i am in no way saying they are the heroes of the story, while i do love daenerys, but that doesn't change the fact that they have not always had incestuous marriages. they married daynes and blackwoods and hightowers and martells far before rhaegar married elia. some targaryens themselves wanted to break the incestuous cycle. and let's not forget the arryns also have a history of marrying cousins, joanna and tywin lannister are also first cousins and half of the westerosi families are, in fact, inbred.

so, before we go all anti — targaryen, consider that the starks themselves inbred, the freys are related to basically every westerosi family there is and, again, HALF OF WESTEROS IS INBRED.

thank you for your time, now sit down, grab some ale and find another reason to shove the already most hated noble family even deeper into the dirt. good day & seven blessings to you.

This fandom will really look at the Targaryens — a dynasty of blonde, blue eyed nobles who used the fantasy equivalent of nukes to subjugate an entire continent, who spent 300 years getting countless people killed in wars they started over who should sit on the throne, who actually canonically believe that they are superior to all other human beings, who practice incest to keep their bloodline ”pure”, whose family name literally has the word ”aryan” in it — and think ”hmm, yes. These people are definitely the heroes of the story.”

so, as every asoiaf geek ever, i am listening to this amazing podcast called @davosfingers that i found literally yesterday and as i was listening to them cover sansa's first pov chapter and eddard's third i believe, i noticed a pretty interesting ‘‘nugget.”

"Get it off," he screamed. "Get it off!"

[Arya] picked up Lion's Tooth where it had fallen, and stood over him, holding the sword with both hands.

Joffrey made a scared whimpery sound as he looked up at her. "No," he said, "don't hurt me. I'll tell my mother."

"You leave him alone!" Sansa screamed at her sister.

Arya whirled and heaved the sword into the air, putting her whole body into the throw. The blue steel flashed in the sun as the sword spun out over the river. It hit the water and vanished with a splash.

— agot, sansa i

joffrey’s sword is named LION'S TOOTH and how ARYA throws it in the RIVER.

later on in the series we have a LANNISTER, specifically jaime, captured by another STARK ( robb ) in the RIVERLANDS.

just thought it was interesting.

This wasn’t supposed to be my life.

Abigail Hobbs- taking Hannibal’s hand not to die, but because it was the only way she knew how to hurt Hannibal. The patterns are the same, only the ending is different.
