You have a choice, my friend. You can stay here at Illyrio's palace and drink yourself to death, or you can ride with me to Meereen, meet Daenerys Targaryen, and decide if the world is worth fighting for.

An unequal marriage in Westeros.

its fun that when illyrio is telling tyrion his own dubiously true backstory and says he and varys were kids together in pentos the second tyrion says ‘but varys said he was from myr?’ illyrio is like oh rightt yes this was after varys came from myr :) of course. their lifelong agreement to yes-and each others lies without question is why no one in the world can run a long con like them

GAME OF THRONES Season 8 Episode 5 - "The Bells"

Fan: How would you describe Littlefinger and Varys’ relationship?

George: Adversarial! Both of them know a lot about the other, including some very damaging things. They're essentially in a stalemate because they know that if one reveals what they know about the other, the other would reciprocate, and then they could both be destroyed. I think Littlefinger has a better idea of what Varys wants than Varys has an idea of what Littlefinger wants. Littlefinger is an agent of chaos who likes to be unpredictable and succeeds in that.

Why do you think Varys considered Kevan a good man? Kevan was Tywin’s right hand man and never objected to any of his atrocities and in fact gave the orders in some cases for those atrocities to be carried out.

What I think Varys sees in Kevan is real love and real loyalty. Not without reason, either. Whatever doubts and grievances Kevan had with Tywin, before and after his death, whatever mistreatment he and his family received from Tywin's children, Kevan was still there for them. With boundaries, but he was there when he was called. Those would be some real virtues...were it not for the fact that the love and loyalty were for Tywin freakin' Lannister. The fraternal version of "the things I do for love," basically.

The flip side, however... what does Varys' admiration for Tywin's right hand man who not only didn't object to Tywin's atrocities but helped to implement them say about Varys?

The man who's fine with the exploitation of his "little birds" in the name of making a better world "for the children" is perhaps not the best judge of what a good man is.

Arya, after outspying accidentally the master of whisper at age 9 and hiding under the nose of Roose Bolton at age 10:

[barelyanartblog]

Say what you will but at least Cersei and Tyrion have never sunk low enough to try to kill each other.... yet

[glussy]

when Tyrion comes into Varys room to fuck Shae and instead is met with Varys in full drag with a curly brown wig, dress, and beat face and saying "Is something amiss?" like asoiaf is a comedy

[motorway-south]

littlefinger and varys as they exist in agot are so funny. what if you went to the capitol to advise the king but to get anything done you had to battle two gay guys?

[knightsickness]

ned narration in kings landing is always like varys’ powdered perfumed face smiled eunuchly
