#dominion is definitely set during the winter

Does Chaos Theory take place before dominion? Is there some sort of timeline?

Yep! It takes place before Dominion. September 2022 is when our show is set.

Zapped to Another World

Genshin Impact x Fem!Reader

I wrote this in my spare time when I was working back in November and thought that I should share this ^-^ 

Depending on the comments/notes and if I have spare time, I may be updating this. 

[Masterlist]

The rain poured down your umbrella. The clouds coloured the sky a dark grey as you ran for the bus. You sighed as you reached the traffic light. Yup, you were definitely not going to be able to catch it now.

School had ended for the year, which meant more free time for you and the new game you had recently gotten into. Genshin Impact.

You could not help but smile at the thought of it. With school out of the picture, you could finally focus on the game completely. There was so many things to do. Farming for artifacts, completing your daily commissions…

You sloshed your way over as the lights turned green. While you love that school is out, you honestly hated the wet weather that came with the winter break and the feeling of wet socks on your feet. After safely crossing the road, you winced as a white truck rushed by, soaking your clothes through as the giant puddle you have been trying to avoid poured onto your skirt and legs.

You let out a sigh as you quickly took shelter under a tree nearby to try and wring out the remaining water when it happened.

“Just my luck…”You muttered as you clumsily balanced your umbrella, “Can it get any worse?”

Just as those words left your lips, it happened. A white flash lit the sky for a brief second. But it was too late. Thousands of volts came cascading upon your body and everything turned white.

“This is your fault.” You heard a voice. It sounded like a young, sulky boy.

“How is this my fault? You’re the one who lashed out when I put down that +4 card down.”

“THAT AIN’T FAIR STILL! I WAS SO CLOSE TO WINNING AND YOU BLEW IT!”

“Uh…What’s going on?” You blinked as your vision settled. You sat in what looked like a library of sorts, with several shelves lining the walls and a long white and gold marble table in the centre of it all. A girl with long, platinum hair glared down at her male counterpart, who huffed in annoyance.

“How about you explain it to her, Artem.”

“Sorry, but I don’t speak to cheaters.”

“Oh for gods sake- fine. We apologize for uhm…Killing you. Truly, a thousand apologies. If only someone can control their temper for once in their life-“ The girl shot a dirty look at Artem.

“LIKE YOU ARE ONE TO TALK! SOLARIA, YOU SINGED MY EYEBROWS OVER KILLING YOU IN AMONG US!”

“Well excuse you! My anger was perfectly justified! You voted me out even when I told you the truth and that I was innocent!”

“DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT WAS TO EMBROIDER AND GROOM THEM BACK TO NORMAL AGAIN?”

“Could you guys please stop fighting for 10 seconds?” You yelled over the noise. The girl and boy finally stopped, leaving you to rub at your ringing ears.

You sighed. Kids were always a handful back in your home. You had to take care of your cousins whenever your aunt was over, and it often resulted with your ears ringing and your head pounding.

“What’s done is done. I’m…well, dead and I seriously have no idea where I am.” You said, trying to stay composed.

“Well…In your human terms, this is kind of like the After Life.” The boy, Artem explained, sighing as he put down his Uno cards.

“Or well, it shouldn’t since…You were supposed to live for like, another 50 to 60 years. But someone messed it up.” The girl, Solaria, summoned a book from a shelf. You blinked as a weathered leather book with gilded, golden pages floated down onto the table.

“Shut up. I said that I was sorry, didn’t I?” Artem groaned.

“Sir Artem, are you losing your braincells? I was the one who apologized. You still owe the human an apology.” Solaria bit back icily.  

With a wave of her hand, the pages of the book flipped and she studied it carefully for a minute before looking back up.

“Well, as a soul now, you have an option. You can go into Elysium or be reincarnated.” Solaria sighed as Artem huffed again.

“Huh. What do you know? Elysium sounds real good right about now-“You thought out loud as Artem’s eyes turned wide with fear.

“Please don’t go into Elysium!” Artem yelled. The books shook in the shelves as his voice echoed.

“Ow, inside voice please? Hasn’t your mother taught you better?” You winced in pain. It seems that immortals had a throat of steel, judging from the way they could shout infinitely.

“I’m really sorry, but if Dad finds out I brought in another human because I accidentally killed them…He’s going to banish me…To Earth…” Artem looked down onto the table.

He was unable to meet your eyes as you stared at him with bemusement.

“Yeah, as much as I hate to say it, please…Reconsider on our offer to reincarnate. He is on thin ice with Father and if he is banished, I’d have to take on his duties as well. I’m pretty exhausted with the workload as it is.” Solaria sighed.

“As long as it’s not Earth, I’m cool with it.” You looked up at the ceiling, which took your breath away. The entire solar system was on it. With it, was the familiar sphere of white, green and blue.

“Hm, that is easy enough. I could reincarnate you into my world.” Artem brightened up.

Solaria sighed with relief.

“And to make up for it, I could buff you up with a couple of blessings here and there-“

“Within reason.” Solaria cut in, with a sharp look at Artem.

“Psssh, as if it’s hard to make a Gnosis.” Artem had considerably relaxed after hearing your statement.

“Are you serious? Don’t you even know the situation down at Teyvat?!” Your eyes widened. Were they talking about what you were thinking of?

Artem rose to his feet, the ivory wings on his lower back flaring. His eyes gleamed gold as he stared down his sister.

“It’s my world. I do what I like with it. If you don’t like it, get a world of your own.”

“You only got your world because Mother took pity on you. Don’t act all big when you have killed so many humans.”  Solaria hummed, rolling her eyes.

“I’ll only grant this human the bare minimum. Anything more, and I’ll let Father know of your deeds thus far, even if it means more work for me.” Solaria glared back. Her eyes gleamed silver as she did so. You felt a shiver run down your spine. 

