Why Arya Saw The Hound Cry Like A Baby In The Books 😢

This short uses evidence from A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords, A Feast for Crows, A Dance with Dragons and The Winds of Winter.

A Game of Thrones theory explained, prepare for The Winds of Winter release date with a theory video of George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire book series and something to think about while waiting for HBO's House of the Dragon Season 2.

So the background music for this video was made by Kareem Rasheed, who makes incredible music that you can find using the links below:

It makes complete sense. He is all sorts of traumatized.

[Corvus]

Sandor is the most tragic character in asoiaf

[BIastwave.]

I love the art work when Arya is saying “he’s crying like a little baby.” The shadow on the wall is Sandor as a child playing with Gregors toy, right before Gregor burns him

[nielsondantastscha]

It was very missed! He’s afraid of fire, was fighting a flaming sword and barely flinched! I thought he had gotten over that with how the show demonstrated

[luigicavallo]

I remember feeling bad for him while reading that!

I could only imagine the Black Water, Wild Fire burning men in the water. There was no way the Hound could stay.

Rory McCann was so good it would have beenn heartbreaking to watch

[bonbonvegabon]

Jaime Lannister also has PTSD from watching the Mad king burn others. He tells others to go away inside and look without seeing.

[yianmartinez]

Bruh, his arm was burned so badly in that fight, his flesh was flaking and falling off.

[nonapplicable]

A shame that they didn't include this. Rory would've won an Emmy for sure.

[Guy]

Sandor had PTSD since the day Gregor shoved his face into fire.

[amaxwiththefacts]

The Hound has to fight against swords, spikes, criminals, and Joffrey on a daily basis. However, he knows that probably the worse pain of all is being burned.

[trippietoadie]

Lord of Light still loved him more than that butcher’s boy

[bigbrain]

“He’s crying like a little baby” the man is literally currently on fire Arya cut him some slack

[tonyjunior-thefirstgentlem]

I know that showing The Hound in such a vulnerable position would partly diminish and effectively disrupt part of what passes for his redemption arc in the story.

[corvega_joe]

Wow they even did the whole cultural appropriation thing like what they’re doing to Lara Croft? I didn’t even know about that part. As if the whole non-binary lecture trash scene wasn’t bad enough.
