There was no safe anchorage at Pyke, but Theon Greyjoy wished to look on his father’s castle from the sea, to see it as he had seen it last, ten years before, when Robert Baratheon’s war galley had borne him away to be a ward of Eddard Stark. On that day he had stood beside the rail, listening to the stroke of the oars and the pounding of the master’s drum while he watched Pyke dwindle in the distance. Now he wanted to see it grow larger, to rise from the sea before him… Above the Sea Tower snapped his father’s banner. The Myraham was too far off for Theon to see more than the cloth itself, but he knew the device it bore: the golden kraken of House Greyjoy, arms writhing and reaching against a black field. The banner streamed from an iron mast, shivering and twisting as the wind gusted, like a bird struggling to take flight. And here at least the direwolf of Stark did not fly above, casting its shadow down upon the Greyjoy kraken. Theon had never seen a more stirring sight. ~ A Clash of Kings, Theon I

[misogynistic person who is biased against women and favors men in all circumstances] wow it's so crazy that in literally every show and book and movie ever made all the male characters are likable and sympathetic but all the female characters are shallow and irrational... obviously this is the fault of the writing and nothing to do with me

ASOIAF LIVES SERIES

THE LIFE OF: AENYS I, KING ABOMINATION

"Aenys would not disgrace himself in battle, his tutors told one another, but no songs would ever be sung about his prowess. Such gifts as this prince possessed lay elsewhere. Aenys was a fine singer himself, as it happened, with a strong sweet voice. He was courteous and charming, clever without being bookish. He made friends easily and young girls seemed to dote on him, be they high or low born. Aenys loved to ride as well. His father gave him coursers, palfreys, and destriers, but his favourite mount was his dragon, Quicksilver." - Fire & Blood, pg 53.

"King Aenys loved his wife, his children, and people, and wished only to be loved in turn. Sword and lance had lost whatever appeal they ever had for him. Instead his Grace dabbled in alchemy, astronomy and astrology, delighted in music and dance, wore the finest silks, samites and velvets, and enjoyed the company of maesters, septons and wits [...] Grand Maester Gawen wrote that Aenys trusted everyone, Maegor no one. The king was easily influenced, swaying this way and that, like a reed in the wind, like as not to heed whichever counselor last had his ear." - Fire & Blood, pgs 67-8. "The coming of the new year found King Aenys still on Dragonstone, sick with fear and indecision. His Grace was but thirty-five, but it was said he looked like a man of sixty, and Grand Maester Gawen reported that he oft took to his bed with loose bowels and stomach cramps. When none of the Grand Maester's cures proved efficacious, the Dowager Queen took charge of the King's care, and Aenys seemed to improved for a time... only to suffer a sudden collapse when new reached him that thousands of Poor Fellows had surrounded Crakehall, where his son and daughter were reluctant 'guests.' Three days later, the king was dead." - Fire & Blood, pg 74.

MAIN CLUES THAT POINT TO DAENERYS TARGARYEN AS AZOR AHAI/PRINCE THAT WAS PROMISED

George R.R. Martin to Al Jazeera: Well, of course, the two outlying ones — the things that are going on north of the Wall and Daenerys Targaryen on the other continent with her dragons — are of course the Ice and Fire of the title A Song of Ice and Fire.

George R. R. Martin to Adria’s News: I mean… Fire is love, fire is passion, fire is sexual ardor and all of these things. Ice is betrayal, ice is revenge, ice is… you know, that kind of cold inhumanity and all that stuff is being played out in the books.
