RACHEL ZEGLER at The ‘Snow White’ Press Event In Tokyo, Japan, Dressed In A Custom Paolo Sebastian

sorry my son lectured your son for watching the counter-revolutionary children's show "paw patrol", but to be fair it is copaganda

(ACOK, Tyrion IX / So Spake Martin)

Broke: Sansa will hate Dany on sight

Woke: Sansa will see Dany and think “Blorbo from my songs”

“so lucerys / jaehaerys / rhaenys died for nothing?”

that’s the point that’s the point that’s the entire fucking point - in the book as well!! there was never any POINT!! there is never going to be a winner here!!

rhaenyra will die, aegon will die, alicent and daemon and jace and aemond and helaena will die. for nothing. because the end of this will be a broken, traumatised, dead-inside eleven year old aegon iii on the iron throne with an eight year old jaehaera for a wife who commits suicide at the age of ten, two years after being forced to marry the broken king.

the dance of the dragons is a dragon eating its own tail. it’s all for nothing and no one wins.

where the fuck did people get the idea that aegon2 and sunfyre have ‘the strongest dragonrider bond’

this- this is not a thing. it is not in fire&blood. it’s pretty explicitly just something states by the most pro-green F&b source to try and lend more legitimacy and mysticism to aegon2 as a ruler and a targaryen

like, ok, Sunfyre came to Dragonstone ‘sensing Aegon2’s need’. … Or, a deeply injured dragon just wanted to go home, to where he hatched, to where dragons thrive best, to try and heal. And even if it WAS that… We see that with multiple dragonriders and dragon bonds. We see it with Dany and Drogon- it’s heavily implied with just about everything about Daemon and Caraxes, and none of the sources were ever there to report on Rhaenyra and Syrax’s bond- but it’s not insignificant that Rhaenyra was the youngest dragonrider to known history.

Like, sorry not sorry, but no. Aegon2 does not have the strongest bond. Please reread F&B - because as soon as he’s done crying about the death of the dragon who died due to HIS choices, Aegon states “I shall have a new Sunfyre, prouder and fiercer than the last.” with his intent to hatch an egg. That dragon was a tool to him more than anything else. And that’s… deeply sad. Sunfyre deserved so much better than that.

For all that Rhaenyra intended to hatch eggs, she never is reported to start she’d have a ‘new’ or ‘better’ Syrax.

do you think people can still be fans of dany even if they want/expect her to take a villainous turn in the books?

well, i don't really think about that. not an arbiter of who does or doesn't get to be a fan of something. but yeah if someone is misinterpreting a story or a character, i'll side eye them, i guess. so, in that sense people who seriously think she's about to have a fascist downfall arc are misinterpreting the text. badly. i don't really come across people who genuinely enjoy this version of the character because ime a lot of "anti" posting is motivated by outrageous levels of hatred for a character and a desire to see them be beaten down by the text. but i presume when this exact scenario doesn't come to pass in the books, they'll understand they had a wrong read on her character ^⁠_⁠^

Aegon: it’s always ‘Stormy is a boring color’, okay and what about his face card-

Some sketches of Stormy (the greatest dragon ever)

im in a constant state of ‘would feel better if in a forest’

If I hadn’t read the books/watched the show- I would genuinely think Alicent was a tortured small folk girl and not the daughter of the second most powerful man in the realm who hailed from one of the most ancient, wealthiest and powerful houses of nobility in Westeros who control the citadel and faith of the seven and then went to marry the king during a time of peace and prosperity and then went on to actively rule in his stead for years because he was too sick to do so himself.

But if alicent stans actually acknowledged all of that, they wouldn’t be able to chronically victimise her

Lmaoooo anon, that's literally so true😭😭 They act like she was picked up off the street with no family, no influence, no money. Like that girl was the daughter of the second most powerful man in the realm.

Yeah, in the the show, she was initially left with little choice, like before she married Viserys. But, she still is more privileged than almost everyone currently in ASOIAF. She's rich, has power, she can literally attack the heir to the throne with no consequences! That girl activity chooses to be a victim after the time skip.

To her stans though, she may as well be an impoverished saint.

From the mind that brought you "ribbons on a direwolf" now comes: Jewelry on a Dragon.

Coming this Dream of Spring

Dorne and house Martell week > day 3: favorite pre-series era Dornish(wo)man

Princess Elia Nymeros Martell was the fourth child and first daughter born to the ruling Unnamed Princess of Dorne, and the second surviving infancy after Doran. Born a month premature, her health was always delicate. Elia was said to be beautiful, slender with black eyes. She was gentle, kind and clever with a sweet wit. Born about a decade after Doran but one year before Oberyn, she was particularly close to her younger brother. Elia and Crown Prince Rhaegar Targaryen were betrothed in 279 AC and married the year after. Their marriage, although not romantic, seemed happy. Two children were born of their union: Rhaenys and Aegon, but the pregnancies strongly affected her health. Set up on his prophecy quest, Rhaegar humiliated her by crowning 16-year old Lyanna Stark Queen of Love and Beauty at the Tourney of Harrenhal, and then, by sparking Robert’s Rebellion following his kidnapping of Lyanna. During Robert’s Rebellion, she was kept with her children at King’s Landing by King Aerys II as hostages to prevent Dornish betrayal and to blackmail Kingsguard Lewyn Martell. She was murdered, alongside her children, during the Sack of King’s Landing by Gregor Clegane.
