after actually getting some sleep i have one change i’d make here and that is that tyrion is not the only lannister with some semblance of care for ‘ the people ’ , because jaime freaking made the decision to kill a king for that very purpose , and his guilt/coping with that is a major facet to his character . and then even within this show specifically he made the decision to directly disobey cersei to try and fight the greater threat that would have brought death to millions of people , rather than go sail off with her . him suddenly being like ‘i don’t really care about the people’ is so???¿??

haha wow everything about that was terrible .

haha wow everything about that was terrible .

SIGHS. everyone’s characterization is terrible . all of the writing is terrible . all of the plot twists are terrible . even the fucking.... showdowns we expect and wait for are terrible . the pacing is terrible . EVEN THE MUSIC IS SOMEHOW WORSE ? ( i was really really missing that triumphant version of dracarys through most of this episode ) here’s a c&p from my yelling in discord though because i can’t bring myself to do words better right now :

the three good things that happened in that episode

1. the 5 seconds of jon and grey worm fighting next to each other even though it was completely ruined by every other second of the episode 2. the filmography for transitioning between compositions, because for some reason d&d suddenly decided this was their art house film and it had to have a lot of those and i guess they looked nice 3. the acting, as always, was way better than this writing deserves so even as I was thinking 'what the fuck is this' i still was kind of sad for some of the characters.

the bad stuff .... everything else .

WHY was arya suddenly a frightened girl afraid of all the death happening around her?? where did this.... *gestures at her character* come from? why was that clegane fight filled with so much shitty CGI and treated like it was something we were being properly built up for as though it was some main arc of the show? i literally forgot sandor and his brother were a thing, i just assume for some reason he really wanted to kill cersei. THAT WAS SO AWKWARD cersei btw just like.... scurrying past after qyburn is just casually knocked off like 'oh right guess we need to make sure he's dead by the end' IT WAS THE BELLS? IT WAS ACTUALLY THE FUCKING BELLS???? WHY IS GREY WORM SUDDENLY LIKE EVIL?? is it because his wife died? did we really get that blatant a 'woman dies for man pain' direct cause and effect? seeing the familiar sets crumble to pieces is only interesting for like 3 minutes unless you figure out new ways to make it happen. watch a fucking roland emmerich film please. tyrion? everything was stupid except that he quantified a sacrifice of him vs the citizens of kings landing being worth it. that was legit. I really thought he was asking davos to help smuggle citizens or food in or something not help cersei and jaime RUN AWAY TOGETHER tf is this???? since when does tyrion prioritize his family over the greater good? THAT'S LIKE THE WHOLE THING HE ISN'T SUPPOSED TO BE. he’s always wanted the love of his family and he loved his siblings but he’s literally the only one of the entire house that cares about ~*~the people~*~ to any degree. i don’t.... think i could have imagined a more uninspired finish for euron. i mean i know he’s already the sad shadow of a shadow of a shadow of his book self, but really? ‘i killed jaime lannister’ is.... your calling out card?? mystical... arya horse bonding moment ? horse whisperer ?? i don’t i don’t understand you guys ......

           some of the best characters are the ones we love to hate , and boy do i candidate for you . please give this a like or reblog if you’d interested in writing with a petyr baelish/littlefinger/garbage boy stink man from GOT/ASOIAF . come join us in coming up with new and exciting ways for him to die , while creep by radiohead plays perpetually in the background , it’ll be fun i promise .

[halfclever-blog]

This isn't really about your portrayal but I just wanted to say that you seem really sweet and I'm usually really shy here (hence the anon sorry) but I'm actually really excited to write with you just because of how nice you've been to me and everyone else already. Sorry if this seems kind of creepy, but I hope it makes sense.

ahhhhh no nonnie don’t apologize , this is so NICE ?? i do really hope i seem approachable , i have absolutely no reason not to be . i’m just a nerd playing pretend on the internet with all the rest of you , and i’m really excited to meet all the people here that i can because despite what a god damn disaster the show is , the fandom here has proven to be extremely kind and welcoming . it sounds like you and i are already on our way to writing together , but please don’t hesitate to nudge me through IM as well if you can shove aside some of that anxiety . i’m hella shy and nervous too , so i promise i won’t bite , and i’d truly love to get to know you !

               EVER SO BELOVED AND DARLING SISTER .

