Seeking Comfort In Their Mothers Colours

seeking comfort in their mother’s colours

alicent + religious guilt

jaime & brienne

i liked show brienne for the most part for what she was (staunch, loyal, cautious) but upon reading the books it occurred to me just how necessary brienne’s endearing awkwardness, bravery, and hopefulness is in a world as grim and at times hopeless as asoiaf. she brings such light onto every page and you see it through her unrelenting kindness and her striving to see the good in people no matter what. instance after instance she proves it is possible to uphold the sanctity of knighthood and be a protector while still being empathetic and kindhearted and staying true to one’s word, which is something formal organisations such as the kingsguard no longer/do not subscribe to.

arya naming herself after catelyn once in braavos + brienne constantly thinking of catelyn's oath and sansa + sansa wearing tully colors in the vale + jaime trying to fulfil an oath he swore to catelyn + constant lady stoneheart mentions... catelyn stark u could never truly die
