Dragonstone loomed larger with every stroke of the oars. Davos could see the shape of the mountain now, and on its side the great black citadel with its gargoyles and dragon towers. -- Davos II, ASOS

I am a knight of sorts myself, sweet ser. A champion of light and life

on a second thought tyrion was absolutely in his lannister delusions when he thought sansa's enmity towards him were because he was ugly. although it's not disclosed explicitly, sansa is not afraid or disgusted by deformities anymore(thank you, sandor). sansa did not like tyrion because she was afraid he'd catch her plan, and he was a lannister. imp, hated and seen as a monster or not, he was always a lannister and she was always one of the captives of his house. tyrion was so in his head about being unwanted and unloved that he completely missed "oh i'm her captor" explanation

I am literally one page into A Storm of Swords and Chett is a goddamn fucking moron if he thinks that he would have been safe at home if Samwell Tarly hadn't taken his job, because guess who is also on this Beyond the Wall work trip? That's right! Samwell fucking Tarly! Dumbass.

funniest cat moment of all time is when robb shows up married and is like "oh yeah the weirdest thing happened my soul dog didnt like her uncle" and cat who has been in soft prison for weeks is like like "robb PLEASE kill that man without trial! and never forget to take your soul dog with you again...."

Jaime deciding to become more involved in Tommen’s life is so funny because his three instincts are:

• teach this 8 year old to learn how to dissociate from unimaginable trauma

• plan to separate Tommen from his mother and fill the small council with allies of his own which should be easy because he knows Tommen’s favourite hobby (stamping his royal seal into hot wax)

• scrap all this and run to the Riverlands with Brienne. sorry Tommen

BOOK!DAENERYS TARGARYEN SCENES || Daenerys Targaryen rejecting Jorah Mormont

“Will Jorah ever get out of the friendzone?” (side-eyeing the person who asked this). GRRM: “I would not bet on it.” (source)

Maybe the reason Sansa comes off as a meek doormat while she’s married to Tyrion is not because she’s a red pilled tradwife, it’s because she’s scared of getting caught for planning her own escape. It’s established within the first few paragraphs of Tyrion’s pov after the wedding that that’s a terrified 12 year old prisoner of war child bride who’s fooling a whole, grown husband and the entire red keep that she’s a little too devotional and absolutely not plotting her freedom in a fortress full of spies, soldiers and noble powerhouses, that too successfully. She’s not concerned that Tyrion’s peas are overcooked, she’s deliberately trying to put up an act so that her cover isn’t blown. She’s outsmarted Tyrion Lannister of all people, and you can die mad about it.

Ser Jaime?" Even in soiled pink satin and torn lace, Brienne looked more like a man in a gown than a proper woman."I am grateful, but ... you were well away. Why come back?"

A dozen quips came to mind, each crueler than the one before, but Jaime only shrugged. "I dreamed of you," he said.

[polysucks]

she really just like me fr fr

Sansa stark, everyone [crowd goes fuckin crazy]

[twinge-of-cosmicangst]

I’m reading the three musketeers and found out that Brienne is a medieval French country and guess what the coat of arms was for the ‘Counts of Brienne’ was, a fricking lion!

This can’t be just a coincidence right?? George is subtly hinting that Brienne will marry Jaime, I mean the background is blue, it’s like a combo of their two houses!

i was kinda joking about the asos grooming olympics but it really is: sansa gets turned into alayne. next chapter jon faces consequences for sleeping with ygritte. next chapter dany is unreasonably mad at jorah for some reason she can't put her finger on hmmmmm what could it be..... i went to victim island and everyone there had a pov in a storm of swords

jaime returning to king’s landing in ASOS after the painful aerys-trauma-induced catharsis of the harrenhal baths only to return to his siblings Tyrion ‘set the blackwater ablaze’ Lannister and Cersei ‘let’s blow up the red keep’ Lannister. his life is so tragically hilarious

GET HIS ASS DAVOS

[book-daenerys]

Daenerys Targaryen + book quotes and statements by GRRM that show that she has all the characteristics that (according to her creator) define a good king (in/s/p.)

GRRM at the “House of the Dragon” Comic-Con panel: A good king is someone who regards being king as a duty rather than a privilege that they are entitled to. A duty to the realm to dispense justice and peace, and occasionally do boring things like building roads and sanitation in King’s Landing and all that.

~

GRRM on which of his characters would be suitable leaders in modern times: You know, probably Tyrion. [...] Dany would also be an interesting choice if we could bring her dragons along. The recent American election [of 2016] might have turned out very different if Hillary Clinton had dragons. [as the linked meta above shows, GRRM's decision to mention Dany - especially when he could have chosen to name so many other characters - alongside Tyrion (who he deems the most suitable leader) highlights her portrayal as a good ruler and acknowledges that, with the right person, dragons can be used for good.]

~

GRRM to History of Westeros: I mean, it’s… you know, I had a lot of input in the beginning of Game of Thrones, partly cause I had these books out there. Um, but at a certain point, as the show went on, I, I found I had less and less influence uh, until by the end, I really didn’t even know what, what was going on. I, I… Some of these things I watched like everybody else, and ‘oh, okay.'

I don’t think enough people talk about this moment in a storm of swords

Like bran and Arya basically jumping Sansa, Sansa chasing Arya, her slipping, Arya coming back to make sure she was okay, and than Sansa getting her revenge 🥹🥹 god please bring my family back together again