“That’s all that I’ll need then. Work on your blessings and gifts. I’ll work on mine.” Artem turned away from his sister. The siblings set to work, the atmosphere of ice cold professionalism now in the air.

Solaria rose from her place on the table. With a flick of a finger, the Uno cards vanished with a burst of gold sparkles. The leather book floated beside her as she constantly referred to its pages while flying around the room.

“Hmm…Not much of a combatant, I see. Polearms and swords will probably be hard for you. Perhaps…A catalyst?” She pulled out a bright blue book adorned in gold, with feathers sticking out.

Blowing off any dust from the beautiful book, she casually tossed it over her shoulder and onto you. You instinctively brought your arms up to protect your face but as the book hit your arms, it disappeared into a burst of gold.

“Huh?” You blinked as you saw the book reappear beside you, its pages flipping.

Solaria returned with a satchel and a bag of gold coins. Looking satisfied as she noticed the book beside you, she inserted the bag of coins into the satchel before sliding it over your shoulder. Solaria hummed to herself before smiling again.

Reaching behind her neck, Solaria detached a shimmering teardrop necklace before slipping it around yours.

“There’s nothing special about it, apart from it glowing. I thought it would be a nice touch.” Solaria winked at you. 

Tilting your chin up, you froze with shock as she pressed her lips against yours.

“WHAT WAS THAT FOR?” You felt heat rush to your cheeks.

“Oh, please. Don’t be flustered. That was merely a blessing of mine. It will help you when you need to speak with the natives of the land.” Solaria coolly said as she wiped her mouth.  

You were still reeling in shock. Your throat seemed to tighten as you coughed. 

“..Thank you, for agreeing with us on our selfish request. To be forcibly stripped of our powers can be the worst pain and humiliation a god or goddess can bear.” Solaria murmured to you as she hurried to the end of the room, where she knelt and seemed to draw symbols in gold.

You held back your tongue. ‘What about me? I got zapped to death here.’ You thought to yourself.

“It is done. Please step into that summoning circle there.” Artem held a floating, golden cylinder in his hands. Solaria rose from her place on the floor, gesturing for you to come over.

It was a Gnosis! You were quick to obey as you hurried to Solaria’s side.

Stepping into the centre, you turned to face Artem and Solaria, who stood side by side. They flared their wings as you sensed an energy swirl around you.

“I, Artem, God of the Moon, grant you passage and dominion over my world, Teyvat. Do you accept, (Y/N) (L/N)?” Artem’s voice echoed in your ears.

“I accept.” As the words left your lips, the Gnosis within his hands flew into your chest. You gasped as it did so, a heat spreading rapidly across your chest.

“Be safe on your travels, (Y/N) (L/N).” Solaria flashed a warm smile as you coughed.

“Resigno!”

The gold summoning circle glowed bright blue and you found yourself falling through the blue skies.

You screeched ungracefully as you fell from the sky headfirst. The green grass was coming up way too fast. 

‘Am I going to die again?’ You thought as you held out your arms to break your fall, only for a huge gust of wind to cushion your fall. 

“Huh?” You blinked in surprise as a person clad in green floated beside you. 

It was a young boy with 2 braids, which gleamed blue in the light. His eyes were a beautiful mix of green and blue. 

‘Venti?’ You gaped as he grabbed your hands and guided you back onto the ground. 

“Never thought I’d have an audience during my practice session. Are you okay?” Venti grinned at you. 

“Never...Never better. Thank you...”You gave a thumbs up as you got air back into your lungs again. 

His deft fingers plucked at his harp as he sat down on the soft grass. 

“It’s no problem. But what brings you here anyways? Not many people know of this spot.” Venti tilted his head. It seemed as though you uncovered his secret place. 

“I- uh well...Accidents happen. I’m not a mad fan or a stalker, I swear. Well, maybe I am a fan but still.” You rambled but you forced yourself to stop talking and to breath. Venti is real and he is in front of me. Venti is real and he is in front of me. 

Your heart was beating fast. 

‘I should say something smart, introduce myself or something.’ You thought to yourself as you composed yourself. 

You wanted to at least tell him your name but the words are out faster than you can stop them. 

“Wanna grab a drink?”

LwD 2.03: We’ll Always Have Tom Paris

I’ve lived in the same apartment for eight years now, and yesterday was the fifth catastrophic mechanical failure of the same bathroom toilet—all unrelated issues, too; this time it was the fill valve. At this point I don’t know whether to call a plumber or an exorcist… but anyway, it’s been kind of hard to focus on Star Trek! Ugh.

This week’s episode is credited to M. Willis, who I last encountered on She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, a show about which I wrote literally 100,000 words of fanfic last year, in between Picard and Lower Decks when I had no Star Trek to obsess over. Willis’s She-Ra episodes tended to be slightly off-format in execution, with big action set pieces, lots of characters in unexpected combinations, and usually an emotional game-changer of a climax—and her last credit on this show was “Much Ado About Boimler,” which obviously had all those elements too. She writes to her strengths!

Spoilers within:

If you need me, I’m going to be ugly-laughing about “Voy” for the rest of the day. (Wow, that does actually save a ton of time!)

SHAXS IS BACKXS!!!! The lower-deckers never knowing how or why a senior officer came back from the dead is a perfect microcosm of this show. I love that he still calls Rutherford “Baby Bear,” and I love the weird cosmic horror that LwD keeps sprinkling into the Star Trek universe. (What does that koala know?) I hope this doesn’t mean we’ve seen the last of Kayshon! His appearance on the bridge gives me hope we’ll get to keep both characters around.

