Thank you so much for tagging me @lonelyvampx and @dr-aegon

1- What's a movie you could watch a million times and never get bored of? 🎥 I was torn between three: No Country for Old Men, Romy and Michele's High School Reunion, and the one I picked. EVER AFTER. I mean I have a tattoo of the wings with the phrase: Breathe. Just Breathe in in wings.

2- A food you absolutely cannot stand 🍽️ Fish. Of any kind. I have tried but I cannot. I do not like the smell nor the taste.

3- If you were a natural phenomenon, what would you be? 🌬️ Volcano. They are dormant more often than not, but when they erupt it is a sight to see. I'm not saying in the sense of exploding in anger. The explosion could mean anything. Joy, happiness, excitement frustration, determination, etc. But when I "explode" it means that there is so much emotion within me that I cannot hold back anymore.

4- One power you wish you had and why 🪄 I was torn between powers like Mystique from X Men and what I settled on: Teleportation. But I would like it to be where I think of the place or see a picture of the place and can teleport there without any trouble. Free travel.

5- Did you know you're actually a beautiful person? 💌 I do try to remind myself of that. I feel I remind others way more.

That’s a cute foot fetish you got there, would you mind keeping it 25796323689432 feet away from me?

I think I am officially Fandom Old. I am so worn out from the arguments on who's the top or the bottom (who cares), what is allowed to be written (anything you want, bejeebus), what is Problematic (I know, just tag it), what other people Should Do (they Should live their lives free of judgment). There isn't a Right Way to do things. Tag your stuff appropriately, don't read stuff you don't want to read, and leave other people (me) alone.

Elle Fanning as Catherine the Great THE GREAT — Season 1 (2020)

[mermaidslabyrinth]

Currently reading ASOIAF books and rewatching GoT and HotD too, it made me want to draw characters from ASOIAF… i already draw Aegoniii and Rhaenyra a year ago…

I plan to redraw it since i did it in my old ipad and well… i lost all my art there but it’s good i had them in my insta account so i just screenshot it and i plan to draw it again. I don’t like how Rhaenyra looks so… i guess that’s the struggle of being an artist, the more you look back at your old work the more you want to change stuff. i'll do it, idk when since i'm pretty sick the past few weeks and can’t really enjoy drawing when i'm sick.

🔪 ⇢ what's the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project?

Hi there, thank you for asking ♡♡

🔪 ⇢ what's the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project?

... cock sounding.

If you don't know what it is, do not google it. Either way, I am so sorry about my answer but I'm being honest haha.

🥐 ⇢ name one internet reference that will always make you laugh 

I swear this type of questions always make me feel like I've forgotten everything I've ever known because I can't think of a single one...

🍦 ⇢ name three good things about a character you hate

I don't think I truly hate any character from HotD, I just don't like Corlys... three good things is going to be hard.

his wife is cooler than him

his children were good, kind people

his granddaughters are cooler than him

Does that work? lol

Fanart Project Update

So I have been working since the end of May to get the sketches done for my fanart project. I finished up this weekend/Tuesday on getting the details done. They can still be a little tweaked here and there but for now, this is how they will mostly look once I start inking and water coloring them.

I felt I should update the people that so graciously offered up characters for me to draw. To not let them think that I was shirking the task that I laid before myself.

Under the cut are the drawings. If you have any thoughts on what colors the outfits could be, I am very open.

First for @vhagar-balerion-meraxes I drew two Aegons. The first was my first drawing of any of the art pieces. I felt I could do a little better so I did another one.

Next for @sikudastoner was Lady Jeyne Arryn. I went off of what the actor Amanda Collins looked like mixed with my own thoughts.

Then for @multiverse-of-multifandoms I drew Rhaenyra and Alicent. Rhaenyra was one I had to stop and come back to. I was getting too inside my head (I had to get her nose just right). I'm still trying to figure out the headpiece for Alicent, I'm going with the vibes of the Seven.

For @heretherebebookdragons I drew Baela and Rhaena. I am unsure about Baela's clothing but I went with the whole she sees herself as "fire and blood". As for Rhaena, I had to do something with her hair. In my opinion, season one did her so dirty. I'm not 100% satisfied but I can fix it before I ink. I gave her Rhaenyra's necklace from Daemon. I got the idea from @happilyhertale from a quick talk we had months ago.

Finally for @rainwingmarvel7 I drew Jace and her OC, Therese Targaryen. With Jace I'm still trying to figure out if I like the design of his outfit. And for Therese, I do hope I captured how you see her.