         ❛   yes , i know . i count on that as most of the humor . you , on the other hand , are simply overflowing with comedic genius . ‘ the quarter man ’ . did you work that one out with pycelle or come up with it all your own ?   ❜

        he helps himself to his own cup of wine , it being one of the few things they can regularly agree on after all . he certainly has no intention of facing his sister sober , at the very least , and she clearly has quite the head start for him to catch up with .

         ❛   the unpleasant news is that your son is all but declaring war on the entirety of his own people . how are we meant to expect them to lay down their lives on his command when his idea of a good joke is mocking and torturing the ones begging him for food ?   ❜

Even your tags comments are so ic, how do you do that? I love everything I've read from you so far. Keep on doing such amazing job!!

how is my portrayal ?

aww , thanks pumpkaboo ! i honestly just tag everything on all my roleplay accounts with a bunch of silly snark , it just happens to fit the character this time lol .i’m flattered you’re enjoying my take so far though ! your own portrayal of jaime is a real treat itself . i’m especially fond of your attention to his inner observations , it takes a good understanding of your character to gather what they notice in their surroundings without simply going on tangents or breaking away from what it makes sense for them to care about imo . soon i will get through all these starters i owe and we will start writing together , as i am definitely looking forward to it ! !!

Daenerys absorbed all that her hand had to share in silence. Lord Royce reminded her of Ser Barristan, in a way: honorable, as every knight of the Seven Kingdoms should be, and the Knights of the Vale more than any. Yet he stood a long way from home in the service of a Northern lady. The years had not diminished the Starks’ friendship with the Vale, it seemed, an alliance forged in the destruction of her own house. 

Lord Baelish was a more difficult man to grasp. He spoke courteously enough, though each sentence came laced with a double meaning, each word a careful step in the courtly dance. He must have known the moves by heart, to rise so high, so fast, with such ineptitude. Millions of dragons. Pursing her lips, she left the drink untouched on the table before her, unable to stomach the taste. 

“Millions of dragons that will not soon be forgotten, I’m sure, regardless of who sits on the Iron Throne.” Yet it was too soon to begin fretting over the realm’s finances, not when she had her own armies ( not to mention three dragons of fire and flesh, that grew hungrier by the day ) to feed. Perhaps Casterly Rock would aid them there, if all went according to Tyrion’s plans. Waves crashed upon the tower’s base some hundreds of feet below, counting out the moments that passed. 

Information could be deadlier than any knife, in the right hands. Ser Jorah traded news of her movements, new of her son, to the Usurper’s countil for a whispered promise of home. No matter how many years passed, the betrayal would still cut at her heart. Once for blood and once for gold and once for love. By her count, one betrayal still remained. Folding her hands in her lap, she glanced at last to her hand, answering in a quiet, assured voice.

“Then I suppose we must do what we can to ensure he learns nothing of any great importance. Particularly if the North refuses to support us.” Easier said than done, with the entirety of their party claiming guest right within their halls…though not, she hoped, impossible. Mulling over his words again, Daenerys came to leaps and bounds in the story that felt too wide to cross. “You say he betrayed Ned Stark.” The act alone was no great concern to her; despite how many times men insisted upon Ned Stark’s honor, it never stopped him from crossing his rightful King. “What, then, is Lord Baelish doing with his daughter…?’

             a shrug , and accompanying nods in agreement . the debt will not be forgiven , no , but he is certain his sister has driven far worse . war is never cheap , her majesty already knows this , but if they act on what will cost the least to westeros , they may as well simply stay here and do nothing at all . he has some plans for when the time calls for it , but there are larger issues to concern the queen with for now . that poignant question regarding their new guests for one thing .

     ❛   to be entirely honest i do not know . lord baelish held a great affinity for catelyn stark . one which , by what she told me , went unreciprocated , and i do feel inclined to believe her word given our short amount of time together . i would not exactly peg baelish as the sort to take one of her children under his wing for the pure charity of it however . to be honest i’m not certain littlefinger knows the definition of the word . . .  ❜

            tyrion’s fingers tap against the side of his cup , mulling over the possibilities himself . to his great irritation he truly does not know enough about littlefinger to say anything for certain , but there are patterns that can be surmised for any man from the capital , and especially given his nature .

