The fact that Jaime no longer believes in honour or duty or loyalty or chivalry or even in the Gods but he believes in Brienne of Tarth so much

[melrosing]

do u ever think about how brienne grew up in a house of grief. like mum dead brothers dead sisters dead just brienne and her dad left and they don't talk about their feelings. she doesn't know the easy intimacy of friendship, family, anything, yet she wants it SO bad and she has so much to give

[sapphicstarklings]

It always annoys me so much when people say the point of Sansa’s whole arc is to learn that there are no true knights and that the songs are all lies. Like okay, so why did GRRM create Brienne? And why did he make it Brienne’s main goal to rescue and protect Sansa (and Arya)?

[contemplativepervert]

arya naming herself after catelyn once in braavos + brienne constantly thinking of catelyn's oath and sansa + sansa wearing tully colors in the vale + jaime trying to fulfil an oath he swore to catelyn + constant lady stoneheart mentions... catelyn stark u could never truly die

[ghostinwinterfell]

the tragic irony of catelyn repeatedly begging robb and his bannermen not to fight a war of vengeance, to make peace with their enemies, to grieve their losses without sending the realm into further chaos . . . only for that same war turn her into lady stoneheart—an outlaw with an insatiable need to punish any perceived enemy, dragging the brotherhood down with her as she perpetuates the endless cycle of vengeance.

asos jaime is so funny his internal monologue is literally “yeah i'm going to return the stark girls. you know, the objectively moral thing to do. nono, guys, you don’t get it, it’s not because i’m a good person, it’s ironic. it’s for the lolz”

[ghostinwinterfell]

can you imagine how catelyn felt when she heard “jaime lannister sends his regards” right before watching robb die. she literally freed jaime behind robb’s back and put her faith in a known enemy, hoping that it would save her daughters—only to die thinking that jaime had a hand in her son’s death. lady stoneheart doesn’t just want vengeance against jaime, she believes that SHE is partially to blame for the murder of her last child. catelyn stark blamed herself for her family’s ruin, and lady stoneheart carries that same crippling guilt with her.

[contemplativepervert]

george was actually insane to write catelyn envying the silent sisters' ability to understand the dead before becoming a walking corpse referred to as the silent sister and the embodiment of revenge and the stranger themselves like he was crazy for that

[ilynpilled]

characters that are repeatedly stripped of their humanity eventually turning monstrous is such a great and compelling arc trope

[cynicalclassicist]

And when they see their child murdered in front of them... Well, those Freys will swing!

Constantinople was Constantinople, now it's Constantinople not Constantinople

[kittoreo]

genuinely not sure i’ve ever heard someone call it istanbul in conversation.

I like it when their oaths devour them alive

[sol-flo]

tragedy enjoyers when they revisit the very beginning of a song of ice and fire (undescribable)

[chenqingssuibian]

like. what do you MEAN catelyn's last thoughts were, "don't cut my hair, ned loves my hair."
