Today I discovered that a lot of people actually dislike Ros.
And my reaction was:
I ADORE Ros. Like. I don’t even know where to begin. I get that she wasn’t a character in the books and that not only did they add her and give her a name but they gave her crazy screen time, but I think that it’s a good character.
“She’s just a whore,” you say, but that’s half the beauty of it. I mean, Tyrion fucks so many nameless women and all you get are, ‘she had freckles’ or ‘she had huge tits’ and then here you have this glorious character who is ‘just a whore,’ when really whores are such a huge part of the culture.
So we get Shae, right? But she’s sort of a freelance whore. Like, Ros is a regular working girl. She works in a brothel, and then when she hears the money is in KL, she packs up and goes to work in that brothel. And just the little snippets of her relationship with Theon, and then that scene with Maester Pycelle (oh the lawls don’t get me started I was sobbing) really show that she is ‘a whore,’ but there is so much more to consider about her.
I mean, she’s just like all the other strong women that are in the books. She does what she needs to do, and though she’s not caught up in any of the intrigue, she is fucking EVERYBODY INVOLVED. And we saw how Maester Pycelle was chatting with her, though he is senile and said nothing of importance, other people probably talk to her, too. And she seems like a smart girl. Just because she’s a whore doesn’t mean she isn’t a person with a backstory and a life.
I think that she has such potential. I could write endless fics about this woman, and I don’t think that she is a poor character at all.
I AM PERSONALLY ENDLESSLY INTRIGUED.
