#do i basically just want Torchwood but in Westeros

[torchwood-99]

It’s funny how little Winterfell means to me, at least compared to other fans. As a historic location it is fascinating, but I don’t feel any attatchment to it as a place.

I love the idea of home being where family is, so the idea of Arya and Jon and Dany and Bran and Jaime and Brienne; all characters searching for a place to fit and feel like they belong, finding home not in a single place, but in the company of the people they love, would be ideal for me. I think that is partially why I would be so happy if they renounced their noble titles and created a resistance group that worked alongside the smallfolk in order to weaken the power of the nobles. After all, the smallfolk are the labourers and the farmers and the sailors, the lifeblood of Westeros. So much of the nobility’s might stems from the illusion of power.

 For me feudalism is one of the true enemies within the series, especially this idea that the honour of a handful of people is worth the lives of thousands, is the cause of so much suffering, so naturally I would like my faves to renounce their titles and fight against it, and for the characters I love less that thrive or at least depend on feudalism, to realise their day is up and a new world is approaching. That would make those who turned their backs on feudalism the truest of heroes in my eyes. I don’t expect it to happen, but it would make me so happy. 

And seeing as it is a good while yet until we get the next book, I might as well entertain myself with found family/real family/band of misfits fighting for the revolution and getting into mischief together.
