love it when sunlight spills through every window all at once and gilds all the rooms in honey and a house feels a little more like a home and childhood wasn’t so far back after all

MAIN CLUES THAT POINT TO DAENERYS TARGARYEN AS AZOR AHAI/PRINCE THAT WAS PROMISED

GRRM: Fire is love, fire is passion, fire is sexual ardor and all of these things. Ice is betrayal, ice is revenge, ice is… you know, that kind of cold inhumanity and all that stuff is being played out in the books.

~

GRRM: Well, of course, the two outlying ones — the things going on north of the Wall, and Daenerys Targaryen on the other continent with her dragons — are of course the ice and fire. of the title, “A Song of Ice and Fire.”

~

Viserys I on House of the Dragon [note that Aegon I’s prophecy came from GRRM himself]: Aegon saw absolute darkness riding on those winds, and whatever dwells within will destroy the world of the living. When this great winter comes, Rhaenyra, all of Westeros must stand against it. And if the world of men is to survive, a Targaryen must be seated on the Iron Throne. A king or queen strong enough to unite the realm against the cold and the dark. Aegon called his dream ‘The Song of Ice and Fire.’

+ bonus:

In a Game of Thrones video about the religions of Westeros, GRRM confirmed that Azor Ahai and Prince that Was Promised are one and the same (and not two different prophecies about two different saviors) when he says that the prince that was promised will receive Lightbringer as a token from R'hllor. Hence why the gifset collects evidence showing that Dany is Azor Ahai and Prince That Was Promised.

D&D confirmed in Fire Cannot Kill a Dragon: Game of Thrones and the Unofficial Untold Story of the Epic Series that show!Arya killing the Night King was an original, last minute decision made for the sake of shock value that 1) highlights how fickle they were (since they even considered to have a non-POV character like Sandor Clegane save the day) and 2) will have no bearing on the ASOIAF books. This is especially interesting considering 1) the fact that Jon killing Dany was also D&D’s idea, 2) the book foreshadowing for Dany being AA/PTWP, 3) GRRM having previously disproven a theory about Dany burning a place and suggesting that she’s not involved in the second dance of the dragons (which makes it unlikely that she will ever burn KL in the books) and 4) GRRM saying that he’s moving forward with his 1991 ending (which is noteworthy because Dany survives in his 1993 outline). All in all, every book related evidence suggests that Dany will continue to be written as a heroic figure in A Song of Ice and Fire.

Vibing on your roof alone on a pleasant evening is all fun till you notice a random person from the neighborhood staring at you

honestly if daemon had just been normal for five (5) minutes and like, nicely asked rhaenyra if she would take him as her husband and laid out a convincing argument to viserys, they wouldn't have had to go through all that, but noooo, he's an idiot that can only express his true feelings in the most chaotic and unhealthy way possible

[yourswitchling]

I wish Rhaenyra could have heard Daemon telling Viserys he wanted to marry her so much

Love has always been known to hurt, or to heal

But there is one notion the poets always conceal

Love doesn't always taste like fairy fruit or rotten peaches

Because through pain or through pleasure, love also teaches

To care more than needed is much too lethal, it is a fact

For Patroclus sacrificed his life to keep his lover's pride intact

As from Achilles, sodden in grief, I have learned

Hubris is an act better suited to the Gods, no matter how earned

To be on top of the world, is a long way to fall

Says the one who drowned to far from the shore to crawl

Wax burns on his back as Icarus' plummeting begun

He held out his hand, one last try to fulfil his wish to be one with the sun

To love one's own self is rare in this age of mere subsistence

As it seems like a myth why Narcissus withered out of existence

Who, unknowing of humility, carried vanity on his shoulder

Isn't it beautiful, to find the world's most captivating thing in puddle of water?

But let not these tales make your romance hard to embrace

For they all died with satisfaction on their lips and a smile on their face

The little detail of Seasmoke being invisible at first - I loved it!! Seasmoke was named that way because its silvery-grey colour could confuse itself within the ocean mist when flying low-range - they used it in such an intelligent way during the fighting, which proves that the dragons weren't just nukes to be fired at random for maximum chaos, they were actually central to war tactics.

[yourswitchling]

Riding into battle and immediately burning everything is apparently the preferred Targaryen battle strategy

Seasmoke looks like he's from fairytales😭

It really makes me laugh is that next ep Otto is obviously moving into planting more seeds of discord between Rhaenerya & Daemon & Viserys with claims they are having a relationship. Now what’s funny is not that this will eventually be very true but the fact that this “troubling news” is coming from the same man that just suggested Rhaenerya marry her 2 year old half brother.

yes hello rhaenyra x daemon enthusiasts this one is for us
