1:12 Dany literally got a game of “Fuck Marry Kill” as a prophecy 😂

[soter]

It’s great how much the prophecy lives rent free in Danys head, especially in book five.

Tyrion betraying for "gold" would probably meaning Casterly Rock itself. It's already been established how much he wants it as he views it as his right.

[whyareyoureadingmynickname]

I have a theory about this of my own - it's either Viserion or Rhaegal that betrays her. One of them could submit to Euron once he uses his magic horn, or maybe even bond with either Aegon or Jon thus abandoning Dany's cause. Latter does seem unlikely but it could be cool if something like that happened.

What if all three betrayals are in favor of Dany? Vic betrays his blood, Tyrion betrays his family's fortune, and Jon betrays his duty because of his love for Dany

[lija]

my theory is that the treasons dany must know are treasons she commits, not ones she suffers. betraying the slavers by cheating the unsullied from them and killing them is for blood, betraying the people of mereen by making peace and opening the fighting pits is for gold, and the one for love will be her leaving her spouse (victarion or hizdar or whoever) for jon.

[ratgirl]

I think the betrayal for love will actually be Jorah killing Darrio.

Tyrion refers to Jorah as Ser Bezoar during ADWD, aa bezoar was believed to be a cure for poison. Right towards the end, in Bareistans last chapter, he refers to Darrio as a slow poison.

Since both men seem to love Dany, it seems likely to me that they will fight. And Darrio left his weapons with Dany…

[peterdesler]

i feel like your reasoning for tyrion’s betrayal works a lot better for the “betrayal for blood”, as he could eventually turn away from dany in favor of his blood, or for his family as you put it

[InquisitorThomas]

The Third Betrayal was the writers who decided that all of Dany’s supporters would assume she’s crazy based on the fact… she’s fighting a war… and she executed a man after he refused clemency…

[sillage]

Saw a neat theory suggesting the three treasons are Dany's treasons against others and GRRM manipulates our sympathy for Dany to cover it up. Treason is a crime against a king, when her husband killed her brother Dany became the heir to his throne, and when Dany killed her husband the king of the Dothraki she became heir to his khalasar.

Who will be the third king Dany will be pressed by sympathetic circumstances to treasonously kill and inherit his kingdom? A Night King, perhaps?

[sardonically-inclined]

I like it, but I would like to add something. Tyrion could actually be any of the three. For gold as you mentioned, but in ADWD he's shown he doesn't hate his niece and nephew and does hate his sister. So, treason for love could be to spare one of them or both his niece and nephew.

Treason for blood may be if he wants Daenerys to destroy many who betrayed him and she doesn't, so he finds it acceptable to conspire with Faegon, especially since they've already met. Faegon gets to wipe the slate clean of traitors and have the rightful lord of Casterly Rock as his new leal man. Tyrion may even offer to sneak Faegon into wherever Daenery's has her dragons to claim one as a boon.

[maxmustermann]

I could see the betrayal for blood legitimately being Mirri given the impact and gravity of her actions. Ben Plumm is in no way the betrayal for gold, the Second Sons switching sides is way too minor even just in the context of the Meereen conflict.

[billychops]

Yeah but Tyrion has like 8 different first cousins that could continue house Lannister and a bunch of distant ones as well so not only is he not the only Lannister that can continue the legacy, he also most probably won’t be accepted since he is now an outlaw, a kinslayer and as far as anyone knows a kingslayer.

[TheCbot]

Isn’t Jorah the betrayal for Love when he carries Danny into the tent and kills Rhaego?

Idk if Miri Masdur is a betrayer at all. It’s not like she received bread and salt. Her village was destroyed and she was graped. She was never on Danny’s side.

[MiguelSanchez-phel]

that dream is literrally euron entering danerys dreams, pale skin blue lips and hes said to have the power to do that in the books

[Al-jigd]

I honestly think each noun correlates with a specific character, and I also think they're to happen in chronological order. This solidifies my belief that all the events involving 'love' pertain to Jon. The others have either already happened or I'm more confused as to who they involve since each one will relate to a different character.

Your videos are so good and bring me new excitement for winds even if it's likely still a while away
