  1. All i know the cersie camp they re the evil in all this. the murders , raping and lie and sleeping with bother. ALL🤔 LETS GET CERSIE KILLED. LIKE THEY BUT LITTLE FINGER LIKE THE LIAR HE IS I CANT WAIT FOR THE BITCH ASS .

  2. I think the king was foolish all on his own accord but then truly went mad because the 3 eyed raven(before bran) who used to be a targaryan who was called blood raven before being forced to take the black, he would warp back and similar to how young Ned heard bran call for him when he went back in time the 3 eyed raven would attempt to warn the mad king about the whites and how they must all burn but the mad king took it wrong and that's why he would always burn people and claim to hear voices and his literal last words according to jaime was they must all burn, which he had been saying on repeat for hours before Jaime stabbed him in the back

  3. Your last point ties in beautifully with my theory for how the story will end. Dany will sit on the Iron Throne, and her master work will be a version of the Magna Carta.

    Something to limit the power of kings and nobles and give more rights to the common people.

  4. I think the start of Aerys' madness was the trauma from the Tragedy of Summerhall. His latent pyromania is a coping mechanism by proving he is the master of the flames that killed his grandfather, his paranoia branches of off from the incident. Rhaella's stillbirths and miscarriages could be a consequence of giving birth due to this disaster and traumatizing her into future miscarriages and stillbirths, with birth itself becoming emotionally painful

  5. He got into hodor because he is part giant not because he is "dim witted" that would be a paradox because he made him dim witted. And he went mad because he was inbred through generations. That is all. Technically daenerys should be mad too.
