#HBO stop getting this wrong #Stannis Baratheon is not a man of ambition #he is not a man who desires power #he is a man who is defined in relation to his duty #Robert says ‘defend Storm’s End’ - he defends Storm’s End #Robert says ‘be Lord of Dragonstone’ - he’s Lord of Dragonstone #Robert has no trueborn heirs and the line of succession runs through his younger brothers - Stannis is Robert’s heir #Stannis will sit the Throne because he is Robert’s heir #Stannis is a man of absolutes - justice and duty - not honor and morality #Stannis makes Davos his Hand because Davos will say no to him #this is the way their relationship works - Davos pays for his sins but is rewarded for his reasons for sinning #he rescues the garrison with onions and salt beef and loses fingers for smuggling #he’s reprimanded for absconding with Edric Storm but rewarded because Stannis sees the right of his argument
