witches of a song of ice and fire:

Melisandre of Asshai

“The red woman. Half my knights are afraid even to say her name, did you know? If she can do nothing else, a sorceress who can inspire such dread in grown men is not to be despised.”

love when stories inflict unspeakable horrors onto a person for no real reason. its not karma. its not payback. its not a lesson. its not your fault. no ones even out to get you in particular. youre not the chosen one or special or anything. it just sorta happened and you were there. sorry man

A slight break from the current ASOIAF characters. We've made it to the end of book canon! (And since the show went off the rails/ended horribly we'll explore some of the main plot points that COULD work with good writing... but the show gave up on that a long time ago so we won't go into much detail.)

Why yes I have listened to versions of her song on repeat, however could you tell?

I decided that the "past" went through a sideless surcoat phase that I'll reference again later. It's a very recognizable/unique medieval fashion trend that makes this redesign feel both still relevant to the previous GoT redesigns while also highlighting it as being very different.

Barristan Selmy had known many kings. He had been born during the troubled reign of Aegon the Unlikely, beloved by the common folk, had received his knighthood at his hands. Aegon’s son Jaehaerys had bestowed the white cloak on him when he was three-and-twenty, after he slew Maelys the Monstrous during the War of the Ninepenny Kings. In that same cloak he had stood beside the Iron Throne as madness consumed Jaehaerys’s son Aerys. Stood, and saw, and heard, and yet did nothing.

But no. That was not fair. He did his duty. Some nights, Ser Barristan wondered if he had not done that duty too well.

In FFIV you go to the moon and fight desserts. I feel like more people should be aware of this.

I'm ... unsure on the wisdom of this science, but I can't not reblog GRRM with a puppy. (Also obligatory joke that he is too busy resurrecting extinct species to finish WoW because he walked right into that one).

Welcome to Direwolf Day.

I’ve been holding my tongue for months now, sworn to silence yet dying to tell the world. Pardon my shouting, but…

THE DIREWOLF IS BACK.

Extinct for more than ten thousand years, but extinct no longer, thanks to Ben Lamm, George Church, Beth Shapiro, and the rest of their team of mad scientists at Colossal, the world leader in the science of “de-extinction.”

I met them all in February, in… well, that would be telling. And I met Romulus and Remus too.

Here’s me and Romulus. (Or maybe Remus. They’re twins, and hard to tell apart.

If you have ever been tempted by a Paleozoic Pal, like a a stuffed trilobite or a full size eurypterid body pillow, now's the time to buy one, before they and a really lovely little museum are gone for good 😭😭😭
