Steve Kerr on GSW having a start a lot of people didn't see coming: > I'm like Arya from Game of Thrones. Like I have all the names of of the media members who picked us to be outside the playoffs and I'm just checking off the box. Every time I see one of those guys I just give them a little glare and they know what that means.
> But what face will you be wearing when we go? That's what I wanna know.
> Nobody knows. The man with no nameโthey may knowโbut nobody else knows.
I'm wondering, if Tywin died, could that have been enough to prevent the Red Wedding and or even have Robb win the war? If Tywin dies, the Lannisters lose their most powerful player. Also he wouldn't have time to plot with Roose Bolton for the betrayal. And Stannis maybe would've even won at Blackwater.
Or am I missing something? Bc so far I'm thinking Arya is pretty dumb for now naming him first lol.
Arya was a top baby name in the US for nearly the entire Game of Thrones run. Will Wheel of Time create baby name trends too? Will we see a bevy of baby Nynaeves and Lans running around in a couple years?
(Spelling counts! Especially for Mat, Elayne and Thom.)
It was a fic where she names 3 different names, and everyone knows she is the one that sent the faceless man.
Arya's pick of names were bad in terms of giving house Stark the best chances at victory. She chose people of zero significance to the war as a whole. They were bad evil men but most soldiers commit evil acts in war.
She had 3 sure deaths. Tywin seems an obvious choice but in my opinion a bad one. The Lannisters would still have Tyrion. They would havea competent commander in Levan Lannister. I dont think killing Tywin woukd have made a huge difference.
Stannis wanted to kill Rob and he was dangerous. Renly was also Rob's enemy. He had declared himself a king and had taken half of the kingdom. They both saw him as an enemy who would not bend the knee.
I think the best choices were Joffrey, Tommen and Myrcella. Kill all 3 and the Lannisters totally lose their purpose in the war. Killing Joffrey is not enough. As Tommens claim still exists for the lanjistwrs to back. Same with myrcella. The labnisters woul just ignore the succession law of the male uncle coming before the female daughter.
Kill all 3 and the lannisters have nothing. Taking them out of the war. They were Robs main enemies.
I remember hearing about a lot of GOT kids names popping up...
I'm playing with a story I'm outlining, and I've thought of two based on the context of my story. One is Renly, one is an OC. Roose is ultimately not siding with the Starks and already ruminates about betraying them a bit earlier than normal. However, I can't decide on a third one. It made me want to ask who you think Roose would ask him to kill.
Part of me thinks he'd name Tywin still to destabilize the South. I also think it's very possible he would name another prominent Northern Lord that would get in his way of claiming the North, such as Manderly or Umber. My other thought is Cersei, to prevent her foolishness from getting in the way of things.
The three names are still Arya's, but this is Roose manipulating her while she still thinks he's a loyal bannerman.
He obviously wants to undermine House Stark while also not being too open about things, i.e., he can't ask her to name Robb. He can try to convince her certain lords are traitors though.
What it says on the tin. Seems like an obvious premise, yet I've never stumbled upon a fic like that. (Granted, I'm new to the fandom.)
Outside of one close friend, I've had to do my process alone given I fell out with the biggest trans org here and sadly I seem to see those same faces pop up in other trans groups as well as LGBT ones which means I struggle at making those connections.
I saved for SRS by myself but sadly, there is one time where he can't help me just due to his circumstances changing. By the time I'm getting SRS (in a couple of years) he'll be moving away and also working on his family's farm basically all the time so can't make the trip. Although I found one or two people based in England who'd be able to pick me up from the hospital, they can't make the return trip.
I'm not allowed to get SRS without someone picking me up after discharge and without someone to help me get home, it's an option closed off to me as I'm aware I'd need the help in getting back in one piece but can't find anyone willing to make the full journey. Sure, I asked about aftercare when I'm home alone and it's just a case of prepping but if there's nobody to help me get home then that leaves surgery off the table.
I'm afraid. I'm afraid that all of my years of grinding have been for nothing. I'm afraid that I'll be trapped with this body forever, never able to feel peace. Never able to be touched by another person because the idea of that disgusts me so greatly. Afraid I'll never be in a relationship because I can only attract a chaser because of the parts I was cursed with at birth.
I'm afraid and I don't know what to do anymore.
Hello r/Tekken! Iโm Arya, and together with a team I run a YouTube channel called That Blasted Salami.
Since the console release of Tekken 7 weโve created a bunch of guides and videos to help people get into the game. I also run a podcast called Wavedash, which has been on hiatus for a while, but will be coming back soon.
Whilst we're more of a multi-fighting game channel these days, we're still big fans of Tekken. Really looking forward to answering your questions about me, Tekken or anything really!

This a re-post.