Star Trek has always had fairly fuzzy world-building for the world outside Starfleet—understandable, since 99% of Star Trek takes place within Starfleet—but it’s been such a thrill to see LwD (and Picard) finally establish some in-universe pop culture that isn’t conveniently familiar to 20th- or 21st-century audiences. Like the Zebulon Sisters last season—a band that apparently does USO-style tours of Starfleet ships? Delightful. Kestra Troi-Riker having a t-shirt from a Sex Pistols cover band in Klingon? Fucking brilliant. Tendi bonding with the guy at the storage place over the “Klingon acid punk” playing from his little Bluetooth speaker? PUT IT IN MY VEINS.

They really put the character development in gear this week! I liked how we locked in a couple of things already established in extra-canonical material: Mariner’s bisexuality, which Mike McMahan mentioned in an interview last year, and Tendi’s given name, D’vana (which I was sure we’d heard on the show before, but I guess not?).

Speaking of Mariner’s love life, is human–Bynar dating just… by definition a threesome situation?

We learned a lot of new things about Tendi, though, and every single one makes her 10 times more interesting to me. Remember last season, when she said “many” Orions hadn’t been pirates or slavers “for over five years”? Is the implication that something happened in Orion culture—around the end of the Dominion War?—that led to Tendi (and presumably others) rejecting a life of crime and joining Starfleet? How long was she “the Mistress of Winter Constellations” before that—or is it more of an inherited title? I want more Tendi lore!!!!

(Speaking of Tendi’s life, another quick and confounding piece of information for my red-yarn “what the hell is up with Tendiford” theory board: Mariner asks if they’re dating and Tendi’s response is “Not really!” Not really? That’s not no, D’vana!)

This show continues to be a surprisingly conventional workplace sitcom underneath all the excellent Star Trek (and that’s not a bad thing, just a genre overlap that keeps falling out of the front of my mind). Boimler’s inability to use the computer hit way too close to home for me this week: a couple years ago, I returned to a job after a long-term leave of absence, during which time I’d been assigned to a new manager—who’d never had an employee return from long-term leave before, so he didn’t know what to do beforehand—so I spent my first day back just chilling at my desk, fucking around on my phone, because there was literally nothing else I could do without logging into the system first. Too real!

Something we’ve seen in this show that I’m not sure we’ve seen before w/r/t the food replicators is somebody putting a tray of food into the replicator to add more food on top of it—in this case Shaxs getting spicy kiwi ketchup (?!) on a hot dog he seems to have already replicated. (He couldn’t have asked for “hot dog, with spicy kiwi ketchup” in the first place? This is haunting me worse than him coming back from the dead.)

As a certified cat lady, the T’Ana plotline—and its resolution—made me laugh until I couldn’t breathe (unless that was the toxoplasmosis). I should have seen it coming, but I was too distracted by the second-hand embarrassment of them breaking “Jeremy” (and the completely unprecedented Star Trek plot of a doctor getting off on her grandmother’s family heirloom…).

Miscellany:

Jet offering to carry Boimler across the threshold of the door like a bride… am I going to ship THIS now?

Mariner interpreting Tendi’s “talk like a pirate!” in the same way a modern millennial would—“Arr, how ya be doin’ today, me fellow Orion?”—might have been my favourite dumb joke in the entire episode. (“I’m allergic to, uh, pheromones?”)

Tawny Newsome read the line about “only one name, like Odo!” in the script and apparently literally called Mike McMahan out of the blue to remind him that Odo’s name is short for “Odo’ital” and she didn’t want nitpicking nerds on her case. He told her the line was so funny he would accept the nitpicking, so don’t blame Tawny—she tried to warn him!

“There’s like, only a couple people in the quadrant who can say they got beat up by Tom Paris.” Is that a burn? I think that’s a burn.

Another banger of an episode. This show is more confident this season, and I’m loving it—and based on what I’ve heard from people who’ve seen the next two episodes, it only gets better from here. HYYYYYYYPE!!!!!!

See you next week—I’ve got to go fashion a toilet plunger into a crucifix, apparently.

GOT Season 8 Teaser Analysis

HBO has released a new teaser for the final season of Game of Thrones, and I am going to analyze what this trailer might mean.

But first, if you have not already watched it, I suggest doing it now by watching the video below.

The Difference Between Teaser and Trailer

The footage used in this video is not footage from the primary narrative. Rather, it appears specifically shot which non-narrative footage to invoke anticipation.

This is common in a lot of shows, but the majority of teasers are little more than pretty, animated slideshows that introduce a theme for the next season.

That is not what is happening here.

Rather, the directors of the show have chosen to pull some of the biggest actors of the series for a very expensive commercial which requires blocking, lighting, and CGI. Kit, Sophie, and Maisie do not talk, but there is dialogue from three dead actors, two of which have not been on the show for many seasons, and all which would require payment (or previous contractual agreement) for using their likeness.

That means this is not just a simple anticipatory teaser, but something which required days or even weeks on planning, filming, and editing all combined.

The Previous Teaser Is Important Too

That said, this is not the first teaser of the season, as that goes to the Dragonstone teaser, which you can rewatch below:

The Dragonstone teaser is exactly what most people think of high production teasers, and they are usually used by studios to hype their projects before editing is complete. In it, the winds of winter descend upon the North, freezing the Direwolf piece on the chessboard near a castle, presumably Winterfell, before moving further south. It is difficult for me to see exactly where but almost certainly still in the North, but it appears as if a dragon is frozen.

However, what is most interesting about this trailer is what happens next: the South is not frozen, but set aflame, seemingly from King’s Landing... as if it had self-immolated. That fire travels towards the Neck where it collides with the coming winter and creating a black wall.

Teasers are essentially metaphors - sort of like visual poetry that implies themes for the coming season. Shows with better budgets, like Game of Thrones can make a lot out of their teasers, and this teaser suggests that Game of Thrones is now a song of Ice and Fire (like the name of the book series).

Speaking of visual poetry, the title of the book series actually comes from a poem by Robert Frost, called Fire and Ice:

Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I’ve tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice.

