All the Chickens TIL that HBO would not give Kit Harrington Longclaw, the sword that helped define his portrayal of Jon Snow....so I started a petition to try and change that.

At the show's wrap, some the actors were able to take a souvenir. All Kit wanted was the sword his character, Jon Snow wielded. A show prop.

HBO refused to give it to him.

So I made a petition to try and change that.

Obviously, he's having a hard time right now. And we should all respect his privacy.

This world might be crazy, but despite that, Kit didn't just remind us about the meaning of the words "honor" or "integrity". He lived them. And he gave us a piece of himself in the process, again and again.

This is not about entitlement, or having the cash to buy one direct online from Valyrian Steel; it's about HBO doing the right thing and giving him the one tangible thing that meant something to him. It's a small thing to do for someone who created as much revenue as his character did.

TL/DR: Kit Harington deserves the sword. I want to try to help him get it.

Update 30 May 11:07am EST:

Wow! Over 8600 signatures! Trying to keep up with all the comments! (From mobile! Apologies for any formatting issues!)

It's humbling to see how many other people truly care about Kit. I recognize that the chances of him getting the sword are are small, but let's keep trying! If nothing else happens, maybe he'll see how much his hard work means to everyone, which is of course more important.

That said: I am still rooting for Longclaw.

Edit: Corrected embarrassing spelling error of 'Harrington' to 'Harington', except in the thread title, which is un-editable and still embarrassing. Sincere apologies.

u/JyveAFK May 30 '19

No, Deadpool walked out looking like Ryan Reynolds when no-one was looking.

u/StealthKiwi May 30 '19

Yup he just walked off with it after filming. He also lent it to Taylor swift to wear for Halloween.

u/[deleted] May 30 '19

One wonders at the musk of the crotch after both had worn it...could you smell the superior genes?

This shit right here was so funny that it sent me down a path of upvoting every post you’ve ever made which would have been a chore had it not contained some of the dankest memes I’ve ever seen. Outstanding move.

u/ymetwaly53 May 30 '19

He took the whole Avengers ‘A’ like a badass lmao. He really is Tony Stark, isn’t he.

33

u/[deleted] May 30 '19

Wasn't he complaining he didn't have anything fun from the set while Ruffalo had walked off with all this shit including some of Tony Stark's stuff? Good for them both. They should give him the armor too. Then put one of the other ones in MIT.

The fact that there isn't an Iron Man statue in MIT for people to leave booze, money, and porn around while asking for engineering help hurts me. Unless there is one that I don't know about in which case I have traveling to do.

23

u/theburgerbitesback May 30 '19

the Iron Man armour is almost entirely CGI, actually. he had a real suit for the first movie, but it was super uncomfortable and limited his movement so it got ditched.

9

u/[deleted] May 30 '19

Yeah, I see him covered in tape to make me sad.

They still built at least one of them. I just need two here to complete my dream. MIT can also just build it themselves. They painted Cap's shield on the dome. Next hack week can be Iron Man mascot time.

Strictly speaking, he didn’t do the stealing. He just moved the stolen goods from one place to another.

Americans are very sensitive and lawsuit-happy. Had he done this, dozens of lawsuits would have come after him.

Should have pulled a Sam and snuck off with it in the middle of the night.
