I'm sure 100s of people have told you this, but GRRM should be paying your a fee for your PR campaign. You've kept so many of his fans committed to the series through these looooong cooooold years we have been waiting.
Mayhaps but what some may do for coin, another may do for love. But fr I've seen ppl say this channel has kept them interested. I've personally been committed to realising the full potential of ASOIAF but i can somewhat understand life stuff drawing people's attention elsewhere. I would love it so much to be reading TWOW and hearing pirate's sea shanty about the most feared buccaneer to ever sail the salton seas, who also may have "dyed" his beard green and carried upon his shoulder, a peculiar pink bird. A bird that was said to have the gift of prophecy, and smugglers and reavers alike would gather in seaweed coated grottos and forgotten sandbars to ponder the meanings of her sermons
If it's resurrected John who is azor ahai... Then real azor ahai is good boy GHOST. Seeing John won't be called AA. before getting revived, only change would be the part of ghosts spirit added.
in melisandres vision she sees jon go from man to wolf to man again. this is her directly foreseeing his ressurection. man, then he dies and wargs into ghost, a wolf, and then is revived and becomes man once more
So far I've played video games and read like 4 chapters in ASOS reading. Hope you're enjoying the video! Don't read below if you haven't finished books On the Davos chapter where he Enacts his plan to rescue a certain boy from a certain firey fate.
I’m a little terrified thinking about “resurrected” Jon Snow, actually. PS- I am LOVING all of the art in this video! PSS- yes, I’m one of those people that comments in the beginning, then proceeds to comment throughout the video. But I do watch the entire video. Probably a few too many times. Ha ha
Brilliant timing, looking forward to this. Going to rewatch the Dany vid after. I cannot wait for Jon after he's brought back, the North is soo interesting going forward. Northern Conspiracy and Jon
Oh man I'm not one to comment often but where do I even start?! You have breath new life into these books for me! I have read them twice already trying to read into the character development and "foreseeing" where the story goes but your videos changed everything! Yours is the only content I've been consuming for the past month or so and while I am trying to digest everything as well as reading the books, IT ALL MAKES SENSE! All I can hope for is that George RR Martin delivers on Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring because I am so excited to see this story finished! Thank you so much David Lightbringer for your dedication and appreciation of these books! You are the true reborn hero ❤
0:43 i love this artwork of JT. Something about his expression is both funny and epic to me. And dont get me stsrted on that fire arm. Vic himself would envy that
my favorite part is the duality between Jon and Dany as prophesized heroes. Dany is speculated in-story to be Azor Ahai, while Jon is the often underestimated leader. The known Targaryen and the secret Targaryen, the leader of her people and the reluctant leader
I still can't believe your videos don't get more views quickly... been watching your channel for a long time now and your perspective and style is just so refined and focused, yet light and casual, and you effectively account for every viewpoint on something. Haven't finished the newest video yet but goddamnit you rock David! Love your energy, passion, and content so much, thank you for being committed the way you are.
I'll admit to (in this moment) 'escaping' into this content. Not usually the case, so thank you @DavidLightbringer for providing content of such substance 🙏🙏 I've been lurking on the channel for a few years now, absorbing (all?🤞) things Mythical Astronomy. Finding your work kinda derailed my intent to reread the series, but I might finally be ready to take in ASOIAF with these new tools. Much appreciation to the community here as well, I'm trying to engage at least enough to reciprocate the welcome y'all roll out for everyone. This is a beautiful place 💚💚💚
I don't know if you mentioned it it is a long video but after John was born he was also brought to Starfall with Ned so he was literally brought to that house immediately after he was born that's pretty cool
Only thing I disagree with is that the bleeding star at Jon’s birth might not be Dawn, it could be Arthur Dayne himself. It might fit the death rebirth theme a little better. Or maybe both!
Random thought that struck me, if Arthur Dayne dies upon the birth of Jon, could that be a hint towards Jon becoming Night's king? Day dies and night is born seems like something that GRRM would do.
Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen are both Azor Ahai/TPTWP because they are literary alchemical characters. In literary alchemy, characters under spiritual trials that symbolically transform them into the philosopher’s stone. Jon and Dany both represent two halves of an alchemical whole (Jon is white sulphur, Dany is red mercury - an inversion of gender here as usually red mercury is masculine and white sulphur feminine) and when they eventually come together in an alchemical wedding, they will create something that will change the world - and save it.
Very brief summary here but there’s loads of interesting things to learn about Jon and Dany’s characters when looking through the lens of literary alchemy
Hi David, one thing to think about regarding the prophecy is the waking dragons from Stoneline ice is technically considered a stone by the chemical definition therefore, John‘s resurrection could be waking a dragon from stone as he a Targaryen is a dragon and is defrosting. There’s also the connection between dragons in eastern Chinese folklore and rivers. Rivers are flowing water, melting snow could cause rivers and streams to form. John’s portion of the waking dragons from stone could literally just be about his resurrection.
Seria épico se John acordasse em meio às chamas, quando as esperanças já estavam se esgotando para a série, e não da maneira que estava, o que todos já esperavam.
YAAAAAAY IM BACK MYTH HEADS!! I think SOMEBODY'S gotta stab poor Dani so she can be resurrected (right after she has some kind of weird magic baby girl) and be Mrs. Ahai Night Queen and rule the freaking night and be Jon's boss in the Lands of Always Winter for the rest of time... maybe have a snow cone truck...
Man I love this stuff!! It all makes perfect sense. LML prophecies about prophecy. Remember about the women and teeth and stuff….😮😮😊 appreciate the content
Jon Snow or rather Aegon Targaryen is literally the son of Ice and Fire through his parents. Especially if we add in that myth about the Nightsking that was a member of the Nightswatch and a Stark... This one is said to have had a child with a woman of the "Others"...
I think Sam could be Lightbringer. He arrived a craven, but with Jon's help, he found a place. Pledging to be a sword in the darkness helps, but to be lightbringer I think he needs to bring to light some secrets as well. Secrets can be weapons in their own right, and people who can uncover secrets, are even more so. Sam's strength lies in reading, so his way of uncovering secrets may be to read books.
Melisandre secret identity exposed… not only is she a Red Priestess, and a Shadowbinder, I couldn’t help but laugh at the thought of her being a glamoured up grumpkin. Got to give the girl credit, she did magic up all those Dothraki arahks in the show. 😂
And yes we do comment mid video, there are points we need to say before we forget , you just happen to mention those points unbeknownst at later intervals ❤
This has probably already been pointed out but Tywins dying of Ice made it black and red which are the Targaryen colours. Another layer of ‘Ice’ and fire, fire and blood. Failing to effectively dye the sword red meaning it became black and red is also a nice metaphor for the idea that the Lannisters could never shake the shadow of the Targaryen’s.
I wonder if rheagar left lyanna and Jon with a Hightower and Dayne as a safety net if he died since they’d be the two most likely houses to have the best info on the long night. Then Ned came and killed them all lol
It kinda seems like Lost… 1960’s comic book rules are in effect. Assuming fate is a real force in the world, but so is free-will and these forces are not necessarily always equal, but also not necessarily always opposite… then fate needs to have contingency plans… multiple candidates to fulfill a prophecy would kinda be necessary, all existing in quantum state until the wave function collapses. And since this is a prophecy that’s diverged culturally at several points, it stands to reason, that indeed multiple people might end up fulfilling multiple different parts of the prophecy that have become more or less important to different cultures (ie: the wave function will collapse several different times and in several different ways, across several different POV chapters ;) and in hindsight these other individuals could just as reasonably be called Azor Ahai. Just maybe by a greater or fewer number of people, based on geographic location or other factors… perhaps this is precisely why they’re of undetermined gender and have 12 followers; Fate needs some spares.
This quote about dragon steal being stronger than any comet steal is funny given David's theory is that dragons are moon meteors and the sun stabbed the moon with a comet ^^
The dragon has three heads, it did not state there would be three dragons. Azor Ahai will be a merged consciousness. Most likely between Bloodraven, Jon, and Bran. Bloodraven has been orchestrating a genetic match for his own consciousness and free sight powers to be passed on to another. That’s why he got Betha and Aegon 5 married. Dany serves as an inverse to this, she has 3 dragons with 1 head, herself.