This poem is interesting because there is this general idea that the worst sort of destruction comes from fire, and we actually do see that in the south with its traditional way of self-destruction through Cersei Lannister (what is clearly being implied in the teaser and prior seasons). However, that is not the only danger to Westeros, as the Winter itself is creating victims, and in a very particular order - first the Starks, and then the Targaryens.

But, if you go back to the poem that is alluded to in the series title, fire and ice are equal in its ability to destroy, and in the teaser what happens? They collide, but neither overtake the other. Rather, their war creates a wall ... and that wall appears to be made of Dragonglass.

You can be burned by fire. You can also be burned by ice.

This is a war on two fronts, and the fronts will collide and a weapon will be created that can kill. An article on Fansided by David Harris actually detailed the boundaries created in this collision. While I think some of what he says is wrong, I will post what I think is most relevant to my post.

None of what I am saying is unrelated to the new teaser - I will get there in a moment - but you need to understand the previous teaser to better appreciate what is happening in the new one.

But, back to what Harris said, the wall is created in a very particular geography. I mean like... super particular.

The Dragonglass Wall begins at Dragonstone and extends to Ironman’s Bay, effectively creating a new boundary... which wars tend to do. Harris also points out that fire and ice first collide on camera at the Trident, which is where Rhaegar Targaryen was defeated by Robert Baratheon.

This was a decisive battle that was decided by the figureheads of two opposing sides. It resulted in a terrible loss for the Targaryens, and prompted Aerys to send his pregnant wife Rhaella (with unborn Daenerys) to Dragonstone with Viserys. However, he kept Elia Martell’s children as hostages in King’s Landing to secure Dornish loyalty.

Robert Baratheon was wounded in battle, which meant Ned Stark had to lead Stark forces to King’s Landing to win the throne. Jaime later implies in the show that Ned could have taken the throne at that moment, but didn’t. However, it was not the Starks which sacked King’s Landing - that honor went to the Lannisters, who also ended up killing the King and Elia’s family.

I bring this all up because there is a heavy link of metaphor in alluding to this event. First, there will be another decisive battle, possibly at the Trident, and in that battle, if we remember the poem... then in this second touch of death it will be ice that is chosen.

But again... that wall is not breached... right?

Look at that map again. Here is what we know about that region before Season 8:

Everything North of the rivers are lands that Robb Stark easily defended in the War of Five Kings until he made poor decisions of alliance and leadership

The families with the most negative feelings towards the Starks, the Boltons and the Freys, have been eradicated to the last man.

The North and the Vale are definitely within the borders entirely. However, it is strongly implied by the teaser and the dividing line that Dragonstone may also be included in that wall, and since we know that the dragon was frozen in the teaser, something Targaryen is on that side, so either Daenerys is their ally, or Dragonstone is within Jon’s Targish hands.

The Starks have possible allies in the tenous lands that border what is solidly under their control: the Iron Islands and the Riverlands. Not secure allies, but possible allies.

To put it another way... all the lands in that dominion have some sort of familial tie to the Starks. The Starks have the North, but Sansa and Arya are also related to the Riverlands and the Vale. Theon is from the Iron Islands, and his loyalty seemed to be shifting back towards the Starks. And Jon is, of course, half Targaryen.

So let’s consider what happens when fire and ice collide again - what is the result?

I do not think an actual wall of dragonglass is going to be constructed - teasers are essentially extended metaphors after all. So what is this metaphor saying, exactly?

Metaphors, Poetry, and Teasers

Remember the poem? Because George R. R. Martin does, and he explains in this interview what he thinks about it, that informs the series:

Why your saga is called A Song of Ice and Fire, because of the Wall and the dragons or is something more beyond that?

Oh! That’s the obvious thing but yes, there’s more. People say I was influenced by Robert Frost’s poem, and of course I was, I mean... Fire is love, fire is passion, fire is sexual ardor and all of these things. Ice is betrayal, ice is revenge, ice is… you know, that kind of cold inhumanity and all that stuff is being played out in the books.

In the poem, the speaker says that “From what I’ve tasted of desire / I hold with those who favor fire” but this is the second battle at the Trident... and what happens the second time?: “But if I had to perish twice, / I think I know enough of hate / To say that for destruction ice / Is also great / And would suffice.”

There are only two families involved in the Trident in the past and in the future: The Starks and the Targaryens. Martin says that he sees fire as love and passion, but ice is betrayal and revenge - specifically the “cold inhumanity and all that stuff that is being played out in the books.”

The first war was about love. The Fiery Rhaegar Targaryen fell in love with Lyanna Stark, who essentially and icily betrayed her betrothed, Robert Baratheon. Robert Baratheon got his cold inhuman revenge against Rhaegar.

The second war?

First, let us remember that the Trident was seemingly about two mega forces, but in the end, resulted in the Ned Stark almost taking the throne. It was also a battle on behalf of a Stark woman who fell in love with the wrong man.

My theory is that the expanse of snow and the dragonglass wall does not represent the end of the North, but the renewal of it. The Starks took back the North from the Wall. Then... they commandeered a dragon for their cause.

And then?

They set their sights on the south to secure their kingdom, and from that conflict was a boundary protected by a weapon which symbolizes the struggle of the North: dragonglass. And what does dragonglass do?

Eradicate two enemies to their sovereignty: the White Walkers and Daenerys Targaryen. However, just like with the Battle of the Trident during Robert’s Rebellion, the war did not end there. Ned Stark had to go south in order to free his sister from King’s Landing... only she was not there.

In Robert’s Rebellion and in the War of the Five Kings the Starks were interested in taking King’s Landing.

My theory is that the wall represents a heroic figure created out of the conflict - a weapon personified: that weapon is Jon Snow.

Some have suggested he will carry lightbringer, but what I think the myth of Lightbringer tells us is that it is a weapon used against a series of three enemies.

And three enemies are what the Starks have.

