#makes sense if the ‘f&b titles are the clues’ theory is true that d&d would have just thrown some of bran’s regents at jon and dany

LISTEN bran needs at least one person who can be called a responsible adult, however loosely we define that (i mean davos kinda gets his kid killed and he’s off on a doomed war neglecting his family so you win some you lose some) and WHOMST else is gonna fill that role? TYRION?? BARRISTAN???? ILYN PAYNE???? nah, it’s gonna be davos shooing the small council away bc “his grace has yet to finish his vegetables and he’s a growing boy” and making sure bran gets his 8 hours of sleep. the only other responsible adult is brienne but she is going to be too busy making sure creepy old dudes stop hitting on sansa to check in on bran so davos is the next best thing.

I wonder if the loyalty of Davos to Stannis is the same loyalty we saw in Tyri0n with D@ny in GoT?

Our dear Sansa realised when hearing him talk about how good and great D@ny was for the realm, that Tyri0n was doing what Sansa did in KL in the first year of captivity: avoid thinking in the bad for her own sake and talk carefully with everyone.

Ofc, Davos, Sansa and Tyri0n are different from each other (and book!Tyri0n will be different from series!Tyri0n) but when reading Davos's Pov reminds me of Sansa's. He is telling himself that Stannis is the king the realm needs. Maybe at first he believed it, and for years he followed a strict but "just" man (remember, Davos went from a contrabandist to a knight, Stannis offered him a chance to be "better") and when he thought otherwise he decided to forget it (can't remember right now the name, but is a defensive mechanism in the mind for everyone).

Now Davos is dealing with the Red Good and the pyromaniac witch that is literally a red flag walking and just now Davos is "hmmmm. maybe Stannis is not the one" but what can he do? If he ran away, he will be an outlaw from whatever side of the war. His only hope would be use black clothes and join Jon's fight... but maybe he will do it without so much dark in his clothing.

He has the motive (sort of) to join Jon in his campaign if he manages to save Rickon, and Stannis will be already dead, so we may see a Davos like the series. At least they will surely cross paths (I'm taking a 60% chance)

He is a good "for the love of whatever god you believe, not join the Mother of Firebreathing Dragons, if you would, please?" man. He may be more against D@ny than Jon and his own issues with fire. He will be a good messenger for other lords from the south to join the Team We Just Want To Live, without fire, thank you.

What do you think?

Apologies for the delay in getting back to you, anon. I think those are all reasonable conclusions.

I have to say, I do think Davos remains a staunch supporter of Stannis, at least for now. I might be mistaken, but I don't recall any significant internal opposition in ADWD. He continues to attribute everything bad to Melisandre's influence.

Davos is definitely a logical choice to oppose Daenerys, especially if she has the backing of Camp R'hllor, but it's hard for me to envision him having significant influence in northern politics.

Admittedly, I have a difficult time predicting his story beyond Shireen's death. I remember getting the feeling on more than one occasion that his plot was somehow converging with Bran's (not Jon's), but that wasn't really based on anything.

Gosh, I wish I had more to say. I'm sorry! Davos is a hard one. I can't even decide if the dude will live or die. Lol
