#jaime lannister parallels fr

[kataraavatara]

I’m actually so curious about HOTD’s version of Ser Erryk Cargyll? First of all, incredibly underrated character.

So in the Driftmark episode, Erryk is the one who informs Alicent of the “delicate situation” aka Aegon raping Dyana. When Alicent confronts Dyana she tells her “You told Ser Erryk, and Talia, and now me.”

The way the show presents it, it seems like Erryk is the first person Dyana went to after being raped.

I find it interesting that the first person a young teenager told about her assault was both a man and sworn to serve her assaulter. Why? Was he outside the door because he’s Aegon’s sworn shield (like a Jaime-Rhaella-Aerys parallel), he was the first person she saw upon fleeing Aegon’s room and she just broke down? Did she just feel safe talking to him because he was a member of the Kingsguard, renowned for their virtue (and vows of chastity)? Was she subconsciously hoping for justice or some kind of protection because of all the stories of knightly honor and chivalry? Or does he have a reputation as a generally kind man/good knight, someone safe to talk to?

I also love that they gave him Steffon Darklyn’s storyline. Watching him stand up for something in episodes 9 & 10 really solidified him as my favorite member of the Kingsguard. Genuinely obsessed with the Erryk/Jaime comparisons. idc.
