#wanted connection.
dance of dragons is taking applications!
below are the key wanted connections from the kingdom of the north, as well as some plot context and ideas applicants could build from. keep an eye out for similar posts about the vale, dorne, the riverlands and the crownlands/occupied stormlands.
THE KINGDOM OF THE NORTH.
open prince and princesses of house stark, two of each role is up for grabs. do they agree with owen’s drastic decisions in shaping the north, such as dismissing the maesters and forcing the night’s watch to bend the knee to him?
open lords and ladies of house bolton, including a position of master of whispers upon the council of king owen stark. in terms of background, these guys have had it rough - domeric was recently revealed as a bastard using the bolton name all along, and their border wars with the manderlys have resulted in house manderly obtaining the title of ‘dukes’ making them a step above the boltons socially. one word? revenge.
open lord karstark of karhold; younger brother of lord brandon karstark. he would have recently dealt with the death of his little sister sarra at the hands of wildlings, as well as returning from an internal war when ironborn pirates and thenns that attempted to take northern land. house karstark has also become dukes.
open lord and lady of house manderly of white harbor: siblings to lord nasir and lady manal manderly. their house has had the social improvement recently, though they are in charge of protecting the faith of the seven in the north. do they agree with nasir’s decision to remain loyal to the starry sept of oldtown, or do they believe tyland lannister has a point in centralising the faith? (note: it is expected this character would have a name of arabic/islamic origin and be a black fc)
open lords and ladies of house mormont of bear isle: their ruling lord rhydian mormont recently died as a result of a wildling attack. they also would have been involved in the war against the ironborn and the thenns. it is a great opportunity to explore a character trying to step into a responsibility they never thought they would have to, admist dealing with grief.

━ 👹┊IF YOU'RE TOO SHY (LET ME KNOW) – THE 1975.
i've been wearing nothing every time i call you / and i'm starting to feel weird about it / sometimes, it's better if you think about it / this time, i think i'm gonna drink through it / then i see her online, and i don't think that i should be calling / all the time, i just wanted a happy ending / and i pretend that i don't care about her stare / while she's giving me a tough time / well, i found a motel, it looked like the bins / i think there'd been a murder, so we couldn't get in / i need to get back, i've gotta see the girl on the screen / "maybe i would like you better if you took off your clothes / i'm not playing with you, baby, i think that you should give it a go"

[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled "immortality” after the poem by clare harner (more popularly known as “do not stand at my grave and weep”). the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]
a comic i made in about 15 hours for my school’s comic anthology. the theme was “evolution”

btw, just putting it out there that my hope for the Helluva Boss endgame is Stolas abdicating his Royal title and privileges and going to live with Blitzø and working for IMP as their accountant.
Clearly, they have a lot of paperwork that they currently push onto one of their assassins (Full Moon) and Stolas has been established as a nerd who loves reading loads of boring paperwork (Oops).
It would also tie in nicely with the conversation they had as kids (The Circus), and make it serve as very cute if on-the-nose foreshadowing.

at some point it's just like. do they even fucking like the thing they're asking AI to make? "oh we'll just use AI for all the scripts" "we'll just use AI for art" "no worries AI can write this book" "oh, AI could easily design this"
like... it's so clear they've never stood in the middle of an art museum and felt like crying, looking at a piece that somehow cuts into your marrow even though the artist and you are separated by space and time. they've never looked at a poem - once, twice, three times - just because the words feel like a fired gun, something too-close, clanging behind your eyes. they've never gotten to the end of the movie and had to arrive, blinking, back into their body, laughing a little because they were holding their breath without realizing.
"oh AI can mimic style" "AI can mimic emotion" "AI can mimic you and your job is almost gone, kid."
... how do i explain to you - you can make AI that does a perfect job of imitating me. you could disseminate it through the entire world and make so much money, using my works and my ideas and my everything.
and i'd still keep writing.
i don't know there's a word for it. in high school, we become aware that the way we feel about our artform is a cliche - it's like breathing. over and over, artists all feel the same thing. "i write because i need to" and "my music is how i speak" and "i make art because it's either that or i stop existing." it is such a common experience, the violence and immediacy we mean behind it is like breathing to me - comes out like a useless understatement. it's a cliche because we all feel it, not because the experience isn't actually persistent. so many of us have this ... fluttering urgency behind our ribs.
i'm not doing it for the money. for a star on the ground in some city i've never visited. i am doing it because when i was seven i started taking notebooks with me on walks. i am doing it because in second grade i wrote a poem and stood up in front of my whole class to read it out while i shook with nerves. i am doing it because i spent high school scribbling all my feelings down. i am doing it for the 16 year old me and the 18 year old me and the today-me, how we can never put the pen down. you can take me down to a subatomic layer, eviscerate me - and never find the source of it; it is of me. when i was 19 i named this blog inkskinned because i was dramatic and lonely and it felt like the only thing that was actually permanently-true about me was that this is what is inside of me, that the words come up over everything, coat everything, bloom their little twilight arias into every nook and corner and alley
"we're gonna replace you". that is okay. you think that i am writing to fill a space. that someone said JOB OPENING: Writer Needed, and i wrote to answer. you think one raindrop replaces another, and i think they're both just falling. you think art has a place, that is simply arrives on walls when it is needed, that is only ever on demand, perfect, easily requested. you see "audience spending" and "marketability" and "multi-line merch opportunity"
and i see a kid drowning. i am writing to make her a boat. i am writing because what used to be a river raft has long become a fully-rigged ship. i am writing because you can fucking rip this out of my cold dead clammy hands and i will still come back as a ghost and i will still be penning poems about it.
it isn't even love. the word we use the most i think is "passion". devotion, obsession, necessity. my favorite little fact about the magic of artists - "abracadabra" means i create as i speak. we make because it sluices out of us. because we look down and our hands are somehow already busy. because it was the first thing we knew and it is our backbone and heartbreak and everything. because we have given up well-paying jobs and a "real life" and the approval of our parents. we create because - the cliche again. it's like breathing. we create because we must.
you create because you're greedy.

