Hey if you win a war, no one is going to question your heritage.
I used to be indifferent to Jon Snow when watching the show, but lately with Season 4 and the books I find myself more drawn to the character. In the books he's a lot more sympathetic and I enjoy reading his thoughts. I just want to legitimize him and make him Lord of Winterfell.
Jon Snow might be hard to write for but I feel he gets better as the series goes on since he is better about tempering his honor with being realistic as well unlike Ned and Robb. Then again he is so damn naive it is painful to watch him.
That too. This is something that's become more apparent to me with the Game of Thrones fanfic. I could go on for days with the Lannisters and Lord Baelish. But the Starks? Only one that comes naturally to me is Arya the rest are like... asdf!
I would say it is just more fun to write them cause you have to seriously understand where they are coming from to make a choice and that sometimes may lead to some interesting places. Lawful good heroes work best when you open the story with establishing why they hold onto their convictions and then proceed to set up events that challenge that core belief system. The name of the game is making their conviction an admirable trait, which is why well-intentioned extremist are popular villain archetypes.
Thanks. The more I write the more I find that the liars, thieves, and the snakes are easier for me to write about than the good, honest, trustworthy people. No idea what that says about me, if anything.
If you are interested just for the sake of writing here's a link to the wikipedia page outlining some of this stuff. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goetia
Oh. Demons be sneaky.
I'm talking about more of the issue that demons are just as dangerous to their summoners. In traditional summon rituals, apparently you need to be wary of certain traits of demons cause they like to either weasel their way out of their contracts or worse, twist the situation to lead to the summoners demise.
I knew that much just from basic knowledge of demons from the bible.
