lmao i find it so funny that dany met belwas and the first thing she knows about him is that he’s killed a fuck ton of ppl in the fighting pits and is good/confident enough that he lets each person cut him once before he kills them. and yet as soon as he insults her bloodriders and her people, dany (14, like 1/3 of his size, after she just almost got assassinated) is like “yeah if you do that again you will be regretting it :)”

AND IT WORKS

ok but until this morning i 100% thought that "locust" was an old timey word for lobster

my first encounter with the word was in asoiaf dany chapters and since english isn't my first language, i didn't bother to search every word i didn't know and just kinda threw it in a big bag with "grrm words" written on it, along with all the horse types and bits of armour

it isn't until today when i was reading a post about the plagues of egypt in the bible that i went "hold on, in english bibles god sent lobsters to destroy the crops and invade the houses but my french bible says "sauterelles" so shouldn't it be grasshoppers?"

lo and behold, a quick dictionary search let me know that locusts are in fact insects and not lobsters which???? you mean to tell me that strong belwas was poisonned by grasshoppers???? puny little insects???? and not cool awesome lobsters???? you mean to tell me my entire vision of daznak's pit is shattered???? thanks holy bible and also grrm

—Lo abrió. Dentro había un brillante escarabajo verde de ónice y esmeraldas. 

«Es muy bonito —pensó—. Servirá para ayudarnos a pagar el pasaje.» 

—Lo siento mucho —dijo el hombre cuando la vio meter la mano en el cofre, pero ella apenas lo oyó.

El escarabajo se desenroscó con un siseo. Durante un instante, Dany pudo ver una cara negra, malévola, casi humana, y una cola arqueada de la que goteaba veneno... y en aquel momento el cofre salió volando de su mano en pedazos. Un dolor repentino le atenazó los dedos. Lanzó un grito y se agarró la mano, mientras el vendedor de objetos de bronce empezaba a chillar; después gritó una mujer, y pronto, todos los qarthianos estaban gritando y empujándose. Ser Jorah pasó junto a ella, y Dany cayó con una rodilla en tierra. Volvió a oír el siseo. El anciano golpeó el suelo con el extremo de su cayado; Aggo llegó al galope por en medio de un tenderete donde se vendían huevos y saltó de la silla; el látigo de Jhogo restalló en el aire; Ser Jorah golpeó al eunuco en la cabeza con la bandeja de bronce; marineros, prostitutas y mercaderes corrían o gritaban, o hacían ambas cosas...

 —Mil perdones, Alteza. —El anciano se arrodilló—. Ya está muerta. ¿Os he roto la mano?

Strong Belwas using the power of pro wrestling to humiliate the Hero of Mereen is one of my favorite moments in the series so far. It wasn’t her intention but Belwas knowing how to put on a show for this symbolic fight made sending him even more brilliant than Dany intended

How does it feel to be in Daenerys' council room

And then some fans say that all Dany's secondary characters are boring.

"Magnificence, the people of Meereen have come to celebrate our union. You heard them cheering you. Do not cast away their love." "It was my floppy ears they cheered, not me. Take me from this abbatoir, husband." She could hear the boar snorting, the shouts of the spearmen, the crack of the pitmaster's whip. "Sweet lady, no. Stay only a while longer. For the folly, and one last match. Close your eyes, no one will see. They will be watching Belaquo and Ghogor. This is no time for--" A shadow rippled across his face.

People saying Strong Belwas is Illyrio’s spy makes me so sad for some reason (I am referring to both internet tinfoil hat theories and Jorah Mormont). Strong Belwas seems so straightforward and I don’t want him to be another schemer. I want him to be exactly what it says in the tin. It hurts my soul.

I also don’t think it’s likely he’s lying about being in the fighting pits. He’d have to cut himself all over, why make up that story? (When you could make up another one?)

I think it’s true Illyrio can’t be trusted and he doesn’t send anyone without reason. But it seems to me, once Daenerys had the dragons, the plan changed to marrying her to Young Griff. Strong Belwas and “Arstan” were sent to bring her from Qarth to Pentos. Illyrio just needed someone to accompany Barristan, who seems to have come up with the plan to not reveal his name initially himself. So Illyrio may have just grabbed some rando off the street. (He didn’t plan on them turning aside to Astapor.)

That is my hope, at least.
