[The Immortal Watch Dog]

I'm thinking about writing up a situation where Matarys survives and becomes King and its his line that rules.

Egg gets Harrenhal and actually makes it thrive and deals with family drama maybe by realizing his sons married Blackfyre women to end the blood feud or something.

Flash forward to 283 A.C and well. Not sure yet

A Dragoness and a Lion

Gender bent Aerys marries Tywin story.

Seems shitposty.

 

[Buba]

Yeah, though I don't suppose either one of you guys are familiar with Turkish soap operas, right?

FWIW - my 90 year old mother watches them ...

I kinda want to see an SI that's a Terminator in Westeros. We've seen everything else pretty much, such as Targ SI's, dragon SI's, et cetera, but not an actual Terminator.

Some Austrian-looking guy bitch-slapping the Mountain (because these fuckers can bench-press a hydraulic vault door meant to tank nuclear blasts point-blank, while damaged, and while on a single fuel cell, so even someone like him would be sent flying with a poke) would be hilarious.

I'm fairly certain I've seen such a premise ... on FFN? But my memory is shot ...

"Negative, you protect ze princess and her spawn, I will terminate the alchemists and this King."

Here’s something that I wanted to play out, though it is an ISOT:

Oda Nobunaga ISOTed into Ramsay Snow - House Bolton is already terrifying, but if Ramsay somehow ended up with the genius of Oda Nobunaga, he could easily turn House Bolton into the dominant power in the North.

 

[Doomsought]

The secret to Odo Nobunaga's success was that he has one ally that he could trust not to stab him in the back. He died because he had only the one, but no other Samurai during the Sengoku period had even that.

Yikes, now I wonder who would be the GoT equivalent to Akechi Mitsuhide.

Through dimensional shenanigans/Noodle Incident, Kal-El is thrown into Westeros.

What's that? The world is saved since Superman, the beacon of light, justice, and the American Way (tm) is here?

Pft, fuck no.

It's Injustice Superman or Red Son Superman with no fucks left to give.

One would dominate the world as its leader to ensure peace; the other would break it and enforce communism.

...I think the medieval feudal system is fucked either way.

Joffrey: "I am king! I can do what I want--" *gets yeeted into orbit with a flick of his fingers*

Homelander's got nothing on Evil Superman. The only worse thing for Westeros would be if it were Omniman arriving instead.

 

[Simonbob]

If it's Injustice, he's the new king, there's some trouble, but it all settles down pretty quick.

Honestly, Injustice Superman's a pretty good king for Westeros. He's unbeatable, but as long as they don't screw with him, he's happy.

And, he'd do better than pretty much every king in canon.



The commie Supes will fuck up everything. Commies do that.

For Ramsey Snow? I don't think there would be one. Domeric Bolton would have a better chance of pulling it off, if we are just going to completely replace the person.

I've already chosen Oda Nobunaga to be ISOTed into Ramsay Snow.

 

[The Immortal Watch Dog]

It would be better if it were Ieyasu Tokugowa or Toyotomi Hideyoahi.

Oda has no way to overcome Ramsay's stigma, unless he screws over his dad and actually stays loyal to the Starks. He can make a play from that vantage point but following Canon he'd just be screwed.

I would have to agree with it.

Although which Stark would be most suited to have been ISOTed by Nobunaga? Hideyoshi ISOTed into Jon Snow would be a match made in the Seven Hell's, as both of them would be rising from absolutely nothing. Also, if for example, Tywin were to be ISOTed to either 16th century Japan or 17th century Ottoman Empire, he would literally be a rookie compared to the hardened historical figures like Tokugawa, Toyotomi, or in the case of the Ottomans, Sultan Ahmed I.

So what would be the consequences of, say, replacing Edmure Tully with Matthias Corvinus and/or Roose Bolton with Vlad Tepes?

House Bolton adds a stake to the flayed man?

 

[Buba]

Both Vlad and Matthias were experienced, skilled rulers and campaigners. In either case they'd be improvements on the locals and not particularly more cruel.

Regarding Roose Bolton, he's a bit pragmatic, but if given the abilities of Vlad Tepes, he'd literally turn the Dreadfort into a literal butcher shop.

Which is just as horrific as an idea of Tywin remaining Aerys's Hand of the King and surviving long enough to try and wed Cersei to Roose Bolton, and then plot the downfall of the Starks and put a half-lion, half-flayed man as ruler of the North. From any kind of viewpoint, Roose could teach Cersei how to flay people, which she would definitely take like a fish in the water, and Cersei would give birth to a child that is a fusion of both Joffrey and Ramsay.

I do not think so. Vlad Dragonling (that's what Dracula means) was no communist or crazy murdering people at will.
IMO he'd run rings around the Westerosi opposition and end up as Roose the Great, King in Da Norff.
