is it wrong that i live for genetic based magic
maybe???? but i can’t care 🙅‍♀️🙅‍♀️🙅‍♀️
i can’tttttt care cause it’s so devious
like… what does it mean for our magical POV characters who are so new to this shit? what does it mean for future societal development? and what did it mean for past societal development?
#i love it because these people have a predisposition for magic but they’re still human but are they?#are they more than human in a bad or good way? or are they simply humans with great powers sometimes trying to be responsible with them#sometimes running from it sometimes cursed by it sometimes enraptured by it#like that is sooooo intresting but a lot of people don’t like it. i know why people don’t like it but stillllll#btw it’s not like only royalty or high lords or wealthy politicians are the only ones with this magical gene#many people in asoiaf have it. wasn’t it 1 in 1000 are a skinchanger? there are certainly many people with dragon blood in them#which gives them the ability to ride dragons#but with magic being genetic you also gota think about these wealthy and powerful people’s resources and the head start they have#so it becomes a sort of class division type of thing which is something we see with the dragonseeds in the dance#they would never have had the opportunity to claim a dragon if not for the dance but they always had that gene that made it possible#but for other magic like skinchanging and that type of thing it seems like environment and potential animal bonds matter a lot#like a direwolf is wayyyy better than a common wolf but not everyone has access to direwolves#you get my drift????#asoiaf#a song of ice and fire#also magic gives nobodies the potential to become somebody#maybe that’s why maesters hate magic cause it can totally disrupt the ever teetering balance of feudalism#like mel was a slave and now a red priestess and she’s able to convince a king to burn his gods bc magic is real !!!#that’s so crazy to me. but it doesn’t change the fact that mel def has that magic gene :))#blood makes you a [blank] my bestie brynden told me
