I just finished up Game of Thrones season 3 and I noticed a trend with the characters throughout the entire show. It seems that the older a character is, the greater the likelihood that they’re a raging prick to everyone else. Without further delay, I give you, “Age vs. Being a Murderous Asshole” enjoy…
***********************HUGE FUCKING SPOILERS AHEAD*************************
THE END.
P.S. I can’t wait to get attached to whole new set of characters in season 4 so they too can die horrifically.
P.P.S. Thanks to The Oatmeal for the inspiration on this one.
It is not a young versus old thing. You just mapped out the natural course of aging. 😉
More time alive equals more time to kill!
Except for the dragons. The dragons have been alive for a very short period of time and have managed to kill quite a few people.
this sounds like Borgia
WHERE – HAVE – YOU – BEEN!!!
BED EMPTY, NO NOTE, POSTS GONE!! YOU COULD’VE DIED YOU COULD HAVE BEEN SEEN!!!!
I missed your funny witterings 😦 glad you’re back … Again…
I have to admit, the older I get, the more people I could happily fantasise about killing and for less reason than when I was younger! Keep up the good work 🙂
What about Joffrey? He’s the biggest psycho asshole that ever lived!
I haven’t watched the show yet, but from what I’ve heard of Joffrey he’s not too old but isn’t he the most hated character?
Joffrey’s just a little bitch. He might have the incling to kill, but he can’t even kill a rabbit with his uber-x-bow. The only death he is directly responsible for, Eddard Stark, Ser Ilyn Payne had to do that for him
He killed the informant prostitute a few episodes back.
Oh, yeah, forgot about that. Still has ways to go to play with the big boys (like his pre-predecessor Aerys Targaryen. Now, he was a royal homicidal maniac…)
Yeah, Joffrey definitely kills more people in the books, and you can say he’s responsible for more killings with his policies.
Reblogged this on just this other girl.
In the first book Rob Stark is actually only about 16 years old, I think (Jon Snow is about 14!). (The ages of the Stark boys are both ridiculously young for what they do… Bran, on the other, stays about 8 years old for all the books and never seems to age).
Also, how did you not mention Cersei killing all the bastard babies and children?! My only other thought is the Mountain (and even the Hound) kills WAY more people than Littlefinger (at least, so far). Actually don’t think Littlefinger kills many people at all… he’s more of a manipulator in other ways.
Especially enjoyed your little pictures of the characters, you captured Tywin as a cartoon so well!
Hey! I’m 23 years old and have killed a considerable amount of people already. Though I am not a character in GoT. Though if I was, I would totally be Varys, and keep the people who chopped off my genitals in a box. I do miss my genitals.
Haven’t heard from you in a while, I hope you’re good!
*Does a hefty dance*
Sherlock.Please tell me you rave about Sherlock on this website, too.
Because if you do, I will tattoo the url of this website onto my skin.
If you don’t already write about Sherlock, here’s some incentive to start xD

Good one!
HODOR HODOR HODOR!
Very nice graphic depiction. Accurate too. Game of thrones should be called game of broken dreams & false advertising. I imagined more of a duck-duck-goose style game show & all I got was a perpetual tv brain freeze.
Isn’t that also an accurate representation of real life?
My gran looks like a soft, polite old lady whom sits around drinking watching Antiques Roadshow. Yet she is the most racist, fascist person that I know. That exterior is fooling to most!
Thanks for the laughs. Also, I don’t know why but I find Tywin really cool, except for the murders.
Nice!
You forgot White Walkers!!
– thousand years
– terribly cliquish (never travel without their BFFs, if you’d notice)
– TV voice-over done by the Nazgul from Lord of the Rings (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6yoS3LFIFM)
– wiped out half the Night Watch
Interesting point and interesting illustration of it! Vey funky!
I’ve only started watching it but yes, I agree with you, you have made a strong case it makes you wonder about the writers and their view on life.
cool blog!! read mine? 🙂 http://gillgirl82.wordpress.com/
hey me a big fan of game of thrones and though the comparison and verdicts were actually quite hilarious but you never did mention the dragon queen. She too is a big thing or supposedly going to be in the coming season in the fight for the IRON THRONE!! And ahh yes of course the wayward targareyns and also the ever witty dwarfy tyrion lannister!! But then for those who havent watched the earlier episodes this is pretty much what happened throughout the whole three seasons. Nice work. 🙂
*LOL*!!! I’ve decided he just flips a coin to decide. I wonder at times if he flips then says “d*mn, that was my favorite character…..*glares at the evil coin but still kills off character..and cries*”
You gotta love the books!
The dude who plays Little Finger is 45. The dude who plays Tywin Lannister is 67. By the way, I don’t like the font you use in your pictures.
I’ll never ever revisit your blog… I won’t see what you do to my comment.
Lol! That’s ok. When you have a blog with thousands of subscribers, you get a critic or two. Thanks for stopping by and for the feedback. Honestly, I’m not 100% sold on my font either. 🙂
Aloha! that statement is so like me…sometimes you just gotta say it without apology.
