30 days of ASOIAF, Days 13-14
Lady Stark. You may survive us yet.
I have to admit I screamed a little. Except that whole scene made me want to cry, so. Oh. My poor baby.
That whole episode was amazing; really, really dark and hard to watch in parts, though. =\ Cat's scene with Ned's remains made me well up, too. :( And Joffrey with Ros the whore and the other whore was just awful, and oh my god, Benioff+Weiss, was that really necessary? *shudder* But the rest was great in a terrible sort of way - Stanny grammar-bitching at Davos was great, Davos was all around great, and the shadow baby was just... terrifying. Davos's increasingly horrified reactions were fabulous and so spot on, I mean, really... And Renly was great in this whole episode. Though you shouldn't be such a dick, man, it's really not going to end well for you...
Anyway, I'm behind on my meme, so here we go.

Oh, geez. There's just so many. I'm just going to spoiler-cut this both for length and, you know, spoilers.
[Quotes and such]...and for the first time in hundreds of years, the night came alive with the music of dragons.
-A Game of Thrones
First real holy shit moment in the series, so, yeah.
No, don’t, don’t cut my hair, Ned loves my hair. Then the steel was at her throat, and its bite was red and cold.
-A Storm of Swords
Oh god, oh god, that whole scene; but those lines in particular made me want to curl into a ball and die. And on a similar note:
But her eyes were the most terrible thing. Her eyes saw him, and they hated.
-A Storm of Swords
There's another holy shit moment, and one far more awful than the first. :(
I think that's enough. Moving on...
Day 14 - song that reminds you of your favorite ship
Hmm, I don't actually have that many for my beloved Jaime and Brienne. Although, this works:
Got that whole "I hate you but I can't really be without you" vibe going on, that push and pull that, to me, is quite them. :)
More tomorrow or the day after!
