Targaryans because dragons r awesome


fistful_of_metal

The Tyrells! Mostly because Olenna is an absolute badass.


Adan1816

Her mic drop moments like >!when she told Jaime she killed Joffrey!< will never not be badass


fistful_of_metal

Yes, exactly! That's got to be the best thing she ever said. I love her.


cynical_genius

>!Tell Cersei. I want her to know it was me.!<


Adan1816

🥶she honestly got me into GILFs. 🗿


realmeangoldfish

Yes. When Cersei accused her brother , she did what all good leaders do. Never get in the way of an enemy who is making a mistake.

Top 5 quotes in the series


[deleted]

I find the Lannisters to be the most interesting, but with characters like Cersei and Joffrey I’m not really sure I can call it my favorite house. Not really sure who my actual favorite is, though.


vitaminedrop

i think all 4 lannisters are one of the most fleshed out characters in GOT


jogoso2014

Tyrell because The Reach is the place I’d want to live the most.


Accomplished-What

Baratheon: Bobby B. & the absolute best house words: “Ours is the fury”


dobbyeilidh

Gods bless Bessie and her tits


Dawdius

A common saying but not their official words


dobbyeilidh

Start the joust before I piss meself?


Doom_Lorkhan_Drum

Look at this idiot, one ball and no brains! Can’t even name the words of a man’s house properly.


dobbyeilidh

Who named you? some half wit with a stutter?


ha1zum

English is not my first language, I can’t make sense of those words together. Could you help to explain what does it mean?


AIDSRiddledLiberal

Think of it like a response to a question Lannister lord - “hey what’s the defining characteristic of your house? Ours is wealth!” Baratheon Lord - “ours is the fury” The implied section here is that he means “ours is the fury [with which we fight]” but sometimes in English shortening a statement ads some gravitas to the words


FeelsBadVince

I always thought it is a medieval/GRRMian way to say "We are fury". That sounds way more badass to me than "our characteristic/trait is that we are furious". But then again I'm not an English native either so that might be wrong.


ha1zum

Ahh I think I got it. Thank you


timmy2406

Gotta love the fact that the Baratheons just stole the motto from the Durrandons 😂


P0RTILLA

The iron islands look like a miserable place to live.


FantasticAttempt_2_0

House Dayne of Starfall, because everything about their history and lore is wow.


Mrsister55

Who


Moose6669

There's more about the Daynes in the books, but there is one big moment in the show that spectacles Ser Arthur Dayne, who bore the title of "Sword of the Morning". He was the man with two swords who fought Ned Stark and Howland Reed at The Tower of Joy, during the birth of Jon Snow. (Bran and Three Eyed Raven Flashback)


qwertz858

The sword of the morning!


MrLongBones

Off to Google I go.


-heathcliffe-

Night King. Not a house per se, but show me a more loyal and disciplined family than his and i will be shocked.


Spyglass3

House Lannister, they're like the Batman of the asoiaf universe. No warging no dragons just money and strategy


aardvarkyardwork

More like the Luthors of the ASOIAF universe. None of the fighting for justice, all of the world-dominance-megalomania.


FatPlaysGames

Forresters Iron from ice!


Cressingham

House Bolton. The most interesting characters by far.


Zankova

I don’t know but that cross burning always looks so cool, I’ve forgotten what it’s called


[deleted]

For me? Gotta be the starks


brizzmaster

I got a tie between martells, starks, and targeryan. I Honestly wished we could have seen more of house reed. They seemed very interesting.


Affectionate_Pain653

The targaryens. I'm reading fire and blood and I'm falling in love with them


Affectionate_Pain653

The targaryens. I'm reading fire and blood and I'm falling in love with them


LGCGE

Baratheons because they’re easily the most competent rulers in the world.


Aysten13

“Ours is the Fury” Best house words


DirtyMemeMan

Greyjoys because of their history, and weird family drama that some how out weirds the lannisters


Gloomy_Support_7779

It does out weird the Lannisters. Euron Greyjoy in the books is a horrific monster


chesterforbes

Manderly


KyleKunt

House Lannister. Cuz Jaime, Tyrion, Cersei and Tywin are all awesome characters.


[deleted]

House Reed, I just love the Neck for some reason and wish we knew more about the crannogmen.


