birth year of ASOIAF characters if AGOT took place in 2025:

a lot of the characters in ASOIAF were aged up for the show (with good reason in a lot of cases) but one thing that always strikes me about the books is how YOUNG most of them are.

so here are what their birth years would be if the books started in 2025 (pretend their birthday this year already happened).

this based on ages in AGOT- if we meet the character later I added a year or so depending on the book (also I split groups by decades for ease of reading).

Aemon: 1926

Tywin: 1970

Jorah: 1985

Davos (if ACOK is 2026) and Oberyn (if ASOS is 2026): 1986

Robert Baratheon: 1989

Ned: 1990

Stannis: 1991

Catelyn: 1992

Jaime, Cersei, and Lysa: 1994

Drogo: 1995

Littlefinger: 1996

Sandor: 1998

Tyrion: 2001

Viserys and Renly: 2004

Theon: 2006

Shae and Brienne (if ACOK is 2026): 2007

Loras: 2009

Jon, Robb, Samwell, and Margaery: 2011

Daenerys, Joffrey, and Meera (if ACOK is 2026): 2012

Sansa: 2014

Jojun (if ACOK is 2026): 2015

Arya: 2016

Bran and Myrcella: 2018

Tommon: 2019

Robert Arryn: 2020

Rickon: 2023

please comment if I got anything wrong/forgot anyone! (characters whose ages are too ambiguous I didn't include)

cersei at the great sept of baelor

it came to her suddenly that she had stood in this very spot before, on the day lord eddard stark had lost his head. that was not supposed to happen. joff was supposed to spare his life and send him to the wall. [...] the memories seemed so distant. joffrey was dead, and all stark’s sons as well. even her father had perished. and here she stood on the steps of the great sept again, only this time it was her the mob was staring at, not eddard stark.

The "Sansa reminds Sandor of his sister" motive that some people try to hitch to his character really just flies in the face of his actual attachments to her, doesn't it? Sansa reminds Sandor of himself. He sees the little boy who used to love knights in this girl who's been swept up by the same romanticism. He sees his abuser in her abusers, the much larger knight(s) beating on the helpless child. He sees how she is betrayed by every level of authority that should have saved her and remembers his father's neglect and Tywin and Robert's apathy for Gregor's crimes. He's protective of Sansa because he was Sansa.

And GRRM's design, that one of the strongest warriors in the series, a fearsome and cynical 6'8" guy who's "muscled like a bull" and has the face of death itself, sees himself in this soft and effeminate teen girl, and empathizes with her because he was an abuse victim too, is INFINITELY more compelling than "Oh yeah I bet she just reminds him of his sister," who he's never mentioned and who we know literally nothing about. Way to unnecessarily water down a character, you couldn't have ignored the black and white text more efficiently if you tried.

i hate the idea of sansa ending up as this cold ice queen when through out the books one of her defining characteristics has been kindness. kindness to dontos when joffrey wanted him executed, kindness to the woman with the baby during the riot, kindness to an injured lancel despite cersei's words, kindness through warning margaery of the type of person joffrey is, kindness to sandor clegane and sweetrobin in the vale. sansa even says that once she was queen, she'd wish to rule with kindness when cersei encourages her to rule with fear during the battle of the blackwater. i cant imagine a world where grrm would genuinely go with the idea that only once you refuse love and warmth can you rule

He is no true knight, but he saved me all the same.

Sandor and Sansa from A Song of Ice and Fire. I didn't think I would ever draw fanart for this fandom again, until I heard my partner muttering to himself, "I guess black captain of the guard is just the medieval version of the black police chief trope. 'All knights are bastards'... Hey, the acronym even still works..." The moment I heard "All knights are bastards," I immediately thought of Sandor, and this idea came to me.
