when his poor torn chest stopped moving, I gave him the good god’s own kiss to send him on his way. I filled my mouth with fire and breathed the flames inside him, down his throat to lungs and heart and soul. The last kiss it is called,
You’re telling me you snogged him back to life
I honor and respect and cherish you—but I do not desire you, Jorah Mormont, and I am weary of your trying to push every other man in the world away from me, so I must needs rely on you and you alone. It will not serve, and it will not make me love you any better.”
YES

Buckle up boys, he may come to terms with his own feelings yet
“I’ll pay her bloody ransom. Gold, sapphires, whatever you want. Pull her out of there.” “You want her? Go get her.” So he did.
atp he HAS to admitted he’s whipped
“I am grateful, but … you were well away. Why come back?” A dozen quips came to mind, each crueler than the one before, but Jaime only shrugged. “I dreamed of you,” he said.
Oh my boy’s GONE
With scarcely a moment’s respite, they began to play a very different sort of song. No one sang the words, but Catelyn knew “The Rains of Castamere” when she heard it.
OOOHHH ITS HAPPENING EVERYBODY STAY FUCKING CALM ITS HAPPENING
No, don’t, don’t cut my hair, Ned loves my hair. Then the steel was at her throat, and its bite was red and cold.

Ser Otto Hightower

“It was not for murder that the gods cursed him,” Old Nan said, “nor for serving the Andal king his son in a pie. A man has a right to vengeance. But he slew a guest beneath his roof, and that the gods cannot forgive.”
Walder Frey count your days fr
But every man in the Seven Kingdoms knew Barristan the Bold.”
THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND
And since the day you wed Khal Drogo, there has been an informer by your side selling your secrets, trading whispers to the Spider for gold and promises.”
The old men are beefing like mad bro
I survived the Green Fork and the Blackwater, I can bloody well survive King Joffrey’s wedding.
Joffrey on the other hand 💀 (Joffrey emoji)
She is not truly beautiful, she thought, but something about her draws the eye.
My skin has turned to porcelain, to ivory, to steel.
He said that all his other knights wanted things of him, castles or honors or riches, but all that Brienne wanted was to die for him.
For the boy who danced with her :(
“Lord Snow is nothing if not arrogant,”
Jon have have a little superiority complex, as a treat
“They plotted it together,” she said, this girl he’d loved. “The Imp and Lady Sansa
TRAITOROUS BIIIIIIITCH
“You are going to fight that?” Ellaria Sand said in a hushed voice. “I am going to kill that,” her lover replied carelessly.
I support him 200%
“I am going to take you home one day, Missandei,” Dany promised.
She lowered her big brown eyes and mumbled, “I’m Arya Stark.”
Arya, currently on a roadtrip with the hound and reciting her Lannister hitlist nightly: 🤨
“M’lord,” Janos Slynt reminded him. “You’ll address me—” “I’ll go, my lord. But you are making a mistake, my lord. You are sending the wrong man, my lord. Just the sight of me is going to anger Mance. My lord would have a better chance of reaching terms if he sent—”
Ned Stark’s influence fr
“Mercy.” Needle slipped between his ribs and gave it to him.
Lord Tywin Lannister did not, in the end, shit gold.
“My sweet silly jealous wife,” he said, chuckling. “I’ve only loved one woman, I promise you.” Lysa Arryn smiled tremulously. “Only one? Oh, Petyr, do you swear it? Only one?” “Only Cat.” He gave her a short, sharp shove.
Hit her with the sister card, damn 💀
“She don’t speak,” said the big man in the yellow cloak. “You bloody bastards cut her throat too deep for that. But she remembers.”
The North remembers
Archmaester Walgrave had no trouble telling one raven from another, but he was not so good with people. Some days he seemed to think Pate was someone named Cressen.
NOOO
Mance’s blood is no more royal than mine own.
…yeaahhh ofc
Lady Graceford, who was large with child, asked the queen’s leave to name it Tywin if it were a boy, or Lanna if it were a girl. Another one? she almost groaned. The realm will drown in Tywins.
She’s so 😭😭
How much can a crown be worth, when a crow can dine upon a king?
Unbidden, his thoughts went to Brienne of Tarth. Stupid stubborn ugly wench. He wondered where she was. Father, give her strength. Almost a prayer
Good god, CONFESS I BEG
The women are the strong ones, truly.
My sword, my life, my honor, all belong to her … and to you, my heart’s delight. I swear, no man will steal your birthright whilst I still have the strength to lift a sword. I am yours. What would you have of me?”
“Godless? Why, Aeron, I am the godliest man ever to raise sail! You serve one god, Damphair, but I have served ten thousand. From Ib to Asshai, when men see my sails, they pray.”

