Continuing to think about Dany's connection to her dragons. How she literally draws strength from them and how they are exactly what she wished them to be when she named them.

Viserion and Rhaegal do not reflect Viserys and Rhaegar. Viserion is what Dany needed from Viserys, loving and affectionate. He is the least aggressive of the three dragons. Dany had such a clear idea of what she needed from Viserion - to do what Viserys could not.

Rhaegal is what Dany envisioned Rhaegar (her valiant brother who died fighting) was. Viserys probably told her Rhaegar was a great warrior. Maybe Viserys also didn't know the true Rhaegar that we are introduced to by Barristan Selmy. Instead of reflecting the somber and reflective Rhaegar, Rhaegal grows to be the aggressive and willful warrior Dany imagined her brother was. He is the most aggressive of the three.

thinking about how dany had less rights than her husband's horse yet some ppl still act like she had any sort of agency in the relationship

Daenerys and Jon are Traumatized Romantics

Daenerys dreams of Daario after he’s left and increasingly romanticizes him more and more the longer he’s gone. When he finally returns she’s eager to see him, but is very upset upon discovering he really is a sell-sword that is ruthless and brutal. In her mind she had envisioned someone who was safe for her, who was romantic and sexy and shared her values. Upon discovering he is not exactly that person she becomes very upset.

I think Jon is also a romantic in his own way. He tries to re-contextualize his time with Ygritte as meaningful and tragic, similarly to how Daenerys looks back on her time with Drogo. However, at the time, Ygritte was simply just a person that Jon got caught up with. He was attracted to her and cared for her, but I don’t believe he was truly in love with her. Dying when, where and how she did resulted in her being martyred in his mind. Which again, is very similar to how Drogo is remembered in Daenerys mind.

Daario’s relationship with Dany represents seeing her lover as a person, but also a romantic figue. Daenerys and Jon romanticizing Drogo and Ygritte respectively, helps them cope with the trauma they dealt with during their time with their first “loves”.

Even how Jon thinks about Val is romanticized in many ways “lonely, lovely, and lethal” is so poetic. Jon does see Val as a person, but there is also that layer of romanticization there. Val and Jon are not explicitly romantic with each other, but there is a softly subtle undertone to their interactions that says otherwise. I also find it interesting that though Melissandre shares Ygritte’s red hair and forward nature, he isn’t particularly attracted to her in any way. He seems to prefer the boundaries he shares with Val to anything else. The boundaries he probably would have kept around Ygritte had he not been forced into that relationship so soon.

Ultimately, both Jon and Dany had their perception of sex and romance skewed early on in their lives by partners that were older, more experienced and uncaring towards their comfort. They were too young to have a good grasp on what a relationship should look like, and even if they did and even if Ygritte and Drogo were safe partners (which they weren’t), the fact that they were both so stressed and at such pivotal transitional times in their early lives when they first “fell in love” really did do a number on both of them.

GRRM’s idea of what qualifies as pedophilia/grooming and what qualifies as romance needs to be studied under a microscope

I don't think we talk enough about how the dragons' names worked out:

Viserion

for Viserys

Rhaegal

for Rhaegar

Drogon

for Drogo

But did anyone make the connection to the D name of the Tagaryen sibling group that most of the names were pulled from?

She was the dragon.

[aeriondripflame]

drogon is balerion reborn, he is a conqueror’s dragon. unlike viserion or rhaegal, drogon was not named in sentiment or memory of someone else, but named to strike fear. and to dany there was nothing scarier than khal drogo.

Rewatching season 2 and yeah the changes made to the Qarth storyline were . . . not great. Like, outside of butchering Dany's visions (where is the Red Wedding vision? Where is Ser Willem and the house with the red door? Where is RHAEGAR?), the entire logic behind Xaro Xhoan Daxos and Pyat Pree's plot to kill the Thirteen makes absolutely no sense. The Thirteen are not the sole ruling body of Qarth; in fact, they're not even *the* ruling body of Qarth, that is primarily the Pureborn, who deal with civic aspects of governance within the city. But no single group has unchallenged control over the city, so killing the Thirteen would just raise the ire of the Pureborn, the Tourmaline Brotherhood, and all the other powers that contend within the city. There was no way they would be able to get away with that and make Xaro "King" of Qarth so the whole plot just falls apart the moment they commit that scale of murder and turn the rest of the city against them.

