asoiaf meme → 3/3 point of view characters: Davos Seaworth “I am a man. I am kind to my wife, but I have known other women. I have tried to be a father to my sons, to help make them a place in this world. Aye, I’ve broken laws, but I never felt evil until tonight. I would say my parts are mixed, m’lady. Good and bad.”
“Lord Seaworth is a man of humble birth, but he reminded me of my duty, when all I could think of was my rights. I had the cart before the horse, Davos said. I was trying to win the throne to save the kingdom, when I should have been trying to save the kingdom to win the throne.” Stannis pointed north. “There is where I’ll find the enemy I was born to fight.”

→ “Roose Bolton has Lord Eddard’s daughter. To thwart him White Harbor must have Ned’s son … and the direwolf. The wolf will prove the boy is who we say he is, should the Dreadfort attempt to deny him. That is my price, Lord Davos. Smuggle me back my liege lord, and I will take Stannis Baratheon as my king.” Davos IV, Dance with Dragons
The island of Skagos
When he thought of Nissa Nissa, it was his own Marya he pictured, a good-natured plump woman with sagging breasts and a kindly smile, the best woman in the world. He tried to picture himself driving a sword through her, and shuddered. I am not made of the stuff of heroes, he decided. If that was the price of a magic sword, it was more than he cared to pay.

The Iron Throne is mine by rights, but how am I to take it? There are four kings in the realm, and three of them have more men and more gold than I do. I have ships … and I have her.

#SWAG RATING 100/100 (via bearatheon)
is this a knight who comes before us, or the answer to a child’s riddle?

Has the death of Davos’s son changed his character at all, in a way that you’ve noticed?
Liam Cunningham: You could tell there was a fantastic relationship between the two of them, and I think the relationship with Shireen has developed because he’s lacking his one son, which I think was seven sons in the book. I think what’s great is that, in the show, we’re able to show that this guy’s a good dad, and he’s probably the only dad that Shireen has, and she’s comfortable around him.(x)
#THE ONLY DAD THAT SHIREEN HAS#SO FUCKING TRUE THOUGH#stannis totally loves shireen but he’s not a Dad you know?#he’s a provider and a protector and he looks out for his daughter#he told his knights to fight tooth and nail to safeguard her birthright as his heir#but he’s not a Dad#he’s not affectionate or warm like ned stark to his daughters#that’s why i’m so glad about the added interactions between stannis and shireen on the show#in the books it was just noise between them i think and static#same room as each other? static#talking about each other? static#i bet they can’t even touch because they’ll get an electric shock#no affection allowed child#davos in the meantime would’ve been that kind guiding hand yanno#indulgent and comforting for a kid who cressen—the biggest Stannis Woobifier TM of all of westeros—thought was the saddest child#he’d ever seen#thank r’hllor for davos’ children too#i don’t think shireen would’ve met ANYONE her age if not for them#… well by them i mean devan#THAT’S ONE FRIEND#ONE NORMAL FRIEND#because is patchface really a friend
