Character Promo: Daemon Targaryen - prince & wielder of dark sister @rogueprincedaemontarg - Part of A Song of Golden Fire and Black Blood RP

The younger son of the late Prince Baelon and Princess Alyssa Targaryen, Daemon is 50 years old, a Prince of The Realm, and the second husband of Crown Princess Rhaenyra. After serving several stints as the Commander of the City Watch of King's Landing, Daemon now sits on the Small Council as the Master of War; a position far too concerned with bothering various Lords to send him updated rosters of their bannermen for his liking. He is the father of Lady Baela and Lady Rhaena by his second wife, Lady Laena Velaryon, as well as Princes Aegon "The Younger", Viserys "Vis", and Baelon, and Princesses Visenya and Aemma with Rhaenyra. Daemon is praised as a skilled fighter and dragon rider, doting husband, and good father, but it is often whispered he also has the tendency to be violent, stubborn, and unpredictable.

WELCOME TO #DIIREWOLF.  this is an independent & selective, mutuals only, and low activity blog for robb stark from asoiaf and got. this blog will be mainly show based with lots of headcanons and major canon divergence. aka robb survived the red wedding. there will be slight book influences from what i’ve researched & read, but i currently haven’t read the actual books and am not planning to either.

i will block liberally. i’m here to enjoy myself and not to deal with bullshit.

my promo, header, dash icon & rp icons were made by the amazing @moisovrenyi / @endedwatch.

this is a sideblog to @ignietsanguine​

robb survived the red wedding by the grace of his own quick thinking playing dead and a few loyal bannermen who risked their lives dragging a nearly dead robb from that hall behind the backs of the freys. he was put on a ship and transported across the narrow sea to pentos, where he spent several months recovering from his wounds. there, he heard of daenerys targaryen and her campaign to free slaver’s bay. once his health permits it, robb travels to meereen to meet the dragon queen, in hopes of allying himself to her cause sp that they can both return home.

The Greens To Assume The Throne?

All these time jumps are lastly paying off as followers are on the sting of the official starting of the ‘Dance of the Dragons.’ The final episode noticed Princess, Rhaenyra returning to Dragon stone after see-off her sons. She promised Alicent to return to the King’s Touchdown quickly on the dragon’s again. However with Alicent misunderstanding King’s dying phrases, issues is not going to be the identical when she arrives. So, name on to your bannermen and fortify your castles, as we’re about to debate Home Of The Dragon Episode 9. Home Of The Dragon Episode 9: Preview And Plot Particulars With simply two episodes remaining within the season, issues are certain to get extra intense within the penultimate episode. The ninth episode is titled The Inexperienced Council. HBO has shared a promo for the episode, which confirms that the ailing King Viserys will ultimately die within the subsequent episode, formally marking the beginning of ‘Dance of the Dragons.  The promo reveals that Alicent and Otto will attempt to conceal the information of Viserys’ loss of life from Rhaenyra. In her absence, The Greens will attempt to reap the benefits of the state of affairs and try to ascend Aegon II to the Iron Throne. The promo hints at a whole lot of chaos unfolding in King’s Touchdown after the demise of Viserys.  What Occurred In Home Of The Dragon Episode 8? The eighth episode of Home of the Dragon was titled ‘Lord Of The Tides’. The title refers back to the lord of Driftmark fort. At first, we study that the Sea Snake has been severely injured throughout the battle on the StepStone. There are probabilities that he might not survive. Consequently, his brother, Vaemond Velaryon, makes his declare for the Driftmark as he believes that Rhaenyra’s sons are illegitimate.  Vaemond makes the plea for his declare on the Driftmark earlier than the crown. After studying that her son’s declare to Drfitmark has been challenged, Daemon and Rhaenyra head to the Capital. In King’s Touchdown, followers see King Viserys’ well being has gone worse. He’s unable to conduct the courtroom. Thus, Otto Hightower is making selections on his behalf. Vaemond proposed his allegiance to the Greens in trade for him getting Driftmark, and Otto appeared fairly satisfied concerning the commerce. Nevertheless, to the shock of everybody, an ailing King Viserys, makes his solution to the courtroom to settle the matter for himself. In the meantime, Corlys Velaryon’s spouse, Rhaenys, sides with the Rhaenyra, and Driftmark fort is given to Lucerys Velaryon. Consequently, Vaemond loses his mood and calls Princess’ sons bastards leading to Daemon beheading him.  Later On, Viserys manage a supper for his total household as a final try to fix their variations. On the feast, issues appeared to be going effectively till Aemon made a snarky remark concerning the ‘Robust’ boys breaking out a battle among the many kin. In the meantime, the episode ended with a jaw-dropping twist as Alicent misunderstood Viseyrs whereas he was speaking about Aegon the conquerer.  Home Of The Dragon Episode 9: Launch Date & The place To Watch The best episode of the Recreation Of Thrones spinoff sequence Home of The Dragon premiered on HBO on October 9, 2022. In the meantime, because the present follows a weekly episode format, the ninth episode of the present is scheduled to premiere on October 16, 2022. Followers can catch the printed of Home Of The Dragon Episode 9 at 9 Pm Est on HBO. Furthermore, the most recent episode will even be out there to stream on HBO MAX.   Additionally Learn Home of the Dragon: Recreation of Thrones Prequel Begins Casting, All Particulars!