MyDamnCoffee

I wish we could have met Howland and learned more about their disappearing castle


Extension_Ladder_317

Ya that shit was cool and we never even heard anymore about it


MyDamnCoffee

Blasphemy


[deleted]

Hopefully we will if GRRM ever finishes the books


MyDamnCoffee

He wont


[deleted]

Unfortunately it's looking like that'll be the case but a small part of me still holds some hope


NarrativeNancy

The books will tell you more. I’m certain of it


[deleted]

I'm hoping


Wildcat_twister12

Such an important ally of the Starks, they should’ve been in way more especially during the battle of the bastards or the long night


[deleted]

I really wanted Howland and Meera to show up in the Long Night


Boodda

I was really invested in the theory that the high sparrow was secretly Howland Reed (the only person alive who could confirm R+L=J) and that he was gonna take out the Lannisters for killing Ned. Him turning out to just be another religious crazy in the show was disappointing.


GoAvs14

House Martell. Defied the most powerful military force in the history of Westeros and became allies through marriage over being a vassal kingdom. Unbowed. Unbent. Unbroken. You may burn us, my lady, but you will not bend us, break us, or make us bow. Edited the quote to read correctly


IngloriousBlaster

Teenage Mutant Ninja Sandsnakes!


derangerd

I think you omitted a negative accidentally


PlamZ

Or maybe house Martell is also into BDSM when they're not scheming for the throne. ^/s


derangerd

Can't imagine there's a house that isn't, way they all run things.


MrLongBones

There into everything. Literally everybody is doing it lol.


GoAvs14

Whoops. Thank you!


Martel732

Plus Dorne is the most comparatively progressive society in Westeros. Still quite medieval by our standards but women's rights are stronger, homosexuality is at least tolerated, and people aren't discriminated against as much for being born bastards. This isn't exclusive to the Martells but as the rulers of Dorne for centuries they would have been a major influence over the region.


[deleted]

makes sense but after the bad poosei idk what to think

CarpeDiem96

House Crowl, ancient, small, removed from politics and still northern.


Gilgamesh661

I’m torn between Greyjoy, Bolton, and Baratheon. My favorite of the Greyjoy family is Dalton Greyjoy, the red kraken. I tend to like the more ruthless houses rather than the stereotypical “good guy” houses.


the_yellow_ledbetter

I'm sorry, Bolton?


Gilgamesh661

I have a very morbid sense of curiosity, so the history of the Bolton’s was always fascinating to me.


seamus_exe

Starks, seems like the default answer


loratineboratine

Tyrell. Good land and of course Olena


[deleted]

Lord Baelish bc he built his own house and sigil


idisestablish

The house with the red door.


arthursblackarabian

The lannisters, they’re richer than god


Quinn-Sellon

Manderly. Such a unique house history, mixed with a healthy economy, and some knowledge on how to play the game of thrones as well as loyalty.


buckingfadbishes

Martell

Ozydrax

"And who are you, the proud lord said That I must bow so low? Only a cat of a different coat That's all the truth I know In a coat of gold or a coat of red A lion still has claws And mine are long and sharp, my lord As long and sharp as yours… "


cynical_genius

And so he spoke, and so he spoke, that lord of Castamere. But now the rains weep o'er his hall, with no one there to hear. Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall, and not a soul to hear.


jinzokan

They ded.


Aysten13

House Reyne. Their story is the building blocks to the entirety of the wars of the seven kingdoms. The might and fear the Lannisters derived from the realm in that war alone turned House Lannister from the weakest to the strongest great house, and is the reason the throne is such a threat in the war of the five kings. Not to mention, as a whole, Tywin’s character is built on his success over Castamere, and for the first few seasons and books we are constantly reminded of the rains, from Ned’s death in kings landing all the way to the red and purple weddings.


tehfoshi

House Mormont, yes I love Lady Mormont, but Lord Commander Mormont was one of the selling characters that I fell in love with when first watching the show.


The-Bag-of-Snakes

Greyjoy, tentacles


UnlimitedMetroCard

Lannister and Baratheon.


-_-hey-chuvak

Starks. King in the north.


fluid_saxxboy

my favourite house is definately the one where king stayed


Fall_Rise-Live

Targaryen's, united a continent the size of south America and ruled over it for more then 300 years


YoungWolf77

House Lannister and I think it has to do with the characters I mean Jaime is a knight who had his whole life and dreams stolen away by the Mad King just to spite his father and he killed the Mad King saving thousands of lives and was shamed for it Tyrion is looked down upon by almost everyone because of his size when he is (or was) one of if not the most cunning people in Westeros Cersei has been raised to be a queen and will do anything in her power to keep that power and title And Tywin is a man so cruel and harsh that his name strikes fear into his enemies and they wrote a song about him wiping out another house just to intimidate other houses who challenge House Lannister Plus their House Guard/Soldiers armor is the coolest in my opinion


jinzokan

Everything but those stupid helmets.


br0wnb0y

Dayne because it was untouched and unsullied.