dance of dragons is taking applications!
below are the key wanted connections from the kingdom of THE VALE, as well as some plot context and ideas applicants could build from. dance of dragons is currently looking for muns for the vale, including the small council: the hand, master of ships, master/mistress of whispers and archmaester of the vale.
in terms of plot, the kingdom of the vale has recently gotten a new queen: ravella arryn, who many whisper as cruel and mad. her husband, graham royce, was once known to be the most reliable man in the vale - perhaps some still view him as that, despite the label of kingslayer being attached to him considering it was he that butchered the resurrected late king rowan arryn after a red priestess was seen within the vale court. the late king’s daughter maddalena went missing en route to ironoaks, and her remains have only recently been found. some whisper of mountain clan attacks, however some no doubt suspect something much darker has taken place. nonetheless, it is the opportunity for the vale to start a reckoning: in an attempt to wipe out the stain of the mountain clans from their civilised society, once and for all.
THE KINGDOM OF THE VALE: THE NIGHT’S COURT.
open lords and ladies of house belmore: open lord or lady of house belmore. you could take up the position of enemy of bastard lord domeric stone of the snakewood (for taking the master of coin position traditionally reserved for house belmore) otherwise, one could possibly pick up a traditional lady of the court who feels slighted she was not picked as the betrothed to lord axell royce, the king consort’s only brother
open lords and ladies of house grafton: ruling lord and lady of house grafton, including the master or mistress of ships. house grafton recently rebelled against the late king lord rowan arryn by siding with their treasonous cousin, isembard arryn. your character’s uncle was executed for treason - this suddenly made the character’s line responsible for gulltown.
open lords and ladies of house hunter: open lords and ladies of house hunter, brother and sister to lord tristan hunter of longbow hall. house hunter have always been a prominent member of the falcon court, having advised the late lord alfrid arryn during the dance of dragons. your character could believe their older brother tristan is too conservative in his views, and perhaps feel some jealousy - do they want his small council position?
lord upcliff of witch isle: ruling lord of witch isle and the only brother of lady yuna upcliff. the upcliffs have quite a sinister reputation and have been making a name for themselves in court since the coronation of queen ravella arryn. whilst rumours of their sinister nature only spread, could there perhaps be truth to it that is beyond yuna’s strange fascination with dark magic? (must be a japanese fc)
open lords and ladies of house waynwood: the waynwoods of ironoaks were incredibly loyal to king rowan arryn, and have noticed the way in which the falcon court seems to have changed since the crowning of ravella arryn. there are whispers of the queen being mad, and considering the waynwoods were ready to ward the late king’s trueborn daughter when she went missing on route to ironoaks, perhaps they are highly suspicious of the queen and her court.
open lords and ladies of house egen: brothers and sisters of yesenia egen, cousins to king consort graham royce through his mother also being an egen. house egen initially shamed themselves by speaking freely regarding a woman’s natural weakness too openly upon the crowning of queen ravella arryn, however now it seems the children of house egen are trying to make up for their impertinent father’s big mouth. what plots could they get dragged into in an attempt to prove their house worthy?

PSA: tomatoes are not spicy. Tomatoes and tomato products should not be spicy. Pizza sauce isn't inherently spicy. Tomato-based pasta sauce is not spicy. Ketchup is NOT spicy.
If tomatoes are spicy, you have an allergy to tomatoes.
This announcement brought to you by my almost 29-year-old husband learning for the first time in his 2.8 decades of putting food products into his mouth that spaghetti and saucy pizza aren't spicy foods
