is this anything
re-reading dunk & egg as well to finish off my asoiaf re-read :)) i love the d&e stories more than any asoiaf that isn’t a clash of kings or a storm of swords. like half of my favorite (and the best) characters, settings, themes, worldbuilding in that universe come from these
There is like one definition of bisexuality I've heard that I think is pretty much perfect: attraction to genders like your own and genders unlike your own. No need for overly complex definitions with stupid qualifiers that are simultaneously narrow and describe something that doesn't really matter in practice or doesn't work like that. No need for splitting it into 20 other microlabels. A very concise, elegant and practical definition.
Next episode,
Georgie, full gravity, hitting play on an old tape: Did the Archivist sound...like this?
Jon recording: --Statement begins. [INSERT HORRORS]
Sam: Oh my god
Sam: You guys know Chester?
Just completely obsessed with Sansa as the quintessential Arthurian damsel and Jon as her valiant knight. Sansa says true heroes don’t harm magic beasts….
In the songs, the knights never killed magical beasts, they just went up to them and touched them and did them no harm […] - Sansa III, AGoT
And Jon saved the direwolves; even sacrificing himself in the process:
“It be a mercy to kill them,” Hullen said. Bran looked to his lord father for rescue, but got only a frown, a furrowed brow. “Hullen speaks truly, son. Better a swift death than a hard one from cold and starvation.” “No!” He could feel tears welling in his eyes, and he looked away. He did not want to cry in front of his father. […]. “Lord Stark,” Jon said. It was strange to hear him call Father that, so formal. Bran looked at him with desperate hope. “There are five pups,” he told Father. “Three male, two female.” - Bran I, AGoT
Sansa thinks that true heroes dispatch of evil knights:
Frog-faced Lord Slynt sat at the end of the council table wearing a black velvet doublet and a shiny cloth-of-gold cape, nodding with approval every time the king pronounced a sentence. Sansa stared hard at his ugly face, remembering how he had thrown down her father for Ser Ilyn to behead, wishing she could hurt him, wishing that some hero would throw him down and cut off his head. - Sansa VI, AGoT
And well….
“I will not hang him,” said Jon. “Bring him here.” “Oh, Seven save us,” he heard Bowen Marsh cry out. The smile that Lord Janos Slynt smiled then had all the sweetness of rancid butter. Until Jon said, “Edd, fetch me a block,” and unsheathed Longclaw. - Jon II, ADWD
And Sansa looks for the truest of heroes to rescue the damsel:
She shouted for Ser Dontos, for her brothers, for her dead father and her dead wolf, for gallant Ser Loras who had given her a red rose once, but none of them came. She called for the heroes from the songs, for Florian and Ser Ryam Redwyne and Prince Aemon the Dragonknight, but no one heard. - Sansa IV, ACoK
And Jon is not just one, but TWO:
Every morning they had trained together, since they were big enough to walk; Snow and Stark, spinning and slashing about the wards of Winterfell, shouting and laughing, sometimes crying when there was no one else to see. They were not little boys when they fought, but knights and mighty heroes. “I’m Prince Aemon the Dragonknight,” Jon would call out, and Robb would shout back, “Well, I’m Florian the Fool.” Or Robb would say, “I’m the Young Dragon,” and Jon would reply, “I’m Ser Ryam Redwyne.” - Jon XII, ASoS
It’s all so perfect