Is it possible that since Jon is now dead he is free of his oath as a Night's Brother since his watch had ended with his death. So he would be free to guide the Others back into the weirwood net or be their king or become the King of winter too. But also, the Night's Watch oath ends with "for this night and all the nights to come" potentially implying that they serve even in after life as your theory that the first Nights Watch were undead/zombies
So if John’s getting dragon dreams from the dragon in winterfell similar to how Danny gets drogon dreams. Do you think John riding one of Danny’s dragons is likely or will the dragon beneath winterfell hatch and John then rides that?
My problem is that this dragon should just grow up hyperfast because how could he be riding him/her if it's small-scaled, and even if the dragon's big enough to be ridden, I think it would be irresponsible to bring him to battle if it's not an absolute unit like Danny's. Another thing could be that this egg already hatched and the dragon is already a grown-up, and it's in this hibernation frozen-asleep state, but it would be kind of crazy that noone has seen it yet. Lol imagine, Ned and Robert's at the beginning when going down to the crypts. "Just ignore that giant sleeping dragon over there, Your Grace"
@DavidLightbringer Thanks! And just started watching here, glad to hear! Always glad to have the good word of Jon and Dany Azor Ahai spread lol Too few believers by far😆😁
Oh that's interesting. The Red Wanderer being Mars As I recall, Mars(Ares) and Venus(Aphrodite) are lovers but Vulcan(Hephaestus), the Smith/builder god, is Venus' real husband So Mars(Mance?) is the Thief Helios/Apollo discovers Mars n Venus and tips of Vulcan to their affair Mars hides under the bed, but Vulcan traps them both in a net (weirwood net?) and exposes them for all the gods and humans to see This story always reminded me of Odin's attempt at sexual assult on Fraya- which she, with the help from her lover Heimdahl, unravel and expose Odin's shame to gods and men Odin and Mars, (War), 'stealing' something precious to all, out of greed and lust, but getting nothing out of it, but shame and loss- is very GRRM I find
Jon snow is Lightbringer, his father was the prince that was promised. The story of azor ahai’s forging of Lightbringer isn’t literal; it’s a metaphor to a couple trying to have children, but failing until the last child is a successful birth but labor kills the mother. It’s why ahzor’s wife cried out in pain and ecstasy when the blade pierced her heart to temper it. Jon may use a meteor sword during the long night, but it isn’t Lightbringer, he is. It’s not the blade itself that has been Lightbringer, but the weirder of the sword.
So genuinely grateful to have something to watch and fall asleep to that's not terrifying election talk. Thank you!
Me too! I like his voice and content!
Hot Pie is the true Azor Ahair
ps - you're a god send for posting this tonight 😭
I like to think GRRM sometimes watches your video to refresh some memories
I think he should hire him to write winds of winter ❤❤❤
it were so cute^^
keep dreaming
This honestly would not surprise me. This channel and Michael Talks About Stuff, although he's so criminally underrated it's less likely.
I'm sure 100s of people have told you this, but GRRM should be paying your a fee for your PR campaign. You've kept so many of his fans committed to the series through these looooong cooooold years we have been waiting.
Mayhaps but what some may do for coin, another may do for love.
But fr I've seen ppl say this channel has kept them interested. I've personally been committed to realising the full potential of ASOIAF but i can somewhat understand life stuff drawing people's attention elsewhere.
I would love it so much to be reading TWOW and hearing pirate's sea shanty about the most feared buccaneer to ever sail the salton seas, who also may have "dyed" his beard green and carried upon his shoulder, a peculiar pink bird. A bird that was said to have the gift of prophecy, and smugglers and reavers alike would gather in seaweed coated grottos and forgotten sandbars to ponder the meanings of her sermons
Well said both of you
I thought it was Arya no one can beat her teleportation except for Ser Pounce who is the true Azor Ahai.
hehe NICE AVATAR
haha!
If it's resurrected John who is azor ahai... Then real azor ahai is good boy GHOST. Seeing John won't be called AA. before getting revived, only change would be the part of ghosts spirit added.
I live everything about your profile pic and user name
The Spider was the best teleporter with that move from Dorne to the ship.
David content-bringer blessing us all today.
in melisandres vision she sees jon go from man to wolf to man again. this is her directly foreseeing his ressurection. man, then he dies and wargs into ghost, a wolf, and then is revived and becomes man once more

