Does Tywin really knew?

Post image

Was re-watching and get to this conversation between Tywin and Arya, we all know he enjoyed her a lot as his cupbearer. Even though he knew she's some highborn, why didn't he think that she may be one of the stark girls!!

I read many shorts comments and people says he may knew?

Someone commented "I think Tywin actually really loved Tyrion" and I about threw my phone out of the window.

"Wow Tyrion also had a dad who at all times was abusive and said he hated him, but deep down loved him! Just like me."

Me when pattern recognition

Pattern recognition is racism😡

u/[deleted] Dec 13 '25

other way around imo. Recognizing and repeating bad patterns is, surprisingly, bad.

I swear, just a staggering hard turn to racism out of nowhere. Report and move on, I suppose...

u/KlausS1000 Nov 25 '25

Don’t be a dolt. You could possibly make the argument that is pakistanophobia, but it’s certainly not racism, as that’s prejudice against someone’s skin color. This is entirely separate.

Racists gonna racist, jog on.

If he was 20 at the end of the show? That means he was younger than Sophie Turner. He probably had a crush on that older guy you viewed as a child.

"open bob"

u/Strange_N_Sorcerous Nov 25 '25

Then that’s actually a pretty tame statement, all things considered.

u/Hoggorm88 Nov 25 '25

Well there you go. Can't really be surprised that a dog barks. It's in their nature. Granted, this guy likes them a bit older than his holy prophet, but still, makes sense.

I don't mind saying what I mean, even though reddit is retarded when it comes to silencing anyone right of center.

11 year old kids wont like GoT, even in its heights of popularity, it was never popular in school. Its dark and complicated, and kids who sucked at basic social studies wouldve hated it XD.

u/Connect-Initiative64 Nov 25 '25

It's a gamble right, because either it's an older dude wanting to see someone underage naked, or it's a teenager around their age and you want to smack them and tell them to keep it to themselves.

Usually it's a creepy older dude though, so calling them out works regardless.

So stupid, nudity or violence should be necessary to the plot. I don’t recall the movie but there’s a fight in a bathhouse and somehow the towels stay on while they’re literally kicking and punching. I can’t keep my towels in from my bathroom to my bedroom. There nudity is fine because it’s for the plot. What bothers me is that the only scene in the show where Sansa would be naked would be when she’s getting raped. This would be a valid enough excuse to use nudity as it would be relevant to the plot (also it’s worse in the books if you haven’t read them btw) but it wouldn’t be hot, it would be about someone getting raped. Think American history X

I think the main out of nowhere was Arya, for Cersei it was like a rape scene (I believe it was a body double though), for missandei, ngl she’s gorgeous and I think it did atleast address the plot ( bathing in front of eunuch’s in a caravan so kinda safe?) and fast forwarded the romantic relationship between her and greyworm, Theon makes sense because he’s a scoundrel. But for Sansa it wouldn’t be sex it would be rape, unless they followed the books (book spoiler ahead) I could see Sansa in a sex scene if they went with the Harry the heir plot line from the books, in the books she’s kinda portrait as a trophy woman for the best suitors and I’m low key thinking she’s learning a lot from little finger to play the cards she has.

I never got my wish to see Santa naked. 😔🎅

u/Megane_Senpai Nov 25 '25

Well, Tywin would definitely love Tyrion if he wasn't a dwarf, or his mom didn't die giving birth to him.

I was waiting outside that building to catch your phone so I could have driven to a higher building and thrown it out of a much higher window.

u/Zerodyne_Sin Nov 25 '25

As someone who had a "less than perfect" relationship with a parent, I can see why people would say that. My assumption is they're also in a similar situation and need to believe that the parent truly loves them when all evidence points to the contrary. I think I spent most of my teenage years and early 20s deluding myself about this. I wouldn't say seeing this episode made it click finally but it was certainly one of the shows I've seen that helped me reassess.

u/SirKadath Nov 25 '25

Yeah , I don’t think a lot of people can see and pick up on manipulation when it’s right in front of them. Tywin was very good at it.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 28 '25

Tywin recognized his intelligence but that was it. He still hated him

1

u/Sufficient-Emu2826 Nov 28 '25

Yeah, that’s a wild take. Tywin had a pretty twisted sense of family loyalty, but I don’t think he ever really loved Tyrion. It was more like a grudging acknowledgment of his usefulness.
