Game of Thrones

Has Renly actually grown some balls?

He was such a fop in series 1. Totally OOC.

Eh, in the books, Renly was portrayed as a younger version of Robert, albeit more dashing and charismatic.

In the show, he was a foppy nancy boy who flinched at the sight of his own blood. Hopefully, becoming 'king' will give him that new lease of life but I'm expecting more Ho Yay from the looks of it.

Loras wasn't great in the show either. Supposed to be a valiant young knight, yet in the show he was effete and had a girly figure to match.

but he's very girly in the books too(like looking almost exactly like margaery). Like in a prettyboy manner but he's pretty much what I would have imagined him to look like. Plus he played the same dirty trick in the books as he did the show, but people still loved him in both.

 

[Cthulhu]

Pretty sure he's supposed to be a girl in the books too. But as far as I could gather, neither Renly or Loras were flaming homosexuals.

Especially not with that chick around,

LORAS WAS VERY MUCH PRETTY GAY IN THE BOOKS AND YEAH ITS A LOT MORE SUBTLE WITH RENLY BUT HIS BROTHER MENTIONS MARG WILL DIE A VIRGIN IN HIS BED WHICH IS SORT OF PRETTY MUCH SAYING yeeeeeeeeah he gay

 

[looneymoon]

i mean shit renly is so dang cute i'd love to beard for him.

then again i love my yaois i'm probably the wrong person to ask...

not to mention Jaime threatens Loras saying he'd stick his sword "someplace even Renly never found" or something

Loras is indeed supposed to be a pretty boy but he's also a trained knight and champion jouster. His physique did not reveal that, at all. Even I've got moar muscle.

And, yes, it was heavily implied that Renly & Loras were lovers. No problem with that. It's stereotyping them both as girly boys that I take a disliking to.

I'm pretty sure the first book mentions his physique does not reveal how good at jousting/being a knight he is? It never mentions anywhere that he's supposed to be this muscular knight, just that he's a very slender, lovely guy.

Jaime referred to him as "slender as a reed", I think? Even so, it's possible for someone to have a slender physique and toned muscle, especially under the rigour of knight training. Loras's actor didn't have the figure to match that, at all.

Even less excuse for the show, since he's a grown man and not sixteen years old.

Especially not with that chick around,

dude renly creates a RAINBOW GUARD

also practically everyone in westeros knew he and loras were a thing, i forgot which character says it but when renly insists marg is a virgin they retort that she'll stay that way with him

even cat noticed renly showered loras with more attention than his new bride
not to mention loras' reaction to a certain event i just


these two could not get any gayer if they tried

 

[looneymoon]

*u*

 

[Cthulhu]

Okay fine I may have intentionally lost my ability to read, .

Rainbow guard,

So I'm in the middle of Blood and Gold (Book 3, Part 2) and...

Spoiler

OMG. I knew the 'Red Wedding' was coming (accidental spoiler) but that made the suspense even more gripping. What is it with the Starks and shooting themselves in the foot? Ned trusting Littlefinger, Catelyn kidnapping Tyrion, and then Robb breaking his vow to the Walders and marrying Jeyne. At least in Robb's defence he was still a naive boy at heart but dayum... these Starks don't make it easy on themselves.

Good guys finish last, . They're just morons and gullible, 's all.

plot twist much?

Seriously, this is why I love this guy. Unexpected plot twists. On the other hand, when you, after reading it for a bit, already presume that

Spoiler

everybody dies, it's not really much of a surprise anymoar

 

[Hisako]

Oh god yes.

Spoiler

It's easier to assume that everyone's going to die at some point, so the only way Martin was going to make it more interesting was when some of them are coming back to life now

 

[Cthulhu]

Spoiler

BRAAAINS!

ZOMBIE CATELYN

way to go all cliffhanger up in dat shit Martin (in two books)
