oh she just gets what working customer service is like 🙂‍↕️

not this dude being the first online troll in the literal 1870s while also being a charmer ("to n.—you know the more mystery there is about anything, the more interesting it becomes. therefore, if i envelop myself in all the mystery possible, i will cherish hopes that you may dream of me!”)

"Where are you going, ser?"
"To my bed, to sleep. I'm drunk as a dog."
"Be my dog, ser. The night's alive with promise. We can howl together and wake the very gods." oh it’s CRAZYYYYY

dunk truly does forget who he has for a squire sometimes and then he casually mentions he has a dragon’s egg just for himself and that they put it on his cradle when he was born and he’s flabbergasted

the sworn sword finished! i can’t possibly explain how crazy this story makes me. i want it injected into my veins, every bit of it. i love the suffocating setting of the summer during a drought. i love how much care is given to the post civil war context, and just how complex and tragic ser eustace is. but, above all, i love the romance between dunk & rohanne completely. i could cry like a wounded dog about it.

"Ser Duncan." She reached up and laid two fingers on his swollen lip. "Did I do this, ser?"
"No one else has slapped my face
of late, m'lady.” “That was bad of me. A breach of hospitality. My good septon has been scolding me.” 😩😩😩🙏🏻

can’t say i’m much of a blackfyre defender, but eustace osgrey shows such a complex and compelling side to the loser of a civil war and his story is just so tragic and beautifully portrayed… oh, george rr martin truly is a beast of a writer

rohanne webber tracing her fingers through dunk’s drawn tunic in his chest and round his heart and him thinking “i’ll bet she’s freckled all over” and wondering why his mouth is oddly dry while this happens and this is THE FIRST TIME THEY MEET. IN FRONT OF PEOPLE. oh their season will be sooooooo steamy and yearny

“"Some knights never name their horses," Dunk told him. "That way, when they die in battle, the grief is not so hard to bear. There are always more horses to be had, but it's hard to lose a faithful friend." Or so the old man said, but he never took his own counsel. He named every horse he ever owned. So had Dunk.”the sweetie that he is 🥰🥰🥰🥰

“The world made no sense when a great prince died so a hedge knight might live.”

“I dreamed of you” 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

"Poor Maekar."
"Poor?" said Dunk, startled. "The king's son?"
"The king's fourth son," said Raymun, "not quite as bold as Prince Baelor, nor as clever as Prince Aerys, nor as gentle as Prince Rhaegel.
And now he must suffer seeing his own sons overshadowed by his brother's." maekar, the failbrother icon that you are!

maekar, maekar, maekar, maekar…

“‘A falling star brings luck to him who sees it’, Dunk thought. ‘But the rest of them are all in their pavilions by now, staring up at silk instead of sky. So the luck is mine alone.’”🫶🏻

“Some were small, some large; some square, some round; some of sailcloth, some of linen, some of silk; but all were brightly colored, with long banners streaming from their center poles, brighter than a field of wildflowers with rich reds and sunny yellows, countless shades of green and blue, deep blacks and greys and purples.” grrm first fighter against gloomy medievalism 🙂‍↕️

#JUSTICEFORMARY

doctor thorne, the KING that you are!

the way that the main young man of the novel has just publicly WHIPPED a man outside a gentleman’s club, his own father has laughed it off and the narrative has just moved on like it was nothing??????? IN VICTORIAN TIMES??

“Augusta again bore her disappointment well: not, indeed, without sorrow and heartache, and inward, hidden tears; but still well.
She neither raved, nor fainted, nor walked about by moonlight alone. She wrote no poetry, and never once thought of suicide.” tan real

miss dunstable seems to be kind of a queen if you ask me..

the way that this man is basically besties with his own brother’s MURDERER. and it’s never even mentioned like hello??????

such excellent gossip!

“I am too old now to be a hard-hearted author, and so it is probable that he may not die of a broken heart. Those who don't approve of a middle-aged bachelor country doctor as a hero, may take the heir to Greshamsbury in his stead, and call the book, if it so please. them, 'The Loves and Adventures of Francis Newbold Gresham the younger.'” we’re starting GOOD

the company of wolves supremacy!!!!

i’ve been broken forever.
