GRRM breaks your heart featuring spoilers
George R. R. Martin: This is Bran. Bran loves climbing things. Oh my god he is freaking all about climbing. He loves climbing things so much you don't even know. He's really good at climbing. Someday he's going to be a strong knight. He just loves running and climbing. He loves it so much.
Readers: Aw, Bran, he's such a sweetheart. He's going to be so strong like his brothers.
George R. R. Martin: Whoops. My finger slipped. Bran is now a paraplegic.
Readers: Nnh! Whuh---Why would you---? But---he---But---climbing---
George R. R. Martin: This is Jaime.
Readers: Ah! Boo! We hate him!
George R. R. Martin: Did I mention that all Lannisters get the best and sassiest lines in the whole series?
Readers: Mmh... Still don't like him. Okay maybe we like him a little.
George R. R. Martin: Jaime loves two things-- Cersei and Swordfighting. Also he's very sassy. And he's the best at swordfighting. Also his love with Cersei is really heartbreaking because incest is so messed up but at the same time there's really no one else in the world for them. They will never love other people like they love each other. Also Jaime really loves swordfighting. He loves swordfighting so much. You don't understand how much he loves swordfighting.
Readers: Well...I guess...The more you think about it the more you see the Lannisters as tragic and sympathetic characters.
George R. R. Martin: Did somebody say tragic?
Readers: Wait---don't---
George R. R. Martin: Remember how Jaime loved sword fighting and Cersei more than anything?
Readers: Please----
George R. R. Martin: Whoops. Sword hand gone. Cersei doesn't love him.
Readers: (Weeping in fetal positions on the floor)
George R. R. Martin: This is Theon. He loves archery and banging chicks.
Readers: STOP.
the starks on tumblr
eddard: read the terms and conditions all the way through and follows them. makes his theme so that you can see the "next page" button and the tags, and gets annoyed if you don't but doesn't say so.
catelyn: interacts with her followers a lot, opinionated but tries to stay out of drama. always the one to tell people "is this really worth fighting over" or whatever.
robb: half hipster blog, half personal posts that he always puts under readmores
sansa: designer fashions she thinks are pretty, and cute animals. also sometimes she uploads herself singing song covers
arya: text post blogger who accidentally got tumblr famous from some weird post she came up with randomly. has an extensive tag of pictures of nymeria.
bran: nature photography with autoplay of calm music, has some blog title like "in touch with my inner universe"
rickon: never types properly and doesn't care, posts a lot of short, incomprehensible personal posts and pictures of wolves.
jon: ☪follow for more grunge☪
And when the battle was done
I was promised my son
But with a thousand knights gone
To any kingdom I run…
Or maybe he’ll give me yours.
stonehearting:
As she stood there, all the memories came flooding back to her. Her father had taught her to ride amongst these trees, and that was the elm that Edmure had fallen from when he broke his arm, and over there, beneath that bower, she and Lysa had played at kissing with Petyr. She had not thought of that in years. How young they all had been - she no older than Sansa, Lysa younger than Arya, and Petyr younger still, yet eager.

jaimelannister:
