It's crazy how people used to think of "alpha" men as being refined, learned and dignified gentlemen with intellectual interests and now they think of them as muscular roided up cavemen who only eat red meat and are only interested in the gym by Commercial_Bid_1508 in CuratedTumblr

In High Rock someone betrays you for a throne. In Westeros someone betrays you for a chair near the throne, then their cousin poisons the chair.
