The Dragon Has Three Heads

[Florian the Fool]

A kind of purpley-red, I always thought. Close enough for me, anyhow. I was pretty much sold on R+L=J already.

 

[Faceless Woman]

So was I. Nevertheless, red is not purple.

 

[Aegon the Unworthy]

Yes but Red + Blue= Purple....and Lyanna loved Blue Roses....and Ghosts eyes are red, so Jon is the illegitimate son of Ghost and Lyanna....my logic is astonishing sometimes....

All that aside, I think ascribing eye color as proof of parentage is ridiculous. It could be indicative yes but as actual proof its silly. Unless of course you have some genealogical data that proves it.....I think Ghost is different because Jon is different, thats all. Or Jon is different because Ghost is different, your call on that one....the extended metaphor that is the wolves can only go so far before it breaks down anyhow.

 

[Faceless Woman]

LMAO. So Jon is part Direwolf. That explains a lot.
Whenever someone says Blue Roses I think of the Glass Menagarie, a play by Tenassee Williams (boy Americans give their kids weird names). Does anyone know what I'm talking about? No?
Ok, I'll go be random somewhere else.

 

[Florian the Fool]

I got so excited about this little theory that I dug out a copy of AGOT to find out just what colour Ghost's eyes were, and found that they are, in fact, "as red as the blood of the ragged man who had died that morning".

I briefly toyed with the idea of arguing that Gared's blood might actually have been purple before giving up and admitting that I shouldn't post on an empty stomach.

In my defence, I would say that I wasn't offering the colour of Ghost's eyes as uncontestable proof of Jon's Targaryen parentage, merely that they might have been a clue from the author. But that is by the by, as I was quite spectaculary and inexcusably wrong.

I'll go and crawl back into my hole for another 6 -12 months.

 

[Faceless Woman]

Oh, don't leave. Laughing at your silly mistakes is the best part of coming here.

 

[ChasenFate]

Wow! This thread is still going after I posted it over a year ago....

 

[MemmoN]

Dany's, Euron, Tyrion.

 

[Thoheeks Bili]

Albinos actually have red eyes............but then again human blood is generally so dark as to look like purple, until spread thinner or diluted in water/sprayed across my face after I buried my axe in their heads..................ooops, I digress..............LMAO

3 heads= 3 dragons=3 riders( of the dragons, not necessarily Dany,.......... wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more, know what I mean?)
Don't know who other than Dany, but I like Jon for sure............the other????

My axe...........quickly

 

[Foppish Knight]

Might make sense to pick people in proximity to Dany, or likely to be in the near future.

So, Jon, Arya, Dany. Assuming Dany lands North to fend off the nasties.

Well, I'm not so sure what to make of GRRM's most recent posting on his Not a Blog, but I think it's a pretty strong clue:

"Well, I made my appearance on Sheep Island a few hours ago, cleverly disguised as Tyrion the Imp for a reading and Q&A session at Bantam's virtual bookstore. Only this version of Tyrion could fly! Ah, if only the Tyrion in the books could fly, what mischief he will... ah... could... ah, never mind."


It's a development that I have been hoping for anyways... Tyrion on the back of a dragon!

 

[Aegon the Unworthy]

No no no. There is no way you can ride a dragon and get drunk. Seriously wine everywhere. And its not like you can just stick the goblet between yer legs like people who drive automatics do.

Maybe if they installed cup, err flagon-holders. I smell a patent coming.

 

[Boaz]

The Dragon Flagon! Good one Egg.

Seriously, if you folks have never seen Danny Kaye in The Court Jester, then do yourself a favor and watch it. The whole Vessel with the Pestle, the Flagon with a Dragon, and the Chalice from the Palace bit is hilarious. I know I'm prone to hyperbole, but this is Kaye's tour de force... it's the single greatest comedic performance I've seen. Every fan of fantasy, medieval history, and Errol Flynn must view this film.

 

[AandKsavetheDAY]

Something that I don't know if anyone has said yet is this: Who will Dany want to be another head of the dragon? I mean, she grew up with Viserys telling her to hate all the members of the usurping houses- the Starks, Lannisters, and Baratheons- so because of that, Tyrion is a definite no. I'm thinking there will be two guys, and I'm thinking Quentyn and Jon, just because, well, Quentyn is going over there, and Jon is possibly her cousin.
Maybe she conquers Westeros with Quentyn and then destroys the others with Jon. I don't know, but I don't think she's going to choose someone who might have played a part in the destruction of her house.

 

[Boaz]

Jon might possibly be her nephew not her cousin. But what does it matter to a Targaryen?

 

[AandKsavetheDAY]

Haha, thats what I thought, and then I thought that that might just be a little too weird for me, so I went with cousin. Nephew just sounds odd to me...

 

[Loraslover]

I don't understand how Jon would be one of the riders. Because presumably Dany is going to start attacking as soon as she lands in Westeros and Jon is still going to be on the Wall (presumably). So she's going to have to have a different rider for the beginning of the war at least. Unless she flies straight to the Wall to deal with the Others - which, okay, is a distinct possibility. As for the third, I'd love to see Tyrion but I think it would have to be somebody with warging ability (so another Targaryen or Stark)

"""As for the third, I'd love to see Tyrion but I think it would have to be somebody with warging ability (so another Targaryen or Stark)"""
Targaryens don't have warging ability!!??

 

[TK-421]

My question is WTF does having a "warging ability" have to do with riding a dragon? The Targaryens rode dragons in the past without this ability.

IMO Bran is developing it to:
1) Find the 3-eyed crow and wake up the Children of the Forest
2) Communicate with his kin (i.e. likely Arya, Jon through Ghost and maybe even Rickon)

 

[BridgerandObie]

Which brings me to my next moot point. Why hasn't anyone thought of Arya being one of the heads? She's in a convenient part of the world right? What I have always liked about Arya is -like Obie to your left- she does what she wants!