“Speak to him a seventh time,” Cersei suggested pleasantly. “The number seven is sacred to our gods.” “It pleases Your Grace to make a jest, I see.” “When I make a jest I smile. Do you see me smiling? Do you hear laughter? I assure you, when I make a jest, men laugh.”
Gods cannot die, but girls can.
Jaime’s golden hand cracked him across the mouth so hard the other knight went stumbling down the steps. His lantern fell and smashed, and the oil spread out, burning. “You are speaking of a highborn lady, ser. Call her by her name. Call her Brienne.”
Ohhhhh he’s got it baaaad (me too)
He stole my wife and he stole my throne, and now he steals my glory.
He’s 3-0 on you, you gotta start playing offence asap bro
One of the Mountain’s men had tried to rape the girl at Harrenhal, and had seemed honestly perplexed when Jaime commanded Ilyn Payne to take his head off. “I had her before, a hunnerd times,” he kept saying as they forced him to his knees. “A hunnerd times, m’lord. We all had her.” When Ser Ilyn presented Pia with his head, she had smiled through her ruined teeth.
Slayed, what a move
“If you bed her, though, be kind to her.” “Kind, my lord? How … how would I … ?” “Sweet words. Gentle touches. You don’t want to wed her, but so long as you’re abed treat her as you would your bride.”
Jaime the wingman 😭
Boys are the cruelest creatures on the earth.
Dog barked and wagged his tail.
I’ve only had Dog for a few chapters, but if anything happens to him I’ll kill everyone in Westeros and then myself
“Lady Brienne is a warrior maid,” confided Septon Meribald, “hunting for the Hound.” “Aye?” Narbert seemed taken aback. “To what end?” Brienne touched Oathkeeper’s hilt. “His,” she said.
I’m betting on her ngl
The Hound died there, in my arms. You may have seen a big black stallion in our stables. That was his warhorse, Stranger. A blasphemous name. We prefer to call him Driftwood, as he was found beside the river. I fear he has his former master’s nature.”
HOLY SHIIITTT
Go home, child. You have a home, which is more than many can say in these dark days. You have a noble father who must surely love you. Consider his grief if you should never return. Perhaps they will bring your sword and shield to him, after you have fallen. Perhaps he will even hang them in his hall and look on them with pride … but if you were to ask him, I know he would tell you that he would sooner have a living daughter than a shattered shield.”
The room was cold as well. Cersei undressed and slipped beneath the blankets, leaving her gown to puddle on the floor. Across the bed, Taena stirred. “Your Grace,” she murmured softly. “What hour is it?”
🤨🏳️🌈⁉️
Cersei wondered what it would feel like to kiss another woman.
Noted.
“Jaime,” she said, tugging on his ear, “sweetling, I have known you since you were a babe at Joanna’s breast. You smile like Gerion and fight like Tyg, and there’s some of Kevan in you, else you would not wear that cloak … but Tyrion is Tywin’s son, not you.
Ik he’s somersaulting in his grave over that one 💀 she’s right though
Once he woke up weeping. “The dragon must have three heads,” he wailed, “but I am too old and frail to be one of them. I should be with her, showing her the way, but my body has betrayed me.”
If Aemon had been with Dany, everything would suck sm less
