Ok but the Kingsguard is basically a boyband of ugly people that commit war crimes for their manager

@frcerisen​ : starter call ( for ventress ) .

boba rips the helmet off his head, as if the need to have witnesses to his anger was stronger than common sense. “YOU.” 

he’s pointing at her. feet apart, spine straight. target locked and the whole busy street has to know about it. this is his territory anyway, his hunting grounds and she should have taken that into consideration. in fact, he better let her know that: “you’ve got a lot of nerve showing your face around here after what you did to me !!”

AU where everything is the same but Euron’s big bad speech is just the navy seal copypasta

Aeron: No godless man may sit the seastone chair

people who blame Sansa for intentionally poisoning Sweetrobin should be made to give an impromptu lecture on common cumulative poisons and their effects because apparently everyone is just supposed to know that shit and be able to identify symptoms off the top of their head???

me when an ASOIAF character says that they ARE the animal on their sigil

[tweedfrog]

You ever think about how if Jon or Daenerys are Azor Ahai then Ned Stark essentially saved the world with no ulterior motive - he was just a good person who wanted to protect his sisters son and didnt want a 13 year old girl to be assassinated.

Ned Stark stands in direct contrast with people like Rhaegar who abandoned his wife and children to fuck a teenager for prophecy or Melisandre advocating burning people alive and its just like........damn Ned really is out here proving that the ends absolutley DO NOT justify the means and yes ultimately being a good person is better in the long run even if you die before you get to see those benefits.

[tweedfrog]

If both Robert and Rhaegar die at the trident, and all relevant political parties have that info, how do you see things play out/how would you want it to play out ?

Oh man I’m not sure this would end up with a much better outcome for Elia, Rhaenys and Aegon because the main architect of their misery (Tywin) is still alive. While Robert sanctioned Tywin’s crimes he didn’t actually commit them. I think Tywin analysed Robert’s natgure quite well - he wanted to appear as a hero, and heroes dont murder women and children. I tend to think if the gates hadn’t been opened to Tywins forces Ned could have talked Robert down from doing anything violent to Elia and the kids, in a similar way to how he stopped Robert from assassinating Daenerys in canon.

So if Tywin reaches Kings Landing before Ned in this AU I can see it going down similarly  - with Elia and Aegon and Rhaenys dead and Tywin gifting their corpses to whoever claims power while marrying them to Cersei. Or if he’s feeling arrogant enough maybe he’d try to do what Cersei suggested and crown Jaime and try to establish some sort of Lannister ruling dynasty. Whether anyone would accept this is questionable (the Lannisters have no Targaryen blood to appeal to loyalists unlike the Baratheons). but I do think Tywin would be tempted by the idea.

If Ned reaches Kings Landing before Tywin’s forces then I can see Elia getting treated similarly to Jeyne Westerling - kept effectively as a hostage for Dorne’s good behaviour and forbidden from marrying for 2 years to prevent anyone from trying to claim that she had a third child by Rhaegar. I think Aegon would wind up being a hostage until he was old enough to be sent off the the Nights Watch to remove his claim and Rhaenys would probably get given over to the faith or married to an INCREDIBLY loyal house. I tend to think Rhaenys would get the faith as well though and not a marriage because although Rhaenyra was generally hated after her stint on the iron throne she had shown that some people were fine fighting to sit a Targaryen women on the throne.

Honestly I find Elia’s rape and murder and the murder of Rhaenys and Aegon some of the stupidest and most pointless deaths in the series and I very much think GRRM’s tendency to brutalize people of colour to illustrate what a crapsack world Westeros is went up against the logic of his own story. And somehow logic lost out.

You can make arguments that a living Aegon would be a threat to the ruler of the throne and that he had to die. It’s evil but I can at least see the logic behind that - but Elia isn't a threat at all and whatever threat Rhaenys poses can be neutralised.

If anything keeping Rhaenys alive and marrying her to the heir of the new dynasty makes much more sense and would have been more effective to consolidate power. Even in the text there are examples of this occuring - Argella Durrandon marrying Orys Baratheon and The Stark kings marrying the daughters of the petty kings they defeated come to mind.

