Was Rhaegar feminine?

[The BlackBear]

I was surprised by how pleased I was that they got the Daario 'sword wank' in on the last scene. Especially sinse I think he's a tool, I'm not totally satisfied with the 'swords and sandals' look he has going, but can't see how they'd have done the hair.

[Lady Fevre Dream]

And it was so sweet, what he said. I just wanted to kiss you there. And they say GRRM doesn't write for the ladies.

I love Daario, he's just so damn sure of himself, it's awe inspiring. S3 Daario got it, so well, and now he's gone, and I have nothing to watch for anymore. I love the Hound too, but he's asexual on the show.

OMG!! I thought for sure being okay with Daario might be a BIG problem. I do think the guy on the show really got it, and I'm not counting book Daario out, I just have a feeling he will kick some ass for his Queen before he goes.

It's a good thing I find lots of things to laugh at on the show, enjoy alot of the acting and characterizations because other than oogling some guys here and there, there's not much all that sexual, for the ladies. The guys get there share of T&A, and that's fine, I don't even mind Pod and Precious CodPiece, LOL. I think it was a sweet addition, but I can't get all drooly about him, either. He's just a precious young man. I need Jaime to shave and/or get cleaned up, SOON. I need an illustrated TOJ of KotLT story. I need Val to show up and flirt with Jon.

Sigh, it's a good thing there is lots of story to enjoy and eyecandy. I guess we'll have to see how NuDaario does with Dany. I'm sure I'm forgetting some eyecandy, but I have too many guys from too many different mediums floating through my mind.

Bring on the Rhae-man, dude is worthy of a flashback.

ETA: I know it's all kinds of wrong, story purist wise, but I do get the lady boner just listening to TV Ser Jorah. Dude could draw a crowd reading the phone book.

I need Jaime to shave and/or get cleaned up, SOON.

No no no no no. That's the other thing that left me bereft. All my interest in that left the moment they shaved him. He's clean as a whistle now.

I think the same thing, he's going to come through for her.

This, too, but no flashbacks. There's nothing for me there... All my favorite stories bit the dust.

Well for Young Griff, the show must cover his hair somehow. Youre right, it may not be blue, but its gonna not be silver at first.

As for Daario, he was a poor man's Jack Sparrow. All the flair without the fun. I think thats why many dont like him. Its certainly why i find him to be a turd burgler. Hes just so goofy without being fun and witty. Blah.

:lmao:

So awkward. You are trying to set me up for a funny, arent you?

Jon is 12.

Ned: "Jon, its time we...spoke of certain matters."

Jon: "Like what? Im getting good with a sword! Robb is giving me hell, but hey!"

Ned: "Oh no...different matters. You have more..freedom than your brothers. But one day, you will find yourself in a situation with a woman."

Jon: "Oh my gods its going to be one of those talks... My lord, with all due respect, the training yard is full of trash talk. Mikken talked about that time he went up to Mole's Town...

Ned: "Seven hells...Well, ahem...Jon..despite that, there are things you must know."

Jon: "Are you going to tell me about how you met my mum?"

Ned: "NO!"

Jon: :(

I wasn't trying to set you up, I'm being too chatty as it is, but THANK YOU FOR THINKING OF IT!! Your writing ROCKS!! :bowdown:

[Florina Laufeyson]

Stupid Sexy Ian Glen is most certainly A Problem™ for me. Cuz i fucking detest Jorah. But his TV counterpart is so....

Goddammit!!! :tantrum:

Show!Daario was ok despite looking like a goober in that wig. He had something resembling charm at very least. I hope New!Daario will be more fun and full on Pornomancer. Its obvious that GRRM wanted Daario to be the guy that chicks will drop trou for if he just touches his sword hilts. But seriously, Book!Daario isnt Pornomancer like, but still tries to be. Show!Daario showed us a little bit. New!Daario needs to make us really understand why Dany wants to pork his brains out.

Your writing ROCKS!!

:love:

I was just mad that Jaime wasn't armored and somewhat cleaned up coming and going and coming again.......to Harrenhal. Since they've changed lots of his appearance altering from the books, I mostly just wanted a little soap, shampoo, some clean clothes, etc. (I do need to do an S3 rewatch). I was soooooooooooo disappointed he wasn't on his way back to looking a lil more Golden with Steelshanks.

