Samwell Tarly is objectively the best character in ASoIaF. Genuinely tries to be a good person at every step of the journey, only member of the Night's Watch to even try to help a single one of Craster's daughters (Jon Snow could never), literally has the highest kill ratio of Others for any single man at the Wall, also a nerd. He even invented voter fraud.
I know Lance can be nice and is often wrongly painted as the villain, but how arrogant do you have to be to call the stewards decision "ridiculous", when you are the reason for Daniels DNF and Oscars significant damage? Own up to your mistakes.
It's a hair pin while the safety car was deployed. He should know that the cars are slow.
Ppl going "waaahh unpopular opinion but Alice is kind of annoying and obnoxious and I don't think I'd like be her friend irl" is so funny to me bc like.
God forbid a cast of characters be multifaceted and have actual flaws and unpleasant aspects other than "grr angsty hero" and "whoops i'm so clumsy". Sometimes character dynamics and arcs need to be prioritized above "who would i personally be niceys with irl"
2. bro just WAIT until you hear about season 1 jon lol
Something very interesting that I never think about (which I probably should as a Martin Blackwood kinnie but oh well) is the way martin changes. Specifically in seasons 3-5.
By the end of the series, martins not putting on that stutter and tip toeing around other people. He’s standing up for himself and advocating for both what he believes and for Jon. He’s confident in the fact that he can be unconfident. I think the main example of that would be mag 198 when he says to basira and jon, “yeah yeah I have self esteem issues, not the point” because season 1 Martin would have NEVER said that out loud. It’s not that he was portraying himself as someone with high confidence or anything in season 1, quite the opposite actually, but he was making himself smaller. He doesn’t do that anymore. He intentionally decides to take up space. He might not think he’s important, and he definitely still isn’t his biggest fan, but he’s allowing himself to exist. To be with Jon. To be the Antichrists plus one. Jons boyfriend. To be Martin Blackwood. To be Not Lonely Anymore.
I know people have talked about this before but I feel like I haven’t fully talked about it in DEPTH enough. He’s so so different than he was in season 1. And I’m sure that’s one of the many reasons he says to Jon “it took years worth of trauma to even make us compatible” because-well even if he was in love with Jon since season 1, that doesn’t mean they were right together back then. Although, as we’ve discussed, no matter the universe they will always end up being right for each other. I hate them so much
So I've kinda been exploring a plot idea I have for a WK comic/fanfiction/AU??? (Not really sure what to call it) Except all the canonical villains aren't competent enough to actually pull it off so I made a villain OC... Anyways I guess you could consider this concept art as I think about it some more :]
These are actually the first frames of mini comic about Jon's biting i drew, but i'm an awful writer and right now it feels too cringey to post the whole thing. So yeah, right now it's only beautiful Martin and Jon the "shy potato in love"
Dany may not like the starks but all the starklings love the targaryen tales, they won’t just start hating her for no reason
I assume you’re reacting to this post and I don’t understand how you came away thinking I was blithely announcing they’ll hate her “for no reason”?
If Dany has a reason to hate the Starks (as you suggest) because of which side of the rebellion their father was on and what that meant for her own life, why don’t the Starks have that same right? If Jon thought this of Mance and the Free Folk:
What’s he gonna think about an invading force when there’s no wall between them? Led by a woman from the family his father (or the man he believed was his father) rebelled against? A woman with Dothraki who are known to rape and enslave? And she has dragons. I think there’s good reason to believe Jon will be wary from the start, and then things will transpire that make him see her as a threat to his family, to “everyone I ever loved,” and that will make her his enemy. Besides, Jon was willing to kill someone “he half admired and almost liked…” to protect the Starks, so even if he didn’t loathe Dany, that isn’t gonna save her. 🤷🏻♀️
