What I’d like to know: Who is Sandor’s random groupie?

that’s what I was wondering. (his squire maybe?)

Ha!  My sister emailed me about this while she was watching the episode: “Who was with the hound??  DID HE GET A FRIEND???”

I was thinking squire too, but the idea that he has a groupie, or literally only one friend (who isn’t a Stark girl) is amusing to me…

His armorer? The man who just sold him Stranger?

We have decided his name is Brad. Brad Lannister. Why so sullen, Brad?

Fine, it’s official. Sandor has one friend and his name is Brad, and Brad doesn’t complain when Sandor tells the same stories about growing up with Gregor all the time.

“And then Gregor set his pony on fire—”

“—while he was on it.”

“I WAS THE ONE TELLING THE STORY SHUT THE FUCK UP AND DRINK.”

No, little Brad. I wouldn’t hurt you

Also whenever people refer to Sandor as the Hound or dog…

BUT he  been called hound is part of the character… He says a lot of times how he doesnt look like a Sir, that he is a hound. A men who just obey and doesnt care about the tourneys and others fluffy-sir-staff. He also tells about the others been like him, but not just show themselves like “a hound”

SPOILERS FOR A FEAST FOR CROWS (book 4)

Hmmm, I’m going to try to rephrase.

That’s very true! The persona is very important to the character! Yet, over the course of the series, the books refer to him less and less often as “the Hound” and more and more often as “Sandor Clegane,” as he makes the transition from non-sympathetic character to sympathetic character.

By the time A Feast for Crows rolls around, “the Hound” persona is abandoned by Sandor Clegane and taken up like a mantle by two other characters, the (horrible) Rorge and the (less horrible) Lem Lemoncloak. At that point in the series, Sandor is never referred to as “the Hound” except (if I remember correctly) by a few characters (like Jaime and Sansa) who are unaware of his transition away from that persona. The narration of the book itself never! calls Sandor Clegane “the Hound” after the Elder Brother makes his speech about the Hound being dead and Sandor Clegane being at peace.

This all happens very subtly and a lot of people understandably don’t care or notice it happening. So when I say it bothers me (only a little) that people call him “The Hound” after finishing the series, it’s only because I’m overly pedantic. It doesn’t bother me when people refer to him as The Hound in the earlier books, especially when they’re referring to that part of his persona.

But… from an emotional point of view, because I’m so attached to this character, I would rather call him by his real name and not by the name that he named himself in order to survive emotionally in a world where butchering children is a thing that is expected of him.

Basically, we have the character (Sandor Clegane) and we have a persona (the Hound) that is important, but decisively not inseparable from the character.

I’m just like

HIS NAME IS SANDOR HE IS A MAN NOT A DOG OMFG STOP OKAY HE HAS ALLOWED PEOPLE TO DEHUMANIZE HIM BECAUSE OF DEEP-SEATED SELF-LOATHING AND DEPRESSION AND A CHILDHOOD OF ABUSE

HIS NAME

IS SANDOR MOTHERFUCKING CLEGANE

THE HOUND IS DEAD AND BURIED.

I have problems. 

are you me?????

This is exactly why my tag for him is “Sandor Clegane” and I barely ever use the phrase “the Hound”

HE IS NOT AN ANIMAL OR A BEAST. THIS VERY DISTINCTION IS WHAT A GOOD PORTION OF A FEAST FOR CROWS WAS ABOUT.

IT MADE ME ACTUALLY MAD THAT THE ONLY PERSON IN THE PRODUCTION OF THE TV SHOW WHO REMEMBERED SANDOR’S HUMAN NAME WAS THE AUTHOR OF THE BOOKS. IT’S LIKE THE SHOW RUNNERS THINK HE’S ACTUALLY THE HOUND AND THAT’S ALL HE IS TO THEM AND IT BOTHERS ME. 

It runs up against what Sandor’s story is about (and I like to think I know what his story is about more than D&D do). They cut out all the stuff about his self-identity in the show, but it is incredibly important to me, maybe the most important thing to me in the whole series.

Let’s all pause for a moment and acknowledge the fact that the dude in a funny hat is actually probably fairly tall, like over 6 feet.

Sandor Post

Okay, I slept on it - now I feel like I can write out how I feel about Sandor in this episode.

If you hold that Sandor was someone Joffrey looked up to then this would’ve been devastating to him.

^This. Honestly, I think the way Jack Gleeson played it was perfect. Watch his face crumble after Sandor says “Fuck the King”. I think the actors totally understand and acknowledge the dynamic of the Hound as a surrogate father figure to Joffrey, so to watch them play the scene like this was wonderful.

sketchbook stuff- Sandor “The Hound” Clegane

Anonymous asked: So how great would it be if Sandor had to take care of a feral Rickon? I really want to read this.

SPOILERS FOR A STORM OF SWORDS (BOOK 3) IN THIS POST

Thinking about it, it would probably be really similar to his road trip with Arya - lots of blanket burritos, but tied with chains instead of ropes. Shaggydog would eat Sandor alive in a fit of irony, bringing my “Song of Dogs and Wolves” to an awkward end.

But really, by my decree, he must travel at one point or another with all of Ned Stark’s issue. He’s got the sisters out of the way, now I want to see him meet (and be the most reluctant of bros with) Jon and Bran and Rickon. He collects Starks like lint to a static-charged balloon, I just want his collection to be complete.

It probably makes me a bad person, but I mourned the Red Wedding in large part because it denied me the opportunity for Sandor to meet Catelyn and Robb at that point in the series. I was really looking forward to it more than I’d ever looked forward to anything - it was the only time Sandor ever expounded on his wishes for the future. It was the only time Sandor ever said anything hopeful. I just wanted his wishes to come true for him, for him to be a lordling, to serve an honorable master. But I suppose that going well would have run the opposite direction of where GRRM was going with the theme of Sandor’s character arc (let alone this whole series), so…

Also, it would have been this Tully/Stark/Clegane sitcom in the Riverlands. It would have been utterly fantastic. Thank god people have already written fic about it to sate my curiosity.
