Gemma Chan would be the perfect Jane in p&p. She's so ethereally beautiful - she fits Austen's description perfectly.

Oh my gosh she would be PERFECT as Jane!  Maybe with Constance Wu as Elizabeth?

I've always been lowkey annoyed when people draw/gif the Daynes as light skinned/white. Imo, noone in Dorne has light skin (light eyes/hair yes maybe, but not light skin), in 1000 yrs Rhoynar blood will have dispersed evenly among the population so the whole stony/salty thing is weird. Also Nymeria had a son with a Dayne - therefore the Daynes are not white. Its just a pet peeve of mine. And you know its because of the whole purple eyes thing. I wish there was more darker!Dayne art/edits. 😭

Yep, there’s nothing said about the Daynes’ skin color in the books, so really anything goes. I personally headcanon their mom to be an Allyrion (pretty much entirely based on the fact that the youngest is named Allyria and that they all have A names lmao) so that would also go towards them having darker skin. I admit that my chosen fancasts for the elder three are a bit lighter than I envision the actual characters to be, but I have yet to find a perfect fancast for basically any character, Dornish or otherwise. Though I’m always open to suggestions!

But yeah, while there would likely be some variation in skin color because of the differing climates, all Dornishmen would almost certainly be darker than anyone outside of Dorne because of the Rhoynish blood that is virtually nonexistent elsewhere, plus the lack of non-Dornish people marrying into Dorne.

And the pervasive view that Dornish characters fit into one of three categories is stupid. What about, say, the Sand Snakes? Their father is “salty” Dornish but their mothers are not (in fact, Nym and Sarella’s moms aren’t even from the same continent!), and Tyene and Sarella couldn’t look more different in appearance — so where do they go? Ryon Allyrion, a “sandy” Dornishman, is married to Ynys Yronwood, a “stony” Dornishwoman, so where do their kids go? It’s a holdover from Daeron I trying to classify them as though they’re separate species or something.

The fact that it’s 2020 and people are STILL using Katie McGrath as an Ashara fancast says all there is to say, really. The Daynes are more likely to be white passing and so people take that as carte blanche to make them straight up white. Because obviously the most beautiful woman and the best swordsman in Westeros couldn’t possibly be people of color...

(On the Nymeria thing, while I like to think Nymeria’s son married back into the Dayne line so they can be directly descended from her, we don’t know that. Davos Dayne was Nymeria’s consort, not the Lord of Starfall, so unless their son married back in, the Daynes would not be descended from her so directly. But even if they weren’t, they were still descended from a Rhoynish person and intermarried in the 700 years since, so it’s more or less a moot point.)

To give a shoutout to fanartists, @gaystannis draws the Daynes as dark-skinned, and so does @naomimakesart (for instance, in this portrait of Maekar — who fandom also likes to pretend was not a person of color — and Dyanna that I commissioned), so I’d recommend checking them out if you haven’t already!

Hi! I was wondering about the tags you track. Is it okay to use #martelledit for stuff that's not about the martells but another house in dorne? like can I use the tag for a drawing of ashara dayne? thanks!

Hi!

The #martelledit tag is meant for House Martell related content but we also track #asoiafedit and #valyrianscrolls :)

Any content about Dorne or Dornish characters in these three tags will be added to the queue (≈ 1 week). We also check individual character tags from time to time (including Ashara). So, for a drawing of Ashara Dayne you can simply use #asoiafedit and #valyrianscrolls and it will be reblogged here (the latter is quite popular for fanart too)

Our submission page is also open, helpful if we miss anything!

I hope this helps :)

Edit: This is a fancast NOT an edit!

These are NOT my gifs! They belong to people with talent and a better understanding of graphics. I have a huge folder of gifs (No, seriously, I have something around 1 tb of totally amazing unlabeled gifs) that I thought were cool and I have no idea where they are originally from. If they are yours and you let me know, I will either credit you or (if you prefer) delete the image.

Hi 😊 just wanted to say that you're one of my favorite blogs and your edits are so wonderful and inspiring 🤗

This is so sweet, thank you!  I’m touched you like my edits :)  I also love the preasoiaf edits you’ve done!

[korra-of-the-watertribe]

full-on agree with @stoneteapot. the Lizzie Bennet Diaries actually features Asian Bingleys (Charles is actually named Bing Lee in it) and it worked SO well. also, CAN I MENTION HOW SANTIAGO'S LOCKS WOULD BE PERFECT FOR DARCY

@stoneteapot & @ivashkovadrian I love Asian bingleys!!!
