theon interacting with Reek 1.0 ………….. scary #imscared

who was he before?? did i miss that detail?? i wanna google it but idk if its a spoiler

why is everyone saying ramsey is dead…… i don’t believe them……. what is he plotting… #imscared

love that grrm tells us what kind of spiced wine is the lord commander’s favourite. i’m sure it’ll be important later

“a sudden gust of wind made him fall to his knees, and Asha helped him rise. Theon leaned on her shoulder, and let her guide him across the rain-slick boards”

the foreshadowing i’m gonna cry :((((

theon and asha’s reunion is so funny wdym you remember your sister having a big nose and boyish figure then when you come home after ten years away you immediately flirt with a woman who has a big nose and boyish figure…… theon baby let’s reflect

i like that Gilly actively wants to escape her situation

lowkey makes me mad they changed that in the show, i feel like they didn’t want Jon to look like a bad guy for not helping her.

“is there any creature as unfortunate as an ugly woman?”

REEK MENTION???? HOW????

the concept of a series of Reeks somehow makes everything that happens later even more terrifying ☹️

him resenting his mom for being a mean “man-hater” when she was the ONLY WOMAN IN A LOGGING CAMP????

i’d threaten them with knives too tf

i cannot STAND jerome’s sob story about not knowing his background because he never asked his mom’s last name or where she came from. 10 years old and he never once asked a single thing about her? bro that’s on you

“Kate thinks I bring a lot of this onto myself because I like fighting. But I don’t believe I really like fighting. It’s just that I’m apt to explode”

GRRM is so good at writing children! the game the boys play is 100% something that kids would invent for themselves.
and the foreshadowing!! the Walder boys believe its okay to break an oath as long as you say “mayhaps” while you’re swearing it…. i sure hope their grandpa isn’t planning anything evil…

only grrm would give two characters the EXACT SAME NAME and then tell them apart by calling them Big Walder Frey and Little Walder Frey (Big Walder is shorter btw)

also don’t confuse them with Lord Walder Frey! he’s a different guy

Bran is cracking me up i love him

weird kid representation fr

he’s just a boy!! i’d be howling at ppl too if i was made a prince at 8 while my brother was at War

i’m so interested to see what Jorah does in the next book… everyone online hates his book version but so far he seems just like the show version (except that the book says he’s ugly bald & hairy lmao)

WHY DOES THEON SOUND LIKE AN OLD MAN 😭😭😭 he’s the same age as robb (?)

i swear he spoke at the start of this book and sounded normal

NOOOOOOO CATELYN’S DAD :(((((((

i feel so bad for her!! this wasn’t in the show but i feel like it adds so much depth… the parallels with him saying he was waiting for her vs how she waited for him to return from battle as a little girl

ROOSE BOLTON SPEAKS IN FALSETTO?? 😭😭😭😭 him and his son were so scary in the show

hopefully ramsay has an even sillier voice otherwise idk if i’ll even be able to read his scenes

“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. You owe her that, Robert. Look her in the eyes, see her tears. Hear her last words”

CATELYN STARK THE WOMAN THAT YOU ARE

RENLY SUPERIORITY ‼️‼️‼️‼️ can’t wait to see what he does in the books!

i wish the show had kept sansa staring emotionlessly at a grown man dying in front of her ❗️thats such a good unexpected contrast from her feminine personality (and also good foreshadowing for how tough she becomes)

the narrator keeps pronouncing Petyr like its “p’tire” rather than Peter 😭😭😭 hello?

also i can’t decide if Petyr Baelish’s effeminate posh british accent here is more or less annoying than the constant growl the actor uses in the later seasons of the show

who tf is Allen 😭

EGG MENTION 🤺🐎

(there’s no knight emoji apparently)

i love this moment where Robb gets mad at a 3yo for not properly controlling his pet WOLF

“Plato’s Republic, the Nichomachean Ethics, Rashdall’s Theory of Good and Evil, Horace and Catullus, Thucydides, Shakespeare and Milton — these and all the others crowded through his visions as he hung wearily over the arm of his chair, a man grown suddenly old, with the bar of hope broken in his brain. “I’m glad I know about them,” he said to himself. “In spite of everything, I’m glad of that.””

“It’s what that scrubby brown head of yours always needed.”
“It’s not scrubby.”
“Never mind, it’s brown— a dull colour.”

WHY is this the way their flirting is written???? am i supposed to find this endearing?? (this is their reunion scene after two years of her thinking he died in war btw…….. oh and also they’re first cousins)

“If I say that his face reminded me of a Dutch cheese I don’t mean that it had the complexion of a Dutch cheese; it simply made you think of one.”

hello? 😭😭😭
