THE PEACH

“I bet this is a brothel,” she whispered to Gendry.

“You don’t even know what a brothel is.”

“I do so,” she insisted. “It’s like an inn, with girls.”

I am apparently not done with Game of Thrones yet. 

I love these depiction of The Peach chapter by mustamirri. It was one of my favorite Arya chapters in A Storm of Swords.

WOMEN OF THE REALM

The production team for Game of Thrones series certainly did not hold back in everything they do for the show making it one of the many reasons I am a huge fan. 

Take these closeups of the costumes the female characters wore for example on how intricately detailed everything is from the fabric down to the smallest ornament.

AND NOW MY WAIT BEGINS

TEN years, yeah years till the next season for Game of Thrones.

WE'LL JOIN OUR HOUSES

My featherbed is deep and soft, and there I’ll lay you down,

I’ll dress you all in yellow silk, and on your head a crown.

For you shall be my lady love, and I shall be your lord.

I’ll always keep you warm and safe, and guard you with my sword.

And how she smiled and how she laughed, the maiden of the tree.

She spun away and said to him, no featherbed for me.

I’ll wear a gown of golden leaves, and bind my hair with grass,

But you can be my forest love, and me your forest lass.

Despite the fate of a lot of our most beloved characters, I'm still hopeful for this two to meet again in the future. Plus it will make true the statement above by King Robert that once was referring to Sansa and Joffrey.

GHOST, TO ME

because it will be a good season for Jon Snow in the Game of Thrones, I can't wait...

ARYA

"Stick them with the pointy end."

A Song of Ice and Fire - George R.R. Martin

Since I first watched the first season of the Game of Thrones, Arya is the character I have been rooting for. Brave, smart, courageous and strong despite the terrifiying times and what her family went through. A huge credit to Maisie Williams for bringing Arya to life. No one could have done it better than her.

This brings me to read the books because I no longer have the patience wait for season 4 and if she'll eventually reunite with Nymeria. And Needle! I used to want to watch the show unspoiled but some web commenters just couldn't help themselves but divulge bits of obvious spoilers, under the guise of storyline possibilities of course (I wish Joffrey be poisoned on his wedding day... Jon Snow is actually the son of blah blah blah), so might as well spoil myself wholeheartedly.
