All of these sentences are mostly taking by my own mind and i'm not joking. It was hard finding material quotes regarding tournaments in historical or fantasy setting. Some are from shows or media but eighty percent is all from my own mind, please give credit if use these. Change pronouns, names, locations as you see fit. All of these involve the medieval event of a tournament and what happens around them.

I fear I am already bending far too many rules just by taking you, my young princess.

Show me your hands, you will have blisters soon.

Lady Eglantine doesn’t believe in love, only lust.

In the world of competition, only the strongest shall prevail.

A true champion is not defined by their victories, but by the obstacles they've overcome.

Victory is sweetest when it's earned through sweat, hard work, and determination.

Will you not participate in the tourney, my lord? 

May I have the honor of wearing your favor today, my lady?

Good luck to you, my Prince.

The tournament is not just a test of skill, but a test of character as well.

Is it always this bloody? Will those poor men die? Someone must see them.

I want him to wear my favor.  Only him. 

If he wins, the knight has the right to name his Queen of Love and Beauty. And at the feast, they shall dance.

Be careful. A tourney is a grand place for courtly love, but also, for blood to rise and affairs to appear.

Call me what you like, say I'm without honor, I don't care. I'm not getting on any more horses to whack you people with a stick.

Kings may be chosen by God, but they still make the mistakes of men.

When even those who rule can sink this low, it is not possible to change anything.

It's my lucky charm, be sure to bring it back to me.

My favorite blue ribbon. Take it.

It will bring you good fortune and you will return from joust unharmed.

I was hoping to ask for the Princess's favor.

How about a kiss, for luck?

Courtly love was the culture around the performance of love at court.

And now, rather than admit these feelings, you're dancing around one another with this mind-numbing and frankly boorish mating ritual.

The knights take on the duties of shadows with pride.

Whoever wins the tournament, shall become the prince/princess’ new betrothed.

You want to marry my daughter? Prove yourself worthy.

Petyr survived only because I begged Brandon not to kill him.

When Petyr heard of my engagement, he challenged Brandon to a duel. 

You do qualify to marry my daughter.

What matters most is who she will give her favor to. 

Her face is one that can create dynasties or crumble empires.

I was hoping for a word before you rode on the tourney, my Prince. 

My brother is the one competing against you, please be gentle with him.

The games are done for the day, please, feast and drink as you wish. 

You have been staring all day, my lord. I was beginning to wonder if I had something in my face.

Any damsel that's in distress - she'll be out of that dress when she meets Jim West.

Great men do not seek power... they have power thrust upon them.

My daughter seems. . .infatuated with you. I have yet to see why.

The princess is naive and thinks any man who is kind means well. A tournament will only show her the reality of life.

You honor the arena with your combat. May your swords and shield preserve the peace.

In the songs all knights are gallant, all maids are beautiful, and the sun is always shining.

I will be brave for Princess Pea.

As a squire, your first duty is to your knight’s armor. Your knight’s armor is more important than your own life. 

You will be knighted and you will have earned your knighthood.

You are hurt. At least let me tend to your wound.

The men laugh and fight and the ladies search for husbands.

Nothing like a good tournament to find a husband, or a companion for the night. 

Rumors are always spread with ease in these.

Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?

You say I'll never get your blessing till the day I die.

We're married now, but we still haven't told your dad. This is the right time.

Are you promised to someone?

My sister's getting married. It's a love match. A rare thing. I’m not so lucky. My husband is to be chosen by who can hold a sword the longer.

Why can’t women participate in the games?

There are games for the ladies, Your Grace. But they are less. . .gruesome. And of course, the dancing.

Princes and Princess all over the realm and across the sea are coming for this event. You must shine brighter.

Let me help you with your armor. It appears loose.

As I promised, I return your favor to you, my lady. 

The Prince never loses a joust. He will crown his queen and then all will be well.

I do not understand the appeal of this. 

I spend days making these favors, let me stay a little longer.

My lady, I do not need your favor to win, but perhaps, a kiss of good faith. 

I do not care who wins these games, your hand is already arranged for another.

Men are scoundrel, specially when blood runs hot after a good battle, stray away from them.

These games are done in honor of the king’s heir.

The lord’s daughter is said to have bloomed, and the man chooses to announce it like this. 

