One thing that I hate that the show runners did was take away Renly's complexities and make him a straight up good guy that just wants what's best for the people. In the books, hes crazy, but it makes sense!! His family left him!!! And now he's like kind of terrible and no one understands why. From the ages of three to five he's starved and watches other people starve too. His parents are killed in front of him as a baby!! I mean, he obviously doesn't remember their deaths, but it's not really a comforting thought none the less. But throughout all this extreme trauma, he has Stannis. He has his big brother who loves him and takes care of him and is like a father to him. They go through all of this together. Even when it seems hopeless, like they're going to have to resort to cannibalism (presumably Renly, being a little kid, doesn't know this) they still have each other. Then, things start to look up when Davos brings them onions or whatever. They're not going to die, their men aren't going to continue dying. Robert wins the throne. But then he decides that Stannis needs to come to King's landing with him. They just. Leave their little brother alone in Storms End with the maesters. After everything he's been through (and they've been through together) he is abandoned. Then he has to watch Robert start a family of his own, listen to all the praise for Joffrey, the Prince, and none for him. What's worse is Shireens birth. Stannis was his main father figure!! And he abandoned him and now has a kid of his own. Then Stannis wonders why Renly hates him and Robert hates Renly for wanting his approval so badly. I wonder why, Robert!!! He does everything for the attention he never got when he was little and always wanted. He can't even properly see the love that Maester Cressen has for him because he's disillusioned. The show just takes all of that away, and it could've been soooo good and so complex, but it just falls flat

Reblog if you are willing to do toxic ships

Not every love is sweet and kind Sometimes, love is dangerous Poisonous, addictive, obsessive Leaving emotional, mental and physical scars Don’t want to walk away, refuse to let go To need, no matter how much it hurts To know the same pain is returned Because some don’t want just the sweet They crave the bitter too

【@ulvehekser sent a raven】: ❛ you humans are most amusing. ❜ 

he frowned. briefly— it had to be some poor wretch who had a bit too much ale, but as all commoners did he too deserved sympathy, despite the vaguely valyrian features he sported && his blatant lack of proper manners.

what's that supposed to mean anyway ?

"is that so ? i am happy to hear i have managed to amuse you so, friend, though your name escapes me .. is this your first time at the capital ?" it had to be, otherwise his spies would have filled him in by now.

ah— an honest confession .. or simply some more proof of his potential ally's naivety. it was never a good thing to let one's 'emotions get the best of them', especially when it came to politcs, and CONFESSING to have such a flaw to the wrong kind of people would only make it worse. if anything this conversation had only proved renly's suspicions ; robb stark was a fearsome enemy yet a foolish ally .. and he had to be disposed of when the time came.

"i cannot wait to see that for myself," he replied encouragingly nonetheless, baratheon eyes alight with something akin to admiration. robb stark could not be intimidated, he had concluded, but could be coaxed into cooperation by .. different means. "even me ? well .. unlike my brothers ruling through fear has never been my ideal, and neither should it be yours if you wish to not only gain power, but also remain in power. there is no shortage of fearsome people on this continent, but those who inspire love ? only that kind of people are truly immortalized. i don't know about you my friend, but when i'm gone i'd like to have people writing ballads about my reign, not horror stories .."

renly's expression shifted slightly when robb likened himself to aegon the conquerer, and he slowly withdrew his hand. "is that what you desire deep down, to make the seven kingdoms bow to you ? do you seek CONQUEST ? my my .. maybe i should worry more about your ambition, maybe you won't be satisfied with having simply the north." he baited then, feigning sorrow. but the following question put a somewhat innocent smile on the older's face. "i don't see how i'm vexing you, when i'm the only one getting choked and threatened and insulted— exactly in that order .. you've been quite hostile tonight, i say you find a way to make it up to me and do it soon."
