why did they execute people by chopping off their heads wouldn't it be easier to just hit the head itself? just thwank right through the brain? or at least the top of the head and brain just comes right out, it's not real securely attached in there. twank, shhwwwsh, ploop.

the neck is a bunch of muscles and sinew to cut through but our heads fall apart real easy for like very little reason

i realize this sounds like i took it from my notes on your species. please don't be alarmed.

apparently, it was proof of death. so i guess they heard how that whole snow white thing went down

wait how did people know who the heads were? what if they never met the person?

i think they should just have put name tags on them and put the entire body out there

okay, what if you cut directly downward through the brain with like, a big dagger like if you were trying to kill a lizard

i could have made executions so much more efficient and with less skill required but nope i was born in a time when such things are widely frowned upon

let me send word to my bastard at dreadfort and he'll bring you the front of theon greyjoy's head

idk. heads are so much more fragile than necks
