It Is Known (it Should Be)

It is known (it should be)

being a book purist about the asoiaf main series makes sense and is normal because the books are good and the show is not good. being a book purist about fire and blood is crazy because fire and blood isn’t good. hopefully this little explainer has helped clear up any confusion on this topic

The last dragon the Targaryens ever hatched, according to the books, was described as a green female, "small and stunted with withered wings", and was said to be sickly, though laying five eggs which never hatched. A skull later displayed in the throne room was later described as being "no bigger than a mastiff's skull, and oddly misshapen", likely belonging to her.

I'd seen quite a few fanart of the unnamed last dragon and they usually depicted her with an aspect of majesty and beauty, which sounded odd for what was the dying gasp of a once-powerful empire. So my take on the last dragon is the opposite, an absolutely pitiful and grotesquely deformed freak of nature, with basically everything possible wrong with her, at a glance clearly something not bound to have lived very long. Clubbed feet, a kinked tail, a severely shortened upper jaw that caused painful breathing and eating difficulties, a crooked neck, and said withered wings being hideously disfigured, one berely functional as a forelimb to hobble around on and the other a useless appendage with tangled digits. Unable to breathe fire, fly, or be used for riding in combat, she is a perfect representation of the Targaryen dynasty in its final years: frail, impotent, and a mere pathetic shadow of the glory and fearsomeness of its forebearers.

I love Brienne so much can't not reblog all the beautiful art people make of her. Everything about this is precious the shield the cape the armor the background the sword the face the scars on the face the facial expression. Brienne. The artist loves Brienne like I do.

Reflection from Mulan was so crazy she literally sang “If I were truly to be myself I would break my family’s heart” and 8 year old proto-gay me was like “I don’t know what you mean but I know what you mean”

tis true

I often see people talk about Tyrion designing the saddle for Bran as if it happened before things went sour between the Lannisters and Starks, like it's some sort of "it was a more innocent time," statement. And while yeah, it was before things got a lot worse, I feel like it doesn't do justice to what Tyrion actually did to frame it this way. The Starks and Lannisters already hated each other. They already hated each other and Tyrion designed the saddle for Bran anyway, and he gets absolutely no thanks for it by people who treat him suspiciously from the get-go, and he's treated like a traitor in his own family because of his empathy for a disabled boy. It's not really about the relationship between the two houses, Tyrion reached out to Bran as a person.
