Hullo there. So who else really wants Jaime or Tyrion to be the ones to kill Cersei. Therefore, to appropriately celebrate the coronation of our new Queen, I thought why not dedicate a couple polls on all of the interesting valonqars in our history. The little brother has a very curious place in our story, as they primarily drive the story forwards seeing that the elder usually ends up somehow killed. But regardless, elder brothers hold a special fatherly respect in many ways. Anyway, just to gauge the tastes of this community further, why not go ahead and pick your favorite little brother in our story.
Don't go for your favorite character, but instead for the favorite brother based on the relationship with his elder brother/sister. Also, I wanna get this done before the moving deadline, so I'll offer no commentary, only some quotes which do it far more justice than i could. So without further ado,
Ned :wolf:
"Brandon. Yes. Brandon would know what to do. He always did. It was all meant for Brandon. You, Winterfell, everything. He was born to be a King's Hand and father to queens. I never asked for this cup to to me."- Ned
"Brandon was different from his brother, wasn't he? He had blood in his veins instead of cold water."- Jaime
"The gallant fool"- Jon Arryn, regarding Brandon
"The honorable fool"- Robert, regarding Ned

Victarion :dragon_face:
"There is no wine so sweet as wine taken from a foe. One day I shall drink your wine, Crow’s Eye, and take from you all that you hold dear"- Victarion
"I beat her to death with mine own hands, but the Crow’s Eye killed her when he shoved himself inside her. I had no choice" - Victarion
"Euron's gifts are poisoned"- Victarion
"When Balon was wed, it was me who he sent to Harlaw to bring him back his bride. I led his longships into many a battle, and never lost but one. The first time Balon took a crown, it was me who sailed to Lannisport to singe the lion's tail. The second time, it was me he sent to skin the Young Wolf should he come howling home. What you'll get from me is more of what you got from Balon"- Victarion

Sandor :dog:
"Where other men dream of love, or wealth, or glory, this man Sandor Clegane dreamed of slaying his own brother, a sin so terrible it makes me shudder just to speak of it. Yet that was the bread that nourished him, the fuel that kept his fires burning. Ignoble as it was the hope of seeing his brother's blood upon his blade was all this sad and angry creature lived for ... and even that was taken away when Prince Oberyn of Dorne stabbed Ser Gregor with a poisoned spear."
"Pressed my face to the fire like it was a juicy mutton chop. Pain was bad, smell was worse, but the worst was my brother that did it, and my father who protected him. Told everyone my bedding caught fire. You think you're alone in the world."
Stannis :tomato:
"We all know what my brother would do. Robert would gallop up to the gates of Winterfell alone, break them with his warhammer, and ride through the rubble to slay Roose Bolton with his left hand and the Bastard with his right. I am not Robert. But we will march, and we will free Winterfell, or die in the attempt"- Stannis
"That requires stealing a leaf from Robert's book. Not that Robert ever read one."- Stannis
'Robert could piss in a cup and men would call it wine, I offer them cold clear water and they squint in suspicion and mutter to themselves about how queer it tastes"- Stannis
Cersei: And Stannis has always felt he was cheated of Storm's End. The ancestral seat of House Baratheon, his by rights... if you knew how many times he came to Robert singing that same dull song in that gloomy aggrieved tone he has. When Robert gave the place to Renly, Stannis clenched his jaw so tight I thought his teeth would shatter.
Tyrion: He took it as a slight.
Cersei: It was meant as a slight

Renly :rose:
"Robert was the true steel. Stannis is pure iron, black and hard and strong, yes, but brittle, the way iron gets. He’ll break before he bends. And Renly, that one, he’s copper, bright and shiny, pretty to look at but not worth all that much at the end of the day"- Donal Noye
Stannis: That you shall never have.
Renly: You served Robert, why not me?
Stannis: Robert was my elder brother. You are the younger.
Renly: Younger, bolder, and far more comely ...
Stannis: ... and a thief and a usurper besides.
Renly: The Targaryens called Robert usurper. He seemed to be able to bear the shame. So shall I
"What has Renly ever done to earn a throne? He sits in council and jests with Littlefinger, and at tourneys he dons his splendid suit of armor and allows himself to be knocked off his horse by a better man. That is the sum of my brother Renly, who thinks he ought to be king"- Stannis
"The youngest of Lord Steffon's three sons had grown into a man bold but heedless, who acted from impulse rather than calculation. In that, as in so much else, Renly was like his brother Robert, and utterly unlike Stannis"
Renly: She came to my bed a willing maiden
Stannis: In your bed she's likely to stay that way
Renly: Salt and smoke; is he a ham?
"Only Renly could vex me so with a peach......I did love him, I swear I will go to my grave thinking about that peach"- Stannis
Tyrion :monkey_face:
"She ought to offer her c*nt. Best part of her for best part of me."- Tyrion
"I have never liked you, Cersei, but you were my own sister, so I never did you harm. You've ended that. I will hurt you for this. I don't know how yet, but give me time. A day will come when you think yourself safe and happy, and suddenly your joy will turn to ashes in your mouth, and you'll know the debt is paid"- Tyrion
"You poor stupid blind crippled fool. Must I spell out every little detail for you. Very well. Cersei is a lying whore......it is true what they say about me. Yes, I killed your vile son."- Tyrion
"You love your children, it's your one redeeming quality, that and your cheekbones"- Tyrion
"I am Cersei, the famous mustached whore of Westeros"- Hugo Hill
"I made the bald man cry, into the turtle stew, which I do believe my sister ate, or I hope she did'- Tyrion
"He killed my mother.......It does not matter, Cersei told us. Everyone says he will die soon, I hope they are right. He should not have lived so long."- Oberyn
"He named you as his champion. He knew you would ride, day and night, to come fight for him. Are you gonna fight for him now?"- Bronn

Jaime :cat2:
"Jaime and I are more than brother and sister. We are one person in two bodies. We shared a womb together. He came into this world holding my foot, our old maester said. When he is in me, I feel... whole"- Cersei
"Jaime, sweetling, I have known you since you were a babe at Joanna's breast. You smile like Gerion and fight like Tyg and there's some of Kevan in you, else you would not wear that cloak... but Tyrion is Tywin's son, not you"- Gemma
So that was part 1. If you got a lil bro in your heart, make sure to give him some love, and see y'all next time on a brand new amino.

Hope one day they air to see what the show could have been like
Reply to: Kuntkinte
Yea, different Dany, different Cat. Would just not be the same show anymore, apparently it was too confusing
Oh no this is so hard to choose :sob:
I honestly am totally taken aback by the amount of votes Jaime got. I just naturally assumed either Stannis or Tyrion would sweep it since we saw those relationships blossom in front of us, but I guess the final shot of queen Cersei left a mark on us
Rally to your king:
