The funniest shit that ever happened in GoT was in, I think the third book, the wildlings referred to Winterfell as being in the South and Jon Snow got so offended like… “we are the NORTH”… and the wildlings just “well you’re south of us, buddy” and Jon’s whole worldview was shaken
there have been many times where jon just dissociates cause someone says 1 fact
“Jaime … he saved me from being raped when the Bloody Mummers took us, and later he came back for me, he leapt into the bear pit empty-handed … I swear to you, he is not the man he was. He sent me after Sansa to keep her safe.” - A Feast for Crows - Brienne VIII
Ser Jaime Lannister, fabled hero of the Siege of Pyke. Fabled loser of the Battle of Whispering Wood.
tfw you didn’t get to see them act like an actual couple
The guard of King Robb Stark, so savagely slain at the Red Wedding
Hey friendly reminder that book!Jon Snow is fucking complex as hell
Reminder that he broke a kid’s wrist and offered to break the other one like the sarcastic shit he is but ultimately decided to own up to his privilege and offer to teach other recruits how to fight because the jackass in charge was too busy bullying them
Reminder that he fought off three assailants (just like his mother) who were beating up Sam and actively looked for the bravery in a self-proclaimed coward and was able to look past physical faults and shortcomings to admire who people for who they actually are
Reminder that he makes morally grey decisions for the greater good and distances himself from the political conflict because of a bigger threat yet still loves his family and can recognize the cruelty of the Boltons and the Lannister regime
Reminder that Jon motherfucking Snow loves his direwolf with all his being and fed him a whole-ass roast chicken under the table
Reminder that when Stannis Baratheon, implacable military expert, was planning to take the Dreadfort that Jon deadass said “you won’t” and then changed his mind
And finally a reminder that Jon Snow was killed for his convictions and is going to spend however long living inside the body of his wolf, and that he’s going to come out feral and angry as hell
Reminder that he spends hours talking to Wun Wun to learn more about their culture and wishes Sam was there to write down the stories.
Reminder that he chances upon a couple of dead bodies beyond the Wall and takes them along so that they can rise as wights and he can experiment on them
Reminder that he is not passively kind (like Show!Jon), he’s proactive, radical, progressive, passionate and *fiercely* protective of people. He gets pissed at Ser Axell objectifying Val, he gets pissed at Satin being called unworthy for being a whore, he gets pissed at Leathers being called savage, he gets pissed at Selyse’s men attacking Wun Wun, he gets pissed at Cregan trying to marry Alys and steal her birthright. He gets angry as hell on the behalf of those who no one else stands up for.
Reminder that he spins Tyrion around in his arms
Reminder that he offered Catelyn kindness and empathy even when she was cruel and abusive to him
Reminder that he asks Ghost what he calls the stars
Reminder that he gave Bran his own fish when Bran didn’t catch any even though Robb was right there
Reminder that he never liked Theon, but his first reaction to finding out about Bran and Rickon’s deaths was thinking that Theon would never have done that
A final reminder that Jon Snow is not icy or cold, he is full of fire and passionate and fierce in his protection of people.
“All Daenerys wanted back was the big house with the red door, the lemon tree outside her window, the childhood she had never known.”

↳ STANNIS BARATHEON
He was determined, beyond a doubt. Nor did he lack for courage. Men said he was just … and if his was a harsh, hard-handed sort of justice, well, life on the Iron Islands had accustomed Asha Greyjoy to that. All the same, she could not like this king. Those deep-set blue eyes of his seemed always slitted in suspicion, cold fury boiling just below their surface.
Arya taking that extra second to open her eyes after kissing Gendry
Tormund: As your best friend…

The Finale as Joffrey’s wedding
At the approach of Orys Baratheon and the Targaryen host, Argella barred the gates of Storm’s End and declared herself Storm Queen. “You may take my castle, but you will win only bones and blood and ashes.”
Michelle Carragher’s blog includes instructions on how to create this dragon scale effect in fabric!
“For Sansa’s wedding dress the designer Michele Clapton wanted to have an embroidered band that wrapped around which symbolistically told Sansa’s life from the Tully and Stark beginnings to the entanglement with the Lannisters,” says Michelle, “The dress colour was still very much Sansa Stark and the embroidery had pale golden tones but woven through the story are ripe red pomegranates, the red colour symbolising the growing Lannister influence over her.
I have not watched this series but these costumes are incredible.
FINALLY, some good GOT content
“I will remember, Your Grace,“ said Sansa, though she had always heard that love was a surer route to the people’s loyalty than fear. If I am ever a queen, I’ll make them love me.”
