Just wanted to point out, Arrax (Lucerys' dragon) is also son of Syrax (Rhaenyra's dragon)... so both mothers are mourning in this scene

" no king but the king in the north „

" whose name is stark „

where did the idea that alicent is only a victim in the show but an evil mastermind in the book come from because like. well what might having to play stepmommy to a nine year old starting from age eighteen and then having to compete with said child for the personal and political affection of your husband the king for decades do to your mind

H: "It has eyes, though, I don't believe it can see." A: "And why is that so, do you think?" H: "It is beyond our understanding."

L: "People have eyes, boy. Yet his Grace the King, it seems, will not accept what his eyes see. This flimsy shield alone stands between you, and the headsman. The willful blindness of a father towards his child."

H: "The last ring has no legs at all."

Helaena's first prophecy in S1 E6. The more I see it the more I believe it refers to Viserys' terrible parenting and how it propelled the events of the Dance and the end of the Targaryen dynasty as rulers with Bran the Broken.

He really did start it all.

When talking about the characters in asoiaf I often see people saying that you can’t judge them based on modern standards I to a point agree with. At the same time George is a modern man with modern standards who wrote the books. He wrote them in the modern times but he wrote his world and the rules and laws and morals of it based off the past. So to really understand the characters you have to be able to look at them and see it through both sides modern and medieval.

At this Point the plot of HOTD is so far from fire & blood, and the writing is so ridiculous that they should just lean into it and add time travel to fix the ending of game of thrones....💩💩💩

Can you imagine?

saw a tiktok comparing Catelyn Stark to Alicent Hightower (ss dow below) and since this is such a brain dead take I felt the need to write this out.

First of all, calling Peytr Catelyns lover is so fucking disgusting. Catelyn has never EVER looked at petyr with anything other than brotherly affection. They played "kissing games" as children but Cat was quick to end them whereas Lysa kept playing them with him. In fact, when he tried to kiss her again after she was betrothed to Brandon Stark she pushed him away laughing...LAUGHING GUYS. When brandon died, petyr sent her a letter and burnt the fuck out of it and went on to marry ned stark and eventually fall in love with him. do not ever call catelyn and peytr lovers smh.

Second of all, Catelyn was not particularly angry at ned for having an affair and producing a bastard, she was angry that she brought jon into her new home to raise as she saw that as a threat to her children and grandchildrens inheritance. Catelyn had an actual valid reason to fear her husbands supposed bastard. Catelyn lived in the aftermath of the blackfyre rebellions and her society could still feel the after affects of bastard siblings rising up to take claim to their trueborn siblings inheritances. Alicent however???? she just straight up hated bastards and hated Rhaenyra. It wouldnt have mattered is Rhaenyras kids were bastards as their claim comes through her. Alicent had no valid reason to hate Rhaenyras children as Rhaenyra was heir to the throne, Alicents children had no claim in the eyes of the Iron Throne because Viserys had chosen his heir.

Also, dont compare Catelyns mothering to Alicent. In peace times, Alicent set her 13 year old daughter with her creepy rapist son because she so badly wanted to overthrow Rhaenyra. She may have loved her children in her own way, but alicent most definitely saw her children as a way to gain more power. Catelyn, on the other hand, was a loving mother who did all she could to protect her children. Catelyn was constantly looking for ways to save her daughters. She fought off an assassian that was after bran. She does all she can to support and aid robb as a king going through a war. Hell man, her very last act (before getting resurrected) is to try to barter for robbs' life, and death doesn't even stop this woman. She puppets her fucking corpse around to get vengance for her children, one of these women was a better mother and let me tell you it was not alicent fucking hightower.

I've linked the og tiktok so you can have even more context but this shit pissed me off badddd.

Akira Amano designed the characters for “Suicide Squad Isekai.” How much do you think has Akira been influenced by Harley Quinn giving life to Alice Moriarty? Or at least a small percentage of it?

Anyway, we will suffer today.

PS: Will someone do a RonToto illustration with them cosplaying as Joker (Ron) and Harley Quinn (Toto) ?

“Time is different for a tree than for a man. Sun and soil and water, these are the things a weirwood understands, not days and years and centuries. For men, time is a river. We are trapped in its flow, hurtling from past to present, always in the same direction. The lives of trees are different. They root and grow and die in one place, and that river does not move them.”

GoT/HotD playlist

I was honestly going to make my own, but I just can't decide so I figured I'd get everyone else's opinion.

I'm making a GoT/HotD playlist- one song for every character.

What song makes you think of a character?

Ex: "Christmas Kids" by Roar- it's so Arya Stark.

"You'll change your name or change your mind And leave this fucked up place behind

But I'll know, I'll know I'll know, I'll know I'll know, I'll know I'll know, I'll know"

Some contenders that I know fit someone but I can't decide who:

"The World We knew" by Frank Sinatra

"I wanna be yours" by Arctic Monkeys

"One" by Aeriet Ballet

"Vampire Empire" by Vampire Empire

"Not a lot, just forever" by Adrianne Lenker

"Half return" by Adrianne Lenker

"Le Monde" by Richard Carter

"Here with me" by d4vd

"Silver Springs" by Fleetwood Mac

"Little Dark Age" by MGMT

"The Night we Met" by Lord Huron

"Hidden in the Sand" by Tally Hall

"Sailor Song" by Gigi Perez

"Me and the Devil" by Soap&Skin

"La leçon particulière" by Francis Lai

Start throwing out songs and people- I wanna hear them ALL!!
