Game of Thrones: Brienne, list of favourites , Artur Dayne

[alexandral]

I am still spending all my free time finishing the batch of gif-y icons. And what great fun that is, I think gifs appeal so much to the geeky side of me! But I have to say that LJ's 40K limit on icons seems almost criminal, optimizing your gif icons is so so hard. The limit has not changed for the last, how many years

I love your GoT posts. :)

And homg, so excited about Brienne!!! I'm going to faint when I see her first scene(s) with Jaime, I swear!

[alexandral]

I want to know who she is. I hope it is NOT Katee Sacknoff. I might be able to live with this, but please!!!! Cast a NOT-pretty actress! Not everyone has to be pretty!

I'll be actively furious if they make Brienne pretty and shapely and just give her stringy hair or something to make her look pretend-ugly. Furious, I say.

I think Tyrion is #1 for me, and then - in no particular order - Arya, Jon, Brienne and Jaime would round out my Top 5. (I'm limiting myself to the living, LOL.) But I have a lot of love for plenty of others, too: Bronn, Sam, the Hound, Davos, Meera and Jojen...I'm sure I'm forgetting people. There are just so many characters, and most have such depth....

[alexandral]

it is really hard to limit oneself , isn't it? I also love, in not particular order: Arya, Loras, Davos, Bronn, Sam, meera and Jojen, Arienne, Asha, I can go on and on and on!!!!!! And yes, I am only counting the living. :(

[stoopid_silly]

My list goes Tyrion, Sansa, Dany, Jaime and then I can't really choose for #5. It's like a million way tie!! Maybe Arya. Or Theon. Or Asha. Or Renly. Or Varys. idkkkkkkkk.

I think the only possible shipping war could be Jaime/Cersei or Jaime/Brienne? Not many people seem to fight about it though, so that's nice.

[alexandral]

Oh how I love Varys. :D

I think the only possible shipping war could be Jaime/Cersei or Jaime/Brienne? Not many people seem to fight about it though, so that's nice.

Yep, this is the only triangly thingy but for some reason folks don't sseem to fight over it: I have seen numerous shipping list that go like: Jaime/Cersei, Jaime/Brienne, Jaime/whatever. This is cool, especially aafter the Asian drama fandom where the love triangles are things of MUST (ven in period and fantasy dramas).

[coffee_n_cocoa]

I'd say my favorite characters are: Dany, Tyrion, Arya, Jon, Sam, and pretty much everyone in House Tyrell.

The lack of shipping wars in this fandom is refreshing, especially compared to the shipping wars in the Harry Potter fandom. Don't even get me started on the horror that is Harry/Ginny... Here, it's like, "You like Jaime/Brienne? Cool. I prefer Jaime/Cersei." "You do? That's cool, too." Which is awesome.

Worst part about Harry Potter is that it's still going on. Even with the books finished. Ugh!

[alexandral]

Yep! Clearly the author got it ALL WRONG. She did send some confusing messages, though.

[alexandral]

I should have added a special number 6 entry in the list just for Oleanna.

HP - i have arrived there too late (I only read the books last year), was terribly spoiledand all, but I can promise you, the first couple of books give the full indication of Harry and Hermione. No wonder the shipping wars.

Never stop <33 I love your posts on Games of Thrones! I'm so glad to have such great people in my flist as obsessed as I am XD. Can't wait for your icons with gifs!! It's going to be glorious I know XD.

GRRM did a wonderful job with the "secondary" characters. People we barely see but have such impact on our preferences and love for the books. Arthur Dayne is definitely one of them.

Game of Thrones is probably the first big fandom that I am involved in that is free of shipping wars.

Oh! I never thought about it but yes. Some people are very invested in their ship but actually there's no war or agressivity about it. Then again, I think we're all more preoccupied about the fact that our favourite characters will survive or not. GRRM did a fine job about getting us all psycho about this XD.

[alexandral]

I enjoyed making gif so much, it is my new addiction.

hehehehe! I think I have a high tolerance here, growing up reading Russian classic literature. Everyone always dies there. Like "War and Piece" - the main guy dies in the middle and there are also pages and pages of his slow death. Yep, that's Russian literature for you. Mind you., Honoré de Balzac has some cheery stuff too.
