Ye Olde Magick AU Part II: More Houses
As always: thank @books-n-guns for the existence of this AU :D Basic lore (and the first bunch of houses): X Without further ado, have some more houses~!
The Arryns: Wings, wings, wings. They have the most beautiful feathered wings you'll ever lay eyes on and back muscles because damn their wings are heavy. They need special oils and soaps, and are almost constantly grooming. And they have echo voices (X). If the song Hallelujah existed in ASOIAF they would own it. The skies of the Vale always has at least one Arryn or one of it's cadet houses The Boltons: Like books-n-guns says, they're vampires with an interest in blood magic. Legend says the Boltons actually used to be able to shed their whole skin—and I mean their whole skin—until one Bolton got into blood magic and suddenly vampires. The northern weather is perfect for them. The Mormonts: Werebears! Werebears! Werebears! You think Bear Island was named after the bears that inhabit it? No. It's the werebears of House Mormont. Were as wild looking as the Starks of old just bear themed; claws and teeth and fangs and thicker hair, and were generally bigger and stronger. Now they're just strong. Lady Maege Mormont can still crush a man's head between her hands.
The Tarths: Giants. For some reason the magic has been absent from their bloodline for a few years until Brienne was born. While not as big as her ancestors, Brienne is still big and has great strength. She didn't defeat those who had a bet on her maidenhead so much as she sent them flying. People held score cards. Loras was sweating in his armour and allowed Brienne to grapple him instead shut up you drunken archer of my family I allowed it because I didn't want to fucking die. The Hightowers: Flame hair. Think Hades from Hercules. It's safe to the touch and doesn't set anything on fire...unless the Hightower it's attached to wants it. Just like when they turn the beacon's fire green to call their bannerman, a Hightower's hair can turn green at will. Please imagine Alicent entering the room not only in her green dress, but with flickering green flame hair. The Baelishs: Fiery eyes. Look up Lucifer Morningstar red eyes and you get what I'm imagining, though the pupils are a glowing flame coloured. It's hard to look like a friendly and powerless man to be underestimated by all the high lords with these eyes, but Littlefinger manages it. The Greyjoys: Krackens. Honestly I'm just imagining a kracken version of Davey Jones from Pirates of the Caribbean. But they can only get that form when wet with seawater. Can remain in that form so long as a part of their body is still in seawater. Rare times does it skip a member of the family, so sorry Aeron. The Karstarks: Since they are a cadet branch of the Starks they also benefitted from the same wolf magic—however instead of fangs they've got the claws. Sharp and deadly, the Karstarks are best at being frontline fighters where even if they lose their swords they can still maul a bitch. No, seriously, they will maul someone with their claws. They have mauled people with their claws. Rumors say they use grindstones to keep their claws nice and sharp. The Freys: Trolls, specifically bridge trolls. And not the dependable kind that they used to be back in the day. Still having that weasel look to them, they have granite skin that makes normal swords break against them and above-human strength, thus still making them the most powerful bannermen of House Tully. The Reeds: Lizard-lions or frogs. Actually, nobody really knows what the Reeds are—not now or back in the past. Not even Ned knows what Howland Reed looked like because he kept his entire person covered from the top of his head to his hands to his feet. The only thing he saw was a super long tongue jab hard at Arthur's neck that killed the knight and save him. And that's what I've got for now. Again ideas of other houses are welcome!

You gotta have mad respect for Wex. The kid survives a massacre and then risks his neck to gather intel on Rickon's whereabouts (all the while avoiding Osha and Shaggydog's notice) and then using his knowledge to manipulate two major Lords in the North? The kid could have walked into the nearest village and started a new life, there's no way to tell he's Ironborn, he has no distinguishing features nor able to be betrayed by an accent. But no, this little kid says no, fuck it, "I'm staying right here and creating chaos on purpose". He learned from Theon but does it ✨successfully✨
#Wex Pyke is underrated#The kid has all the power in the Northern Conspiracy nevermind Manderly and Stannis#Wex pyke#Ironborn#The greyjoys#the iron islands#House botley#Theon Greyjoy#White Harbour#Winterfell#a song of ice and fire#asoiaf meta#valyrianscrolls

Catelyn heard someone snigger behind her. She loves him, poor thing, she thought sadly. She'd play his squire just to touch him, and never care how great a fool they think her... (and some other things)

grrm has a real knack for writing men who cower in the corner due to the overwhelming shame of their mere existence while simultaneously saying to themselves “i am the hottest girl in this grocery store” twice per page. jaime, theon, jon etc etc

justice for all the women of westeros but especially ASHA GREYJOY who ran for president on a platform of “I’ll finally end the forever wars that have brought us literally no gain whatsoever” and still somehow lost to an evil wizard who did the fantasy equivalent of bringing back plutonium rods from Chernobyl

i got reminded how funny the greyjoys are again its so awesome how throughout acok youre like god theon you are insane and a weirdo and like sure asha is there and also insane and weird but she's kind of serving with it and yeah aeron is there for two minutes but he seems like he's been through it so its ok he's kinda odd. so you let it pass and then you hit affc and you finally get more greyjoy povs and you realize Oh. They're all like batshit insane. Theon is on the normal side here. Conceptually Imagine being jon and haaating theon growing up because you think he's an asshole and he is yeah and then you meet literally anyone else in his family and theyre like that but worse and also command ships of hundreds of men. SUCH a tragedy we never got any of the starks to meet literally any other greyjoy to have a point of comparison here on what theon couldve been like

Went on a proper reread of ASOIAF in english recently and I don't know what happened.
Never really cared for Theon, never understood the obsession some had with him, and when reading his chapters in ACOK he was even worse than I remembered.
Then I got to ADWD again, and now I understand....

Game of Thrones 3D keychain designs 💅
In case you're not familiar with what I do, I'm also a merchmaker and used to make various merch of stuff I like :D I've been wanted to do GoT merch for years but was too afraid before because I didn't have the skills etc...
But not anymore!! 😼 So here's the designs I've been working on for a while. It was quite a challenge but I'm happy with the result, the backgrounds were the most challenging part lmao!!
I'll post pics of them when I'll have them and ready to be purchased on my shop! 🤸♀️ For now, hope you'll like the designs! (I also have some HotD charms that I'll post later, but did months before so I'm less happy with how they look lmao)
