ASOIAF-meme days 3-18

[lilith_morgana]

So, once I tried to do this. I got to day 2. Win!

Day 03 ~ Where would you want to live in the GoT world?

Absolutely nowhere. It's a horrible, unjust world full of horrible people and I'd end up being raped to death wherever I lived, most likely.

Haha, I agree so HARD with your reply to this (and yay, a ASOIAF post by you I can read without worrying about spoilers).

[lilith_morgana]

Heh! Great minds and all. :) I don't think I've posted so many spoilery posts, but maybe I have. (It doesn't feel that way since my fic is all pre-canon.)

[ishtar79]

It's not you, I'm just paranoid-I haven't even finished a Storm Of Swords yet.

[lilith_morgana]

Ah, I see. If you like the Lannisters you'll probably like A Feast for Crows. All of my favourite POVs are in that one and I'll never understand the almost universal hatred for it. :)

(And when you're done with the books, you should totally join us at westerosorting.)

Loghain/Tywin bromance
O_O That would be the most amazing thing. EVER. IN THE UNIVERSE.

[lilith_morgana]

I KNOW! It would make my brain explode with happiness.

"yeah, so I rescued her so what it doesn't mean anything shut up let's go home I need to shag my sister to get this noble thing off me, yo”.

Best summary! Laughing out loud for real at this.

Very much agreed with your favorite houses, and lots and lots of other things you say. Oh, and your unpopular opinion, too.

Also, I need to steal this meme... and then somehow try not to repeat most of what you just said :P

[lilith_morgana]

Hehe, I love Jaime partly because he's so uncomfortable in his own POV sometimes. :)

You should totally steal the meme, it's so much fun reading other people's answers. The Lannisters and the Tyrells should totally rule together. Oh, wait, nevermind. :P

No, see, they just tried it in the wrong generation.

I have this cracky AU OTP (*points to icon*), in a universe where Joanna never existed, because of course one can't keep Joanna and Tywin apart if she does exist. Tywin and Olenna together -- assuming they didn't throttle/poison each other -- would be such a force, I really don't see how Westeros could resist folding itself neatly at their feet.

[lilith_morgana]

Oooh, I like the way you think. :)

And to be honest, the Good Ruler DNA seems to be missing from the current generation overall.

I couldn't stand Robert Baratheon from the start. He is Henry VIII without the intellect and charm. Ugh.

[lilith_morgana]

Heh, yes exactly.

[countouttheday]

I feel like Robert's big redeeming characteristic is that Ned likes him, so the initial image you get of him is as a valiant man gone to seed which is fairly endearing. One of my favorite things about the books is how you get this revelation that the history that you're shown is not necessarily the history that happened (especially with regard to Rhaegar being introduced as being a terrible villain and then later it revealed that he probably wasn't even close to that

Oh yes, so much. And I agree that it's also a bit odd that people still cling to the first presented history as the right one, when it's being told over and over and over again from different POVs.

I suppose I even initially failed to trust Ned's judgement and that fact alone has coloured my experience of the books and the characters. I don't dislike the Starks either but Ned seemed to me, from the beginning, as someone who would only tell one very specific version of a story and what with people telling me "oh, you'll like these books, they're very grey" I figured his version of the truth was just that, a version.
