Quinn looking at house Connigton the same way Jon looked at Rhaegar xD

[ThePainOfSilenc]

I wouldn’t even need that thumbnail to know which house Quinn would be highlighting in this video. Long live Jon Con.

Quinn is successfully working his House Connington propaganda on me

[Romy-]

The irony that both of Cersei's and Red Ronnet's "exes" are now pretty close is not lost on me 😌

[fabbe_fisher]

A video about the Mallisters would be amazing. A house often referenced in the books in terms of strenght and history!

The lad actually did it. The bells be praised. Come all without, come all within, you'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn.

“Tomorrow’s video is not about house Connington” he says

[chcucivtxzclccucifudohzfu]

According to the cover of book 9 the German version of the ASOIAF series (all five books are split in half), the words of House Connington are: „A fierce enemy, a loyal friend“ (or something along that as of course it’s in German not in English)

[seancomyn]

The picture of Harwin smiling like that made me laugh out loud 💀

[chrisbedwell]

Wake up babe, new Quinn the GM video dropped

[nicholasklein]

Quinn, man, you are keeping my hope in this series alive. Hope everythings going well and you keep making this videos!

[Khazzman]

Slight correction, it isn't Jon Arryn's brother Connington kills but rather his heir, Denys. Denys was a distant relation who gained a claim to the Vale as he married Jon's niece, and only really became heir when Elbert, Jon's nephew, was killed by Aerys when he rode with Brandon Stark to King's Landing.

To my mind, one of the most fascinating houses nobody talks about is House Fowler of Dorne. What makes them so consequential in the current timeline is what they could know about the events at the Tower of Joy. They control the Prince's Pass, which the TOJ is located in. You can't tell me that the crown prince and three members of the kingsguard could commandeer one of the Fowler's properties during a time of war for months on end and the Lord of the house knows nothing about it. In any case, I think they'd be a fun video for you Quinn. Nice video.

I'm always going to befuddled that ASOIAF isn't animated. It's literally the only medium that could handle all these characters with financial ease

[josephyoung]

If you're looking for more obscure houses to deep-dive into, I'd be interested in hearing about the Bracken-Blackwood feud or some of the weirder Ironborn houses like the Farwynds (who first appeared in Dragon Magazine, incidentally). Either that or a script treatment for a sitcom about JonCon called Everybody Loves Rhaegar.

Do a video on the lore, future & theories of House Florent, the foxes of the Reach, rival to the Tyrells of Highgarden & King Stannis's strongest supporters.

[archiebuchan]

“Oh sir Connington, as you now establish a house I’m sure it shall be remembered as a great one. What do you want your house words to be”

“Well mine is a family that believes in Strength, Duty an— OH MY FUCKING GOD IS THAT A GRIFFIN? IT IS? JESUS CHRIST ITS A GRIFFIN! A GRIFFIN! WHAT IS THAT DOING HERE”

“ah excellent words my Lord”

[ThommyofThenn]

Edit: i just can't wait to see the casting for the play! Lyanna would be a terrific role and hopefully is a breakout for some talented performer
I know it's something of a meme/playful banter to say otherwise but I earnestly love these Connington vids. There are many ideas, people and locations that are set up and expanded on in the series, and I think you do a great job going so in depth with them!

[lyricholmes]

For some reason I really like House Dondarrion. I just think their sigil is cool, you know, the purple forked lightning. And the fact the House started from a messenger being saved by a bolt of lightning. Of course, Beric being such an interesting character does help too. I saw someone theorise (I don’t think their house words are confirmed?) the Dondarrion house words could be something like, “Strike Them Down” which is just rad as hell. My favourite House words are “We Do Not Sow” but I’m not too fond of House Greyjoy lol. I have to admit you’ve made me like House Connington a lot more. The Griffin sigil goes unfathomably hard.

Thanks for the shout-out and theory coverage Quinn! I comment a lot because I enjoy your content!
