Jhiqui brought a soft towel to pat her dry. “Khaleesi, which tokar will you want today?” Asked Irri.
“The yellow silk.” The queen of the rabbits could not be seen without her floppy ears. The yellow silk was light and cool, and it would be blistering down in the pit. The red sands will burn the soles of those about to die. “And over it, the long red veils.” The veils would keep the wind from blowing sand into her mouth. And the red will hide any blood spatters. - Daenerys IX, ADWD
I'll never not find the mance-rattleshirt switcharoo hilarious
Bonus :
There were needles in his jaw, in his eyes. His head was pounding. "Please," he squeaked, his voice thin and weak. He sounded a hundred years old. Perhaps he was. How long have I been in here? "Go," he mumbled, through broken teeth and broken fingers, his eyes closed tight against the terrible bright light.
@bidonicart happy halloween from me & the ghost in winterfell ;0; I’ve always thought that theon adwd has some of the most potent horror in the series was so happy to saw you thought so too 🖤
Hey Kaia! Discovered your blog a while ago and I’m pretty in love with your art style! If you’re still taking requests, would you draw Jeyne Poole? I wonder how you picture her.
Regardless if you do it or not, have a nice day and stay hydrated!!!
ty sm!!!!!! here’s jeyne! i plan on drawing her a lot more especially with Theon. Here’s a very loose design of her wedding day, it will prob change in the future. but have a nice day as well <3!
« Not every man has it in him to be Prince Aemon the Dragonknight or Symeon Star-Eyes, and not every woman can be as brave as my Wylla and her sister Wynafryd… who did know, yet played her own part fearlessly. »
Thinking about this illustration by Marc Fishman from the cover of the limited-edition release of A Dance with Dragons, featuring Jon with Daenerys watching over him in the sky and I will never get tired of this particular imagery associated with them:
“A trader from Qarth once told me that dragons came from the moon,” blond Doreah said as she warmed a towel over the fire.
[…]
Silvery-wet hair tumbled across her eyes as Dany turned her head, curious. “The moon?”
“He told me the moon was an egg, Khaleesi,” the Lysene girl said. “Once there were two moons in the sky, but one wandered too close to the sun and cracked from the heat. A thousand thousand dragons poured forth, and drank the fire of the sun. That is why dragons breathe flame. One day the other moon will kiss the sun too, and then it will crack and the dragons will return.” — Daenerys III, AGOT.
*
She dreamed. All her cares fell away from her, and all her pains as well, and she seemed to float upward into the sky. She was flying once again, spinning, laughing, dancing, as the stars wheeled around her and whispered secrets in her ear. — Daenerys X, ADWD.
*
I loved a maid as fair as summer with sunlight in her hair.
I loved a maid as red as autumn with sunset in her hair.
I loved a maid as white as winter with moonglow in her hair.
Guys! Guys, she is the MOON!
The white wolf raced through a black wood, beneath a pale cliff as tall as the sky. The moon ran with him, slipping through a tangle of bare branches overhead, across the starry sky.
“Snow,” the moon murmured.
[…]
“Snow,” the moon called down again, cackling. — Jon I, ADWD.
*
You should look behind you, Lord Snow. The moon has kissed you and etched your shadow upon the ice twenty feet tall. — Jon VI, ADWD.
And he is the WOLF! He is the white wolf and she is the moon in the sky and the moon is WATCHING over him, CALLING for him, KISSING him!
Say whatever you want about GRRM but don’t ever say he is not a romantic at heart and a sucker for beautiful symbolism.
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN BOOK!DANY AND SHOW!DANY— Dany and Hizdahr's conversation at Daznak's Pit
TL;DR: the show-only scene makes Dany seem misguided and potentially dangerous and tries to cast doubt on her moral compass, while the book-only scene written by George R. R. Martin showcases Dany's persistent effort to protect the ones who can't protect themselves.
On HBO: the writers created an entirely original scene in order to paint Dany as someone potentially willing to use indiscriminate violence to achieve her goals, while Hizdahr is portrayed as the more cautious figure who defends the tradition of the fighting pits for the sake of Meereen's cultural identity and continuity.
In the books: Dany is shown to be empathetic and protective of the marginalized. She imposes strict conditions to ensure that only willing participants fight in the pits and immediately steps in to stop the needless deaths of (unbeknownst to her) Tyrion and Penny. Meanwhile, Hizdahr shows no regard for the dwarfs' consent or well-being. His attempt to circumvent Dany's anti-slavery measures in order to force two vulnerable and unwilling slaves to fight against lions serves as a critique of the Ghiscari nobles, who readily perpetuate cruelty and oppression for the sake of their entertainment.
If Dany antis are so intent on proving that Dany is/will be a bad ruler by using book evidence to support their claims, I fully expect them to have actually read ADwD and not base their reading of the book on, say, an anti Dany Reddit thread. Dany antis have created this alternative version of canon and they have managed to convince themselves that this version is the real one. It is actually quite… Depressing to watch them shit all over the concept of reader comprehension.
My favorite part about the asoiaf fandom is that everybody has spend years theorizing about who could be a Targaryen based off only small bits of proof and when grrm was like “here you go have Aegon!!” Everybody said “fake”.
Thinking about the fact that the fandom saw the Theon and Ramsey’s dynamic and said “we can write wonderfully tragic modern AUs about this as an abusive pairing” and never looked back since.
Sometimes I lie in bed at night and try to imagine how terrifying life was poor Jeyne Poole. All these horrible, horrible things that were done to her -- like many characters in the books -- but the difference to most characters we see tragedy befall to in the books is that Jeyne Poole is not highborn. She is the simple daughter of a steward, dragged into the mess created by the Great Houses
i dont judge people based on what asoiaf house they think theyd be in...
...i judge people based on their opinion of the adwd victarion chapters
theon really said:
it does objectively get me that all these literal trees and animals and stuff are like trying to psychically communicate with theon and theon is like wow. this bird knows my name. and bran is on the other end of the line going like THEON! THEON! PICK UP THE PHONE!
