Tyrell. Just because of Granny Tyrell, who is EVERYTHING.
Show? Lannisters. Books? Lannisters and Martells.
Why do you like book Martells? I don't see much good in them. BooxDoran is wracked by indecision while being fixated on vengeance and Arianne is incredibly self-absorbed. Quentyn was the only half decent one and most fans hated him without really getting his arc.Quote:

What's the best point about House Arryn?Quote:

Not going to lie, that was a pretty satisfying scene.
I don't really have a favorite. Looking at that list, I like Littlefingers house the best cause he's just so scheming. Not cause I like him but cause he interests me.
One word: Arianne.
Where the smurf is he now, though? He seems to have just disappeared.Quote:

Instead she hires a smurfing psycho to join in just because she fancies him, and manipulates and lies to Ser Arys and does nothing to stop him killed.Quote:

Okay, but I like her. You asked why I like the Martells. There's your answer.
Ridiculous, ill-thought out plans? Doesn't that basically summarise the region of Dorne in general? Maybe it's the heat.
Yes this is all true but I was kind of hoping you'd say "yes but like her because x and y and that cool z thing she did" because I would like to know what someone who likes her sees in her, because I don't want to dislike any PoV.Quote:

Also, she's clever. I think it's arguable that every character in ASoIaF makes really troutty decisions. Yes, even Tyrion. They're all "insecure" about something and let that control their motives.
Oh yeah, especially Tyrion. He's just as insecure himself!
Is Stark still considered a great house with just like two living members left?
Anyway, I'm still rooting for them.
FIRE AND BLOOD
beautiful
battrout crazy
wonderful
I don't see any other assholes using dragons to unify a continent or being as smurfing badass and battrout crazy as the Targaryens so uhhh yeah I'm gonna go with the House who isn't basic af.
Lannister.
Obviously.
I don't see dany paraded naked through the streets by a person she herself raised to power
Hey how's that Mad King of yours.Quote:

Red cloaks always come in handy.
Yeah all that killing and yet Westeros is still fated to bend the knee to a Targaryen ruler
She's doing a fabulous job of taking over Westeros.
From inside her widow tent, in her widow rags.

All the great houses seem to have a number of dumbasses, but I'll have to go with the Greyjoys for being interesting, and for taking advantage of the general chaos to stir up all kinds of trout from a position of no power at all.
Yeah, Asha (Yara) is my favorite character, followed by Davos.Quote:

Though Cersei's hardly been a stellar ruler herself. I mean, honestly, none of them have, really?
After 5 seasons, Cersei's family is still on the Iron Throne....
Also it helps that Charles Dance, Peter Dinklege, and Lena Headey are some of the best actors on the show!
... barely. Tommen is basically a puppet, swayed by either the faith militant or Margaery. They've done well, the Lannisters, but they're in no means in a comfortable position.Quote:

Stark. My hopes rise and fall with Arya.
whoever pays the most.
This essay is very interesting, but it doesn't invalidate my point. Based on what we see in the show - which is all I have to go on, seeing as I don't read the books due to finding Martin's writing style unbearable - Dany is doing a BAD job at the moment. Her biggest mistake was assuming that everyone would thank her for upending the status quo, when in fact much of the population was heavily invested in the way things were, even some of the slaves. She also failed to keep any occupying force in the cities she took before Meereen. Or at least, not ones big enough to stop the cities from being retaken. The essay doesn't even address these key points. I like Dany, and I'm sure she can do better, but so far she's done a BAD job of ruling Slaver's Bay.Quote:

The Starks, cos theyre the good guys
I include the gorgeous Jon Snow in this (Swoons)
The only thing I have to go on with the Tully's is Sam who I love as Jons bestie. However he speaks very ill of his father. I'd go with the Lannister's
Sam isn't a Tully, he's a Tarly. They are not a major house. And then there's Brienne of Tarth. Tully, Tarly, Tarth. Confusing a smurf. Know what's an easy name to remember? House Redwyne. Guess what they make.

"the Targaryens answered to neither gods nor men."
"House Targaryen had ruled Dragonstone for more than two hundred years, since Lord Aenar Targaryen first arrived from Valyria with his dragons. Though it had always been their custom to wed brother to sister and cousin to cousin, young blood runs hot, and it was not unknown for men of the House to seek their pleasures amongst the daughters (and even the wives) of their subjects, the smallfolk who lived in the villages below the Dragonmont, tillers of the land and fishers of the sea. Indeed, until the reign of King Jaehaerys and Good Queen Alysanne, the ancient law of the first night had prevailed on Dragonstone, as it did throughout Westeros, whereby it was the right of a lord to bed any maiden in his domain upon her wedding night.
Though this custom was greatly resented elsewhere in the Seven Kingdoms, by men of a jealous temperament who did not grasp the honor being conferred upon them, such feelings were muted upon Dragonstone, where Targaryens were rightly regarded as being closer to gods than the common run of men. Here, brides thus blessed upon their wedding nights were envied, and the children born of such union s were esteemed above all others, for the Lords of Dragonstone oft celebrated the birth of such with lavish gifts of gold and silk and land to the mother. These happy bastards were said to have been “born of dragonseed,” and in time became known simply as “seeds.” Even after the end of the right of the first night, certain Targaryens continued to dally with the daughters of innkeeps and the wives of fishermen, so seeds and the sons of seeds were plentiful on Dragonstone."