Jon Snow does not ship JonSa (part 2)

Warning: This is just a silly interpretation by a silly fangirl. If you want serious and in-depth analysis, don't waste your time reading this.

Okay, it's fangirling time!

I watched Kit's interviews and though most of his answers are horseshit (he is in promo mode after all), I believe some parts are true. And I think some of his answers are his motivations in playing his scenes.

Kit said Sansa is cleverer than him (Jon).

Sansa is an irritant.

She knows her power. She can pipe up whenever she wants.

Jon can't execute her (so harsh Kit!), or banish her, or get rid of her in some ways because she's his SISTER.

She twists him in a way no one else can.

She challenges him.

Using my shipper decoder, I think Kit means: Jon realizes he is feeling some inappropriate affection for Sansa and he doesn't like it. "She challenges him." "She's an irritant." "She twists him in a way no one else can." "He can't execute her, or banish her, or get rid of her in some ways because she's his SISTER."

So I watched their scenes again (shipper goggles on), and now I think I see things clearly. LOL!

Remember GRRM's original outline where Jon and Arya fell in love but are tormented by their feelings because they still believe they are half-siblings? I think we're watching it folks. But it's only Jon (for now) who's acting tormented.

I remember two instances last season, when Sansa felt like she's not getting through to Jon. The first was when Jon and Sansa were arguing about going to castle Cerwyn. Sansa stopped following Jon when he keeps shutting down her suggestion to get more men. Jon walked towards some fighting men while Sansa went another direction (to write a letter to Littlefinger after seeing the ravens of Lyanna Mormont).

The second one was the night before the battle of the bastards, when Sansa warned Jon not to fall into Ramsay's trap. Jon answered Sansa sarcastically and she left Jon alone after telling him she won't go to Ramsay alive.

On both instances, Sansa felt like she's talking to a wall, so she just gave up and distanced herself from Jon.

The same thing happened in the first episode of season 7. First, Sansa objects to Jon's policy, Jon shuts her down. The next scene Sansa warned him about Joffrey, Ned and Robb, then Jon sarcastically answered.

Jon wanted Sansa to feel like he dismisses her ideas, so she'll leave him alone. The problem is, Sansa is not taking the bait.

When Jon reprimanded Sansa about speaking up against him in front of their bannermen, she took it in stride.

Sansa then warned Jon about Joffrey who doesn't listen to anyone's advice, but Jon took her warning as an insult. On that scene, Jon stopped walking while letting Sansa walk ahead. Then when Sansa noticed (no, you're not tricking her into walking away Jon!), she walks back to where Jon is.

She then gave him the best compliment ever, telling him he's as far from Joffrey as anyone she's ever met. And that he's good at ruling.

(Okay, I think my shipper goggles just gave me x-ray vision, because it looks to me like Jon's heart grew three sizes! Lol! I think Jon is experiencing tightness in his chest and shortness of breath.)

Heart enlargement is bad so Jon decides to think of something unromantic, to restore his heart's original size. And the first thing he thought of was... horseshit!

Jon was able to walk away again after horseshit, but Sansa is not letting him leave. She grabbed Jon's arm and he lookes partly surprised and partly exasperated (because he still can't escape).

