The Hound and Brienne


Fool of a Took

Recommended Posts

I'm sure this topic has been discussed before, but if we didn't talk about things that have been discussed, then we wouldn't be talking about anything at all.



Anyway, I have no foundation for this thought nor is this well thought out, and I don't necessarily think it is going to happen, it just popped up in my brain when reading another thread, but does anyone foresee a possible relationship between The Hound and The Beauty?



I know this may seem a little against GRRM's nature, but while they may seem completely opposite in nature, they are extremely alike in some ways.



Physically, they are both incredible in size and both well known to be not the most beautiful things to look at.



Also, the Hound is so put off about this idea of a knight and the hypocrisy of modern day knights and the idea of chivalry. And while Brienne can never become a true Knight because of being a female (I hope that's right) she does represent the idea of chivalry.



To go along with this, they both either care for or have devoted their goals to Sansa and Arya. Brienne has promised to Catelyn that she would return her daughters to Winterfell and as we all know the Hound cares for both Sansa and Arya. Perhaps they will find a mutual interest in the two girls.



I know this seems fairytale-ish for GRRM and this is assuming Brienne doesn't die with Lady Stoneheart. Also I'm positive this will upset the SanSan and Brienne/Jaime lovers. Again, don't necessarily think this is going to happen, they just seem to parallel each other quite a lot.

This is very far fetched and I can't see it happening. If Brienne is going to end up settling down with anyone the most likely candidate is Jaime Lannister. Sandor has feelings for Sansa that he can't properly articulate and she is at the very least 'confused' following her encounters with him.

Yea I definitely agree with you on both those accounts, it just seemed to me a slight possibility and I for one have never seen it discussed before. Not necessarily a theory of mine, more of question about people's thoughts

I think 90% of the population in Westeros are sexually confused. That said I think Brienne has still a thing for Renly and Jaimie probably for Cersei. They got hit hard.

It's an interesting thought but I don't really see it as likely. As Sandor progresses in his reassessing everything he will actually come to embody the chivalry he never believed in. I think he and Brienne could be friends and fighting partners but in the end really too much alike for a romantic relationship.

This.

I can see them as partners and friends, not lovers.

Brienne has feelings for Jaime while Sandor has his heart set on Sansa. While I would see them working together to save Sansa, I don't see them falling for each other. Then the feelings Jaime and Brienne have for one another that have been developing, their relationship, would amount to nothing.

Well, Pippin, it's not going to happen, but they could team up quite nicely. Both are Team Stark. I would love to see them in a fight scene on the show!
