'I was just wondering about the meaning of the word shouted at me as we were on our way down here. Would you be so kind?' 'Er... if I...' 'I believe it was... let me see now... oh yes ... towelhead.' The Prince's eyes stayed locked on Vime's face. Vimes was conscious of his own thoughts moving very fast, and they seemed to reach their own decision. We'll explain later, they said. You're too tired for explanations. Right now, with this man, it's oh so much better to be honest... 'It... refers to your headdress,' he said. 'Oh. It is some kind of obscure joke?' Of course he knows, thought Vimes. And he knows I know... 'No. It's an insult,' he said eventually. 'Ah? Well, we certainly cannot be held responsible for the ramblings of idiots, commander.' The Prince flashed a smile. 'I must commend you, incidentally.' 'I'm sorry?' 'For your breadth of knowledge. I must have asked a dozen people that question this morning and, do you know? Not one of them knew what it meant. And they all seemed to have a cough.'

I am not going to liveblog my reread of game of thrones but I do think it’s very funny that Robert is like “can’t stand my brother Stannis bc he’s a rigid uptight prude with no sense of humor. Anyway time to hang out with my bestie Ned Stark”

Genuinely 90% of historical fiction would be so much better if more writers could get more comfortable with the fact that to create a good story set in a different time period you do actually have to give the characters beliefs & values which reflect that time period
