Game of Thrones is known for many things. But in addition to all it’s awesomeness in battles, plots, music, etc, there are some quite handsome fellows whose characters just take you to a whole other level.

So. Here is my list of lovers I would take from GOT.

  • Jon Snow: I mean…this is obvious. He’s hot, he has dragon blood flowing through his veins AND Stark blood. What better combo? He wields that valyrian steel so effortlessly.
  • Beric Dondarrion: His name alone gives him entitlement to be taken as a lover. He died 6 times and was brought back to life. Uhh, awesome! That friggin flaming sword “Lightbringer” that he wields is also a stand alone reason for him to be taken as a lover. I feel like if we go walking North of the Wall I need not worry. Patch and all…its on!
  • The Hound: Ok. So. I don’t think I would take the Hound as a lover but we could totally be besties. He’d be my bestie body guard and beat the shit out of anyone I pointed to. He’ll go toe-to-toe with my sarcasm without taking offense.
  • Tormund: Every one who knows me knows I love a man with a beard. (All the previous lovers listed have beards). But Tormund’s beard is immaculate! Not to mention he’s absolutely hilarious and can kick ass (I also love alpha type men who I know can kick ass). My heart was still while watching “Beyond The Wall” as I watched this lover almost meet his end at the hands of the army of the dead.
  • Jorah Mormont: Oh Jorah. He;s such a sweet man but he also can handle himself pretty well in battle. He’s smart and cunning. Extremely attractive. He can read people better than most. Thank the Lord of Light for Samwell Tarly defying that Maester and saving Jorah from succumbing to Grey Scale.
  • Gendry: Gendry. Gendry. Gendry. I first fell for you when I saw that sweaty body in season one. Your little man beard growing in. Davos was Light sent for sending you away from Melisandre. — - I know Gendry can handle himself and my my has he aged well. And clearly, he can do some damage with that hammer. I AM HERE FOR IT!
  • Dickon Tarly: Such a short lived life for such a hot guy. Though the size of head in comparison to his armor was throwing me way off.
