A Game of Thrones. A book, a show, and to some… a religion. A religion whose deity (George R. R. Martin) rarely grants you new passages in your holy book. But when he does, festivals are thrown. Virgins are sacrificed. And then more is demanded.
Luckily for me, I was watching the show instead of reading the books (hold off on nerd raging me for just a moment). I just finished season 2. And now I demand more.
So now…. I shall begin reading the books. And along my journey I shall keep a diary of my thoughts and feelings in an attempt to be humorous, thoughtful, and so inspiring you name your first child after me. I will compare my high expectations with the reality of the pages put before me. I… have a dream!
But until then, let me use the power of internet memes to summarize my thoughts on Game of Thrones characters. I will attempt to summarize a character with two memes or less if possible.
Obviously, there will be spoilers. If you don’t like spoilers then I assure you that you are an idiot if you keep reading without reading or watching the show first.
First up is Ned Stark……..
So he deserved three for being Sean Bean. And we all know Sean Bean is awesome at dying.
Next up is his loving wife, Catelyn Stark, that likes to do things that make me angry.
Followed by Ned Stark’s bastard son, Jon Snow.
And their tomboy daughter, Arya Stark.
And another Stark, Sansa Stark. Yeah, there are a lot of little Stark’s.
You can’t forget the Stark’s oldest son, Robb (with two B’s, because it makes sense?). Robb unfortunately has a bad habit of his fathers….
Bran Stark, who has quite an unfortunate series of events.
And easily the most important character in all of the show…. *drumroll please* Rickon Stark, ladies and gentlemen!!
And that sums it up for the House of Stark! Next time I’ll do the House of Lannister. That’ll be a fun one.
