The Mountain That Rides

[anxiousnerdwritings]

How would Gregor (the mountain) react to Joanna!lookalike passing? Again I would imagine not well.

He would become even more of a monster after the Reader’s death. Joanna!Lookalike was something completely and utterly special to him and now that she was gone, Gregor felt absolutely nothing even more than usual for anyone or anything in his wake. Similar to Cersei and Tywin, Gregor would put all his blame and rage towards Tyrion for taking away the only thing he could ever bring himself to have care for. As much as he would take great pleasure in visiting Tyrion in his cell and rip him apart piece by little piece and getting the dwarf’s punishment over with already, Gregor would refrain from doing so on Tywin’s orders, it takes everything in him to do so. But that wouldn’t keep Gregor from routinely standing outside Tyrion’s cell and just watching him. Staring him down, emitting the most intense and murderous aura from his unmoving stature as he does so.

Gregor had been the one who had carried Joanna!Lookalike’s body away after she died. Cersei had to be held back by her own father and various Kingsguards just so Gregor could get to his poor late princess. As much of a terrible monster Gregor already was, being left to witness the gruesome demise of the only thing he held dear to him and caring her lifeless body in his arms after not being able to protect her only fucked him up more. If it were anyone else he wouldn’t have batted an eye at it but Joanna!Lookalike!Reader wasn’t just anyone. When not behind closed doors, Gregor would be even more of a menace than normal. He would lash out without reason and at anyone who was within proximity of him. He didn’t care who or what crossed his path, either way it wouldn’t survive him one way or another. He would massacre and destroy just about anyone and anything. The only one’s somewhat safe from his wrath were Tywin, Cersei and the children. Even that wasn’t saying very much. On a few occasions, Gregor had been on the verge of disobeying or flat out not taking Tywin’s orders, even going as far as to not backdown when confronted about his insubordination. When he was carrying out orders, Gregor took them even further than he already use to.

When Tyrion demands a trial by combat, Gregor already knows he’s going to be the one to destroy whoever foolishly chooses to be the imp’s champion. He has every intention of ensuring Tyrion’s punishment for taking away his only precious thing in this world and he will happily cut down and tear through whoever he had to to see it happen. He knew nothing could ever bring his beloved princess back, he knew the only thing he ever cared about was gone forever but that self awareness did nothing to quell his deep seeded rage. He had absolutely nothing to lose or hold him back now and that was made everyone else’s problem more than ever.

I find it difficult to believe that people ship Sansa and Sandor.

She literally like 11 and he a grown man. Not only that, he’s a grown man with a lot of issues. He’s violent and very much unstable. He takes the time to trauma dump on young girl, hurt her and then threaten to kill her if she ever speaks of it. Disgusting.

I don’t care for his sad backstory, yes it’s sad what happen to him but that does not give him the right to lash out on Sansa like that.

He’s literally mental.

The Hound seemed surprised. "And how would Ned Stark's precious little daughter come to know the likes of them? Gregor never brings his pet rats to court."

Then who attended him when he went? Do you think he has higher class, non-sociopath men he keeps around in peacetime for appearances?

Higher-class, probably not (Gregor is way too cheap to pay for good servants), but otherwise yes.

As the Hound points out in this passage, Gregor usually keeps most of the "mountain's men" away from King's Landing and other parts of polite society - with the rare exception being his squire Joss Stillwood - because most of the mountain's men are not good enough at "masking" to pass for normal. You couldn't imagine Chyswick or the Tickler or Shitmouth attending on Gregor at a tourney for the Hand of the King; they'd cause an instant scandal and probably quite a few crimes.

It's actually a good example of how Gregor is more of an organized psychopath than unorganized psychopath: he understands the need and the mechanisms for keeping up appearances in mainstream society so that his many transgressions both personal and collective remain a matter of deniable rumor and reputation.

Sandor: *Spends his whole life trying to prove that he's not as bad as his older brother, Gregor {who r*pes, kills, etc}*

Rorge: *Stole Sandor's identity by somehow getting his grubby paws on Sandor's famous Hound helmet, and wearing it during a r*ping and killing spree with friends*

Most "Fans": *Actually believe Sandor regrets not r*ping and killing Sansa Stark {who he loves most} before he fled King's Landing {he was dying and was saying whatever he could to get Arya Stark *Sansa's litle sister* to finally end his suffering, but she robbed him and left him for dead}*

Sandor:

Dragons! Dragons for everyone

(Ramsay Bolton, Euron Greyjoy, Myrcella & Tommen Baratheon, Sandor & Gregor Clegane)

[allovesthings]

I've been thinking about of the double standard in this fandom and it's so aggravating sometimes.

This post started because I was thinking Rhaenyra and house of the dragon (the tv show) so I'll talk about her and that show first, with the videos calling her "the mad queen" for *checking note* turning around and looking mad at the camera because her son is dead while we never hear the same thing when Aemond ask his nephew to give his own eye out and then chase him with a gigantic dragon through a storm. Or Crispin bashing the head of someone at a Banquet because he was mad...