Ofc the ideal situation is that Elia somehow manages to kill Aerys, get ravens to everyone in time, bribe Mace to shift his butt to Kings Landing with a promise of Aegon for Margarey or a spot as Aegon’s regent and manage to crown Aegon in time.

any fic recs from this year?

ASOIAF fics

Anything by Becky_Blue_Eyes - my personal faves are:

Queen of the May - you guys are probably sick of me recomending this one but it was amazing so i’m reccing it again. Rhaenys lives AU mashup with Midsommar.

The Girl with Blood Moon Eyes - Rhaegar won AU where Rhaenys has some pretty dark magic powers and gets to go feral with them. We love to see it.

Untouched by Tears; Completely Undefeated - If you hate OP Jon Snow Harem fics where Jon is surrounded by sexy swooning women and dragons 24/7 this parody fic is for you.

Her stuff for The Tudors is just *chefs kiss* if you are in that fandom. She also writes for Star Wars!

Anything by Aegonbeingfakeisracist

Princess of Summerhall - explores Rhaenys and Rhaegar’s relationship, and Rhaenys’ feelings in a Rhaegar won AU

Change my state with kings - Rhaenys lives, but as a hostage of the new King Robert in the Red Keep. This one had me ugly crying at 3 am.

Nanso 

And So the Sun Saved a Wolf - a great Brandon/Elia AU series that made me take interest in the pairing!

Tell Me of Her - canon Aegon reflects upon his mother and who she was as a person. Stories where Aegon is a fully fleshed out human being instead of some evil prop for the story are sadly lacking in this fandom but this story lets us take a peek into his head.

Malevolent and without form by SecondStarOnTheLeft

I was a huge fan of the original one-shot and when I saw the author wrote a second part I screeched. A semi-Rhaegar won AU where Elia deals with the mess of what occured. Definitley THE story for people who want an Elia who comes out on top and isn’t a doormat that loves Rhaegar and Jon and Lyanna

My mother’s fury (makes mine seem nothing) - by queen_elenei

A modern AU one-shot about Arianne in a faith of the Seven school dealing with sexism. I would love to see more fics where the fetishization/hypersexualization that Arianne faces as a WoC is addressed. Also as someone who went to Catholic school I can confirm this is spot on.

Dawn's Chosen by wingsofthenight 

ASHARA DAYNE AS SWORD OF THE MORNING. I REPEAT A ONE-SHOT OF ASHARA DAYNE AS SWORD OF THE MORNING. Also Ashara/Elia for all 7 of us EliShara shippers out there.

Lesser Beasts by Sansakatara

The trident scene from Cersei’s perspective. I thought Cersei’s superiority complex really shined through in this and it was an interesting take on a scene that is pretty much notorious in this fandom.

A Song of Siblings by ariel2me

A really really excellent drabble collection focused on the relationship between siblings in Asoiaf. If you enjoy minor characters like me this collection really comes through!

Non-ASOIAF fics

Harry potter

Barbed Wire, Grass Crown by dwellingondreams

Ever wondered what a realistic Tom Riddle/OC story would look like? Look no further! In this series Tom isn’t turned into some secret villain with a heart of gold for 1 (one) person but he’s also not an evil caricature. A very interesting exploration of the Harry Potter world pre-series.

They also write ASOIAF fics! If you are interested in the Starks I would recommend giving their works a read!

Avatar: The Last Airbender

run, run, run, by bonn

a Modern AU Sokka/Zuko series- my friend Bonn wrote this and i was crying by the third sentence and im barely in the ATLA fandom. Angsty but ultimately hopeful and sweet. The mortifying ordeal of being known. Sokka playing volleyball and being cool and going to house parties. What more can you want?

If you go to my fic rec tag you can see more fics that I’ve reblogged.

There were plenty of amazing fics I read this year and if i listed them all i’d be racking my brains all night so these are the ones that i have read most recently/or really stood out to me.

[tweedfrog]

This is totally because I just watched Alice in Borderland but Takeru Danma as modern AU Euron is a galaxy brain fancast. And imagine the comedy potential if his ~ominous eyepatch~ was just a pair of sunglasses he wore everywhere
