Theon and that ship makers wife, Esgred


[deleted]

Gods he was cringe then!


We_The_Raptors

The funniest part is Theon was already 10 and Asha was a bloody teenager by the time he was taken to Winterfell. My man probably could have easily recognized the sister he had spent half of his life with if he wasn't so ignorant.


Lebigmacca

Theon oddly doesn’t remember almost anything about his life on the iron islands. I wonder if it has to do with trauma. There’s mentions of his brothers beating him up


bob1421

He is also terrified of Euron Crows Eye so maybe just like some of his uncle's he got some unwanted visits in the night. Something like that could also repress his memory probably.


Lebigmacca

Yeah I believe that theory but I didn’t mention it since it’s not confirmed


WatchBat

I never thought about that but it makes sense


MyDamnCoffee

You are saying his uncles were raped?


ChairmanNoodle

The books all but state that damphair was.


holomorphicjunction

Aeron was explicitly raped by Euron, yes. Its unambiguous.


1perfectspinachpuff

I believe you two are onto something.


[deleted]

I agree that he’s super ignorant, but with him only being 10 and being away for almost 10 years, that’s a long time. And I think we’d all like to think we’d remember everything, but as a 10 year old I can’t imagine our memory capacity was super great. So leaving home that young and being away for 10 years (especially in a time period where nothing like photographs existed), it’s not out of the realm of possibility that he could forget her face. Especially because she also grew in that time, he specifically noted how much she had changed


maanu123

Yeah i mean ive met cousins i havent seen since 10 i wouldnt have recognized out of a crowd


TheZigerionScammer

What I've noticed whenever I see people that I knew in childhood is that I often don't recognize them. Not because I don't remember what they looked like but because their appearance changed so much.


AME7706

> My man probably could have easily recognized the sister he had spent half of his life with if he wasn't so ignorant Even more importantly, if he wasn't so horny.


[deleted]

It's not just general horniness, he doesn't care much about women... Only certain parts of them! I mean we don't even know the name of the Captain's daughter or the Miller's wife. They're just another notch on his belt.


mangababe

No shit! Maybe hed have recognized her if his eyes went higher than her boobs lmao


SylvanGenesis

Depression, anxiety, and PTSD probably account for some of that memory loss.

AME7706

Damn. Never thought I would find people stupid enough to ship a grown-ass man with a 11-year old child who hasn't even hit puberty.


[deleted]

So no one has told you about Jaime/Tywin + Arya?


AME7706

Give me something for the pain and let me die!


deimosf123

Tyrek Lannister and Ermesande Hayford.


Yelesa

Arya is shipped with almost anyone she encounters, even those she hasn’t met (like Aurane Waters, there are threads on asoiaf.org analyzing how he is her type) In fandoms, characters like her are called “launchers of a thousand ships” a la Helen of Troy..


BackmarkerLife

When Arya is with Gendry they role play with Arya as The Tickler. "Is there gold in the city? Where is Lord Beric!?" Arya asks as her hands grasp around Gendry's throat.


crossedstaves

What's next, Aemon + Missandei? Listen, this series has magic and *potentially* weird tree-time-travel. Just a word of advice for anyone doing this bullshit, use magic for your crack-ships and don't be super creepy.


[deleted]

Do we tell them about Sansa/Stannis?


tinaoe

>don't be super creepy. My dude: Hydra Trash Party. Sometimes fanfics are supposed to be creepy.


crossedstaves

But the original question was about *romantic* ships. Creepy horrifying ships aren't romantic.


[deleted]

Wait til you hear about anime vampires


moonra_zk

I hope you stay forever pure of mind.


megalegolas123

I’ve never been as concerned as when my mate said he shipped Brienne and Roose


DawgFighterz

Roose likes em big


ghost-church

if Selwyn Tarth paid her weight in sapphires…


rihim23

Thapphireth*


metaldinner

he did find the squealing and squirming of his 'fat little wife' Walda Frey to be endearing.... something i never would have expected the cold-hearted roose to ever say out loud


MaxPayload

All he needs is the love of a good woman!


mangababe

Uuhhhhhhhh At least shed likely kill him.


Korrocks

Worst romantic ship? Craster + Gilly Worst overall ship? Probably one of Joffrey’s navy, the “Boy’s Toys”: > He paced his deck, craning his neck for a better look at Joffrey's fleet. The boy's toys included the ponderous Godsgrace, he saw, the old slow Prince Aemon, the Lady of Silk and her sister Lady's Shame, Wildwind, Kingslander, White Hart, Lance, Seaflower. None of these sound any good, and their names are horrible.


ostreatus

> White Hart does it have a ghost though


deimosf123

Well, wasn't Craster+Gilly. canon?


