Wait, you want a straight answer from a -Martell-? *shifty-eyes* Nah, just kidding, I'll elaborate. *grins*
*snerk* Seriously though, thanks for answering. I love debating this sort of stuff with other book fans. ^_^
One of the things that struck me was your utter condemnation of Theon while wanting Sandor, of all people, to get together with Sansa, yeah. [......] All the same, to base a vote on that would be silly, because as someone else said, most people have a tendency to forgive the wrongs of their favourite characters in books, and what we'll forgive in a -character- isn't necessarily anything we would tolerate in a living, breathing person.
See, this is why I asked. I knew one of the points was my condemnation of Theon, but I wasn't sure which character I was being too forgiving of. I was wondering if perhaps I might also be slightly bias towards Dany and Jon and not see all their flaws. You're right though, maybe I am too fogiving of Sandor, but like you said, most people have a tendency to forgive the wrongs of their favourite characters in books. (*couch Severus Snape *cough*) I think its probably a trait I have in real life too, I'm probably more forgiving of those I'm closest to; especially my son. Little guy could get away with anything as long as he grins cutely at me! ^_^
So, since my original impression had been slightly more on the Tully side, that's where I put you.
Well, that makes sense. As you said yourself, it seems silly to vote for a house simply based on that. ^_^
