For example, my mom was widowed when I was young, so every Catelyn chapter in ACOK onwards was like a stab in the chest.

Also, I'm an only child and read the series in 2013, way before meeting my wife. The Baratheon brothers were my favorites.

After meeting my wife, I could understand the scope of their tragedy. My wife had to basically raise her youngest sister. Just then I could grasp how betrayed Stannis must have felt when Renly sided with the Tyrells (and a rereading made me finally fully understand how much he misses his brothers).

Sorry if this comes across as too personal. I just find it curious how certain experiences can give you a different perspective on what happens in the books.

I'd like to begin by saying I never watched the series (save a few random episodes on a fuzzy TV, perks of being from LatAm).

So I was watching the first episode (like, right now) and I just remembered that Dragonstone is full of gargoyles... and my mind raced.

If you have watched the series, do you think this could work? Maybe Aegon V or Stannis summons them while trying to bring back dragons? How would they interact with the cast and politics? (I assume they are used to some savagery, considering the first enemies they face are Vikings, so they have probably seen pillaged towns.) By the way, if there's content from Gargoyles with more violence, like comics or fanfics, feel free to share them.

Thanks in advance!
