I Like Dany V better than Dany X in AGOT. Her accession in Dothraki society happening simultaneously with Viserys’s downfall is really fun to read. The heart representing Dothraki culture and her struggling to eat it ( feel a sense of belonging with them) but she perseveres and does it just like she had to do when she was forced to adapt to life on the Dothraki Sea.
@asongofsansan Do you think that, in her head, she is possibly confusing stability for happiness? She’s not under constant threat the way she was in KL when she was a hostage. I’m personally not into shipping characters, so I’m not sticking up for Jon and Sansa—just want to know your thoughts.
Jon recommending Sam to become steward because he realizes they are both outcasts and must fight for each other on the Wall and make it their home is so good. Neither will can go back to their father’s castles so they must make their own at the wall.
The Alyssa Arryn statue being pushed onto Vardis Egen, effectively sending the Eyrie into total uncertainty, is a microcosm of how Lysa kills Jon. If Lysa represents the statue, then Littlefinger is represented by Bronn. Littlefinger pushes Lysa to kill Jon Arryn (Egen) and sends the Vale into turbulence.

In his first confession he doesn’t yet admit to what he’s really on trial for, being a dwarf, even though I think he knows. I think it just shows how Kings Landing brought the worst out of him and by that point in the trial for Joffrey he just says what he really feels because he was broken.
LF only blamed Tyrion for Bran’s attempted assassination because he has the least political clout in his family and is the most vulnerable. Which is due to his dwarfism.
I like how Tyrion is constantly able to manipulate people’s greed (Mord, in this example), but he can’t see past his own greed, and that causes his ultimate downfall. His own greed causes him to get caught up with Shae, and his arrogance and greed for power validation cause him to embarrass Petyr by using him in his spy plot with Cersei and falsely promising Harrenhal, which I think plays a part in them choosing him as their scapegoat.
