Tyrion, Arya, Sansa, Brienne, Margaery.

I guess I'm very basic in the people I support. #SupportUnderdogs2K15

 

I kind of want to support Daenerys, but it's a mixed feeling with wanting her to burn in hell as well.

Stannis will see to that 

[bunniebean]

This is probably unrelated, but who do all you asoiaf/GoT fans support? I'm a Stannis fan

Sansa! Well, the "new" Sansa.

[Illyria]

Gaspard isn't even married is he? He hangs around with other chevaliers rather a lot...

 

He was married, but I think Celene's dad assassinated his wife because she had his wife assassinated.

 

Orlasians.

[Mims]

Also, women used to gather phalli as a source of power. Much like elfroot. Or Flemeth's chicken:

 

 

 

 

I love that Flemeth is the sort of character who might actually say that, and sound incredibly mysterious and insightful while doing so.

I ... like Stannis, but I think he'd make a terrible ruler on the Iron Throne (too divisive/too many people are terrified of him and will resist to the death/Melisandreiscray).

 

Personally, I think Tyrion has a reasonable chance at being the ruler at the end (going to put under spoilers to be safe)

It's been a long time since I've meta'd because the asoiaf fandom basically became a wankfest due to lack of new material, but the general idea is:

 

(1) foreshadowing: there's the mention of Hugo Hill in the books and Tyrion is connected to that historical/mythical king

(2) the king that Westeros needs:

• Tyrion isn't the nicest person in the world - I don't think he's this white knight hero the way a lot of fanboys worship him and they portray him in the show - but as far as morality goes, at least the potential is there (compared to say ... Cersei, whom I love, but who is an absolute mess)
• Non-magical ruler: Dany is one of my favorite characters in the series, but I have powers of ten reservations about her as a ruler of the 7K. All those considerations aside, the main reason I cannot see Dany or Jon Snow as the ruler at the end of the series is because of their strong connection to magic. Magic in Westeros is explicitly a dangerous and destructive force - it's not explicitly evil, but it's naturally chaotic. Out of all of the rulers, Tyrion is the one that has the mind of a scholar - he seeks to understand and explore the world around him and is (as far as I know) mundane
• Scholarship: Tyrion knows the country that he would rule - he has traveled to the Wall and across most of Westeros. By adwd, he has even ventured to much of the world beyond Westeros. He has and active mind and read tons of books growing up - learning about things like science and physics and history. This knowledge a good king makes in my opinion.
• High class - Low class: One of Tyrion's largest failings is his inability to realize that, while he may have it bad, he still stands in a position of privilege and power over many people in the world. He had sympathy and compassion for the smallfolk, but only so far as it was part of his conception of himself. Through his experiences in adwd, it can be argued that he is learning what life is like without the protection of his title/Lannister name/status and the humility that could arise from those experiences will help him become a compassionate ruler.
• Politically minded: At the same time, Tyrion enjoys The Game and is good at The Game

I definitely have short meta somewhere on my tumblr about this that is much better written than this is, but those are the general ideas, I believe~ (I also think the Iron Throne is doomed to melt down in dragon fire because it is the world's ugliest chair ever and destroying the IT brings full cycle to Dany's character arc about destroying the symbols of oppression and discovering the truth of her Targaryen heritage)

Orlasians.

Loghain tried to warn us... but did we listen?

[Giton]

I really don't think people were being crucified. That's a bit extreme.

 

People here, by and large, are pretty reasonable. If there is a dissenting opinion and it is brought up reasonably, I think the reaction is, in turn, Vulcan-like and reasonable.

 

I think people need to calm down. Nothing really justified reporting. Or censorship.

 

I would much rather have people with varied opinions than a monolithic thread. And it's how people are delivering their concerns. Mims offered up a good point, a point that, in turn, was taken in good faith. Which I think is indicative of how things can be handled without recourse to moderation.

Stannis will see to that 

 

As long as he gives me her wardrobe before. But honestly, she's ok most of the time, then she's utterly stupid the rest of it, and I'm like "UGH, GURL."

As for Stannis, not really into him. and I don't trust Melisandre one bit, even though I feel her character development sucks a lot. Girl deserves more than just be the "mysterious dangerous witch that gets naked and does magic with her vagina" trope.

We did the orleasian thing and set him up for a violent death!

[Giton]

Also, my husbando is not afflicted with a glitter STD, LIZ!

 

Edited to add: Also reporting really hampers the thread, people begin to censor themselves. I wrote something I was happy to share, but then I didn't because people seemed up in arms about Mr. Glory Thighs. (Later, I did anyway, but I was a bit nervous about it). I also want Sailor Moon Solas, and one should not feel reticent about spreading that particular form of love.

Sansa! Well, the "new" Sansa.

 

eek~ I have so many problems with the show portrayal of Sansa's character arc and this whole "new" Sansa they've created (I am~ and always will be~ Sansa forever)

 

but that's hardly limited to Sansa as a character, D&D are just plain terrible - GRRM wrote these wonderfully complex, human characters with these amazingly human vulnerabilities and D&D decided to turn 99% of them into fantasy tropes (it's still a highly entertaining show with some moments where the original story shines through, but it's so many levels below the original canon I cringeeee)

This is really good, but all I can think while looking at are those fake hairy powerpuff girlsmen.

yeah...

But only because I like Alistair better...

[Suketchi]

 
Gaspard:
 

 

 

I meant to show that Gaspard was a blunt, primitive and extremely dull instrument... But, hey! Your reading is equally valid...

 

In the words of Ohgren, "You can still kill with a blunt weapon!". I feel like the club is 'brutally honest', which I can appreciate in Gaspard.

 

What's funny is I legit thought you were. Blame my barbarian blood. I'd much rather be a club. Bloodied.

 

I blame my Norwegian heritage. Probably vikings in there somewhere, I'm sure of it.

Dat glitter effect. Nice. Hehe.

[Colonelkillabee]

When I asked people to talk a little less about other characters, I was mocked. Whether Uire's comments were in jest last night or not, she was trolled and mocked - I sincerely doubt those were the only two instances of it happening. It honestly looks like there are some subjects that you can't have a dissenting opinion about in this thread without being crucified for it. It wouldn't surprise me if someone felt that their concerns actually couldn't be addressed here.

I bring up unpopular opinions from time to time. Still alive.

 

The key is to not care what people think about you.

[Delphine]

And like Mythal... err, Giton said, to the people reporting others for silly reasons :

 

 

 

And now, going off to do what Orlesians do best: eat hot potatoes and Morteau sausage covered with melted cheese. MELTED CHEESE. I heard it stops people from reporting awesome posts from the funniest people around. Y'ALL NEED MORE MELTED CHEESE IN YOUR LIFE.

 

Also: I'm always up for any Sailor!Solas, anytime of day, anyday. Forever.

Sailor Solas, Best Solas.

I couldnt agree more! I love the book Sansa, you really get to see her develop. Hell i love the Starks period. The show is great on its own but it misses or changes important details.

Elven gods are all about glitter, right? 

This is hilarious. You know why? Sailor Pluto is the gate keeper. Out of all the Sailors, she lived the longest and survived the ancient war of the past that the other's did not. 10/10 for symbolism and literary parallel.(Sailor Moon is legit literature).

Yeah, I know! It was a very deliberate choice
