It's always "take vengeance on your slavers" but when I, MIRRI MAZ DUUR, do it with a fan favorite character---

[visenyaism]

team dragonstone constructing divinity complexes heretofore unknown to theology. two people for whom different gods have tangibly protected from harm and/or given supernatural powers and both of them are like YES I have seen the face of the divine and that face is a bald middle aged middle manager accountant who is unpleasant to be around.

Baby Stannis gently nursing an injured bird back to health when no one else would and naming her Proudwing until the bird loved him and perched on his shoulder and followed him around until he abandoned the her because Robert told him it was gay to have an animal friend who couldn’t do violence is still so evocative to me like I’m genuinely so so sad thinking about it

[visenyaism]

This is the first Davos chapter this is THE Stannis character introduction. You have to give up sweetness and kindness and empathy for violence or you look a fool. Stannis you ARE the bird

@bigtabart love this! What a metaphor.

You have been Isekai'd to Westeros, spin the wheel to find out which House you belong to

Do you like your house?

Thanks, I love it!

Thanks, I hate it

I do not even know what House is that

[motorway-south]

grrm just sent me his newest draft of twow. bad news guys but the valonqar is actually jaime’s old hand which qyburn has animated to move independently like thing from the adams family :(

[rhaegars-cervix]

it’s so fun to me that jae2 was friends with barry selmy... he loves a targ bestie i bet he was so happy looking after a war strategist king who’s also a bit of a sickly victorian child

[rhaegars-cervix]

why is jae2/barry kinda hitting…

[rhaegars-cervix]

guys my brain is exploding. they literally got married

[rhaegars-cervix]

estrogen COULD have saved her (finished this)

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

constantly making airy offhand comments to my preferred younger son about how he’s next in line for the throne after his brother but he still hasn’t killed my detested firstborn for me. kids these days have no fucking initiative.

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

I keep sending them off on “boar hunts” together and wouldn’t you know? they keep coming back after with big smiles and boar heads and the unmistakable stench of brotherly camaraderie. what sick sad days are these!

wow. did not expect that one post to rack up the numbers that it did. welcome to all new followers & flattered of course.

as this is a fairly underused blog i feel obliged to make it clear that i am chill with incest shipping or whatever the fictional bogeyman du jour is. i believe in jon & stannis having horrible cold angstfail sex at castle black and in brynden bloodraven rivers grooming and being groomed by his various relations. that’s all

[knightsickness]

barristan voice daario is a handsome nasty guy who doesnt appreciate or deserve dany and just wants to use her but quentyn is like mud hes so humble and sensible and dull and not that good looking but could be really good for ashara i mean dany you know he could be a really good husband for her if she’d just given him a chance. i hate brandon stark

[rooklike]

rereading agot as an adult is hilarious because it’s like remember thinking littlefinger was sooo menacing and machiavellian? dude literally has the humor of a twelve year old

[rooklike]

coming to the horrid (life-changing) realization that bloodraven & daemon b may very well have been ianthe & coronabeth coded.

anyway in my mind daemon b is a cringefail perfectionist gifted kid complex young kennedy type who would be addicted to xanax if he could. bland dreamboat loser with the terrible (because false, because convincing) sunny disposition of a snake oil salesman. however i think that br is arguably more insane because. bear with me. i came across this theory once and it’s been eating away at me ever since

[rooklike]

what a buncha bastards

[ferretteeth]

One of my fave minor character in A Dance With Dragons is the guy who’s misogynist to Asha while trying to kill her and then apologizes to her for being sexist. He doesn't apologize for trying to kill her.

Which first of all. Finally someone telling Asha "my condolences about misogyny" I feel like she needed to hear that

Second of all. "I'm sorry for calling you a cunt" is basically Judith Butler levels of feminism for Westerosi men. Stannis was running that crew like the navy