I feel like the most obvious one is Dany but this is a problem of GOT portraying Dany as "the mad queen" and the fandom applying it to the books when someone else very obviously have parallels and foreshadowing for it and it's not Dany (hint: it's start with a C and end with Ersei) and it really bother me especially considering people like Tywin Lannister who sacked King's Landing, ordered the murder of children, plotted the red wedding, destroyed two entire houses or the Boltons who were also part of the red wedding AND are known to flay people alive or even the Freys (who while not liked by the fandom are not called mad either) also part of the red wedding as a response to an offence that was repaid with the wedding of Edmure or the Mountain who has done more horrific things than anyone else and they are also never being called "mad" for that.

And then we get to Arya being too far gone and leaving on a boat out of society because she is being trained as an assassin (as if her part of her storyline was not about her finding a place in society as a gender-non conforming girl and not being able to lose her identity as Arya Stark through everything ), when there are men like Jaime or Sandor Clegane (or even Theon) who have killed children (or tried to for Jaime) and lost theirs identity to some extent and still seen as sympathetic and there no doubts in the fandom's mind that they are not too far gone and have a chance to come back from the horrors they"ve done.

Which leads me to Catelyn and Lady Stoneheart. While I do agree that she might be different as Lady Stoneheart (being killed in an horrifying manner after watching her oldest dies also in a horrifying way would do that to you), this is not really criticism and more of an open-ended thing that's been going through my mind. If we compare the theories on Lady Stoneheart and Jon post resurrection, both of them being more vengeful seems to be the main theory but only Cat is getting killed again by Arya because "she is too far gone in her vengeance". Part of it is actual foreshadowing that could be there (not sure if I believe it but I think the hints could point to it) but part of it feels like it's not.

GAME OF THRONES 1.05, THE WOLF AND THE LION

[anxiousnerdwritings]

Okay, so I watched grayscale removal and I couldn’t imagine how much it hurts. Since Joanna!Reader had grayscale, what if it was removed? I imagine it would hurt Reader so much but it’s the only way to save her. I imagine that her screams are heard in the castle and it takes everything to Lannisters not to bust in her chambers and stop this process, because they can’t bear Joanna!Reader’s screams.

Cersei, Tywin, Jaime, Tyrion and the Mountain would without a doubt be in the room with Joanna!lookalike!Reader while she’s being treated. Cersei would be clutching onto her child’s hand for comfort, not only for her child’s comfort and reassurance but also for her own. Tywin would be overseeing the entire process. Jaime and Tyrion would be there for moral support, trying to ease the situation but not being of any real help. Tyrion would of course get on Cersei’s nerves trying to joke away the importance and critical-ness of what’s taking place and just being their in general. The Mountain would be looming over and staring into the soul of the maester treating the Reader throughout the entire ordeal.

Also, I don’t mention it enough but Joanna!lookalike would also totally have her lion companion with her too. And that lion is all eyes on the maester, one wrong move and it’s lights out for him.

I can see Joffrey, Myrcella, and Tommen being outside their sibling’s room while this all takes place, them having been not allowed to be inside to witness what’s to come for their own protection. But the moment the Reader starts screaming they’ll burst through the door out of worry and anguish for their beloved sibling. Sandor is probably the one guarding the door or at the very least he’s in attendance because of Joffrey and he ends up being the one to wrangle up the kids to take back outside. Not to mention Tyrion’s probably also been kicked out by Cersei or Tywin at Theo point so now he’s trying to console and comfort Myrcella and Tommen.

Maybe even Sansa and Margaery are there too, waiting outside with the others and worrying about Joanna!lookalike too. Once the screaming starts they’re even more worried and can only think of the worse. Sandor probably has to wrangle them up too when the others burst in to see what’s happening. (I can’t help but imagine Sandor being forced to corral and carry five people in his arms all at once, like holding a bunch of cats. Hell, they’re probably scratching and biting him like cats to let them all go and be with their poor Reader.)

The pain that the Reader is so obviously feeling and going through would be immense. It would take everything in all of the family members to not put a stop to the removal right then and there. It would be so much worse for Cersei if she couldn’t touch her child until after the fact. How desperate she would be to just want to caress her child’s head, smoothing their hair and kissing them. Even to just hold their hand or at the very least link pinkies with them to give some kind of reassurance to both of them. Either way, if Cersei couldn’t touch her child in this harrowing moment it would be much harder for her to allow the entire thing to continue. Tywin may even have Jaime take Cersei out of the room if that were the case. And you know damn well Cersei won’t be leaving without a fight. Hell, Gregor may even have to be the one to remove her from the situation.

In the long run it would all be worth it to not only save their beloved Joanna!lookalike but also to give them the ability to go about their life outside of the confines of their room. But in the moment it would take a lot out of everyone to not step in, especially when the Reader starts screaming in agony.