Heroes are Forged, Not Born

When lightbringer was crafted, it was first tempered in water, but broke, and then tempered through the heart of a captured lion, but broke, and finally successfully crafted out of the heart of his wife, Nissa Nissa. Her cry of anguish and ecstasy left a crack across the face of the moon.

So are you noticing some interesting parallels?

Jon is first tempered in water. Or rather, after his resurrection, he fights against the undead in the poorly considered wight hunt and fails. When he returns to the wall after being narrowly rescued an onboard Daenerys’s ship he bends the knee... something he did not look too happy about. All of his scenes with Daenerys are near the sea, by the way, and that position left him vulnerable. However, it was necessary in order to procure the power he needs to protect the North.

We know going into Season 8 that Jon will encounter more Lannisters. He has yet to see a captured Lion, but I am willing to bet that this next season will result in something of that sort. Either Tyrion, who appears to be growing more upset with Daenerys, Cersei, who will Cersei something, or even Jaime - perhaps repeating what Robb did by capturing him. Either way, I think what is really going to happen is that Jon is going to have to take a decisive action against the Lannisters even before the Dragonglass wall is forged.

However, the third time is the most interesting, because it will be in this moment that the metaphorical dragonglass wall is raised and Jon becomes the central hero of the story - and I think it requires betraying Daenerys.

Speaking of betraying Daenerys, isn’t she supposed to be betrayed three times? Once for blood, once for gold, and once for love?

What is those three betrayals line up with the decisions Jon makes in the war? Daenerys thinks Jon is falling in love with her, but really, he just needs her dragons. And perhaps Jon will act against the Lannisters in a way which will hurt her. After all, in the teaser, the lions on the board are not just on fire, but melting. And third... the third betrayal is for love. And not for her.

I think that in the penultimate moment of the series, Jon will betray Daenerys for a girl stranded south of the Trident. This will result in her death, but Jon’s rise to power since he will then control her dragons.

In season one, her handmaiden Doreah tells her that dragons came from two moons in the sky, but one wandered too close to the sun and cracked from the heat. From this, a “thousand thousand” dragons poured forth and drank the fire of the sun, allowing them to breathe flame.

If Jon is going to wield Lightbringer, he is going to be wielding a flaming sword, and if Doreah’s story is a metaphor about Daenerys getting too close to another Targaryen (Jon in this case) it will not end well for her. Jon will essentially be wielding her dragons... and her heritage.

And let us not forget - that is Aegon’s the Conqueror’s painted table. What is Jon’s real name? Aegon.

But how does this relate to the new teaser?

In the last season there was another teaser which was rather on the money in regards to its metaphors. Most of the teasers are ambiguous, but the Long Walk was anything but:

Jon had just been crowned King in the North, and in the teaser he was not happy with his rule, unlike Daenerys and Cersei. But like Daenerys and Cersei, he was functionally isolated because of his decisions, though for entirely different reasons.

Daenerys and Cersei isolated themselves out of pride, but Jon isolated himself out of need for the North. And if you listen to the lyrics of this song, Jon ends up having to ally himself with these very prideful rulers.

And this is exactly what happened.

Why?

If you take the singer as a metaphorical allusion to Jon’s thoughts, it is clear that he spends the entire season trying to convince Daenerys and Cersei to join him out of sympathy for others. We know from the lyrics that Daenerys eventually does agree with this after seeing how powerful the Night King was, but the Queen “touched by madness” (literally in the song) has a special scene at the end where she breathes cool air. And ice represents betrayal. And in that betrayal? The struggle begins.

This promo teaser is similar in that it brought in actors and had a teasing narrative almost identical to what happened in the actual season it teased.

So let’s get to the “Crypts of Winterfell Teaser.”

The Crypts of Winterfell and the Haunting of Past Regrets

The new teaser has three characters walking through the crypts of Winterfell and encountering winter - Jon, Sansa, and Arya. Interestingly, and this is not a coincidence, the first person we see is Jon holding a lighted torch. Sansa and Arya do not. Jon is literally the lightbringer.

Jon, alone, walks past Lyanna Stark’s statue as she holds the feather. We hear the actress of Lyanna telling Ned “You have to protect him.” Jon does not notice her, and the feather falls behind him as he passes. When it falls to the ground, he turns, as if he heard something... but you never hear a feather falling.

We know that Lyanna Stark died in childbirth, and that what she wanted most in the world was for Jon (whom she named Aegon) to be protected.

At this point she likely knew that Rhaegar was dead and Robert now commanded a lot of power. At best, Jon would be allowed to live as a bastard, but in all likelihood, she feared he might be hurt for his claim to the throne.

Interestingly, Lyanna and her feather have been seen multiple times.

The first time we see Lyanna’s statue and that feather is when Robert arrives at Winterfell. He leaves a feather at her statue, a call back in the books history of him giving her feathers of an exotic southern bird, and then bemoaning Ned’s decision to bury her in Winterfell instead of on a hill with the sun. He then says he dreams of killing Rhaegar every night.

So clearly Robert was not the kind of man who just let things go.

However, the next time we see Lyanna and her statue is in season five.

Sansa has just lit the statue of her father, likely doing it for many of the recently deceased Starks since the Boltons certainly will not, and comes upon Lyanna. She lights her statue, no doubt considering how similar their situations were. Sansa was under the house of an enemy, just as she believed Lyanna was.

But then she notices the feather that Robert’s left and picks it up. Its dusty, meaning it has been on the ground for a while.

Littlefinger then appears and tells her the story of Lyanna meeting Rhaegar at Harrenhal. Rhaegar ended up snubbing his wife, and this resulted in a war because Rhaegar fell in love with the wrong woman.

Interestingly, the feather that Robert gives Lyanna is not related to any of her own interests, nor is she symbolized by a bird, though it could be argued she was rather uncaged. However, “Little Bird” Sansa is symbolized by birds... and frequently. That she picks up the feather of Lyanna is as if she is picking up her own symbol and dusting it off is pretty important.

