    Stannis was right but an asshole.

    Ned was right but an idiot. As were Robb and John.

    Sandor had a decent conscience he never fucking listened to.

    Brienne always listened to hers and never made a good decision.

    Jaime was only an anti-hero.

    Mance… probably could’ve left out the cannibals.

      Robb was such a fucking idiot… political marriages are a thing and affairs are so common that each region has a specific name for bastards. The series running up to the red wedding read like a Greek tragedy - just one person having a modicum of sense would’ve derailed the whole thing. Lust let loose.

      Stannis was wrong first. He was bitter that he was passed over and could never resolve that - if he had he’d be living on easy street. Stubborn fucking pride.

      My favorite part about aGoT is just how fucking obviously everyone gets fucked over by their flaws… the only real exception here is Jamie and Sansa - Jamie owes a karmic debt and Sansa was legitimately just “wrong place wrong timed”
