"The realm will suffer if Aemond One-Eye rules. You should pray you never meet him. He will cut you down soon as wish you good-day."

“She sees much and more, my Alys.”

(I am so excited to see Gayle’s work within this role.)

Was she in truth a witch who lay with demons, bringing forth dead children as payment for the knowledge they gave her? Was she a simpleminded slattern, as Eustace believes? A wanton who used her poisons and potions to bind men to her, body & soul? - writings of Gyldayn

Due to personal reasons I’ll be ignoring hotd canon and pretending it’s a lighthearted family sitcom

Daemon: Bazinga! *laugh track*

[cinematic-phosphenes]

I want Alys to arrive at Harrenhal in Episode 7 and then Simon Strong formally introduces her to Daemon for the first time. "This is our medicine woman, just arrived back from Riverrun where she's been tending to Lord Tully these past six months."

And then Daemon starts crying again.

It’s been Alys all along ✨

a little crossover, Daemon is in for a rude awakening

“I’m not a woman at all. I’m a barn owl, cursed to live in human form.”

I love that Alys River's whole introductory vibe is very 'a cat can look at a king'.

Alys Rivers of Harrenhal

[mejcinta]

“[Alys Rivers brings] “a whole different aspect to the show, a really new element. She has a lot of power and a lot of mystery and is very cool.”

Rankin says she fell in love with the show and is thrilled to be part of it [...] She is most comfortable protecting and defending the characters she brings to life. [...] She is staunch in her protectiveness over the characters themselves—determined that they are understood, that they are heard with compassion and empathy."

-Gayle Rankin on Alys Rivers via Cero Magazine.

daemon: i hope you never meet aemond one-eye. he'll cut you in half as quick as he can say good day.

i don't know, aemond can always make alys's legs stop working with his one-eye 👀
