>>2061538the producers of the TV show were raging homosexuals with daddy issues who restaged every scene with Renly and Stannis in them to make Renly look like a more legitimate king and to make Stannis look like an incompetent and fanatical tyrant. The books cut off just before the Siege of Winterfell but Shireen isn't even there for Stannis to burn in the first place, she's still at Castle Black, and when his men suggest that he start burning people for Rh'llor to clear the blizzard that's trapped them in the countryside of Winterfell, he tells them to "pray harder" and refuses to burn any of his men except for 4 men at arms who were caught cannibalizing corpses. In the last chapter where he appears (a teaser chapter for the unfinished next book) he sends one of his knights with money from the Iron Bank of Braavos to buy sellswords from Essos and as he's leaving, tells him
>โIt may be that we shall lose this battle,โ the king said grimly. โIn Braavos you may hear that I am dead. It may even be true. You shall find my sellswords nonetheless.โ>The knight hesitated. โYour Grace, if you are deadโโ>โโyou will avenge my death, and seat my daughter on the Iron Throne. Or die in the attempt.โthe idea that Stannis is going to burn Shireen is patently retarded fanfiction and the point where any book reader with a spine and common sense gave up on the show
>b-b-b-b-but GRRM said Shireen would get burnedhe also said Winds would be done 8 years ago, words are wind
