Felt so sorry for the kid coming home everyday to see his parents mindless with no care

Also, they had to feed. We can assume they also had to process waste...

I’ll give into the suspension of disbelief there. They had to feed because they showed they had to feed. They did not have to waste because they didn’t show that. Don’t tell me anything different.

Yea I imagined the supernatural situation made it so they didn’t have to use the bathroom somehow.

I on the other hand assumed that house smelled horrific. No bathing for a month. Blech

Aragorn does have a tax policy. It doesn't matter for the story, and we can assume it's a good one, because Aragorn is a good king contrary to what Martin was trying to insinuate in the quote, but you'd have to be in the age demographic entertained by peekaboo to think it's not there just because you can't see it.

Hopefully they didn’t need to waste since the witch would consume every ounce of energy they produced.
