#kasia rereads asoiaf

[morgenlich]

maester aemon thinking about dany, and trying to get sam to convince the citadel to send her a maester to guide her, in his last days always gets me man

[morgenlich]

“your father was not a tapestry” might be my favorite line in the series tbh

[morgenlich]

“to pay her drunken homage with his cock” is a really masterful line imo, i think it’s like just well written but also it reveals a lot about how cersei sees herself

[morgenlich]

also it’s a really minor detail but exhibit number 35564 of d&d simply not giving a fuck about the fantasy elements of the story, but i can’t recall the show ever mentioning the in-universe reason that people in westeros use ravens to deliver mail so in the show it’s kind of just like well i guess they’re cooler and more symbolic pigeons

when in the books they are cooler and more symbolic pigeons and also the children of the forest used them as messengers by talking to them and humans learned from them but eventually forgot how to talk to them so started using them to carry letters instead

[morgenlich]

type of woman (affectionate)

[morgenlich]

“seven is a sacred number” says man born to a family that worships the drowned god and raised as a ward by a family that worships the old gods

[morgenlich]

posting asoiaf thoughts rather than reading bc i left off earlier on one of arya’s braavos chapters and i really. do not care for them dsgdgd

[morgenlich]

also good god reading cersei’s affc pov chapters is so [rubs my face] sweetie you’re an idiot

[morgenlich]

also when cersei makes the comment about how a mother shouldn’t outlive her children and a captain shouldn’t outlive his ship it’s like. hm. hmmmmm

[morgenlich]

not enough people talk about how the first named horse jaime rides in years is named Honor

[morgenlich]

arya and sandor’s dynamic is soooo fucking 👨‍🍳💋 like !!! tfw the man whose death you pray for every night becomes your unwilling protector

[morgenlich]

i keep trying to find my post about grrm’s greatest most gutting one-liners so i can add this to it but tumblr. is tumblr lmao anyway. quentyn being scared, because he doesn’t want to burn ….

[morgenlich]

thinking sooo much about tyrion and penny and how much it fucking sucks that the show didn’t include her

[morgenlich]

getting this chapter after the first reek chapter…asoiaf being about the horror of losing oneself…….much to think about…..

[morgenlich]

tbh lysa arryn is in my top 5 or so easy to hate characters in the series she’s just so.

[morgenlich]

i also somehow forgot that robb wanted to legitimize jon and name him his heir…something jon will never know about……
