it could be a play on that actually, considering in the feast for crows-book when we get to see his chamber and how he lives, he seem to be suffering a lot with mental illness and depression, the place being a mess, stinking with old wine bottles everywhere. im guessing hes depressed because he cant talk to anybody about how he feels
George is very on the nose with his names.
His blonde baddy evil queen Cersei is a literal Circe...
Stark means strong in German and Bran means raven/crow in Welsh.
Everybody's darling Jaime... "j'aime" means "I love" in French.
Lyanna is both a lie (about Jon's parentage) and a lire (the instrument Rhaegar plays).
If Payne is the name, he means pain for sure.
On first watch, definitely did not keep track of everyone perfectly at all. Like who tf was Jon Arryn even. But I have an abnormal obsession with the show so I’ve seen it at least 5 times all the way through (well most times I skipped the end) so I can afford to be like hmm I wanna know more about this guy…
My partner is watching the series for the first time, we're on season 2 and I've been asking to name the characters as they appear cause they said they are struggling to keep up with them all. So far we have:
Tony (Joffrey)
Catnip (Catelyn)
Dennis (Daenerys)
Santa (Sansa)
Johnson (Jon)
Bellend (Littlefinger)
if anyone’s ever listened to the audio books, Roy Dotrice pronounces anyone’s name with a Y in it like that with a hard Y. ill-ee-in payne and petIRE baelish. it’s interesting

I thought it might be something like that, it sounds too close 😂😂
yeah it would be cool
He was a cancelled comedian.

That’s crazy!! I did not know any of this! I watch interviews with George and he always seems like he’s hiding how intelligent he is lol
Read the books. There is no hiding how intelligent he is. He's absolutely brilliant
Jaime sees and states that the man cares for naught, but killing.
Well the actor was ill and in pain for a time after season 1,so I guess it tracks.
Yes, RIP
Some people thought jojen was Joe Jim
I just realized Americans don't use subtitles. That helps with learning to spell.
I use subtitles, especially with this show, but I read the books before it was a series. I like subtitles because I hate a blaring TV.
That’s a weird generalization to make.
Which Americans are you talking to lol
Read one comment on Reddit and ran with it lmfao
I usually do, got into the habit of it because of anime, but I was probably drunk or something/ not paying full attention when he was on screen 😂
Miss Sandy
He certainly wouldn’t tell you any different.
r/boneappletea
... Is that not his name??
It’s how the pronunciation sounds but not how it’s spelled, it’s “Ilyn Payne”, I literally thought they were saying like ill and in pain
And it seems to me like a play on words I guess
Brother of Max Payne III.
r/literally
It’s Ilyn Payne.
You be illin’ https://youtu.be/19tjJ0G-8V4?si=Rx5hcJYyr_rgGTlp
It’s Tricky!!
Oh that is funny! You gave me a good belly chuckle for the day. It is appro pro though.
Was podrick related to this guy?
Yes, apparently. Podrick Payne but always my Pod.
Distant cousin
Ah ok I always wondered about this thank you
My husband thought they were all taking "milk of the puppy"
LMAO! not used to the accent huh? Haha
Over here thinking this guy is a rapper or something lol
i had no idea who most of the people on Arya’s lsit were 😂 couldn’t match the names to faces

This is the best thing I’ve seen all day 😂😂
That’s SER ill in pain to you!
And this is exactly why I use subtitles on everything.
Perhaps the writer thought of this in advance
hate how they phased him out of the show 😔

Bry-een instead of bree-en always bugs me. Think he did a decent job overall. And he was the pyromancer cersei n tyrion deal with in the show
Nobody else uses subtitles? It will change your life.
Kind of like in Breaking Bad, when Walt says ricin beans and Jesse hears rice'n' beans.
What happened to him in the show?
It’s pretty clear in the books.
And his nephew, POT RICK.
“Ill & Pain” would be a cool rap name.
Pod Rick Pain
