game of thrones
Okay, so while everyone (myself included) has been getting on Bran’s ass about showing no emotion, I do appreciate that while he’s obviously feeling emotionally numb right now (and honestly, for good reason, the kid’s been through a lot) he was still trying to comfort Sansa by telling her he was sorry that she was put through pain there, in their home, their safe space.
And, the fact that he wanted to let her know that she was beautiful in her wedding dress. I’m still working that out – it’s a little irritating, because of the pain she felt, but I also try to imagine the context behind that. Sansa must have spoken about her wedding all the time, and Bran probably imagined he’d be there, and – in a way he was, but it was something neither ever wanted, in a situation no one wanted – but still, it was her wedding dress, and Sansa was beautiful, and Bran feels the need to let her know and somewhere in there is the emotion and the need for him to bond with his sister.
Granted it freaks poor Sansa the fuck out, but still. Bran’s…kinda sorta trying?

Fortunately the show has also offered information we can actually use, like how we should never give up on the gravy when making a meat pie, or why it’s worth the effort to brown the butter first when making a crust. And we’re not the only one taking those cooking tips to heart, since Hot Pie himself as opened his own bakery selling his famous direwolf breads.
Actor Ben Hawkey’s new business, which we learned about at HYPEBEAST, sells great looking direwolf breads, like the ones he made for Arya (not the first one, that looked like a brown marshmallow).
And because any and all things related to Game of Thrones must be given a pun name, he calls his new bakery “You Know Nothing Jon Dough.“
We’ll allow it.