We never see Sansa putting it back, but she does continue using feathers as motifs in some of her costumes, and the end of this scene has Littlefinger telling her she is taking control of her own destiny now. Remember - Lyanna, in reality, was not an unwilling participant in her abduction, but a willing instigator.

I have seen some people suggest that the feather being knocked down on Lyanna’s statue represents the false romance between Robert and Lyanna being knocked down. I like that theory too, but it disregards Sansa’s clear connection to Lyanna.

When Arya returns, she does not go to Lyanna statue, but Ned’s.

However, we do see Lyanna’s statue again. When you watch the clip below, pay attention to Littlefinger’s entrance. He comes between Jon and Lyanna’s statue in the background, and then when they talk (essentially about Sansa via Catelyn) Lyanna’s statue is in the background, blurry but there... between them. Not an accident.

Near the end, when Littlefinger declares his love for Sansa, Jon attacks Littlefinger, Lyanna between them, and then behind Jon as he pushes Littlefinger further out of frame. We know that later Sansa ends up executing Littlefinger, but this is an interesting directing choice.

No matter what you have to say about Jonsa, Jon has very strong feelings for his sister. However, the point is that it may not be so platonic, given that the undercurrent of this entire situation is that Jon is not actually Ned’s son. He thinks he represents Ned, but he also represents his father, Rhaegar Targaryen, and his lower, Lyanna, is behind him.

Jon knows that Sansa was forced into an unwanted marriage by Littlefinger and that they owe Littlefinger a lot. If unchecked, this could have been another forced marriage... and unlike Ned, I do not think Jon would have left this kind of Robert-Baratheon inspired betrothal happen to his sister.

Sansa Walks into the Teaser

But speaking on Sansa being weirdly connected to Jon through Lyanna, the next person to appear in the teaser is Sansa, walking directly toward the camera in a straight shot (Jon is tilted upward, we see Arya first from the back in a more anonymous shot).

Sansa’s introduction in the teaser is sequentially after Lyanna saying that Jon needs to be protected and the feather falling. Sansa is essentially the answer to Lyanna’s wish, and the direction of the camera suggests this. We also see her braided hair. Though not identical to Lyanna, it is very similar.

I think Sansa’s scene is very clever. She walks past Catelyn who inadvertently fanned the flames of war, bringing horror upon her family. Sansa also did the same - alerting Sansa to the Stark flight from King’s Landing. It is possible Cersei may have still found out, but Sansa ensured it would happen, and I am certain it is something she rued.

However, what Catelyn says is this: “All this horror that has come to my family... is all because I couldn’t love... a motherless child.”

I put in those ellipses because Sansa’s scene is cut to Arya’s anonmyously walking down the hall on the second set of lines, “is all because I couldn’t love” and then us seeing her face “a motherless child.”

When editors cut a scene they try to cut it to represent the characters as best as it can. Clearly Catelyn loved Arya, but I think what that shot is meant to represent is Arya being “no one.” She never walks past a statue of a character who represents some part of her past. And she is a “motherless child.”

I think Sansa and Arya’s storyline will be intermingled here, but ultimately what Catelyn was saying needs to be answered by loving Jon. This can be platonic, no doubt, and shared by Sansa and Arya, but all things being equal... I think it ultimately leads back to Sansa because of all the other connections.

Sansa is represented by both Lyanna and Catelyn in the show. Lyanna by implication and Catelyn by direct reference.

Catelyn feels haunted by her mistreatment of Jon in Winterfell. She did not hurt him, but she did not love him like her own. Sansa (and Arya) will do that, but I think they will do that in different ways.

That mistreatment still haunts the crypts of Winterfell though, because Jon likely does not feel like a full Stark, as he talks about this a number of times in the show, even though Sansa reminds him that she is a Stark to her (fulfilling Catelyn’s desire, ironically).

Ned’s Statue

Like Sansa, Jon walks past another statue and actually looks at it. This time, it is Ned. Because of the short distance between the Ned and Lyanna statues, this meant he must have taken only a few more steps before turning to look to at it. But he does not glance, he stops.

We hear Ned saying, “You are a Stark. You may not have my name, but you have my blood.”

We know that Ned was haunted by his decisions about Jon. A lot of his feelings were ambiguous, but we know he regretted some of the ways he went about it - and it was something he thought about a lot before he died in the dungeons of the Red Keep.

But the way Jon reacts is as if he heard Ned’s (though he likely just remembered it). This is an important reaction, because the next shot is Arya and Sansa standing in front of each other and Jon walking up between them, Arya and Sansa looking at him.

He is bringing the light, by the way. I think here the teaser is implying that Jon may be the one to bring the news to Arya and Sansa, or at the very least, it will not be either of his sisters learning the truth before him, even though they feel he is a Stark anyway. They look at him in unison. The Starks are united.

By the way... where is Bran?

Something is in the Crypts

Arya turns to look at something, and then Sansa, with Jon appearing behind Sansa with the light. The camera switches to the three walking side by side, again, united, in this order: Arya, Sansa, and Jon.

Jon has the torch in his dominant hand, which he then switches to his non-dominant hand as the three look at states of themselves.

The crypts of Winterfell only ever put statues for their deceased members, so this would be unsettling.

Arya sees a statue of her holding Needle in front of her face, while Jon and Sansa are standing side by side without weapons held out. It makes sense why Sansa would not be wielding a weapon, but strange that Arya would and Jon would not.

Jon once joked that Arya would die with a needle clutched between her frozen fingers. So these creepy statues, which are already bad, are worse for Arya who no doubt remembers this.

However, that is not the only thing in the crypts. A wind blows, and the torch in Jon’s hand blows out as he is looking at his statue.

