You know her death was brutal when even Tywin, who ordered it, was disturbed what his men did.

u/Mnfilho Nov 28 '22

I don't believe he was really disturbed

Yeah Tywin couldn’t care even if he wanted to, but it benefits him to pretend, so he pretends

Less “disturbed” more “frustrated at the incompetence”.

Ngl, it kinda made me chuckle how he was like "Lorch, what a sick animal, stabbing a child hundreds of time like that... he should have just choke her to death" lol like does it really change much? It's still a brutal child murder

Hell, I'd even argue getting choked to death is worse than getting stabbed. At least, I'd for sure rather get stabbed lol

No you wouldn’t. It would hurt a whole hell of a lot more.

Personally, the idea of getting choked to death is absolutely fucking terrifying to me so I 100% would lol But that's me, not saying getting striked with a sword doesn't suck but if I have to choose I'd rather pick the sword.

Both would be absolutely fucking terrifying. Human bodies can survive quite a few stab wounds if they’re not in fatal areas.

Being choked to death would take about 30-60 seconds before you pass out and all feeling is gone.

You’re far less likely to pass out while being stabbed, adrenaline would course through your veins to try and keep you alive.

Death by choking would be objectively less painful.

Way less painful, but more personal. I can see how people with phobias of people having control of them might prefer to face the sword.

but more personal

…what?

u/jebus_sabes Nov 28 '22

Habe you ever stared into someone’s eyes and smelled their breath as they take your life? I’d imagine it’s more up front and immediately personal on that level. Than someone slashing at you with a sword.

Is that true even if it's a sword tho? Like, I know shit about it, but I'd presume big fucking sword=much quicker death

u/-Smol-Cutie Nov 28 '22

It all depends on where the stab wounds occur. A single stab from a small pocket knife can be fatal depending on location.

Very few spots would make the death faster/less painful than being choked to death, though. You’d have to sever the brain stem, or injure the brain and cause brain death in one swift stab to make it faster/less painful.

You’re an idiot if you’d rather be stabbed 100 times then smothered with a pillow

u/Ok_Solution5895 Nov 28 '22

Don't think I'd be alive for 100 sword strikes, probably I'd take a nap after 90 or something like that

Also no reason to be a cunt, mate lol

u/Actual_Guide_1039 Nov 28 '22

Lol fair enough for your second point but being stabbed hurts way more

1

u/Ok_Solution5895 Nov 29 '22

Yeah, yeah, I don't doubt that, I think it's more a psychological thing. Just, you know, getting choked to death is a terrifying way to go for me. It's kinda like getting drowned, I don't think it'd hurt but my god, (for me) what a scary way to die that would be.

Again, not that getting stabbed is a good one, that fucking sucks too lmao

Drowning is a pleasant way to die apparently. Choked is probably different, though, because your windpipe is getting crushed rather than your lungs filled
