Yesss, i’ve never liked the whole Maegor is born from witchcraft, so he’s doomed to have dragon-mutant babies. With him having so many wives and desperately wanting children I got Henry VIII-vibes too!!

i definitely DO think there is canon basis for the idea that witchcraft was behind some part of it, and i know a lot of people like it .... it's just not my cup of tea 💔 one of my favourite parts about asoiaf are the historical parallels and i think maegor's undoing (to a degree, obv that wasn't the only wrong move the guy nicknamed Maegor The Cruel made) being the way he treated his wives and his court is a really fun way to inerpret specifically his fertility issues especially with his pretty clear henry viii-isms

You mentioned Rosamund is Alicent’s lady-in-waiting, during the brief period Rhaenyra took the iron throne, what happend to her? Was she locked up, or did manage to sneak away?

i always imagined that she's way too scared to run off anywhere because she has basically everyone that takes care of her living at court . they assume she knows something about the royal treasury because shes married to the guy who's in charge of it and throw her into The Dungeons to sharply question (dot dot dot) her . she doesnt actually know anything though LOL so she just becomes a punching bag over nothing. sorry to rosamund happiness believers

as a newer asoiaf fan, i find your blog so cool & it really inspired me as i was starting the books! my bff would info dump about the dunk & egg era and i'd think 'oh i know about that thanks to tumblr user novembermorgon.' your ocs and art are just gorgeous, i love to see all of it and hear about your oc ideas!! <3

WHAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTT wait im giggling... this is so sweet OMG going to spin this comment around in my mind for the whole of next week . thank you so much :-) i'm very glad to have left some kind of impression..... and to be spreading some dunk and egg joy ... i hope you enjoyed/are enjoying your reading!!!!!!!!!

when you do open comms again—can’t wait—will you be doing nsfw comms as well? because your nsfw drawings are *chef’s kiss*

i do nsfw commissions yes! :-) i just won't post any of them on here when theyre done because tumblr doesnt like it LOL

Can we hear more about meralyn? I love her!

YAYY meralyn <3

honestly i don't have SUUPER in depth lore for her ... but .... she's from a noble family in lys, where she grew up the youngest of five siblings - when she turns 17 she leaves for westeros with her father, on a little business trip for him & from her perspective just for fun. she ends up staying around for longer because she finds herself really enjoying court (she's young and naive and hasnt ever left lys before) - before then finding herself in a secret exciting little relationship with aenys. i imagine shes charmed by him being kind and a bit older than her and the fact he shares her interest in music and dancing and all the fun pretty good things in life .

it's sort of a lowkey thing for as long as she's there, never officially recognized because the faith probably wouldn't be very happy about it, but people kind of just Know . i definitely think meralyn is more fond of him than he is her - for her it's a kind of first love situation, where she's never experienced anything else and sees it as an almost storybook esque romance whereas to aenys she really is just a mistress and a passing fancy even though he keeps her around for a long time. they have a son, aurane, who he goes to see when he feels like it and then never thinks about <3

when things begin to go south with the faith she leaves (in late 41ac), going back to lys to her family a few months before aenys dies . she's heartbroken both having to leave and at his death, but settles into a pretty normal life in lys until 44ac, where right after alys harroway's death she gets invited back to court by maegor . she's his dead brother's mistress and she gave aenys a child so obviously she should marry him and she'll definitely give him one as well ❤️

unlike basically everyone at court (who are very rightfully freaked out and scared of him) i think meralyn once again falls into that pit of Omg how romantic this is so dreamy and she does end up liking maegor a lot just as she did his brother . i'm not a big fan of the maegor being doomed to have dead magic babies forever theory (just personal preference + i think an explaination more in line with henry viii and his wives issues conceiving is more interesting) so she does have a son with him named aegon who ends up dying after a few years. he blames her, because of his terrible paranoia, and with the help of her maester she runs off again back across the sea right before he dies

as for tyanna ... i think while she's still alive meralyn finds some comfort in knowing that she's also a foreign woman at court, when she herself hasn't really managed to fully 'fit in'. i imagine she still to some degree follows her lyseni gods still, and likes her lyseni fashions - tyanna isn't especially interested in her because she's way too bubbly and outgoing and happy but probably lets her hang out in her little potion making tower once in a while. maybe they get to kiss . yay ❤️

hiiii do u have a self-insert-character in asoiaf art?

me if i was aerion's page boy

[novembermorgon]

thought about rosamund again today... i need to put her in a situation quickly. shes been locked away in my dungeons for too long

myrielle when her big doe eyes hit and she ends up getting away with every wrongdoing shes ever been accused of

[novembermorgon]

Random question but do you have any OCs you could see selling scam infomercial products in a modern au?

LMFAO not necessarily scam infomercial stuff specifically but i think myrielle would be so bored just sitting at home all day letting other people do all her housewife duties that for a while she gets really into, like, mlm pyramid schemes and she does really well because she promotes it on her mom instagram and puts a bunch of unsuspecting people in debt. then she gets tired of it and drops it

maelor sells weed to 16 year olds on the high school parking lot despite not being allowed in the general vicinity of the building and 80% of it is just oregano . he gives discounts to anyone who looks like saera

Who do you think are the most tragic Targaryen men and women? (People born outside of the family and marry in also count)

i think to some degree there's something tragic about all of them . but i think the sort-of-obvious answer here is naerys, considering very little in her life actually went right 😭😭😭 rhaella for similar reasons. so terrible. as for the men ... well objectively he doesn't have the saddest life or anything because i think things were pretty alright until the tourney at ashford but baelor breakspear genuinely makes me want to cry a little bit. i think about him and get a stomach ache

Discovered your blog/oc tag recently and I’m super obsessed with the outfits in your art (esp the bolton siblings bc idk that’s the goth in me), was curious if you have a good source for looking at accurate historical clothing references at all?

hehe thank you anon!! i loveeee making little outfits... it's hard to recommend one specific site because i do pull from a lot of different fashion eras and inspirations and my stuff definitely isn't super historically accurate - at this point i've just curated my pinterest enough to where i get a lot of inspiration basically spoonfed to me LOL but sometimes i use this site:

which is basically just a compilation of items (paintings, clothing, etc) from different historical periods :-) with the right filters theres a lot of cool stuff in there. i also love looking at opera costume design for inspiration, which isn't really historically accurate 99% of the time but very beautiful. if the accuracy is important i'd recommend looking into groups online who do historical reenactment/recreate historical clothing as well as looking in your local library if you have a section for clothing & historical fashions!!