Metaphorically, the truth will not matter when winter descends on them. It is also possible that Daenerys’s fire may not be there when Winterfell is attacked.

The feather, lying on the ground further down the crypt, is then frozen. The truth, as it were, is literally frozen. And so too is Sansa threatened, as she is represented in that same feather.

Jon and Arya draw their swords, stepping forward and getting ready to fight. Everyone believes this will happen, but if you pay attention to this scene Jon actually steps in front of Sansa more than he needs to as he draws.

Some suggest Jon and Arya are protecting their queen. I like that idea, but they would do that even if she was just their sister. That said, it is interesting that Sansa is placed in the middle, and while this could be done because of her height, it is just as likely the director wants Sansa to in the center frame.

The three stand there, preparing to greet their enemy... and it is a wind of winter.

Which some of the Internet thinks is Bran, but I digress.

What Does This Teaser Mean?

This teaser is meant to be more literal than Dragonstone, but we can use Dragonstone to aid her comprehension.

First, this teaser is very much about the truth and what is haunting the Starks of Winterfell.

The truth is that Jon is Aegon Targaryen.

What is haunting the Starks is:

Lyanna wanted Jon to be protected from Robert’s wrath.

Catelyn regretted not treating Jon as a loved Stark.

Ned regretted the way he chose to carry out Lyanna’s wishes.

But this trailer is also about a lot of resolutions for the Starks too... specifically what is haunting the family.

The major resolution is that they stand united as Starks... despite the truth that Jon brings them, and in the end, Jon abandons that truth to stand with the Starks... not as a Targaryen.

Which is exactly what the Dragonstone teaser was saying. The story will not end with Jon as a Targaryen on a throne, but Jon as a Stark on the throne. And the only way he can become a Stark is through his sisters.

Or specifically, his cousin Sansa Stark. She has the name, whereas Arya is “no one.”

But it is not just past hauntings in the crypts... Jon, Sansa, and Arya have their own haunted nightmares.

Every Stark needs to play by different rules. They are now backed into a corner, and if they do not fight their way out, it will become their tombs.

Arya is haunted by her desire to be someone.

Sansa is haunted by her fear of being alone.

Jon is haunted by the fear of the unknown.

When they see themselves, they see their worst nightmares reflected back at them. Arya sees a fighter memorialized as a heroic statue. Sansa sees a dead woman, reminding us of Lyanna. Jon sees himself - and all the things his identity implies.

Going Forward

We will see a repeat of Robert’s Rebellion but with a different turn of events. The South is setting itself on fire with a mad Queen hell-bent on getting revenge on the Starks and distrusting a Targaryen from Dragonstone with a claim to the throne dallying with a Stark.

It is believed by some that Sansa will be kidnapped by Cersei, and I think that could incentivize Jon to act in ways that would result in betrayal against Daenerys. After all, Jon wanted to leave the North after he was resurrected. He only stayed for Sansa - who stubbornly refuses to leave Winterfell for any reason.

In the first Battle of the Trident, “Rhaegar fought valiantly, Rhaegar fought nobly, Rhaegar fought honorably. And Rhaegar died.”

Sansa tells Jon that they need to be smarter than Robb and their father to survive - they need to play the Game of Thrones. It is not enough to fight, they have to fight dirty. And that is what is going to happen on the road to the Trident because Jon has no other recourse.

And due to that, Rhaegar’s son will not die like his father did, allowing the Starks to survive the war and retain their independence... possibly even taking the Iron Throne and being reunited with the woman he loves - Sansa.

Because the battle does not end at the trident, and the Dragonstone teaser only teased the collision of two fronts, not the end of a war, but I think it suggests a bittersweet ending that favors the Starks and favors Jonsa.

Part 2 - 60s and 70s

Sir Home, now just Alec Douglas-Home after renouncing his peerage, returned to the commons with a new opposition leader, Harold Wilson, after Gaitskill suddenly passed away. Douglas-Home was only Prime Minister for about a year, and he wasn’t a bad PM, but he just led during a terrible time and he didn’t/couldn’t do much about that.

Alec Douglas-Home - C

So Harold Wilson took the majority in 1964, Wilson was also young, in fact the youngest in 70 years. Conservatives went tit-for-tat, and put in a young leader of their own, Edward Heath. And these two will be the leaders for this decade. Wilson is probably most known for his social policies, typical of most late ‘60s leaders, your typical stuff, race relations, less punishment for homosexuality and abortion, abolition of capital punishiment, divorce laws… while mostly continuing the policies of economic planning and welfare set by Attlee.

Wilson took a gamble in an early election in 1966, and got himself a landslide victory. But after bolstering the administrative state for 4 years, poor turn in economics and some say a poor showing in the World Cup, led Heath to enter in 1970. His four years were all about tampering with Wilson’s success. Thatcher was the educational minister, for instance, while she took away milk provisions, she stopped short of taking away Open University.

There was decimalisation of the coinage, the previous system was quite the works… but Heath’s main policy was entering the European Union, well the European Economic Community at the time. That actually led to him moving away from America. And there was also The Troubles, which was handled about as well as Heath could.

Edward Heath - B-

Election in 1974 was inconclusive, so there was another one, and Wilson was able to eke out a small majority. Heath left, Thatcher, becoming more bolden and more orthodox, rushed in to become the new Opposition Leader, which Heath was not too happy about.

But it was Wilson’s government, who had to suffer through the Oil Crisis and resulting stagflation, but managed to come out all right, balancing the cut in demand with a negotiated voluntary income policy, and rise in supplies like implementing price controls. One of its other hallmarks was the National Enterprise Board, a kind of a proto-social wealth fund.

He had plans to turn Northern Ireland into a dominion, but basically felt the resulting entity would be made into ruins. Besides, he was tired of all this mess, and he should be. He managed to weave his way through the tumults of the late 60’s and early 70’s relatively intact.

