I just have a head!canon of Loras running into Gendry and being taken with how much he looks like Renly, but it doesn't really work with the show. But I love both Gendry and Renly on the show, so...

Roxy87 · 09-03-2012, 04:58 PM

Yeah, that is a drawback. Moments like those can't really happen now, even the canon ones. When Ned was able to look at Gendry and see that the he was Robert's son, that was only believable because we hadn't seen Robert when he was younger. But other physical resemblances throughout the series (Joffrey=Jaime, Jon=Ned, Myrcella=Cersei) can't work.

Love that gif BTW

And what do you guys think of these for the OP?

Natasha Romanoff · 09-04-2012, 10:53 AM

I'd love that to happen as well but

Love those, Roxy!

The art is perfect! I love the cast choices for Mya and Edric.

I think of all the Baratheons in the show, Gendry is the only one who fits perfectly into the description given in the books, I look at him and I think this is how a Baratheon should look like.

Still, I don't mind if the other actors don't really have the Baratheon look, because they're all so good and I couldn't imagine any other actors playing the characters.

Nice art, great job!

Roxy87 · 09-07-2012, 11:30 PM

Thanks guys!

Added them to the OP.

Also, this:

@ too much time with Stannis.
I'm not sure what I feel about the Gendry/Arya thing though... she's too young.

**NOLA504** · 09-08-2012, 05:56 AM

Haha, funny gifset

karmabelle · 09-08-2012, 06:39 AM

Stannis' face in the last gif. I love those gifs about AU Baratheon reunions, it's sad it can't happen now.

That is one of the single most amazing arts I've ever scene

I'm just choosing to believe this is taking place when Arya is of an appropriate age

I know, it is sad. It's even sadder than with the Starks because at least we get to see them happy together for about ten minutes. We don't even get that with the Baratheons.

Ugh we barely got any interaction with them at all.

Oh my, that pic!

Roxy87 · 09-09-2012, 11:13 AM

I just can't get over that pic! :rotl:

Here's an old quote from Martin about the Baratheon brothers and their complicated relationship.

Quote:

“Q: We discussed whether Robert loved his brother Renly or not. […] I never envisioned their relationship as more than lukewarm. (Jaime said Robert hardly could stomach his brothers (plural form)). Which is correct?

A: There are many different kinds of love. Robert was dutiful toward his brothers, and no doubt loved them in a way… but he didn’t necessarily like them. His relations with Stannis were always prickly. Renly was the baby of the family, and spent little time in Robert’s company until he was old enough to come to court. I suspect Robert was fond of the boy, but not especially close to him.

Stannis always resented being given Dragonstone while Renly got Storm’s End, and took that as a slight… but it’s not necessarily true that Robert meant it that way. The Targaryen heir apparent had always been titled Prince of Dragonstone. By making Stannis the Lord of Dragonstone, Robert affirmed his brother’s status as heir (which he was, until Joff’s birth a few years later). Robert could just as lawfully retained both castles for his sons, and made Joffrey the Prince of Dragonstone and Tommen the Lord of Storm’s End. Giving them to his brothers instead was another instance of his great, but rather careless, generosity.”

Love that interview!

I love that bit about there are different kinds of love, even though it seemed like they aren't really close but it doesn't mean that Robert didn't love his brothers. Probably he didn't love them in the traditional way, but he had his own way of loving them.
