A Song Of Ice And Feels - Tumblr Posts

it is so obvious on a second (and adult) reading that sansa doesn't love joffrey but the idea of a prince and she doesn't have a crush on loras but on the idea of a knight and she doesn't want power (whatever that means for a teenager) when she dreams of being queen, she's just trying to insert herself intentionally into that story. what a fascinating, complex, meta-narrative well constructed character

"he was never unfaithful to robert, was he?" - jaime, acok

ha. ha ha ha. the irony of this line is incredible. what's so striking to me is how one dimensional the realm's understanding of eddard stark as an honourable man is - honour itself is an incredibly complicated and unattainable ideal in asoiaf and i think ned as the stereotypical emblem of it encompasses many of the reasons why. because whilst he absolutely does consider acting in a conventionally honourable way important, he always prioritises those he loves. he defended cat's actions as his own without a second thought when she arrested tyrion. his main priority in king's landing is to see his daughters safe, not to secure the succession. lyanna is the prime example: jon's existence is not the result of the lapse of honourable ned stark, it was honourable ned stark choosing his love for his sister over his duty to his king. that and his personal ethical belief that the political murder of a child is never morally acceptable.

no one in the realm has the insight into his personality we get in the first book. none of his children, vitally, understand that he would always prioritise their safety over any honourable scruples. all of the starklings question what their honourable father would think of their actions - killing in self-defence, marrying jeyne westerling, sleeping with ygritte to name a few examples - without recognising that ned's true first priority was always his family's safety.

in fact, he betrayed robert far more than he ever betrayed cat and he would have betrayed honour for his family's safety every time.

i don't know how else to say it: jon snow comes from two long lines of reckless magical bullshit and is basically a melting pot of feral royal blood but that's less important than the fact that he was raised by ned stark.

Every single time I see Rheanrya in House of Dragons I love her and the more I love her the more i want to cry! 😭 Because I know her ending I know how much she suffers and my heart can not bare it! 💔

I don’t know how I will be able to make it to the end of House of Dragon and watch all that will happen.

I pray that the writers change the ending, change history and i know every one who knows the tragedy waiting to happen does the same.

This might be the first time ever that fans would be clamouring to actually change the ending of book or completely ignore one.

What if i made my own a song of ice an fire RP? Hmm? Would people join? I DONT CARE IM MAKING IT

If S6 Rickon Stark would be alive today his Discord handle would be Thotpolice and he’d be regularly shitposting on r/entitledparentswith stories he made up.

First time I watched GOT Arya’s S5 arc really made me frustrated bc of Jaqen H’ghar . Like, when they were at Harrenhall, he was this mysterious, charming guy who’s clearly super intelligent and extremely dangerous and has a interest in Arya (not in a romantic way ffs).

But then what we meet in S5 is this plain, uninteresting guy who barely seems to even acknowledge that Arya exists. None of the traits that made him fun or interesting are there - just a blank slate. I was super dissapointed, until I realized...

...That’s the point.

People who say “Theon isn’t a Greyjoy he’s one of the Starks bc his family cast him aside and he grew up in the North” and people who say “Theon is a Greyjoy not a Stark he was just a hostage and his betrayal was justified” are both equally WRONG because both families treated him like shit and he was only part of their family’s to them when it was convenient and neither deserve him.

Someone has a head cannon that after BotB Sansa renames the Dreadfort to “Lady’s Keep” and hrrrrng god that’s the best shit I’ve read all year

Whenever I feel sad I remember how awkwardly the Greyjoy’s stood when they met Dany in 6x09 like no one ever taught them how to interact with other humans and then I get sad again because I remember that their father was Balon Greyjoy and no he probably never did

Hey do y’all wanna read my abstract, weird, slowburn S6 divergence Snowjoy fic -- No? Haha....Unless?

If I’m being honest  its more of a exploration of Theon and Jon then their relationship together but hey -- the things we do for  love   the little gremlin creature living in my head that makes me write things.

I wish this was twitter so I could make a twitter thread about asoiaf/got characters as anime tropes and have my first hot take be that Ramsay is a tsundere

wait why the fuck did germ say there are no gay narraters in the books both dany and cersei literally both-- oh. nvrmind.

i dont really post about j/b often on m account but fuck if it isnt the best written relationship in asoiaf like damn georgy really went off w that one

i really actually hope that jon isn’t trueborn. idk why but its midly upsetting to think that he’s a trueborn targ because then it almost feels like it ruins his whole character and everything yk??? finding his own places in the nw, moving up in ranks to become lord commander and leading the free folk south could all suddenly explained with “its because he’s a targaryen!!” 

being is bastard is literally MOST of jon’s character and why he is the way he is and why he does the things he does. it’s most of his struggles, especially in the earlier books, and where both his personal doubts and determination comes from. why take that away?

was just confronted with the terrifying reality that podrick actually might be dead brb gonna go scream into my pillow

im way to attached to all of the stark children. what if.....what if they dont survive the books....what if not all of them make it....like ive never even considered it....

This is so accurate it hurts. *sob*
