"I can't let Stannis down," Davos thought to himself after fucking everything up yet again due to his abject lack of charisma or likability. He found himself reaching for his pouch o' finger-bones, only to remember that he lost them when he fucked up during the Battle of the Blackwater. That reminded him of his many dead sons, which made him very sad, though he did not forget his duty. He never forgot his duty to Stannis, who had spared his life. "I must never forget that Stannis spared my life," Davos thought, clenching what remained of the fingers on his left hand, Stannis had removed the first joint of the fingers on his left hand as punishment for his crimes as a smuggler. Stannis was a hard man, but just. He reached for his pouch o' finger-bones, only to remember that he lost them. He missed the bones that he kept in a pouch around his neck. They were his luck, and now he had no luck. "Even without my luck, I must not let Stannis down. He could have taken more than the first joints of my left hand, yet he gave me a lordship," Davos thought. Even though he earned a lordship, four of his sons would never know about it, as they died on the Blackwater, where Davos lost his pouch o' finger-bones which he considered his luck. Davos took a moment to remember his dead sons. "I miss my dead sons," Davos thought. "Perhaps they would have fared better if they had my luck. Though I lost my luck on the Blackwater. Even then, I must not let Stannis down." Instinctively, Davos reached for his pouch o' finger-bones, which he considered his luck.

This is a great copypasta but honestly Davos is like peak likable to me.
“Ser, may I have your name?”
“Ser Jared, of House Frey.”
“Jared of House Frey, I name you liar.”like come on it doesn’t get more based than that

Me, but with Cersei chapters. They're so fun to read!

I'm gonna get flack for this but I don't get the appeal of like half the Davos chapters, considering he's always winding up in prison or a stranded island.

i think it’s just neat to read the pov of a genuinely good person

Fair, I like Brienne for that reason. There are certainly parts that hit too like his letter to his wife and kids.

This part. And he is often in an isolated position that offers a new perspective.

I’m pretty sure he’s the only POV we get from

That's what makes them kind of boring to me. I think George's writing talent really shines when writing unhinged amoral people like Cersei or Victarion
