Favorite incredibly minor/inconsequential theory or headcanon? (Spoilers Extended)

Mine is that the kindly man is ethnically Dothraki. As seen in the Dany chapters, the “night lands” or “nightlands” is the term for the Dothraki afterlife, is only ever used in a Dothraki context, and is associated with stars. Except in Arya II AFFC, where the kindly man refers to the afterlife as the “nightlands” and associates it with stars. Therefore, the kindly man was likely Dothraki before joining the House of Black and White.