(Btw, this shipper goggles has new features. It allows me to read minds, and I can hear Jon internally screaming when Sansa touched him. "How dare you touch me!!! Don't you know that I cannot deny you anything you ask for when you're holding me???")

She’s not letting him go, so he decided to pick a fight by insulting her.

I really want to bludgeon Jon here, but I had a mini-epiphany:

Jon/Sansa is not as similar to Ygritte/Jon as I originally thought.

When Ygritte was mean and condescending to Jon, it was because she wanted to get his attention. When Jon acted that way to Sansa, it's because he wanted her to go away.

I realized when Jon sarcastically asked "And what would make me smarter? Listening to you?", he was not questioning Sansa's intelligence. Jon knows "Sansa is cleverer than him." My silly fangirl interpretation is that he wanted to make her feel that no matter how smart she is, he's not gonna listen to her. (So she’ll go away...)

I think if Maester Wolkan did not interrupt them to give Cersei’s message, Jon’s wall would have crumbled. Sansa was holding him, asking if listening to her would be so terrible, giving him her version of puppy eyes. Who could resist that? Not Jon.

So Jon's last hurrah! The scene where Sansa warned Jon not to underestimate the enemy from the South. I agree that the Others are much bigger threat to the North, but Jon can't just ignore Cersei. Cersei might not be able to send an army to the North, specially in Winter, but she could still send an assassin to kill Sansa or Jon (or Bran and Arya when they return home).

I don't understand why Jon said Sansa sounds like she admires Cersei (except maybe to point out to the viewers the Cersei/Sansa parallel). The only reason I can think of (ship-wise) is that he wanted to get back at Sansa when she compared him to Joffrey. Only, Sansa did not take what Jon said as an insult and she didn't walked out on him.

I think Sansa speaking her mind show how much she trusts Jon. When she's with Jon, "she can pipe up whenever she wants" because she knows no matter what she say or do, even if Jon disapproves, she will always be safe with him.

Now, speculation time!

We know Jon will be leaving for the South soon, probably next episode.

I was wondering how come Jon is willing to leave Sansa with Littlefinger just to get the dragon glass? Didn't he promise that he will protect her? Couldn't he just send one of his trusted advisor/friend (Davos) South to negotiate for him? I mean Sansa sent Brienne to ask the Blackfish for help. Sure Brienne failed, but I think Davos could negotiate better than Jon.

Of course the real reason why Jon needs to go South are: 1. Plot. He needs to meet Damny. 2. (Shipping plot.) He needs to get away from Sansa.

I think Jon will learn next episode that he does not need to protect Sansa from Littlefinger. However, Jon might feel he needs to protect Sansa from himself. Jon does not ship JonSa so he'll think it's better if he goes South. (I wish Bran would come home and tell Jon of his parentage so Jon won't feel like he need to go South himself, but alas, plot.)

If Jon is going South soon, then I expect some more lovely shippy JonSa scenes before he goes away. Because seriously, if you're about to leave the love of your life (lol! Shipping goggles) and you won't be seeing her for a long time, I would think you'd be more sweet and you'd give more heart eyes before you say goodbye. (Of course my speculations have a bad habit of biting my ass so...)

The rest of the season will be crappy for my JonSa heart because who doesn't fall in love with Damnerys? (I mean, not counting all the Khals she burned and the Masters she killed of course.) Everyone kneels to this goddess of destruction.

I can only take comfort in knowing that if Jon does not ship JonSa, he would be so much more repulsed when he realized the truth about J0n3rys.

Oh well... For now, I'm gonna enjoy using my shipping goggles before it shatters.

Three rulers, three thrones...

I was re-watching the “long walk” promo for GoT, the one that features Cersei, Daenerys and Jon walking towards their thrones. This promo made me think about the visual staging of power as well as the statement the art direction conveys about these three different rulers.

Cersei Lannister in King’s Landing:

Cersei has claimed the Iron Throne - clad in black armour-like dress, the stylized lion’s head on her crown visually echoes the spiked swords of the throne.

In this wide shot, notice how the Iron Throne sits upon an elevation that requires several steps to reach from the floor. As a general rule, a royal throne (as it is a seat symbolizing power) is always a bit elevated from the floor but rarely to this degree. Here, people literally have to crane their necks to look up on their ruler. Thus we get an impression of absolute domination, which dovetails perfectly with the aesthetics of the throne itself. (It is one of the reasons why I want that damn ugly chair destroyed - it is a symbol of a toxic heritage that has cause more grief than good).