[asharaxofstarfall]

some people do forget that sansa, dany, alicent and margaery were all child brides

[kingsmoot]

very silly point of personal pride but lysa's crazy lady auburn hair, her only vanity, is described as being to her waist... and mine is longer

[tweedstoat]

I haven’t seen hotd but from the gifs and meta’s and show clips I’ve become a bit attached to alicole and I think about how Elia could have had that if Arthur wasn’t such a pathetic wet noodle.

Honestly I am not a huge fan of Criston Cole so far (may change when I begin watching the show) but I am also not a huge fan of Arthur Dayne. But I will admit Criston cares more about what happens to Alicent than Arthur cared about what happened to Elia.

Oh Fuck Dammit. It's Happening Again.

Haunted doll influcer. Fuck my life.

Ok, deep breaths.

First thoughts:

The doll speaks vaguely of his 'room mate' often deriding him but becomes flustered when pressed.

He admits his room mate is the one who has to take care of him since he can not move on his own yet. and that he appreciates the effort his room mate puts into it.

The room mate does not know the doll is haunted at first.

Ok. Ok that's a base. That's something that can be worked with.

Who was the ghost before now? ... He doesn't know. All he remembers is steadily blinking into being one day.

Why? ... he's not a ghost is he? He's a thought form. The roommate loved his doll so much it became real.

Who is this roommate? An introverted weirdo is too normal... He's a witch. Still learning the trade and struggling with his magic going on tangents. There's nothing special about the doll itself. It's just a doll he cherishes and talks to a lot when he's trying to work his way through a problem.

This story can't be mean about them. The witch isn't pathetic for loving his doll. He's strange, yes, but it earns him a devoted partner/familiar in the end.

the witch is very lonely. Perhaps it's by choice? He struggles with people... He struggles with people but his solitude was not a choice. What would make a witch stay locked away with only a doll for company? There's a sickness. Is it in him? some rot he's been sealed away so that it may be contained? No. No it's the world that's sick. (modern magic dystopia? perhaps the world has already begun to heal into it's new more sickly shape?(Cool plague doctor vibes))

The doll grows stronger the more the witch believes in him. Their love is strange, but there's no tint to it. It's full, and sturdy, and healing in a toxic land.

It starts the size of a large toy. Perhaps it can return to that shape if it needs too? It's the witch's spell work that makes it look more real. It's his handiwork that made it too. Ok Yeah. Yeah Ok I can work with this.

The story is told in short sections. The doll can interact with technology before it can interact with the physical. It messes around on the computer, and decides to record videos in the hope the witch would see them. It trys uploading them so someone might be able to tell the witch he's here. He begins uploading regularly. Chatting with a small but growing audience and stretching his power. They believe him because why wouldn't they? There's weird magic stuff happening all the time, but since the doll can't tell anyone anything about the witch other than what he looks like and what he does in their home, no one knows how to contact him. He doesn't use the computer the doll sits closest too. Always busy with something else and so he always misses the dolls attempts to reach out.

The witch finally has need for the computer one day and sees all the doll has done, He watches it all. And he Believes in his doll enough for it to finally speak and twitch like a creature moving for the very first time.

They work together when the witch makes the doll their new body, knowing already it's the silly little fabric heart the witch put in the doll when he made him that holds the entirety of him. he moves it to the new body, and it takes adjusting, but it works. and the witch feels a lot less alone.

saw a post where someone was complaining that after getting back into as0iaf/got, they remembered they didnt miss the 'discourse' about 'if a character is worse than the other or not' and if its 'morally bad to like them' and they said like

w as0iaf specifically, it barely even matters bc almost every single person in the story has done something terrible and im like

maybe. just. MAYBE thats just bc its just written bad and grrm is a fucking weirdo. have u thought of that.
