fundamentally cannot stomach a lot of asoiaf character discourse because like. I love all of these characters even the terrible inexcusable ones and the ones who love so deep and so raw that they are their own doom and the ones who are so tangled up that every choice they make in the narrative is the wrong one. noticing more and more that people are evaluating a lot of the decisions that characters make like theyre math equations as if every single one of these people is not deeply sick in the head. if you dont love all of these characters why are you here reading these books

I noticed earlier that Tyrion often thinks of Tommen and Myrcella, who he is very fond of, as Jaime’s children, but never Joffrey who is in Tyrion’s narration Cersei’s son only. Until the moment he is dying and then all of a sudden he has Jaime’s eyes.

again, the Catelyn/Cersei parallels. also thinking many thoughts about how Tyrion thinks he should run away but instead he goes towards Cersei, like he wants to comfort her, and then of course she accuses him instead.

I think ASOIAF asks the question of whether or not free will exists at all if we can prophesize the future. Jojen believes that the future can't be changed at all, so where does he fall in the debate of free will? Does he think everyone is a slave to fate? On the other end of the spectrum is Melisandre, who believes that the future can be changed (else what's the point of visions) ... and that's so fitting because she used to be a slave. So of course she believes in free will by contrast.

“Lord Eddard had a brother named Brandon as well,” Jaime mused. “One of the hostages murdered by Targaryen. It seems to be an unlucky name.” - Tyrion I

Winterfell grieves for another Brandon Stark. Ned and Benjen grieve for another Brandon Stark and once again part ways with their chosen brothers. Ned came home after the death of his brother to rally the North, leaving Benjen behind to serve as Lord. After Lyanna’s death, Benjen left for the Wall leaving Ned behind as Lord. Our new unlucky Brandon Stark our same Benjen and Ned. One off to the Wall to serve his realm, one off to the South to serve his king. Jon Snow, our new brother of the Night’s Watch. Robb Stark, our new Lord left behind. Still no closure of grief to be found in the walls of Winterfell.

oh to be tywin lannister in agot…

your son and presumed heir what’s-his-name has been kidnapped and is still at large. last you heard he was in the vale maybe? but you haven’t checked and you’re not planning to

this is low priority because your daughter (derogatory) has launched a coup to kill her drunk husband the king and seize power. she accidentally gets a two-for-one deal when her impulsive and suspiciously blond son has the second most powerful man in the country killed for shits and giggles on the steps of the westerosi vatican. now your house is fighting a five-front war.

your favorite child—who is both the best swordsman in the realm and a national disgrace—is leading your far superior armies but he’s getting his ass kicked by a high school freshman and his pet dog, so you’ve got no choice but to head to the riverlands to clean up the mess. but zero worries because nothing EVER goes wrong in the riverlands!!!!

do y’all remember usernames??? from back when every fuckin website didn’t need your email phone number home address social security number just to join/sign up for something?? when you could make website-specific accounts that weren’t linked to literally anything else??? they tried to boil us like a frog slowly switching to “username/email” and then just asking for your email. but I remember. I remember usernames.