Harold Wilson - B+

James Callaghan took over from Wilson, he was one of the most experienced, he held the top three jobs - Chancellor, Home, Foreign - before becoming PM, but he had a minority government. He had to hold a referendum on devolution, which quite didn’t work out (that would be changed later), and much like Carter in the US, started policies that would be turbo-changed by Thatcher. He could have called an election, would have given him 4 years… but not much else than that, I mean the following would definitely still have happened.

Winter of Discontent was the culmination of Callaghan’s bizarre hubris. He thought he could squeeze another year, but turns out he couldn’t. But as I said, he probably would still have squeezed pay rises in the winter of ‘79, and Thatcher would have wailed on Callagher until she would win what she would have won in ‘83 anyway. 

James Callaghan - C-

Alabama, 1833, section 33 – "Any slave who shall write for any other slave, any pass or free-paper, upon conviction, shall receive, on his or her back, fifty lashes for the first offence, and one hundred lashes for every offence thereafter..." Example slave codes[edit] Deep South[edit] South Carolina established its slave code in 1712, based on the 1688 English slave code employed in Barbados. The South Carolina slave code served as the model for other colonies in North America. In 1770, Georgia adopted the South Carolina slave code, and then Florida adopted the Georgia code.[4] The 1712 South Carolina slave code included provisions such as:[4] Slaves were forbidden to leave the owner's property, unless accompanied by a white person, or obtaining permission. If a slave leaves the owner's property without permission, "every white person" is required to chastise such slaves Any slave attempting to run away and leave the colony (later, state) receives the death penalty Any slave who evades capture for 20 days or more is to be publicly whipped for the first offense; branded with the letter R on the right cheek for the second offense; and lose one ear if absent for thirty days for the third offense; and castrated for the fourth offense. Owners refusing to abide by the slave code are fined and forfeit ownership of their slaves Slave homes are to be searched every two weeks for weapons or stolen goods. Punishment for violations escalate to include loss of ear, branding, and nose-slitting, and for the fourth offense, death. No slave shall be allowed to work for pay, or to plant corn, peas or rice; or to keep hogs, cattle, or horses; or to own or operate a boat; to buy or sell; or to wear clothes finer than 'Negro cloth' The South Carolina slave code was revised in 1739 with the following amendments:[4] No slave shall be taught to write, work on Sunday, or work more than 15 hours per day in Summer, and 14 hours in Winter. Willful killing of a slave exacts a fine of 700 pounds, and "passion" killing 350 pounds The fine for concealing runaway slaves is $1,000 and a prison sentence of up to one year A fine of $100 and six months in prison are imposed for employing any Black or slave as a clerk A fine of $100 and six months in prison are imposed on anyone selling or giving alcoholic beverages to slaves A fine of $100 and six months in prison are imposed for teaching a slave to read and write, and death is the penalty for circulating incendiary literature Freeing a slave is forbidden, except by deed, and after 1820, only by permission of the legislature [Georgia required legislative approval after 1801] Some elements of these codes were rarely or laxly enforced as they imposed costs or limitations upon (politically powerful) slaveowners. For instance, well after 1712, slaves commonly worked for hire in Charleston.[5] Tobacco states[edit] The slave codes of the tobacco colonies (Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina, and Virginia) were modeled on the Virginia code, which was initially established in 1667.[4] The 1682 Virginia code included the following provisions:[6] Slaves were prohibited from possessing weapons Slaves were prohibited from leaving their owner's plantations without permission Slaves were prohibited from lifting a hand against a white person, even in self-defense A runaway slave refusing to surrender could be killed without penalty District of Columbia slave codes[edit] Slaves were a common sight in the nation's capital. Harsh regulation of these urban slaves, most of whom were servants for the government elite, was in effect until the 1850s. Compared to some southern codes, the District of Columbia was relatively moderate. Slaves were allowed to hire their services, live apart from their masters, and free blacks were even allowed to live in the city and operate schools. The code could be used by attorneys and clerks who referred to it when drafting contracts or briefs. By 1860, there were over 11,000 free blacks and over 3,000 slaves in the District of Columbia. Following the Compromise of 1850, the sale of slaves was outlawed within Washington D.C. Slavery in the District of Columbia ended in 1862 and nearly 3,000 slaves were offered a compensation. The official printed slave code was issued only a month before slavery ended there. Northern colonies[edit] Slave codes in the Northern colonies, before slavery was abolished, were less harsh than slave codes in the Southern colonies, but contained many similar provisions, such as forbidding slaves from leaving the owner's land, forbidding whites from selling alcohol to slaves, and specifying punishment for attempting to escape.[7] Proper treatment of slaves[edit] [icon] This section requires expansion. (August 2013) Southern slave codes did make willful killing of a slave illegal in most cases.[8] For example, in 1791 the North Carolina legislature made the willful killing of a slave murder, unless done in resisting or under moderate correction.[8] Historian Lawrence M. Friedman wrote: "Ten Southern codes made it a crime to mistreat a slave. ... Under the Louisiana Civil Code of 1825 (art. 192), if a master was “convicted of cruel treatment,” the judge could order the sale of the mistreated slave, presumably to a better master."[9] Due Process Rights for Slaves[edit] In Florida, a slave charged with a capital offense was entitled to legal counsel to represent him, on the theory that the master should not be deprived of his property (through hanging) unless the slave got a fair trial. In at least one case, a slave charged with raping a white woman was acquitted.[10] Contents [hide] 1 Provisions 1.1 Definition of "slaves" 2 Violence and other injustices against slaves 2.1 Reading by slaves illegal 3 Example slave codes 3.1 Deep South 3.2 Tobacco states 3.3 District of Columbia slave codes 3.4 Northern colonies 3.5 Proper treatment of slaves 3.6 Due Process Rights for Slaves 4 See also 5 Notes 6 References 7 Further reading 8 External links Provisions[edit]
