I never read him as actually ugly. It is more that others see him as ugly, a bit like Tyrion in the show.
Well if people see you as ugly, you ugly.
I just think on Westeros they would see all dwarfs as ugly, no matter how they looked or what they did. It's a highly prejudiced society. Tyrion only makes it so far because his family didn't kill him when he was born (which would be normal), and because he is of the very highest nobility. Of course even his closest family teases him and sets him up to be a fool, and partly hates him for his mother dying when giving birth to him. So he has a hard time in a lot of ways.
What bugs me is that I think a horrible facial disfiguring would make him even more repulsive to people, much more so than just being a dwarf, but I don't get that from the books. Characters pretty much act the same way towards him as they did before.
It's kinda easy to ignore though. I almost forget its there. I just pretend he's Peter Dinklage.

Well that's completely insane. He's one of the most beloved characters in the books, Pete. Way before the show, when I started reading the series, everyone was talking about how great Tyrion is and how he's the best character in the series.
I get that. I think we're talking about different things. People can like him as a character, but he's much more of a villain in the books than the show and that's what I'm driving at. In the show you're all "oh maybe he'll be a good Hand to the Queen" and in the books you're all
"oh shit he's sending a competing invading army into Westeros and making deals with sellswords".
I was pretty much rooting for him the whole time in the books, too. The deals with sellswords and the invasion of Westeros don't really read that differently in the books from what I remember.
I read the books in 07-08, and I always rooted for Tyrion. Arya, Jon and him make the story.
Daenarys is a clear cut villain though. So will be interesting to see them meet in the books.

That's completely stupid. Dany is everything in the books. She doesn't need Tyrion. Read that shit again!

So, do you personally think Arya kills the soldiers?

NO!
Yeah no wasy Daenarys is a clear cut villain. She's at least less villainous than Tyrion.

No, just a theory I saw. Arya is going to become the Omar of Westeros.
