“No one can fault Lannister on his courage,“ Glover said. “When he saw that he was lost, he rallied his retainers and fought his way up the valley, hoping to reach Lord Robb and cut him down. And almost did.”

“He mislaid his sword in Eddard Karstark’s neck, after he took Torrhen’s hand off and split Daryn Hornwood’s skull open,” Robb said. “All the time he was shouting for me. If they hadn’t tried to stop him—”

Without negating any of his own personal faults, do you agree or disagree with the notion that Jon Arryn, especially if we got to see more of him in some late Dunk and Egg novellas, would generally come across as an intelligent and kind man to those who knew him? Someone Ned and Robert could genuinely be seen to look up to (well, mainly Ned) and influence the people and politicians they became?

i'm not sure what you're asking here. like you want to know how jon arryn would be received by normies as opposed to how he's regarded by asoiaf fundies?

dude whatever energy i have to think about asoiaf goes into thinking about jaime and brienne fucking and pondering how they're going to fuck and debating when they're going to fuck and wondering who will eat their hearts out knowing jaime and brienne are fucking, you get me?

i just do not give a shit what anyone thinks of jon arryn.

#asoiaf #jon arryn #like justice for young lysa #but otherwise i don't give a shit #ned was never the best judge of character

why, i went to tarth and saw her

Close the Door’s 10th Birthday - Q&A

We’re as surprised as anyone, but our little podcast is almost a whole decade old.

To celebrate, we’re going to do an open Q&A episode. You can ask us anything about Jaime, Brienne, the ship, the fandom, the show, the drama, our beefs, GRRM, the podcast itself—whatever you’re wondering about. We’re in the mood to spill some tea! (And maybe drink some stuff.)

The episode will be recorded on 24 March, so please have your questions in before then.

Close The Door And Come Here - ASoS Jon IX

Jon and what's left at the Night's Watch are tired and so are we. We're not quite sure what the Turtle is, but our heroes are throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks despite or because of GRRM's Looney Tunes physics. Janos Slynt arrives to spoil Jon's first good night of sleep in a while.

The thing about Jaime and Brienne’s relationship is that no one has ever really stood up for either of them before. They’re both the defenders, both the protectors–they’re the ones who love other people enough to sacrifice everything.

So then, you take them, and you smoosh them together, and suddenly–for the first time ever–they both have a protector? They both have someone who will save them? They start trying to outdo each other with how far they’ll go to save one another. It is ridiculous! It is wild! She scales a cliff and drops boulders on people to save him, he has to use his actual brain (which he hates to do) to save her, they both take beatings because they have to emotionally save each other. He jumps between her and a literal bear.

They even protect each other’s honor. She hates the way people talk about him. He hates the way people talk about her. They hate the terrible things people have done to the other. He’s maneuvering to save her from murder charges and she’s chopping hands off people who tormented him. He smacks the shit out of a guy who humiliated her. She’s willing to die rather than harm a hair on his head.

And if that’s not over-the-top enough, dear god, they actually believe in each other. He not only thinks she’s legit as a knight and fighter, he thinks she’s this superhero who’s going to obviously find Sansa–it’s not *if* she’ll find Sansa to him, it’s *when.* And she believes in his honor, this thing no one else in Westeros thinks exists–and she actually trusts him, which no one does.

Neither of them stops being who they were, they’re still these self-sacrificing dummies, they’re just sacrificing for each other now–protecting each other–and it is the most terribly beautiful thing I have ever read.

GOD the Jaime-Cat Dungeon Scene (tm) is so good. We spend chapter after chapter watching Cat in utter conflict with herself, torn in different directions. She wants to find her daughters in King's Landing, to go to Winterfell and parent her sons, to stay with her dying father, to mourn her recently dead husband, to be an advisor to her son and brothers that they actually listen to. She is trying to be a mother, a daughter, a sister, to both nurture and council Robb. But it's too much, she can't do all of it.

Meanwhile, Jaime is locked in a dungeon for the entire book (very wife in the attic of him) and yet scarcely goes a chapter without his name being referred to by one person or another. He's practically present in conversations with Cersei and Tyrion, for how much they evoke his name to try to convince the other of something. Others think of his battle prowess, or want him dead, or share the story of his evil deeds, and Cat isn't excluded from this. He's a symbol more than he's a person, a token, a bargaining chip. Never to be harmed for fear of the Stark daughters' lives, but completely trapped by his own status.

So this makes it all the more satisfying to see Cat, in a fit of rage and grief, go downwards to question him at last, after hundreds of pages of this evocation of his name. She's tired of the lack of movement, of the posturing of the men around her, of all that she has lost and had to shrug off to keep going. And what does he tell her? That there are too many vows, too many promises that conflict. He says that honor is too much, that he could never have kept all the plates spinning. That it's too much!!

After a whole year of endless loss and fear and feeling completely alone, one visit to this symbol of a person and he completely and transparently spells out her entire deal, so much of her internal anguish. And then he looks at her and says that there are no men like him, that no one else would get it. like oh my god. george!!!

#why is cat so under appreciated in fandom #her conflicts #the absolute meat grinder of her situation #the woman commits treason against her own son #and you cheer her on for it #her story is so incredible #and it always gets overlooked in favor of the aesthetic #asoiaf #catelyn #she’s lowkey the character who gives grrm legitimacy

my roman empire are jamie lannister and brienne of tarth. these two istg i loved them so much, so so much, why did they take them from me

When he was done, more than three-quarters of his page still remained to be filled between the gold lion on the crimson shield on top and the blank white shield at the bottom. Ser Gerold Hightower had begun his history, and Ser Barristan Selmy had continued it, but the rest Jaime Lannister would need to write for himself. He could write whatever he chose, henceforth. Jaimie page 1010

Jaimie writes the rest of his story on his page in the white book and ponders his duty and honor as a knight of the King's Guard.

The principle of this picture was sound. Unfortunately, I don't think I executed it successfully. Perhaps it would have worked out if I had zoomed out a little bit more, showing the weight of the room. But then it would have been too similar to the previous scene in this room.

It also would have helped if I'd looked at a picture of a book stand before I drew this.

the thing you need to understand about brienne and jaime’s white sword tower scene is that it’s their first date
