omg yes okay first of all rhaegar's smallcouncil Has to slip in a "when will you foster/betroth your natural son, your grace?" every meeting. and it's not that those lords Want to foster/marry jon into their families, it's more that they see him (and his womb 🤤) as a threat!

Cersei tripping balls over Margaery is never not funny- that and her internal pitching about the maids shrinking her dresses deliberately while she's getting shamed IN SMALLCOUNCIL for being a souse.

“And if these councillors are playing us false…” Tyrion knew. “Spikes,” he sighed. “Heads. Walls.” #TywinLannister #SmallCouncil #TyrionLannister

“What sort of counsel are they giving Joffrey when he lurches from one folly to the next?” #TywinLannister #SmallCouncil #JoffreyBaratheon

“I blame those jackanapes on the council—our friend Petyr, the venerable Grand Maester, and that cockless wonder Lord Varys.” #TywinLannister #SmallCouncil #PetyrBaelish #GrandMaesterPycelle #Varys

His mouth tightened. “‘Commands’ us, mind you. In the name of king and council.” #TywinLannister #CerseiLannister #HouseLannister #Commands #JoffreyBaratheon #SmallCouncil

Frog-faced Lord Slynt sat at the end of the council table wearing a black velvet doublet and a shiny cloth-of-gold cape, nodding with approval every time the king pronounced a sentence. #JanosSlynt #SmallCouncil #JoffreyBaratheon

Nine cases out of ten seemed to bore him; those he allowed his council to handle, squirming restlessly while Lord Baelish, Grand Maester Pycelle, or Queen Cersei resolved the matter. #JoffreyBaratheon #SmallCouncil #PetyrBaelish #GrandMaesterPycelle #CerseiLannister

He gave an irritated shrug. “Perhaps they never got my letter. Aemon sent two copies, with his best birds, but who can say?” #JeorMormont #Letters #SmallCouncil #KingsLanding #MaesterAemon #Ravens

Ser Barristan had been the Old Bear’s best hope, Jon remembered; if he had fallen, what chance was there that Mormont’s letter would be heeded? #BarristanSelmy #JeorMormont #JonSnow #EddardStark #NightsWatch #SmallCouncil #RoyalCourt

In a rhaewin au where laenor ran away so Laena could be lady of the tides I think princess Rhaenyra should be allowed to relax from smallcouncil stresses by shoving her face into consort harwins tits

“Do you have some business for king and council, Sansa?” the queen asked from the council table. “I do.” #CerseiLannister #SansaStark #JoffreyBaratheon #SmallCouncil

Not until the pages had closed the great oak-and-bronze doors behind him did Sansa hear sounds again: soft voices, uneasy stirrings, the shuffle of papers from the council table. #RedKeep #BarristanSelmy #SansaStark #RoyalCourt #SmallCouncil

“I thank you, my lords…but I spit upon your pity.” #BarristanSelmy #SmallCouncil

“The council has determined that Ser Jaime Lannister will take your place as the Lord Commander of Sworn Brothers of the White Swords.” #CerseiLannister #SmallCouncil #JaimeLannister #LordCommanderOfTheKingsguard #Kingsguard #JoffreyBaratheon

“It is the wish of king and council that you lay down your heavy burden.” “My…burden? I fear I…I do not…” #CerseiLannister #BarristanSelmy #JoffreyBaratheon #SmallCouncil #Kingsguard

“Lastly, in these times of treason and turmoil, with our beloved Robert so lately dead, it is the view of the council that the life and safety of King Joffrey is of paramount importance…” #GrandMaesterPycelle #RobertBaratheon #SmallCouncil #JoffreyBaratheon

As Lord Slynt took his place, Grand Maester Pycelle resumed. #JanosSlynt #SmallCouncil #GrandMaesterPycelle
