i love how ugly grrm gets. he isn’t afraid to have ugly characters that wouldn’t be physically desirable. so many books describe the main character as this other worldly beauty that is perfect in every way. it has always pissed me off and made it feel so unauthentic. but in asoiaf we have these objectively ugly people or these people who are objectively beautiful that become deformed or maimed in some way AND THEY DONT LOSE ANY OF THEIR WORTH BECAUSE OF IT.

like jaime for example his one purpose in life is to fight and when he loses his hand he loses his purpose but it sends him on a different path of self discovery. his fighting was a big part of him but there is so much more to him that was overlooked because of his fighting.

brienne is ugly and so what she is quite literally hands down one of the greatest people in the entire story. she is strong and honorable and will do what she has to do no matter how hard but she is still kind. despite all the shit that has been thrown at her that would make anyone bitter and cruel she still has an unrelenting compassion for everyone she meets. and that’s not a weakness of hers it’s one of her greatest strengths.

jeyne and theon who feel less than human who have been humiliated and defiled still get a redemption arc because they are worthy of one no matter what. they are physically and mentally destroyed but they’re gonna make it through.

their “ugliness” is what makes them such amazing authentic characters.

i saw a post about this that i can no longer find but it was something along the lines of how jon went to save arya at winterfell no matter how much she had changed. he knew she had been through hell and was definitely not the same little girl he knew but he doesn’t care because no matter how “ruined” society would brand her she was still his little sister arya.

edit:

this goes perfectly with what i said above

Iron Islands naming conventions are soooo funny because on one hand you have the most viking-ass names that ever did exist you've got Stygg you've got Gelmarr you've got Harl Jorl Qarl you've got Ragnor. A good number of them overlap with Freefolk names (idk what to do with that information either). But then a small handful would better fit in a Jane Austen novel with how fucking posh they sound in isolation. This is a post about Tristifer Botley.

#asoiaf #iron islands #valyrianscrolls #tristifer botley #and i don't know what the fuck balon was doing naming his son after a Stark king who fought AND WON!!! a war against the Ironborn #bc that's the only other Theon we ever hear about in the books so like. what else am I supposed to assume GRRM. what #EDIT: there were ironborn Theons too actually I'm just dumb!! balon gets a pass this once!

A Song of Ice and Fire feat. Avan Jogia (insp)

#asoiafedit #valyrianscrolls #bookedit #litedit #avan jogia #asoiaf #asoiaf fancast #asoiaf misc #asoiaf general #myedits*#edit*: gifset #book: asoiaf #theon greyjoy #quentyn martell #trystane martell #i love how we all saw him and all went 'gotta fancast him' and everyone has a different vision. that means i get to see him MORE which i <3 #i am NOT making fun of anyone. if anything i'm making fun of myself because he's my older trys fc which is a big joke because that implies #1) we get twow and possibly ados 2) trys survives 3) we SEE him older. so basically i'm the biggest clown #please all admire the work that went through coloring the hair for daemon and hizdahr

'I have black garb enough, once I tear the krakens off.'

I am screaming Theon you are doomed by the narrative and the consequences of your actions, offered the only possible way out, and the first thing you think is 'hmm do I have the outfit for it though?'

#guess who finally reread Clash of Kings and finished it this time #many issues with asoiaf and got i know #but dammit this awful squid idiot is important to me #and I WILL read all the books eventually #asoiaf #theon greyjoy #is somehow even worse in the books which sure is a Feat

He tossed his bow back to Wex and strode off, remembering how elated he'd felt after the Whispering Wood, and wondering why this did not taste as sweet.

I was recently reminded of the first time I read ADwD, with it being the only book in the series that I listened to via audio book, and I chose to do so during my shifts working food-service. Anyway, don't do that, friends!
