the teaches of peaches : conspiracy theory

While you're pacing in front of your TV in wait for the finale, LET'S TALK ABOUT FRUIT. The one that is relevant to our interests.

What do you think Renly's peach means? Does it come back to haunt us? Absolutely all opinions are welcome.

I was so baffled by this scene in the book! Is there more to it than Renly shamelessly taunting Stannis with the power of Highgarden behind him?

Somehow, I don't feel it was a non-subtle GRRM way to flaunt his sexuality in a 'haha that Renly is a fruit' way. Totally another genre and it would clash with the mood of the scene, in my opinion. Both Stannis and I are confused, and the fact that Stannis keeps coming back to it, this tickles my conspiracy theory radar. Unless it's just a way to show that even a lobster can feel remorse. Idk, will Stannis be killed by a well-thrown giant peach, choked by his afternoon sangria, move to Georgia? Or is there a symbolism that escapes me?

(I am on the third book, fwiw.)

I really hope there's an explanation somewhere, cos it seemed so random when I read it. I was like, OH RENLY. XD

IF HE COMES BACK, I WILL DIE OF HAPPINESS. Altho if Renly comes back and Loras dies (considering he's injured) I will cut a bitch. That would just be cruel. But I can see GRRM doing it <_<

I know, right? I would have thought that it was some joke that was passing over my head but then Stannis comes back and says he didn't get it either. This peach starts looking anvilicious to me.

Remember you were all sadfaced because you finished reading the books? I'M GETTING THERE FAST. HOLD MEEEEEEEE.

My plan for July 12th: buy the kindle edition. Search on "Loras" before doing anything else. I am so not going to walk into this blind. *clings to things*

You're giving me hope. I can't see it going unanswered, especially if Stannis is questioning it.

*HOLDS* I am both excited and scared beyond belief to get the next book. If he kills Loras...

Except not really, cos I have to see how it ends. But still, why does he always off my favs?! :/

GURL I WOULD BE BITTER.

I quit reading after he killed Ned because I was just shocked, and then I picked up but I was still burned and I put the books away until the show dragged me back. I'm sure I won't stop reading because I still have Jon, Dany, Tyrion and maybe Sansa to root for.

But killing Loras who by now lost EVERYTHING that had meaning to him (Renly, his mad fighting skills and his looks) is like drowning a puppy. Think about it: if GRRM wanted Loras dead, he would have killed him off instead of just wounding and disfiguring. I sense a plotline, bb.

Drowning a puppy, lol, truth. A plotline of more angst and misery tho...don't know if I want. I swear these books will break me. Crossing my fingers that the peach does mean something/there will be a resurrection.

Uhm, do you want me to spoiler you straight away on July 12th if Loras is okay?

I'm planning to set up a read-along post ehre where this is the first thing I'm going to tell everyone in the biggest font that livejournal can handle lol. Under the cut, obv.

Yes, that would be awesome! We can celebrate/weep together!

AND POST GIFS OF OUR FEELINGS. Because no way reading that book would be underwhelming.

I'm very good at that!

PLEASE GRRM LET ME USE THIS GIF ON 7/12.

Idk I really don't think GRRM would drag Loras's death out. He has plans for him, big or small. I am really fucking nervous but it's obvious that GRRM just likes to kick characters in their unique soft and sensitive places and see how they deal with it. I don't think he liked Renly as a character but I think he does like Loras.

Also, Jaime lost a hand and he's been kind of a reluctant life sensei to our bb Loras. Or it could be my pet Sansa plot that so wouldn't happen but it would be amazing if it did.

I should dial back hope :) I hope it doesn't sound like I'm bitching about GRRM tho, it's out of love. The body count is one of the major series attraction, to me anyway. JUST PLEASE DON'T KILL ANY MOAR CHARACTERS THAT WE LOVE.

sorry, the original pic was so massive...

Where did your post gooooo? I was just saying that I don't use Twitter because I don't have anything interesting to say in 140 chars but I love it when celebs have real Twitters like Finn, not the ones handled by ghostwriters. I have a Twitter just to follow them but I cringe at people who live for constantly tweeting at celebs about absolutely every breath they take. Idk, I like boundaries.

LOVE TUMBLR THO. I would never leave LJ for it because I find the quality of communication is much better when people actually talk to each other. However, pretty shiny pics are pretty and shiny.
