Problems I have with HOTD so far:

• not letting Alicent be actually evil. Y’all already hate her for being a GOOD person, I can’t imagine how y’all would handle an actually evil queen. I wish she killed Viserys and made Aegon heir Herself!

• no perspective of small folk, closest we have is Criston who is still more well off then 90% of king’s landing. In GOT we got small folks perspectives on their rulers a lot and I hope we get that soon.

• taking away Helaena’s autonomy. Making her the cute autistic girl who does no wrong is such a bastardization of her that it’s laughable.

• casting with specifically Laena. Do not get me wrong, the actresses are gorgeous and Amazingly talented, but because they aged her up during Rhae’s wedding it makes her look even older than Rhae even tho they have at least a 3 year age gap.

• “and now they see you as you are” WHAT? They see a woman drop all decorum for her child? She their queen willing to personally handle situations? Like I genuinely do not know what this is suppose to mean.

• bulldozing the Velaryon family. Rhaenys does nothing when both her children die to the hands of the targs, no one does anything when Vaemon dies, even when Rhae tries to make Luke the lord of the tides no one brings up that his fiancee should be the true lord not him.

• the new promo saying “[team black] acts more like a family” maybe my family is weird but we don’t fuck each other or marry each other at all

• only truely giving team black’s dragon’s personality. We know Vhagar’s SLIGHTLY but Dreamfyre and Sunfyre are nothing right now

• no Alicent birth scene. We get multiple traumatizing birth scenes but the woman who was a mother of 3 before 20 doesn’t get one? Ok

Will add more as I think of them

Companion to my Rhaenys piece.

Since I drew her sister, I had to draw the coolest Targaryen also.

Hello David, love your work and i hope you are well! If you are still taking High Valyrian questions, I have one about the words for colors (or should I say color groups in this case...?). Was there a particular inspiration or reasoning behind which colors got grouped together under which word?

Thank you and have a nice day!

We know a lot about how color terms evolve over the years. There are some common patterns regarding when new color terms emerge. In conlanging, the goal is to figure out where on that trajectory your conlang's speakers lie (assuming they're humans and the evolution is more or less natural). The landmark study was done by Berlin and Kay in 1969. The snapshot version of it is this:

STAGE 1: white vs. black

STAGE 2: white, black, red

STAGE 3: white, black, red, green, yellow

STAGE 4: white, black, red, green, yellow, blue

STAGE 5: white, black, red, green, yellow, blue, brown

STAGE 6: everything

High Valyrian is at stage 3. Now, it's very important to remember that we're talking about the development of color terms, not color perception. Individual variation aside, human eyes are the same and perceive things just as well now as they used to. That is, just because a language has fewer color terms doesn't mean those speakers can't distinguish between the two colors. Consider that we can have varying shades of what we would call sky blue and just because we'd call them all "blue" or even call them all "sky blue" doesn't mean we can't pick out a pattern going from dark to light and repeating quite easily. Basically, as differentiating color becomes more commercially important, more terms emerge.

So, long story short, I decided it would be good for High Valyrian to be at stage 3, because then it would be more interesting for the daughter languages. That is, if there's no distinction between blue and green (both kasta), maybe northern daughter languages have kasta as "blue" and take some other word for "green" based on "leaf", or something, while the southwestern languages use kasta for "green", and maybe add iēdar "water" on the front of kasta for "blue", or something like that. Thus the daughter languages can be grouped by the new color terms that developed as their speakers left the Valyrian Peninsula and settled in their new home. If High Valyrian was already stage 6 the result would be far less interesting.

That's the story behind it. :)

Hihihi! By any chance do you have an lore on you hotd knight oc? Love your art btw!

I DONT ACTUALLY HAVE MUCH HAHAHA SORRY basically the basic stuff is that he is a stormlander hedge knight who keeps popping up like a bad rash... he is kind of annoying but very loyal and kind (he is just looking for a place to live man help him out!!!) rhaenyra and him are the "can't stand her fake ass!!!! ten minutes later: me and the bestie!!" meme in my head, they are just shooting the shit <3 after the dance he eventually gets landed (yay :D) and then over the years goes on to become a real lord and forms a small house 'goldenheart' bc he wears golden armour....and is kind....  so funny

Princess Rhaenys III was a dornish woman to the realm but to Ser Aryon she was his northern rose.

Lot of people don’t get the « let me fuck Raphael » wagon because he’s a pompous asshole. A narcissist who fuck only himself well :

Yes. He is for the girls that want to destroy him. Every unhinged pulsions, dark rage, the want to use your female rage. The prospect of being soooo toxic you avenge all your wronged sisters. All in one man.

So much daddy issues to unpack in this one. To make him fall from his pedestal and he doesn’t even notice ? He is the kind of character you don’t want to change. you want to make them a pathetic mess of unresolved parenting and ego issues.

To make him run and scheme, Until the only approval he seeks, by instinct, is yours. The carrot and the stick.

(And also yes we may also want to just hear his voice too in the bed. )

In this category I also present to you (at different degrees ant at the top of my hat) other similar men who may trigger such a want :

Naoya zen’in, Ryomen sukuna, the entire Lannister family, the entire Roy family, the marquis in John wick, Daemon Targaryen, Feyd-Rautha, maegor Targaryen, Light yagami, Coryolanus snow, Sinbad…
