Who would be Gared's lover?

edited November 2015 in Game Of Thrones

Well, we'll have the second season, and Gared is often overshadowed by other cool characters: We have Rodrik the strong warrior, we have Asher the charming warrior, we have Beskha the trusted friend, Mira the nicest 'Iron from Ice' sayer, not to mention many other...

But it seems to me he's quite popular among the girls. Talia gave him the precious Necklace. Elsera entrusted him the command of blood-magic warriors. Sylvi's brother entrusted her to Gared. So who is the most suitable candidate for him?

  1. Talia, the sweet flower of the Ironwood forest
  2. Elsera, the strong flower of the mysterious North Grove
  3. Sylvi, the hidden flower of the snowy field

Okay, thanks to the idea of Kateis, I'll put some men in here as well:

  • Jon Snow
  • Josera
  • Ser Royland
  • Master Oberyn
  • you name him?

I would like to hear your oppinion :)

  • Elsera or Talia, Sylvi is a bit too young.

    I once shipped Gared with Jon but now that Jon killed the ship I'm not sure, I think I still ship it. I want to still ship it.

    My friend @Lewsblake23 ships him with Josera and I'm not so sure about it but I feel a pull towards that.

    But Gared with a girl? Nah, I'm not seeing it. I'm not one of those people that ever thought Gared and Talia had a crush on each other. Sylvi is just, how about no that is never gonna work. And Elsera... Nah I can't see him with her.

  • In the book, Robb Stark married Jeyne Westerling when they were both 16. I don't know of Sylvi's age, but I would like to see Elsera & Gared couple :D

  • Probably either Elsera or Sylvi.

  • Yeah, but they were both the same age and Sylvi's like 12 or 13. Gared is 17 or 18.

  • Talia or Elsera but Sylvi? Nah, I don't think so and not because of her age. It's because of their relationship. I see them as good friends and that is it.

  • I don't know why but I did want to put Josera in the list, because of the way he smiled at Gared in game =D

    okay, to be honest, Josera. Sorry, girls.

  • Josera x Gared... Hm... They kinda seem shippable :|

  • Good friends would eventually turn out to become great lover, just as Rodrik and Eleana did :)

  • Yeah, you're right. Maybe it's just I don't feel like Gared and Sylvi are good as a couple. It feels completely different with Gared x Talia and Gared x Elsera.

  • I think Sylvie comes off as way-way too young.

    But so does Talia.

    I think she crushes on Gared but I didn't see the reverse.

    Elsera, at least, is very recognizably a woman.

  • Seriously I could see those two together. :D

  • Elsera! I ship it so hard! She has this amazing smile whenever she's talking to Gared.

  • I was with you in this. But after awhile, I took a closer look at Sylvi's expressions, despite her cheeky attitude, Sylvi was really cute at some degree, like a flower within the snow, you would have to take time to discover its beauty. It's something completely diffrent from the sweetness of Talia or the strong-will Elsera :)

  • And the burning fire in her eyes when she looked at Gared xD

  • Yeah, i don't know Why , but she kinda reminds me of Melissandre , don't know why tough , since the only thing they have in common is that they're both uses magic .

  • I find her speaking blood magic words really alluring. :)

  • Despite Jon's comments, I still ship GarJon. (It's not like with Mirgryn. He could possibly take back those words someday, after all.)

    So, in my opinion, Jon.

  • I ship too much. I even judge myself a little.

  • Josera x Gared for sure.

    The way they look at each other...

    enter image description here

  • He likes bacon, fat Falda it is.

  • Wow! I never really thought about this but I guess if Gared leaves the North Grove, I guess Talia

  • I ship not GOT characters

  • Garred X that really cool knife he got

    I always thought this scene between Gared and Talia was very sweet. It's not hard to see from Gared's expression that he is touched and maybe a bit surprised that Talia even cares about his safety. It must have meant a great deal to him at the time, as he was just about to set off for The Wall, leaving everything he knew behind. No doubt that deep down he was wary of what was to come. This scene also reminded me a bit of a lady giving a knight a token of her love to keep him safe in battle. I'm a sucker for those kinds of romances lol. I wouldn't be opposed to their relationship developing into a romantic one in future seasons when Talia is a little older.

    But seeing as this is GOT we're talking about, and everyone knows that nobody is allowed to be happy in GOT, them getting together isn't likely. Even if they did, it probably wouldn't last very long. GOT characters being happy and in love is usually a blatant sign that something devastating is about to happen.:[

  • To honor Cotter, Gared x Potato.

  • You might wanna add Rodrik to that list...

    GarDik 4 lyfe

  • Hmm I'm not sure... Kind of shipping Gared x Sylvi the most

  • Gared X Silvy or Josera

    I'd say Elsera but she creeps me...

  • I hate when people creep me.

    Gared X Silvy or Josera I'd say Elsera but she creeps me...

  • Is Jon bi? Or are people willfully forgetting Ygritte?

    Despite Jon's comments, I still ship GarJon. (It's not like with Mirgryn. He could possibly take back those words someday, after all.) So, in my opinion, Jon.

  • When I went through the two playthroughs, it seemed mostly to be Elsera considering the amount of time they spend with each other in Episode 6.

    She generally seemed to be nice to Gared (whereas Josera is still a bit hostile to Gared because he's a crow [even after he reveals he works for the Forresters], and doesn't warm up to him until you fight with him against the wights, Elsera seemed to treat him much better from the beginning), smiled at him, and those smiles seem more visible when the player picks dialogue options more favourable to her.

    Sylvi seemed to be more of little sister role to Gared (well, she is Cotter's little sister afterall), and Talia unfortunately didn't share too many scenes with Gared, except consoling him when Gared meets her and Lady Forrester, and that other scene where she gives the necklace to Gared (in fact, Talia and Gared's relation reminded me of Jon and Arya's relation in the show, except in this case Gared received the ironwood necklace, whereas in the show Jon gave "needle" to Arya

  • Because Rodrik doesn't like girls? So that whole business with Elaena was just a pretense to secure the marriage?

    You might wanna add Rodrik to that list... GarDik 4 lyfe

    In my personal headcanon, he's demisexual.

    I've not forgotten Ygritte. She is dead, however, and Jon can eventually move on someday.

  • I used to ship him with Sylvi, but I'm starting to feel like she is legitimate trouble.

    Talia is off the table just given the complete disarray of House Forrester and her unknown whereabouts.

    I'd love to see him with Elsera

    Ygritte :lmao:
