Clarifications: I think that Tyrion going to Essos is a huge waste of his character I wanted him scurrying inside the walls for six chapters straight before he got out of King's Landing I wanted him actually seething and raging and brought low without anyone to wit at for days before he got to escape and I don't want him at Dany's side. I think that Tyrion joining Dany is a huge waste of the character and think that him joining the Arianne plot and meeting up with Griff through it would've been vastly preferred tbh. Also I used to like his wit, then started to hate him because of his arrogance, and then went back to sort of understanding but still getting bad vibes from him - he's a very complex character and I don't like the mindset he has in his PoVs, doubly so in Dance but even before.

Regarding Theon, I actually... Never really liked him very much before my second re-read of the Reek chapters in Dance, and then I just. I dunno. He's everything he's nothing he's a little brother he's a big brother he's this big full character of contradictions and weirdness and he's constantly being pulled apart at the seams and *that's* what's most fascinating to me about him, rather than what most fandom seems to think. To me, what's compelling about Theon is that he's stretched thin with half a dozen identities and half a dozen different ideas of who he is and who he should be, and he *tries so hard* to be all of them at once and he fails everyone until he's nobody. And then after that, after all of that, he can start trying to be Theon again but I don't think he'll ever have a happy ending I think he'll get the Arya show ending of wandering around without destiny or fate because death isn't done with him but he doesn't know how to be alive either.

While Jaime........ God it feels wrong to write about Jaime without talking about Cersei who is my absolute blorbo. Jaime is so interesting because he's genuinely nobody without Cersei and he has to become somebody the moment he can't just swing a sword at everything and that somebody is so difficult to be. I think that's fascinating. Jaime to me is like... Someone who is very weak? Which may sound odd but hear me out. I think that Jaime and Cersei both have a very fragmented sense of self-identity and Jaime and Cersei's arcs are *both* about spending a life where they have no agency and where they don't exist as independent people beyond being a cog in a wheel, and finally being put in a position where they have to act for themselves, and in the process all the trauma and everything they were is destroyed and just. I think that Jaime is Cersei is Jaime, you know? And when that bond broke, there was just something so... Interesting. Jaime is lovely he's a great character but I can't actually get into braime or anything because in my head he only exists in relation to Cersei.

Dicen que “Ojos que no ven, corazón que no siente".

Pero qué hay de esas cosas que sabes aunque no veas. Aunque cierres los ojos están en tus pensamientos porque lo sabes y no necesitas verlo.

¿Qué se hace con el conocimiento de algo que no te gusta ver?

Hay cosas que no se pueden ignorar, como la manía que tiene de mirar al cielo y preguntarse qué tan rápido descansa uno después de teñirse los brazos de rojo.

Siempre me ha asustado su disposición a averiguarlo, su mirada cansada y sus ganas de volar para siempre lejos de todo.

A veces siento que lo miro a través de un cristal y le veo caminar por un pasillo sin retorno; en algunas ocasiones logro hacer que se detenga, pero otras veces parece que mi voz no es lo suficientemente fuerte.

Y tengo miedo de saber que no hago suficiente para que desista de ese camino.

books or show, your choice. i've included ships that might make you go "huh", like tywin or stannis (apologies for lumping them together btw), but i assure you these are all variously established ships in fandom.

apologies to the harry hardyng, domeric bolton, willas tyrell and aegon iv shippers, i know keeping them off is egregious especially the latter couple since sansei only has 150 unfortunately this is my poll and i want sansei there. also sorry to the aegon ii/sansa and aemondsa shippers, i'm keeping this to asoiaf/got, i do see you. you have been seen. for better or worse.
