Saint Brienne of Tarth. Part of my series of ASOIAF fan art based on medieval illuminated manuscripts. This one is based off of depictions of Joan of Arc, especially the one by Martin Lefranc. The message means “no chance, no choice” in Latin (my Latin is rusty, though!).

Sansa Longs for Home: another piece in my ASOIAF fan art inspired by medieval manuscript illustrations. The animals and plants in this drawing represent the parties who spy on Sansa in ACOC and ASOS

A trestle table had been set up across the cave, in a cleft in the rock. Behind it sat a woman all in grey, cloaked and hooded. In her hands was a crown, a bronze circlet ringed by iron swords. She was studying it, her fingers stroking the blades as if to test their sharpness. Her eyes glimmered under her hood. - Brienne VIII, aFfC

Drawing for @mdtb of Lady Stoneheart crowning Robb who has Greywind's head. Made for the @thenorthsource project that is raising funds for palestine, lebanon and sudan 🇵🇸 🇱🇧 🇸🇩

Hey! Love the conlang stuff. I had some questions about High Valyrian and the daughter cities.

How do the Volantene aristocracies’ naming conventions align with the Targaryens? They’ve originated from the same culture, but have some pretty distinct differences in names.

Targaryens have stuff like, Daenerys, Aegon, Jaehaerys, Visenya, etc.

But the Volantene have names like Trianna, Marqelo, Malaquo, Vhalaso, Belicho, Vogarro, Nyessos, Doniphos.

Now I’m no linguist. Where does that convergence point happen? Because you have family names like Maegyr which are similar to Maelys and Maegor. But then you have Paenymion, lol.

Follow up question (sorry). How do you interpret the differences between pre-Doom and post-Doom Valyrian names? I was wondering if Daenerys still made sense as a pre-Doom name, as I always assumed it was based on Daenys.

Thank you for your time!

They're not really that different. They're about as different as one would expect considering that the one language descended from the other. Consider how different Latin names are from Italian names. Same thing here. The Targaryens intentionally preserved the culture of the Valyrian Freehold. Remember that Volantis is old. It was the first of the Free Cities—Ghis was still an empire (for a short while)! They've been creating their own identity for a long, long time. It's not strange at all that they appear so different (despite the fact that I look at them and see them as way, way too siilar to Valyrian. lol It's going to be tough to create something so similar yet slightly differen in future...).

I've got another post on High Valyrian naming traditions. Daenerys isn't based on Daenys: both are based on the verbal root daen-. Also, though, anyone can choose any name they wish and for any reasons. That's always been true.

You don’t own fanfics. They’re inherently public domain because they aren’t your IP. Agree or disagree with AI, there are no grounds for “protection” from AI because it isn’t your IP to begin with. That’s what you chose when you chose this medium

Oh dear.

Okay, you get an answer, because at least you took the effort to write your ask out properly, even if you are hiding behind the grey, sunglassed circle.

Do I, or any fanfic author for that matter, have any legal claims to our work? No, not really, no. (Although if someone took a fic, filed off the serial number--deleted the fandom specific elements--, and then had it published for financial gain, yeah, that would be a case.)

BUT

Fandoms are built on a social contract that says we respect each others work, the effort people put into their art. We don't steal or disrespect the work of our peers. By feeding people's fanworks to AI you both steal and disprect it, and we need to make people realize that before it's too late--before fandom falls apart, because there will be no more real, actual fanworks.

Disrepectfully,

Orlissa

Helaegon plz save me

if i could make you mine (2/?)

Helaena wasn’t sure who moved first, but before she knew what was truly happening, Aegon had swept her up into his arms. Water splashed all over the floor, but neither cared. Aegon’s grip was surprisingly strong as he carried her over to the bed and laid her down upon it. Helaena reached for him, grabbing onto his collar. “ Aegon -”

“I’m here,” he whispered against her lips.

This was the first time they had kissed. 2x04 AU: Rather than risking his life at Rook's Rest, Aegon finds himself seeking Helaena's counsel. There, they finally mourn their son and come together in more ways than one.

Is it not completely insane and mind blowing that a few days ago just marked a solid year of this and we still get lukewarm headlines by mainstream media about how Israel is now ACCUSED of attacking Gaza hospitals (w no actual penalties for it)…. Think pieces by the New York Times that do their absolute best to tiptoe around the subject, if not outright fail to address it…….. and this is most insulting of all but I even saw more than one headline “honoring the memory” of the IOF soldiers who died in a recent attack…… and this all sounds made up but it’s not. It truly is all you see when you look up the news. Truly nothing has changed
