They have more backstory than a lot of GoT/TWD couples... so.... In comparison to who? And "so..." what? Logic doesn't change, not for either side. The ones you're apparently comparing them to I'm betting will more likely have a crossover of shippers of both, than people shipping ones with apparently little backstory but not Dany and Jon. People who don't ship Dany and Jon because of a lack of actual relationship won't ship other relationships for the same reasoning.

Yo chill, it's a sunday XD Other hookups like Yara/Ellaria, Sasha/Abraham, Tara/Denise, I'm actually quite glad they didn't get on in the beginning. That would have been too easy.

Yeah, I really don't appreciate the insinuation that I need to "chill", thanks. The day of the week has little to do with my opinion of something being stupid. I'm not fickle like that. Your couples are A) All different categories, (are you suggesting Yara and Ellaria are true love and have ever been presented as such?) B) Not massively shipped pairings... and for the reason that none of them were done well enough to be *it*, thus actually proving the point against Dany and Jon. Third? I don't ship any of those couples, and it was my "backstory" logic you tried to argue (people don't ship Dany and Jon for multiple reasons, the incest, perceived lack of chemistry, don't like either character etc etc) so in other words, pointing out other weak couples funnily enough doesn't make the original shit one any better. I also never said anything about me having issue with them not getting on at first, so I'll presume that's just your comment and nothing to do with what I said.

That Yara/Ellaria thing was just a hookup, hardly even a relevant point of comparison. As for TWD, the general awful show quality would just set the bar very low when anything is compared to it. So no, they have no backstory or chemistry. I won't waste energy fighting it or getting angry over it as it was inevitable, I just wish they cast better actors who had chemistry with each other to at least not let the pairing sink the quality of the show. But fuck, their little fandom is insufferable.

But fuck, their little fandom is insufferable. It's weird being in this little bubble of the squick level of it, but for the purposes of the story and to which end we need to get to, I'm just going to kick back, relax, and see where it gets me. Maybe some of it is that we have Westerosi Mass Transit Time-Space Travel so we'll need to just assume that most of the interpersonal, non-plot-related conversations went down behind the scenes :\ Again; I'm in the weird middle ground, maybe I'm too "casual" of a fan at this point, I dunno. UGH FIVE MINUTES???? I need some Littlefinger or Varys-level Time Skips rn.

Game of Thrones casting two young intriguing roles www.yahoo.com/entertainment/apos-game-thrones-apos-spoilers-153000323.htmlNORTHERN GIRL: "The first role we've learned about is for a Northern Girl. The character will be around age 8, but they are open to seeing actresses older than this, up to age 10. The role is described as being a straight-talking Northern-accented girl, someone remarkable for her dauntlessness and integrity. According to the write-up, she's been brought up in a family of soldiers and shares their fearlessness. The part is said to be a 'very nice stand-out part for a strong-minded young girl with a fighting spirit.' The role of the Northern Girl is currently set to shoot during the week commencing November 17th." BOY: "Game of Thrones is also searching for a Boy aged 8 – 12, with a physically fit and agile look, someone with a good, distinctive face. He's described as being from a poor background, a boy who has to fight to make his way in the world. The description we saw mentions that they need an actor who can 'completely own the scenes that he appears in,' hinting at multiple scenes. No coloring or height was noted, for what it's worth. The young actor is currently scheduled for filming the last week of November and the last week of December, but as always with Game of Thrones, things can change."
