Warden of the West: A Tywin Lannister Tribute

"Seven Kingdoms united in fear of Tywin Lannister" - Tyrion Lannister (S03E06)
My tribute to my favourite Game of Thrones character of all time, Lord Tywin, son of Tytos, of House Lannister, Lord of Casterly Rock and Lord Paramount of the Westerlands, Hand of the King, Saviour of King's Landing and Warden of the West, as portrayed by Charles Dance
Music: The Rains of Castamere + A Lannister Always Pays His Debts

I have served six kings, but here before us lies the greatest man I ever knew. Lord Tywin wore no crown, yet he was all a king should be.-Grand Maester Pycelle

[@grandmofftony]

absolutely adore that line :D

[@funnyscandal827]

I bet even Aegon the conqueror with his mighty Balerion would've bowed to Tywin Lannister's sheer determination and unmatched cunning had they been contemporaries!

[@dmitriykosyak3858]

+funny scandal he wasn't cunning. Margaery and Olenna are cunning.

[@CptMacTavish-sg7hj]

I agree, Tywin wasn't cunning. Tywin was a pure genius of strategy, tactics and politics. Unmatched by anyone in everything but parentage...

[@angeljohn1250]

the only man that commanded true fear and respect.....faith militant would have never dared rip kings landing part if the mighty tywin was alive

[@grandmofftony]

+angel john Very true, so many smaller houses will come out from under their stones to make their moves now that Tywin isn't around to send and minstrel with a harp into their halls

"Explain to me why is it more noble to kill ten thousand men in battle than twelve at a wedding?" "You are a fool if you believe he is the most powerful man in Westeros." "You really think a crown gives you power?" "A lion doesn't concern himself with the opinions of a sheep." "Seven kingdoms united in fear of Tywin Lannister." "Mummers and singers require an applause, you are a Lannister." "Tywin may seem a hard man for you but he is no harder than he needs to be." "A man who says I am the king is no true king." "I have served six kings but here before us lies the greatest man I have ever known. Lord Tywin wore no crown yet he was all a king should be." All hail Tywin Lannister, the one who never lost a battle, who never lost a war, who made his house a dynasty, who gave the realm years of peace and boubty. The greatest man Westeros has ever known.

[@moralhazard8652]

he actually did loose most of his battles. still one oft my favourtite Charakters in television

[@kijamy8642]

what a hell are you talking about, what battle did he lost lol ?

[@taylorkorinek7032]

+Großkönig Eeeeeeeh... Get your facts right. He won every battle he wanted to win. You can't attribute his son's or cousin's incompetence to him.

[@kijamy8642]

Taylor Korinek yeah, tywin never lost single battle or war in his life, im not sure what he is talking about ..

[@moralhazard8652]

+Taylor Korinek books: the greyjoys burned bis Fleet in lannishort, Edmure (!!!!) Tully defeated his army in the riverlands (though it turned out quite well) and even though it was not him who lost at Riverrun, Jamie was following Tywins orders. On the other hand in the only battles he won, he had a clearly superior force.

[@harithulasidalamappo6937]

Tyvin in his way was a good man .. He saved Arya and all the peasants remember..That was the episodes I really got to know him ...

[@DarkLadyJade]

he was such a badass.

[@badjokemaker3051]

I miss him

[@grandmofftony]

Same here, King's Landing has fallen apart without the Lion of Casterly Rock running the show

[@tomadough]

jamie will be the new king of Casterly rock. FOR HE WILL BE THE AZOR AHAI HERO!

[@goldilocksguy5170]

Tywin isn't the same without you

[@xm377Moyocoyatzin]

There is a phrase in Mexico: _"Camptured like the Tiger of St Julia."_ It is a phrase that alludes to someone being captured or killed while taking a shit. This phrase has it's origin with a famous bandit called José de Jesús Negrete Medina, who had eluded capture until he was finally caught while _on the privy_. The coincidence is quite hilarious, one was a Tiger, the other was a Lion (bog big cats), both were notoriously hard to kill or apprehend by their enemies, and both ultimately met their fate while sitting on the porcelain throne, lol.

[@grandmofftony]

xm377Moyocoyatzin XD thank you for that :) learn something new every day XD

[@shameerismail5347]

And a tribute to Charles Dance who brought this character to life with such grace....

[@nakrat11]

Stern and harsh, yes. But he also had a real interest in governing, in using marriage alliances to end the wars and secure the peace, and in thinking ahead about the future of the dynasty. No one else really thought about it: Robert Baratheon raised a hellion (Joffrey), Cersei and Jaime only care about themselves, the Tyrells are ambitious but not real governors, and the Starks have no real interest in the south.

[@grandmofftony]

Well said :)) Tywin understood what was needed to fix the world, it wasn't pretty but it was what needed to be done and so he worked to do it

[@scarletkitty8996]

He was one of my favorite characters and he died taking a shit💩🤣
