Dracotheism

I'm genuinely shocked that the term Dracotheism isn't used to describe the practice of dragon worship. Like, that seems like a no-brainer to me, but google says it doesn't exist/or is used by people. So, here you go Tumblrinos!

Dracotheism:

- Draco (Latin/Greek drakon): meaning "serpent" or "dragon"

- theism: the belief in the existence of at least one god or deity

A person who worships dragons would be called a Dracotheist.

Feel free to use this term!

Queen's Landing - House of the Dragon 03.02

and for the first time in hundreds of years, the night came alive with the music of dragons.

arthurmorgansleftsack

if i ever come into possession of a ludicrous amount of money, one of the things i will be doing is bribing george rr martin into allowing me to adapt a song of ice and fire (game of thrones), fire & blood, and his dunk & egg series, not live action but with animation.

i'm quite partial to either Blue Eye Samurai style or Arcane (tv series) style, but I know I want it to be colourful and full of whimsy and all the fantastical things that live action shows lack

Dany's eyes? Brilliant purple that will be a burning shade of intense violet whenever she gets into a magical situation or has a speech or something equally as epic

The dragons? They will be COLOURFUL!!! Bright! Glorious! Sunfyre will have semi metallic scales that shimmer like molten gold coins in the sun! Balerion will be such a dark black it seems as though he sucks the light out the room like vanta black! Dreamfyre will be soft blue like periwinkle but with shimmery silver throughout and on her crests! Drogon will be the same all consuming midnight black as Balerion but will have swirls of blood red crimson, while Rhaegal will be a rich jade green with brindled markings of shimmery bronze/copper, and Viserion will be soft cream with striking bright golden swirls on his wings and along his spine and crests! I want colour and different textures as well, like the Cannibal's charcoal scales will look rough and hard and jagged while a more pampered dragon like Morning will have smooth, almost shiny looking scales

I'm talking silver gold hair for the Targaryen's, and mismatched eyes for Alyssa, with a streak of silver for Rhaenys The Queen Who Never Was and Rhaenys, daughter of Elia. I want to show how Aegon, Visenya and Rhaenys and the first few generations had more striking and 'unusual' facial features like roman/aquiline noses and sharp jawlines that slowly, as the Targ's mingled and spread their bloodline out, began to fade and only really show in a few select descendants - Maekar, Aerion, Aerys, Viserys, Daenerys etc

I want the wall to be 700 feet tall and Loras to have his cape of sewn together fresh roses, I want the Direwolves to grow to be massive and each one to have distinctive coats and markings, and I want the giants or unusual characters in the series to keep their physical quirks- Gregor will be 8 foot tall, the Sothoryi will have brindled skin, Tyrion will have patched blonde black hair and mismatched eyes and will lose his nose, Theon will go from a raven haired handsome young lord to a white haired skeletal relict of a man, Euron will be a dark and handsome warlock with dark blue stained lips, etc, etc

And the COSTUMES!!!

I will do Rhaenyra the justice she deserves and put her in maroons and purple velvets and silks with black and gold Myrish lace edging and thick ropes of pearls, golden rings and jewels with rubies, amber, tigers eye, jet, opals and of course her jade tiara from Yi Ti

Sansa's amethyst hairnet and moonstone earrings, Cersei's sea green silk gown trimmed with white myrish lace and her black mourning gown sewn with hundreds of blood red teardrop rubies on the bodice, Daenerys will have her snow white hrakkar/lion pelt with the lions head worn as a hood, her silver and gold victory bells, her painted leather vest and dothraki sandsilk trousers and woven grass sandals with the medallion belt, her Qartheen gowns of fine lilac silk that will shimmer like water, and Euron will have his full suit of black scaled armour made of Valyrian steel inlaid with glyphs, arcane symbols and glyphs and Ramsey will have his bloody flayed suit of armour

And the food! I will use the visuals of the food to set the mood like with the red wedding, the ambiance will be dull, kind of sickly greyish greens while platters of unappetizing jellied calves brains, fish poached in almond milk, cold mashed turnips, and stringy beef are served

But when it comes to magical mythical stuff, like Dany's visions and glimpses of Asshai and old Valyria, I want the animation to change and reflect that, become surrealist almost??? Like when Dany walks through the halls of the Undying and has her visions, I want it to be clear that she see's this spectacle as we do, it looks just as strange and fantastical to her as it does to us from what she usually sees in her real world if that makes sense???

I don't know, maybe I'm just overly high on painkillers and delirious from fever but I have so many ideas, so many plans, so many wonderous fantasies but alas no money and no creative authority just a dream

The Dragon Names of House of the Dragon

Today is the third episode of House of the Dragon, so for fun I thought I’d do a post of the dragon names for all the dragons we’ve seen thus far in High Valyrian (both in the orthography and in the romanization). In the writing itself there are many ways to spell names, so the spellings you see here are just those that I decided on for this post; they’re not the only possible spellings for each dragon.

First is Arrax (Arraks) whose name is built off the glyph used in arrigon, which means “to show” or “to display”. Arrax’s (Arraks’) name doesn’t necessarily derive from this word, but it’s close enough that it can be spelled with that glyph. The last glyph is a special glyph for names that end in -x (-ks).

Next Balerion, the Black Dread. The bal- portion of the name comes from the glyph for soil balon. Next is the glyph for repetition commonly used in participles. This word isn’t necessarily a participle, but that glyph is used when there’s a -Vr extender in a name (cf. Daenerys, Jaehaerys, etc.). The last glyph is the glyph for iron āegion, which is used for the -ion ending. Both the glyphs for soil and iron imply darkness, chosen in part due to Balerion’s black scales.

Sheepstealer’s name you will have heard several times this season. The name is a direct translation, with the first glyph for bianor “sheep”, and the second two glyphs being laodio, an older word for “thief” (the more common word is laodikio). To form a compound, bianor reduces to its second stem, biādr-, which then assimilates to the following l, giving us biāllaodio.

Seasmoke’s (Embrōrbar’s) name is a standard compound. The first glyph is embar “sea” and the second ōrbar “smoke”. To combine the two, embar changes to its genitive embro, and then it merges with ōrbar. The name is literally “smoke of the sea”.

Silverwing’s (Gēliotīkun’s) name is also a direct translation of the common. Gēlio is the genitive of gēlion “silver”, and tīkun is the word for “wing”. The first two glyphs give us gēlio and the second two tīkun. It’s literally “wing of silver”.

Another Common Tongue name is Moondancer (Hūrlilio). This is less obvious in High Valyrian, as the root for moon hūra is used smashed onto the word for dancer lilio. The first glyph is the glyph of the moon; the second the glyph for dancing; and the last a glyph that gives us -io, Valyrian equivalent of -er.

The name of the great Caraxes (Karakses) derives from the Valyrian word for great kara. Following that initial glyph is the special x (ks) glyph seen in Arrax (Arraks). The last glyph is the dragon glyph which gives us the -es ending.

Meleys (Meles) is a much simpler name. The name derives from mele “red”, which uses the same glyph as the glyph for a rose. The last glyph is the dragon glyph which gives us -es.

Syrax (Sȳraks) is Rhaenyra’s yellow dragon, and its name derives from sȳz “good”. In its modified forms, the root of sȳz is sȳr-, and so when it combines with the -x (-ks) glyph it’s Sȳraks, not Sȳzaks.

The old god Vhagar (Vagar) lends its name to this dragon. As an old god, the name has many spellings, and its old pronunciation has been lost. This time I spelled it with the consonantal glyphs V, H, and G with the blood glyph giving us the -ar ending. Whatever the V and H were supposed to represent has been lost to time, but the H will stick around in the spelling as a vestige of the old god’s name.

The name Vermax (Vermaks) is a combination of the glyph used in vermagon “to warn” and the -x (-ks) terminal glyph.

Vermithor (Vermitor) is another old name which has many spellings. In this instance, I used the same glyph as with Vermax (Vermaks), added a consonantal T, and used the shadow glyph to give us the -or ending.

Finally we have the Common Tongue name Sunfyre (Vēsperzys). This is a simple compound, with the sun glyph vēzos being sandwiched onto the front of perzys “fire”, similar to the moon glyph in Moondancer (Hūrlilio). The z of vēzos assimilates to the following p of perzys, devoicing to s.

Obviously, there are more dragon names than this in A Song of Ice and Fire (and more that have been mentioned in House of the Dragon), but these are the ones we have pictures of (or skulls, at least). I have to say, GRRM doesn't disappoint when it comes to the quantity of dragons. If dragons are supposed to be a big thing in the series, there better be a lot of them, and there are, so hats off to him for that!

Daemon: Rhaenyra listen to me I saw a blond girl with dragons. A blond girl with dragons Rhaenyra. Now that may not seem at all unusual or miraculous to you or me probably because all our dragons are still alive and we have no reason to think anything is going to happen to them but would this woman who roofied me 58 times in a one week span have lied? Do you think she’d show me a tree man without cause? Do you think people are just blonde for no reason? Exactly. Now put your shoes on, we’ll avenge Jeremy
