> [@Waltzes\_with\_Cacti](#): > > Dany can’t have children? I mean, we all know that she miscarried Drogo’s child, but is it established that she can’t have another? Though I will admit to being curious about what sort of contraception she employs during sexy time with toyboy Daario. She definitely believes she can no longer have children. I doubt she is taking any contraceptive measures at all. It isn’t an issue that seems to be explored but I doubt Daenerys would care much about preventing conception. ---

Speaking of conception, though in another womb, if Sansa finds she’s preggers with that sadist’s child, I hope she aborts it and sends the fetus to him in a box. ---

Legitimacy would be rather a moot point since she could simply legitimize her own child, and anyone who recognized as Queen in the first place would recognize that. Since her child & heir would derive it’s status from her it’s paternity would be completely irrelevant. Daenerys already considers herself above the social mores govern ordinary women & men. ---

> [@RickJay](#): > > I’ll grant it’s a fantasy story but the continued absurdity of what appears to be never more than eighty people at a time on a few islands you can get across with maybe four good shots of your 5-wood constituting a “kingdom” was always bad. I’m assuming only the nobility get to vote at the kings moot and thats all we were seeing, there must also be many tens of thousands of smallfolk on the Iron Isles. And i’m not sure where you are getting your estimate of the size of the Iron Islands from, they’ve never been shown to be that small, we only see shots of one location there, so we can’t tell how big they really are. GoT has a big budget, but not so big that they can create massive crowd shots and sweeping vistas for every single Kingdom. ---

Again, this seems to be related to the Old Gods. So there’s lots of supernatural powers at work in the GoT, but they don’t seem to be restricted to one religion or belief system. Maybe it’s like the Faceless Men’s concept of the Many-faced Gods. There are different ways of tapping into the magic in the world, but it’s all different aspects of the same force. ---

Jaqen has been mixing his pronouns since he first showed up in a cage in season two. The Faceless Men (and Women) have never been consistent. Some people seem to think they should be, and maybe even imagine that they usually are and that when they’re not it’s a “screwup by the writers”, but a man thinks that a group of men (and possibly women) should pay a bit more attention and make fewer assumptions. ---

> [@Uosdwis\_R.Dewoh](#): > > How are they going to convince someone into marriage with zero dicks between them? I guess Yara could marry someone, but Westeros culture, being what it is, would probably mean the new husband would be in charge. A Girl went blind and got her sight back. Jon died and got his life back Theon can stay hopeful. ---

> [@AK84](#): > > Theon can stay hopeful. We don’t know if he “only” got a penectomy or if he also got his testicles removed. If he still has his balls then potentially he could still have children, if a skilled enough maester did some work on him. Knowing Ramsay’s sadism it would actually make sense to only do the penectomy and leave the testicles, which would leave you still able to feel intense sexual desire, but no conventional way to satisfy it. ---
