I can't find the exact quote but the one where Robb says something along the lines of "If half the things Theon told me about his Uncle Euron are true then he'd be a terrible king." is very fun for a few reasons.

I know it's just kind of a figure of speech but Robb saying 'if even half is true' makes me laugh a little because while Theon is def a bit of a braggart and exaggerator (usually about his own accomplishments) I feel like there's no need to do that with EURON. The guy is actually terrifying and needs no embellishment lol. Especially when he seems pretty infamous outside of the islands anyways.

I'd assume (based on how sparing Balon's letters were) maybe Euron came up in convo when Theon got word that his uncle had been banished for assaulting Victarion's wife and he decided Robb needed the details. Which probably would be one of the more easily believable things that make Euron horrible for Robb to learn. Maybe the ships crew run by tongues cut out mutes and eyepatch hiding a 'black eye shining with malice' seemed too cartoonishly evil to take at face value. Winterfell can obviously be brutal in it's own way but compared to Pyke, Robb grew up pretty sheltered, the scariest guy HE probably knows is Roose Bolton who does not need that kind of loud, in your face evil, to be terrifying lol.

I just wish Robb had lived longer. I enjoy the thought of him meeting Euron/hearing of his fuckery in the later books and being floored that oh! OH! He's actually way WORSE than Theon said he was! This explains a lot! 🥲

Honestly, Robb getting to meet ANY Greyjoys other than Theon probably would have been a big, "Well. THAT explains a lot 😐" moment lol

And then I also just love that this means Theon used to yap about what he remembers of Pyke to Robb. Total bestie vibes to dump all your family's fucked up lore on each other 🤣

"Haha, did I ever tell you of the time my father accidentally spooked a horse and it bucked my Uncle Benjen? Thank the Old Gods he was ok! 😂"

"LOL, no! Did I ever tell you about the time my Nuncle Aeron and Nuncle Urrigon played the finger dance? Nuncle Urri's WHOLE HAND got lopped off!"

"....Was...was he ok? 😐"

"Nope! 😃"

"Oh. 😐"

Nagga had been the first sea dragon, the mightiest ever to rise from the waves. She fed on krakens and leviathans and drowned whole islands in her wrath, yet the Grey King had slain her and the Drowned God had changed her bones to stone so that men might never cease to wonder at the courage of the first of kings. Nagga's ribs became the beams and pillars of his longhall, just as her jaws became his throne. For a thousand years and seven he reigned here, Aeron recalled. Here he took his mermaid wife and planned his wars against the Storm God. From here he ruled both stone and salt, wearing robes of woven seaweed and a tall pale crown made from Nagga's teeth. But that was in the dawn of days, when mighty men still dwelt on earth and sea. The hall had been warmed by Nagga's living fire, which the Grey King had made his thrall. On its walls hung tapestries woven from silver seaweed most pleasing to the eyes. The Grey King's warriors had feasted on the bounty of the sea at a table in the shape of a great starfish, whilst seated upon thrones carved from mother-of-pearl. Gone, all the glory gone. Men were smaller now. Their lives had grown short. The Storm God drowned Nagga's fire after the Grey King's death, the chairs and tapestries had been stolen, the roof and walls had rotted away. Even the Grey King's great throne of fangs had been swallowed by the sea. Only Nagga's bones endured to remind the ironborn of all the wonder that had been. -- AFFC

I kinda feel like the show gave off the impression that there are only like 10 houses in Westeros but theres so many..

I know its no ones fault, budgetary restrictions are a thing and its also understandable that having an additional hundred peoples last names and flags would become confusing but i thought id share this for a sense of scale.

P. S: each of these houses can have anywhere from 1 to 100 minor lords and landed knights overseeing smaller castles, towns and villages in their name and yes they all have their own flag and banners too.

P. S. S.

Grey and white=The North

Cyan and teal = The Vale

Blue=The Riverlands

Red = The Westerlands

Pink and purple = The Crownlands

Yellow = The Stormlands

Green = The Reach

Orange = Dorne

Brown = Iron Isles

Edit: cant believe i forgot to mention this but most of you probably could tell by the watermark in the top corner, i did not create this and all credit for this map belongs to them.

Some of the people reblogging this are putting “has this dumb bitch read the books?” yes i have my favourite character is satin flowers.

House Tarly of Horn Hill is a noble house of the Reach, one of the strongest sworn to House Tyrell. Horn Hill is located in the foothills of the Red Mountains. Their sigil is the striding huntsman on green. Their motto is not revealed in the books, but according to semi-canon sources it is “First in Battle”.

Marcher lords of the Dornish Marches, the Tarlys are a family old in honor with rich lands and a strong keep. They are also the keepers of a Valyrian greatsword called Heartsbane.

The third Jon Snow chapter in A Game of Thrones is so funny when you consider the perspective of the other members of the Night’s Watch.

Since Jon arrived at Castle Black, he’s been withdrawn, sullen, and barely interacted with the others. He was a bastard, but he was also the son of one of the most important men in the entire kingdom, the warden of the north, and hand of the king, and the nephew of Benjen Stark, one of the most highly regarded men at the wall. He grew up alongside his true born halfsiblings at Winterfell and enjoyed an education very similar to theirs. He is one of the youngest people at the wall, yet easily beats the other new recruits in training, barely speaks a word to them afterwards, and instead spends most of his time with his creepy, silent dire wolf. In the words of Donal Noye, he was seen as an arrogant, sullen, reclusive bully, who thought he was better than anyone else.

Then, on some completely random day, he suddenly runs through castle black, the biggest grin ever on his face, which was probably the first time anyone there has seen him smile, whoops the whole time excitedly, that his brother is going to live, and joyfully spins Tyrion Lannister around in a cycle in front of everyone. Afterwards, he smiles at Grenn, who tried to beat him up not even an hour prior to that moment, offers to help him with his sword training and then quips back at Ser Alliser of all people, making the entire common hall laugh in the process.

Like, the switch-up was actually crazy as hell.