           ❛   the most obvious answer that comes to mind is power . sansa stark is one of the few living heirs of winterfell . if littlefinger has managed to secure himself a position to manipulate her       possibly even marry her himself after placing her back in the north , it would give him a great deal of options for how he might proceed next . far more so should a pact with the dragon queen be negotiated .  ❜              his eyes narrow at this , piecing together what he can with what little information he has . sansa is smart . she would not be traveling with the mockingbird if she believed it to be more dangerous than not . whether that is because she has been decisively tucked away into his pocket , or by other means , is something he is quite eager to find out himself .

             ❛   i did not learn of his involvement in ned stark’s death until my travels with varys , after the death of joffrey . it is very possible that sansa still does not know . surely littlefinger would not confess to it by his own will .   ❜           which brings an additional concern to the front of his mind , and tyrion sighs  realizing what this actually means for the stark-girl .        ❛   if it is acceptable to you , your grace , i should like to inform sansa of this myself . i feel i owe it to her , given that i am , depressingly , the closest to family she has here .  ❜

[halfclever-blog]

look i’m not going to delve deep into this right now and i still don’t have much thought on shipping tyrion with anyone given how . . . not great his previous romantic ventures have gone , but i’m just gonna toss this out there : i am incapable of writing a straight character okay . i can’t do it , and i’m not doing it now .

[halfclever-blog]

No matter who or what your write it’s always fantastic but I MUST say you have nailed down Tyrion’s dialogue in particular! I can hear his voice so well bc you’ve got such a good grasp of his mannerisms and all the little quirks that make his speech uniquely his. And who knew you had so many witty one liners tbh

how is my portrayal ?

shelby i feel like we just went over this but you are one of my oldest friends in the rpc and i am so honored that you have stuck around with me through every fandom you’ve explored and the few tiny little breaks that toothiana allows me to have from dedicating my entire life to her lol . you’ve always tackled every one of your muses with great finesse , dany included of course , and that honestly makes you one of the people who inspired and encouraged me to tackle a character so different from what i’m used to , so bless your beautiful heart .and still , to this day , i remember that time years ago when you said you read through all of my threats because you found them inspiring , and that might not be the case anymore but it doesn’t matter because knowing someone liked my writing enough to even do that at some point has always been an inspiration all its own .anyways i’m glad you think i’ve got his voice down okay , it’s one of the things that really defines his character so I’m still pretty anxious about figuring it out but I think it’s getting easier as I practice . as for the witty one liners , honestly i was born for this sort of bad humor and tacky sarcasm it’s all i know how to do myself . i just make it more crude and wa-la .

“I’ve forgiven what I can, Lord Tyrion, as far as you’re concerned. I recognise our… arrangement caused you some indignity as well, but I sincerely hope you understand that I’ll not apologise for being a difficult child bride.” she smiles lightly, eyes like ice; even so, the sentiment is genuine. 

That he constructs the opportunity for a private meeting ( or rather, as isolated as their mutual circumstances would allow ), comes as no surprise. Tyrion’s always been clever, though there’s a touch of earnestness to his machinations that Littlefinger sorely lacks. It’s a difference that comes as something of a small comfort to Sansa, despite her present standing in opposition to him. Though it’s more difficult than she anticipates, seeing him once again. Despite the rare kindness he’d extended to her so long ago, and the very same tentative sort he extends to her now as he fixes her with that imperceptible gaze ( Does he worry about what has befallen me, she thinks, or what I might do? ), she cannot stop herself from associating him with the horror of King’s Landing. Against the ache in her heart, her smile broadens prettily, vaguely reminiscent of the way one might consider a wolf pretty,  “The other members of your house, however, will put paid to that saying of yours  — ‘A Lannister Always Pays His Debts’, one way or the other. I very much intend to collect.” 

He’s quick to get to the heart of the matter, she notices as her fingers lace together, hands clasped demurely in front of her while she weighs the meaning behind his words. Tyrion’s question is plain, but not altogether something she can easily answer. 

“Perhaps Lord Baelish is to some, but I’ve experienced no difficulty in having hold of him.” Quite the opposite, really. Her visage remains placid, carefully composed into something that resembles self satisfaction. As if keeping Littlefinger’s attention is an accomplishment. She supposes it is, in some twisted way, but it doesn’t keep her stomach from turning. Outside, Sansa chuckles, soft and light like the bells she’s so fond of playing. Her smile never quite reaches her eyes. She treads with care, almost his mirror, but allows for a silent urging behind the sunlit sea of her eyes, meeting his gaze unyielding.

