@dryadnas I feel it needs a bit of explanation. Both are attachment and family-oriented, rather averse to cynisism, trying to save people who don’t want to be saved, the ignored sibling, lose the people they wanted to build a future with and are the moral centre of their families
@on_my_hightower@themothertower The book is also very good, but I prefer the series. Especially the characterisation of camille. She’s a lot more sympathetic in the show
@on_my_hightower@themothertower Imo there’s a parallel between the main character and gwayne returning to their families and having to reopen old wounds whilst simultaneously dealing with a bigger threat, and observing how the cycle of abuse at home continues
Things Criston would have seen in Harrenhal (to me) had he stayed the night:
- Joffrey’s beaten face becoming Gwayne’s
- His father’s death
- Helaena and Jaehaerys
- Alicent in front of the weirwood
- Rhaenyra and him happy as orange merchants, then the hallucination turns bad
I know I KNOW just hear me out because gwayne would have also turned into a functional alcoholic if he’d spent 2 more days with these two and their fucked up dynamic