Omg,what great timing!Great distraction for election day!Thank you!❤Nice work,as ever,David🎉

Brilliant timing, looking forward to this. Going to rewatch the Dany vid after.

Maester aemond : those are cheerios
😅😅
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. Thanks David, appreciate your hard work.
On a roadtrip to arizona, cant wait to listen to this on my drive tomorrow. Thanks for your hard work & passion David
Lightbringer delivers another banger

Sorry to triple-post but "Crouching direwolf,hidden dragon" is so hilarious. Classic LML!
I'm working on it 😅
Just got my Reading Rhaegar hoodie, some garth, and now this video Life is beautiful
praise
Wonderful video, look forward to checking out the rest of the series
Yay!!! New video! Thank youuuu😊
Stupid UA-cam didn't tell me I had a notification 😒
Oh well I'm watching it now and enjoying every moment! 🎉
What a banger to start my day to. Thanks Dave!

11:20 Oh wow, can we talk about how well those two pictures are melded together? I thought that was one drawing until I noticed two credits! Good job
amazing video with amazing art! keep up the great work dave 🎉
Perfect timing for release, I really need something to occupy my mind and keep me from freaking out! I love you David!
Praise R'hllor! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for another vid Dave, Keep it up- as always!
Very well researched content!
Love lightbringer notifications!
Still crazy how this guy gets videos out soo frequently.
They are soooo good!
I am truly glad to help you make all this possible on your great channel.
Thanks LML for putting together such an insightful breakdown on Jon. I've been really looking forward to this ❤🔥
Seria épico se John acordasse em meio às chamas, quando as esperanças já estavam se esgotando para a série, e não da maneira que estava, o que todos já esperavam.
this is crazy because i was JUST going to go back and try to get my thoughts coherently together about jon being the last hero. thanks david!
Another banger video 🔥🫶
Never clicked a banner so fast
Thank you for putting this out. Freaking out over the election predictions at the moment and this is an awesome distraction
Brilliant as always.
Amazing video, good job!
So excited for the next one
I like the new set up. It looks relaxed and conversational.
YAAAAAAY IM BACK MYTH HEADS!!
I think SOMEBODY'S gotta stab poor Dani so she can be resurrected (right after she has some kind of weird magic baby girl)
and be Mrs. Ahai Night Queen and rule the freaking night and be Jon's boss in the Lands of Always Winter for the rest of time... maybe have a snow cone truck...
Thank you i need this to get my mind off this damn election.
The video that was promised 🔥
Love your videos Dave!
Banger video..certified
Another great video. 👏👏👏
Man I love this stuff!! It all makes perfect sense. LML prophecies about prophecy. Remember about the women and teeth and stuff….😮😮😊 appreciate the content
The hiltless sword isn’t as fun 🗡️
Nice work man
Absolutely can't wait for the Euron video
new video on my birrrthday! what. a. treat. 💃 the gods do be good.
A crown for the bringer of light to the complexity of Ice and Fire 👑
The flame whisper :…. Witch ‘ I been trying to tell you!
Good job!🎉❤
Thank you David 🤘
Where is the best place to purchase a quality hard cover book set for ASOIAF?
-Great video as always David!

Yes I am commenting without watching Dave and you can't stop me
lmfao, “ugly headed” is definitely an insult a teen would give someone. Love that
I feel like the Cannibal is a chekhov's gun moment
Is that a Transformer on the shelf behind you? It looks like Blaster to me…
Oooh need to watch the Great Empire of the Dawn: Westeros video!
Hope today is structured in such a way as to allow you to watch it soon

banger vid
Ned Already Told Bran , About Jon , when he died and showed up in the Crypts to Bran
Commenting without watching the entire video is my specialty.
It kinda seems like Lost… 1960’s comic book rules are in effect.

