Season 7 of game of thrones is kinda a train wreck but that one scene where gendry discovers gay people exist did unfortunately make me laugh hysterically for no other reason than Jon’s expression like why does he seem like he knows something about it

[super-sootica]

Gendry's plotline of going from a poor orphan boy, to finding out he's the bastard son of the dead king, to becoming the Lord of one of the Seven Kingdoms (making him basically a King too) is insane.

Actual class mobility in the Seven Kingdoms.

Okay so quick thing on Gendry—

There's not much immediate evidence for this. But given the way that Martin mixes and matches names, mangling consonants and vowels to create variations, and typically (though not consistently) isn't necessarily on the nose with his application of first names…

It is unlikely that the name "Gendry" is related to "gentry". Not impossible, but unlikely.

Especially when there's the name Hendry to think about, in Scots, which he (I do believe) draws a few other names from. And Hendry? Well. That's just the local version of Henry.

Henry the Smith, everyone.

(Mwahaha.)

Thoughts?

I’ve been told this is kind of a hot take but gendry looked the best in season three

I published a new fic, it was meant to be a one-shot but it ended up super long 😅 so I divided it into four parts, I still hope you enjoy it.

I suggest that while you read this, you listen to The Alcott by The National featuring Taylor Swift

"Gendry, why do you hate me so much?" she bit her lower lip, words trailing off as he came to a halt, shoulders rising and falling as he took a deep breath. "Did I do something or—"

"I don't hate you Sansa, I never have," he turned to face her, blue eyes stormy and dark.

"Then why are we like this? Why can't we even have a civil conversation?"

"I heard you talking to Arya, shortly after we first met," he began. "You said I made your skin crawl and you'd never date someone like me."

"What? No," she shook her head. No he was wrong, so wrong.

If Gendry were to die in TWOW or ADOS, how would GRRM kill him off?

I personally think he will survive the series given the knowledge of his father being hidden from him means it will have a role to play in his story in my opinion.

Otherwise, theoretically he could die with a hammer in his hand, the way his father would have personally wanted. Either he is fighting against forces plaguing the smallfolk that are either the Lannisters or the Golden Company or he is at the Wall fighting the Long Night. He dies in battle the hero his father should have been with the last word on his lips being "Arya."