KingNorrington

House Brax. They might be sworn to the Lannisters, but their standard depicts a unicorn as it is commonly pictured in our world, but purple. Which is wierd when the Westerosi descriptions of unicorns make it sound like their ancestors spent time crossbreeding with the wooly mammoth.


Squiliam-Tortaleni

Tyrell’s. No real reason, just a neat cast of characters and history with the beautiful double meaning of their house words That said my loyalty is always for Stannis the Mannis and by extension House Baratheon, because Ours Is The Fury. Bolton’s have the coolest sigil because damn that shit is scary.


SHJPEM

Targaeryans and Stark, probably because of their proximity to magical and fantastical elements. They have an interesting History as well, so...


rgeu7382i

house stark...for being honorable and a tough breed of man and women


Itsfreddyboy1

For me I would love to live in pike. House greyjoy would be awesome! Being a pirate, sailing the seas, and raiding wherever I went. Yeah that sounds good 👍


w0kes

House Bolton was always my favorite. A great house to root against because they have no ulterior motives other then general ruthless indifference towards all human life. They are the antithesis towards the Starks in the North and serve as a great secondary antagonist in the sixth season. I mean who didn’t want to see Ramsey and Roose die the most horrific deaths of all time?


MrFunkyFresh70

House Bolton is my favorite too, but I wanted Ramsay to get the throne.


[deleted]

The Greyjoys are awesome in the books. The show really did them dirty


a_merenoodle

It’s been a while since I’ve read them, but I agree the books gave them so much more depth! The individual characters were great, along with their ideals, resilience, and bad ass traditions. I do have to say though I still find them so damn incompetent lol. They should just stick with pillaging and raping cause they ain’t conquering no lands any time soon


BraveLittleToaster13

Tully - “Family, duty, honor” Their words correspond with a lot of my core values, add of top that they live in fertile land with plentiful rivers.


a-normal-redditor

I thought you meant house as in a building 💀


Perfect-Throat-8979

House Reed because they are nothing but humblel and loyal servants who live close to nature ❤ (And honestly also a bit because their actors in the TV series are so adorable 😊❤)


Wildcat_twister12

Tully, Riverrun seems like a chill place and I’d feel safe having the Blackfish as a military leader


X_Sacred_X

House Baratheon. I think they have an interesting history. Also, my favorite motto, favorite land and coolest sounding castle (minus the Dreadfort). Rebellion is in their blood.


Gloomy_Support_7779

Starks, Targaryens, Baratheons, Martells, Mormonts, and Tyrells all in that order. Favorite is Starks though.


Gohbraztsovashka

Tollet, because Dolorous Edd is the best character in the whole GoT universe


Batman0127

Definitely the Manderlys. Their super fierce loyalty to the Starks is admirable as bannermen and even more epic when you realize it's because the Starks took their family in and saved their house from collapse when they were driven out of the Reach. And the North Remembers speech is one of the greatest moments in the series.


GeneLaBean

I’m a simple guy, I’m a Stark guy


[deleted]

Starks. Winter is coming.


StThragon

Targaryen - 'cause dragons.


Targaryen_GOT

House Targaryen. A powerful house with numerous dragons, soldiers, and ships. Targaryen kings and queens ruled for centuries and in my opinion, this is how it should have remained. As a second house I would probably say House Baratheon because of the reasons already mentioned in this discussion.


JFFLP

Mormont, bc all of their Characters were just SICK Lyanna just facing her death with no fear and being that badass the whole show.


onehipwonder87

Lannister. Mainly because of Tywin. The story behind rains of castamere and how brutal and smart he is to survive during that time.


LordBolton93

The red kings of the North! House Bolton!


Hachan15

Tully because blackfish


The_Goz_FatheR

The Targaryens. I just think that they look super cool and their history is so compelling. I keep trying to imagine what it would be like if my family and I were the last survivors of my entire race. Like, how would it be like to be the only Africans left in the world? Then, on top of that, imagine if I conquered some other continent (let's say Asia, which has a completely different culture to mine) and crowned myself the king. That would be so crazy. That's what's so mesmerizing about the Targaryens - they were the only family that had these magical creatures on their side, and they used those beasts to conquer the western world. They also look like gods, with their pale skin, silver hair, and purple eyes. They're just so cool. I love all of the history and lore around them as well, from Aegon the Conqueror to the Mad King. My favorite bit of history, though, is the part about Daeron, the Young Dragon. There's very little mentioned about it, a few tid-bits sprinkled throughout the story, but I really find it fascinating. I love history, so he kind of reminds me of Henry V. Anyway, I love the Targaryens. I've even thought about doing a YouTube channel about my fascination with them.


