Descriptions of Stannis’ eyes throughout the books

t

fuckyeahkingstannis:

  • His eyes were open wounds beneath his heavy brows, a blue as dark as the sea by night. (ACOK, Cressen)
  • His deepset eyes regarded her uncomfortably. (ACOK, Catelyn)
  • His eyes were blue pits lost in deep hollows, and the shape of a skull could be seen beneath his face. (ASOS, Davos)
  • The king’s eyes were dark blue bruises in the hollows of his face. (ASOS, Davos)
  • Stannis turned to study him. Beneath his heavy brow were eyes like bottomless blue pools. (ASOS, Jon)
  • Stannis studied him with those dark blue eyes. (ASOS, Jon)
  • The king’s eyes were blue bruises, sunk deep in a hollow face. (ADWD, Jon)
  • Those deepset blue eyes of his seemed always slitted in suspicion, cold fury boiling just below their surface. (ADWD, Asha)
  • His eyes were sunk in deep pits, his close-cropped beard no more than a shadow across his hollow cheeks and bony jawbone. Yet there was power in his stare, an iron ferocity that told Asha this man would never, ever turn back from his course. (ADWD, Asha)

↳ Stannis Baratheon

“Do not prate at me of history, ser. Daemon Blackfyre was a rebel and usurper, Bittersteel a bastard. When he fled, he swore he would return to place a son of Daemon’s upon the Iron Throne. He never did. Words are wind, and the wind that blows exiles across the narrow sea seldom blows them back. That boy Viserys Targaryen spoke of return as well. He slipped through my fingers at Dragonstone, only to spend his life wheedling after sellswords. ‘The Beggar King,’ they called him in the Free Cities. Well, I do not beg, nor will I flee again. I am Robert’s heir, the rightful king of Westeros. My place is with my men.”

Is that your counsel? That I should flee?” The king’s face darkened. “That was your counsel on the Blackwater as well, as I recall. When the battle turned against us, I let you and Horpe chivvy me back to Dragonstone like a whipped cur.”
“The day was lost, Your Grace.”
“Aye, that was what you said. ‘The day is lost, sire. Fall back now, that you may fight again.’ And now you would have me scamper off across the narrow sea… “
“… to raise an army, aye. As Bittersteel did after the Battle of the Redgrass Field, where Daemon Blackfyre fell.”
“Do not prate at me of history, ser. Daemon Blackfyre was a rebel and usurper, Bittersteel a bastard. When he fled, he swore he would return to place a son of Daemon’s upon the Iron Throne. He never did. Words are wind, and the wind that blows exiles across the narrow sea seldom blows them back. That boy Viserys Targaryen spoke of return as well.

#stannis in twow is both awesome and sad #awesome because he’s reached IDEFC level #and sad because in him it begins to seem almost suicidal like he doesn’t care about his own life #i think he is right that his place is with his men though #that’s all i think stannis the man has ever wanted: a place with his men #he does not as a man particularly WANT to be king but WANTS do not enter kingship in his conception of it #what he WANTS as a man is not entirely clear #but in some ways it’s understanding #and in some ways it’s just the life he could have had as a lord or military commander had the world not gone to shit with his parents’ de… #…deaths #all of which is beyond his reach now so why NOT throw everything left into this all #one battle at a time until you die #and i cry and my tears freeze in the winter snows #everybody hates Stannis Baratheon

Loyal service means telling hard truths.

“Only Renly could vex me so with a piece of fruit. He brought his doom on himself with his treason, but I did love him, Davos. I know that now. I swear, I will go to my grave think of my brother’s peach.”

#i honestly have so many feelings about how this scene was done because i think stephen played it so beautifully #he’s standing there fiddling with his brother’s tiny soldiers and ships and they look like toys #they’re these little toys reminding stannis that renly was his little baby brother who played at war and died because of it#because of him #and it’s so subtly done you can just see stephen little by little retract back into himself and this is what it culminates in this #tiny #tragic moment #of loss
