here is the thing about the show making stannis/melisandre more explicit: it’s not exactly incorrect?? as in, it’s not textually unsupported. the whole point of the text is that it’s about as clear as mud. i think people have been over this about five billion times. so, you know, it’s possible to disagree with the show’s slant on things and still concede that they’re not wrong, because there’s not really such thing as right in this case either.
clearly he tolerates physical contact with her the way he doesn’t quite tolerate physical contact with his wife (and this ties into the roles the two women play, both in his life and in his war) and clearly he needs her for reasons beyond lighting some fires. we’re never in his head so we’ll never know for sure. (this also applies to labeling him as asexual which tbh makes me uncomfortable, because someone saying he dislikes sleeping with his wife does not categorically mean he lacks sexual attraction to anyone period, it just means he dislikes sleeping with his wife.)
basically what i am trying to say is, nowhere in the text does it say ‘stannis baratheon does not enjoy having sex with melisandre’?? so to say the show is WOW SO WRONG on this is pushing it, i feel
i think you need to let out ur thoughts i think you should do that rn for the sake of your health

DRAGONSTONE’S ENTIRE NARRATIVE THOUGH it’s just one of the most beautiful things and i love it so much?? because asoiaf is so much about family and the disintegration and construction of family units, but dragonstone is a little less about that and more just a study in types of faith, and subsequently in morality and actions and ideals

i imagine after every unsuccessful hawking attempt stannis would ollie off to sulk and proudwing would show up all ‘wut bro i tried’ and they’d have a stare-off
and finally stannis would just lie back and go ‘i can’t stay mad at you’
oh (feel free to delete this if you should reblog): this may be the last drawing i post for 3 weeks because i am ollieing off on sunday to lenox, massachusetts for piano camp. i have a queue set up (of sorts) and some sketches are in there, though all of them are sort of crap. regular shits and occasional giggles will resume on august 11th. unless they have internet up there. idk.
