honorisahorse replied to your post: Hey do you think the actor that plays Edmure is hot??

he’s adorable in a derpy way, at least in that role. Before the season I never understood the Edmure stans, but T.M. made me love him.

Yep, I think Tobias gave a good touch to the role. I like Edmure in the books, but in the show he's a whole lot better.

what do you think of edmure 'floppy fish' tully? show and book, please :-)

Hi anon.

I adore his flop ass tbh!

I think as a reader Edmure entertained me, and was a source of some laughs, but at the same time, the character has certain qualities that made him worthy of praise. He’s or would have been a good leader for his people, mainly because he was compassionate and a good man. He cared for his people, and that really makes him stand out. Even if he isn’t war and tactical savvy, he always has the best intentions at heart.

Show!Edmure is very similar to his book counterpart, even though the actor is lookwise, quite different from what I imagined him to look like. I think the essence of the character is there, and as little as we've seen of him, I'm happy about it.

About Tobias Menzies performance: I can only say, I was pleased with him. He exudes the character's qualities and personality. And worked pretty well with Madden(Robb) and Rusell(BlackFish). I can only hope they include a scene with Fairley(Cat), cause I definitely want to see if the chemistry works, and how both actors blend in their skills.

Thanks!

Hi! Love the blog and your humor, I have an ask, but it's not about Emilia, so it's ok if you don't answer: are there any actors you really want to see in season 3? I'm talking about the ones who joined for season 3

Hi anon.

Any GOT/ASoIaF related asks or comments are always welcome! :)

I'm really interested to watch Mance's storyline. Ciaran Hinds is one my favourite new cast members, so I want to see what they wrote for him, and how other actors worked with him. I know many people (in the tag anyway) were annoyed by his casting, mainly because he was older than what they had pictured. Frankly, I don't care about the age thing. As long as the actor is good, I really could care less about it. And people tend to forget that ageing characters like Jon, Dany or Robb, obliges them to change other characters' ages. 

Thomas Sangster as Jojen Reed. Jojen is an interesting character, and I'm excited to see how they are gonna make things work, since the books had Bran with the Reeds, and Rickon with Osha, and away from the view of the readers. So there are a lot things they are gonna change in that storyline.

The Tully family: I missed their storyline on season 2, and I want to know how the producers are gonna fill some holes in the plot, bringing these characters now, and not sooner. I like the actors who got the parts, but I'm not so familiar with all their work. I know some of the stuff they've done, and Tobias Menzies' work on Rome was quite good, and is somehow playing a similar "my daddy doesn't love me" character. 

Diana Rigg as Olenna Tyrell. OMG I love this character, and this actress is really good. I'm not so familiar with her line of work, but I know she's quite good. The only thing I ask for, is that the writing does justice to the character, and allows the actress to shine.

Thanks! Loved your question!

2. Do they have any daily rituals?

Edmure Tully

Not exactly. Edmure is a man driven by spontaneity rather than ritual, and has the attention span of a very distracted fish. The closest thing he has to a daily ritual is his habit of visiting his father's solar or climbing to the highest point of the battlements to watch the convergence of the two rivers, which happens to be the most beautiful view in Riverrun. 

When he was younger and small, he used to secretly climb to the highest battlements alone even though he was forbid to do so. Cat warned him repeatedly about the dangers but Edmure was downright stubborn and it fell to deaf ears ("But I was on the battlements, not over it." "You weren't just on the battlements, you were standing on the merlon. And don't think I didn't notice you dangling your legs over it." "But I wasn't over it!") and the argument would go around in circles ("You are small, Edmure." "Well, so is Littlefinger!") with Edmure finally sulking in a corner or stabbing his food.

As for his grooming habits, aside from washing his face with warm water in the morning and cleaning his mouth daily, everything else varies. Unlike some lords who maintain nicely trimmed beards and hair, Edmure only shaves and trims his hair when he feels like it, and more often than not, especially when he is distracted by other more interesting matters, he does not care about it and allows it to turn into a fiery bush and mane. He can be vain but usually doesn't care much for his own appearances so as long as he is presentable.

Much of this has to do with growing up with Catelyn, who has a (reasonable) preoccupation with cleanliness. Often she would drag a mud-soaked Edmure for baths and shear his shaggy, messy mane of a hair. Thanks to Cat, Edmure was always clean, pink and fresh-smelling to the point that Petyr used to laugh at him. After his two sisters were married, Edmure was on his own and was free to do as he pleases and pretty much went through a rebellious period where no one could keep tabs on him. He refused haircuts and was determined to be as dirty as possible. Hoster did not really mind and actually found it amusing. Edmure grew out of it eventually but not completely.
