Assumption- you have at least one stick and poke tattoo, probably of something nature related
yes on the first part — i have two stick and pokes! but not nature related. one is a witch hat (me and my sister gave each other matching witch hats) and the other is (deep sigh indicating i was 18 at the time this decision was made) a janky little anarchy symbol.

the lannisters get a purple wedding in exchange for the red wedding (sansa’s word on joffrey is what condemns him finally to death at the hand of the tyrells). jaime pushes bran out of a window so he gets the hand he pushed bran with chopped off. ned stark unjustly executes gared and lady with ice, and his head is ignominiously chopped off by ice. sansa marks jon as her bastard brother, only to end up having to play a bastard herself. cersei uses sansa as a hostage by keeping her close and betrothing her to her son, and myrcella is shipped off to dorne to be used as a hostage betrothed to trystane. theon
in sword of destiny when geralt first meets little 10 year old ciri (like in that very first scene) he describes her as smelling like a wet sparrow and i almost started crying because first of all thats such a cute funny thing to say why would you say that. and second of all thats my little baby bird oh my god.

Honestly, the world building in AGOT’s very first chapter is so unserious. Like yeah there’s a penal colony that guards a magic ice wall, and there’s this powerful feudal lord who carries out the king’s justice by taking his barely pubescent sons to watch a public execution - he also uses it as a show for his war hostage ward, and there are these BIG, HUGE magic wolves that can grow as large as a horse and are super duper rare and dangerous but now six of them are suddenly here for no reason whatsoever, and today’s public execution victim claims that the ice zombies of legend are back to wipe out humanity?! And oh yeah, Jon Snow fucking HATES Theon Greyjoy!
Sorry I forgot to steal your tags with my first reblog- they are hilarious: @longclawshilt tags:
#jon’s hatred for theon being an important piece of world building is forever funny to me#like grrm just had to throw that in there#everyone else is cordial with each other but Jon and Theon is basically just:#Theon: *breathes*#Jon: THIS ANNOYING MATHAFU..!??#asoiaf#jon snow#theon greyjoy#jon x theon#objectively one of the hottest enemies to lovers ships in asoiaf#hope they meet in winds and fight to the death#or do something else idk 🙂#valyrianscrolls
Jokes and all, it IS actually a great premise in a way, an important introduction of the character of Jon for the future. Jon is introduced as this guy who "sees things others don't" (and his direwolf is the only one who already has his eyes open). It is reinforced immediately when Robb says the deserter died bravely, and Jon reiterates with how that man died too terrified of something to react any other way (which we know is true and the reason why).
When, later on, Theon betrays the Starks and "kills" Bran and Rickon, Robb who loves Theon is ready to believe it. On the other hand, Jon who is subjectively petty against Theon thinks "that doesn't sound right, he wouldn't do that".
this may be bc of my Gamer Nature and maybe it will change when i read more of the books or maybe it won’t but as it stands currently my favorite character in the Witcher is the witcher. and ever since starting blood of elves i’ve really missed being in his pov :( i really loved sword of destiny please get me back to geralt being geralt i know there’s a bigger plot now but I Miss Him.

“Who is this child, Wolf? Who is this girl?”
“She’s my…” Geralt suddenly stammered. She felt his strong, hard hands on her shoulders. And suddenly the fear disappeared, vanished without a trace. The roaring red fire gave out warmth. Only warmth. […]
Geralt’s hands clenched over her shoulders.
“She’s our destiny.”

I've been thinking about The Witcher books and tv show recently. Because half of the things that make Geralt seem cool and edgy in the show just don't exist in the books.
In the show he's always so stoic. Most of his exposition has to be told by side characters implying things and you just have to gage his reaction to decide if it's true or not. In the books however, he gives a full lore dump to anyone who's remotely nice to him.
Random Character: So how've you been?
Show Geralt: Hmmmm.... 😒 😔 😒...
Book Geralt: Terrible actually, thank you for asking. Monster hunting is dying out and I have zero transferable skills. Yennifer's left me again and Jaskier's off god knows where. Overall I suppose it could be worse, but that's the life or a Witcher. Also, my perfectly good leather jacket got ruined in a fight the day after I bought it :(
#he spends the books talking people’s ear off and other characters regularly comment on it#‘i knew before you tried anything you’d try to impress me with your eloquence’ etc#to say NOTHING about how incredibly sensitive he is.#sorry. i’m a hater. show geralt is a cardboard cut out. this guy is nothing. bring back my infodumping basket case#the witcher books#when he clams up in emotional situations it’s notable bc he’s NOT a man of few words generally