I think Rhae-man would be difficult casting, but.....a girl must have some candy, now and then.

Tis true on the writing.

One of the coolest things things I read in an Iain interview was him discussing teaching his children how to swear. In that voice, damn....I wish he would record it for us.

[Le Cygne]

Jon: "Are you going to tell me about how you met my mum?"

Ned: "NO!"

Jon: :(

I can't relate to the whole poor baby thing except when it comes to Jon. Poor fucking baby. Damn it, Ned.

"You are a Stark, you might not have my name, but you have my blood."

"Is my mother alive? Does she know about me? Where I am? Where I'm going? Does she care?"

"The next time we see each other, we'll talk about your mother. I promise."

It's very clear this talent of his is natural

Ygritte did ask him where he did learn that, and he said that it was nowhere, she was his first girl and he just thought she would feel good

HA!

That Targ blood seems to have influenced father and son in many things, not the least of which is the use of appendages for the playing of all kinds of musical instruments, a song of ice and fire indeed. It is known.

I wonder if Jon's fingers have ever been described in the books. Cersei again:

Many a night she had watched Prince Rhaegar in the hall, playing his silver-stringed harp with those long, elegant fingers of his. Had any man ever been so beautiful?

[Lady Fevre Dream]

I wonder if Jon's fingers have ever been described in the books. Cersei again:

Oh, that is something to watch for on rereads. And, interestingly, Jon has the finger and hand obsession, the exercises, since the burns. That habit has become such a part of him now, it's not even necessary anymore, I don't think. I think that is a mark reminiscent of Rhaegar's dexterity. I am definately going to have to pay attention to that, any descriptions of the appearance of Jon's hands. The shame of it is, it's people like Samwell that mostly gives us the observing POV, although Stannis's own Lady in Red (who is Oh so interested in Jon) might have a good description for us. That woman couldn't jump on him fast enough for some shadow baby making. Yeah, Mel, it's just for the cause, right? RME and LOL

[Rhymes with Weak]

This thread got so weird, so fast.

I was going to add, I looked really quickly, and nothing besides the usual stiffness and flexing, but that does come up a lot! He makes up for it with the use of other appendages. :)

[The Mother of The Others]

He was "multi-faceted." Calling him feminine sort of undermines his mystique as a man amongst men, wouldn't you say? Like if Tiger Beat magazine started asking Justin Beiber simple algebra questions in an attempt to show him up. You'd laugh, but you'd also be thinking something wasn't right about the magazine doing him that way.

[bloodsteel bitterraven]

If they don't want to give young Griff blue hair they could have him shave his head and go by Egg ;)

[tormund's beard]

jon's fingers are burned, at least on his sword hand, but unless he gets high on the next book and spends a chapter looking at his hands we are not going to get a description of his fingers.

[Lady Fevre Dream]

This thread got so weird, so fast.

I don't know, what do we have? Alot of talk about some women here thinking that Rhaegar had quite the mix going for him. I would say, not feminine, but having an artistic soul. Tall, beautiful, able to Tower enough toe to toe with Robert. He has the rockstar aura that just draws the ladies, but it's back up with deeper purpose and meaning. Five books of sidebar references, and there he is.....a man that it seems readers ponder about and just need to know more.

Okay, the past few pages have a few digressions, but it eventually comes back to the Rhae-man and discussion about is male beauty equal to an effeminate appearance, or is there beauty in manliness?? Fear not, a girl must..........stop posting between spending time with her family, hang with her hubby, and perhaps, pick up her copy of ACOK (damn, is there any Rhaegar reminiscing in it?), and call it a night here.

I leave others to carry on the weirdness. Have a good night all, and may the ladies dream of Silver Princes...if that's their thang, of course. Same for the guys, whatever is your thang. :D :P :wub: ;)

[Florina Laufeyson]

This thread got so fun, so fast.

Fix'd. Seriously, im having a good time in this thread. I love to talk about Rhaegar. Hes number 4 in the Top 5 for me.

You got me there. Who said weird meant bad?
