This is the RIVERLANDS we BETRAY OURSELVES FOR NOTHING and DIE in our THOUSANDS NAMELESS and PURPOSELESS and FORGOTTEN BY THE NARRATIVE in the MUD and they will SING NO SONGS OF IT take your sensitive ass back to the reach!!!!!!!

[visenyaism]

and in this is the great castle harrenhal cursed by the ghosts of its laborers who died in chains whose blood is in the very mortars of the keep any different from the huts of the smallfolk whose dirt and mortar and bricks come from the mud slaked by the lifeblood of the thousand thousand nameless casualties of every war fought there. is it different from the mud of the riverbank. is the land itself not hungry is it not haunted.

we got daemonomics this episode!!!!!!!!!!

Now there’s a name I haven’t heard in years….

[visenyaism]

Daemonomics: the state exists for purposes of aura farming and violent imperial conquest that contrary to popular belief is completely decoupled from the economy so you better not spend any fucking money. Except when I’m in town in which case the state exists to facilitate epic parties and I am running a supply-side bribe network of my jackbooted thugs so extensive one could call it Keynesian. 

Aegonomics: hide the money yall there’s WOMEN around. Usurping my his sisters birthright and claiming the throne did kickstart the largest and most effective jobs program for young men that humans have yet to come up with which is prolonged land war. Is there an opposite of supply side economics where you kill everyone in a certain profession and see what happens.

Rhaenyromics: the lowborn will be elevated when it is personally politically expedient and food and coin will be distributed among the masses. not really power though unless you’re my bastard cousin in which case have a nuke. Zero structural changes. Pay your taxes eat your rats. I’m sure trying to completely eliminate the middle tier of nobles will do nothing to threaten my position at the top. It’s just me and my peasants.

Marqsism-Mysarism: peasants of the world unite! We have nothing to lose but our chains. Some of you will die while I create the material circumstances necessary to facilitate an uprising but I am in the room, telling the targaryens that you are important.

Ormund Hightower Perfume Chekov’s Gun Resolution:

Perfume is very flammable

They will draw him out of the city by making it smell bad

He will get distracted by it and die at war

It is negatively impacting his mental state because it’s poppers

The smallfolk of tumbleton will rebel at an obvious symbol of excess

Some other thing

It’s just a character beat to establish him as a rich asshole