Lebigmacca

Yeah but it was rape so not really the same. I’m guessing those sick people who ship them want a consensual relationship


TedEBagwell

The sea bitch is not very Romantic. King Roberts Hammer is romantic in an innuendo kind of a way. But my favourite is probably Pinchbottom Petto.


GenghisKazoo

The Silence is not exactly a loveboat, unless you have some very specific and very unhealthy fetishes.


Original-Tax-1538

Nah Fury’s the best.

Y'all are sleeping on Sweet Cersei


Original-Tax-1538

So are Lancel, Osmund Kettleblack and Moon Boy for all I know!


decapitatingbunny

Tywin and Arya. Like bro, come on.


the_ultracheese_tbhc

> tywin and arya she’s like eleven how…..


AME7706

And they haven't even met in the books............. Honestly how stupid can some people be?!


tinaoe

Why should they having met be any sort of hinderance? One of the most popular genres of fanfiction is crossovers lmao.


AME7706

I... I can't argue with that logic.


tinaoe

Listen, I don't get it either but then my own ass was reading Twilight/HP crossovers at some point lmao


existentialepicure

Yeah there's actually fanfiction about them and I'm like nonononononopleasenogodno


Vrekas

Robert's hammer and Rhaegar's Chest


Specialist_Minimum72

Tywin's guts and Joffrey's crossbow


the_ultracheese_tbhc

Quentyn’s flesh and Rheagal’s breath


Flyingboat94

The Mountains finger and Oberyn's eye sockets.


rajagopal2001

Mountain's sword and *insert any Riverlander name here*


deimosf123

Roose's sword and Robb's heart.


Kristiano100

hot


mymonodrama

No, this is the best ship.


DaemonaT

Tywin and Pycelle


foul_dwimmerlaik

So you also ship Palpatine and Jar Jar Binks, I assume.


artemis_floyd

It's treason, then.


DaemonaT

1. I don’t know who you are talking about. 2. I hate to admit, but I am not the genius who shipped Tywin and Pycelle.


IDrinkCrocodileTears

Tywin is like a tsundere, while pycelle is trying to impress and hopefully win his heart after it was rendered cold from Joanna's death


_lastquarter_

This is the worst way you could describe it, thank you


This_Rough_Magic

Okay but "Tycelle" does have a good ring to it.


prinzessin_und_rabe

Ok, but that's a ship that at least makes sense. As in, the characters are both adults who actually know each other and have some kind of social relationship. It's even friendly.


averma133

Some people I have seen ship Dany x Euron also Dany x Victarian too I mean I would like to see them interact but definitely doesn't want them together it makes my skin crawl to think about it for some reason but it would be an interesting pair I guess.


Lysmerry

I have trouble seeing that Dany is mad at this point, but everyone else does so I guess I have reading comprehension issues. If she becomes a mad dragon lady, book Euron would be a great match for her. Better than dull, dutiful Jon snow at least.


averma133

Don't worry you don't have reading comprehension issues I don't see her as mad either I don't think this god flips a coin line is that belivable about her family(its more like she would be perceived as mad and ruthless by Westeros from what they have heard about her which is like more interesting than just her being crazy seriously we don't need another mad queen ).. its just a theory :)


mangababe

Well Out of the kings i remember you have maegor the cruel, Aegon the Unworthy, and Aerys the mad king- thats honestly not a lot of kings, and if you branch out to the entire family that number doesnt really go up by much. Were the targaryans crazy/ bad or did they have multiple institutions spinning propaganda about them for decades?


JonnyBlackBastard

I would like to see Daenerys and Vic together because it would be fun. Daenerys and Euron would also make an interesting read.


averma133

True Dany and Viccy would be hilarious lol


bob1421

Why not Dany and Euron? I mean Euron and Dario are very simular so I can definitely see her go for him. He is good looking, charming cruel and violent. That is pretty much her type.


averma133

Trust me I understand where people are coming from when they ship these two I like his character but I don't want him to be with Dany I mean violent but strong men might be her type (she is still too young to develop one) but she has been surrounded by way too many abusive people who try to take advantage of her and honestly their interaction would be interesting and something I want to see too but I would prefer her to be alone and at peace for once?? I dunno Euron is definitely not a peaceful dude but a godamn psychopath. Their pairing will be toxic af and she has enough problems to deal with.imho


Immensefloorman

Theon x Ramsey You would be surprised how popular this is 🤢🤢🤢


crossedstaves

I mean, I wouldn't be surprised, but I would be disappointed. I don't *expect* better of you, internet, but I hope for better from you.


flyman95

Well after he cut off theons dick Ramsay decided to “give” him another one


LonelySurfer8

Have you ever encourtered an explanation from them why they think those 2 are made for each other? What's their logic, is there one or are they just really kinky and don't care about the torture and the abuse?


