Karstark Spearmen

"Scratch a Karstark, and a Stark bleeds." - Ramsey Bolton

Friends in Love (Not with each Other) starter for @benjen-mormont

1. Tyrion calling Brienne out for being a virgin in that dumbass drinking game is a high level stupid from douche and dipshit, not just because you literally have to be a virgin as a high born woman in a world like Westeros, you can barely get married if you’re not. But that’s not the biggest problem, it’s that the ‘’virgin’’ thing was actually a major plot point in the story before and it had a major impact on it. What did Cersei use trying to set Margaery up? Yep, her not being a virgin, after claiming so when she was supposed to marry Tommen. The whole plot with the Faith and the High Sparrow ended up a consequence of Cersei trying to frame Margaery for “not being a virgin”. Which in turn got Cersei her own imprisonment and trial, which then set the events that led to her blowing up the sept, killing the Tyrells and Kevan, getting rid of the Faith and Tommen’s suicide. But that’s not important at all, is it?

2. Jaime listing all of his bad deeds to Brienne. But there are no deeds on that list she doesn’t already know about, so why bother? She knows about Cersei, she knows what he did while being a Stark prisoner and what seemed to be presented as his worst choice, pushing Bran out the window. But she knows about Bran too, doesn’t she? When he tried to escape back in season 2 and was brought back to face Catelyn, she said it, in front of all the people present, Brienne one of them, she called him out for pushing Bran and Brienne was there to hear it. So, she knows about it. There is no bad deed of his she doesn’t know about, which means that idiotic scene makes no fucking sense, just like everything else. 

3. Following the second point, “I strangled my own cousin with a chain”. Nope Jaime, AMNESIA. You didn’t strangle your cousin, you beat him to death with a rock, you strangled a Karstark. While some people think this is a detail that is barely important, we, who actually appreciate decent storytelling and remember what events brought what consequences with them, know this one barely important detail is actually very important. And why is that? Well, Jaime strangled a Karstark with his chains to escape, which then led to Lord Karstark demanding justice and Jaime’s death from Robb, Robb refusing, Lord Karstark killing two Lannister boys, Robb sentencing Karstark to death, executing him. All of this led to Karstarks betraying the Starks in season 6 and siding with Ramsey, which then after led to them capturing Rickon, Osha and Shaggydog, which then led to Rickon’s death by Ramsey’s hand and the whole Battle of the Bastards. But it didn’t matter if Jaime got AMNESIA and it wasn’t important if he killed his cousin with a rock or a chain, right?

4. In season 6 episode 9, Tyrion tells Daenerys why Jaime killed her father. If you don’t remember, go check it, it’s when Dany returns and wants to do her usual and burn shit down in Meereen. Still, as soon as she sees Jaime in 8x02 she wants to take his head off. So it’s either “she kinda forgot”, or she’s just a crazy bitch alike her idiotic father and she doesn’t care. 

5. It takes one person at least a month to get from Winterfell to King’s Landing, and Jon, Dany and the rest of the army of thousands managed to get to KL, lose a dragon and a fleet, negotiate with Cersei, get Missandei killed, execute Varys and get the raven back to Winterfell in just 24 hours. Isn’t that magical? Because that’s how it looks like. They tried to paint Jaime and Brienne as a one night stand, so it means all that happened in KL happened in a single day. Way to go, what a great usage of time. I mean, he’s still in her room and was in her bed after the raven came, so it means it even happened in less than 24 hours. Damn, that’s quick. 

6. Bronn came, in that idiotic scene, and said Cersei’s done, she doesn’t have a chance. That’s when Jaime packs his things and goes to her rescue. No, wait, he doesn’t, he literally gives more fuck about Tyrion offering Bronn Highgarden than Cersei’s life, he’s like “who cares, let’s keep drinking brother and make bad dwarf and giant jokes”. Dany loses a dragon, is going crazy, it looks like Cersei might actually win. Jaime: wow, it’s time I go rescue Cersei from certain death, I should go now, it’s such a right timing”.

7. Tyrion: “You’re happy with Brienne Jaime, it’s the first time I actually see you happy. I’m happy that’s you’re happy” 

Also Tyrion, 12 seconds later: “Dear brother, you’re the only reason I even survived my childhood, you’re the only one that ever loved me, so here, I’m gonna help you go kill yourself 12 seconds after I said I was happy that you’re happy with a woman you love and who loves you far away from this dumpster fire. Love you bro.” Brienne stopped existing in this moment, she never existed, AMNESIA. 

8. 8x03, before the charge of the Dothraki, they had zero weapons that could kill the dead. Melisadre came and lit their arakhs on fire, but they were preparing to charge without her fire, no dragon glass, no Valyrian steel. Even with the fire, it’s so utterly idiotic, cause before a whight burns completely, it can kill a couple of them in the process. They tortured themselves trying to light the trenches, yet, there was Jon, standing with Rhaegal just next to the fucking trench.
