robb sleeping with jeyne out of grief for bran and rickon (they’re not dead). jon breaking his vows to rescue arya from the boltons (she’s not arya). robb believing that his trust in theon led to the deaths of his little brothers. jon wrestling with the guilt of remaining at castle black when his little sister needs him. robb seeing bran and rickon in the dead lannisters boys who he failed to protect. jon being reminded of arya as alys karstark begs for his help in escaping her abusers. robb executing lord karstark for the lannister boys’ murders. jon locking up cregan stark and getting alys back home safely.

robb and jon’s grief and guilt and love for their siblings leading to their own brutal murders. their siblings being left to mourn them instead.

regarding the whole “what color will jon snow’s hair be”-debate i feel like people are maybe forgetting that the resurrection most likely will take place in connection with them burning his body which means first and foremost jon is gonna be BALD

GRRM is in fact really good at making up top tier characters i will use the starklings to illustrate the point okay you got: 1) high school freshman King Arthur stars in a shakespearean tragedy, as told by his mom; 2) local moody teenaged Starbucks night shift manager must do his very best to stop the zombie apocalypse through the power of friendship; 3) a middle schooler who keeps her sparkly butterfly gel pens in perfect rainbow order at all times is being held hostage by her evil middle school boyfriend and his evil blonde mafia family; 4) a scrappy but poorly-supervised middle-grade book protagonist bops about a war-zone looking for her family but instead! learns about Death; 5) paraplegic fourth grader Frodo Baggins receives mystical visions and must go on a quest to see a hundred-year-old tree guy; and 6) kindergartener that Bites

cersei lannister being unintentionally the funniest (in a depressing way) character in asoiaf will never stop being my favorite thing.

sure shes tragic and terrifying in a way, and its very pitiful to see how delulu she is but its also hilarious how she is deadass living in a constant looney tunes sketch throughout the entire plot of a feast for crows

like the entire plot to kill bronn that somehow ends up with him becoming a landed lord??? peak comedy

like i get shes pissed they wanted to name the kid tywin (i mean he was her dad c’mon) but she tries to have bronn assassinated because he dared to name his bastard son “tyrion.” not only is that objectively hilarious levels of petty (the guy LITERALLY just wanted to name the baby after his buddy??) but she assigns this extremely crucial murder mission to the most incompetent knight in the realm. the medieval equivalent of a used tissue. and she doesn’t even give him instructions??? just vibes!! she’s just like “idk, kill him. figure it out.”

and balman??? decides the best course of action is to challenge bronn (BRONN, the guy who is notoriously without honour and killed a guard by kicking him off a mountain) to SINGLE COMBAT. no sneaky poison. no arranged accident. just sheer dumb confidence on his own abilities.

and when he loses (bc ofc he does) and bronn crushes his legs with a horse and stabs him in the eye for good measure, he immediately spills cersei’s plan like a toddler caught with a cookie lmao

meanwhile Cersei is like “omg did he tell bronn it was me 😟” and falyse, who is watching this entire farce unfold in real time like 🫣.

this whole arc plays like a comedy of errors, falyse is kicked out of her own house (and later becomes dr frankensteins plaything). bronn becomes lord. cersei basically created her own enemy with the power of incompetence, delusions and wine. like how do you try to kill a guy and end up giving him a castle???? girl.

So I actually don’t think that’s what he wants you to say

[winterprince601]

the otherwise-perceptive Jon Snow's "everybody hates me" bc he's moody teenager versus delusional queen Theon Greyjoy's "everybody hates me" as a rare moment of self-awareness 🤌

ok not a Jon girl as we all know but this line always gets me man….. Lyanna is all over this kid and yet utterly invisible to him and everyone else….

Baby Stannis gently nursing an injured bird back to health when no one else would and naming her Proudwing until the bird loved him and perched on his shoulder and followed him around until he abandoned the her because Robert told him it was gay to have an animal friend who couldn’t do violence is still so evocative to me like I’m genuinely so so sad thinking about it

[winterprince601]

Who are you?

[winterprince601]

i refuse to try any harder than this.

Renly's entire storyline is genuinely so fucking funny. Like his brother dies and leaves behind two potential legitimate heirs, and he's just like "no I don't think so." He has absolutely no legal backing for his claim. If you ask him what gives him the right to be king, he'll say, "well people like me more than those two fuckers." And the best part is he almost managed it. Rip Renly Baratheon. You were this close to inventing democracy.

[winterprince601]

When [Arya] got to the part where she threw Joffrey’s sword into the middle of the Trident, Renly Baratheon began to laugh. The king bristled. “Ser Barristan, escort my brother from the hall before he chokes.” Lord Renly stifled his laughter. “My brother is too kind. I can find the door myself.” He bowed to Joffrey. “Perchance later you’ll tell me how a nine-year-old girl the size of a wet rat managed to disarm you with a broom handle and throw your sword in the river.”

A Game of Thrones, George R.R. Martin. Chapter: Eddard

i’m crying renly is hilarious 😭😭😭

[winterprince601]

she's asking him to lock in

[winterprince601]

i love jon and sam's friendship so much because jon sees this guy getting bullied and immediately went hm i will leverage all my newly earned social status to make everyone be his friend. and then he sent his apex predator megafauna to bite the one guy who didn't immediately agree. and this happened like. the day they met. ride or die fr.