“ — Do you trust me?”

           ‘ lord ’ tyrion . it truly does not feel right coming from her . what does he want instead ? beloved husband ?? no , that would be far , far worse . rather , in some way he cannot quite piece together ,  he does not think he deserves to be given such honorifics from one who has suffered so directly as much as she has from those surrounding with power . he does not deserve it . nobody does , it seems , as far as he can think to himself . no one has as much a right to call all others in the world dogshit , than lady sansa stark of winterfell .

      ❛   i suppose that is more than i can rightfully hope for . but i will have you know that none could have asked for a better child-bride , though that is partly because I rather think any who ask for one at all ought to be fed their own tongue . pity i could not convince joffrey to pass such a law before he had the audacity to die at his own wedding .  ❜          it is tempting to ask her if she played a part ; if she left him behind to take the fall for it . it would certainly not be beyond her intelligence , and he does not think he could truly blame her if she had given       as she says        all the lannister name owes her . but the more he thinks on it , especially seeing her in person once again , the less it feels like the right fit . he has always liked to think himself a good judge of character , and while the past year or so has brought up plenty to challenge that , he trusts it now . sansa stark would have certainly ended joffrey’s life had she the opportunity to do it , and she likely would have easily sacrificed his own life to do it , but the means had not been offered to her in any manner that would not have been discovered far sooner than it occurred . her friends in the capital were too few . if anything , given the current situation of him apparently having taken her under his wing , he is more inclined to look towards littlefinger , but perhaps that is something that will be uncovered in the time to come if what she is saying means what it appears to .

          because that smile speaks volumes . sure , what they had between them was not love . it may not have even been affection . but he did learn some things about her ; he had made her laugh and seen the rarest instances of earnest joy that any could be so lucky to see from her in the south . he had also seen the smile she would wear to stay safe , of knowing what others believed she did not . and this is far closer to that .

        it ushers , almost , a smile from him in kind . the thought of baelish being wrapped around someone else’s finger , the finger of a young woman at that , gives him a dark satisfaction that he would find for few others . but more than such , it tells him that sansa stark is not only surviving , she is playing a dangerous game and winning . and that spells good not only for this potential alliance , but simply for her . and he would hope for nothing more .      tyrion dips his head a single time in a subtle nod of pure affirmation , and says at last .      ❛   So long as your interests align well enough with that of her Grace , I trust you hold a strong idea of what’s best for all of us , Lady Sansa .  ❜

              SAD BEAR WHO NEEDS TO LEARN TO TAKE A JOKE.

Jorah looked at Tyrion as he spoke, his face closed off and stoic as always. He was a Mormont, that’s the only way they looked. There might have been an occasional smile, but rarely, and only with the right people. And so far, Tyrion Lannister was not one of those people. His eyes narrowed when he mentioned the Queen, already feeling defensive. He was always on the defensive when it came to Daenerys; just as often as he was stoic as a Mormont. 

Instead he just ground his teeth together, the muscles jumping in his jaw as he sighed through his nose. “Good thing opinions aren’t always meant to be agreed with. If they were…I’d have taken off your head the moment I saw you and brought that back to our Queen…That was the majority of the opinions at the time.” The dwarf’s head for gold, and probably more from the Queen. Even if the Queen that was asking for his head was Cersei. 

“I’ll gladly continue to threaten to kill you, if it makes you feel at ease,” he grumbled back. “As for your respect on my opinions, I don’t care much about that either,” he shrugged. “Your respect here is as much as my respect in the Seven Kingdoms.”

               a wry , sarcastic smile is offered in turn .

         ❛   has anyone ever told you , it is your warmth and charm that makes you so fun to talk to ?  ❜         his fingers rise to the bridge of what’s left of his nose . he is stubborn , there is no doubt about it , but he also is quick to realize when an approach is going to have few results . 

               ❛   look , i am trying         this is an olive branch !! do you know what that means ?? i am trying to make peace .  ❜

           jorah is all too eager for the prospect of tyrion’s death for it to be offered as some hilarious prospect for the time being . fine . maybe they aren’t the closest brothers on this side of the world . but mormont’s interest in what daenerys wants is as easy to read as his pining for her , and that requires no stretched truths on the dwarf’s part to offer instead .

