I Don't Want Beef So I'm Just Gonna Tag It As That - Tumblr Posts

“ “Who is Gilly?”

 “The wet nurse,” said Lady Melisandre. 

“Your Grace gave her freedom of the castle.” 

“Not for running tales. She’s wanted for her teats, not for her tongue. I’ll have more milk from her, and fewer messages. ” “Castle Black needs no useless mouths,” Jon agreed. “I am sending Gilly south on the next ship out of Eastwatch.” Melisandre touched the ruby at her neck. “Gilly is giving suck to Dalla’s son as well as her own. It seems cruel of you to part our little prince from his milk brother, my lord.” Careful now, careful. “Mother’s milk is all they share. Gilly’s son is larger and more robust. He kicks the prince and pinches him, and shoves him from the breast. Craster was his father, a cruel man and greedy, and blood tells.” The king was confused. “I thought the wet nurse was this man Craster’s daughter?” “Wife and daughter both, Your Grace. Craster married all his daughters. Gilly’s boy was the fruit of their union.” “Her own father got this child on her?” Stannis sounded shocked. “We are well rid of her, then. I will not suffer such abominations here. This is not King’s Landing.” “I can find another wet nurse. If there’s none amongst the wildlings, I will send to the mountain clans. Until such time, goat’s milk should suffice for the boy, if it please Your Grace.” “Poor fare for a prince … but better than whore’s milk, aye.”

Why did so many boys like Stannis again, exactly? With the way Tumblr talked about him, I expected better.
