❝ That is the only time a man can be brave, ❞ his father told him.

Ned Stark, Lord of Winterfell

Ngl, I think those of you in the GoT fandom who say they'd like to live in King's Landing or Winterfell or wherever else are CRAZY. If it were me, I'd fuck off to Dorne immediately, no questions asked.

What the fuck happened to fandoms? Back in my day (when I was 9) you would say " I like this character" and only the most annoying members would go "but they killed people!", "They raped their sister!", yada yada and the answer would be "yeah i don't care, I like this character because it did evil things" but now when someone is confronted with "your fav did awful things" they respond with "but but but they had a traumatic past so their actions are okay!"

What I've learned from listening to true crime podcasts, and what I think a lot of you need to remember, is that someone's past doesn't justify their actions, it explains them

So if you're gonna love a character regardless of how shitty they are, accept them for who they are, with their flaws and their crimes

Going from the dsmp to game of thrones is actually insane if ya think about it...

[krittec]

I need a portion of the HoTD fandom to sit down and stop being so overtly horrible towards actors and actresses simply doing their job and getting into the minds of their characters to do a better job, then being berated by people because it doesn’t fit their personal understanding of a character that they don’t play or spend elongated time in the mind of.

This goes extra for the women of the show because I’m sick of seeing ‘Cunt’ and ‘Bitch’ being thrown around because someone explained how the character they play saw a situation, or saw themselves in that moment because it’s always a vital way to play a character or give insight.

Some of y’all are no better than some of the characters in this show. It is a fictional TV show at the end of the day, take a damn walk if you feel the need to harass someone for no good reason.

“She loved the sea. She liked the sharp salty smell of the air, and the vastness of the horizons bounded only by a vault of azure sky above. It made her feel small, but free as well.”― George R.R. Martin, A Storm of Swords

Jon Snow & Sansa Stark Book Parallels & Mentions 46/∞ : Lost innocence

They are children, Sansa thought. They are silly little girls, even Elinor. They've never seen a battle, they've never seen a man die, they know nothing. Their dreams were full of songs and stories, the way hers had been before Joffrey cut her father's head off. Sansa pitied them. Sansa envied them. A Storm Of Swords, Sansa II

No, Jon might have said, Gerrick is descended from a younger brother of Raymun Redbeard. To the free folk that counted about as much as being descended from Raymun Redbeard's horse. They know nothing, Ygritte. And worse, they will not learn. A Dance With Dragons, Jon XIII
