Μy hot take is that the fandom should start treating the dragons less as nuclear bombs and more like magical animals, like they do with the direwolves.

I think it's interesting that the character who paints the most...redeemable? flattering? picture of cersei in their povs is probably catelyn. I'm not saying cat doesn't hate her, she absolutely does and for good reason, but she also sees cersei as a sort of mirror to herself and her motherhood. when catelyn goes to the sept in the (spoilers for acok i guess) chapter renly dies, she takes a moment to think about how even though she hates cersei for what she did, she can't say she wouldn't have done the same in her place, for her children. she sees cersei in the image of the mother and wonders if she prays to her too, which is more humanising than pretty much anything her brothers have to say about her in their povs. and this coming from the woman who said "give me cersei lannister and you'd see how gentle a woman can be" btw. idk I just think it's interesting

meanwhile in her povs cersei is like "catelyn stark was a MOUSE"

Lanns n Starks lineups/costumes sketches that I will probably add other houses to. Tywin and Joff & the rest aren't here because I was lazy and Cerseis dress took all of my energy. Don't ask me about inspiration or historical basis for these

Jon Snow have always been outspoken. From his very first appearance to his last, he always speaks his mind. So, while I was re reading his first meeting with Stannis, I noticed how, once again, he was bold enough to share this views and even disagree with the King.

During that scene, Jon wasn't Lord Commander, yet. He was still a bastard boy, a steward of the Night's Watch, who was accused to be a desserter. What is more, he was the brother of Robb Stark, who according to Stannis claims was an usurper. Someone else on Jon's place would simply agree with everything Stannis said to get on his good grades. But not Jon.

He starts his conversation with Stannis by correcting him when he calls him "Lord Snow"

"Rise. I have heard much and more of you, Lord Snow."

"I am no lord, sire." Jon rose.

When Stannis insults all the Lord Commander candidates, Jon jumps in to defend those he considers worthy to gain the title.

Stannis grimaced. "Noye made my first sword for me, and Robert's warhammer as well. Had the god seen fit to spare him, he would have made a better Lord Commander for your order than any of these fools who are squabbling over it now."

"Cotter Pyke and Ser Denys Mallister are no fools, sire," Jon said. "They're good men, and capable. Othell Yarwyck as well, in his own way. Lord Mormont trusted each of them."

Later on, as Jon corrects Stannis once again after calling him "Lord Snow" he even complains that Stannis didn't arrived on the Wall earlier.

"Words. Words are wind. Why do you think I abandoned Dragonstone and sailed to the Wall, Lord Snow?"

"I am no lord, sire. You came because we sent for you, I hope. Though I could not say why you took so long about it."

Another monarch would be irritated by Jon's boldness. However, Stannis who hates flattery actually takes a liking to the boy. He even smiles after Jon's comment I shared right above.
