alys rivers, witch queen of harrenhal

“Who was this woman? A serving wench who dabbled in potions and spells, says Munkun. A woods witch, claims Septon Eustace. A malign enchantress who bathed in the blood of virgins to preserve her youth, Mushroom would have us believe.“

“Was she in truth a witch who lay with demons, bringing forth dead children as payment for the knowledge they gave her? Was she a simpleminded slattern, as Eustace believes? A wanton who used her poisons and potions to bind men to her, body and soul?”

“Mushroom suggests that the two men had become rivals for the affections of the wet nurse Alys Rivers, who had used love potions and philtres to inflame their passions. Septon Eustace echoes the dwarf in part, but says it was Aemond alone who had become besotted with the Rivers woman, to such an extent that he could not bear the thought of leaving her.”

“The castle stood empty no more than three days before Lady Sabitha Frey swooped down to seize it. Inside she found only Alys Rivers, the wet nurse and purported witch who had warmed Prince Aemond’s bed during his days at Harrenhal, and now claimed to be carrying his child. “I have the dragon’s bastard in me,” the woman said, as she stood naked in the godswood with one hand upon her swollen belly. “I can feel his fires licking at my womb.”

“Arriving before the walls of Harrenhal, however, he found the gates closed and hundreds of armed men on the battlements. There were at least six hundred souls within the castle, a third of them men of fighting age. When Ser Regis demanded to speak to their lord, a woman emerged to treat with him, with a child beside her. The “witch queen” of Harrenhal proved to be none other than Alys Rivers, the baseborn wet nurse who had been the prisoner and then the paramour of Prince Aemond Targaryen, and now claimed to be his widow.”

“Don’t come again unless you mean to bend your knees, she says. Any man who comes near her walls will die. There’s power in them stones, and the widow’s woken it.”

Fire & Blood, George R. R. Martin

anonymous requested: an edit of your favourite ancient roman figure

AGRIPPINA THE Y O U N G E R | fancast: jessica brown findlay for just a minute, she was the most powerful person in the entire western world. until she made the official announcement, she was empress and there was no emperor. and i wonder if, for a heartbeat, she considered  taking it for herself. just a single heartbeat, because she was too pragmatic and sensible and aware of the realities of the world to really try it, but just for that heartbeat, do you think she was tempted? her husband lay dead on the bed. her son was just seventeen. she was thirty-nine, and a widow for the third time. she had been a sister of the emperor, hailed by him and adored, and she had been an exile. she had been terrified for her life so many times, terrified her son would not meet adulthood. she had been worshipped in asia and adored in rome. she was the daughter of germanicus, the great-granddaughter of augustus. she had her divine blood. she had ruled the empire like no woman before her. she was agrippina augusta, the first and last. | agrippina: empress, exile, hustler, whore by emma southon, 2018

Hey so head canons about appearance when there is not a lot of concrete descriptors in the source material are very much up to the listener. Y’all gotta stop acting like people who don’t agree with the hive mind of this fandom are fat phobic or racist.

My personal, original, character headcanons before becoming active in the online fandom:

John:

Short, neatly combed hair. British south Asian who dressed in like elbow patches and bullshit hipster glasses he didn’t even need but wore cus he wanted to look like a distinguished professor. First edition books on his desk. The kinda dude who smokes a pipe for the aesthetic and refuses to drink well drinks at the bar. Basically a pretentious little twink so kinda on the money with the popular opinions tbh.

Martin:

Curly light brown hair. Clean shaven. Freckles and the kinda pale skin that gets blotchy/flushed easily. Grandad glasses but not like in a trendy way. In a thrift store cus he’s poor kinda way. In my head he has medium build. Like not muscled or fit, but not plus sized either. Just tall and solid with threadbare lil sweaters and he absolutely decorated his institute lanyard with vintage broaches. Rarely wears matching socks.

Tim:

Tim in my head is just Phil Wang in like California surfer fits. Dude wears board shorts and flip flops with his collared short sleeved shirts and ties. Really good at beer pong and pub quizzes.

Sasha:

Jessica Brown Findlay meets Angel Colby but like with hip style and ink smudges on her fingers and a cheekier attitude. Catherine Bohart personality vibes would be a close comparison but not quite on the money.

Elias:

Artfully dyed grey hair to hide his actual grey hair with that 1920-30 little bang wave. Lean but not like scrawny. Slacks, perfectly ironed dress shirts, douchebag Patagonia vests. His loafers cost more than a years rent in central and he has days of the week cuff links. He has the fake corporate smile that promises shitty snacks and forced ice breaker games and incredibly polished generic conversations.