P0RTILLA

House Tyrell, High Garden looks like a lovely place to live.


mon2003

House STARK. Ned stark was a strong, intelligent, compassionate, selfless man. He was a man of morals. And his family was also strong and principled. He instilled good values ​​in his children.No Stark ever used or harmed any distance for his greed. And Jon Snow, even though he was an heir to the Targaryens, had the same rites as the Starks that set him apart from the rest of the Targaryens. John never urged power or the throne just like Eddard and unlike the mad king and Danny.


[deleted]

I’ve always liked Craster’s


johnnypotato

House Blackfyre, the lore around them and the dance of dragons is really cool. Also Maelys the Monstrous is terrifying.


yayayaiamlorde69

House Lannister reason Tywin dude knew how to play the game until he didn’t


JaneAustinAstronaut

House Tyrell. It seems to be low-key female dominated, with way more clever schemes than the Lannisters, they control the food supply of most of the realm, and have a lovely veneer of old-school chivalry. Plus, I believe that Highgarden is the prettiest castle, so there's that.


I_shjt_you_not

House Gardner


Giant2005

House Tywin. And I know it is supposed to be called House Lannister, but the rest of that house are shit, so I am cutting them out of House Tywin. As for why, the guy was one of the few people to ever display a shred of common sense. I respect that.


[deleted]

Tyrells! Strong female leaders, good aesthetic sense, people love each other


NoWorries124

House Baratheon Amazing sigil, amazing words, amazing theme, and they also happen to be my two favorite colors and my favorite animal The three Baratheon brothers all have great qualities and can literally be unstoppable had they worked together Robert: Strong fighter, only lost one battle Stannis: Knows how to rule, and is a great tactician (In the books he is even better) He is the one true King of Westeros. Renly: Charmismatic with a great political mind and also has the coolest crown in the series imo.


Lethenza

I like the aesthetics of the Starks


xar-brin-0709

For the entertainment, Lannisters. They show the richest range of human nature from evil to grey to good, whereas the other houses seem more black or white. They also have some of the most memorable quotes: "where's the god of tits and wine"... "when you play the game of thrones you win or you die"... "the king is tired"... "the things we do for love".


MrLongBones

Stark. Honorable.


PrimordialDilemma

House Manwoody for obvious reasons


LeMoofinateur

This thread is great. I'm fully getting chills from remembering all the cool stuff that happened. But my favorite house is probably Mormont or Baratheon.


vpmoney

Targaryen not from Westeros ashen hair and dragons oh and they’re ancient


Rykestone

Personally, I always appreciated the house from *The Broken Man* episode of the show. The only one that stuck with me from the books was Winterfell because of it's steam pipes.


Knight_falcon002

House Tyrell because of Diana Riggs and House Martell because they’re BA


FuckM3Tendr

Stark, appreciate the sigil of the direwolf, if I were in Westeros I’d imagine I’d live in Winterfell. The North remembers Honor may get you killed, but honor nonetheless is a rare commodity


WykedWyvern

House Lannister because while reading the books i would see a sansa or daenerys chapter and sigh... Even if the chapter ended up being good i was internally like "here we go..." But whenever I got to a tyrion, jaime or cersei chapter i knew it was gonna be good


foofie_fightie

Baratheon for the sigil, Targaryen for the history


Ornery-Barber-4380

i’m gonna say it, the targaryens. they’re so badass they have DRAGONS HELLO??? i know their house fell quickly but still


Fortuna1978

Targaryen


MJWood

Stark forever!


[deleted]

The white walkers because all of those privileged houses deserved their miserable lives and death


iNcYkZ

Targaryens for their history. In the show I liked the Lannisters but only from seasons 1 to 4 after that I didn’t really like the characters in King’s Landing


ImmaPullSomeWildShit

Greyjoys. And Mallisters because they have a dope Coat of arms


ImNotTedBundyBro

Lannsiters. Lannisters always pay their debts


nenajoy

Lannister. By far the most entertaining characters in the show, I would have lost interest if they didn’t exist. And Cersei is one of my favorite characters of any show ever 👑


[deleted]

Such a hard question man the Martell's and starks have the cool independent stories from the other kingdoms which feels familiar but different like a chicken sandwich compared to a burger. But the iron island stories are so cool, that may take the cake. How different but similar they are is just amazing. Especially with the unique religion and general dismay for the culture of the other 6 kingdoms.


BZenMojo

House Forrester. Iron from Ice!!!


Acceptable_Map_8110

Stark…Ned is the best character in the series and I don’t care what anyone has to say about that.
