E95 SHOW NOTES: ASSHAI WHERE THE SHADOWS LIE

Welcome to SHOW NOTES, where we provide you with links and other info regarding some of the ever-important side topics we discussed on the show. Check them out here at davosfingers.com after every episode!

GIRLS GONE CANNON

Special guest and all around all-star Chloe is but one-half of our sister podcast, Girls Gone Cannon. With the lovely-inside-and-out Eliana at her side, GGC re-reads ASOIAF BY POV. How cool is that? Currently covering Jaime’s chapters, while simultaneously covering HIS DARK MATERIALS, these lovelies never quit. Their energy, passion, wit, and all-around goodness will bless your life eternally. They are fixtures in my ears!

MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL 

Speaking of fandom gems, check out the art of Michael Klarfeld. I could peruse his maps all day, every day. And yes, I mean that in multiple ways. Buy his stuff and support a blessed fandom creator!

SORRY VARGO

So apparently zebras are not great to ride. Can someone shoot a text to Vargo Hoat and the Jogos Nhai letting them know?

I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO TEAK

Matt didn’t know what Teak wood was. Scad did. You probably do as well. Pretty standard Davos’ Fingers interaction, right?

WESTEROS: AN AMERICAN MUSICAL

Wait, you still haven’t watched “Westeros: An American Musical”?? Get on it!

SONGS FROM THE HEART

And as always, some of the songs mentioned this episode:

“Testify” – Rage Against the Machine 

“It’s the End of the World as We Know it (And I Feel Fine)” – R.E.M. 

[mockinglygraceful]

so, as every asoiaf geek ever, i am listening to this amazing podcast called @davosfingers that i found literally yesterday and as i was listening to them cover sansa's first pov chapter and eddard's third i believe, i noticed a pretty interesting ‘‘nugget.”

"Get it off," he screamed. "Get it off!"

[Arya] picked up Lion's Tooth where it had fallen, and stood over him, holding the sword with both hands.

Joffrey made a scared whimpery sound as he looked up at her. "No," he said, "don't hurt me. I'll tell my mother."

"You leave him alone!" Sansa screamed at her sister.

Arya whirled and heaved the sword into the air, putting her whole body into the throw. The blue steel flashed in the sun as the sword spun out over the river. It hit the water and vanished with a splash.

— agot, sansa i

joffrey’s sword is named LION'S TOOTH and how ARYA throws it in the RIVER.

later on in the series we have a LANNISTER, specifically jaime, captured by another STARK ( robb ) in the RIVERLANDS.

just thought it was interesting.

The Ice & Fire Con performance contest is one of our most popular events, and every year we have so many talented people strut their stuff. This year we had a lot of funny performances, but we also had one amazing speech that brought many to tears: Scad from @davosfingers - A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast acted out Septon Meribald's "Broken Man" speech.

[davosfingers]

Davos’ Fingers is happy to bring you Episode 058.  Cersei is in power and boy does she lord it over everyone, Ironborn politics takes center stage and echoes reality, Davos confronts an icy court at White Harbor, and Arianne’s plot comes crashing down in the desert.

The Path Ahead

Hey there Bloodriders,

Thank you for all the positive feedback and support elicited over the past couple days after Brooke announced her departure.  We expected our Khalasar to respond in a respectful and thoughtful way, and you have.  The three of us appreciate it greatly.

And now, the future. To put it bluntly, we don’t know how things are going to play out. As Brooke herself recently said, ASOIAF is the bricks and mortar of our podcast, but the chemistry and friendship between the three of us was and is the heart of Davos’ Fingers. Disrupting any sort of chemical composition can be de-stabilizing, and you aren’t sure what you might get as a result. Similarly, we don’t know what the resulting mixture will really be like without Brooke until we do it. She offered much more than just her sarcasm.  As such, we ask for your patience and understanding as we go forward. One thing we can say with certainty is that Brooke cannot be replaced, and we have no intention of trying. Re-finding that chemistry, that comfort level and friendship, it’s just not something we even want to attempt to pull off or feel we can manufacture. Davos’ Fingers has always been us being authentic, and anything forced would stick out like a sore thumb, like Marcus Brody in the Middle East.

We also declare that our love for ASOIAF, this podcast, and our Khalasar burns as brightly as ever, and we desperately want to keep this thing going as a duo. However, we need to do it on our terms. It needs to be fun for us in order to be fun for you guys. We’re going to give it our best shot, for both you and us. Again, we humbly ask for patience and understanding.

As far as the immediate future, we regretfully will not be releasing our first Feast Dance episode on Jan. 16. We’ll keep you updated as we move forward regarding future episodes. We know that’s leaving things very open-ended and we’re sorry for that, but that’s the most we can promise right now. Well that, and we promise that we love you.

If you have concerns or questions (besides questions about why Brooke is leaving, because privacy and respect), you know where to find us:
