i like how the inclusion of The Warrior as an aspect of god in asoiaf catholicism makes it absurdly suited to reaching heaven through violence. the only ‘holy’ war in the medieval era was explicitly crusading in church interests most theologians would tell you unambiguously most men fighting earthly wars (ESPECIALLY knights who had a choice) went directly to hell. in asoiaf arguably all bloodshed is religiously charged

I have joined the journaling cult! Hopefully I stay consistent with this alongside my current budget planner. Also the quote is by @orpheuslament
It is interesting how egg repeatedly calls bloodraven ‘baseborn’ and how dunk has to correct him MULTIPLE times, and remind him that he means bastard. Which on its face doesn’t seem that weird given the prejudice of bastards in asoiaf, but considering bloodraven was literally born to a king and a noblewoman he’s about as far from the smallfolk as could be. which again shows how deep the stigma for illegitimate children runs, as in egg’s mind at least there is no discernible difference between how a bastard should be treated and how a peasant should be treated (obviously his views change later on but still)
