“in the book this” “in the book that” shut the fuck up it’s a different medium and a different story what’s not clicking

Feeling sentimental about Seteth the doting (grand)father!

I should write more of them.

Me anxiously waiting for HOTD Season Two knowing that it’s going to diverge from the book and is basically Fire and Blood fanfiction but not caring because of if I wanted to be a book purist, I would have just stuck with the books.

should i read the asoiaf series one day or will i become disappointed in the show adaptation (as I’ve seen many book readers be so) because of how it strays from canon events in the books

"A wolf with a fish in its mouth?" It made her laugh. "That would look silly. Besides, if a girl can't fight, why should she have a coat of arms?" Jon shrugged. "Girls get the arms but not the swords. Bastards get the swords but not the arms. I did not make the rules, little sister." (Arya I, AGOT)

--

The girl smiled in a way that reminded Jon so much of his little sister that it almost broke his heart. "Let him be scared of me." The snowflakes were melting on her cheeks, but her hair was wrapped in a swirl of lace that Satin had found somewhere, and the snow had begun to collect there, giving her a frosty crown. Her cheeks were flushed and red, and her eyes sparkled. "Winter's lady." Jon squeezed her hand. (Jon X, ADWD)

When Arya supports KITN!Jon + passes Robb's crown onto him and Jon supports Arya as the Lady of Winterfell >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

i wish we got the Three Houses that was actually its original plan, a route for Rhea and a secret route for Edelgard.

the game was centered and focused on these two women, they were the only main character and still are because every other route for those twinks are useless and contribute to nothing for the story but somehow Koei Tecmo added 2 shitty extra routes to an already horribly rushed game instead of improving what was originally asked of them and now the whole original point of it is dead.

Somedays all you can do is watch it all burn down

[whitegownsandflowercrowns]

At this rate I’m going to become a full Fire & Blood anti.

[catofoldstones]

My point is that the ice and fire in a song of ice and fire are literally the ice and fire powerhouses re the white walkers and the Targaryens (and stannis & the fire lord etc), and they’re both the villains. Goodbye.

There’s something so…gorgeous about how the story of Vermax laying dragon eggs in the crypts of Winterfell works as piece of symbolism. It doesn’t really matter if physical dragon eggs exist down there imo because this story adds so much meaning to Jon’s status as a hidden dragon and also his status as one of the last remaining scions of House Targaryen. Plus it does a lot to contextualize how Ned’s action of saving his nephew’s life is in line with centuries old magic, even though he never intended it to be such.

Because Jace and Cregan quite famously made a pact which was called the “Pact of Ice and Fire”, in which they promised to join their houses through the union of marriage. We also have the canonical representation of Starks as 🧊 and Targaryens as 🔥. Two opposing sides that could do harm to each other have decided to come together through marriage and procreation. Through this pact comes a new life that will be a balanced union of ice and fire.

Then we get the story of Vermax laying eggs in the Winterfell crypts. An act that symbolizes the continuation of life. It’s so interesting because we know how this story ends. We know that after this, the dragons will die and will be no more in Westeros….BUT there’s the exception of the eggs in Winterfell. They may be unhatched but they are like a promise of life. And it’s Winterfell’s crypts that keep them hidden from danger and Winterfell’s heated walls that cover them.

What’s even more gorgeous is that this pact is made in a period of civil war that threatened the survival of the Targaryen dynasty. And like… isn’t that Jon Snow’s life story?! He was born at the tail of of Robert’s rebellion which saw the death of the Targaryens. Aerys and Rhaegar (and Rhaegar’s children were dead). A child Viserys, Rhaella, and an unborn Dany were all that was left of the Targaryen legacy.

And then comes the unexpected Jon Snow. Born of the union of Stark and Targaryen, ice and fire. Ice and fire were on opposing sides in the war and killed each other. But then comes Jon Snow to mend that rift and heal that divide. He is born after a period of death to represent new life and new beginnings. He’s just a little baby but he symbolizes so much!

It’s why I think Jon serves better as a symbol of spring and not winter. Because everything about him represents the promise of life after death: born at the end of a civil war, him being represented by a winter rose, him being symbolized as the corn king (a mythical figure who represented the cycle of life and death), his presumed death at the end of ADWD but the promise that he will be resurrected, etc.

And then we have Ned Stark being the unwitting proxy to his ancestor Cregan. Ned took this dragon egg and hid him away within Winterfell’s walls. Then he took Jon’s mother and also placed her in the crypts. It’s no wonder that Jon has so many strange dreams regarding the crypts. Symbolically, the secret of his birth being hidden away in the crypts ties in quite nicely with Vermax’s hidden dragon eggs. In both cases, a symbol of Targaryen life is hidden within the walls of the Winterfell crypts. Then there’s Summer’s strange vision of a winged serpent as Winterfell burned. Many fans has often wondered what this vision meant. I’m not sure either, but it would be a nice touch if this is a symbolic representation of Jon Snow. As it was with Summer’s vision, Jon is the dragon that has hatched and left the confines of Winterfell’s walls, and he is ready to do some damage.

Being an actual, genuine fan of engage is so funny, because whenever I see complaints about it I get to ask myself "three houses fan who's mad engage wasn't three houses two electric boogaloo, genuine, good criticisms, or just wants something to complain about?" And that's just fun.

Work in progress Wednesday, why not? A snippet of June under.

He couldn’t stop the sob that wracked his chest. He tried to pull away, hide the shame he felt from his misery and the pain from his body’s ever changing reaction to his losses, but his daughter would not allow it. She held onto him, hand aglow, looking right into his eyes.

And though it was the very last thing he wanted to do, he accepted her solace and support. He no longer tried to get away. Instead, Seteth quietly gasped and wiped away his tears the best he could.

There's a new professor of the Black Eagles house, but it's not the one Edelgard and Hubert had planned to take on the role—and to make matters worse, Edelgard knows her. She could never forget her, or a single moment of that hot summer night when they met in Enbarr.

Worst of all, the professor doesn't seem to remember Edelgard.

AU in which Byleth and Edelgard meet by chance a few months before the start of White Clouds.