Gertrude:

Lily Tomlin if she were British and way more serious. Yes, this makes me laugh now too.

Basira:

Literally just one of my friends but butched up a bit. (Sorry that’s not helpful for y’all’s imagination) intense when it comes to studying and pushing herself. Button ups and slacks and sensible shoes.

Daisy:

Long box black hair always in a bun but but with an under cut. Strong af but not bulky. Mean lesbian vibes. Sleeves always rolled up to her elbows and her shirts tucked in.

Melanie:

My self insert character. Bi bitch. Backwards baseball cap. Jeans and converse or docs. Oversized sweatshirts. Not cute knit sweaters but like old band crew necks and hoodies and soccer kits. (If anybody would love to go scream at the opposition fans it’s Melanie okay)Nose ring, messy hair to her shoulders. Always looking for a fight and a puzzle to solve.

Georgie:

Rose Matafeo if she was less chaotic and more put together. A wearer of Overall dresses with colorful tights and floral printed cardigans. A lover of tote bags and planners. She has a sticker of The Admeral on her hydro.

It’s really sad, I check for Alys/Aemond content every day but there’s hardly anything now that we have official casting. It’s like everyone gave after they realized we weren’t getting Katie McGrath as Alys ffs. Makes me so mad. Gayle is perfect and I was hoping to see people share gifs and edits of her. Watch everyone turn coat and be active again when we first see her as Alys and how perfect she will be.

Right? It's so disappointing. And Gayle is gonna rock it. She is a highly trained actor, she graduated from Juillard for fucks sake. She obviously nailed her audition, and from the vibe I get from her, her and Ewan probably clicked immediately upon meeting. I mean, she wasn't even on my list of choices for Alys - mostly because I hadn't heard of her until she was cast - (my little heart was set on Jessica Brown Findlay lol) - but once I got to know her, I was literally vibrating with excitement.

And the thing is, we don't even know if Katie was interested in the role. There was absolutely no inclination of her wanting to be a part of the cast - and the role of Alys seems very similar to Morgana Pendragon, so would she even have wanted to play the same character twice? So I don't understand why folks got so upset over Alys not being played by her or someone like Eva Green, because we just don't know if they tried out.

Some of the content might have gone down because Gayle doesn't have a huge filmography, she's still relatively new, and there isn't that much footage of her that is workable as Alys atm without extensive photoshop. I have certainly run into that issue myself.

Makes me nervous for how folks are gonna react to Hugo Papiernik's official casting as Daeron, and he is obviously not Harry Gilby or Lucas Lynggaard Tønnesen.

And all this "hate" that H*la*monders insist they are getting from us evil Alys fans - there aren't any of us here right now, so...I'm not sure where this "hate" is coming from.

Alden’s bare chest is just too sexy for Tumblr ... I am censored again. Kill me now.

Hi, it’s me again. I'm posting picture of Alden Ehrenreich and Jessica Brown Findlay in Brave New World. Jessica is dressed in a dark blue robe, Alden has his shirt off. Apparently this has broken Tumblr and my posts are being censored AGAIN. What am I supposed to do to please these people, algorithms, bots? I'm heartbroken to be unable to share tonight's program with you because I worked really hard making and editing the screen caps and gifs. Alden is so wonderfully handsome and talented; it's a beautiful, tender scene with nothing elicit … but Tumblr won’t allow me to share it. I’ve written, I’ve appealed and get no response. I just don’t know what more to do at this point but cry. Please watch “Brave New World” on Peacock. It’s just SO good and if you’re and Alden Ehrenreich fan, you shouldn’t miss out. I’ll post some gifs on my Twits at least. >>> https://twitter.com/MonikaShouse

[allieconfyart]

⚓️  Lady Elissa Farman was a noblewoman of House Farman and the daughter of Lord Marq Farman. She had blue eyes and long flaxen hair, and she was high-spirited. Archmaester Gyldayn describes her as “sharp of wit and sharper of tongue.” Elissa loved horses, dogs, and hawks. She was a fine singer and a skilled archer, but her great love was sailing. Maester Smike reported that Rhaena Targaryen and Elissa Farman were lovers. He wrote in one of his letters to the Citadel: “The queen [Rhaena Targaryen] found her true love on Fair Isle, not with Androw, but with his sister, Lady Elissa.”
