Randomly thinking about grrm’s deconstruction of knighthood in asoiaf and how ironic it is that the Night’s Watch - an organization known to be half full of murderers, rapists, thieves, and all sorts of criminals - is essentially in charge of defending all of humanity when shit hits the fan. Like westeros just scrambled ‘the lowest of the low’ together into a penal colony in the far north and is totally fine depending on them for their survival; though tbf, i guess part of it has to do with expecting these societal ‘others’ to give their not so valuable lives for the good of the realm, who really cares if they live or die because they’re out of sight and out of mind. And it’s kinda funny too when we factor in the kingsguard because it’s a far more respected institution than the NW presently, but it too has its fair share of monsters. Quite a few men of the kingsguard have been morally bankrupt individuals, and we even see how the men of the KG sometimes forget other people they should be responsible for because their one priority is the king (we see what happens when you put the people of the realm first and then are ostracized by it a la Jaime tho there’s more to it). Missing the forest for the tree is something both institutions share, making them quite similar. So it’s interesting how grrm flips the fantasy classic of the black knight vs the white knight. The black knight is often anti-heroic, if not straight up villainous, and is often made to be diametrically opposed to the valiant and ever good white knight. But asoiaf has white and black knights both be shown of great virtue and great vice. The white knights in this story really are no better than the black knights. I’d love to see how these two entities could intersect, i.e., what happens when a white knight eventually changes his cloak for a black one (*cough* Jaime *cough*) and how that falls into grrm’s deconstruction of the romance of chivalry, the extent of personal heroism, and perceived knightly virtue. Welp I don’t even know what point I’m trying to make anymore, I just wanted to talk about the KG and the NW because they’re really cool.
#asoiaf really really is for the arthuriana girlies I tell you what#like the entire concept of knighthood in asoiaf being steeped in deconstructions of arthurian legend#we got galahad and lancelot and everything else#galahad is an example of a traditional white knight but his asoiaf parallels are the black knight jon snow and the not even a knight brienn#it’s really cool#and it’s also cool how black knights and white knights both can be admired but there are darker elements in both#as jon and bran eventually find out#asoiaf#valyrianscrolls#the night's watch#the kingsguard

these days i just want to lay down and rot into the earth and become a pretty flower
#this isn’t a cry for help i think. my brain is always morbid like this#if i got to choose i’d become a wax plant. i’ve been fascinated by them since like age 6#they had them running up the walls of my kindergarten. i think that started my hyperfixation for plants and flowers#did you know wax plants only have flowers after they get to age 7?#it’s really cool#that means i was able to keep my wax plant alive for more than 7 years#the small joys in life#magpie talks will they shut up?#personal#late night depressive thoughts#ask to tag

Sensible me: I should learn to use the zorn palette. It’s a good challenge on color limitation, creation, and theory. It’s cheap and you own all the colors.
Evil me: buy all the colors used in the Peter rabbit illustrations. You own none of them and they’re all expensive and also you’ve never figured out how to use watercolor in a finished piece. Having money and sense of realistic goals is for chumps.
#ghost posts#I’m not buying the colors for the palette#but if I actually work on my art professionally I might#it’s really cool#i have my little art journal where I write down all the colors/palettes I want to try#yellow ochre is bae#which I own as yellow oxide#she’s beautiful#i will learn to use black in my art this is a promise and a threat

Finally finished the custom OC garage kit my friend and I collaborated on! The paintwork COULD have been a bit cleaner but given I didn't have an airbrush I think it turned out pretty good! This is the 2nd fully custom OC figure I've made which you can see behind Xiias here! (I've done more customised existing figures which you can also see) and I'd love to make more in the future!
#you don't notice the paint imperfections or specks of dust from a distance so overall I am so proud and happy with how it turned out!#my art#ocs#xiias#garage kit#custom garage kit#sculpting#anime figure#I did the first one back in 2021 when I had no idea how to do any of this stuff so the improvement in my painting skill is so obvious..#it’s really cool
