you have no idea how often i think about thoros refusing to kiss catelyn. you have no idea how often i think about the first last kiss thoros gives beric, a kiss that didnāt serve any purpose at all save to say i love you. thoros not being able to let beric go and resurrecting him again and again, against his will, until it becomes a kiss more akin to violence than to love. i canāt get the image of thoros taking bericās body out of sight to kiss him where no one else could see after sandorās trial by combat. their overarching story is not subtle in how it mirrors frankensteinās but itās also leans very heavily on the ātrue loveās kissā element. itās one of the most openly queer relationships in asoiaf and people donātā¦ talk about it. thoros had given others the last kiss ābut never before had I felt a dead man shudder as the fire filled him, nor seen his eyes come openā. thatās snow white. thatās the sleeping beauty. thatās a love story.
the main and frankly only reason thoros hasnāt given up on the brotherhood despite understanding that the path lady stoneheart treks is a treacherous one is because of beric. because thoros refused him and beric paid the price. lady stoneheart is beric dondarrionās ghost, too, in more ways than one.