Sounded like you said Jon slayed Ygritte, _ygrittfully_ lol😅
oh wow haha i never noticed that
@DavidLightbringer it works so well tho I'm glad you didn't catch it
54:13 what else famously comes from (rises in) the east and arrives (sets) in the west? A very interesting parallel.
Let’s gooo. Been waiting on this one since the one for my girl Dany
This quote about dragon steal being stronger than any comet steal is funny given David's theory is that dragons are moon meteors and the sun stabbed the moon with a comet ^^
Ya know, after the pretty shit news out of last night, I definitely needed this.
The dragon has three heads, it did not state there would be three dragons.
Azor Ahai will be a merged consciousness. Most likely between Bloodraven, Jon, and Bran. Bloodraven has been orchestrating a genetic match for his own consciousness and free sight powers to be passed on to another.
That’s why he got Betha and Aegon 5 married.
Dany serves as an inverse to this, she has 3 dragons with 1 head, herself.
I thought for sure it was going to be a Jon election night video. Alas...
😂😂😂
Is it possible that since Jon is now dead he is free of his oath as a Night's Brother since his watch had ended with his death. So he would be free to guide the Others back into the weirwood net or be their king or become the King of winter too. But also, the Night's Watch oath ends with "for this night and all the nights to come" potentially implying that they serve even in after life as your theory that the first Nights Watch were undead/zombies

Another thing could be that this egg already hatched and the dragon is already a grown-up, and it's in this hibernation frozen-asleep state, but it would be kind of crazy that noone has seen it yet.
Lol imagine, Ned and Robert's at the beginning when going down to the crypts.
"Just ignore that giant sleeping dragon over there, Your Grace"
It would be very interesting to see the form the Kingsguard Oath takes (and whether - or not - it parallels the Night's Watch).
3 heads has the dragon means that the bleeding star will split into 3 pieces. 🤔
Hmmm... interesting notion 🤔
Jon is The Song of Ice and Fire in that his mother was ice and his father was fire.
Sorry to inform you, but Azor Ahai was Robert Baratheon, and by extension, Stannis.
Its him, and Dany.
Both together
That's what I tried to show
@DavidLightbringer Thanks!
And just started watching here, glad to hear! Always glad to have the good word of Jon and Dany Azor Ahai spread lol
Too few believers by far😆😁
Oh that's interesting. The Red Wanderer being Mars
As I recall, Mars(Ares) and Venus(Aphrodite) are lovers but Vulcan(Hephaestus), the Smith/builder god, is Venus' real husband
So Mars(Mance?) is the Thief
Helios/Apollo discovers Mars n Venus and tips of Vulcan to their affair
Mars hides under the bed, but Vulcan traps them both in a net (weirwood net?) and exposes them for all the gods and humans to see
This story always reminded me of Odin's attempt at sexual assult on Fraya- which she, with the help from her lover Heimdahl, unravel and expose Odin's shame to gods and men
Odin and Mars, (War), 'stealing' something precious to all, out of greed and lust, but getting nothing out of it, but shame and loss- is very GRRM I find
Jon snow is Lightbringer, his father was the prince that was promised. The story of azor ahai’s forging of Lightbringer isn’t literal; it’s a metaphor to a couple trying to have children, but failing until the last child is a successful birth but labor kills the mother. It’s why ahzor’s wife cried out in pain and ecstasy when the blade pierced her heart to temper it. Jon may use a meteor sword during the long night, but it isn’t Lightbringer, he is. It’s not the blade itself that has been Lightbringer, but the weirder of the sword.
I agree with you except for that that is only one angle on the myth. it's not the answer to the myth, just one layer of meaning.
Does Mellisandra seeing skulls in her visions link to all the bones bran sees in his dream while hes falling and getting his three eyed raven powers?
