The One True King of Westeros

[poorquentyn]

FOREVER pissed about Stannis, tbh.

Can we just pause to appreciate how sadly fitting it is that Stannis, forever disrespected, misunderstood, and shunted aside in-universe, received the same treatment from the show itself

Gilly - “That’s Dragon Glass”

Sam - “Stannis told me but i didn’t think--”

Yeah, we get it. D&D hate Stannis and wasn’t believable when he was alive.

stannis week 2017 // day one: stannis the son

no, the old maester thought, this is not you, not your way, you were always just, always hard but never cruel, never, you did not understand mockery, no more than you understood laughter.

Stannis Baratheon was only 18 when Lord Mace Tyrell descended on Storm’s End with the Reach’s host, and Lord Paxter Redwyne took the Redwyne fleet of the Arbor and closed Shipbreaker Bay to all trade. Stannis successfully held against the siege of Storm’s End for almost a year, with the garrison having to eat their horses, dogs and cats, and were nearly forced to eat their own dead, until the siege was lifted by Lord Eddard Stark.

Garrett Hedlund as young Stannis Baratheon.

Stannis smiling is my fave thing

Stannis smiled grimly.

King Stannis had a hard smile.

Surprisingly, Stannis smiled at that.

He smiled thinly.

because you know someone’s about to get dry roasted like a peanut

Strangely, Stannis smiled. “Angry foes do not concern me. Anger makes men stupid, and Hosteen Frey was stupid to begin with”

Renly: Help me for this crossword puzzle. I need a six letter word for disappointment.

Robert: Stannis

Stannis:...

Renly: *not looking up* Not quite but it'll have to do

[poorquentyn]

Do you think it's fair to say pre Blackwater Stannis did have some measure of ambition in pressing his claim than he let on?

Not really, no. Stannis was never after power or ego-stroking for their own sake. He definitely had (and has) an enormous hunger for respect and validation, and was driven to a large degree by resentment in ACOK specifically, but that’s not quite the same thing as being arrogant or greedy for power. After all, within ACOK, he’s at the height of his power at Storm’s End in the wake of Renly’s death, and he’s explicitly not comfortable with the ambitious silver-tongued lords flocking to his side at that moment, preferring the loyal, honest counsel of the meritorious Davos.

Robert Baratheon: I wish you were never born!

Stannis Baratheon: They were trying to make one with a brain.

-Robert and Stannis Baratheon at one point probably

Is that intentional, or… ?” 36: “Why is there a dog in the living room?” 37: “They mixed up our reservations. One room. One bed.” 38: “Oh boy. I’m on the weird side of YouTube again.” 39: “You, my friend, are a filthy sinner, and I approve wholeheartedly.” 40: “Did you mean like… this?”

“Is that… lipstick, on your collar?” Robert asked, his eyes going wide.

Stannis froze. 

“No.”

“Yes it is,” Robert said, coming closer and poking Stannis. “I know what lipstick looks like on a shirt.”

Stannis snorted. “You would.”

They glared at each other for a moment.

“Whose lipstick is it?” Robert asked, cocking his head to the side.

“No one’s. It’s not lipstick. Go away, I’m working.”

“You’re not fucking that Melisandre woman, are you? She’s terrifying.”

“Robert…”

Before either one of them had a chance to say anything else, Sansa Stark burst into Stannis’ office, carrying a stack of files and a cup of boiled water with a slice of lemon.

“Sorry, Mr. Baratheon,” she said, breezing past Robert as if he weren’t there, her gaze utterly focused on balancing her stack of files and not spilling the near-overflowing cup. “The printer was jammed again.”

Robert was staring at Sansa’s lips. They were painted a tasteful, modest shade of pink. A tasteful modest shade of pink that was probably smudged all over his shirt collar. 

“It’s fine,” Stannis muttered, giving Sansa a significant look.

She looked confused for a moment, but noticed Robert after a brief, uncomfortable silence.

“Oh!” she exclaimed, “Mr. Baratheon. I didn’t see you. Am I interrupting? Should I go?”

“Not before you tell me how long you have been carrying on with Stannis of all people,” Robert said, letting out a bark of incredulous laughter.

Sansa looked like a deer caught in the headlights for a second, but Stannis hadn’t hired her for her looks. She recovered quickly. “Two months,” she said, raising an eyebrow. “Is that a problem, sir?”

Robert opened his mouth, closed it, and then laughed. “I guess not.” He shook his head and headed for the door. “I’d tell you not to do anything I wouldn’t do, but…” He laughed and left the sentence unfinished.

Sansa looked at Stannis once Robert was gone and bit her lip.

He clenched his jaw. Her biting her lip like that was what had got them into this mess.

“I suppose that settles the matter of whether or not we should arrive together at the Christmas party next week,” he said.

Sansa set the files and the cup down on his desk, gave him a dazzling smile, and kissed him.

… until there comes another, YOUNGER and MORE BEAUTIFUL, to cast you down and take all that you hold dear.

While on business Stannis is far too tense to get to sleep and can't quite relax himself. He needs someone else to do it for him.
