could’ve been the “children “ who killed him long ago?
And I’ve read a fair few people’s comments about using fresher bodies or replacing them with same purpose/possibly warged white…?
@@jolinefields3460 🤔
@@user-ln7jw2qn6h to be cleari was talking about the “They” being themselves the children and a possible body swapping with newer recently deceased being brought back as white created by children and after using a body till it can’t work any longer then replacing the body with fresher one using their magic and supplanting same hive mind/any mind also of children’s creating…? Not bad one….far as theory goes
Ghost was ALWAYS different from the others, I think if Ghost is thirsty, he's gonna stop for a drink. LOL. Hes like YO Bryndon holda holda holda, get out mah head a mo, I'm THIRSTY.
ITS BLOODRAVENS CLOAK???
Every aabridged he says "This would be fun to do more regularly" then regularly does them once a year lol
And we know he not only cared for his brothers.
He loves his nephew.
So happy to see this! Thanks Schwift!
My friend was listening to this on his phone in bed and his gf went in beside him, picked up his phone to put it on the bedside stand, looked at the video, and said “what’s a cock?” My friend said he laughed for a solid 5 min cause she said she thought it was a gay book 😂
Lmao, cant blame her
I HAVE NOTIFICATIONS ON AND STILL MISSED IT😭😭
youtube is being warged by bloodraven
Same 😢❤
Alt schwift vs GRRM
Who's winning the race ???
At this rate abridged will be finished before George finishes his next winds chapter
@@shutit8949 depressing, isn't it? I would never forgive George. The constant promises, the long waiting, the depressing updates. Damn him and his book.
The main reason I don't like the Benjen = Coldhands theory is Bran not recognizing him. Secondary is Leaf saying they killed him long ago. Authors notes in the margins of a manuscript are only a shade above fan speculation as evidence for something.
I think you're working ACOK real hard, keep it up king
this feels even better than what id imagine twow premiere would be
Can’t wait to see which jokes will split my sides and which observations blow my mind
thank u for a new episode and screw u for making us wait so long 😭😭
Jon Snow chapters are great, dude has underrated quips
Only learned to really appreciate the Jon chapters via these Alt Shwift abridged accounts ❤😂❕
Nothing tastier than new ACOK abridged
I haven't listened to ACOK in A LONG TIME!! This BLEW MY FUCKING MIND THE OTHER DAY that I got on a listening tangent.... And I'm HERE!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!! I've got to get LML listening to this... ITS A BLOODY FUCKING BRILLIANT OBSERVATION. More than a theory ESPECIALLY when you're listening to it on audio because you get that really oppressive feeling of fucking danger... Like GOT's Prologue the trees and what not... No...
"A Ring fort of the First Men." (All appreciating the history of the place)
"You think there was a battle fought here?"
Me: NO I THINK THERE WAS A FUCKIN MASSACRE HERE!!! TIME TO GET THE FUCK OUUUUT!!!!"😢😢😮😮😮
Tell LML hello🤓🌈 and hey hey to u JofOS❕😇🥰
@@jolinefields3460 I'm such a wus, because even though I've read it a gazillion times... I still get scared of that prologue.
Ever read Stephen King's "Bag of Bones"? That has the same kind of vibe. Scared the shit out of me!!!
@@jolinefields3460 absolutely. I'm so glad you commented because I've wanted to share this with him for a long time...
@@jenny_of_oldstones3523 I haven’t read that but I will give it a shot!(idk maybe you’ll have to read it at same time I wouldn’t have guessed you’d be scared of anything 💀❕😱🥰🌈
@@jenny_of_oldstones3523 JofOS you’re a rock 💫 star(no pun intended lol, or intended whatever way you’re a legend happy to see u on any stream🤓😻🌟🫡
I LISTENED TO THE ENTIRE AUDIOBOOK SERIES TWICE IN THE TIME ITS TAKING YOU TO DO ANOTHER ACOK ABRIDGED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GET OFF YOUR GOT DAMN AUSSIE ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HotD and Acok I see you George
Came to see him talk about Renly’s peach only to realize he hasn’t gotten there yet :(
Best thIng on TH-cam
CHRIST I THOUGHT IT'D NEVER COME BACK. I A SO HAPPY
Oh my God I just listen to this again. It’s so funny it’s just the best his funny is. I appreciate it very much.good story
"Jon might gain red eyes like X and white hair like Y!"
*Leaves out the red-eyed white-haired Targaryen bastard Lord Commander who has literally been looking over Jon's shoulder*
Please continue this series.. im begging you
He could of gotten the "other" cloak from ol Blood Raven as he would of had a black cloak before becoming tree
The one stream I miss he mentions Tuf Voyaging
0:01 puts popcorn in the microwave
my favourite bridge
I'm happy to have acok, but sad I'll have to wait half a year to have it again 😢
Imagine if ever half a year everyone in the world switches gender
So glad Schwifty is back instead of that fony Alt Shift X
