"'I think Ned Stark loved Robert better than he ever loved his brother or his father... or even you, my lady.'" I Didn't Know This Was An Option....

RIP Catelyn Stark you would've loved SSRIs

I truly wonder what would have to go differently so that Tyrion and Cersei would get along. I don't think it would be that much honestly.

Does Daenerys hatching the dragons contribute to the alchemists' magic actually working, or are they both caused by something else? So intriguing!

Martin considers sex and violence the same: every sexual act that is described in this book is alongside or simultaneous with violence. Sex which is peaceful is never described.

Here, reading Varys's description of his backstory, is where I realize why he's my favorite character. In this world of grimly realistic poverty and heteronormative abuse, he is living proof that queer people can experience hell and come out the other end powerful and true to themselves. Happy Pride I guess.

SO interesting that the Faith of the Seven has a godhead specifically for the outcasts, that most people we've seen revile but that receives prayer from people like Tyrion.

Second time in this series a birth has been excruciatingly narrated and what comes out isn't human... what did George mean by this...

"'The Greajon's been heard to say that the old gods of the north sent those direwolves to your children'" MMHMM

Up to this point the reader's been given no hints about Loras and Renly's affair, making the detail of him killing three guards after Renly dies very fucking jarring
