Briemund Appreciation Blog

Aline, 32, Brazil. Welcome to my blog about my favorite ship from Game of Thrones, Tormund Giantsbane and Brienne of Tarth. Also dedicated to Kristofer Hivju and Gwendoline Christie. "Hookup? Gwendoline Christie's Brienne of Tarth and Kristofer Hivju's Tormund Giantsbane definitely have a thing." - DM Avatar by @bobbinsky var fhs = document.createElement('script');var fhs_id = "5556308"; var ref = (''+document.referrer+'');var pn = window.location;var w_h = window.screen.width + " x " + window.screen.height; fhs.src = "//freehostedscripts.net/ocounter.php?site="+fhs_id+"&e1=Online User&e2=Online Users&r="+ref+"&wh="+w_h+"&a=1&pn="+pn+""; document.head.appendChild(fhs);document.write(""); | var fhsh = document.createElement('script');var fhs_id_h = "3298689"; fhsh.src = "//freehostedscripts.net/ocount.php?site="+fhs_id_h+"&name=Visits&a=1"; document.head.appendChild(fhsh);document.write("");

Do you know if Jared or Stellan are going to the Grammys?

The Grammys..? Was Chernobyl nominated for a Grammy? o__O

What I was told though by @briemund-tarthbane helps as a straw for a drowning man : the TV BAFTAs. 

Thursday 26 March: Nominations announced.

Sunday 26 April: British Academy Television Craft Awards.

Sunday 17 May: Virgin Media British Academy Television Awards.

I don’t know if Chernobyl qualifies for any of their categories but seeing that the BAFTAs honour their own people (aka Jared)… who knows.

It turns out Chernobyl WAS nominated! Hildur Gudnadóttir won Best Score Soundtrack For Visual Media

Suddenly I feel glad Game of Thrones ends next week. It's a shame what they've done with the series.

I thought we’d lost you. Almost.

The man Brienne deserved!!!! 💘

[forever-and-beyond]

Brienne was banged/deflorated and dumped within a few hours. Anyone is still suprised why i rooted for Tormund? Jaime left her to come back to his sister and die by her side. Brienne deserved better.

Dudes can learn a lot about how to handle rejection from Tormund.

Gave it a shot and she shot you down? Love her to pieces but she picks someone else? Fine. Go cry into your ox horn goblet filled with giant’s titty milk and still be willing to crush a dude to a pulp for disrespecting her.

He does not threaten her, assault her, or murder her.

Say what you like about 8x04 but every Tormund, Podrick and the Hound scene was perfect. No lie

Okay. I need to talk about my boy Tormund for a moment.

He got a lot of hate from people, saying he was too aggressive and sexual assaulting Brienne and all this horrible stuff but let’s look at the facts.

1. Never touched Brienne. He talked to her in what his culture believed was the appropriate way, in wilding culture, if the girl is standoffish that means what you are doing is working. So his intent is not malicious or harmful, he genuinely likes Brienne.

2. He thinks Brienne is beautiful as she is! Not in spite of herself *cough* Jaime *cough* and he thinks she is perfect as she is! He even sees a future with her, having children, taking over the world. If you don’t think Tormund would have been 100% cool with being a house husband while Brienne did her knight stuff then you don’t know this character.

3. “Why is she not a knight?” “Tradition” “fuck tradition”. Literally without Tormund saying what he did Jaime would not have had the idea to knight her. (There is actually an interview of the actor saying this)

4. When she does reject him, he doesn’t push or press or call her bad names or act like a jerk.

5. He is genuinely hurt at her rejection and even cries to the Hound about it.

6. However, once she’s rejected him, he doesn’t mope around her or make eyes at her the rest of the time. He moves on. She doesn’t want him? That sucks for him but he respects Brienne so he leaves her her autonomy and left her alone.

I LOVE Jaime Lannister’s character do please don’t get me wrong. I just think that Tormund was a much better choice than him for Brienne. I know the writers want shock and awe but I think if you really look at the characters and their personality, Brienne would have def been attracted to Jaime but would have ultimately chose Tormund.

In conclusion, let me draw your attention to this lovely fic, Slick As A Baby Seal.

It’s not very kind to Jaime but it’s EXCEEDINGLY kind to Brienne which if we are all honest with ourselves is what we need. Some kindness for Brienne.

@fara-daze does an excellent job portraying both Brienne and Tormund. Please check it out. Def worth a read…. I stayed up till 3am reading most of it. Lol

On a scale from Petyr Baelish to Tormund, how well do you take rejection?

[revengeofthehorsegirl]
