Which Game of Thrones House (or culture) do you Belong to?

Which houses or cultures do you resonate with? You can only vote for one option, but discussion is welcome!

The Take on youtube have awesome analysis of each house so I recommend watching their videos (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAJ07...bsagr3zeq1eOLb). The Targaryen symbolism resonates with me the deepest, from the colors to the "madness." In that universe I'd most likely be like Maggy the Frog, the woman who prophesied the Cersei's downfall or some sort of priestess from Essos.

Ohhh, Thana you make a good point - let's see if I can add Priest/Priestess to the poll. Is that the right name for it?

Sounds good to me . I accidentally pressed edit instead of quote initially. Sorry about that! ^o^

[vermilionplum]

From the list, wildling. But in reality (or I guess a more realistic fantasy?) I'd probably be at the citadel.

Thana and vermilionplum - I added Priest/Priestess and Citadel. You can select that if you'd like

I'm a Wildling. I refuse to be civilized. ?

I watched a few of the "houses and symbolism" videos. Out of the actual houses, the symbolism of Targaryen comes closest for me, although I also relate to the Martell's openness about love and lust. But the Wildlings- the "Free Folk" - are definitely me, for better or worse.

One thing about their symbolism is that they don't learn history. This symbolizes the purity of taking every person for who they are, and living in the moment and in current reality, in real relationships, etc - rather than memorizing some distant one-sided accounts about the other person's background written by the victors in historic wars. I relate to this theme strongly. I do enjoy learning about some cultures, specifically those whose aesthetics attract me (this is usually for a reason, like a deeper resonance). But I avoid inundating myself with too much history , news, articles and tv, so that I assess things based on my interaction with their nature as it speaks to me, the 'vibrations' between me and them if you will, rather than overwhelming myself with tangled narratives. Obviously this has its down side, but I ascribe a lot of romanticism to keeping my mind focused and real, and not overloading it with extraneous input.

This impulse goes all the way back to my childhood - I didn't watch tv growing up, even though my family and friends did, and people made fun of me for not knowing things everyone else knows. I preferred to live my life, practice piano, master skills, go outside, play war games, fantasy games, etc.

I used to read a lot, but it was heartfelt fiction which got me into the humanity of characters, or it was Hermann Hesse, Carlos Casteneda - spiritual journeys that are universal and timeless. I'm much more interested in universal timeless themes than in "this and that" education. But really I'd prefer to EXPERIENCE these themes rather than merely read about them. I learn the most from experience, so the themes that really took hold in my life were those which I put into practice.