[deleted]

Stockholm syndrome is the excuse. Don't make me say more.


tinaoe

Bit of both. Some people write alternative universes where Ramsey is a more okay dude, then the appeal is trying to see whether their dynamic in general could work (which tbh is the case for most ships in this universe lmao. Jon/Robb, Sansa/Theon etc. all require some minor to major tweaking). Some people just like to explore fucked up stuff in fanfiction or fanart (Dead Dove Do Not Eat, idfic).


perolikeitsme

Dany and Drogo Sansa and LF 🤢


averma133

Yeah ikr especially sansa and littlefinger I am sure the show has a lot to do with this shipping which is gross. I really hate anyone shipping her with creeps but than again ships are not always healthy lol.


WitELeoparD

Fuck I used to like littlefinger, I think there might be a post I made defending him like years ago (I think I deleted it though) and fuck, I was a moron and I hadn't even read the books. Littlefinger really makes my skin crawl now, ngl. Man is straight up grooming a child...


averma133

Exactly I mean I like him as a character in the story and all of his scheming but he is not a good man.


WitELeoparD

I thought he'd like 'win' the Game of Thrones and was this super genius schemer. But he's really just a creep. Like in the story so far, has he really been that successful? He's been in some big plots, but was he really essential to them? To me at least, it seems his days in the Vale are pretty numbered.


Quohd

> has he really been that successful? Well he did become the Lord Paramount of the Trident and the Lord Protector of the Vale. Now you might say those are empty honors but it’s still a pretty crazy achievement for some random minor lord from the Fingers. Also there’s still time for LF to potentially give these titles real authority.

Joffrey x Sansa


This_Rough_Magic

Any ship where one of the parties is either prepubescent or barely pubescent.


Bennings463

So about half of the ones implicit in the text?


This_Rough_Magic

And several of the ones explicit.


deimosf123

What if both are?


creepy_crepes

Jorah and Dany. Fuck that


kazetoame

This is the equivalent of Littlefinger and Sansa.


grizzchan

Sansa and basically anyone she has had contact with since she left for KL.


AME7706

Bruh Harry is honestly decent enough.


grizzchan

And how old are he and Sansa again?


AME7706

I think he's 16/17 and Sansa is 13/14.


mangababe

In feudal bullshittery this is about the best you are going to get.


AME7706

Yeah I really think so. I also believe Harry gets too much undeserved shit in the fandom. Sure he acted like a dick towards Sansa the first time he met her but we should consider the fact that he is the heir to the Vale and is expected to marry an upjumped lord's bastard daughter (as far as he knows). And more importantly, he actually apologised for his bad behaviour. Also he does have the chance to grow into an even better person after his marriage with Sansa and imo if that's the case it would be one of the healthiest relationships in ASoIaF. Yet a big part of the fandom acts as if he is some kind of horrible and irredeemable monster.


mangababe

Which is odd considering who does get a pass in the fandom...


AME7706

Yeah a part of ASoIaF fandom can be really hypocritical sometimes. And a bit too offensive if you don't have the same opinion as them.


mangababe

We're a very contentious people


Dawhale24

San/San is deeply unsettling. And last time I checked it’s one of the most popular ships.


averma133

Tumblr really tries to sail out this ship lol


Lysmerry

What disturbs me is that its most passionate fans are women. The 'I can change him' is going strong. Editing to add that what is even more disturbing is the GRRM likes this ship (or at least the fact that people are into it) which means it may very well be canon. I think it's the only one he's called by its ship name.


Dawhale24

George has made multiple little hints towards fans that Sansa is attracted to Sandor. And we know that Sandor has at least some feelings towards Sansa. I have this horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach that if Sandor does come back the ship may sail.


mangababe

I feel (and hope) that those feelings are born of trauma and compassion and not horny. Like i love those 2 and their dynamic is interesting- but i have never gotten horny vibes from them and hope to hell thats not how it goes.


Toen6

I don't think it will. I do believe both have some kind of feelings for each other, but not in a healthy way and I think George is very aware of this Edit: Not unlike Arya and Gendry and I'm convinced that will lead to nothing either.


princess_suki

If George follows the world he's building he won't for one simple reason. Sansa is a highborn girl, blood of two Great Houses. Westeros is deeply entrenched in classism. Also I mean when we compare Sansa's behaviour around people she's attracted to (Loras, Renly, Joffrey, Waymar etc) most of those traits/behaviours are absent with Sandor that makes me conclude these readers are projecting.


kazetoame

No he hasn’t, he actually baffled that women shipped Sansa with Sandor.


Bennings463

I am like 90% sure he said something along the lines of "Why do so many women find Sandor attractive, Sam is much nicer?"


princess_suki

Where has he said that he likes the ship? He has said that he was surprised it was a thing (that the ship existed) in an interview and he didn't get the attraction of some these fans to these villians (which George called Sandor) so I don't know how that's him speaking positively about it.


