I loved this scene so much. The actors play off this pairing as flirty and adorable in a way the characters really weren’t in the novels IMO.
That said, when she said the line, “Girls see more blood than boys,” my husband was all confused and like, “What, warrior women, she means?”
So I just looked at him and started listing off, “Blood from their periods every month, maybe blood from sex, blood from childbirth, blood from tending and washing the wounded and dead…That’s been true for most of womankind all through history.”
And he got very, very quiet.
I’ve reblogged this before, but I’m reblogging again for the commentary because this little exchange is like a wink to the female audience that I really loved and I guarantee you that any woman who saw this would know exactly what she means. There are a pretty big chunk of men in the world who don’t think that “women’s work” or women’s bodies are worth knowing about. Also I think find it really amusing when he tries to pass off his ignorance with, “you’re different, you’re not like other women” and she immediately shuts that down.
I just really loved her character, period. She was mouthy and strong, and took no shit. She called fuckers out and wasn’t afraid to stand up to anyone….but under her hardened exterior, she still fell in love with him, and showed him mercy when she could have easily killed him.
Ygritte was my favorite.
When the weather man said there’d be 6-8 inches of snow i wasn’t expecting this much, but that’s prolly bc I’m so used to guys lying about what 6-8 inches actually is
*spits drink*

Did you say 6-8 inches of Snow?
GoT girls, based on the show :)
You’re kissed by fire, remember? Lucky. It will take more than an arrow to kill you.
You Know Nothing Jon Snow - by Ania Mitura
I love the Game of Thrones books. I’ve only watched the first season of the series, so this isn’t supposed to be true to that or anything, just a loose painting of how I’d like to portray Ygritte.
I’ve started to also post some work in progress type things on my twitter, this image has a couple iterations. So if you’re interested, I’ll hopefully post more!
*slow clapping in the distance* someone give her an award.
