Patchface and Melisandre by solar-sea on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Not exactly for April's Fool but who knows.... I know, I know, oh, oh, oh

Three of my favourite ASOIAF creepers in one picture:
Melisandre the Red Witch + Patchface the fool (?) & Shireen Baratheon with the right side of her face turned to the unsuspecting viewer.
(After having read what Val said on the matter, the whole new layer of creepiness opened )

I kinda await Mel & Patches clash of might and magic, yeah
(Or some other activity... must... not.... ship...)
She sees him in her fires too often for her own good

Now some theorybending times

I'm inclined to believe the guy whom we all are made to believe is Stannis - he is NOT Stannis at all. He may very well be the Patchface. How Why - the answer is one = GRRM

I also believe in Petyr's "absurd" theory of Patches being the actual father of Shireen Someone either needed the 'fake' Stannis, or a very important jester in his service.

I'm convinced someone will evoke Shireen's little "gift" to life. Soon. I wonder WHO will the one to launch it And how they gonna be curing the survivors. And whether Patchface will ever meet Jon Connington (to seal the "gift" until it's needed again )

The Patchface=Targ is always an option, because every mysterious character must be a Targ, I know, I know, oh, oh, oh. In the fun event of Young Griff turning out to be a Blackfyre.... You see where it goes

The Patchesrowned God is absolutely endearing. Given my certain affinity to Aeron x Melisandre, imagining Patches joining the OT3 is just... wicked even by Martin's standards

Oh, and my favourite so far! Patches=Jon Snow Mel used her glamours on Jon the way she performed the magic on Mance, and made Jonny look Patches to save him from the wrath of his brethren. The real Patches is meanwhile...
