THE SERVANT GIRL IS 10 IN THE BOOKS AND I WAS DISAPOINT because i thought she was hot in the show. Kinda had the same problem with Jon though. Here was my reaction: &Wait a minute&hes 14. IM ATTRACTED TO A BROODY 14 YEAR OLD BOY&
THATS NOT NEARLY AS HOT AS A BROODY MAN”
I dunno, I think Jon crosses the threshold into "mopey".
I think the main reason they aged the girl up was to make the dude from the Second Sons more objectionable, but I didn't really see much point to that, given that, y'know, he's dead a few hours later.

CAN YOU SEE ALL OF THES E MESSAGES?!
I CAN, AND IT'S WONDERFUL THAT YOU'RE GETTING SO INTO THE BOOKS.
But yeah, he hasn't yet, and I don't think he will, because there's a whole thing about that further down the line but I don't want to speculate because I don't know how far you've got D :
And, as far as I can tell, pretty much all of the characters whose ages might have made things questionable have been aged up. Dany's wee servant-y girl is probably the best example of this, IIRC the dude from the Second Sons (WHY THE FUCK WERE THEY NOT CALLED THE STORMCROWS LIKE THEY WERE IN THE BOOK GEEZ) wasn't anywhere near as bad in the books, and he didn't say much, if anything, to wee servant-y girl.

I LIKE THEM IN THE BOOK. Is it me or do they actually seem okay in the book? Like they know all these people and they idk what theyre doing. But they dont just seem like some lonely, random group of people.
Did they even include the person from Winterfell in the show?
They do a much better job of brotherhooding and whatnot in the books, absolutely. TV show problems hue.
And no, no they didn't, and we're definitely past the point where he should have been introduced.
What happened that time Gare and Andy got drunk? o.o
G: Ooh. This is an old question.
Fen: When did you-- Oh. That time?
G: I might have... yeah, that time.
Fen: You're going to tell them about that?
G: Sure. Why not. Everything grew back in fine so there's no harm done.
Fen: Go on.
Fen: He is your drinking buddy.
G: He is. Not as much lately. He's on a health-kick right now. He's, like, running and he bought a bike and stuff. Anyway. So, Fen was gone for the weekend and Andy came over and we were, uh, well, no... okay, my mom had given me this bottle of 12 year old whiskey. It was kind of incredible. My dad was a whiskey guy, being of big, black Irish descent. She prefers wine but will still shell out for a really nice bottle of whiskey because it reminds her of him-- what am I talking about?
Fen: You were drunk at home with Andy.
G: I was. It was great. We stayed in and marathoned movies about drag queens. Anything with a drag queen, we watched it. And drank great whiskey. It was the best day. And by nightfall, I don't know... we were messy. And, uh, well... it was a warmer day and we were both wearing shorts. And I said, "Hey, we have nice legs." And we do. Very nice legs actually. And, uh.... I don't know... I said, "Hey, why don't we shave our legs." I blame the drag queens. And the whiskey.
Fen: How long did it take you?
G: A long time. That's a lot of leg. And a lot of hair. I should say that we each shaved our own legs... there was no, uh, shaving of each other.
Fen: (laughs) That either of you remembers anyway.
G: I went through two razors. Two and a half. Bethany had left a new, like, package of them here and we really just destroyed them. Andy's a lot hairier than you'd expect. He's got that like... well, he's hairy.
Fen: I came home the next morning and they were asleep in the living room. I went into the bathroom to take a shower and the tub was... disgusting.
G: There was so much hair. Blonde hair and black hair. It was actually really disgusting. But our legs did look amazing. I put on some lotion. It was great. For like five minutes until it started growing back in.
Fen: You're not going to tell them about your chest?
G: The half of it that I shaved? No. But thanks for bringing that up at the end here. That didn't look as great. I just... but that point I was so over shaving and just stopped. It was the right half that I shaved. As long as we're telling the whole story.
