This is very interesting! I like your take on it. However it also made me think of how much more satisfying it would be for Rhaena to claim Cannibal for symbolic reasons. (Like, if they HAVE to have Rhaena actually claim a dragon.) At first I thought The Grey Ghost would be a cool alternative to Sheepstealer for Rhaena because of his shyness. And I thought his tendency to hide could symbolize Rhaena's hidden strength and power. Also his coloring of "morning mist" could connect to Rhaena's book dragon, Morning. And since Grey Ghost dies in the conflict, she could still hatch Morning later. Also the fact that he has a preference for fish and the sea could symbolize Rhaena's Velaryon side as well. But! The idea of Rhaena claiming Cannibal is actually more intriguing and symbolically satisfying. Because I could see Nettles stealing dragon eggs to feed to Cannibal definitely. But it would be much more difficult for her to have access to them. But who has ready access to dragon eggs- Rhaena. And who has an egg she has been holding onto since birth, praying it would hatch- Rhaena. How devastating it would be for her to sacrifice her own dragon egg to Cannibal in order to claim him. It would be so symbolic of all the children in the asoiaf series who willingly sacrifice or are forced to sacrifice their own dreams and lives for their parent's wars and for their parent's approval. It is such an ongoing theme of the series. It would suit the show version of what they have built up for Rhaena, while highlighting a major theme of the story- AND it also leaves Nettles story with Sheepstealer and symbolism in tact.

Nettles as the Cannibal's rider.

This is a sentiment I keep seeing a lot, and while I won't speak on the leaks more than I have, this idea is a bit interesting to me..

The Cannibal as a dragon is a wild dragon, meaning it has little hunan interaction and loves on its own. Its diet is both people and dragon eggs/hatchlings. It's meant to be a direct symbol of the carnivorous act of war among the Targaryens. It's one of the oldest draogns alive, one of the biggest as well. It marks the internal conflict of house Targaryens, nothing but a dragon can end itself so well. Its cave is littered with the bones of humans and hatchlings alike.

I'm a firm believer in dragons reflecting their riders. Nettles is one of the most obvious cases. She's a sheep stealing brown skinny girl on her sheepstealing brown skinny dragon. They're bond is also unique among any other riders we know.

It's more akin to the power and status a girl would gain from a marriage to a Targaryen. Power, protection, wealth, and honour. It's a blood sealed relationship similar to marriages in Westeros with the maidenhead idea as well as the blood drawn in Valyrian ceremonies.

So to change her narrative and giving her the Cannibal as her dragon does change the narrative of her character quite a bit.

If her dragon is the idea of Targaryen in fighting, she becomes the symbol of the war. A personification of the conflict. On one hand, because the Cannibal has his own plot with Sunfyre (rip my beloved grey ghost) and a symbolic departure after Corlys passes, Nettles can be kept in the narrative longer but she can also cause way more conflict. Like have her not being a dragonseed be an actual dividing line between people, have her be a conflict between Jace and Rhaenyra, Baela and Jace, Daemon and Rhaenyra and so on.

That dragon is chaos, let's see her devour the house from within.

Also, this adds to another point of how Nettles claims this dragon: Is she feeding kids or stealing eggs? Or is she waiting until after it eats other dragonseeds to get closer?

While I don't think it will happen, I do plan on watching the show before making any theories or coming to any conclusions on arcs for my favourite characters, it's an interesting idea.

Rhaena on Sheepstealer likewise causes a similar issue, but I'll wait for the show (maybe) to voice that thought.

One thing I genuinely think the fandom forgets or underestimates is just how weird Neil is. Like we paint him to be this carismatic, flashy, cocky bad boy, but in reality he's stingy, skittish, balks at anything more personal then his thoughts on Exy and Cannot for the life of him socialize. Like in the Raven King, right after Seth dies, he straight up goes:

"Neil had to patch things up with [Allison] somehow, but he didn't know where to start. He'd never been good at winning people over. Someone like Allison wasn't likely to be his first success. "

Neil's spent his life living on the outskirts of "average" life. Ergo, he's cagey and flighty and so far removed from normal that even among the Foxes he'll always be a little unpredictable and odd. And you know what, good for him; we all deserve an antisocial introverted asshole to raly behind.

But I have promises to keep—and miles to go before I sleep.

I couldn't stop thinking about VAL listening to Shrue's radio speech when she confronts Carson, and wondering just how many times she listened back to that recording while waiting for him. Did it bring her some comfort, to listen to someone else's last words as she waited to speak her own? Did she feel a little less alone, keeping company with another ghost that hasn't realised it's already dead?

On average, what is the total MONTHLY amount that you spend on dining out*?

*(This doesn't only count going out to restaurants, but also stuff like picking up fast food to bring home, getting a coffee on the way to work, getting a premade sandwich from a grocery store deli during lunch, buying a quick snack from a convenience store or food cart whilst walking somewhere, ordering a pizza or any other food to be delivered to your home, etc.)

*(If you often dine out in groups/as a household: calculate and divide the costs so that you get a Per Person average. This is for YOU individually, NOT the total household/group costs)

(I'm sure polls similar to this have been made before (very common topic), I just haven't personally seen one that I can remember, so, I was curious to do my own! I was discussing this with a group of people today and it was very interesting to see how widely the number varied between individuals. :0c )

(Reblog for bigger sample size if you can, and feel free to explain your answer in tags if there's anything extra to add!)