               ❛   it's what her majesty wants from us . you are one of her most trusted friends and i am her hand . it makes sense for us to at least be able to exchange ideas that aren’t entirely based on threats to kill me , don’t you think ?  ❜

             A VERY INTERESTING SNAKE , INTERESTED IN HIS SNAKE .

@halfclever- Oberyn and Tyrion

He watched at the imp walked through the door and sighed.  A Lannister.  There were very few people that he hated more in the world then the family of the lion.  They’d taken the most precious person away from him, his beloved sister and her tiny children. 

Picking up the goblet of wine, Oberyn took a long drink, his eyes never leaving Tyrion.  After a few more sips, he motioned for the man to take a seat in front of him.  His servant walked in as he pulled her into his lap whispering something in her ear.  Her cheeks flushed as a giggle escaped her lips and she stood.  

Slapping her on the ass, he chuckled. “So I see the little lion has come to talk to me.  Wine, I think we need more wine. I’ve heard you’re quite the drinker, less serious and enjoying the finer things that the Lannister gold can buy you.  Is this true?  I would hate that rumors of the Little Lion with a cock the size of a man triple his size is falsehoods.  I do enjoy the stories of your exploits. Please, come tell me something interesting.”

              it makes for quite a few surprises in the short few moments he’s been in the prince’s company this evening . he’s never quite confident that he can enter the same room without meeting the sharp end of a blade as far as oberyn is concerned , and he still isn’t , but an invitation to make himself comfortable at least makes for a more desirable position to die in .          so the seat is taken as offered , and tyrion runs his hands across the table as though admiring its surface . it slightly dulls the awkwardness of the openly flirtatious display across from him , though in comparison to most , tyrion has little trouble ignoring it anyways .

          ❛   i am sorry to say most of my exploiting days are over . i am a married man now , as you may have heard ,  ❜  he explains , well aware that the correlations between those two pieces of information are not entirely relevant to prince oberyn’s lifestyle , but presenting them as justification all the same .❛    and i would hate to deprive my beloved wife the satisfaction of expressing no interest in me by finding others who do .  ❜ 

           sansa , surely , could not care less of how he spends his leisure time , but it makes for a worthy facade ; he cannot exactly go around claiming devotion to his wife’s handmaiden , but at the very least marriage provides fine explanation for why the once-infamous adulterer has little interest in spending his coin in brothels these days .

     ❛   but      !! the size of both my cock , and my appetite for wine , i’m happy to say will never be tamed . so , you wish to know something interesting ? how’s this then . . .  ❜                tyrion reaches forward in what makes for a rather bold move , grabbing a goblet for his own use , and the pitcher which he can use to fill it , and then gesturing towards oberyn as though offering toast .

    ❛   a game : make a statement about my past , and if you’re right i drink . if you’re wrong , you drink , and then i do the same for you . sound good ?   ❜

[halfclever-blog]

              THE WOLF IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING .

           such a rare occasion it has already proven to be : when baelish is willing to leave her side long enough to have an actual conversation . he knows better than to squander it , certainly , and so when he is finally able to garner her permission to speak in some manner of privacy , there is no time wasted in finding the space , and small handful of trusted attendants (   more in the interest of the stark-child’s comfort than any need for their assistance   ) to accompany . his immediate priority is clear given the exchange made between them just moments ago .

       ❛   sansa you know i had nearly as little say on our marriage as you did . resent me as you wish , but at least know i never meant to cause you more pain . my family had already seen to it that you suffered more than enough for an entire life time by the time one could even claim you were more than a girl , and i am truly sorry for it .  ❜          and while tyrion would be willing to dedicate this entire meeting to apologies , as he knows few who would deserve them more , there is another matter more important than his pride , which he has always been willing to push aside when necessary .        ❛   but surely you also know who it is that’s accompanied you here . petyr baelish has never been a . . . an easy friend to have hold of .   ❜  careful steps , careful words . the sansa he knew was cleverer than most gave her credit for , but the littlefinger he knew wrapped even the most cunning lords around his finger with ease , and he is not ready to die for a hope against all hope that she is any different .  ❛   i need to know : do you trust him ?   ❜

                 ► @songtouch the sound of me not procrastinating finally .
