A Storm of Swords * 61. Tyrion VIII *Discuss only this chapter and anything prior

So this wedding was uhm.....eventful. Is that a good word for it? I see weddings in Westeros don't often end well. Wow! What a chapter.

R.I.P. You Ass !!!

OK now that my smarty pants comment is done:

Tyrion was thinking about the knife that Joffrey selected to have used on Bran back at Winterfell. Tyrion is still uncertain as to the "why". Did I miss something? Why is Tyrion so sure it was Joffrey behind it? Do I need to read further to find this out?

YES,YES, YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!

Even though I knew this was coming, I screamed "yeees" so loud, I think the old lady next door banged something against the wall to complain about my exclamations. Anyway, it was way past midnight, so she was right.

But how coooool is that???? DEAD, DEAD, DEAD!!!!

My favourite wedding in the book!!!!

Purple Wedding!

He guessed it was Joff. Anyway I think Jaime confirms this to Tyrion later on in one of the final chapters and also explains why.

LMAO! Leave the book on her doorstep and dare her to read it quietly.

One hell of a wedding!

Mkay, I have to admit, I find the King's Landing chapters quite boring. There were a lot of those in A Feast for Crows, which is why it took me several months to read it the first time... And to be honest, I was really disappointed in Joffrey's death. Don't get me wrong, I did (and still do) want him dead, but I'd rather he'd died as a revenge for Ned. (view spoiler)[When in fact he died to protect precious Maergery. (hide spoiler)] I expected more.

Also, I don't like the Tyrells. Or the Martells. No, actually, I think I may like Oberyn, but there's just something about them that bugs me. Perhaps it's because they're Southrons. I'm more of a northerngirl, myself. They're hot-blooded, prone to intrigue and manipulation, and though I do respect the cunning required for that, I prefer cold-hearted justice and straight-forwardness. (All hail Stannis!... Wtf? I almost wrote All hail Stalin :D And look at all these gems I found in Google:

)

Hmm... So Joffrey is responsible for the attack on Bran with the knife?
"But who will protect her from Joff?"
What is vair? - "silvery satin trimmed in vair"
Gah, I'm so not a fan of Joffrey! He is seriously so mean!
I'm curious about why Cersei assumed it was Tyrion-what was the proof for her?

Those pictures are great!

Really I do like Stannis even though he is boring. But to me he is the rightful heir and he would do so much better away from Mellisandre.

- from Google - Fur obtained from a variety of red squirrel, used in the 13th and 14th centuries as a trimming or lining for garments.

She has no physical proof, she just hates Tyrion and thinks he is out to get her (and her children). She talks about him in her chapters in AFfC.
