jaime lannister is incomprehensible to the non asoiaf mind. yes he defenestrated a 9 year old. yes he’s fucking his twin sister. yes his incest started a war. yes he’s a widely loved fan favorite. no none of these things contradict each other

Ned coming up with excuses as to why he hates this game.

"Rhaegar had white hair jon, you don't have white hair."

"Why are you so annoyed?" "I was there catelyn, that didn't happen."

"Please not this game, anything else" "But jon is great at playing Rhaegar" "No. just no. By the gods no"

The Targaryen fixation of the recent installments of the Ice & Fire franchise is a direct outcome of GRRM's inability to finish the series, so the only products he could churn out are limited to the past, i.e. the Targaryen reign. In doing so, they indirectly goes against the main series' systemic critique of the legacy of Old Valyria, of which dragons were a key instrument in their colonization and tyranny. I don't fault any newcomer for thinking this way, but I am wholly apathetic towards the whole "imagine if the Daeron II era Targaryens had dragons!" or "they robbed us of the Targaryens speaking High Valyrian in AKOTSK!" because the distance between the Daeron II era Targaryens and their Valyrian ancestry is logical (how many generations has it been?), intentional, and makes their characterization richer and more nuanced. It's understandable to be enthralled by the coolness factor of dragons, but to neglect the series' overall critique of structures of power and theme of creating your own destiny in spite of the bloodied baggage of your predecessors is to miss the forest for the trees.

modern joncon gets viral for being asked those is it better to speak or to die videos in the street and by (accidentally) not responding while just staring at the camera with his anguished demeanor so people think that was an intentional poetic response

the way the ONLY two dayne’s in the whole series we’re introduced to are complete opposites. sweet little ned dayne being dragged around the cursed riverlands with the brotherhood without banners by beric and then stoneheart. his aunt allyria is probably sending out ravens with missing posters.

and then. fucking darkstar.

Me when I hear ppl saying bran will be a magical dictator,lowkey insinuating he’s just there for back up or do fuck all in twow because “he’s just not main character material” and that sweetrobin should die for being a bit annoying and bratty not realizing they’re just angry kids under 10 that are frustrated with how society defines them because of their disability with one not even having that much of a support network bar a few ppl but most are literately waiting for him to die

[atopvisenyashill]

sweetrobin is a very easy character to root for because all he has to do is not die. he doesn’t have to make any decisions he just has to hold in there. i think he can do it idk!!!

[nyxqueen97]

The sick/disabled sibling being loved and cherished by another sibling dynamic is such a prevalent theme in the series i can’t imagine ppl totally agreeing with killing shireen a cured child with constant reminder of their past ailment as a totally justified thing like that’s the point of her sacrifice it’ll be cruel,horrible and won’t benefit anyone and I certainly don’t think Jon would be totally cool with that

Here's how we know Sansa isn't intentionally poisoning her cousin: we're in her head.

When she gives him the medicine, she thinks of how it will help him.

When she helps him down the mountain, she thinks of his safety.

If she wanted him dead she wouldn't be thinking that. Her internal thoughts have always reflected her true feelings, she had no issue wishing death on Joffrey. Even though she repeatedly wished and prayed for it, she was horrified at his actual death.

Seeing that happen, and then choosing to use poison again to kill one of her only remaining family members? Not happening.

Her thoughts of Sweetrobin are that he's annoying and immature. Not that she hates him and is looking forward to him being gone. She doesn't even seem to think about him being gone as a possibility. Instead, she thinks about how his wife will love his hair. She thinks about him ruling and wonders how he'll handle it.

She knows that Ned, Cat, and Robb are dead. She thinks that Bran and Rickon are dead. She thinks that Arya is dead. Her aunt is dead. Her grandfather is dead. Her uncle is hostage. Her last living family member is NOT dying at her hand.

Personally, I think he'll live. It ruins Baelish's plans and I want that to happen. He keeps underestimating his "pawns" and I want that to be another nail in his coffin.

[loonarii]

my wish for akotsk s2 is that anytime egg wonders about his family while on the road with dunk we get a 5 second cutaway gag of aerion bored and annoyed in lys. or daeron drunk and depressed in summerhall. or maekar

Harrenhal must be held, though, and Baelor Butthole here is the man that Cersei chose to hold it. (Jaime III, AFFC)

I cannot emphasise just how badly I need this man and jon 'that will stop him bitching about his boil' snow to meet

[nyxqueen97]

You can’t say you don’t like the secret prince trope with YG without also critiquing Jon snow’s entire character in the story he’s the number one character that follows those tropes,I’m sorry😭 they’re just examined through different lenses and that’s interesting

[sifuhother]

yesssss!!!!!!!! yg is a sheltered teenager as jon once was and has not been humbled yet!!!! he will and it's gonna be interesting but is not rotten or bad!!!!!
