We’re here to serve you what the people want: the promotion of himbos
. @ragmanspod.bsky.social rating the men of Westeros on a scale of himbo is my everything.

I just watched ep 1 of AKOTSK and cooed “himbo” so many times 🥹

Even this aside, it is a great episode and I can’t wait to see the rest!

We record our review episode for Patreon supporters tomorrow, to share deeper thoughts once we’ve both (re)watched it at a time of the day that allows for it -V

Rapid fire character deep dives for the sake of science!

Also, we welcome peer review so feel free to add to the negotiations so we can get to the most accurate ranking possible! 🤓
I loved your character deep dives , but I enjoyed the most your negotiations regarding the points given each contestant 😁

Need something to get you in the mood for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms? Well, what about us discussing himbos of ASOIAF?

We try to decide what exactly constitutes a himbo (and talk abt why Dunk is a very good example), while also basically doing quick character analyses of around 40 characters.
Some questions are truly burning 🥵

In our latest episode, and with your help, we discuss the himboness of a number of ASOIAF characters and rank them to find out who is the ‘him’ in “himbo” 😋

It’s Science™️✨ in honour of the exciting upcoming show A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms 🏀🥚

We end up talking a lot about the different cultures and about minor storylines, so I’d say it’s actually the deepest episode we’ve ever recorded, on some level?
We could have made it be more anthropological, but then it’d be even longer. So I think we struck a nice balance!

One of your hosts was at the French launch of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and as much as there was not a single image shown that she hadn’t already seen in the trailers, she is 10 times more excited than before (also, she got to hold a 13thC helmet reproduction and learn a ton so that’s amazing)

Sansa was going to die??
My queen! She was going to die! 🥺
Also intriguing were the things he had to say about Tyrion’s and Sansa’s endings. Were the “Quiet Lion” theory and the theory about the Stark direwolves fates being foreshadowing for their masters’s fates be correct? #twow #asoiaf

This section of the Variety interview with GRRM was the part that most interested me. Seems to confirm that Jon will be a POV character in #TWOW. Some fans questioned if he would be, since he’s seemingly dead at the end of #ADWD. #asoiaf

You know we can’t wait!!
I like #HOTD more than some but #AKnightOfTheSevenKingdoms is the most I’ve enjoyed being in Westeros since Thrones S5 and I am SO excited for y’all to see it. And for us to talk about it. We deserve this.

Last chance to chime in before we record our, hmm, scientific results
In order to help us do some, erm, research:
What is a himbo?
What are the criteria for a man to be a himbo?
What elements remove potential himbo status to a man?

(For no particular reason, obviously)

You’re not ready for what’s coming…

But you’re invited to keep giving us your definitions/ criteria, so we can be even more, erm, specific
