The King in the North

What was your ultimate happiness thirty years ago and today?

When I was a little kid, happiness was when my uncles, my aunts, my cousins and all the others came around to our house. We would have dinner and they were drinking wine and there was apple juice – that was happiness. I always associated happiness with family, liking each other, getting along. And I think that’s still happiness, to see that everyone’s healthy, little kids are having fun, no one’s mad at anybody. - Francis Ford Coppola [x]

#i just thought about how loras used to squire for renly #and so he probably had to armor him at some point #and so he knows all those straps and buckles #he knows how every piece of metal fits together #and that night he has to put it on himself #and its so familiar and yet not because the body its going on isn’t the right one #and he catches his reflection as he leaves and for a moment #he lets himself forget who that person really is underneath the armor #but later when everyone else gets courage from seeing renlys ghost #loras inside the armor is just struggling to keep going#because this is so much worse than going on without renly #this is trying to pick up what renly left behind #this is trying to be everything renly was and loras knows he’s not the same man #there will never be another man like renly no matter how much he wants it

#don’t you fucking tell me this child is incapable of emotions #don’t you fucking down his character into a one-dimensional piece of shit #don’t you fucking tell me he doesn’t feel#he #is #t e r r i f i e d #and you may say he deserves it #and you may think it fitting #but not everyone can be robb stark #not everyone can fucking be ‘good’ #joffrey baratheon is not a monster #he is power #twisted #corrupted #premature #power #and he’s afraid #he was molded in an ill-fitting cast of greed #his fate #wasn’t one of his choosing #it was one read to him like fairytales #it’s only fitting that he should be who he is now
