Every Time A Targaryen Is Born The Gods Go Yayyyyy

The concept of modern AU Jaime Lannister is too absurd to exist with any fidelity. What if LeBron James killed the president and then kept on hooping for fifteen years?

i think its a little underappreciated that grrm allows his main characters to be disabled and hurt. tyrion's dwarfism and bran's paralysis are obvious but also dany's infertility?? jon's pains and scarring after he burns his hand fighting the Others?? ned's broken leg plagues him for months and the scars on cat's palms consistently ache and phantom pains haunt jaime through out asos and the arrow brienne took to her leg does actual harm instead of just leaving a neat scar and when biter chews off brienne's cheek she's visibly disfigured afterwards. theres no brushing over any of their injuries and all of them are consistently affecting them even after they heal. or don't heal. lady stoneheart and beric dondarrion carry their injuries even after they die. the gashes on stoneheart's face stay even when she comes back and beric never regains his eye. dany stays infertile thats not something that can be reversed. the same way tyrion's injuries after the battle of the blackwater cant be reversed and jon's scars can't be erased bc at the end of the day when ur disabled theres no cure for that. u just have to Deal with it no matter how difficult it is and i think its nice when fictional characters still find a way to push through it the same way we do

GRRM is in fact really good at making up top tier characters i will use the starklings to illustrate the point okay you got: 1) high school freshman King Arthur stars in a shakespearean tragedy, as told by his mom; 2) local moody teenaged Starbucks night shift manager must do his very best to stop the zombie apocalypse through the power of friendship; 3) a middle schooler who keeps her sparkly butterfly gel pens in perfect rainbow order at all times is being held hostage by her evil middle school boyfriend and his evil blonde mafia family; 4) a scrappy but poorly-supervised middle-grade book protagonist bops about a war-zone looking for her family but instead! learns about Death; 5) paraplegic fourth grader Frodo Baggins receives mystical visions and must go on a quest to see a hundred-year-old tree guy; and 6) kindergartener that Bites

what if your FATHER had the soul of a FOREST NYMPH and your MOTHER had the soul of a SJW BUTCH JOCK and YOU ended up with the soul of a FAST FOOD CHAIN MANAGER but you were TRAPPED in a high fantasy story and YOUR NAME was JON SNOW

One thing about Jaime Lannister is he will see someone going through a traumatic situation and be like 'have you tried dissociating? c'mon let's dissociate together' and genuinely think he is helping

what the asoiaf book fandom has become in response to a several-years-long hiatus should be studied in the annals of history probably. beloved youtubers are ranking all named horses, there’s speculation that tyrek lannister turned into a horse, a fascinating number of people have circled back to thinking ashara dayne actually is jon’s mom, there’s the tyrion time traveling fetus theory, the varys mermaid theory, the gender theories, TOO many people are debating which preteen girl is the most evil, and reddit is still convinced that stannis baratheon is the pinnacle of straight masculinity.

petyr never getting over the fact that catelyn wouldn't be his cathy, in fact the class difference being so insurmountable that years later even master of coin lord baelish wasn't deemed a good enough of a match for catelyn's daughter (cersei reveals he proposed marriage with sansa in agot after ned's arrest, got denied) and this haunts him to such an extent that the first thing he does to sansa once he has her is turn her into a bastard. he claims the whole plot with harry hardyng, sweetrobin and the knights of the vale is about securing the vale and the north but there's the audience expectation that he will be getting rid of harry first thing once sansa has his heir, so the whole scheme for him is also very much about recreating the circumstances of the petyr - catelyn - brandon duel. and this time he's making certain sansa as catelyn will pick littlefinger over harry as brandon.
