#criston struggles to maintain medieval good masculinity and a chivalric hero archetype that modern works basically never have uncritically

really really like how criston exhibits the medieval knightly virtues (generosity courtesy chastity fellowship and piety) more than almost any modern hero archetype and is unambiguously a bad person. he genuinely doesn’t believe he’s going to hell for killing a lot of people (that was for the greater good) he thinks it’s for having sex once
#values dissonance stuff with medieval fantasy characters vv interesting esp in relation to masculinity#good masculinity meant being chaste and temperate and a scholar but sex and violence and drinking was still manlier#even if it was officially ‘bad masculinity’ compared to evoking cain instead of abel. many such cases#daemon as an aspirational kind of bad masculinity but also a modern hero archetype as a rogue#criston struggles to maintain medieval good masculinity and a chivalric hero archetype that modern works basically never have uncritically#hotd#house of the dragon#criston cole#asoiaf#a song of ice and fire
