Iron Islander voice: Theon you [19 syllable dolphin noise slur] I see you came back WOKE and GAY and a WOMAN from us leaving you as a child prisoner to the guy with an 8 foot sword that makes you drag it around to executions in front of his screaming faced tree gods as a daily reminder that he can and will kill you (a child) just like he killed the rest of your family (some of which were also children). Did you have fun polishing his sword? I’ll bet. Did you write this letter yourself? Knowing there’s a one person literacy limit? Should we call you Theon the Reader, you reading fuck? And standing here in a jean jacket you bought yourself, may as well be sucking dick at old navy. You know who’s NOT woke or gay or a woman? Your sister Asha. Why can’t you be less gay and woke and a woman, like Asha? I bet she could run a democratic election because you know what isn’t gay Theon? Democracy

literally stannis and dany cousins on the same team au would be soooo fun. He would not be a father figure because he’s not a good father and kids do NOT like him but

1)when he meets Jorah he would immediately behead him for being a slaver and fleeing his sentence

2)he would be sooooooo proud of Dany for crucifying the masters and gives her an extremely stiff pointed nod with what he thinks is an approving yet stern expression and she’s mentally like “what the fuck is that face man” and assumes he must have gotten ill so she smiles and has someone bring him a flavorless medicinal soup in the evening, which is incidentally his favorite meal and he’s very touched that someone remembered

I really dislike the take that Baelor fighting for Dunk was just a cynical PR move and that he wasn't risking anything by doing so. Even if the three Kingsguard on the opposing side were forbidden from hurting him,

1) he did not only engage the Kingsguard, but also fought his enraged violent mace-wielding crashout brother to protect Dunk. Baelor could have left Lyonel there to deal with Maekar himself while only doing low-risk shit with the Kingsguard but he didn't. He was out here helping Lyonel and took fatal hits to save Dunk's life, because Maekar was for sure going to kill Dunk if Baelor and Lyonel couldn't hold him off.

2) he was literally fighting his own family. He is in fact risking something huge, his relationship with his blood family he has known his whole life. Can you imagine if Aerion didn't yield and one of Dunk's punches just killed him? Baelor's relationship with Maekar would have been forever destroyed. It took courage and a real backbone to oppose his family for Dunk, far beyond just some cynical PR move.

I just think this take undermines the powerful themes of the story and what Baelor's character is supposed to represent. And that's why I also think that line from Lyonel in the latest episode was unnecessary. It wasn't in the novella either. Sure, you could argue it's in-character for Lyonel to be biased and petty, but what purpose does the line serve in the narrative of the episode? It's just unnecessarily taints Baelor's sacrifice. And to make matters worse, show fans are going to agree with him and take the line as gospel because of their own cynicism.

[moonsandsmiles]

Yeah, the cynicism of these takes irks me. Of course Baelor risked much by helping Dunk. He is literatly going against the power structure underpinning his family's tenuous claim. They don't have dragons anymore, they depend entirely on their Lords and smallfolk to keep their position, which already makes them vulnerable, as they're already seen as foreigners (especially now since they've allied themselves with Dorne). Baelor taking Dunk's side almost implies that it's okay for a commoner to challenge the highest authority in the Kingdoms.

That's not to mention that they participated in a goddamn melee with live weapons. Melees are extremely dangerous, no matter what Lyonel says, because one wrong move, even if it came from peeople who weren't trying to hurt you, you're dead—which is exactly what happened to Baelor.

I know people are used to GOT's grimdark tone and stuff, but this story is supposed to be the antithesis to that. Proof that there is hope, even in this bleak world, and that stuff like honor, justice and goodness aren't just lofty ideals, but genuine principles people can choose to uphold even if it costs them much. And Baelor choose. This insistence that it was just PR move, is asinine, because it's done specifically to undermine and disparage him, and by extent House Targaryen.

Yes, its these weird foreigners with their rotten blood that are the only bad ones. Even the nice ones aren't actually nice, but conniving sleazes that only care about their own power! Pls ignore the entire history of Westeros and how even without the Targaryens, the continent kept perpetuating the same cycle of scheming, destruction and oppression.

(I have to wonder why the show never mentioned how xenophobic everyone was against the Dornish, and that the Blackfyre rebellion happened in part because Daeron married a Dornish Queen, and Baelor came out looking like her. Cause him "looking" Dornish is a thing in the books, and the reason he is looked at funny. Could it be because that would completely reframe Raymun and Lyonel's rants?)