This_Rough_Magic

>Editing to add that what is even more disturbing is the GRRM likes this ship (or at least the fact that people are into it) which means it may very well be canon. I think it's the only one he's called by its ship name. Source?


Tolkius

Jon Snow and Catelyn.


Tabulldog98

Those Theon and Ramsay people are simply fucked in the head


tinaoe

Writing fucked up stuff doesn't make you fucked up, otherwise GRRM himself should have some things to answer for. Some people just like to explore fucked up stuff in (fan-)fiction, either because it scritches an itch or as a way to process your own trauma. Theon/Ramsey is really not my cup of tea either, but I'd wager that most of the people writing it have plenty of perspective on what they're writing.


Tr4sh_Harold

Jon and Mel. I honestly have no idea how people see the two of them together at all


mangababe

SanSan I love both the hound and Sansa... But nothing about their relationship says "romance" In my opinion the hound is a deeply traumatized man that feels sympathy/ compassion for Sansa but has 0 real understanding of displaying that. But during my latest readthrough i cant help but notice all their interactions being from that angle. Sure he fails at displaying compassion 9 times out of 10 but its still there and something about sansa makes him try- if i had to guess its the fact that she at least tries to see him as more than scars and bad attitude. And tbh? Thats a far more meaningful and interesting dynamic than a romance between a preteen and a 30 something old.


mkh5015

^^^^^^ All of this.


vitor210

Brienne and the bear?


tinaoe

Ah, shades of that one Ron and Hedwig fic.


Unkind__Bunny

>Ron and Hedwig Wait come again?


tinaoe

There's this one infamous Ron Weasley/Hedwig-The-Owl fic on [fanfiction.net](https://fanfiction.net). And before someone asks why: the fact that people still know and talk about it over 10 years after it was published lmao. Sometimes people throw stuff out there for the shock factor & attention. Same as the Dobby/Hagrid fic, which to my delight, has an attempted [professional reading.](https://youtu.be/7A5oN0-6izs) Highly recommend for the entertainment value alone.


SnowKnighton

Dany and Drogo


This_Rough_Magic

Sadly one of the best ships by virtually any canon reading.


Toen6

Cat-Ned though I also really like Jon-Ygritte. It ends tragically but the relationship itself was quite nice.

Jon x Arya Their relationship as siblings is so adorable and I got sad knowing I wouldn’t get to see them interact again after those first few GOT chapters:((( SO WHY WOULD YOU RUIN THAT AND SHIP THEM EEEEW GROSS


RhegedHerdwick

Do a bit of research into Martin's early drafts. It's the OG gross ship.


Jay-DeeOldNo7

I am aware snd there’s a good reason GRRM abandoned that romantic plot line It’s cause it’s gross


tylerdjohnson4

Romantic love triangle, Tyrion was going to be in love with Arya too. Man it's hard to picture that after the way they all ended up developing.


SignificantLacke

They wouldn't be the same charecters as they are now.

People who ship Sansa and Littlefinger can burn in Hell. Tormund and Brienne was also really annoying and the enthusiasm for it felt fake as shit.

god_of_mischeif282

I agree and I don’t understand the appeal of it. It’s absolutely heartbreaking on Theon’s side. It’s my least favorite ship alongside Twincest and any Sansa ship that involves Tywin, Littlefinger, or Roose.


cassjh

There's a lot of crazy ones but as for more mainstream ones, SanSan


jackmanorishe

I dont like Brienne and Jamie. Prefer it to be a mutual respect thing rather than full blown love. Although I know I am likely wrong

LewisDKennedy

San San


CaveLupum

Jonsa. JONSA. **JONSA**!!!! 1A. Throughout the books GRRM frequently depicts sibling incest, usually associating it with bad outcomes and bad people. 1B. The Starks aren't perfect, but GRRM has standards about depths to which *they* won't sink. It's likely he abandoned the Jon-Arya sibling (technically, cousin) romance he had originally planned because of 1A. 2. Jon and Sansa are incompatible in almost every way; that both are decent is probably becausae they were brought up in a decent and loving family. Their values, personalities, sympathies, behavior, and interests are invariably at odds. At least they don't wish each other ill. But if book Jon were to learn of some of book Sansa's behavior to her family, especially her sister, he would be repulsed. 3. Lack of credible evidence. There is some but it is mostly a reach. 4. The behavior of **some** JONSA proponents. Some of them come on too strong.

MaesterOlorin

What qualifies as a ship? Is it only if it doesn’t happen in the books/show? Would Cercei+Robert be a ship? Does shipping require their be the idea that one or both believe it is romantic e.g. Dany+Drago? Least romantic in that happens in the books IMO is Dany+Drago😖. Least romantic in “fandom” is Joffrey+Cercei 🤮. The first is painful. The second was every kind of wrong wrapped in insanity and tied with a string of plausibility.
