#grandpa davos

[xxlittle0birdxx]

I have this headcanon for Game of Thrones — canon-compliant and AU/fix-it — that Davos Seaworth basically becomes everyone’s surrogate grandpa.

Need a sympathetic shoulder to cry on? Davos has it.

Someone had a baby? They receive a rattle/teether that he’s carved for them.

There’s always at least one kid at the Red Keep, running around, swinging a toy sword Davos made for them.

Getting married and you need a parental person? He’s already written a lovely, heartfelt toast for the feast.

After a couple of years, no one finds it strange to see a knot of children bellowing sea shanties at the top of their lungs. Davos can usually be found enthusiastically applauding them, while wiping a tear from the corner of his eye.

Duchess, which asoiaf parents (besides Oberyn) would you think would deal better with a scholar daughter much like Sarella?

Davos (he'd be so proud)

Alysanne (jaehaerys would prolly throw a tantrum but Alysanne did want women in the Citadel)

Leyton Hightower (his unmarried daughter is apparently a seer so he seems OK with the noncoventional)

Doran Martell (literally punishes his daughter with books)

Wyman Manderly (he's a girl grandpa, he strikes me as a good girl dad too who'd be delighted his daughter is uber clever)

I really want Davos to not only live, but to live to a ripe old age, being the unofficial grandpa, telling Gendry and Jon’s kids about all the foolish things they did and all the adventures they had.

Different kinds of Dads in GoT:

Ned: Dad Dad

Tywin: Dad Who Clearly Has A Favorite And Its Not You

Stannis: Dad With The Evil Stepmom

Davos: Sad Uncle Dad Who Brings You Presents From Far Away

Commander Mormont: Gruff Dad Who Denies Loving You But Absolutely Does

Oberyn: Cool Dad Who Drives A Ferrari

Mace Tyrell: Dad Who Is Definitely Not In Charge

Sandor: Murder Dad

Maester Luwin: Grandpa

With House of the Dragon coming out in a few days, thoughts of the OG dragon mama are resurfacing and how her story went *crying in anguish* Why?! 😩

So, it’s time to again repeat my mantra: I reject your reality and substitute my own. And in MY reality, Dany and Jon have taken their place as the ultimate dragon riding power couple as a just woman and honorable man with rockin outfits, ruling over the seven kingdoms happily with three beautiful children, who call Ser Davos, grandpa Davos and who they get little wooden dragon toys from. And you can’t change my mind, ya monsters, ya can’t!!! *cue running off the stage maniacally*

Whatever happened to Sammy's grandpa Alester?

Is it just me or did anyone else fail to realize that GRRM had Stannis and Melisandre burn Samwell's grandfather?

Alester Florent. Former Hand to the King. Uncle to Queen Selyse. The guy who shared Davos’ cell at Dragonstone.

Father to Melessa Florent - wife to Randyll Tarly, Samwell's mother.

Stannis burned him for treason and to get good sailing winds to make it to the Wall.

I am not capable of coping right now.

Stuff Jon and Sam have in common: grandpa burned by a fire-happy tyrant.

He was an uncle to Queen Selyse and had been among the first to follow her in accepting Melisandre's red god. If he is not a kinslayer, he is the next best thing. Axell Florent's brother had been burned by Melisandre, Maester Aemon had informed him, yet Ser Axell had done little and less to stop it. What sort of man can stand by idly and watch his own brother being burned alive? (ADWD, Jon IX)

That's Samwell's great-uncle. Sam’s a cousin to little Shireen!

This is going to have to come up again, no? The whole... burning thing? 

(Also Samwell did not, apparently, inherit the prominent Florent ears.)

I was tagged by the endlessly thoughtful @goatmilkoatmilk to take this personality quiz and share my top ten assigned kin! I didn’t recognize a lot of mine but here are the first ten that I actually knew! 

1.) Johnathan Byers (Stranger Things) - 87%

3.) Will Graham (Hannibal) - 84% (actually LOSING it over this one) 

12.) Allison Reynolds (The Breakfast Club) - 80%

15.) Remus Lupin (Harry Potter) - 79%

18.) John Munch (SVU) -  78% (forget what i said about Will Graham. this is so much more damning) 

19.) Pete Martell (Twin Peaks) - 78%

30.) Dobby (Harry Potter) - 76% (what!) 

34.) Grandpa Joe (Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory) - 76% 

41.) The Tin Man (The Wizard of Oz) - 75%

44.) Davos Seaworth (Game of Thrones) - 74% (<3 <3 <3) 

i’m not sure who has already done this but i’ll tag these friends: @canyon-moon-lesbian, @plaid-nightmares, @topshelf2112-blog, @elderfrogboy, and @tallratboy (also it’s ok if you don’t want to do this! just think of this tag as me waving at you <3)

Since you seemed to like these kinda questions!! From most to least, who do you think would find it beautiful for their s/o to have colored hair? Kinda like Wylla but the color varies

I do like them haha, it’s nice short stuff as opposed to a whole long reaction list. Bc sometimes reactions and preferences ain’t that deep lol, this is a perf example of that. also i love that wylla just randomly dyes her hair like she got it from some traders in the port and her dad and grandpa just roll with it

so! 

Jorah, Davos and Daenerys have been around Essos and have seen the hair coloring in Tyrosh and find it very attractive! I think they’d really like vibrant colors that aren’t remotely natural. Davos would def bring you dyes he came across at ports, Jorah likes to run his fingers through it when yall are cuddling and Daenerys likes to help out with the dying process (I think she wants to try it herself, but worries it’ll seem ‘frivolous’ for a queen to do so).

Theon, Yara, Bronn, Oberyn, Jory, Tyrion and Margaery like it right away because of how you stick out (esp in Westeros) and how you don’t seem to give a fuck what people think about it. It draws their attention and definitely makes them want to talk to you, because c’mon ... In this repressed medieval court society, it takes a lot to do something like dye your hair and stick out that hard, esp if you’re a woman. 

Missandei, Grey Worm, Edmure, Robb and Sansa admire it and your bravery to wear it so well. They aren’t as obsessed as the ones above, though. I feel like Edmure and Grey Worm are especially amused by different color combinations, while Sansa - who hated dying her hair the brief amount of time she had to do it - thinks holy crap that’s some dedication. She just keeps thinking about how long it takes haha. Robb refuses to admit how distracted he got anytime you walked by, but then he’d get used to it once yall are close.

Tormund gets his own category because he’s so fascinated and loves it so much like, imagine having a fiery ombre sort of style or having deep purples and blues or even something like pink and lavender. Idk he thinks it’s great and then you tell him about dyes and how you do it and he’s just super tickled by the whole process. Absolutely convinces you to dye your eyebrows too.

anyone else would be more into like .... simple highlights or just having the tips dyed, like Wylla does. Any more than that + very unnatural colors might be too striking for them LOL

[takebacktheyuri]

I knew Dorkman and Weenieoff were awful after they tortured Missandei as a plot device to trash Danys arc but, to turn sweet grandpa Davos into a dirty old pervert? That's another new low for the gruesome twosome they Re truly THE WORST