According to history, the Iron Throne was forged (by dragonfire) by 1000 swords that were surrendered to Aegon the Conqueror (x). The Iron Throne is itself a powerful and ugly manifestation of conquest and absolute dominion. It is a chair for a ruler who thinks him/herself above everyone else - both in terms of power but perhaps also in terms of morality. The Targaryen dynasty certainly acted that way - like they were above the laws of men and gods, which ultimately caused their downfall.

Daenerys Targaryen at Dragonstone:

I must admit that this is an absolutely stunning visual! 

Though we, the audience, have seen Dragonstone before, we haven’t seen the throne room until now. Unlike the Iron Throne, Dany’s throne - the chair she sits in - is much less imposing but it is set against a jaw-dropping visual backdrop! She literally looks like she’s embedded in the unworked, jagged black rock that her throne is placed before. The black rock itself bring to mind a frozen flow of lava and this perfectly underscores the wild, elemental force of fire that Dany has consistently been associated with (especially in the last season). Dany’s power is ultimately rooted in her dragons - and they embody an elemental force of nature, fire made flesh. 

Daenery is dressed all in black with a slight dark red accent (the cape) - and she almost disappears into the black rock/lava, only her hair and the backrest of her throne providing a contrasting focal point in visual terms. She is also elevated and removed from the rest of the room - and while she appears powerful, she also appears alone and isolated. 

In visual terms, Daenerys’ throne room on Dragonstone presents a staging of power that is even more dramatic than the Iron Throne in the Red Keep. Where the Iron Throne symbolizes absolute domination, the throne room at Dragonstone brings to mind powerful elemental forces that are barely contained. That is pretty much the core of Daenerys and her dragons - and the hell they’ll unleash upon Westeros.

Jon Snow at Winterfell:

What I found very interesting about the “long walk” promo is that Jon is the only one of the three rulers who don’t sit down on his throne! I do think that is an important detail - why else make this break in the pattern?

His throne is also very unassuming. It is, in fact, just a chair - and not a particularly fancy one either. Neither is it different from any of the other chairs in the room.

However, this seeming lack of staging is, in fact, another variation of the visual stage management of power - it simply conveys a very different message than what the throne rooms of Cersei and Daenerys.convey. 

Several things are noteworthy. Firstly, Jon is flanked by Sansa and Davos - the only thing that denotes his special position is his placement in the centre, between his two primary supporters/advisors. Secondly, his chair/throne is not physically elevated from the rest of the room. His seat is simply a humble chair and a stout wooden table. The placement of the table creates a visual and physical barrier to the rest of the room where the Northern bannermen sit.

This wideshot establishes that Jon’s seat isn’t physically elevated from the rest of the room (the Great Hall of Winterfell). This is, in visual and symbolic terms, an incredibly powerful message! The King, the Lady of Winterfell and the bannermen are all on an equal footing! In a feudal society like Westeros, this is completely unprecedented!!! 

Even Lord Stark had an elevated seat in Great Hall, against a backdrop of an impressive wood carving, which we see in season 1.

The Stark lords knew the value of a symbolic staging of power. In season 1, the Lord’s Seat at Winterfell looks wild and imposing in a somewhat understated manner (if we compare visuals to the other seats of power mentioned). However, these elements - the elevated dais and the carved screen - are notably absent in the Great Hall of Winterfell in season 6 and season 7. Why is that? Were they destroyed by the occupying forces? Perhaps, but unlikely - Theon, after all, styled himself Prince of Winterfell and Roose Bolton was a canny man who most likely had a similar thing at the Dreadfort. However, in-world speculations like those above are really not that important because the stagesetting is ultimately for the benefit of the audience. It conveys meaning, it is the part of the visual storytelling - it tells us something about the various characters and their approach to power. 

The aesthetic of Jon’s seat of power - the Great Hall of Winterfell - is spare, even ascetic! This isn’t a statement of domination like the Iron Throne or of raw power like Dragonstone. Rather it is a statement of the co-operation of equals, led by a man that has been elected to office. That is a radically different message than the statements made by the Iron Throne in the Red Keep and the Throne Room at Dragonstone.
