#though to be fair i think this characterization for criston is actually intentional

tbh I think my visceral dislike for Criston Cole goes beyond him being an unlikeable piece of shit but rather that his presence in my tv triggers an everpresent but usually dormant form of Show!Jon Snow PTSD where there’s a man on my screen who is consistently incompetent at his job yet somehow ends up being promoted at every turn and without question. also he’s the direct cause of a Targaryen woman’s life being ruined.
