Day 15: Favorite Friendship

Contenders



Lord Stannis Baratheon/  -  Ser Davos -  Overzealous Manager /  Very Dedicated Employee

Lord Tyrion/  Ser Bronn    -  No pretensions. Alomst a bromance but both dont admit it.

Lord Jon Snow /Sam Tarly  - Brothers. Full stop.

Lord Beric Dondarrion/ Ser Thoros -     Undefinable.

King Robert/ Lord Eddard Stark     Two lost men, having one woman as common.

King Renly / Ser Loras       Lovers/Partners

Ser Jaime/ LAdy Brienne    Started as adversaries. became great friends and now in uncharted territories.

Arya / Ser Sandor Clegane         Master/Prodigal Discipline

Danerys / Ser Jorah              Only they think that as a friendship!!


Final Verdict:

Lord Tyrion/  Ser Bronn  

Ser Bronn has named his bastard son Tyrion in honor of his former employer, and in defiance against the queen of the seven kingdoms. There is every indication that they will meet in the near future.

 

Day 14: Best Ship/Pairing

The Contenders

I am ruling out actual friends.


Ser Jorah / Tyrion

Sansa/ Littlefinger

Lord Tywin/ Ser Jaime

Tyrion/Lord Varys

Reek/Ramsay




In the making:

Victarion/ R'hllor Priest



Day 13: Favorite Quote

 I am not going to give the usual fan favorites like "wear it as honor" or "fcuk the king" or  "Kill the boy and let the man be born " or the perennial favorite:
Bran - "Can a man still be brave when he's afraid?"
Ned - "That's the only time a man can be brave."



Ok..let me start with  Qyburn and Ser Jaime:
"There will be pain"
"I'll scream"
"It will be great pain"
"I'll scream very loudly"


Sansa: You're awful.
The Hound: I'm honest. It's the world that's awful.

 Big Bucket Wull:
"I want to live forever in a land where summer lasts a thousand years. I want a castle in the clouds where I can look down over the world. I want to be six-and-twenty again. When I was six-and-twenty I could fight all day and fuck all night. What men want does not matter.


- If it is Sandor Clegane that we encounter, what would have me do?
Pray hard, Jaime thought, and run. "Send him to join his beloved brother and be glad the gods made seven hells. One would never be enough to hold both of the Cleganes".

"Admit it imp, given a choice between fucking Lollys and fighting the mountain, you'd have your breeches down and cock up before a man could blink" -Bronn


i can’t even remember what she looked like. i only know she was the one thing i ever wanted, and someone took her away from me, and seven kingdoms couldn’t fill the hole she left behind." - King Robert Baratheon

There are old sellswords and bold sellswords, but no old bold sellswords." -Brown Ben Plumm

What could he have done, one man against so many?"
He could have tried, Brienne thought.”

"I crossed a thousand leagues to come to you, and lost the best part of me along the way. Don't tell me to leave." Ser  Jaime to Cersei

"Every man whose tasted my cooking has told me what a good whore I am.". Shae

"I dare more than you dream."  Prince Doran Martell

"When the sun has set, no candle can replace it" --Ser Loras.

"Those are brave men," he told Ser Balon in admiration. "Let's go kill them." -- Tyrion Lannister


They believe rubbing a dwarf's head brings good fortune" "
Tell them it's even better luck to suck a dwarf's cock"  -  Tyrion Lannister

"THERE'S A BEAST IN EVERY MAN, AND IT STIRS WHEN YOU A PUT A SWORD IN HIS HAND."  -  Ser Jorah Mormont


"A man agrees with god as a raindrop with the storm." -Damphair


 She would die as she had lived, with an ax in her hand and a laugh upon her lips. — Asha Greyjoy



The Lord of Light wants his enemies burnt. The Drowned God wants his enemies drowned. Why are all the gods such vicious cunts? Where is the god of tits and wine? - Tyrion Lannister

Day 12: A scene that made you laugh

Contenders from both GoT and ASOIAF

Tyrion/Bronn


Victarion










Hands-down Winner:

“Tyrion Lannister could not have been more astonished if Aegon the Conqueror himself had burst into the room, riding on a dragon and juggling lemon pies.”













































Day 11: A scene that made you cry

I have already posted some emotional scenes from ASOIAF here

Robb and Bran scene is the most heartbreaking scene.


Robb and Bran 

Background
How can a tender 15 year old lad console his 8 year old younger brother who recently lost both his legs, when their father is languishing in prison, mom gone missing for months, 2 sisters whereabouts unknown, 1 brother gone to the frontier never to return and the last brother a 3 year old who cries daily for mommy..





The emotional passage
That night, after the plates had been cleared, Robb carried Bran up to bed himself. Grey Wind led the way, and Summer came close behind. His brother was strong for his age, and Bran was as light as a bundle of rags, but the stairs were steep and dark, and Robb was breathing hard by the time they reached the top. He put Bran into bed, covered him with blankets, and blew out the candle. For a time Robb sat beside him in the dark. Bran wanted to talk to him, but he did not know what to say. “We’ll find a horse for you, I promise,” Robb whispered at last. “Are they ever coming back?” Bran asked him. “Yes,” Robb said with such hope in his voice that Bran knew he was hearing his brother and not just Robb the Lord. “Mother will be home soon. Maybe we can ride out to meet her when she comes. Wouldn’t that surprise her, to see you ahorse?” Even in the dark room, Bran could feel his brother’s smile. “And afterward, we’ll ride north to see the Wall. We won’t even tell Jon we’re coming, we’ll just be there one day, you and me. It will be an adventure.” “An adventure,” Bran repeated wistfully. He heard his brother sob. The room was so dark he could not see the tears on Robb’s face, so he reached out and found his hand. Their fingers twined together.

Ser Arthur Dayne

Today,i saw this interesting article about Ser Arthur Dayne.



I totally agree with this idea.

Ned could have never defeated Ser Arthur Dayne.
Arthur is also a very honorable man..There is no way out of the ToJ with no future..
He might have planted the idea to Ned and convinced him.
Ned beheaded Ser Arthur...thats whyNed is always sad when he reminisces that incident or about Arthur.

My guess he told the truth to Ashara as well and drove her to suicide inadvertently..

But, as many of the fans believe that Septa Mordane is Ashara Dayne, i am conflicted..