Thank you all for giving me characters to draw. I have enjoyed doing this. It has definitely pushed me into expanding on figuring out designs for outfits and hair. That has been much appreciated in helping hone that skill. As well as figuring out how to create a “realistic” look to the hair. So, again, quite grateful to everyone.

Early holiday present for myself and my readers :3

(Also, I’m planning to update Compromise this weekend, assuming I don’t get struck by a sudden catastrophe.)

I loved my Velargirls artwork by @shripscapi so much that I went and got the Targbros done too!

Details I want to gush over:

Aemond

His sapphire! I imagine in-universe people asked him if he would prefer to wear his eyepatch for the portrait, but by this time in his character growth he went “fuck it, I have a sapphire eye, just show it in the painting.”

Embroidery details on his collar! They’re based on traditional Greek motifs which remind me of waves.

Dragon scale pattern on his shirt! The jade green color is an homage to Vhagar, who is supposedly jade green (according to official sources) even though she looks brown on screen. 🧐

Breastplate and stance are supposed to convey that he’s a military man. He has that sapphire blue sash for a bit of pizzazz. Overall we didn’t want him being too fancy and ostentatious, because that isn’t his style, but we still wanted him to look princely.

His sword is Siren Song, as described in Compromise. So he does get his hands on it again eventually. 🤧

Aegon

Jace 100% picked his outfit for the portrait (to coordinate with her own).

Red is a prominent color to emphasize his Targaryen-ness. I also wanted gold for Sunfyre and themes. But I was afraid of red and gold being too Lannister, so we added some white into the mix.

Big chain! Aegon is contractually required to wear chains in fanart. 😂

Aegon’s outfit is the fanciest of the brothers, because as the consort of the future queen he has standards to uphold. #trophyhusband

The flower crown was shripscapi’s idea! Originally I wanted him holding a wrapped gift intended for Jace but wasn’t sure how to convey that. So shripscapi suggested a flower crown that matches the rose Jace is holding, to imply that Jace plucked her flower from the crown. 🥰 Aegon isn’t one to participate in tourneys, but he might be tempted for the chance to crown Jace as Queen of Love and Beauty. 🌹

Daeron

Face reference is Jack Cunningham-Nuttall, who was one of the actors theorized to be Daeron before S2 crushed our hopes and dreams.

We went for a more scholarly appearance for Daeron, who spent a few years studying and training in Oldtown. The robe he wears is apparently a style prevalent among scholars historically.

He isn’t planning to be a septon, but he is fairly devout to the Faith so he wears the seven-pointed star pendant. His book is also supposed to be the book The Seven-Pointed Star.

Cobalt blue is his dominant color, along with some copper accents like the pendant in his hat, because Tessarion. He also wears a bit of red to coordinate with Joff. We wanted the boys to coordinate with the girls because…

Tadaaa! Look at them, they’re all so gorgeous. 😭 Jace and Aegon match the most. Luce and Aemond share a whole spectrum of blues and greens. Joff and Daeron contrast the most without clashing; also, I love their polar opposite books.

And now the whole group. 🙇🏻‍♀️

WHO IS OLENEEE

sorry anon i love just not explaining anything

shes my girl from qarth who ive posted about but never expanded on beyond that one hunger games au i did …. comes to king’s landing during aegon iv’s reign in hopes of becoming a performer but ends up working in a brothel instead . where she meets symon dayne who is my oomfs oc and they build a questionable age gap relationship before he marries her and she has to adjust to being a noble lady . and the wife of an older evil man . her name is olive but symon calls her olene instead because its a proper lady name

shes really sad and gloomy with the consistent belief that she’s doomed to suffer for all eternity and it kind of comes true without fail

THE DEATH DAY OF LUCREZIA BORGIA (June 24, 1497)

"Our most clement Creator has given me so many gifts, that I recognize the end of my life and feel within a few hours I shall be out of it, having however first received all the holy sacraments of the Church [...] To your grace I commend my lord Consort and my children." — LUCREZIA'S LAST LETTER TO POPE LEO X

"Lucrezia Borgia, Duchess of Ferrara, was buried in her beloved convent of Corpus Domini where she still lies to this day. Her life had been one of incredible wealth and incredible loss, as well as surviving the terrible rumours that stalked her throughout her life. She was vilified as an incestuous harlot who poisoned her enemies yet the truth was that she was a simple, pious woman who loved her family deeply. Her only crime was to be born a Borgia, their name and actions both real and imagined, tainting her even after death." — CESARE AND LUCREZIA BORGIA: BROTHER AND SISTER OF HISTORY’S MOST VILIFIED FAMILY (Samantha Morris)
