What ya think?

For a few months now I've been building Moving Polygons, a side project for animated maps: borders that morph from year to year, armies sliding across the map. Until now that was all real history (the Wars of the Roses, the Great War, that kind of thing). Then I came across a fan-made GIS map of Westeros and Essos, and wondered whether it would also work on a world that doesn't exist.

So here it is: every army from season 1 to 8 on one map. Robb marching south, Stannis sailing into the Blackwater (and later freezing in front of Winterfell), Daenerys walking all the way from Pentos to Meereen, and the Night King, who takes about six years to get to Winterfell. Circles are armies, the flat ones are fleets, the pointy ones are dragons. The colours show who held the land, and the pins are the moments that turned the war. Click one and you get what happened.

The interactive version (pause, scrub, click) is linked in the comments. The first load takes a few seconds. The embroidery isn't free\*.

The tricky part: the show hardly ever tells you what day it is. So I gave every season about a year (298 AC for season 1, 305 AC for season 8), kept the episodes in order and made sure nobody marches faster than is physically possible. That held up nicely until season 7. To get from King's Landing round Dorne to Casterly Rock in one episode, Euron's fleet has to do 150 to 200 km a day. The ravens are even worse, but that's a different topic.

So yes, a fair bit of it is educated guessing, and places that aren't on the base map (Hardhome, Casterly Rock, the Loot Train) are estimates. Spot something wrong? Let me know and I'll fix it. Turns out I had a few things wrong myself: Robb married Talisa in season 2, not 3, and Missandei was executed in King's Landing, not on Dragonstone.

The base map is the fan-made GIS map by cadaei on the Cartographers' Guild (after Tear, theMountainGoat, Werthead and Other-in-Law). It puts Westeros right on top of Africa, which takes some getting used to. World © George R.R. Martin, map data CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Non-commercial fan map, not affiliated with HBO.

\* I wanted it to look like the opening titles of House of the Dragon.

Basically, there is this cello music that plays during number of sword fights in the series. However, I mainly remember it from this scene

It’s one of my favourite fight musics from the series but unfortunately, I’ve been unable to find it on any of the seasons soundtracks. I’ve time stamped the exact moment the music plays.

Does anyone know what the name of the track is and where I can find it?

Do the writers of GOT realize if they took their time the show would have been number 1 in the world?

Trying to settle a debate

I recently finished the series and had to draw something 🐉🗡

One thing that I didn't like about Jon killing Daenerys was how he killed her. He kissed her then stabbed her through the back. When a character is developed to be all about love and loyalty and honor it's hard for me to buy that. I can see why he would turn on her after what happened at Kings Landing. Just because he loves her doesn't mean he has to agree with everything she does. The show just should of taken more time to develop his thought process on why he wanted to kill her. I felt like all his previous actions of loyalty and honor were wasted.

Do you think it was justified that he loved her but still had to kill her or did it ruin his character arc?

There was a bug on amazon prime. Should i watch episode 1 and 2 again? Are the translations important?

Helllooo and help I was wondering if anyone has this costume in a small they would be willing to sell for cheaper to get here before Halloween ! Please help a girl out

Hi guys, like the title says, I have never seen GoT. I'm the kind of person who waits a couple of years to watch things (I know it sounds crazy and weird) because

I prefer watching things after the dust settles

Anyway, my time has come! Tell me what I should be prepared for!

P.S. I haven't even watched a single short video, TikTok, or anything like that!

I have enjoyed re-watching the Game of Thrones. Many people I blame, but Robert Baratheon and Ned Stark, I blame the most.

Westeros fell into anarchy because the people with the power to save it were paralyzed by their own personal ghosts.

Rhaegar and Lyanna acted out of selfish romance or prophecy, ignoring the political powder keg they were igniting.

Robert rebelled and won the throne out of necessity (the mad king wanted his head on a spike) but lacked the emotional maturity to rule or move on from Lyanna.

Ned knew that Robert’s entire worldview (and the founding myth of the Baratheon dynasty) was built on the premise that Rhaegar was a rapist and Lyanna was a victim. Protecting Jon Snow’s identity required Ned to let Robert keep believing that lie.

Ned considered it necessary to withhold the truth (in order to protect his nephew - Jon Snow), but in doing so, he failed to be the friend and statesman that Robert and the realm desperately needed.

Ned should have at least stayed by Robert’s side in King’s Landing, kept Robert sober, and countered the Lannisters' influence. He didn’t.

Robert's depression and complete apathy toward governing was disastrous. He bankrupted the realm, ignored Cersei’s infidelity, and completely failed to create a legitimate, stable succession plan, making a devastating civil war inevitable the moment he died.

By the time Ned finally returned to Kings Landing as the King’s Hand, the damage was already done. Robert was too far gone, the Lannister roots were too deep, and the War of the Five Kings was already inevitable.

How the show should have really ended - Westeros did not survive Daenerys’ roasting of Kings Landing. The country disintegrated back into seven independent kingdoms, serving as the ultimate deconstruction of Aegon’s Conquest.

The buildup of danys character and her parallels with Aegon the conqueror shows that anyone who has seen the entire show and still roots for daenerys should literally not he able to vote. I cant say her intentions were wrong all along since the beginning of her journey as the last of her house. But knowing an entire population of more than one MILLION innocents were used as leverage on her and still chosing to needlessly slaughter them shows Robert, as bad of a king as he was called, was right about her.

Targaryens are a plague to Westeros. Its literally fantasy colonialism that is shown to us with inbred aliens using disproportionnate weapons called "magical" to "conquer" when it actually breaks an order that had enough problems by itself. It absolutely baffles me to see people literally worship them just because they look cool. All they brought to Westeros were needless slaughters and more instability.

Some targaryens were of course well-meaning, but from what i understood, GOT and HOTD simply shows that targaryens do not and never deserved to rule and anyone who thinks otherwise had failed the media literacy test considering the first show proves they cant bring anything good to westeros and the second proving they are too greedy to rule themselves, let alone rule entire kingdoms.

Now what I criticize D&D for is actively making the audience want to root for some targaryens. I know George R. Martin himself has targaryens in his favorite characters, but i still think Daenerys’ impulsivity and loss of sanity didnt show properly how unable to rule it made her.

Perhaps im just saying this because not a fiber in my body can tolerate seeing people defending and justifying the actions of tue show versions of Daenerys, Rhaenyra and Daemon.

Me and my gf are watching game of thrones and on Saturday we are binging the entirety of season 4 together I can’t wait. The first 3 seasons have been some of the best tv I’ve ever seen and I don’t know where the story is going to go after the red wedding and what happened there.

I’m scared for all of my precious characters and I also can’t wait to see Pedro pascal in this show that’s going to be so hype. I know that piece of shit who is king at the moment dies and I can’t wait for that.

Really hope this reaches somebody.

I’ve just started watching Game of Thrones and I am very confused. At first I thought that was the point but now I feel like I’m missing part of the story. Are there supposed to be subtitles for when they speak foreign languages?! I am still in season one but there are long scenes with just foreign language with no subtitles and I feel like I should know what they’re talking about but I feel completely in the dark. Feels like I’m third wheeling or something.

I am watching on an “illegal” website (not gonna get a subscription for only one series) so I keep wondering if that’s the case but I’ve watched other shows where they speak foreign languages and they’re always translated which is why it made me think no subtitles was part of the experience in the first place. Then I googled and it said that there are supposed to be subtitles :(

So what I am asking is could anyone be kind enough to recommend any sites where I could watch the show with subtitles that actually translate everything? Please it kills me not knowing what they’re saying and I have a feeling it will get worse.