A tournament is for men to boost their strength, fathers sell their daughters like mares and for affairs to happen.

I saw you on the stands today, my lord. But you did not participate on the games.

My brother wishes to dance with you, my lady. He is all too shy to ask himself.

You were injured. Have you allowed someone to heal them or are you too stubborn to let them?

Princess, you must not stray too far away. 

Mother is too drunk and annoyed to care, she won’t mind.

Ser Jaime paced along the stables impatiently and clearly upset, the smell did not seem to bother him as much as the people did these days, even Cersei, specially Cersei, that was why he was thankful to be sent away from King’s Landing …she’s been fucking Lancel and Osmund Kettleblack and Moon Boy for all I know…. His left hand rested on the hilt of his sword and his strong jaw clenched further. Armored under the colors of House Lannister his golden hair began to regain some vitality. He went on for  while  until he noticed a second pair of steps accompanying his own and turned around.

          “Any news?”

The people who love us scratch us, (…) And what is love, anyway? It’s claw marks, scratches, scars, traces someone leaves inside of you.

— Margarita Karapanou, Rien ne va Plus (tr. by Karen Emmerich).

The things we do for love like this are ugly, mad, full of sweat and regret. This love burns you and maims you and twists you inside out.

From the 2015 Del Toro movie!

❛ Ghosts are real. ❜

❛ My child. ❜

❛ When the time comes, beware. ❜

❛ A warning from out of time. ❜

❛ And one I came to understand only when it was too late. ❜

❛ (name) when did you get back? ❜

❛ A parasite with a title. ❜

❛ Only that wouldn’t concern you, would it? ❜

❛ I’d prefer to be Mary Shelley, she died a /widow/. ❜

❛ Well, my darling, I was hoping to make this a celebratory gift. ❜

❛ Good morning, miss. Forgive the interruption. ❜

❛ No, you don’t. You look very handsome. ❜

❛ There’s something about them that I don’t like. What, I don’t know. And I don’t like not knowing. ❜

❛ What I saw was a dreamer facing defeat. ❜

❛ I can see that you observed far more than I did. ❜

❛ Are you alright? You seem a little pale. ❜

❛ Tell me, why would you want to stay here? All alone. ❜

❛ Everybody has their place. I’ll make sure you find yours. ❜

❛ Perhaps we only notice things when the time comes to see them. ❜

❛ It’s absurdly sentimental. ❜

❛ The aches that you describe with such earnestness.  The pain, the loss. You clearly haven’t lived at all. ❜

❛ You insist on describing the torments of love when you clearly know nothing about them. ❜

❛ I’m not done yet! ❜

❛ What do you dream of? ❜

❛ A pure soul to be redeemed? ❜

❛ Perfection has no place in love. ❜

❛ You know precious little of the heart or love or the pain that comes with it. ❜

❛ You’re nothing but a spoiled child. ❜

❛ I cannot leave you, (name). ❜

❛ In fact, I find myself thinking of you even at the most… inopportune moments of the day. ❜

❛ I feel as if a– a link exists between your heart and mine. ❜

❛ I feel as if a– a link exists between your heart and mine. And should that link be broken either by distance or by time, then my heart would cease to beat and I would die. ❜

❛ And you– you’d soon forget about me. ❜

❛ Never. I would never forget you. ❜

❛ Where did you get this? ❜

❛ I’m afraid I should go mad if I stay. ❜

❛ I have to leave. I have to get away from here. ❜

❛ This is your home now. You have nowhere else to go. ❜

❛ The past, (name). ❜

❛ You’re always looking to the past. You won’t find me there. ❜

❛ We’ve done it! We’ve done it (name). ❜

❛ You wouldn’t leave me. You wouldn’t. ❜

❛ I know who you are. ❜

❛ You will stay here with us, won’t you? ❜

❛ I won’t let them harm you. ❜

❛ This love burns you and maims you, and twists you inside out. ❜

❛ It is a monstrous love, and it makes monsters of us all. ❜

❛ You told me you loved me! ❜

❛ I won’t stop ‘til you kill me or I kill you. ❜

Genuine question for the people in the rpc, with most rp blogs (in other fandoms at least) implementing a lot of dni's to their rules that include topics that are part of the canon of A Song of Ice and Fire, how hard/easy is it to find roleplay partners these days?
